Apexis Crystal Bonus Event August 21 – 24

During the Sign of Apexis bonus event, you'll gain bonus Apexis Crystals from eligible creatures. Furthermore, completing the this-bonus event-only quest "The Time to Strike" awards a sizable amount of Oil to fuel your Naval Missions, in addition to a big pile of Apexis Crystals.

The point of picking up lots and lots of extra Apexis Crystals is, of course, to spend them! Here are some of the possibilities.

For most players, spending Apexis Crystals on gear upgrades is a great way to improve your overall item level. There's something for every slot at item level 650, so if you've still got a low-level item in one or two slots, you're covered. Visit Ravenspeaker Thelnaas in Tanaan Jungle to buy armor for 5,000 Crystals apiece, a weapon for 10,000 Crystals, and Empowered Apexis Fragments for 20,000 Crystals. Empowered Apexis Fragment are Battle.net Account-bound, and upgrade your Baleful gear from ilvl 650 to ilvl 695.

Some nice new collectibles came along with Tanaan Jungle. You'll want to consider:

• Reins of the Corrupted Dreadwing mount (150,000 Apexis Crystals)
• Rukhmar's Sacred Memory toy (50,000 Apexis Crystals)
• Blazing Firehawk pet (2,000 Apexis Crystals)
• Solar Priest Vayx follower (1,000 Apexis Crystals)

The bonus weekend is underway, and runs through the end of the day on Monday, August 24.

What are you aiming to buy with your extra crystals?

Grove Warden Mount
I really hope you're conscious that seeing this mount in the store freaks everyone out concerning legion rep rewards
I'd heard similar feedback before but it was pronounced this time, thanks! I get you. (Muffinus)

Ghostcrawler Tweets
Ghostcrawler still occasionally talks about WoW. Remember that he no longer works for or speaks for Blizzard.

Story
As a games designer, do you ever think you would let us, the heroes loose in an expansion!? we cant always win surely
As a narrative device I think this is fun but you have to sell "won every battle but lost the war." (OccupyGStreet)
Because it likely won't be fun for the player to just lose every fight. They still need to win a lot for a sense of satisfaction. (OccupyGStreet)
Consider Empire Strikes Back: the retreat from Hoth (spoiler) was a victory but not a victory like driving the Empire back. (OccupyGStreet)

Poll - Corrupted Dreadwing Mount
Roughly 9% of players active since June 1st already have the mount.

Final Boss #92 - Agility DPS
Last week Final Boss talked to some Agility DPS players to see what has changed recently.

So it has been proven: Blizzard does not hate Canada.

I'm not sure what you mean. it was always 150k on live.

It has never been 500k Apexis on the live servers.

I knew they were going to use those stupid reindeer animations for the moose. Can't say I'm very keen for my characters to rock back and forth as if they're on a rocking horse.

This just in, Illidari faction would reward you with a boar mount once you reach exalted. And 4 other factions with different color.

No no no no no no NO!

We are going to have amazing, properly themed reputation mounts that have decent ways to get them, and no two reps give the same kind of mount! ....I hope....or there is no end game for me xD

In response to that moose video.

"That was majestic ^_^"

Who doesn't have the Corrupted Dreadwing Mount? I'm practically drowning in Apexis Crystals without specifically farming them.

[DiNett]

Fuck you blizzard shop. Fucking pieces of shit. I paid for this fucking retarded game in full for 8 years why the fuck can't I get unique mount with in-game resources. FFucking pieces of shit.

Wise words - I did the same for 10 years and ask the same question.

Because it´s moose!

Is this what the 13€ a month goes to? The 'priviledge' of being able to buy a 20€ in-game mount?

Agree. I mean, idiotic mounts like a flying refridgerator in shop, fine. Niche product. Moose? Everyone's been wanting that since forever, and now we have to get it through a shop. They better release a non-glowy version as a rep mount in Legion, although you'd almost expect that with the new tauren tribe being half mooses themselves.

[jdbond]

I think it is not Moose that is the problem, it's the fact that Moose is actually an in game model from Legion. If they were designing unique mounts for store while giving players appropriate rep mounts in game, this wouldn't matter. But now they have taken away in game models and started selling them in store while awarding players re-skin models of old mounts from previous expansions with no logical connection to a faction. They did it with WoD big time and first store mounts we see from Legion are in game animals. This company is literally banking on dumbest or craziest fans to keep them floating. When Tom Chilton said Legion might be released after the movie, he wasn't talking about delays due to production. We are going to get another WoD. Since WoD has burned many, it will be hard to sell same crap to same people again. Hence the movie gambit.

I think this one will easily cost €25

[odinslayer]
