• Blizzard Releases Bosstiary for Frozen Halls -
  Surrounding the live release of Ulduar, Blizzard released what they called a
  Bosstiary which gave you details you don't get in-game like the exact origin of
  the bosses what they are doing where they are and why you must fight them. Now
  Blizz has released the same thing for The Frozen Halls, patch 3.3's collection
  of new Icecrown 5-man dungeons. The latest Bosstiary serves as an encyclopedia of sorts for the various
  bosses in these dungeons complete with maps indicating boss positions and all
  the info you need to know exactly who you're fighting and why they must be
  destroyed!
• Shadowmourne is Revealed - The latest PTR build
  revealed the stats for the game's newest Legendary weapon, Shadowmourne. The
  notable features include a +223 strength bonus, 344.1 base DPS, three red
  sockets and a pretty sweet proc. The sockets combined and socketed with a Bold
  Cardinal Ruby each will yeild an impressive 68 additional strength and the proc
  stacks for up to 360 additional strength before firing off a damage effect and
  resetting to 0. Needless to say, this Item Level 284 axe is the BEST two-handed
  melee weapon Warcraft has seen to date!
• Comic Corner - The newsletters have been getting
  pretty lengthy, so I have decided to move the Comic Corner over to our blog.
  Each week I will still put this section in the newsletter, but all the awesome
  belly-laugh links will be posted in the blog entry. So head on over to the blog to see the latest from favorites like Dark Legacy, NoObz,
  NPC and more!
• New Epic Ammo on the PTR - Some good news coming
  for Hunters with patch 3.3 in the form of new craftable epic ammo. The new Iceblade Arrows and
  Shatter Rounds
  are both available right now on the PTR to engineers who are honored with the
  Ashen Verdict (the new Icecrown Faction). Both of these add a whopping 91.5
  damage to ranged weapon DPS and are BoE, so all you need is an engineer buddy
  and some pretty cheap mats and you can have yourself some epic ammo awesomeness!
• Lots of New PvE Items Arriving With 3.3 - It seems
  that with each and every patch Blizzard sets out to outdo themselves on the new
  items front. With patch 3.1 we were all oooing and awwwing over the fact that
  with the release of the Argent Tournament and Ulduar there were about 800 new
  PvE items added to the game. Well, that number pales in comparison to the 1400
  that are coming with Patch 3.3! While the most impressive item is, of course, Shadowmourne, I must
  say that as a pretty much PvE only player the thought of 1400 more items makes
  me all warm and fuzzy inside!
• Movie of the Week - This is another section I have
  decided to move off to the blog in the interest of saving space and trimming
  down the size of our newsletters. I have a couple movies this week for Warcraft
  fans and I think everyone will enjoy them, so head on over to the blog and take a peak!
• Armored Frost Wyrm Mounts From Icecrown - Blizzard
  poster Ancilorn confirmed this week in a Post on the WoW EU Forums that the previously data-mined
  Armored Frost Wirm Mounts will be rewards doled out to dedicated Icecrown
  raiders in 3.3's live release. Assumably these will be earned much in the same
  way as Ulduar Drakes, for completing an Icecrown meta-acheivement. The Frost
  Wyrm will offer it's rider a 310% increase in flying speed!
• Pilgrim's Bounty is Here! - WoW's new holiday,
  Pilgrim's Bounty, is now live on all realms offering players the opportunity to
  stuff themselves with festive food in pursuit of the Pilgrim title and the super
  adorable turkey pet (awww). I think this holiday was well done by Blizzard with
  the abundance of holiday related mobs and plentiful cooking recipes. This one is
  however not part of the What a Long, Strange Trip it's Been meta-acheivement so
  I wonder if it will get the attention it deserves? I would definitely suggest
  you check it out!
