Was doing the Nazmir Incursion on my Alliance Paladin and one of the WQ had me attacking a blood elf training ground filled with Farstriders and Blood knights. One thing I noticed during the rampant slaughter was the presence of Burning Fel Crystals. The same ones that we were told were replaced with more eco friendly arcane crystals at the end of BC (and was never reflected ingame in Silvermoon).
So looks like Belves are back to using good ol’ reliable soul destroying fel.
you don’t understand how addicting that stuff is, man
Wait… I didn’t get this memo? Welp, guess it’s time to kiss my pretty yellow eyes goodbye again.
You should try out the void.
ew no, how would i even brush my hair with those tentacles?!
Have a tentacle hold a mirror so you can use both hands for your hair?
You guys do have it rough. Void is the leading cause to male pattern baldness.
huh? weren’t those San’layn?
I could swear I was kicking some San’layn around
no they were just belf mages with blood golems which we nabbed from isle of thunder
Real bloodelves never stopped using Fel! Urine yellow eyes are the heretic’s path.
/scoff
As a Blood Elf, I have the privilege of choosing eye color based on outfit.
I control the Fel - it does not control me.
Blizzard needs to get their act together and straighten out the lore. During TBC, the crystals were said to be fel crystals, and Silvermoon’s rebirth was greatly attributed to Fel energies harnessed from Outland (The BE populace didn’t know about KT’s defection yet).
At the end of TBC, with the Sunwell being reignited, the BE no longer craved a source of magic, and forewent the fel.
Then as the years went by, and Blizzard’s mad desire to whitewash everything took over, it was revealed that ONLY KT’s followers abused the fel. The general BE populace was simply mana-tapping.
What is it Blizzard?
Quit trying to make everyone good. The world is a perilous place, and people do what they can to survive. They make mistakes, form bad habits and choices. This does not make them bad people and quit abandoning your former, nuanced and INFINITELY BETTER characterization.
My guess is they use them like portable batteries.
You can even see some sucking on the crystals in Silvermoon.
It was a dumb retcon. Made the Blood Elves plight less meaningful and less costly.
Them being power hungry and saying “Damn the cost!” to survive was the only thing that made them fit in the Horde as nobels among savages.
But it makes their beard look reallllly nice
… they never stopped?

BElves haven’t ever been stopped from being Warlocs.
They’re not Fel Crystals. They’re Mana Crystals colored green. The same thing was on the Isle of Thunder and the Blood Elf NPCs there mention that they were colored to be more, ‘aesthetically pleasing.’

Sunreaver Magus says: It is days like this I miss using Fel magic. Sure, it was evil, but it got the job done.
Sunreaver Magus says: Someone told me these crystals are blue in their natural state. I am so glad someone took the time to apply some proper aesthetics.
Fel feels good.
I could have sworn that the Crystals at the Isle of Thunder were Red.
I can’t say I paid attention but I thought they were green.
I am glad that I can keep that former, nuanced characterisation as a Demon Hunter for the most part.
