Recommended Posts

VsP2WKf.jpg

WoW Secrets community on Discord discovered the secret Lucid NightmareLucid Nightmare mount.

Lucid NightmareLucid Nightmare is a new secret mount added in Patch 7.3 that drops from Puzzler's Desire. It's very similar to the Riddler's Mind-WormRiddler's Mind-Worm riddle of Patch 7.2, discovered by the WoW Secrets community on Discord. Past discoveries of the community include Sun Darter HatchlingSun Darter Hatchling pet and recently they discovered, how Hunters can tame Panthara pets.

Lucid Nightmare Mount Preview

Lucid NightmareLucid Nightmare is a ground mount that can be unlocked, once the riddle is complete. Yesterday, the community found the final clue and players were able to get their mount.

How to Get The Mount (Updated)

Clue 1

Go to Dalaran (50.73, 54.07) and click the Inconspicuous Note on the table (upstairs). It reads:

"It begins in the 2104059.

With a most pleasing sign.

(These letters will not always rhyme.)"

2104059 is the anagram for Ulduar's release date.

Clue 2

Take the Dalaran portal to Shrine in Pandaria and from there to old Dalaran. Enter Ulduar and defeat the first two bosses - Flame Leviathan and XT-002 Deconstructor. After dealing with the annoying trash, go to 45, 12 and pull the Rusty Lever on the robot's head.

This will spawn a 20x20 maze that needs to be solved. Players can interact with the lights and turn them green. You need to create the "Pleasing Sign" mentioned in the first clue.

Start by creating a cross and then adjust the lights according to the following the screenshot posted by WoW Secrets member Pudschu#2779.

Once completed, the maze will disappear and a new Inconspicuous Note will spawn in the center of the room.

It reads:

"1000 years imprisoned.

Surely it wears on the mind."

Clue 3

The next clue is located in Temple of Ahn'Qiraj in the final room after C'thun (43, 64). Viscidus can be a nightmare, but as an Elemental Shaman, it is enough to spam Frost ShockFrost Shock until Viscidus gets frozen (pay attention to the chat), then, summon your Earth ElementalEarth Elemental, lust and melee with The Fist of Ra-denThe Fist of Ra-den until the boss dies. Clear the whole Temple and go to (43, 64). You will find a Mind Larva on the table. Clicking it will begin a "Bejeweled game". When completed, a new Inconspicuous Note will spawn near the Mind Larva.

It reads:

"Deeper than deep.

Awaits your seat."

Clue 4

Take the Dalaran portal to Orgrimmar / Stormwind and go to Cataclysm portals and port to Deepholm. Go to the cave at 57, 24.

Enter it, go past the worm. You will get dismounted first, but note that you are able to mount again in the worm room, so there's no need to hide.

Turn right and go to 63.83, 22.44, where you come across a Dark Fissure.

WoWScrnShot_090117_151517.jpg

Selecting the dialog option will display the following warning:

"You are about to fall into a dark fissure. You may not be able to climb back out again. Are you very sure you want to do this?"

You will now enter a cave with a chair and a skull that cannot be interacted with.

A Dingy Plaque is attached to the chair with a hint:

"<The plaque is old and barely legible.

You can only make out fragments of each line of text.>

Supremacy?

Get...

Shirk...

...eke..."

It took a while to solve the anagram, but it's absolutely necessary to mention an epic meme from WoW Secrets Discord:

A really cool reference is that the clue: "get, shirk, eke" from the plaque is an anagram for "irk the geeks" and there are different variations of the text for every localization. At first, the community tried to add letters to the clue to interact with the strange skull, but to no avail.

The solution was "Racksum Greep is the key". Racksum Greep can be found in Ratchet at around 70, 70. Blizzard went extremely sneaky here, because instead of adding a new NPC, they replaced the skin of an existing one (note the id = 13602 and wowdb not listing the mob under "added in 7.3" filters).

WoWScrnShot_090117_185252.jpg

Racksum Greep wears a Shadoweave MaskShadoweave Mask and you will need one in order to interact with the Strange Skull in the Deepholm cave. Muffinus confirmed on Twitter that Pattern: Shadoweave MaskPattern: Shadoweave Mask is obtainable and you can make a lot of gold by selling Shadoweave MaskShadoweave Masks in the coming days.

This is amazing. I'm not sure what I'm more impressed by; Blizzard's creativity and sneakiness or the community's combined minds to unbend it!

I'd have to say both and I think they feed off of one another. Blizzard keeps getting sneakier but the community still figures it out which makes Blizzard try even sneakier stuff.

Pretty awesome and great fun in my way of thinking.

      Here comes a huge batch of hotfixes, as the big class tuning pass arrives with the new patch! The many PvE and PvP changes are joined by the Tome of Unstable Power nerf, as well as plenty of Cataclysm Classic changes.
      May 7 (Source)
      Classes
      Demon Hunter Vengeance Sigil of Silence duration reduced to 4 seconds (was 5 seconds). Sigil of Silence cooldown increased to 90 seconds (was 60 seconds). Cycle of Binding now reduces Sigil cooldowns by 2 seconds per trigger (was 3 seconds). Soul Cleave damage reduced by 8%. Druid Balance Season 4 (2) Set Bonus now increases the damage of your next Wrath or Starfire by 50% (was 30%). Season 4 (2) Set Bonus new reduces the Astral Power cost of your next Starsurge or Starfall by 30 (was 15) and increases the damage it does by 60% (was 40%). Monk Brewmaster Keg Smash damage reduced by 10%. Spinning Crane Kick damage reduced by 10%. Summon White Tiger Statue damage reduced by 30%. The effectiveness of Stagger against magical attacks increased to 55% (was 45%). Healing Sphere healing increased by 10%. Rogue Assassination Ability and auto-attack damage increased by 6%. Does not affect PvP combat. Fixed an issue that caused the Assassination Rogue Season 3/Season 4 bonus to do slightly less damage than intended. Warlock Affliction Doom Blossom damage increased by 10%. Vile Taint damage increased by 25%. Soul Flame damage increased by 20%. Soul Rot damage increased by 5%.

Season 4 Set Bonus (2): Rampage damage and critical strike chance increased by 15% (was 12%). Season 4 Set Bonus (4): Bloodthirst bonus damage increased to 35% per stack (was 30%). Protection Developers’ notes: Our goal for these changes is to reduce Protection Warrior deaths to the dangers that are most likely to kill them, like burst or magic damage. There are some talents that warriors have for protection against these threats, like Disrupting Shout, Bolster, or Battle-Scarred Veteran, but it can be difficult to find the talent points for them. To provide more build flexibility we are reducing the power of the Battering Ram talent and moving its damage and defensive benefits into core abilities. We’re also increasing damage across the board and buffing some defensive talent options. All ability damage increased by 5%. Devastator damage increased by 30%. Ignore Pain healing increased by 6%. Disrupting Shout’s cooldown reduced to 75 seconds (was 90 seconds). Enduring Alacrity increases Stamina and Armor by 10% (was 5%) and Haste by 2% (was 1%).

Unholy Death Coil damage increased by 75% in PvP combat (was 60%). Festering Wound damage increased by 190% in PvP combat (was 180%). Frost Fever damage increased by 25% in PvP combat. Druid Balance Moonkin Aura’s Starsurge now grants 2% increased spell critical strike chance per stack (was 4%). Evoker Preservation Time of Need healing reduced by 25% in PvP combat. Hunter Marksmanship Rapid Fire damage increased by 45% in PvP combat (was 30%). Aimed Shot damage increased by 55% in PvP combat (was 40%). Sniper Shot now deals 15% of the target’s health (was 20%).

Priest Discipline Atonement healing increased by 11% in PvP combat. Power Word: Radiance healing increased by 10% in PvP combat. Shadow Word: Pain and Purge the Wicked damage increased by 15% in PvP combat. Holy Spirit of the Redeemer now reduces the duration of Spirit of Redemption by 9 seconds (was 8 seconds). Mana regeneration is now reduced by 40% in PvP combat (was 35%). Rogue Assassination Kingsbane instant damage reduced by 32% in PvP combat (was 20%). Kingsbane damage over time reduced by 8% in PvP combat (was 20%). Improved Garrote damage bonus now reduced to 20% in PvP combat (was 30%).

Execute damage is now increased by 80% in PvP combat (was 65%). Cataclysm Classic
      Legendary appearances may now be added to your Transmogrification collection. In anticipation of community response to this change, we have also added a pitchfork. Fixed an issue that would cause the Monstrous Clams in the quest “Clammy Hands” to be non-interactive. Fixed an issue that prevented Naralex and his discipline from correctly spawning in the Southern Barrens. Druid Thrash now benefits from and consumes the Clearcasting effect from Omen of Clarity. Fixed an issue where Blessing of Kings and Mark of the Wild were incorrectly stacking their stat increases. Fixed an issue where level 80 boosted characters were not properly learning their class and spec’s Mastery abilities. Prayer of Mending now scales by the intended amount from spell power. Conflagrate will no longer consume lower-rank Immolates belonging to other Warlocks. Player versus Player Fixed a bug causing Resilience to do much less mitigation than intended.

      Blizzard have announced they're working on a fix for the Group Finder not working properly and should have a fix ready tonight or early tomorrow, but also outlined a temporary workaround that should fix the issues right now.
      Here's what one of the issues looks like:
    • By Starym
      It's another wild patch launch, with some very interesting and... specific bugs. Players have been reporting some of their equipped items items just randomly turning into level 1 statless ones, for seemingly no reason at all.
      A few players first reported the issue a short while after patch launch, and we got a direct look at the rather big downgrade a little after that, as  shared this screenshot:
      While not all affected players are sharing the exact details, some of them specify that this is happening on alts, and relatively low item level Dragonflight gear, so the issue may be limited to those items alone. It's also unclear whether this is just a display bug or an actual nerf to the stats, but apparently it's also affecting quest rewards!

      Source: Desicas
      There are also a few reports over on the official forums, but there aren't that many for now, so hopefully it's only affecting a few players. This seems like one of those issues that will be resolved pretty quickly, so there probably isn't too much reason for concern.
      Perhaps this is all part of Xal'atath's schemes?

      The 'Door to the Ren'dorei' quest on live servers is experiencing a bug where Alleria won't open a portal. Try abandoning the quest and reattempting for a fix. Additionally, there are tagging issues with 'The Path Taken' quest.
      The Door to the Ren'dorei quest where Alleria opens a portal in the Chamber of Dalaran is currently bugged and Alleria doesn't do anything. If you see a lot of players stuck in the area, simply, abandon the quest, return to Alleria and pick it up again. Then, the portal should be visible and work.

      We're also seeing a return to the classic Vanilla-style mechanics in the "The Path Taken" quest. For this one, you’ll need to either patiently wait your turn or quickly use all your abilities to tag the mobs. Only the player who tags the mobs first will receive credit, and you need to secure tags on three different groups of mobs. Therefore, try joining a group before attempting this portion of the quest.
