    Trivia with the Timewalkers!

    Not sure how much traction this will get, but I figured it was something I really enjoyed as a fan of the lore. Blizzard added in a daily on the Timeless Isle where essentially you're asked a lore question. Mists of Pandaria is essentially the first expansion where Blizzard has added store just for story sake, and not gameplay. And its something I absolutely love. Here is a look at it:



    Was contemplating uploading more of the questions, but you can find them online.

    Yeahhhh! Lore for lore sake. Which is fantastic.

    I just wish they'd have like 3-5 questions per daily instead of 1.

    Awesome! Though it's too bad it's only 1 question a day..

    Also the NPC is called after Blizzards very own "master lore person" I believe. The other NPC's around there are also "historians" I think.

    Yes, cause rushing lore and skipping over the story to get to the conclusion is exactly what this daily is about xD

    I love that they put this in. I had a question about a quest mob name, forgot which one it was. I had to cheat and look it up cause there were 2 virtually the same answers that were what I thought it was.

    Its just funny how her description of the quest has nothing to do with "Answer this lore question" is all :P

    I'd like this quest to be in every future daily hub, updated each patch with a few more questions. Although some of the questions ask minor wiki information that won't make people more interested in learning lore.

    great quest, looking forward to it and a nice video too, thanks for those.

    You'd get too many repetitive questions after doing them dailies for weeks in that case. :/

    There are 10+ books, 4 full-length games, not even counting WoW, and 4 expansions now.

    They could easily find enough questions.

    Added another video with some questions:

    pretty sure there was a question quest like that before.. a long chain that started in thousand needles back in vanilla, it had you go to sm, do various trials, grab some books and at the end there was a lore question and the answer was ner'zhul or kel'thuzad i forgot... quest is gone since cata of course.

    Hmm...I've played since Vanilla and don't remember that.

    Ah, cool. Since I couldn't make an alt of another faction on the same server, I never got a Hordie alt in Vanilla that high :P
