I already did Loremaster, but I've been going back through to see the changes.  Most zones show 0-2 quests completed, but I've run across a number of quests that are just tweaked versions of old quests (number of kills reduced, or quest item from a different source).  Also, Darkshire is much better now that they've moved the Hermit, although it could still use a third flight point at the watcher camp in the middle of the zone.

The vehicle portion of the "Rambo"-themed questline in Redridge was rather entertaining  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

If you're ally, I've been told to check out the guy in the canyon between Loch modan and Badlands.  The crazy dwarf from Badlands was moved here and apparently his quest is hilarious.

I started Westfall last night for the achieve and it's one long CSI:Miami joke.  The main character of your quests is Horatio Laine. awesome, for real

Forgot to look at the Barrens. Loving Orgrimmar changes though.

Went into Durotar to see flooded Thunder Ridge and decided to jump in and have a look.  At the bottom were a load of Drowned Thunder Lizards, all still sparking away. For seem reason it was a bit Heartbreak even though they were a pain in the arse and I must have killed hundreds of them over the years.

There is an NPC in the bunker just outside the Org Main gates with a quest involving those poor electrified corpses.

1k needles was just  ACK!.  Navigating around in there as a lowbie has GOT to be a pain in the ass.

I read something about that, it's related to how they changed it as a currency, and apparently that means they can't retroactively fix it.

Well, at least that character still has a ton of recipes to get from The Rokk, and the new Org dailies to do too.

Sorry to jump in.....how do the new quests fit in with someone who has already completed Loremaster? Can i go and do them all, or will they be done for me?

Laugh away, but that was one of the things I was looking forward to in Cata, doing old quests and jumping low levels who are also doing them. Makes this 80 feel like a god lol. Also, a bit of OSD regarding completing achievements  embarassed

Your Loremaster is marked complete, yet none of the new quest achievements required for it are marked done.  So go quest away to your heart's content.

Also, you get faction for redoing the quests.  Gilneas is up somewhere in Honored after doing just the southern portions of Eastern Kingdoms, and Steamwheedle faction got a big boost from re-doing Booty Bay.

Tip for everyone levelling a new alt: The various city faction vendors (the ones with the tabards) all sell a fairly cheap, unique 16-slot bag that needs revered faction to buy, which most characters will hit with their home faction before L20.

I like it; it helps toward training players on what to do at the cap, rather then slam with a bunch of new mechanics.

Funny I just noticed that bags on the AH have gone up exponentially from last week. I always grab 4 nethers for a new toon and they went from 7g to 15g in 1 week.

Yep, but he normally despawns after a minute or two of bashing on the rocket.  Or at least, he used to, I think...?

I think prices for most things that low level chars could want have gone up, simply because there's so many new alts being created now by people with mains with 10's of 1000's of gold so anything under 100g doesn't even register.

I've been clearing out banks and stuff and have made about 5000g in 2 days!

He did.  Netherstorm is all kinds of bugged since the patch.  The bartender goblin who catches on fire never comes back to life on my server.  Makes getting the required # of quests for Loremaster a bit of a bitch.

Been farming SFK on my DK lately. Sold feet of the linx for 25g which I am thinking could have gone for more. Perfect time to farm and play the AH.

Glad to know it isn't just me...  Though the bartender got rezzed normally when I did that quest 2-3 days ago on my server, in any case.

I started up a Warrior on my second account the other day (bought a second account ot get the 2-person rocket) and so while my main account is down, this one goes until January. While on the one hand it's annoying to be levelling an alt without all of those damned Heirlooms I catassed to buy (they're on my main account), it's also quite a lot of fun.

Was doing the normal quest lines - Elwynn > Westfall > Redridge and slowly but surely outlevelling the quests while just doing them. When I got to 15 and started doing a few random dungeons, I started getting something like a level per dungeon run, so now I'm 31 and still halfway through the Redridge quests. Got to decide if I keep going through the quests or if I skip ahead a bunch of zones, or just dungeon my way up. Westfall was fun, and surprising, and Redridge has been good so far, just all the mobs have turned grey.

I did my first random dungeon as DPS with a 27min wait. Since then I've been tanking, with instant queues. Which are DRILLING AND MANLINESS and making me think I might just skip the quests and go back to them when I'm level whatever. Some of the DPS guys are a bit douchey from time to time, but I've learned over the past few days that I don't need to care, since if they screw me around I have instant queues, while they have a 20min wait. Damned sick of Gnomeregan, though.

Oh yeah, while doing the zones, I noticed that some of the quests are zone-changing beyond a few NPC locations, as per WUA's complaint, but then again, who the fuck hangs out in Westfall or Redridge mountains at level 80? Anyway, at 80, 2 hours or under and the zone is done, what with fast/flying mounts and one-shot kills and AE 1-shot multikills. And from what I've done so far, entertaining for the time spent.

According to a thread on MMO-Champ, it is a quest item, that functions as a mount, and is only useable in 1k needles.  I was really hoping it would be a mount towards my even more mounts achievement.
