The Scroll of Resurrection Retires

The time has come to bid adieu to the Scroll of Resurrection. It’s served its divine purpose, but like most scrolls, it only has so many charges before it loses its magic and crumbles into ethereal dust. For those who’d still like a chance to use the scroll, you have until February 18 before players are no longer able to send invitations. For those who have an invitation outstanding, that’s still good for 30 days from the time it was sent, after which point the invitation will expire and the benefits can no longer be claimed.

    I don't think they will bring it back. given that with WOD you get a free 90 then that would make the scroll give an 80 or a 2nd 90. That would possibly cut into people buying 90's when that goes live.

    Meh. I was hoping the raised level 90 gear would be the gear they use when previewing your character when generating it...

    Can people actually generate 90s on the PTR yet?

    First of all, we haven't seen any models for the gear you'll get and you're jumping to conclusions on what it'll look like, and second of all if they DID use those models it would basically force anyone who wanted those models for transmog to buy a 90 even if they didn't want one...

    We have seen the gear. It's just the same model as the Pandaria greens.

    Possibly the day of, possibly a week or so after. Depends when they start preorders/prepurchases.

    It will be in the files and ready for use. It's just a matter of when they flip the switch. Nobody knows when that might be yet.

    I am glad they are doing more of the five point four zero (5.4.0), before they go to six point zero.

    Too bad about Scroll of Resurrection, but it was a awesome item in Warcraft III where you can bring back twelve units. Had its run though, and I never really used it to be honest.

    Hopefully Farsight is somewhat unlimited as it used to be. That is to say you cast it and from new POV you can cast it again. Loved it like that before. Hopefully it's the same or better now

    wonder how long the warrior warbringer nerf will last before they activate their qqstorm and it gets revered lets behonest the amout of stuns warriors have is rediclous. the also dont neeed cc immunity during beserker and ww. i really dont get the gel guard change tho.

    You can still do that, as can hunters with eagle eye. It just requires the right macro string. /cast !Farsight

    There's a limit to it. You can't go beyond certain point. I used to be able to go from Borean Tundra to Howling Fjord. Not anymore. I will try with "!".

    Update. Doesn't work. 1000y range. Not unlimited like it used to be. Gotta wait for PTR to come live to get what we once had.

    It's not a nerf. They just reverted previous change. It's same as on live now.

    I'm not sure I understand why scroll of res has to go. It's not a whine, I don't care about it, I just want to understand the business decision behind it as I don't see the benefit of stopping this service.

    edit: might be because of the paid 90, but I think these are totally different services.

    They don't. They're just immune to fear. They can be cc'd with EVERYTHING else..

    Hum... Did they say something about changing scroll of ress or is it just going away forever? Like a new model with new rewards? Because I have some mounts that I didn't claim.

    Hoping the removal of the SoR is due to a new return offer coming soon.

    I believe this is the stuff: http://ptr.wowhead.com/items?filter=...=483;maxle=483

    I'm not sure I did the filters right, but I think this covers it. "Springrain" is one boosted 90 set. "Felsoul" is another. You'd have to connect your own dots.

    Someone mentioned in an earlier post that you get the 483 greens on the boosted 90, and you'll automatically get the quest to go out to Timeless, so you can certainly run out there and grab the free purps for the instant upgrade and go from there.
