With the pre-patch on the horizon that will allow players to create
Blood Elf and Draenei characters, players are already getting back into a
2007 mindset and breaking out game guides from the original release of
The Burning Crusade. Fel reavers, a new PvP meta, and the unique Outland
armor sets are all coming back in style – or rather, without any sense
of fashion at all.
Warriors in World of Warcraft Classic are notoriously difficult to level
up, but can put out top damage numbers in end-game raids and dungeons.
Many players flocked to the Warrior class when Classic was released to
be the best in the raid down the line.
When The Burning Crusade Classic comes out, though, Warriors fall all
the way to the bottom of the charts, with Warlocks taking the top
overall damage output instead. It should be no surprise min-maxing
players start anew as this casting class to stay on top.One particularly
rough part of questing in Outland is the drop rates of certain quest
items. While there wasn't a specific quest related to boar livers in
Hellfire Peninsula, there was the quest Demonic Contamination, which
asks the player to gather 6 Helboar blood samples. The drop rate on
these samples is... abysmal, to say the least.
In the Barrens, there is a similarly frustrating quest titled The
Zhevra, which tasks the player with finding 4 Zhevra hooves. Players
often spend hours decimating the Zhevra population for these hooves, and
some quests will feel eerily familiar in Outland.
In World of Warcraft Classic much of the armor the player acquires
throughout the game looks at least half-decent when worn with pieces
from differing sets. In Outland, though, it's a different story. Every
zone has its own unique, vibrant armor – and the stats might just force
the player to equip something downright ugly.
Ah yes, the Fel Reaver, destroyer of the unobservant and the big bad guy
to avoid when starting The Burning Crusade Classic. Players can hear
the Fel Reaver approaching from its signature metallic screech that
rings out across the landscape of Hellfire Peninsula as it gets closer,
and should keep an eye out at all times for its location.
While there hasn't been an official announcement as to when the
pre-patch for The Burning Crusade Classic will hit servers, players are
already foaming at the mouth for the chance to experience Azuremist Isle
and Eversong Woods all over again.
A short-term truce between the gnomes and goblins could have lead to
impressive feats of engineering – instead, their eyes are on the skies
with rockets and explosives at the ready. The quicker the Exodar falls,
the quicker players can start playing as a Draenei, right?
