I still cannot wait for my Saurok hunter determined to learn and taste every cultures best recipes.

Somehow, this popped in my head of your Saurok Hunter proudly showing off their culinary skills:
I feel like Iād work on my Saurok charactersā cooking skills also. Just seems fitting.

We have some information on the nature of the Dragonflight prepatch event and its rewards, although no info on release date has been given. Info found here:
Elemental invasions occur in four areas: Unāgoro Crater, Tirisfal Glades, Northern Barrens, and Badlands. I assume the zones are mostly unchanged still, aside from angry elementals popping up and causing mayhem.
I doubt much will have changed in Unāgoro Crater, since the only time we see any Saurok there is the one microevent. Not that I was expecting anything Saurok related to begin with. Still, the event sounds fun. Especially since any player of any level can jump in and help beat up elementals, from my understanding.
Still no word on the prepatch date or when Dracthyr will be available during it. Iāll report that once an official announcement is made.
Happy Sauroktober!

Looks like we have a potential eight hour maintenance today for Retail WoW, so itās a good day to keep busy with other activities!
I came across some fact videos on alligator lizards, which I thought Iād share for the usual Saurok idea inspiration from the facts as well as potential scale color customization options. Videos are listed below.
General facts video:
General facts on alligator lizards and some other animals. Despite the title and the thumbnail, nothing bad actually happens and nobody is seriously harmed. Itās more of a āIāll put my finger here to show why they have that name!ā type of thing.
A video showing off some neat scale color patterns:
A short video showing off another scale color and pattern:
As usual, Iāll continue to look at more RL reptiles in the future for playable Saurok idea inspiration!

We now officially know when the Dragonflight prepatch officially launches, which is October 25th:
There will be phases of the prepatch, with Dracthyr Evokers being available to create on November 15th:
Iāll make another post in the near future regarding coverage of Dracthyr in here. As you know, I do look at reptilian races in general from various media for Saurok idea inspiration, and the good thing with Dracthyr is that there are some aspects about them that could be applied to Saurok, should we be lucky to ever see them playable.
Honestly, Iām excited to get out of Shadowlands and to make my Dracthyr characters. Iāll be very much looking forward to when Dragonflight launches!

Wonder why they decided to do it in two parts.

If I were to guess, it would be easier to implement some things in different parts and bug fix them between each part.
Weāll be getting a new talent system, HUD UI, and so on, and a new class and new starting area would likely be easier to implement once the new system goes live and gets some bug fixes beforehand. Granted, weāll likely run into some bugs still, but hopefully it wonāt be as bad as if everything came out at once. Plus people can focus on getting their charactersā talents situated and also make new characters of the new race/class combos coming out.
Hopefully it wonāt be too much of a headache to implement the prepatch stuff. Itāll be exciting to see the events as a lead-in to a new expansion!

Happy National Reptile Awareness Day!
Aside from bringing awareness of how awesome several reptilian races would be if made playable, National Reptile Awareness Day is to educate and bring awareness on the importance of reptiles in the world (of real life!).
As usual, I came across some videos to share and celebrate the occasion:
If youāre interested in seeing more videos, I posted some more in the Sethrak megathread. You can see them here, but make sure to give Sethrak some love too:
Hope all reptile fans have a fun day. Iāll keep hoping to see more reptiles on that character creation screen in the meantime!

Got an art piece to share of a Lizardfolk Druid! It was created by KeeperOfAges and was uploaded to DeviantArt on June 24th, 2017, complete with their backstory in the description section.
āDrez Blightclawā by KeeperofAges on DeviantArt
First off, itās a great example of a Lizardman race in caster gear. It helps to find things like this to imagine Saurok as caster classes, which I imagine they would be a few. Hoping for Warlock or a form of Necromancers, myself.
Second is the usual customization idea inspiration. Spikes, scale colors, scale pattern, eye color and shape, the usual. You canāt have enough of examples of Lizardmen customization ideas that could help inspire Saurok customization!
The third and final point of interest is bringing up Saurok Druids again. It has been discussed off an on, and while I donāt personally see it, an argument could be made. If we go with the whole hunt aspect of their culture idea, Saurok Druids could be beings who help keep the ecosystem in check and healthy so that prey can still be around and not die off or be low quality. No prey means no hunt, more or less.
As I said, I donāt really see Saurok Druids, but Iām not against them at all. Iām mostly just hoping for Warlocks and Death Knights for them, but the more options that can be reasonable, the better I say!

Halloween is in one week! 
I looked for some Halloween related treats with some reptilian theme to share, and the closest thing I could find are some fossil cookies. I mean, skeletons are a Halloween thing, right? Close enough! 
First is a recipe and method for creating some:
And a related video:
And some more videos on making other types of fossil cookies:
Iām sure there could be ways to make this more Halloween themed, but hopefully these videos can inspire others to experiment and see how theyād like to have their fossil cookies. Iāll keep an eye out for anything else to share that is Halloween and reptilian related.

Looks like weāre getting 10 more character slots per account in Retail WoW:
Iām pretty excited and very grateful for it, since Iāve been dangerously close to the character cap for awhile. This gives everyone some room for future new playable races and classes also, though I am tempted to make a few new characters from it with existing race/class combos.
I am curious if we could see more new character slots added in the future. As I said before and speaking only for myself, Iād happily pay for more character slots per account. In the meantime, itās good to see some new slots for those who were full up and wanted to make Dracthyr Evokers or some of the new race/class combos.
Maybe Iāll be able to have an army of Saurok alts someday, should they ever become playable. I can only hope!

Its so small but its a start!
Hope they expand it a lot more.
Or maybe at the least let us buy more slots.

I hope they expand it as well. It may very well be a possibility in the future, since Iām sure weāll get more new races and possibly new classes as expansions are made.
Given that it is a possibility for them to raise the cap in general, it gives me some hope of seeing more added per account in the future, which Iād be fine paying for to be honest. In the meantime, Iām grateful to have 10 new slots and am excited to plan out what to do with some of them.

We are now currently in phase 1 of the Dragonflight prepatch! It is mostly just UI changes, new talents, solo shuffle, and the new race/class combos.
It also appears that the character cap per account is up to 60, though some people have mentioned a possible problem with having 50 on one server and not being able to make more on the same server. A possible problem is that the cap per server wasnāt raised, though hopefully this will be fixed soon if not by now from the maintenance going on.
Phase 2 will begin November 15th, which is when the Elemental invasions occur, the new Uldaman dungeon opens up, and weāll be able to make our Dracthyr characters! The date seems both close and far away.
As mentioned before, Iāll be sharing some Dracthyr stuff here when theyāre available, including my characters. Anyone is welcome to share their Dracthyr characters here as well. They have so many customization options, itāll be neat to see what all people come up with and to see what could apply to playable Saurok if they ever get to become a playable race.
With the prepatch phases, Iāll keep an eye out for anything Saurok related to report, though Iām not expecting much if anything. Not many places for me to check for activity either, aside from Unāgoro Crater since it is part of the elemental invasion event. I still suspect that the zone will still be mostly time-locked to Cataclysm, but itās still worth a brief look just in case.
Dragonflight is still currently set to release November 28th, which Iām excited for. A complete contrast to Shadowlands, where I really was not feeling it and took a few days before I decided to jump into it. Granted, I am tempted to wait a day or so when Dragonflight launches just in case there are some bugs. Iāll likely still be farming for the Son of Galleon mount by then, which Iām getting close to 5,000 attemptsā¦sighā¦
And Halloween is fast approaching too! If anyone has any plans, I hope you have a fun, happy, and safe Halloween!

I came across the updated world (of Warcraft!) map that has Dragon Isles on it:
As you can see, Dragon Isles is in the top right of the map. I assume it was shrouded from anyone being able to see or land on it. Otherwise, Wrathionās search wouldāve been much shorter.
Still a lot of space on there for other continents for future expansions. There is a lot of space near Kalimdor, which is the most interesting part to me for somewhat obvious reasons. It can be in any direction, and I suppose the continent could be moved some to put new continents in between it and Eastern Kingdoms.
Since weāve seen Saurok travel off Pandaria to known continents and islands, there could be a chance we could come across a continent with them on. In such a case, Iām hoping that there is a more friendly tribe that has settled down the Horde could work with and maybe send an invitation of membership to. I mean, some we know of are friendly enough to hang out with others or āfriendlyā enough to work on a pirate crew, so anything is possible.
All we can really do is see where future expansions take us, but Iāll always keep hope of some kind!
Happy Sauroktober!

āWhatās west of Westerosā or in this case Kalimdor. I want to take a ship there 
Still think the Saurok should have been the next playable race! Grrr

Itās very possible we could see new continents to the west of Kalimdor or east of Eastern Kingdoms. Iām sure the map will be edited as needed as we come across unexplored areas in future expansions.
And I get the frustration with not seeing the race you want to see playable. Especially since it means a few years before we see what comes afterwards. On the bright side, I still feel inspired to march on in support for playable Horde Saurok. Especially since I donāt see Dracthyr as a replacement or compromise for them at all, which would be really silly.
I still dream of seeing Saurok on the Horde side of that character creation screen someday. Iāll keep at it as best as I can!

Happy Halloween everyone!
October really seemed to zoom by, didnāt it? Weāll be hitting the end of the year before we know it. Hopefully by next year, Iāll figure something out to do for Sauroktober in general.
To top off the end of Sauroktober, Iāll leave this Saurok who is working on their alchemy skill:
Whatever your plans are today, I hope you have a fun, happy, and safe Halloween!
