Baron run #19…  still no mount.  I now am a proud level 80 Death Knight and really think that I would look like a much cooler Death Knight on Baron’s steed.  I have to be perfectly honest: nothing bothers me more in the game now than seeing a random rogue in greens with Baron’s mount.  The 1/1000 drop rate doesn’t deter me though as I move into Baron run #20.  The random drop of epic items is what makes the PvE portion of WoW so entertaining. 

Wrath has introduced a phenomenal selection of new loot to drool over.  Emblems at 80, which replaced badges at 70, now offer tier 7 for sale.  Naxx has some revamped weapons and armor with models from the original level 60 Naxx dungeon.  Need a new weapon?  Heroic Halls of Lightning offers a sweet 2 handed axe with warrior-ish stats.  Heroic Utgarde Pinnacle offers a very nice 1 handed tank sword.  The sword, for the record, looks beast on my Death Knight.   

Of all the MMO’s that I’ve played, WoW has the widest variety of item art.  The variety amongst all the weapons is fantastic (most of the armor…the Wrath armor is starting to get stale for me though I am hoping Bliz updates the look of a few pieces).  I still have Quel Serrar sitting in my warrior’s bank.  But, what is great about the game is that Blizzard continues to develop and add items.   

I know a few raid groups on my server have already bested all the top raid instances.  I feel kind of bad that they have to wait for new loot to be introduced into the game for something to look forward to!  I have a feeling that I won’t be the only person farming Baron’s mount in the very near future. 

What is your favorite piece so far in Wrath?  How about in WoW?  My top favorite item in WoW has recently become the baby blizzard bear…so cute!  But, my favorite item as far as looks continues to be Ashkandi from Blackwing Lair.  I just really loved the look and the sword has kind of stuck with me as the best!
