Family Guy episode April 1 - Warcraft references

Player gets every achievement in game (3,314) - Xirev, a blood elf fire mage

Need to do things like reach prestige 25, collect 300 toys and mounts, and win 5000 pvp pet battles

One achievement ahead of Metatrosha, a human shadow priest (same number of points; Alliance have one extra 10 pointer)

Wowhead interview with Xirev

Single hardest achievement: high rated PvP ones - most others simply “tedious”

Single hardest non-PvP achievement - “Going to Need a Bigger Bag” - obtain all the rare items from Timeless Isle. Involved a lot of realm hopping (56 items)

Time /played: Estimated 850-900 days /played. 434 days /played on mage alone.

20,400 to 21,600 hours

8,760 hours in 1 year (not counting leap years)

Done over 6 years - 6 years has about 122,400 hours (without leap years)

Average of 5.5-6 hours per day, every day, or 38.5 - 42 hours per week

Ren: Did my own /played calculation on all active toons - came out to 6554 hours or 273 days /played. Sounds like a lot, but when averaged over 10 years (didn’t play for 4 years out of the past 14) it comes out to less than 1 hour per day /played

Alpha News

Changes to quest log - looked at first like the quest log limit was going up to 50. Not true - but it seems like some quests no longer count toward the 25 limit - including account wide quests such as many battle pet quests

Enchanting: many new ring and weapon enchants, glove enchants for gathering professions

RETURN OF Wands (Scepters). Last available: VANILLA

Engineering: some of the usuals like glasses, explosives, and scopes

RETURN OF Engineered belts. Last available: WRATH OF THE LICH KING

More weapons (guns, maces)

Interesting bits: Slumber Bombs, Electroshock Mount Motivator (+10% mount speed for 10 seconds, stacks up to 5x, “increased motivation may cause your mount to become disoriented”), Deployable Attire Rearranger, Interdemensional Companion Repository (portable stablemaster), and an XA-100 Surface Skimmer (25 sec duration)

Inscription: new codex

New Darkmoon cards, Vantus runes

RETURN OF
