Downtime Tuesday #33, Patch 6.2.2a Hotfixes for September 21st
Downtime Tuesday Episode 32 with
Panser
covers all the Brewfest festivities!
A new week of hotfixes has also started, and the Remnant of the Blood Moon event should go

faster now--its health is 1000, down from 10,000. This encounter drops the
Vial of Red Goo
toy.
Demon Hunter Crest Art, Darkmoon Faire In Town and Charts (September 6th - 13th)
Demon Hunter Crest Art
Chris Robinson
, Senior Art Director at Blizzard Entertainment, is
attending THU2015
--"Burning Man Meets TED" for artists. Their
Facebook
recently announced that he'll be one of the panel speakers and uploaded some of his art for Blizzard--gryphons, dwarves, pandaren. One piece really stood out that we haven't seen before.
On the
Facebook page
as well as the
artist page on the website
, an image has been uploaded which looks like a possible
Demon Hunter
crest, the new class in
Legion
. Several years ago, there was a series of crests made for all other classes, which we use on our
class hub pages
.
We do not know how and when this artwork will be used in the future
but it looks awesome so we figured we'd share it!
The
Darkmoon Faire
is back in town and runs from
September 6th - 13th
.
There is one new toy sold at the Faire in 6.2.2:
Darkmoon Seesaw
by
Gelvas Grimegate
for 50
Darkmoon Prize Ticket
. This seesaw summons the pacifist ogre
Lunk
who throws you off the seesaw. You can also ride the seesaw with another friend, and when you dismount, you'll get the
Childlike Wonder
which shrinks you.
The Darkmoon Faire is a great place for collectors, and with the addition of the
Darkmoon Seesaw
we're up to:
19 Battle Pets
,
16 Toys
, and
2 Mounts
. Check out our full post more more information on the Faire and charts as to which items most Wowhead users have collected.
