I love Crendor's Pointless Top Tens so freaking much. I have to say, my favorite "Regular human tavern" has to be the Honor Hold Inn in the Outlands, and the reason why is because there's something so hilarious about the normalcy of it. If you forget where you logged out and you log back in, you could almost fool yourself into thinking you're in Elwynn forest with how normal everything looks. Then you walk outside and Hellfire Peninsula is just all around you. There's a Pit Lord's head on a stake in the town square. Perfection. Just a hilarious monument to normalcy in a strange world.
Dude I am in a bad mood these few days and this morning when I was eating I was wondering what to watch. And then I saw your upload and just thought "I want to watch this! Just light information delivered by a nice calm voice" and I did... and it was awesome. You have remained the test of time for me as a youtuber my friend.
What the? No mention of the super hidden easter egg in World's End Tavern that only priests with a certain item can see? There is a ghost of Ricole Nichie standing next to Haris Pilton, that only priests can see if they have The Eye of Divinity equipped.
i love these pointless top 10s, my favorite thing about world of warcraft is its vast and very explorable world, and appreciating the little things in it is just not something that a lot of players seem to want to do, so im glad someone really is :]
Playing HC i found out about a tavern inside Dun Modr, it was so weird to see an almost empty dwarven tavern, there is only a friendly iron dwarf that sells stuff, it even has a portion of the underground part of the tavern where a couple of rooms should be, but it was only one main room, weird to say the least.
When I think "The World's End", I always think of the Cornetto film. Edgar Wright was a genius storyteller. If you haven't seen the Cornetto trilogy, I highly recommend it! Starts with Shaun of the Dead. Edit: Notorious and infamous pretty much mean the same thing, anyway. Lol
1:00 you wanna know what the deal with the Kobold candles is? There is a quest in Legion in Highmountain. Inside a cave are the actual Kobolds where the candle myth comes from. There is a little circle of candles (9 iirc) inside that cave where the Kobolds live and they warn you not to blow them out, because bad things happen in the dark. Being the „heroes“ we are, ofc we blow out the candles and when the last candle is out the bad thing they (the light) protect you from is summoned, and it’s an ancient elite evil demon called „The Darkness“. It’s also a card in hearthstone. But yeah, some more pointless knowledge for you :)
So glad to be alive at the same time as Crendor. The videos are so entertaining and I chuckle or cheer every time he says the number of each item on the list. You can usually gauge the level of silliness ahead based on how he says "Ten!".
#9 is my #1 because I can revisit it any time as a monk and listen to that one guy who goes to the corner and starts singing, changing the in-game music.
0:22 I remember finding her just for her 22-slot "Gigantique" Bag. Must've been before Wrath added the 24-slot Portable Hole. That or I somehow didn't know it existed.
Fun fact I learned from my friends who work on the WoW team, Hopps, line, and Sinker is actually modeled after a bar they’ve been to in Orange County, CA.
Loved the Dwarf Fortress reference. It's actually a double reference. First to the AIs neverending ability to mine or construct themselves into a dead end and require rescue, but second to an early bug that made carp both aggressive and incredibly deadly.
I was surprised to see that the Lions Pride Inn in Goldshire didn’t make the list, but then i realized that the inn itself is nothing noteworthy, it's just the people on Moonguard who have turned it into something...noteworthy.
Bruuk's Corner in Ironforge is my favorite RP tavern. Bruuk Barleybeard looks like an old veteran who retired & opened a tavern with his maybe daughter or maybe young wife (idk) Edris Barleybeard. One human patron is at the bar, Tisa Martine, who looks like shes on her way to or from some kind of adventure. Love this place!
Bro did not even know these existed. I love the little stuff they keep in WoW. Man i wish i had a pc back when all this started. I feel like i missed out on a piece of history.
I mean... It makes sense that that dwarf's father could also be his (half) brother... Clearly his mother slept with someone and birthed his half brother and then his half brother slept with his mother resulting in him being born... Interestingly this would mean that his grandfather would be is half-brother/father's father...
Thunderbrew Distillery is really so cozy. I might just have a thing for dwarven taverns, like the one in Loch Modan, Stoutlager Inn, because I just love it when I'm entering one. 9:10 When I clicked this video the first place I was thinking of was the Grim Guzzler. Nice to see that it made it on the list.
I agree with the number one pick, but it occurs to me that you could do a pointless top ten taverns for years and barely scratch the surface, there are jut that many Taverns in WOW!
The Grim Guzzler got shorted a bit in this video. There are quests in the tavern and in Classic the Tauren Chieftans play at 8 - it's where they got their start! Always one of my favorite locations in Classic.
One inn I really liked was that one in WoD that was like a human style tavern but I think there were ghosts around it and it had it's own music... I believe its in Spires of Arak, it's an area full of ghosts on the west coast where you can loot the "Spooky Scythe" item I think... Admiral Taylor's Garrison I think? If not that then some other one I'm thinking of where the inn has it's own music that I thought was super cool... I believe there's also some treasure nearby which a ghostly dog helps you locate? Edit: YEP! The Briny Barnacle... That's my favorite tavern I think... Literally a ghost party... Maybe we can get a pointless top 10 parties!
I've always liked the Alliance Dalaran tavern (A Hero's Welcome) mostly because of how many times I've hearthed there in WotLk and Legion. I like how it is integrated with the Greyfang Enclave Portal room and badge vendors, and it also has a picnic area in the back!
There's also a very small place called the Tavern of Time in the Caverns of Time if you just walk down the tunnel instead of riding a drake down. It's a single room without much going on, doesn't even have an innkeeper, but I thought it was a fun little joke. One thing I've always been disappointed by is the apparent lack of a real tavern in Uldum, the pseudo-Egyptian aesthetic of the tol'vir would make for a super cool and unique tavern I think! I also like the pre-Cataclysm orc taverns. The inns in the Crossroads or Razor Hill for example, with the little stone nooks in the walls for sleeping in, I always thought were kinda cute and cozy, as well as the ones like in Stonard in the Swamp of Sorrows. Post-Cata orc inns are still cool, like in Orgrimmar or Dragonmaw Port. I also like the draenei inns in Outland, and Bilgewater Harbor doesn't have much of a tavern but it has an outdoor restaurant!
Taverns are one of the most WoW things about WoW, in my opinion. The music, the aesthetic. Screw player housing, you should be able to open your own tavern! :D
The front part of a ship is called the bow, but it's pronounced like the gesture of deference (e.g. "bow to the king"), not like the weapon (e.g. "bow and arrow").
There WAS an invasion thing in the Grim Guzzler. IDK if it was part of a special event or something, but I remember back in the early days every now and then... you know what I think it might have been part of a quest or a seasonal thing? It existed for sure, I was there.
Harris Pilton made me think of a idea did you know somone is next to her invisible? its a thing,.. then thought dude top 10 invisible npcs.. they are indeed pointless but kewl AF
Ah Karanos and the thunder brew distillery. I was eRP'ing in the basement bedroom with my GF when a Horde raid rolled through. It was quite distracting.
