Yeah, right??? This fucking fossil is so rare, it is insane. I spent 3 expansions doing Archeology until I got it - thanks to WoD making archeology much easier (they doubled survey areas on continents, and significantly sliced number of iterations needed to find each part)
yeah getting jinrokth the destroyer sword or w/e from archaeology that quickly is the only unrealistic thing i remember back then it was the most complained about thing from my guildies
My friend did this with the intell one back in OG cata, he bought one, equipped and went to raid and wondered why it never procced I told him "Its the strength one"
ZinRock is actually more of a flex than this card - Archeology was freacking rough to do in Cataclysm. And this blade is ultra-low change of occuring, and only for Fossils sites - which are like 2 or 3 on Kalimdor, and also 2 or 3 on Eastern Kingdoms. CATA HYPE CATA HYPE
I can't wait to get boosted and buy gold in prepatch. So how many token do i need for a full set?? Oh no! why do those darkmoon cards cost so much! I'll be first to buy them. CATA HYPE. CATA HYPE.
? Why? You can collect this deck alright - you only need to have Darkmoon Faire for the turn-in of full deck, to get the actual trinket. But you can start collecting it from the get-go, I believe. Plus, I think they won't open the raids from the start of expansion - at least same two weeks, or month of buffer time should be there. The card is insanely good, though, at first tier of Cata raids, it is BiS for Strength/Agility melee classes, for sure.
It cost all my luck to get Zinrokh in super early days ... And yes I am farming the fuckin horse till now Also remember that Plate BOE belt from wotlk? I bought it ... on death knight ...
If Cata is Classic, then everything you know is wrong. Black is white, up is down and short is long. And everything you thought. Was just so important doesn't matter.
I remember back when Cata first launched. I had everything Pre Raid BiS even was First Place on some Lists they had for a while as the best equipped Paladin in the World (no Joke). And i still could not find a Group who would take me :/
Same( I spent WotLK on DK - when everybody and their mom played dk, so I had to learn how to tank to get into goddamn heroics at all. While paladins were in hot demand all expansion, in any spec. Retry pallys were outdamaging me with literal two or three abilities being clicked in whatever order. While I had to go through PhD level of knowledge gathering - to know which spec (Frost 2H, Frost DW or Blood 2H, Unholy is not my groove) better to be used as tank, or as damage dealer. So I rerolled pally for Cata - and guess what happened... :DD
Getting full pre-bis at the launch of cata was a blast for me as a player, I had started playing WoW in late wrath as a hunter. I was young and sooner became obsessed with GS, not caring a bit about stats. With the launch of Cata i went to be, from a noob in full ICC HC doing 2k dps, to one of the best hunters on my server. I was so proud of my efforts grinding herbs to afford the boes on the auction house. Going from being beaten by a tank on the dps meter to being almost always top 1 was such a huge merit for me!
