World Premiere: Skeletal Raptor Mount

Behold – the Skeletal Raptor mount! I was fortunate enough to be able to be the first brave adventurer to catch one of these beauties on film. Discovered by beta guildmate Melianna through Archaeology, this mount is sure to be on the top of everybody’s Cataclysm to-do list. Melianna first unlocked the journal entry for this mount at around 285 Archaeology skill and it took 100 fossil fragments to complete. Next stop, the Qiraj flyer!

Beta First Look: Archaeology

Cataclysm Beta Zone Preview: Vashj’ir

Cataclysm Beta zone Vashj'ir

Vashj’ir is one of the new 80+ questing zones being introduced into World of Warcraft’s latest expansion: Cataclysm. Much like Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord, Vashj’ir is paired with Mount Hyjal as one of two options you will have to begin your latest adventure. The zone is tuned for 78-81 level players which means those of you who will be jumping in right out of ICC will definitely breeze through the content – but don’t let that get in the way of your fun! Vashj’ir and Hyjal introduce us to the latest questing philosophy adopted by Blizzard, a system that has been refined yet again to an even higher standard. I have never been so immersed while playing WoW.
