Too much adulting this week - only got to level 70 in shaman challenge
Update on the restore/switch faction bug
INCOMING: New mic
Mike
Shaman to 50.
200 mounts!
Hallow’s End
Got 150 treats in one night.
Naxxy!
The trick to doing the wickerman - invisibility items. Instant vs. casting time.
Trying to get the headless horseman mount - how many years has it been?
This week in WoW
Black Temple timewalking - dropping base i900 items, NOT i930
Hallow’s End
Tricky Treats - Headless Horseman, daily quests, candy buckets. Use to buy masks, costumes for you or for pets (there’s three pug costumes and one Pepe skin), consumables, pets (Naxx, Sinister Squashling, Cursed Birman, Feline Familiar or Widget the Departed), heirloom upgrades (armor casings), and toys (horse head and tail, Little Wickerman)
Wickerman (Grim Visage) buffs for baby shamans (10% exp and rep for 2 hours)!
XP bonus applies to mob kills only - doesn’t increase XP from quest turnins or pet battles (“Apply Aura: mod Experience Gained %(mob kills only)”).
Rep bonuses: does work with Legion tokens and other commendations in the game, and does stack with human’s 10% exp racial ability
New this year: Naxxy, undead companion pet (150 Tricky Treats)
New costume - Xavius (200 treats)
New front and back end of a horse
Headless Horseman drops 880 loot
Magic Broom - 25% drop rate out of Horseman’s stash
mount - 0.5%
880 gear includes a sword (kind of silly for anything other than transmog), helm, and rings
News
Elysium shuts down because someone was taking home 2000 euros/month and someone else was running a gold selling service.
Patch 8.0 made a (very) brief appearance on beta servers

| 0:16.4 | Podcast. Podcast in all of Azerop. This is World Broadcast episode 263. |
| 0:20.4 | I'm Michael Gaines. |
| 0:21.6 | And I'm Renaud |
| 0:22.7 | Hi Renaud how are you? |
| 0:24.7 | Well, I didn't get to play much this week. |
| 0:27.7 | Why would happen? |
| 0:30.7 | Ah, too much adulting. |
| 0:32.3 | A don't too much adulting. Isn't adulting terrible? Yeah, well in this case you know you've got kids who are growing up into adults and I have adult parents who are turning into kids. So unfortunately I |
| 0:48.0 | ended up having to go up and meet with a lot of lawyers and accountants and things like that because on top of everything |
| 0:55.6 | that I'm going through with my mom my dad was just diagnosed with mid-stage Alzheimer's. |
| 1:02.0 | Oh no. |
| 1:03.2 | So, well, it's no surprise to us. |
| 1:06.2 | And I mean, he's been losing his memory and, you know, his cognitive issues for quite a long time but to get the diagnosis is good |

| 1:32.0 | how to do them first. So I only got back fairly late yesterday. |
| 1:38.3 | Fortunately I was able to get enough order resources that I was able to get work on my newly |
| 1:46.5 | alliance restored mage that I've been playing a bit I'll talk a little bit about |
| 1:52.3 | the ongoing issues with that bug that I ran |
