Recommended Posts

WoW Secrets community on Discord discovered the secret Lucid NightmareLucid Nightmare mount.

Lucid NightmareLucid Nightmare is a new secret mount added in Patch 7.3 that drops from Puzzler's Desire. It's very similar to the Riddler's Mind-WormRiddler's Mind-Worm riddle of Patch 7.2, discovered by the WoW Secrets community on Discord. Past discoveries of the community include Sun Darter HatchlingSun Darter Hatchling pet and recently they discovered, how Hunters can tame Panthara pets.

Lucid Nightmare Mount Preview

Lucid NightmareLucid Nightmare is a ground mount that can be unlocked, once the riddle is complete. Yesterday, the community found the final clue and players were able to get their mount.

How to Get The Mount (Updated)

Clue 1

Go to Dalaran (50.73, 54.07) and click the Inconspicuous Note on the table (upstairs). It reads:

"It begins in the 2104059.

With a most pleasing sign.

(These letters will not always rhyme.)"

2104059 is the anagram for Ulduar's release date.

Clue 2

Take the Dalaran portal to Shrine in Pandaria and from there to old Dalaran. Enter Ulduar and defeat the first two bosses - Flame Leviathan and XT-002 Deconstructor. After dealing with the annoying trash, go to 45, 12 and pull the Rusty Lever on the robot's head.

This will spawn a 20x20 maze that needs to be solved. Players can interact with the lights and turn them green. You need to create the "Pleasing Sign" mentioned in the first clue.

Start by creating a cross and then adjust the lights according to the following the screenshot posted by WoW Secrets member Pudschu#2779.

Once completed, the maze will disappear and a new Inconspicuous Note will spawn in the center of the room.

It reads:

"1000 years imprisoned.

Surely it wears on the mind."

Clue 3

The next clue is located in Temple of Ahn'Qiraj in the final room after C'thun (43, 64). Viscidus can be a nightmare, but as an Elemental Shaman, it is enough to spam Frost ShockFrost Shock until Viscidus gets frozen (pay attention to the chat), then, summon your Earth ElementalEarth Elemental, lust and melee with The Fist of Ra-denThe Fist of Ra-den until the boss dies. Clear the whole Temple and go to (43, 64). You will find a Mind Larva on the table. Clicking it will begin a "Bejeweled game". When completed, a new Inconspicuous Note will spawn near the Mind Larva.

It reads:

"Deeper than deep.

Awaits your seat."

Clue 4

Take the Dalaran portal to Orgrimmar / Stormwind and go to Cataclysm portals and port to Deepholm. Go to the cave at 57, 24.

Enter it, go past the worm. You will get dismounted first, but note that you are able to mount again in the worm room, so there's no need to hide.

Turn right and go to 63.83, 22.44, where you come across a Dark Fissure.

WoWScrnShot_090117_151517.jpg

Selecting the dialog option will display the following warning:

"You are about to fall into a dark fissure. You may not be able to climb back out again. Are you very sure you want to do this?"

You will now enter a cave with a chair and a skull that cannot be interacted with.

A Dingy Plaque is attached to the chair with a hint:

"<The plaque is old and barely legible.

You can only make out fragments of each line of text.>

Supremacy?

Get...

Shirk...

...eke..."

It took a while to solve the anagram, but it's absolutely necessary to mention an epic meme from WoW Secrets Discord:

A really cool reference is that the clue: "get, shirk, eke" from the plaque is an anagram for "irk the geeks" and there are different variations of the text for every localization. At first, the community tried to add letters to the clue to interact with the strange skull, but to no avail.

The solution was "Racksum Greep is the key". Racksum Greep can be found in Ratchet at around 70, 70. Blizzard went extremely sneaky here, because instead of adding a new NPC, they replaced the skin of an existing one (note the id = 13602 and wowdb not listing the mob under "added in 7.3" filters).

Racksum Greep wears a Shadoweave MaskShadoweave Mask and you will need one in order to interact with the Strange Skull in the Deepholm cave. Muffinus confirmed on Twitter that Pattern: Shadoweave MaskPattern: Shadoweave Mask is obtainable and you can make a lot of gold by selling Shadoweave MaskShadoweave Masks in the coming days.

This is amazing. I'm not sure what I'm more impressed by; Blizzard's creativity and sneakiness or the community's combined minds to unbend it!

I'd have to say both and I think they feed off of one another. Blizzard keeps getting sneakier but the community still figures it out which makes Blizzard try even sneakier stuff.

Pretty awesome and great fun in my way of thinking.

Please see the rules on self-advertising. Considering every post you make is simply to publicise a video of yours, it seems you're breaching them. https://www.icy-veins.com/forums/topic/30480-self-advertisement-rules/

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
