Are we going to be sent the Carved Ethereal Crests that we lost? I have two characters where it didn’t award back the Carved Crests so I lost them downgrading them.

I noticed that yesterday and suspect its connected to that new Phase Diving. I’ve not found them annoying though. I rather liked the effects because they were not invasive but rather subtle on my screen.

Had they been invasive, I would agree with you. Probably a personal choice, however, it could also be an issue if someone’s video card tends to not handle that well enough to make it nuanced rather than in your face annoying.

That could be something the devs might want to add to the UI controls like they do for other effects that affect players negatively. What might work is to submit it as a suggestion in the in-game report option. Offering it up as a suggestion to add to the UI control so folks can opt out of seeing them might actually alert them to address it.

7

where is the quest to start K aresh?

8

should be automatic when you log in. Then, go to where the portal to SW is from dornogal

Wowhead has a decent write up about this new zone.

Check out the menu on the left side of that page for pointers. I actually got the beginning quest when I first logged in Tuesday and just followed it. There is an NPC in the Massive Hall behind where the delve headquarters is located in Dornogal. In that hall I do believe you will find an npc with the ? over their head. You will be able to follow him once you talk with him because he opens up a new portal there next to the SW portal.

That is how I got there. The best advice I can offer is once you start that, follow the entire Campaign quest without deviation because its a bit lengthy and at the end of it you will receive your cloak. The journey on this Campaign quest is really interesting. Once your first character completes this there is a bypass for your alts if you you don’t want to do it on them.

Note on this is they still have to do the initial quest they receive at that podium because when they return to turn that in, they are offered the option in the next quest provided to skip the next portion of the Campaign quest.

shame we have no way to still get season 2 gear. I wasn’t able to lvl my druid and get enough gear to get that transmog. I got the helm and that’s it. Also can’t get the color I wanted now.

I keep having to hard shutdown wOw since patch when questing. This is in SW, DMF, and dragonisles. Que times are ridiculous for RDF and levelling bgs now.

Aww, but why? I was looking forward to having the fight take 5-10 business days again next week. Maybe you should have had him fly to the adjoining island to make it even more fun… :roll_eyes:

Acerbic sarcasm aside, how did this fight ever make it past quality control!?
