Video - Making The Lich King Armor for Blizzard
Tested has a nice video showing some of how they created the Lich King armor for the Knights of the Frozen Throne events.

Toy Box - Spooky Toys
Today we are taking a look at three different spooky toys and how to obtain them. Obtain 300 toys and you’ll receive the Mechanized Lumber Extractor mount, which is very similar to the Sky Golem.

Kalytha’s Haunted Locket
If you’re interested in playing as a ghostly female night elf, Kalytha's Haunted Locket is for you!

• Features a 30 minute duration and only a 15 minute cooldown, making it one of the few toys that will allow you to chain transformations and stay disguised for as long as you’d like!
• Transformation isn’t broken by combat or mounting, and your character can still show off its awesome Artifact appearance.

As long as you have the Flight Master’s License, obtaining Kalytha’s Haunted Locket is quite simple!

• Head out to Azshara and find Tex Vortacoil, a goblin vendor located inside Archmage Xylem’s tower.
• He'll sell you Kalytha's Haunted Locket for 5,000 gold.

Death’s Door Charm
If you’d rather be a ghostly version of your own character’s appearance, the Death's Door Charm is the perfect choice.

• This transformation has a 30 minute duration, and the Charm’s cooldown is 1 hour.
• Requires Revered reputation with Legion’s Valarjar faction.
• Once Revered, simply head over to Valdemar Stormseeker, the Valarjar Emissary located at Valdisdall in Stormheim to purchase the Charm for 425 gold.

Haunting Memento
If you’re in the market for something a bit more unpredictable, the Haunting Memento is a fun little toy that can be used to “haunt” yourself or another player.

• The Haunting Memento can be purchased from Chester on Darkmoon Island at a cost of 90 Darkmoon Prize Ticket.
• Every three minutes, the afflicted player will fall victim to a haunting effect.
• There are over ten different Haunted effects, including:
  
  • The sky turns into a ghostly blue stream of souls
  • The player is swarmed by giant spiders
  • The player is transformed into a skeleton or hideous beast

What was the problem with LoD and Aura of Mercy before???

[Socialhealer]

Let us never have "hard" dungeons in this game. My god

issue is mythic plus, you get CoEN, RIP your key no-one wants that shit.

people don't mind hard but they want a reward worthy of the difficulty and effort, and a mythic+16 HoV vs mythic+16 CoEN is a world of difference for the same reward?

also these abilities we're probably limiting high end mythic+ progress by 1 shotting players, if you check wowprogress most dungeons are peaking around 22-23 cleared, while these are at 20, all reward the same AP same ilvl of loot, so they should be around the same difficulty.

It didn't actually work at all, any healing done with light of dawn wouldn't be shared at all.

Oh. I run AoM and never noticed, though I only started healing a few days ago for the first time since Cata so i probably just assumed it was how it was meant to be! Good news. More healing.

[kamuimac]

lol blizzard tuning - i bet they will nerf this shit 5 more times before people start doin it .

[Deleted]

Important note for Kalytha’s Haunted Locket, if one of your artifact quests (for a DK it does for sure) include the one at the same mage tower, the NPC disppears for that character, so you have to fly there with another toon. Quite lame.

[Utigarde]

If only Arthas looked like that in Heroes. Shame that they made Frostmourne better IRL than in their games.

[Uncle]

And how about nerfing the so much overtuned Arms spec? It's overpowered 4P and it's legendary who is in fact a hidden 6P designed to gave an unfair advantage to the spec?

[h4rr0d]

It was fairly doable after the last round of nerfs.

[Deleted]

Five or six more nerfs to cathedral and maybe people will go to that shit show

[Osmeric]

I think his point was that so many have written the place off that nerfing it to what it should have been won't be enough. I'm not sure anything will be enough at this point.

[coprax]

Why do they keep nerfing CoEN? It had a nice difficulty when it came out. It's a mid content patch instance, it's supposed to be more difficult than the starter instances. That's how it has always been.

(Well I know the answer btw, it's m+, meaning all instances from now on have to be equally challenging, or easy, no matter if they releases months after and drop higher gear. What a stupid system)

[Meebo]

Nice to see Toy spotlights. Need more.

[Osmeric]

Why do they keep nerfing CoEN?

Probably because their internal stats on how often it was being run told them they had massively screwed up?

[tenchibr]

I'm gonna be that guy and say that having an NPC named Chester selling a Haunting Memento is really eerie.

CoEN+10 has the same difficult as Anything_else+15? more or less I'd say

yep definitly had nothin todo with the fact you needed 2 healers at last boss or tanks gettin 1shot first boss

i swear people complainin bout nerfs probably havent done any mythic+ on 10 or higher

It's a recurring theme this expansion.

[Puffycheeks]

That video is so dope.
