Phat Loot Phriday: Unborn Val'kyr

Michael Gray — Fri, 17 May 2013 15:00:00 EST

The ghostly creature hovered in the air, quietly chewing on a chocolate chip cookie. Her iridescent wings flapped in slow, lazy arcs.

"And you don't know where you got her?" Lolegolas asked. "No clue at all?"

"None," Throgg confirmed. "I just opened up my pet bag and poof. There she was. She's pretty cute, though. In an adorable way, I mean."

Lolegolas nodded. "So, she's a mystery. Why is she unborn?"

"It turns out her people don't consider you really born until you kill a worthy target," Throgg said.

"That's kind of harsh," Lolegolas said. "Does she fight well?"

"Incredibly well," Throgg said. "That's why I gave her a cookie. She totally decimated my opponent a few moments ago. She likes cookies."

Item Note: The Unborn Val'kyr is shrouded in mystery; we're not quite sure where you can get it yet. While Northrend is an obvious component, the details are still vague. Stay tuned for more details!

Phat Loot Phriday brings you the scoop on some of the most ... interesting ... loot in the World of Warcraft, often viewed through the eyes of the stalwart Throgg and indelible Lolegolas. Suggest items you think we should feature by emailing mikeg@wowinsider.com.

Phat Loot Phriday: Curious Wolvar Pup

Michael Gray — Fri, 03 May 2013 14:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

"I have a plan," the druid told the curious wolvar pup. "I know how I'm going to get you adopted."

The pup looked up at the Gilnean and growled curiously. "Skrrrrrrr."

"There's this orc. Likes puppies," the Gilnean said. "And it turns out, you're a pup. He's going to call you Spot, though. I should warn you."

"Skrrrrr?"

"It's a common name for dogs," the Gilnean explained. "As a worgen, I'm sure you understand why I dislike that."

The wolvar bounced in place and clapped its tiny little hands together.

"I'm going to miss you though, little Skir. You're pretty cute."

Item Note: The best part of Children's Week is that is has the very best rewards. Sure, there's the Curious Wolvar Pup but there's also Willy and Speedy and Egbert and so many more. Best pets ever! Check out our guide if you need a little help!

Phat Loot Phriday: Xan'tish's Flute

Michael Gray — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 14:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

Throgg danced a merry jig, playing his flute, with a line of snakes following along behind him. Lolegolas leaned against a tree, watching the orc rock out with his flute out. The meadows surrounding them shimmered with yellow grass.

"So, you really got into the rebellion, didn't you?" Lolegolas said to nobody in particular. "Big fan of the trolls and their toys, are we?"

Throgg ignored him as a particularly jiggy cobra slithered by. Thick grime from the recent rainfall, and the inevitable wet earth, clung to his pants.

"Xan'tish's Flute, he says," the blood elf moaned. "Get snakes to follow me, he says. You realized, it's supposed to be rats. You play your pan pipes, or whatever they are, and you get rats."

Throgg kept dancing in the open fields.

The blood elf sighed. "Look, I'm just tired of the merry jigging snakes in this mudder loving plain."

Throgg stopped. "Too soon, man. That's still not funny."

Item Notes: Another gift from our friends in the upcoming patch, wild snakes will follow you for a minute.

Phat Loot Phriday: Gazh'rooki's Summoning Stone

Michael Gray — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 14:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

"Throgg. Throgg!" the blood elf yelled. "There's a miniature kaiju eating my shoe." Lolegolas watched the little monster gnaw on his boots. "Why is there a miniature kaiju eating my shoe?"

Throgg smiled and shushed the little monster away from the elf's footwear. "It's Gazh'rooki!"

"I... see," Lolegolas said. "And where did you get it?"

"I might have helped the Darkspear with their whole rebellion thing," Throgg said slowly. "I've never been a big fan of Garrosh."

"Well, he did try to kill you," Lolegolas said. "One takes that sort of thing somewhat personally."

Throgg nodded. "So, I was helping out, as you do, and I got this little Gazh'rooki. It's like a miniature Gahz'rilla!"

"I picked up on that," Lolegolas responded.

Item Notes: If you don't get the name, this information is very relevant to you. Otherwise, this little fella is a reward for helping out in patch 5.3.

Phat Loot Phriday: Invocation of the Dawn

Michael Gray — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

The druid known as Not Spot muttered to himself while scrawling a sigil on the ground. The artwork took longer than usual since he was using the handle of an immense hammer. As soon as the picture was finished, a flash of light erupted in the small clearing and a woman in scintillating robes appeared.

The druid blinked. "Uh."

"What?" she asked. "I'm a priest."

"Like, you can heal me and such?" the worgen asked. "I'm a druid. I can handle that myself, for the most part."

"I prefer Discipline, actually," the priest answered. "Though, we still heal. But it's pretty different from what druids do."

"You really weren't what I was expecting," the worgen replied. "I was looking for help finding my friends."

"What were you expecting with an Invocation of the Dawn? It's a powerful caster mace," she answered. "Of course you'd see someone like me."

Item Note: Much to everyone's chagrin, this weapon will not actually summon a priest blogger. However, it does have smashing stats and drops in the Throne of Thunder.

Phat Loot Phriday: Lil' Bad Wolf

Michael Gray — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

Lolegolas slapped a hand over his mouth to keep from laughing. Throgg failed to restrain the same urge but his mirth emerged as uncontrollable giggles.

"What?" roared the Lil' Bad Wolf. "You dare mock me? Tremble before my mighty claws!"

"You're just so cute!" Lolegolas responded.

"Run away, little girl!" the diminuitive worgen pronounced. Its fierce claws would be frightening if it came up to anyone's knees. "Run away!"

"Okay, I give up, Throgg," the blood elf said. "Where'd you get him?"

"Karazhan," the orc responded. "It came with the Spiky Collar."

"What are you naming it?" the blood elf asked.

"Rose."

"Of course," he responded. "Who's a lil' bad wolf? Who's a lil' bad wolf?"

'Little elf, don't taunt the miniature worgen."

"Why?" Lolegolas asked. "Can it hurt me?"

"No, it's just tacky."

Item Note: The Lil' Bad Wolf is taught by the Spiky Collar which drops from the Big Bad Wolf in Karazhan, once patch 5.3 rolls out.

Phat Loot Phriday: Band of Finding

Michael Gray — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday, Mists of Pandaria

The worgen ran on all fours. Thick padded feet pounded earth and stone and grass. He occasionally swapped out the canine gift of his nation for the more magnificent speed of a stag. But mostly, the worgen just ran.

The Band of Finding glittered on his paw. Hand. Hoof. It's a druid, it changes, okay?

While the ring would hardly be the biggest upgrade the druid would see in Pandaria's misty realm, he liked the synchronicity of it. The druid was trying to find his band, so why not use the Band of Finding?

So still, he just kept running. After so long a separation, the druid was pretty sure he'd beat up the blood elf and orc as soon as he found them. It seemed appropriate, at this point.

Item Note: You pick up the Band of Finding from Finding Your Center or Instant Messaging. You get it fairly early into the late 80s, so it's not like it's a mind-blowing ring long term. But if you're gearing up a Strength DPS character, make sure to tuck it away in your pocket. I found myself using it for a surprisingly long time.

Phat Loot Phriday: Helpful Wikky's Whistle

Michael Gray — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

Throgg sat on the ground, waiting patiently. A whistle dangled loosely from his fingers while the orc looked around the clearing. He sighed.

"What are you doing?" Lolegolas asked. He looked briefly to the sky. "Have you noticed I say that a lot?"

"I have," the orc answered. "I'm waiting for Wikky."

"Wikky who?" the blood elf asked again. "Wikky what?"

"Wikky's a who. He's a helpful little chap," the orc answered. "But you have to pay very close attention. If Wikky waits a while, well, Wikky will wile away. But Wikky works well when we wait."

"What?"

"He dies. If you don't tend to him right away, he'll disappear," the orc said. "You're supposed to be the clever one."

"Don't look at me," Lolegolas said. "I never got the whistle to work."

Item Note: Wikky's Helpful Whistle is a bizarre little item. You use it, and Wikky appears. You can tell him to go forage for you. But if you wait too long before talking to him -- or before collecting his gift when he returns from foraging -- he dies. So, keep an eye out and interact with Wikky right away.

Phat Loot Phriday: Origami Rock

Michael Gray — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

Lolegolas couldn't tell if his orc friend was dancing... or being electrocuted. Whichever activity it was, Throgg was waving a huge, gray stone around in the air.

"What are you doing?" Lolegolas asked.

"Uh. Rocking?" Throgg answered. "Wasn't it obvious?"

The blood elf pursed his lips. "That's why you have a stone."

"Of course," the orc answered. "I'm rocking out with my rock out."

Lolegolas winced and left that alone. "But why are you rocking out?"

"I never learned to read," Throgg said.

"Okay, first, that's patently not true. I've seen you read. And secondly, why would that have anything to do with the stone?"

"I keep seeing scribes throw Origami Rocks everywhere. But I don't know how to scribe stuff so I just got a big stone and am rocking out my own way. I don't need other people to tell me how to rock."

"Crumpling paper was too much for you?" Lolegolas pondered. "This is at once the most disturbing thing I've seen you do... but also kind of profound. Rock on, Throgg."

"Rock on, little elf."

Item note: You, too, can master the fine art of Inscription by crumpling up a piece of paper and making an Origami Rock.

Phat Loot Phriday: Staff of the Hidden Master

Michael Gray — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

The druid made his way down the long, dusty road. Clothed in his human form, he nonetheless sniffed the air as he plucked his way along, leaning occasionally on his Staff of the Hidden Master.

"So, how'd ye get the staff, lad?" his dwarf companion asked. "I thought that was reserved for monks."

"Used to be," the worgen druid said. "The Staff of the Hidden Master is hidden in Valley of the Four Winds."

"Pandaria, aye?" the dwarf asked. "What were you doing there?"

"Searching for my friends. A blood elf and an orc. But I beat them there, somehow."

"Didn't they get lost there during the beta?"

"Throgg got obsessed with pet battles," the worgen answered. "We try not to talk about it."

Item Note: Yes, you can enjoy the awesome beer-dangling-staff model with the Staff of the Hidden Master. Good luck finding it, though. Totally worth it if you can manage it.

Phat Loot Phriday: Swift Lovebird

Michael Gray — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 17:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

Think of this Phat Loot Phriday as a love note. It's a love note to you, our readers. It's a love note about a lovebird. Don't you see this lovebird? Isn't it a thing of beauty? It's like you, our readers. A thing of beauty.

We wanted to make sure you know about this swift lovebird, because you're almost out of time to get it. If you grind real hard and get all the Love Tokens you need, you could still get this lovebird. But it's a lot of tokens -- 270. That's a lot of killing but if you truly want love, you can do it. You have today and tomorrow.

We were going to have the regular characters of PLP write this love note to you, but they're oddly not around. Who knows where they are?

Item Note: It's a mount. And while play old ground mounts are a little deprecated these days, who doesn't want a lovebird?

Phat Loot Phriday: Beauty's Favorite Bone

Michael Gray — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 17:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

The man not named Spot stared at his bone. It was a good bone, from days gone by. He held it in his hands and heaved a huge sigh. Except for the thick glass of stout by his side, the man may have been holding back tears.

"Hey, there, buddy," the bartender said. "Why the long face?"

"This was given to me by friends," the druid sighed. "I've not see them since the last exp ... erience we had together."

"Why do you still keep it?"

"This is Beauty's Favorite Bone! It was a gift!"

"Uh huh," the bartender said, wiping down the oak counter with a moist rag. "That must be it."

"Fine," the man sighed. "You can transmog it. And look at it, it's awesome."

The bartender remained quiet.

"And I chew on it."

"Yeah, I thought so."

Item Note: Beauty's Favorite Bone is available from heroic Blackrock Caverns. All you strapping pandas should have no trouble getting it.

Picture Note: That is neither a worgen or bone. But this picture represents Not Spot in my head.

Phat Loot Phriday: Deep Thunder, Reborn

Michael Gray — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

"Throgg, we're supposed to be finding your dog."

"Our dog."

"Your dog," Lolegolas countered. "What are you doing in there? We're in a hurry."

"It's an outhouse," Throgg replied from behind the wooden door. "It's the Throne of Thunder. What do you think I'm doing?"

"Forging Deep Thunder," Lolegolas said. "Reborn."

"Really, little elf?" Throgg sighed.

"I've dealt with your puns for years. At this point, I'm allowed more than a few in vengeance."

"Doesn't matter. Can't make that until we get to the Lightning Forge."

"Thunder & Lightning," the blood elf commented idly. "I get it. It's like a theme. Maybe we can get a flame decal up the side of something to help illustrate the awesomeness."

"Why not?" Throgg asked. The outhouse shook a little. "You'd look good with mullet."

"I'd rather re-elect Garrosh."

The outhouse only thundered in response.

Item Note: Finally, it's the return of that old standby of overpowered Arenas... Deep Thunder. I kept wondering when it would make its comeback.

Phat Loot Phriday: Turkey Cage

Michael Gray — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 13:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

From the journal of Lolegolas:

It's day 109. I feel the hours creeping longer as the rumbling pit in my stomach grows. We haven't eaten since we left Pandaria and even the sinew from my bow begins to smell tasty. If we don't eat soon, I will be forced to take a drastic measure.

The drastic measure's name is Gobbles. Throgg's pet turkey. He keeps staring at me with taunting caruncles and impeccable thighs. Throgg pulls Gobbles from his Turkey Cage to fight other pet trainers.

And every time, I think... we're starving to death. Why don't we just eat Gobbles? It can induce a Food Coma, but it does not fill me. The horror, the horror.

From the journal of Gobbles:

I sense my destiny.

Item note: It's time for another Thanksgiving celebration and there exists no better way to celebrate lots of food that doing pet battle with your Plump Turkey. It's a meal you can fight!

Phat Loot Phriday: Pandaren Brewpack

Michael Gray — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 19:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

"Call me Spot," the drunk Gilnean said. "Just call me Spot."

The dwarf barkeep started to slide another pint toward the druid but the burly man just waved it off.

"No, no," the man said. He gestured to his backpack. A thin tube extended from it, tapering off at the druid's hand. The man stuck the end in his mouth and gave it a good suck. "See? Got my own."

"What is that?" the dwarf asked with some small amount of shock.

"Pandaren Brewpack," the druid answered. "It's like a camel's back, but with beer. Works great."

"Why're you drinking, anyway?" the barkeep asked. "Since I'm exposition-dwarf tonight, you might as well tell me."

The Gilnean suddenly let loose a thick sob. "My friends left me! They disappeared in Pandaria and I haven't seen them in months."

"So, you thought the logical response would be to go to a bar and drink beer from your backpack?"

"I'm just a Spot sad," the Gilnean answered, burying his head in his forearms.

Item Note: You get it from Brewfest. And yes, I'm aware I radically misrepresented the way it works, but who hasn't wanted a Camelbak loaded with beer?

Phat Loot Phriday: Sap-Encrusted Legplates

Matthew Rossi — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday, Mists of Pandaria

"Dear Throgg... dear lord this looks like it was written by a goblin with a broken hand being used as a pen by a drunken ogre."

"Uncle Grumpy wrote me?" Throgg peered at the letter. "He did! You should read it to me."

Lolegolas stared piercingly at the disconcertingly chipper orc. "I know you can read this."

"Reading isn't my thing."

"That's fine, writing clearly wasn't your uncle's thing. What language is this even in? Lok'tar thaal'kit sha'suun anariel... is that trollish and goblin in the same sentence?"

"Oh, it's in warriorese. Uncle doesn't really remember how to speak anything else. Took too many blows to the head. Just skip down to the bottom, it'll get to the point there." Throgg ignored the ever increasing piercing quality of the stare Lolegolas was leveling on him.

"All right then... let's see if I can find anything like words in this thing... Me go to big bear land. Boat sink. Me walk on bottom of water. Lots of bears. Many beers with bears. Go to Yak house, help yak kill bugs. Get pants. Good pants. Me draw picture of pants. You need get good pants. Are you warmly dress in pants? Pants useful. You come here, to bear land, and we drink beers with bears and get pants. Pants covered in tree goo, makes them strong." The blood elf blinked several times. Had he actually said that out loud? Had anyone else heard him say that out loud?

"You know what this means!?"

"That your uncle is legally dead?"

"No, that my friend Stinky. This means we're going on an adventure!" Throgg leapt to his axe cupboard, immediately pulling out various axes and tossing them over his shoulder. "What axe goes best with new pants?"

Item Notes: They're tanking pants, they drop in the siege of Niuzao Temple, and they are indeed encrusted with sap. Despite this, they vendor for 24 gold 16 silver 40 copper.

Phat Loot Phriday: Wind Rider Cub

Michael Gray — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 17:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

Soot growled as Lolegolas's Wind Rider Cub took a bite out of the Netherwhelp. The young wind rider pinned the dragonkin to the ground. For all the world, the cub looked like it was smiling.

"Look, I'm not trying to be obnoxious," the blood elf said mildly. "But I've been running with this cub for as long as I've existed in this... uh..."

"Story!" Miranda shouted helpfully. "Don't say column, it annoys people who follow continuity."

"... uh, story," Lolegolas finished. "Did you really think you were going to get in a pet fight with Throgg? I'm a hunter. It's built into my character.

Throgg finished smashing Miranda free from her cage, shaking his head in annoyance. "Didn't even get to fight. It's a sad world when an orc can't axe the bad guy."

Soot sighed as he sat on the ground. "I guess the Throgg Days of Summer are finally over."

"Really?" Miranda asked mildly. "That's how we're leaving this? With a bad pun?"

"Back to basics," Throgg said. "That's the new plan. Just the basics. Jokes and isolated stories. Think it'll work?"

"It'd take a miracle," Miranda answered.

"Hey," Throgg said suddenly. "Has anyone seen my dog?"

Item Notes: It's true! Lolegolas's first appearance was with a wind rider cub waaaay back when. Since this is one of the last PLP's before the expansion, I wanted to wrap up this somewhat meandering story with a shout out to the beginnings. Let the pandamonium begin!

Phat Loot Phriday: Horde Ballooon

Michael Gray — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

When we last left our heroes, the plot was finally moving forward again, thanks to your narrator's sudden obsession with pet battles. I mean, seriously, have you tried them out yet? OMG, awesome.

Lolegolas and Throgg rode from the gym in a cloud of dust and machismo. Like a pair of gods carved from solid stone, their rippling muscles and perfect definition would be the envy of any underwear model. Would be. The effect was ruined by a dainty red balloon drifting behind Throgg.

"I'm not clear on how the balloon is going to defeat our enemy," Lolegolas said.

"Won't. Balloon can't fight," Throgg growled. "Tired of pets. I want to hit him with my axe."

"That's a shame when you think about it. Orgrimmar's Fighting Balloons would be a hell of a team. It would certainly be better than Osh-Kosh Garrosh."

Throgg spared the blood elf a dry look. "Balloon doesn't fight. This is just for show. I'm going to hit the bad guy with my axe and rescue Miranda."

"Imagine if the balloon could cast spells," Lolegolas said. "Heal-ium, for example."

"Do you mind?" Throgg asked. "Trying to look imposing here."

Item note: Horde Balloon doesn't fight. Which, c'mon, Blizzard -- that'd be awesome! Fighting balloons. And since the Horde and Alliance can each get their balloons in a simple quest, that would be amazing. Am I the only one who thinks fighting balloons are awesome?

Phat Loot Phriday: Rabbit

Michael Gray — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 20:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

Throgg leaned back against the pet gymnasium wall, chewing on a piece of straw while he watched Lolegolas. For his part, the blood elf did not look amused.

"What will you be fighting with today?" the old man asked Lolegolas. The gym trainer had long, flowing white hair and a slightly stoned look. Lolegolas had ultimately decided it was best not to ask about what the trainer used in his pipe.

"A fierce creature from the very depths of Stormwind," Lolegolas said. "A Rabbit."

The old man blinked.

"It has very pointy teeth, man," Lolegolas said. "It's mean."

"If you are going to rescue your friend Miranda," the trainer answered, "you will need to skillfully command your ... rabbit."

"Bun Morogh, I summon you!" Lolegolas shouted. The bunny appeared on the floor, twitching its nose disdainfully.

"Really?" the old man finally asked. "A bunny?"

"It's fierce if you rile it," Lolegolas commented weakly.

Pet notes: Seriously, man. Between Burrow, Adrenaline Rush, and Stampede, the Rabbit's got moves like Jagger. Give it a try before you scoff at the fuzzy herald of doom.

Phat Loot Phriday: Pet Bombling

Michael Gray — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 17:00:00 EST

Filed under: Phat Loot Phriday

Throgg growled at the human. "Where is the girl, human? Where is she?"

"Ha!" the soldier cackled, throwing his cape back over his shoulder. "I am Soot Dartsum of the Imperial Navy! I will not be cowed by the likes of an ogre."

"Orc," Lolegolas quietly pointed out. "Throgg's an orc. You can tell by the green skin. It's a dead giveaway."

"Quiet, fool!" the man said. He reached into his bag and hurled a large, black ball on the ground.

"Throgg, get down!" Lolegolas yelled. "It's a bomb!"

The human veritably clapped his hands with glee when the bomb grew a pair of legs. "No! It's my Pet Bombling, and it will lay waste on your foolish team."

The aforementioned orc cocked his head slightly to the side. "I'm sorry. Can you run that by me again?"

"That's how we fight here," Soot explained. "With pets. It's much more civilized than bashing on one another with axes."

"Oh," Throgg muttered. "I kind of like hitting people with axes. It's kind of my thing."

"So, you don't know how to fight wit pets?" the man asked. "That's going to be awkward. Look, there's a school right down the hill. Why don't you trot down and get a quick lesson? I'll wait here."

Item note: Pet Bombling can be picked up at the auction house fairly easily. It's a mechanical type pet.
