So what did Velious bring?

You need more than a DA Idol to get from Aary to PoM. Especially without 1min selos.

Seems like a few are forgetting Abashi also.

Apologies, I had written "Anyone with a DA Idol+pocket bard" but apparently cut it out :X

I lead countless PuG raids in Kael doing giants during early velious. They were some of the funnest raids, everyone got great loots, and I wasn't even guilded! If I can get up to 60 and have the time, I'd love to do this again.

I hope the BFG quest is implemented in its original early form. If so, I look forward to the forum drama from the folks who turn it in expecting a BFG and receive something of a rude shock. Folks don't seem to remember, by and large, how raw and unfinished Velious was when it first opened. The expansion only became really good after 5-6 months of tweaks.

Assuming things are implemented correctly, whoever first kills Avatar of War and receives a shiny Blade of Carnage will also be in for a shock.

If the BFG quest rewards those weapons people will just hold on to the quest items until the reward is changed to BFG. It uses the same items, just a different reward, so whatever.

And yes raid guilds know that a lot of Velious loot sucks at first like Blade of Carnage (which sucks forever).

Don't worry, the Grinch has already started a public awareness campaign on the BoC.

My server did this as well on live, however... It will be MUCH different here.
