Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Tragically the following twink item quest rewards used for the 19 bracket are currently unobtainable because of faulty requirements.


Arctic Buckler (Blackfathom Villainy): http://db.vanillagaming.org/?item=7002 (only bugged for Alliance)

Gravestone Scepter (Blackfathom Villainy): http://db.vanillagaming.org/?item=7001 (only bugged for Alliance)

Glacial Stone (Raene's Cleansing): http://db.vanillagaming.org/?item=5815


Obviously fixing the requirements would be trivial. The difficult part is proving that they are indeed bugged, i.e., that those quests should be completable at 19 in Vanilla.

What makes it especially difficult to find early sources is that those battleground brackets were added relatively late in Vanilla (Patch 1.8.0 for 10-19). Naturally it would take a while for this sort of twinking to actually take off and then still not everyone would have known that they can even get those specific items.

Nonetheless after some google research and searching through some ancient unindexed forum posts I believe I have found rather compelling evidence. If anyone has further evidence please let me know so I can add it. Hopefully this will be enough so that we might eventually be able to enjoy these wonderful iconic twinking items in a blizzlike manner on Nostalrius.

Look it up on thottbot. Also keep in mind you can get an Arctic Buckler from the quest Blackfathom Villainy which has the highest armor and block in this bracket"

So are the requirements from db.vanillagaming.org the same requirements on Nostalrius? I'm under the impression you checked all of these quests in-game before posting this.

It seems likely. I've only checked that they can't be accepted at the level they should though, not when they actually can.

Edit: maybe also worth mentioning, ED and Kronos seem to both have them available (http://realmplayers.com/CharacterViewer ... layer=Odin, http://realmplayers.com/CharacterViewer ... Virologist ...)

The general forum is not the bug tracker.

well we already MADE a post on bugtracker proving that its bugged and that twinks should be able to get these weapons- in fact I did..Months ago. Still no update :/.

You look like you'd have an entire account dedicated to twinks... rofl

I remember those damn big game hunters bows from retail twinking, those things are SOOOO GOOD

The reqs on db.vanillagaming.org are wrong. In fact a lot of the information that is incorrect came straight from other servers running the same software.

Example: http://db.vanillagaming.org/?npc=36

This guy never dropped khadgars, EVER, yet here they dropped khadgars(patched months ago though) are 100% simply because one bugged loot table transferred over to us.

I never said the requirements on db.vaniillagaming.org were correct. I was asking if the requirements were the same as VG's DB just to see if he picked up the quests at all. I never use VGs DB for references other than quest chains and the like.

After bwl patch Raptor Tunic and Master Hunter Gun are obtainable. I have them on my 29 twink
