Aha, yes. You get the Teleport and Portal for Theramore and Stonard at the same time, then back to the racial cities for the Portals.
I can vouch for this. On my Hunter, I goofed up and went to the Shadowmoon Valley flight trainer instead of the new Honor Hold one. The Shadowmoon Valley trainer does not have a faction, and I wound up paying the full 600g for Expert riding. :smack:
That doesn’t apply here, though–we’re talking about the proposed Goblin racial discount. So, the question is, for vendors who have no faction, would they still get a discount? My guess is that because there’s no faction, the mechanic isn’t there to give them the discount, but there’s no way to currently test that.
The page on “Space Jews” in TVTropes (not linked because maybe you have something else you want to do today) points out ways in which Goblins, Gnomes, and Dwarves all have stereotypically Jewish traits, if you look at them the right way.
Where/Whom do I visit to spend them on something and what is available to Wolkie at 43?
I checked WoW Wiki, and their example is only a level 80, yet I seem to remember being somewhere recently and being asked if I were sure I wanted to spend my honor points on a particular item?
Don’t forget the Man-Faced Tauren, aka, the Taunka (there was a quest chain in Northrend, after all, which made a big deal of admitting them into the Horde). Not that we’ve seen much of them after that, or that they’re all that different from Regular Tauren…
11 points isn’t going to be enough to buy any equipment with. Most things that only cost Honor instead of Honor + Marks of Honor from a BG (battleground) cost a couple thousand, if I recall correctly. And Honor Points are used to purchase gear that’s intended for use in PvP–that’s player versus player. It’s not going to be that useful to you out in the world, where you’re engaging in PvE–player versus environment, i.e., the computer-controlled mobs.
At your level the best place to buy PvP gear would be from the Quartermasters located outside the actual WSG and AB instance portals.
Warsong Gulch is located in Silverwing Grove, just to the west of the horde gate leading to Barrens and Arathi Basin is located at Refuge Point in the Highlands. You will need tokens from those BG’s in addition to the Honor Points.
You might also be allowed to purchase some items from the PvP Quarter Master in SW. Most of those items are for level 60, 70, 80 IIRC.
Yeah, they were supposedly bison-like. But (from a distance, at least) the males just look so weird, like they took a human’s face and stuck it on a Tauren head, or something. It took some close examination on my part to see that they were really going for “bison”.
Yeah, Blizz dropped the ball with Taunka - the male heads are very very poorly attached to Tauren bodies (if you look, you can easily see the seam), and the female models never got done at all (I remember it being discussed during WotLK beta). I guess they decided not to invest any more art team time in a limited-use model. Or something. I’m still a little disappointed they didn’t bother making them look “right”, considering most of the rest of Northrend is pretty well-done.
As far as the flatness of the male faces, I always felt like it was mostly a texture problem - they don’t have the proper shading to really look 3d. If you look at them from the side, the model “terrain” is there, but straight on, they just look like Halloween masks.
Well, I am now Azeroth’s version of Anthony Bourdain, I got my Chef title last night to go with my Explorer Title I got last month. 12 more recipes left for Chef de Cuisine and about 50 more Dalaran cooking awards for the Chef’s hat and then I can start my own show.
BC is necessary to get above lvl 60, period. You would be stuck at 60 as a level cap if you didn’t have BC. And you wouldn’t be able to install Wrath if you didn’t have BC, either. So it IS necessary in the general progression of the game. Also, they didn’t show Outland probably because it’s not going to be affected much by the Cataclysm. It’s not even the same planet as Azeroth.
And the new level cap is 85 because the 1-60 leveling areas in Old Azeroth are going to be thoroughly redesigned. The Cataclysm is going to change just about every zone in the old world dramatically, and the old leveling game is changing almost completely. They basically traded off a huge overhaul of the 1-60 leveling progression in exchange for those last 5 levels to round it out to 90.
