Wow, has it really been (almost) 3 years since I featured the Grand Expedition Yak from the MoP beta? At least, that’s how long it’s taken me to buy one on live servers. To be honest, there’s always been something I’ve wanted to buy more so the Yak remained fairly low on my list of priorities. I have to say, those gold missions, JC dailies, Salvage yard and pet sales have made it much easier to make that overdue purchase in Pandaria.

Sadly, without the Bartering Perk (which knocked 10% off the purchase price), expect to pay the full 120,000G for the privilege. The Arcane Reforger has also been replaced by a Transmogrifier, which is bound to come in handy at some stage.

In other news, I was surprised to hear another NPC had been datamined from the Patch 6.2 PTR so I was curious to see what role she would play with The Reliquary. It took me a while to find a location as I expected her to be tied to the new zone somehow or maybe the Garrison. My first thought had her replacing the guy from the Explorer’s League once you recruit Harrison Jones as a follower.

Nope, until I remembered seeing some people from The Reliquary in Ashran, including my father.

BINGO! It makes me wonder though… why am I there?

I’m not a big PVP’er – especially compared to those other tribute NPCs – but it is very cool to have another version out there somewhere (even if she will be killed now) =/

OK, after some investigating, it seems Belloc has a new quest for people in Ashran.
