Crypt-Crawlers are in the Tundra, I guess, guys, right outside the Valiance Keep?
Also what happens if I see an NPC guard already fighting when I go after the crawlers and join him (the guard, I mean)? That seems to happen a LOT outide the keep and I didn’t know if I could join in the battle or not?
Click on the monster. If its health is above 50%, you should get the credit for the kill if you join in. If it’s below 50%, it probably won’t credit you. I don’t think the NPC guards really care if you step in…they’re not going to get any quest credit anyway.
ETA: Crypt Crawlers are the medium-size purple bug things on the beach (and up in the fields around that town) just outside Valiance Keep. Crypt Lords are the BIG bug things.
I just abandoned a bunch of green and yellow-turned quests. This leaves me with Ezekiel in Shatt and two in Northrend.
I don’t know, man. I mean, I know that some of those abandoned quests I could now “ace” (the ones I could UNDERSTAND, anyway), but it just feels like a big ol’ MEH to go back and do them, plus you don’t get shit for XP, and the drops suck.
By the way, I STILL could never find that fucker’s bones in the “Cleansing The Waters” quest, and, even though I kept it on the list because it seemed like a “challenge” to me, that was one I abandoned tonight, too.
Y’all ever get like that?
So… I made the inn there in the Northrend Harbor (near Valiance Keep) my new home and I guess I’ll just run around or ride Silka the horse and leave Silka the gryph in her stall till I get to 77.
I have an 80 on another server. I’ve been assuming that the heirloom book isn’t BoA (which would let you send it to a character on another server (don’t even know how that would work)), so if it IS BoA I’ve been an idiot. But I don’t believe it is.
ETA: I CAN tell you that I will drop 1000g for that goddamn book however many times I have to so I can fly from Day 1 in Northrend on any alts that I get up that far on this server, though.
Remember, you can start flying at 60, so you can fly from 60 to 68, then when you go to Northrend you’re grounded until 77 if you don’t have an 80.
All I did was repeat your words. If you took hostility from that then perhaps you should think about the words you use.
Right now, you can only send BoA cross-faction, but not cross-server. If you have an Alliance 80 and a Horde lowbie on the same server, you can send heirlooms from the Alliance to the Horde, but you cannot, as yet, send mail from an 80 on one server to a lowbie on another.
Reminder: Burning Dog Legion dungeon run tonight, 8:45pm server (CT).
Since I’m not 66 yet (the minimum for Escape from Durnholde), we’ll use the random queue and run one of the earlier BC dungeons. Anyone in the 63-69 range is welcome to join us (priority to those who sign up in advance on the calendar).
I almost never bid. When I want an item, I want it NOW. The vague time remaining listed on the AHes also makes it hard to camp and snipe bids (presumably by design).
The book, like all heirlooms, **is **BoA. The term just doesn’t mean what you think it means. A BoA item **can **be used by any character on your account; there’s just currently no **free **mechanic to transfer a BoA item between realms. However, if you were to put the heirloom flying book in the inventory of a character on Server A (where your 80 is), and transfer that alt to Server B (where your currently 77 alt is), the character on Server B would have no problems using the book purchased on Server A.
When they made BoAs cross-faction-mailable, I immediately sent my Undead Mage the flying book and the heirloom shoulders–IMO, while $55 was too steep for some added convenience (when I would have also had to have done a faction xfer), just $25 was *totally *worth it.
Well, you’d need an 80 to get it in the first place, so Wolkie’s your best bet to be able to buy it at all right now. Note that you don’t have to buy it period if you’re mostly playing your main and don’t have a bunch of alts on that server…Cold-Weather Flying at 77 costs 1000g, too, so try to save up for that 6(?) levels you have left before you hit 77.
BoA = An item that binds to an account instead of to a specific character. Contrast with BoE (Binds on Equip, an item that will bind when used but will be unbound and tradeable until then) and BoP (Binds on Pickup, an item that will bind to the first character to put it in their inventory, regardless of whether or not they equip it).
An Heirloom item is a BoA item that can be purchased by a high-level character. There are currently four types of Heirloom items in the game: armor, trinkets, weapons, and the flying book. The stats on equippable Heirloom items scale with the level of the character wearing them, and Heirloom shoulder and chest armor each give a stacking XP bonus.
Basically, they’re a way for people with max-level or near-max-level characters to more easily equip and speed up the leveling of their alts.
ETA: Oh, and there’s also one Heirloom ring that you can get from the Northrend fishing tournament. Forgot about that one.
ETA2: PvE Heirlooms can be purchased with Emblems of Heroism (the old lowest tier of Wrath badges) or Seals of the Champion (obtained from Tournament dailies or ToC5); PvP Heirlooms can be purchased with Stone Keeper’s Shards (drop off of Northrend bosses when your faction controls Wintergrasp and given as rewards for WG weekly quests); the Heirloom flying book is purchased for the same gold cost as the standard Cold Weather Flying training; and the Heirloom ring is a reward from winning the Northrend fishing tournament, and as such is the only item that can be obtained without help by a lower-level character.
