ElunesGracePodcast #9: Mana Tombs, Old Hillsbrad and level 69!

News:

  • Can't wait for the upcoming content patch! There will be new flight paths, new darkmoon cards for trinkets and two new graveyards will be added to Blade's Edge Mountains.
  • Many flight paths will be adjusted to be shorter and faster. WOOT!
  • BlizzCon #2 is happening at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California August 3 and 4. Tickets will go on sale in the next few months at a price of $100.00 USD per person. As the event draws closer, further details will be announced. Go to the official BlizzCon website for more information.
Mana Tombs:
  • Located in Auchindoun (Bone Wastes, Terokkar Forest).
  • A 3 boss instance: Pandemonius, Tavarok and Nexus-Prince Shaffer
  • Crowd control is essential. You can also mine ore and pick herbs.

Old Hillsbrad:

  • Located in Tanaris in the Caverns of Time. You go back in history to rescue Thrall the Orc leader from Durnholde Keep.
  • Thrall runs not walks, so after each fight he keeps going. So drink or eat up fast as you need to keep moving.
  • 3 bosses: Lieutenant Drake, Captain Skarloc and Epoch Hunter (dragon)

Both instances take less than two hours - very nice!!
