Episode #83: Everyone loves a good ghost story… especially in Azeroth.  Our journey brings us to the ancient halls of Blackrock Mountain and into Forgewright’s Tomb subzone @(20.6,28.8).  All explorers have the opportunity to visit a hidden NPC ghost, Franclorn Forgewright.  This forgotten, level 60 Dark Iron dwarf once played an important role as a quest giver related to the Blackrock Depths instance.  However, with the Cataclysm expansion, Franclorn Forgewright no longer provides ‘The Dark Iron Legacy’ quest.  What makes Forgewright special is that he remains one of the few game NPCs that can only be seen by players if they are also dead.  Once the visiting adventurer is in ghost form, the shadowy image of this legendary dwarf can be found standing atop his stone tomb.  Although his quest is now obsolete, Forgewright’s crafting legacy lives on in the still-obtainable one-handed mace ‘Ironfoe’.  This ancient mace grants its wielder two strikes per swing and the special ability to speak dwarvish for a short time.  The ghost of Franclorn Forgewright – and learning the legacy of his architecture, crafting, and the existence of weapons attributed to him – is something worth revisiting.

Episode #81: While exploring the northern coastlines of the Kun-Lai Summit zone, explorers should look skyward to catch sight of a wandering NPC named Lon’li Guju.  This level 88, flying giant sea tortoise is friendly to both factions.  The angelic-winged Lon’li Guju is a special in-game memorial to Lonesome George, the last of his subspecies of tortoise.  Although Lonesome George died on June 24, 2012; he now lives on forever in Pandaria.  All players who befriend Lon’li Guju by issuing a affectionate emote (/love /wave /hug) will trigger a secret event to occur… because of the player’s show of kindness, this solitary tortoise will follow the player throughout Pandaria for a short while.  A memorial like Lon’li Guju not only brings a warm smile to any lost adventurer, but he also stands as a noble reminder of the wise quote: “the way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost”.

Episode #80: Nested high in one of the isolated mountain regions of Pandaria, explorers can discover a noteworthy subzone called The Secret Aerie.  Although accessible with a flying mount, game designers created a way for lost adventurers to make the beautiful journey into this hidden area entirely by foot.  The Secret Aerie is home to various Pandaran Hawktrainer NPCs, each titled as ‘People of the Sky’.  Various named NPCs have appeared in recent patches, however no known quests of achievements are associated with them.  All hunters should take note of the lesser known, tamable Training Hawk (birds of prey) that are being trained by the People of the Sky.  A highlight for explorers to this region is the interaction with Hawkmaster Liu, an interesting NPC who has unique voice acting &amp; will respond to characters differently based on their questing experience with the Shado-Pan in Townlong.

Episode #79: Inside the Shado-Pan Monastery 5-man instance, a mysterious graveyard conceals the location of 2 invisible NPCs, a stone shrine, and a hidden spell buff.  Found on a southwestern-central mountain cliff at coordinates (46,65), the instanced Shado-Pan Monastery hides an ornately-decorated Pandaran graveyard.  Explorers to this far-removed area can discover two “Shado-Pan Assassin” NPCs, named Hakka and Jae Kuen.  In addition, visitors will find a solitary shrine with a bizarre, swirling light called “Unseen Force”.  By clicking on the Unseen Force Shrine, players will be given a hidden buff (Unerring Blades) that grants +90% to Hit.  As the Mists of Pandaria expansion ends, most players in game today will never know that these unique features can be found here… making your opportunity to see it for yourself truly ‘less traveled’, indeed.

Episode #78: Off the coast of the Dreadwastes zone, an enormous NPC, named Gokk’lok, conceals a secret.  This neutral, elite rare clam is found in the subzone titled the Gokk’lok Shallows at coordinates (27, 16).  Although Gokk’lok shows no signs of aggression, any adventurer who attempts to attack this creature will need to defend off several waves of lvl 90 protectors.  Once defeated, Gokk’lok presents a hidden quest called Promises of Gold.  Unlike other quest reward items, this special vanity item – Gokk’lok’s Shell – contains unlimited charges.  This bind on pickup item will cause a 2-minute buff that does two interesting things: 1) A giant clam shell materializes around your character, 2) While inside this shell, your toon appears *without* any of your clothes.  The Gokk’lok Shell may be one of Pandaria’s most interesting (and conversation starting) items to ever appear in game.

Episode #77: Tales of wicked seduction exist in the lands of Azeroth.  With each expansion in WoW, various Steamy Romance Novels have been introduced for players to find.  With a total of 7 different volumes in all, the Steamy Romance Novels are readable, gray-quality books with very… um.. risque topics.  For many years, most novels were only obtainable through pickpocketing certain high-level mobs.  For this reason, these lesser-known items were rarely seen by players outside of rogues.  This all changed with Mists of Pandaria!  At appears that a certain rare elite NPC has become a big fan of the Steamy Romance Novels.  Explorers can find a lvl 86 gnoll NPC, named Martar the Not-So-Smart, in north-eastern Jade Forest @(56.7, 33.1). When defeated, Martar has a chance to drop 1 of 6 Steamy Romance Novels.  Adventurers who wish to complete their book collection must find help from an engineer to create a Blingtron 4000.  The seventh novel, I’m In Love With a Robot, can only be found as a quest reward from Blingtron.  The best part of collecting these once hard-to-find books is reading them for yourself… each offering a new perspective of their title character, Marcus.

Episode #76: On a small island (coordinates 18,70), off the southwestern coast of Krasarang Wilds, a mighty guardian NPC elite named Cro’akan protects the defenseless critters that live upon the island.  Located west of the Cradle of Chi-Ji, this island is empty of quests, NPCs, or known achievements.  However, this emerald island is populated by over 75 frog critters… allowing any lost adventurer to understand this destination’s unofficial name: Frog Island.  Multiple small wooden signs are posted around Frog Island’s shoreline.  Each sign depicts a drawing of an ominous-looking frog diving down into the water.  Previous visitors to it’s shores may have attempted to warn all travelers to beware of disturbing the peaceful critter population living here.  The three varieties of frog critters – Krasarang Frogs, Krasarang Tideskirters, Krasarang Croakers – all share the same respawn pool.  Due to the quick &amp; nearly-immediate respawn nature of these frogs, this destination provides the ideal place to earn the guild achievement, Critter Kill Squad.  But beware!

With a vendor price of 15g, the flavor text of the Stack of Papers offers the lost adventurer a puzzle to explain the scene: “It looks like a journal of some kind. The last entry: ‘05151212:01 SYSTEM FAILURE’. What could it mean?”.  This unique item may be a combination of fun references to the Diablo 3 launch failures from May 15, 2012 AND the log printout message from the TV series Lost.

Warcraft Less Traveled #75 – Krasarang Wilds Stack of Papers

Episode #74: Over the years, Azeroth fisherman have reeled in a great number of interesting items… mostly trash, yet sometimes treasure.  The crowning jewel for any angler is the incredibly elusive, ultra-rare item called The 5 Ring.  This ring follows in a line of similar fishing-only discoveries: The 1 Ring and The 2 Ring.  The 5 Ring can only be obtained as a reward from the Dalaran fishing dailies (Marcia Chase).  Amazingly rare, The 5 Ring will only appear 3%-4% of the time inside a Tiny Titanium Lockbox, that only appears inside the Bag of Fishing Treasures 0.2% of the time. My friends, get comfortable.  If you choose to try your luck at obtaining The 5 Ring, chances of getting it are as good as 1 in 46 years. Protip: Pack a hearty lunch… it may be awhile.

Warcraft Less Traveled #53 – Whispering Forest Mysteries

Episode #63 Timecapsule: Above the present-day Undercity, the Ruins of Lordaeron have preserved its tragic history for all to discover. Years earlier, a corrupted Arthas returned home to murder his father, King Terenas.  Instead of being their hero, upon his return, the celebration presented by the Lordaeron citizens was turned to sorrow.  Explorers of the Ruins of Lordaeron can hear the hidden sounds of the day Arthas betrayed the Kingdom.  By listening very closely to the ambient sounds, visitors here can hear haunting sound files.  In the abandoned bell tower, the bell sounds can be faintly heard.  In the empty walkway leading to the throne room: the cheering crowd welcomes Arthas.  Yet, in the throne room, explorers will find the echoes of the final confrontation between father and son.

Warcraft Less Traveled #63 – Echoes Of Lordaeron

Episode #60 Timecapsule: A bizarre destination is hidden high in the hills of northern Nagrand.  Found at coordinates (51,14), the Nagrand Orphanage is home to an NPC troll named Challe.  Visitors to this remote vista will discover that Challe is watching over a great number of babies from both factions – orc, night elf, troll, and tauren.  The camp is setup with a furnished troll house, large sandbox, and a unique circular-swing (currently occupied by riding tauren infants).  A closer look at this cheery haven for children may reveal a darker underbelly… small bones scattered around the camp, a large cooking stew, and various cages containing tiny childlike skeletons inside.

Warcraft Less Traveled #60 – Nagrand Orphanage

Episode #61 Timecapsule: A pair of solitary destinations can be easily overlooked in the beautiful zone of Nagrand.  High up on one of its floating islands, a lone apple tree and skeleton are often considered a “Blizzard tribute” to Sir Isaac Newton.  Requiring a flying mount (found southwest of the Throne of Elements), the Newton Apple Tree was one of the last-discovered secret places in all of the Outlands.  The Nagrand Tomb is a second scene that fills the WoW explorer with a sense of wonder.  This tranquil location has no known backstory in the existing Warcraft lore, yet its remote location in the far western mountains will reward the visitor with a stunning view.

Warcraft Less Traveled #62 – Message In A Bottle

Episode #52 Timecapsule: The subzone of Whispering Forest, in the Tirisfal Glades zone, holds a mysterious destination and in-game event.  A strange ring of glowing mushrooms can be found on the forest floor at coordinates @(17,68).  At this location, seven Fey-Drunk Darters (Faerie Dragons) occasionally appear outside the ring of mushrooms.  Patient explorers are given a special surprise event by the Faerie Dragons if they watch long enough.  Approximately every 6 hours, the Fey Darter Dragons face into the center of the mushroom ring and begin projecting a magical golden light of magic (or song) into the center.  In the center of the mushroom ring, an NPC appears called the Faerie Circle.  The in-game music changes to a unique song that is heard nowhere else in Azeroth.  As the music plays, golden musical ‘notes’ appear over the heads of each of the Faerie Dragons… almost as if the Faerie Dragons were singing the song.  The special Faerie event here ends in 3 minutes time – the Faerie Circle disappears, the Fey-Drunk Darters vanish, and the music fades away.  At the time of this recording, there is no known reason or in-game lore tie to explain this amazing event. Fey-Drunk Darter Music Event (Faerie Dragon Song)  Location: Tirisfal Glade zone coordinates (17, 68); Whispering Forest subzone  NPCs: – Faerie Circle (51966), – Fey-Drunk Darter ‘Faerie Dragon’ (51963), – Tirisfal Stag (51961), – Tirisfal Doe (51964), – Tirisfal Fawn (51965).   Event Spawn Timers: – Faerie Circle music event occurs approximately every 5-6 hours. – Tirisfal Stag/Doe/Fawn spawn &amp; despawn continuously, yet all disappear for 15 minutes after the event completes. – The Faerie Circle can be targeted at all times (even though invisible) by using the command /target Faerie Circle.  Faerie Circle only is ‘visible’ during the event. – Approximately 2 hours before the event, the Fey-Drunk Darters spawn one at a time every 2 to 15 minutes.  After the first Darter appears, all seven appear within 40 minutes.    Music: – The in-game music during the Faerie Circle event is titled as “Faerie Dragon“.  It can be played at any time within WoW by typing in the following text into the command/chat line in-game: /script PlaySoundFile(“Sound\\Music\\Cataclysm\\MUS_41_faeriedragon_UE01.mp3″) Images: – Faerie Circle Mushroom Ring Before the Event, – Faerie Circle Event In Progress #1, – Faerie Circle Event In Progress #2, – Faerie Dragon (Fey-Drunk Darter) Singing, – Faerie Circle Event Ended, – Enchanted Tirisfal Stag Video of Event: – Video Capture by Event Plazma  Listen to the Podcast Episode:    [ Direct MP3 Download ]  [ iTunes Feed ]  [ Subscribe to the RSS Feed! ]

Warcraft Less Traveled #52 – Whispering Forest’s Faerie Dragon Song

Episode #51 Timecapsule: The Northrend zone of Grizzly Hills is rich in beauty and design.  Two hidden, interesting scenes can be found deep in this rustic forest.   The first curious thing explorers can discover is the Azeroth version of the popular story of “Bambi”.   Near the Alliance Brigade Encampment, a group of forest friends patrols a small clearing – including a young fawn named Bambina.  Visitors to this area of the Grizzly Hills will get the opportunity to witness Bambina avenge the death of its mother.  In addition, a second lesser known NPC is Hugh Glass.  This human hunter was placed in game by Blizzard designers to represents the real-life, 19th century pioneer of the same name.  Found here with his pet grizzly bear, Griselda, he is the only vendor in all of Azeroth that sells the unique item, Silvercoat Stag Meat.  Amazing artwork design for the Warcraft Less Traveled website by the generous talents of Nevik James!

Episode #48 Timecapsule: Introduced in a recent patch, Stendel’s Bane is a very rare catfish found in the zone of Westfall.  Swallowed by this giant fish, two possible rewards found inside Stendel’s Bane are the Aquadynamic Fish Lens and Reinforced Fishing Line.  This catfish is the only remaining place that these two rewards can be obtained in game today.  However, the truly unique find here at Stendel Pond is the very low percentage chance that inside the belly of the catfish, fishermen can loot a ring called Stendel’s Wedding Band.  It appears that years ago, this bloated catfish swallowed Stendel’s wedding ring and became the bane of poor Stendel ever since.
