This is a very misleading hearthstone that is tricking people into spending their anima when in fact the only difference between the regular hearthstone and the Kyrian hearthstone is the animation. This “toy” shows up as a reward when you rank up your renown as if you are will be able to hearth back to your Kyrian base. Many people are spending their anima on this item which is not right, this needs to be fixed.
There’s nothing misleading about it. It’s marked as a toy and does exactly what it says on the tin. All the cosmetic hearthstones are toys.
If you read the text it tells you it’s not a specific covenant hearthstone.
Use: Returns you to Hearthstone Location. Speak to an Innkeeper in a different place to change your home location. (30 Min Cooldown)
If went to the covenant it’d just say “Return you to Elysian Hold” and nothing else.
Cosmetic toy hearthstones have been around for awhile now.
The Innkeeper’s Daughter was one of the original rares finds from Archaeology so since at least Cata. I’m not sure if there were others before then.
Why is it displayed as a Renown reward and not the other items? There are many complaints about this on wowhead and other sites… Display of renown rewards are only displayed due to significance in the game… Which this toy is not. Your opinion of “all cosmetic hearthstones are toys” “it’s marked as a toy” is an opinion based on emptiness. Why is it not presented as only cosmetic? Or an explanation of changes the animation of hearthstone? Which none of the information displayed reads. Instead it’s a toy shown as a Renown reward with much significance
Situational awareness and foresight into reading the provided information in the tool tip often leads to more knowledge. I know, I know, having to read instead of clicking agree and go go go. The humanity of it all.
This is actually incorrect, nowhere does it actually state it shares cooldown with hearthstone, its only a cosmetic chance, or only has a change in animation… I know I know… I have a bias reply because I like to read other comments and reply with no logical understanding…
Aw, so adorable. If you read the tool tip, you would have known what you are getting. Instead knee jerked into must have, must have now with no after thought of it.
Buyer beware products don’t always affect the real world, they can pose as gimmicky digital products as well.
There are others posting on forums that share the same thought, I am bringing this attention to change the wording so others do not accidentally purchase this renown reward. Thanks, now… back to Torghast.
It is not misleading at all. There have only been two Hearthstones in WoW’s history that I am aware of that are special: the Garrison one and the Dalaran stone. Both stones have unique descriptions. All other special Hearthstones act like a normal Hearthstone and have the normal Hearthstone description. The problem is not that these stones are misleading; the problem is the existence of the Garrison and Dalaran Hearthstones being called Hearthstones.
Because it is a renown reward. All the renown rewards are displayed when you get them. It says “Rank X, So and So unlocked.” and it does this for every rank, and it always displays everything you get. The other cosmetic we got so far, the back piece, had the same exact title card.
There has not been one renown rank where it hasn’t shown this, and it will continue to do so for the memories you unlock, the armor pieces, etc. All of which much be purchased from the vendor.
agreed was extremely pissed off when I bought this damn thing everybody’s buying them expecting them to do what they freaking say they’re going to do work as a Hearthstone
Several players I know got it thinking it was a separate hearthstone placed in the game to help with the horrid fp system…
Nope… what a shame
I almost fell for it, and then seen it was a toy. Would have loved one for Elysian Hold. But oh well.
No, it’s not. It is very, VERY clearly labeled as a toy in the item’s description, and cosmetic hearthstone toys are not new. Anyone who feels mislead about it simply failed the very simple task of reading an item’s description before buying.
It very clearly says ‘Toy’, and this is how hearthstone toys have always worked. The Garrison and Dalaran hearthstones are different and are NOT toys, they are unique items that take up an inventory spot.
Rather than everyone being like ‘don’t be a derp,’ I’ll say that it really should read ‘replaces the animation while you hearth.’
That would make this a non-issue, along with any other toy appearance hearth change.
That would be inaccurate though, if you use your normal hearthstone it still has the old animation, the Covenant specific animation only plays when you use with that specific toy from the collection tab.
Ok… My bad.
“Use this toy to hearth more coolerish”
All I hear is “this is how it used to work” or it says “toy” instead of any direct quotes from the item itself. Again, no where in the description does it say it’s only an appearance change or even gives the slightest interpretation… it being a “toy” gives no direct meaning to only appearances…
Just an update: Warcraft Devs changed the language as recommended by many others and myself… As previously stated… it was worded INCORRECTLY. ty plz come again.
