A 5 badge of justice Heroic Mechanar run is still possible. Here's how it works:

You can in fact get 2 badges from the cache of the legion.

Firstly grab your team of 5 and go into Normal Mech. Clear the first mini boss on the right (should take all of 5 minutes) and grab the red half of the key.

Go into Heroic Mech, and go left, and clear the second mini boss. You will get the blue key off him. You can then join the red you have from normal, with the heroic blue to make the cache of the legion key.

Clear down to the cache and loot your badges, BUT LEAVE the blue item in there.
The blue item stops the cache from despawning.

Now head back to the start, and clear right. Once the miniboss is down he drops the red key (keep this in your backpack to repeat the trick on your next heroic mech run). Once that miniboss is down head back to the cache (you can do so before or after the first real boss), and you will find another badge has appeared.

Roll on the blue and head on up.

So the total badges are:
Mechano Lord x 1
Cache x 2
Fiery bitch x 1
Pantys x 1

In summary the badge in the cache is spawned on the death of a miniboss, so this trick basically allows you to loot a badge after a miniboss is dead, and then respawn it by killing the second. The blue item left in stops the cache from disappearing.

Whats more is you end up with the red half of the key leftover at the end, so you only have to get it from normal mech once. After that you always have the first half!

New Event - Brewfest Guide

Wednesday, October 3, 2007, posted by WoW Fan at 1:59 AM

Introduction:
Type: Brewfest
Date: 2-16 October
Location: Main Event: Orgrimmar and Ironforge.
Beer gardens will also be set up outside of Silvermoon City, Darnassus, Undercity, Stormwind, Thunder Bluff, the Exodar, and Shattrath.

Official Site: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/events/brewfest/

Now this is ram racing ... Almost (Ram Tutorial)
The first quest you will get is a tutorial about how to use a racing ram. You will need ram racing reins (from the apprentice next to the quest giver) to speed up with your mount, you can consider your speed like an energy bar that you fill everytime you use the reins. Basically, everytime you switch to trot, using the reins 4 times will get you to the "max" level of canter, using it a 5th time will change it to a galop, and smashing the button like mad will eventually exhaust your mount (when your Ram Fatigue debuff reaches 100) and get you stuck in place for 15 seconds. You can also pass near apples buckets to remove the ram fatigue debuff, there is one next to the signs after the bridge and another one behind the guy you need to see in Kharanos.

Daily Quest - There and Back Again
Reward : 15 tickets the first time, then 5 tickets for each keg delivered. (You can only do it once a day and you still have the 4 minutes limit, however you will get extra time everytime you deliver a keg and you can get 50 tickets each day with a decent route)
You need to get a keg from Flynn Firebrew in Kharanos, he's standing on a hill on the right of the road (next to the armory). Bring it back to the quest giver and do this 3 times, you can use the apples buckets to make it faster, but you can do without it.

Did Someone Say, "Souvenir?"
Reward : Yellow Brewfest Stein
Just give the voucher to Belibi Quickswitch in the Brewfest camp.

Daily quest - Bark for the Barleybrews!
You're supposed to go to 4 flags in the capital and yell, I don't know if it's bugged or if I was too stupid to do it, but I couldn't complete it.
Reward : 50 Tickets

Daily quest - Bark for the Thunderbrews!
Reward : 50 Tickets
You're supposed to go to 4 flags in the capital and yell, I don't know if it's bugged or if I was too stupid to do it, but I couldn't complete it.

Catch the Wild Wolpertinger!
Reward : Wolpertinger's Tankard (This pet is actually invisible to other players)
The point here is to ... drink, drink, and drink again. Buy wine from the wine vendor (or anything else) and drink until you feel completely smashed. (The emotes will appear in this order : You feel tipsy > You feel drunk > You feel completely smashed). When you're smashed, you will be able to see the Wolpertinger for about 10 seconds, then they will disappear and you will have to drink again to make them reappear.

Pink Elekks on Parade
Reward : 75 Tickets
Visit the beer gardens in Stormwind, Darnassus, and the Exodar (they're small camp at the entrance of each city) and zap 3 Elekks at each location. You have to be drunk as well for this quest.

Seek the Saboteurs
Every hour, Dark Iron dwarves will attack the brewfest camp, during the attack you can use Complimentary Brewfest Sampler in your inventory to throw them at the attackers, Belbi Quickswitch will give you a Brewfest Prize Ticket for each dwarf you knock down.
After the attack, you will be able to get a quest from plans on the ground. This quest requires you to go in Blackrock Depths (Grim Guzzler tavern) to find a guy. He roams in the room, behind the barrels most of the time, and will hide behind the plans seller when you come too close. Just talk to him and you will get the [Dark iron Tankard]

Tickets rewards
You can buy tons of things with tickets. All these items (including mounts) will last after the events except the Belbi's Eyesight Enhancing Romance Goggles (Turns everyone into a gnome/orc depending on your side. 7 Days duration). The "Honorary Brewer" hand stamp will let you buy mounts from the apprentice (10 gold for the normal mount, 100 gold for the epic one). You need 600 tickets for the mounts, 100 for the goggles.

The mount is the same for horde players, and is permanent even after the event.

Total Invincibility for 5mins - Horde

Wednesday, February 7, 2007, posted by WoW Fan at 12:34 AM

Article Credit: MacPJ

There is a quest in Blade's Edge Mountains called "The Smallest Creatures".

When you take control of a Marmont, you gain a buff that allows you to hide into the background. However, the Marmont is considered a pet, and thus you can dismiss it. The trick is that after you dismiss your Marmont, you still maintain the 5 minute invisibility buff.

For the duration, you are INVISIBLE and UNTARGETABLE. During this time, you can go on a pure ganking spree. Hostile players are completely unable to attack you. And NPCs will also ignore your attacks, even in towns and cities. The only way that the effect is broken is if you attack a NPC directly.

Enjoy your 5 minutes of bliss. If you can get a friend to get you in a BG as soon as you get the buff, you have unlimited possibilities! And yes, you can do this as many times as you want until they fix it of course.

Example of Quest Reward

Wednesday, January 17, 2007, posted by WoW Fan at 4:38 PM

Talk about replacing T1 items with Green Items from quests and drops in Outlands... here is an example of quest reward from Zangarmarsh which just blows the Mage inside of me away:

Quest Name: Lines of Communication [Level 64]
Begins With: Puluu
Ends With: Puluu

Quest Objectives
Puluu at the Orebor Harborage wants you to kill 12 Marshfang Slicers.

Quest Description
One of the reasons Ikuti led us to Zangarmarsh was to help open the lines of communication between the draenei and the Kurenai home city of Telaar in Nagrand. In order for messengers to pass swiftly between Telaar and Telredor, the roads must be secured.

On our way here, we were attacked repeatedly by marshfang slicers. We were able to fight them off, but they would pose a formidable threat to a solitary messenger. Reducing their numbers will help ensure the safety of our messengers.

Monsters to Kill
12 x Marshfang Slicer

Reward - Choose One of the Following

Please feel free to put your thoughts on this and whether this motivate your WOW adventures by the comment feature below.

Cheers!

Obtaining STV Arena Chest

Wednesday, January 10, 2007, posted by WoW Fan at 3:00 AM

Perhaps this little trick is posted around but anyways this is how to improve your chance to get the STV Arena chest. I personally tried this and I've gotten the chest 14 out of 18 tries thus far.

1) First you buy some "Noggenfrogger elixers" from Gadgetzen.
(Makes you skelet/small/Slow fall)

2) Then you drink some of them till you are small, tiny, whatever you call it.
Its random, one time you get skelet, other time tiny. Keep drinking!

3) You go to the arena in STV, stranglethorn vale. Better to be lvl +40!

4) Drink a pot 5 minutes before the chest spawns
Chest spawns at 3am, 6am, 9am, 12am, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm, 12pm

5) Go to the spot WHERE THE CHEST SPAWNS!
Its in the middle of the area, can't miss it

Another good trick is to do step 1-4 above and log out on the spot where it starts & log back in when chest spawns. Let everyone get killed & open chest while they fight.

Enjoy!
