Patch 5.1 PTR: New Gryphon and Wyvern Models

The dataminers have been extremely busy on the PTR lately, extracting all sorts of exciting items and features from the latest build. Among those, new Gryphon and Wyvern mounts have been datamined, as displayed in the video above.

It appears from the video that all the models of the basic faction mounts will be updated with patch 5.1, with these new models replacing the basic wyvern and gryphon, the swift wyvern and gryphon. There is also a new mount variety being introduced: the Grand Armored Gryphon and the Grand Armored Wyvern. These are the heavily armored models in the video, and require artisan riding.

Inevitably, there will be players who prefer the old models, so it will be interesting to see if they are just replaced, or kept around somehow for those players' delectation. It's really exciting to see that Blizzard is working on these models, as it bodes well for other model updates including, if we dare to dream it, character models!

Of course, character models, with the vast variety of animations and clothing and the like will take far longer to complete than a few wyverns and gryphons. But nonetheless, any model updates are usually welcome!

Patch 5.1 adds new music tracks for Alliance, Horde

It's no secret that I love the music of Mists of Pandaria. But there's a part of me that missed the old themes and recognizable strains of the Alliance and Horde themes scattered about the old world. In patch 5.1, the Alliance and Horde will officially make their appearance on Pandaria's shores, bringing the conflict straight to the pandaren along with new scenarios, and new music.

Wowhead dug up some of the tracks from the PTR and put them together in a video that's a little over 45 minutes long. Despite the length, it's well worth the listen, as the glorious sounds of Alliance anthems are brought back to life, as well as a darker, more haunting set of refrains for the Horde. Included too are tracks titled "Jaina's Homeland," which are recognizable variations of the Dalaran themes from Wrath of the Lich King.

And if you'd like a little twisted fun, there's a track at the end for the new Darkmoon Faire carousel coming with the next patch, too. It's got that sweet yet slightly off feeling of any good track from a Burton movie. I love the music for Warcraft, and I love that we're getting so many music updates right along with patch updates. I hope we'll be able to purchase these pieces on a secondary soundtrack at some point!

How To Use A World Of Warcraft Patch To Increase Your Gold

If you are new to World of Warcraft, or "WoW", you have probably seen the updates and patches that occur within the game on occasion. The World of Warcraft patch is nothing more than a simple upgrade that occurs among all servers that host this game. Prior to the implementation of these patches, Blizzard Entertainment will release what is called "Patch Notes".

You may not realize it, especially if you are new to the game, but you can actually use a World of Warcraft patch to increase your gold! As a new WoW player, it is essential that you develop strategies and techniques to increase the amount of in-game money that you have. This in-game money allows you to buy armor, weapons, and other materials that are necessary to ensure that your character is top notch. Here, you will learn the secrets on how to use a World of Warcraft patch to increase your gold!

As mentioned previously, prior to a patch being integrated into the WoW game, Blizzard Entertainment will send out notes on the upgrade. Within these notes, you can discover some extremely valuable information. First, you can get the "heads up" on what kind of new changes will take place once the patch has been put into place. You can also discover information on creatures that will experience new statistics, what kinds of "loot", or items that creatures drop, will be decreased and increased, and many other important key points. It is important to pay special attention to items that will be dropped less frequently. Once the World of Warcraft patch has been integrated into the game, these items will quickly increase in demand due to the fact that the general supply is low. If you want to increase your in-game money, you must use this tidbit of knowledge to your advantage.

If you are in search of information on how to use a World of Warcraft patch to increase your gold, the secret is this: Once you identify loot within the patch notes that will be decreased in the game, start to diligently farm for this item or items. You should try to gather up as much of the loot that is named in the patch notes as possible. Once the patch is integrated and in place, WoW players will be searching the in-game Auction Houses for these items.

They will search the Auction Houses because it will be difficult to get the creatures to drop the item(s) that they are searching for. As a direct result, you can place these items up for auction and actually charge a pretty decent rate due to the fact that it is hard to find that item! You could quickly go from one silver to fifty gold if you play your loot right by using information from a World of Warcraft patch!

As you can see, as a new player to WoW, you can quickly accumulate a lot of in-game gold if you implement the use of the information of an upcoming World of Warcraft patch. There are a number of seasoned WoW players that do not even use this information in this manner. By taking all the notes that accompany a patch that will be implemented, you have a huge advantage when it comes to increasing your financial status within the game!

Mike Bunyan has written articles on World of Warcraft gold and the many World of Warcraft mods which are available, as well as a number of World of Warcraft guides.

Patch 5.0.4 has been released and... chaos!

Now taking into account that I'm lost with all the changes that have made Blizzard, patch 5.0.4 has landed and will probably make things more confusing, hehe.

It seems that this is the new Blizzard Downloader...

I thought that it would take long time (up to 1 hr!) because things moved slowly, but it later changed to a download bar and it goes pretty fast.

Almost there!

At this time it is almost finished.

Oh, and it would seem that SoR of my bro has fixed, what things you get shoot soon...

I am a Mac and PlayStation ® 3, iOS gamer.

He used to play World of Warcraft as evil Gahlok'Ganis (2004-2009). This Web site was one of the first WoW Blogs which came out and opened near the end of closed Beta.

The information was all here until something happened a couple of months ago.

Recently has become and became bad ' Ganis to Thunderlord.
