As Jacemora has pointed out, if you’ve already gotten a wintersaber, you’ll find yourself on the brand new primo Venomhide Ravasaur without having to do a month of dailies.

But I’d point out that even loosing a faction at exalted for the achievement isn’t -so- bad because while you won’t just be given Tranquillen rep, it’s in the belf 10-20 zone and is suitably easy, if mindless to grind. Just takes the ability to kill level 10s fast. Not too bad at 80. ;)

Magazine is a no-go for me but the faction change sounds very appealing. I will use it for my Draenei Priest who I’m now pretty bored with. I think a chance of face (and faction) would do me good and help reinvigorate me.

It says it’s a quarterly publication, so really you only get 4 issues?

Winterspring Frostsaber will trade for the new Ravasaur mount and the other way around holds true as well. However, if you are Alliance and switch to Horde you will no longer be exalted with the trainers faction so that will be one less faction you have with exalted in case you are going for an achievement.

Aye, been contemplating myself on whether to do this. But I decided agaisnt it for a couple of reasons, One I like being a Night Elf and wo Im currently working on Loremaster (600/700 Kalimdor and them I am done!!!) and I have no idea how that would translate over. Horde be damned if I have to revist all those old zones again (really makes you appredciate how vital Cataclsyn revamp is). Also guildies and friends ofc :)

“Not that I would ever do this. Oh, no. Oh, not me.”

Come to the Tauren side, Together we can rid the world of the jerk that is Varian (right after we kill Garrosh) :D

They have said the magazine is intended ot be lile a coffee table type deal. So high quality paper, artwork, lore that sort of thing. I’m waiting to see the first issue before I make a decision on it.

Eluniar, I know what you’re saying. That, aside from any specifics concerning the Faction Change equivalents, that Horde side can perform a faction rep grind for the Razzashi Raptor, which is Horde only, much as the Winterspring faction is available to Alliance only.

What I’m saying is that if you currently are Alliance and have been working on your Winterspring rep for the mount, that Blizzard has specifically said that the faction will not convert over.

Now, I have no idea if any MOUNT you’ve received will translate to a raptor. That would be covered under pets and items, and there WAS a list of pets per faction, and how they convert. I’ll be darn curious to see how exactly that will work.

Not that I would ever do this. Oh, no. Oh, not me.

Correction Bear, there is a Winterspring equivalent. The Razzashi Raptor.

I’m wondering about these faction changes … on my server Alliance is pretty weak compared to Horde, AND it’s a PvP server. I can see all the frustrated, halfway decent Allies transferring to Horde and just making the situation that much worse.

It for reading while pooping. The Blizzcast does not make me hopeful for a Blizzard based media project.
