Exploration Guide: The Relic Hunter
We had a lot of fun on beta tracking down these hidden objects with cool weapons and recipes for
Is Another Man's Treasure
, so we finally turned all of our observations into a guide!
In this guide, you'll find:
Zone maps with pins for all objects, that take you to their page when clicked on.
Screenshots of all items/objects.

Coordinates for all items, that open a new map when clicked on.

5.2 PTR: New Legendary and Isle of Giants Quests, Zandalari Rare Spawns
Today's PTR news is all about vanity items: rare Zandalari spawns were added to the PTR which have a chance to drop mounts, quests were added to the Isle of Giants allowing you to get mounts and pets, and we've also datamined some legendary and elite battle pet quests.
If you're looking for raid news, we'll have
video coverage of the January 11th testing
up when Lore from
Tankspot
gets to run it!
Vanity Quests
Isle of Giants
is a mysterious zone that we knew was home to the rare elite
Oondasta
, but now we know it has another purpose. It's the place you go to farm
Giant Dinosaur Bone
to get a unique mount and pet! 9999 bones seems a bit extreme, especially since the bones only stack to 500, so this could be changed in a future PTR build--the takeaway message here is that this area has grindy quests with cool rewards. As Alliance, I'm excited about that raptor mount!

Mote of Harmony

Patch 5.1: New Rare Tames
Over 100 low-level rares were also added in the most recent patch--many have distinctive colors that make them unique Hunter tames. In addition, Arcane Wyrms are now tamable serpents, and several received recolors for more variation.
If you're not a Hunter, these new rares don't drop any fancy loot, but they do give a significant amount of experience for killing them. The list is fun just to browse as well because many have clever names, like
Gib the Banana-Hoarder
, a monkey with a fez.
We've broken down the rares by continent and level, including zone details and 3D models, as well as by pet family. Tames with unique colors/models are marked in italics.

Mists of Pandaria Rare Spawns: Lost and Found Preview
We covered the
rare spawns of Pandaria
a few weeks ago, and thought it was cool how they dropped a bunch of unique vanity items like
Mr. Smite's Brass Compass
. We thought Blizzard really outdid themselves by returning to some of the detailed insanity of vanilla with quirky rare spawns.
Well, there's more.
For the
Lost and Found
Exploration achievement series, you'll loot rare items that are just
lying around
Pandaria--pulling them out of trees, opening boxes, exploring caves. It's like hunting for a rare spawns' loot, except the NPC step has been cut out! As for what you'll find:
BoA rare weapons--some with unique models for transmog.
Fun recipes including
Four Senses Brew
that gives the illusion that your character is wearing a red
Cursed Vision of Sargeras
(casters rejoice!)
Vendor trash like
Ancient Pandaren Woodcutter
with joking flavor text.
Useful profession perks like
Ancient Pandaren Fishing Lure
.
BoP rares, usually looted from a chest.
Items are still being added--there were several in the most recent patch--so right now not every object listed
