Those Old World Blues, Part 2: Was It All For Nothing!?! :(


Last night, Voodoo Reborn took Onyxia by storm for what might be the very last time in her Old World version. She's getting a revamp to a level 80 version raid in Patch 3.2.2. It was all a hope that I could get the chapter of "Draconic For Dummies" that she possesses.

Well, we went in and ROFL Stomped her pretty easily. Not much the poor girl can do against eight level 80 miscreants like us...at least not yet. Dak went in to check the loots and get the chapter...and there was no chapter.

Then I read this from WoW Wiki:

* Note: These pieces are white items thus they are in the round-robin loot table and cannot be master-looted.

That means, for chapter 1, 6, 8 that require a raid, you have to ask the raid leader to change the loot rule to 'Free for all' or ask the owner of the corpse to check boss' corpse even if he doesn't have this quest. In the later case, if the owner logs off or HSs, this will make effort in vain. Before patch 2.3 you had to ask every single member of the raid to check the corpse in order to find out who'd be the owner, but now it's already possible to check this on the tooltip.

As well, page number 8 from Ragnaros has a time limit upon entering MC. The precise time is unknown, but it is relatively short, under two hours at least. If you are trying for the page, it is suggested to avoid as much trash as possible to maximize your available time for bosses.

Whatinthe... Fuckin' Hell, Blizzard! It's been what...four years since you guys put that quest out and you couldn't fix this shit? That's just sad! Now, unfortunately, I might not get my book chapter and I'll be sitting around wondering if the effort so far, the week of grinding sand and bugs, becoming a gnome with a red turban, was all for nothing. I sent a ticket to Blizzard reps and hopefully I can get reimbursed. Hopefully.

UPDATE: Blizzard reimbursed me for the item! Thank you for not making the trip a total waste of time Blizzard, I do appreciate that! :)
