Today I Learned In WoW

Here’s a new thread idea.

Write something absolutely Mindblowing which you Learnt Today whilst playing WoW.

I’ll start:

TIL, that you can complete the Pet Battle World Quests with Level 1 Pets, making the NPC Pet scale to your pets level, making thing much easier than doing them with Level 25s.

How I never knew this, I have no idea.

A friend and I were running Emerald Nightmare for mogs a few days ago. My friend pointed out the dinosaur in the tainted Un’goro Crater. I looked and saw the name was Bo’lan the Marked.
Took me moment (and a wee bit of a hint) that this was a T Rex so a reference to Marc Bolan the singer…

Makes me think if there might be more stuff in Wow I’ve forgotten about.
Clown shall investigate

Wasn’t that Black Sabbath? Perhaps they both had one.

There is a James Brown reference in Forge of Souls (he being the Godfather of Soul).

Probably both. But I’ve yet to check it, saw it like a day ago and didn’t have enough free time :frowning_with_open_mouth:

When you talk to an innkeeper to set your hearth, not only does it save where you are standing but also the way your character faces.
