Patch 4.2: Firelands Boss Loot Including Where Pureblood Fire Hawk Drops
Thanks to the Encounter Journal feature on the PTR, we now have what drops from what boss in our knowledge for
Firelands
. This is pretty awesome and it confirms things most people speculated about ilevels, including how
Ragnaros
has an elevated ilevel like
Sinestra
does from current content (as well as a mace that any Holy paladin would probably kill to have).
Crystallized Firestone
also drops from all heroic modes of bosses it seems and it is uncertain as to what this item is used for, though it could quite possibly be used to upgrade armor pieces.
A lot of people thought that
Smoldering Egg of Millagazor
would drop from a rare mob, but no, that's also our favorite Firelord. Speaking of mounts, however, it's possible that since
Flametalon of Alysrazor
isn't tied to a loot table for a boss currently that it could be from a rare mob or a random drop from doing the zone quests--which
Alysrazor
plays a role in. We'll have to wait and see.

Impressions from Zalazane's Fall
After visiting Dun Morogh to see Operation: Gnomeregan in action (see my recently whipped-up blog,
Impressions from Operation: Gnomeregan
), I wanted to check out what the Cataclysm pre-launch event looks like for the Horde side. If you weren't able to keep up with the flood of information about the pre-launch events, be sure to check out the quick summary we have on the
Pre-Launch Events
from our
Cataclysm guide
.
As a quick recap, the
Gnomes
are plotting to reclaim
, their irradiated city lost to
Mekgineer Thermaplugg
. At the same time, the
Trolls
plan to retake the Echo Isles, their former home taken away from them by
Zalazane
. The mysterious Twilight's Hammer Cult will also take advantage of the situation to agitate for their teachings, bewildering common citizens.
Enough with the babble! Let's explore
Zalazane's Fall

Blizzard Releases Tier 10 Set Bonuses on PTR (Updated 10-10!)
Update!
Blizzard has been taking user feedback into consideration and has made changes to some set bonuses. We will stay on top of these updates as they are posted! :)
I'm sure many of you guys noticed Blizzard's
Tier 10 Sneak Peek
that we
blogged about
earlier this afternoon, in which Blizzard showed off some of the new class tier armor designs and proved to us, yet again, that the person responsible for designing leather helms is a nutjob (just kidding!).
They have since elaborated on this information by releasing the Tier 10 set bonuses, which have been released for each class' respective item sets. Blizzard is requesting that users (especially those currently testing on the PTR) provide them with any feedback, as these items will soon be available on the PTR for additional testing. Theorycrafters, hardcore raiders, and casuals alike are all given their chance to get their ideas thrown out there!
