      Reddit user Xiantivia came up with some interesting stats about the number of raids and encounters introduced in every WoW expansion up to now!
      Raids like Baradin Hold count as a single boss. Vanilla includes LBRS as a raid but with no bosses to avoid inflating the numbers since LBRS was later changed from a raid. Bonus bosses like Ra-Den in Heroic Throne of Thunder are included. Naxxramas is counted only once as a Vanilla raid and is omitted from Wrath of the Lich King. Raid size and difficulty are not considered in the statistics. The score is calculated by days per encounter divided by encounters per raid, providing a comparison across expansions.
      Vanilla and The Burning Crusade had a substantial number of raids, with 9 raids and 62 and 52 raid bosses respectively. Since then, the number of raids per expansion has decreased, with 3 raids becoming the new standard, as major .3 expansion patches are no longer released.
      The upcoming expansion, The War Within, is expected to follow this trend with no 11.3 patch. However, Blizzard has promised faster expansions, so we can hope that Midnight will arrive sooner rather than later!

      Grimtusk Fishing Hole, one of the requirements for Taivan (good boi mount), is available on live servers this week.
      Players who are working on unlocking Good Boy's Leash probably know the Grimtusk Fishing Hole has not been available since the week of May 1.  Fortunately, you can complete it to get credit towards Taking From Nature this week!

      Head to the Fyrakk Assault area in Azure Span (59 34) and complete the Net Worth quest offered by Gruff Fisher.
      If you can't see the quest chances are you don't have access to Ice Fishing.
      I'm not an avid angler myself, but one player suggests you should have the Secret Fishing Spots first before completing this quest, but those farming Taivan will possibly know.
      Ice Fishing (available at Renown 6 with Iskaara Tuskarr) requires you to craft an Iskaaran Ice Axe. You must loot Pickaxe Blade at 19 24 in Azure Span to do that. If you're using TomTom here are the exact coords where you'll find the item:
      /way #2024 19 24
      Check the Wowhead comments section for more details.
