Not Warchief’s Blessing… Not without investing $15 IRL into a second account per month, leveling it to 20, leveling Engineering to max, orchestrating a time drop with Horde guilds, running to Crossroads on both characters while twoboxing, mind controlling yourself and hoping it doesn’t backfire… If it does, repeat step 4 and on.
And it’s only casually the highest melee DPS world buff in the game bar none… and only available to one faction - which is already better than everything else their opposition gets.
Alliance and Horde have the exact same world buffs with the sole exception being Warchief’s Blessing. Our ZG, Ony/Nef, Songflower, DMF, and Tribute buffs are all the same across the board, and acquired the exact same way. Horde have the additional WB of Warchief’s Blessing.
It is possible to acquire Warchief’s Blessing as Alliance, but you need to have a Horde character mind control you when the buff is going out. This is particularly “fun” since that means flagging yourself for PvP and entering deep Horde territory and hope no one notices you that likes disrupting such things. However, it was worth the effort to try back in Naxx since having it meant I was getting over a 95 parse on my Feral. The haste is just simply the best buff in the game for melee classes.
Hence my comment above about fleshing out the Alliance quest chain. I’d love to kill some new NPC, probably another dragon or the direct point of contact between the dragons and the Defias, that resulted in a Highlord’s Blessing with the same stats.
Players buying and selling a world buff is the sweatiest of sweaty, and it wasn’t common practice back in Vanilla. It shouldn’t be the basis of any argument about proposing a suggestion for a quest chain.
Again, if you want to ask for a world buff as part of a SOD suggestion, go for it, but take it to another thread.
keep the quest chain, but just dispense with the attunement requirement. players can still do the quest chain for the gold and the Fire Resistance necklace, but the player base is no longer burdened with the attunement.
Pay a mage for a Darn portal, fly to winterspring, go just a little south of town into the cliff area and do the jump to get to the NPC…yeah “very time consuming”. I’ve done it at least 3 times on my alliance characters on classic era, it wasn’t bad at all. If you were trying to get through the cave part, yeah, but that’s why the jump part exists and many youtube guides showing you how to do it.
I would love it to be account bound achievement change in SoD so we do it for one character and be done for the rest of our alts, for both factions. SoD isn’t going to last that long and would be a huge time saver.
Well excuse me, my 60 gnome mage went the exalted rep questing route with Darn so I could get my lovely swift mistsaber mount so missed any news of there being an issue on the mechanostriders mount…
Does buying a potion for the 2min growth buff not fix it for them not making the jump?
I have back in phase 1 (level 25 cap phase) i actually went to EVERY flight path (yes all of them) at level 25, do you how many times I died in many of those upper level zones? lol i think thru the love tunnel i died 17 times alone…
But back to your question, yes he was in desolace and actually walks thru feralas and despawns at a lake area (i followed him for 20 minutes in the shadows on my hunter) - Permawisp (always dead I am) haha
Horde has significantly better travel, which compounds on top of everything else you do in the game, every day, forever. Why would 1 quest chain that will make warlocks so stinking filthy rich not be allowed in the game?
