2.4.3 Update - Bear Mount, Gems for Arena Points
Looks like yesterday’s 2.4.3 patch notes were missing a few interesting additions, worthy of an update.
The following gems are now available for purchase for 800 arena points each:
- Gleaming Ornate Dawnstone
- Smooth Ornate Dawnstone
- Bold Ornate Ruby
- Runed Ornate Ruby
- Inscribed Ornate Topaz
- Potent Ornate Topaz
Whether they will be linked to the ones purchasable for honor points currently on live realms is unknown, but it seems they are not unique-equipped anymore. It’s actually not such a big deal like some think - those who do well in arenas will be buying gear first anyway, and 200-300g per epic gem is not much these days.
The Mexican (Don Carlos) who puzzled me while writing about Tier 7 armor sets is now located in the desert of Tanaris, and will give you a quest for Old Hillsbrad, rewarding you with a nice hat.
I first thought this might be the new polar bear mount Tigole mentioned awhile back, but the model and corresponding spell name is Summon Big Battle Bear, so I’m totally lost as to where we could get this from. Perhaps Haris Pilton sells it for … 10,000 gold?
Now the best part. Haris Pilton’s new line of bags and jewelry includes this amazing 22 slot bag for an even more amazing amount of (drumroll!) 1200 gold. Talk about yet another gold sink. I know I can afford it, and bag space is something which really annoys me, so I’ll probably get it.
