25man Valithria Dreamwalker

This is Cuties Only's first down of Icecrown Citadel 25 normal mode Valithria Dreamwalker encounter which they had just realeased. They are a horde guild from Kil'jaeden whom had released a few PTR video of 25man raids during last few weeks.

Valithria Dreamwalker is a captured green dragon whom the Scourge is using as a test subject for their own ends.





This fight is very different from what we been facing and it's one original fight. It's very refreshing that your raid need to heal instead kill the boss. You start with Valithria at 50%hp and she need to be healed to full health. A lot of adds will spawn from 4 corners of the room to prevent you from helping her and you will have to deal with them.

Day of the Dead

For the Day of the Dead festivities, the people of Azeroth and Outland gather in the graveyards of every major city to cook, eat, drink, don costumes, and more in celebration of those they've lost. Because the spirit world draws closest to the world of the living during this eerie holiday, we decorate the graves of our dearly departed with flowers and candles and offerings to welcome them back, even if only for a short while.

You also will get a pet Macabre Marionette a skeleton wearing a sombrero and holding a pair of maracas, which cannot be learnedor kept like normal pets. All you need to do is acquire some Bread of the Dead (recipe can be bought) and give it to the Cheerful Spirit.

Dance with Catrina
You will be granted an achievement DEAD MAN'S PARTY and a 12-hour buff, Honor the Dead if you dance with her, which will change your appearance to that of Catrina or Chapman, the graveyard vendor who also appears during this holiday.

PTR Testing

3.3 updates, Nerfs of Buffs,

So as you all known there is gonna be a debuff Chill of the Throne (Source)which makes every player get -20% dodge. Yes it effects EVERYONE. Honestly I think druids will see more playing time instead. Why? Just read this awesome summaries by KALON at ThinkTank. He did very well.

There is only one thing that make me confuse. We will see more druids stacking stamina instead on agility now (it's already started) and we will have huge health pool. The best geared druid can get up to 69k health which is huge and that would make us takes more hits from other tank classes.

Yes agility means more armor/dodge to us in turns means more avoidance but unless your a special druid that stacked avoidance (you do?) druids won't be affected like some others tanking classes. Just read the post KALON did.

Gunship Airbattle

What the hell....A Gunship battle in WOW???? I think some BLIZZARD designer watch too much PotC trilogies too much.

Basiccally the goal of this encounter is to board the enemy gunship and reach the top of the citadel before the other faction. You will be helped by the leader of your faction and will be able to control turrets and board the enemy ship to take down the enemy crew.

Immo this is just another take at "world pvp" by BLIZZARD. Let's see if this gonna be a hit or a miss. Hope the lag won't kill it for me.

Lord Marrowgar

Lord Marrowgar is being tested and VODKA has just release a video of them fighting him. The fight doesn't seem that difficult.

Northrend's New Kalu'ak Fishing Derby!

Coming in patch 3.3.0, the esteemed tuskarr of the Kalu'ak are proud to introduce to Northrend the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby, a test of fishing skill with a healthy dash of luck! Every Wednesday beginning at 8 PM players can try to catch the elusive Blacktip Shark. Elder Clearwater sits in Dalaran for one hour awaiting the return of the quickest, most experienced fisher to bring him the first catch of the night. This champion fisher will be rewarded in-kind for his or her fishing expertise. Those who aren’t able to return with the first catch will still receive just reward for getting the Blacktip Shark to Elder Clearwater before he takes his leave.

It is said that these sharks’ favorite meal are the bite-sized Pygmy Suckerfish. Perhaps a hook in their waters will do the trick. Because of the increased concentration of fish, you have an increased chance to catch a shark from fishing pools. Don't forget, in patch 3.3.0 you never catch trash from fishing pools, regardless of skill.

The derby winner will receive a substantial chunk of experience (or money at maximum level) and gain 5000 reputation with the Kalu'ak. In addition, the champion will be given a choice between two unique rewards:



Dread Pirate Ring
Binds on Account
Unique-Equipped
Finger
+34 Stamina
Requires level 1 to 80 (80)
Equip: Improves critical strike rating by 53.
Equip: Improves hit rating by 29.
Equip: Experience gained from killing monsters and completing quests increased by 5%.


Boots of the Bay
Binds When Picked Up
Feet
Requires Fishing (200)
Equip: Increased Fishing +15.
Use: Whisks you away to the finest drinking establishment in Booty Bay. (1 Day Cooldown)

To keep it interesting, the Achievement "Master Angler of Stranglethorn" has been changed to "Master Angler of Azeroth." This can be earned by winning either the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby or the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza.

Please bear in mind this feature will be undergoing testing on our Public Test Realms and is subject to change prior to the release of patch 3.3.0.

Hallow's End

I'm just listing the quests that you need for the Hallowed Be Thy Name and meta-achievements.

Trick or Treat!
This is very easy, just talk to any Inn Keeper. You won't get a handful of candy every time. You get a debuff which keeps you from Trick or Treating more than once an hour. You'll want to collect magic wands during the duration of the event.

Out With It
Another easy task, just eat 4-6 candy until your tummy hurts :).

Bring Me The Head of ... Oh Wait.
To obtain Bring Me The Head of... Oh Wait, you need to go Brill (easiest) and get the quest then go to the Scarlet Monastery and enter The Graveyard. You'll see a small altar and pumpkin. Interact with the objects there in order to summon the Headless Horseman.

The Savior of Hallow's End
Every hour, the Headless Horseman will attack one of your faction's starting zones. You get quests from Orphan Matrons. Brill is the nearest and easiest.

That Sparking Smile
If you Trick or treat every hour, you will eventually be granted a toothpick. Use it and your done.

Rotten Hallow
You've got to go to the Hillsbrad Foothills, and complete either the Horde or Alliance seasonal quests there. There are two quests that need to be done.

G.N.E.R.D. Rage
While sporting the buff from this candy, your task will be to kill 50 players of the opposing factions. Which means you need to go to any Battlegrounds.

Check Your Head
Weighted Jack-o'-Lanterns drop from the Headless Horseman, which means killing him regularly will make your life easier. To make it easier just go to Dalaran and find the races.

The Masquerade
You'll need to find other people who have already gotten their wands, and ask them to hit you with their wands. Very time consuming.

Sinister Calling
This is the most difficult Hallow's End achievement, since both the Sinister Squashling and the Hallowed Helm drop from the Horseman. Kill him enough time and win the roll and these will be yours.

Tricks and Treats of Azeroth
Easy! Simply hit all the inns included in the sub-achievements.
