Patch 8.3 Survival Guide https://www.wowhead.com/news=305319/patch-8-3-visions-of-nzoth-survival-guide-giveaway The third major Battle for Azeroth content patch, Visions of N'Zoth, will be releasing on January 14th (US) / 15th (EU). This new content patch will include N'Zoth Assaults in two zones: Uldum and Vale of Eternal Blossoms. N'Zoth has taken over and Corrupted these areas. Taking part in these Assaults will earn you reputation with the Uldum Accord and Rajani and earn you a new currency: Coalescing Visions. Wrathion returns in this Patch, starting off with a long Introduction Questline that will act as a tutorial for the major systems of this patch. This includes his own legendary cloak Ashjra'kamas, Shroud of Resolve and a plan to enter and take down the Horrific Visions of N'zoth. Titanforging is being removed for all Patch 8.3 content and replaced by Corrupted Gear which will provide you with powerful effects, but at a cost. Participating in Horrific Visions will allow you to upgrade Wrathion's Legendary Cloak, helping you to combat some of the negative effects of the Corrupted gear. In addition, new Essences are being added for all roles, as well as new recipes for Professions. Two new Allied Races are being added to the game: Vulpera for the Horde and Mechagnomes for the Alliance.

Maybe now would be a good time to remind everyone that guildie Sakic is conducting a game-wide kill bounty contest for the last boss. The prize is a billion credits. Dates and other specifics have not been announced yet, but they will be on SWTOR Escape Pod Cast soon. Speaking of operations, we have a new team that meets on Sunday nights on the Imperial side. Their team name is TACO (Total Annihilation Clearing Ops). They are off to a good start, but are still in need of one DPS. If you would like to run with TACO on Sunday nights, contact Albus via discord. This past Tuesday, the guild celebrated the launch of the first episode of The Mandalorian by having a bounty hunter-themed MFN. We dressed up in our best mando armor and had a beach party (of course). Afterwards, we roamed the galaxy wreaking havoc on world bosses.

You can find Holly on Twitter @HollyFields1 and on Instagram @holly_fields1 NOMADS Play Outer Worlds, the best Fallout of recent years. Diablo IV was announced at Blizzcon and is a much darker version of Diablo, more like Diablo II in tone and graphically play. It will also be an open world, so much so, that you will need mounts to travel through the world. There is a hub city where you can meet other players, show off your armor/weapons as well as a PvP area. WoW Noob Raid will be running the Anniversary Event (LFR) that launches on Tuesday. Reminder that Noob Raid runs on Saturday at 11pm Eastern. Blizzcon Wrap Up New expansion, entitled Shadowlands, was announced and is up for pre-sale. There are 3 tiers, so read carefully what’s in each. Level squish is coming, Level 120 becomes level 50, and you’ll level 50-60 in Shadowlands. Levels 1-10 will be in the race specific starting area OR you can choose to level in the new level 1-10 zone that people new to the game will also start in. Once you level 10, you’ll go visit Chromie and be given the choice of which expansion you want to level through. You can choose Mists of Pandaria, and you will level 10-50 in Pandaria, with the option to move to another expansion, however you will start at the beginning of the story of that expansion. Your first character through Shadowlands will have to do all the zones, but once you finish the story, any alts will start with all endgame content unlocked at level 50 and can start progressing through it immediately. They can also choose which zone they want to level in, unlike your first character which will be going through zones in a specific order. If you want to read a ton of good write-ups, visit https://blizzardwatch.com/2019/11/03/blizzcon-2019-roundup/ and enjoy! WoW Classic Reminder that Sunday, November 17th is the AIE Guild Craft Faire, we are still looking for donations, gatherers, and helpers for the faire. Please contact @Nevermore in #wow-classic channel or in game. https://aie-guild.

A "Guildie Gram" is based on the candy gram fundraisers that schools organize for holidays like Valentine's Day where someone sends a special note with candy or flowers to friends & teachers. We love the spirit of community that everyone has shown in WoW Classic since launch. We want to continue this momentum going forward! There are a lot of reasons you could send a Guildie Gram: * Someone went out of their way to help you with a quest you couldn't have finished alone * Thank someone for helping you with profession mats or creating an item you needed * You heard someone was having a rough day and just wanted to make them smile The Guildie Gram will include: - Your personal message - Savory Deviate Delight x 1 (A treat that turns you into a pirate or a ninja when you eat it!) * Guildie Grams are able to be ordered by Horde members of AIE in WoW Classic on Pagle-US. * They will be mailed 1-3 days after the order form is filled out and in game payment is received. There are many reasons to spread kindness and positive messages with each other. Think outside the box and send a Guildie Gram to some of your fellow AIE guildies today! <3
