Hey, remember Archaeology? Well, the man with the deep voice is back again to talk about it. If you're bored with Dragonflight or you’re one of those “must collect everything” people, Danta has another easy, but still time-consuming (as he points out himself) guide that can help you obtain a lot of rare items, pets and mounts from Archaeology!
One of the cooler things you can get is the Vial of the Sands recipe, which, once crafted, gets you the very unique Sandstone Drake mount! It actually turns you into a dragon so you can carry a person with/on you and it's getting Dynamic Flight in the upcoming War Within pre-patch. There are some other cool mounts as well, Ultramarine Qiraji Battle Tank and the Spirit of Eche'ro (which is an entirely separate thing in and of itself). And that's not even mentioning the many toys, pets, titles and transmogs you can get from it.
The method itself (which some of you may already be familiar with) involves using Mantid digsites and converting all MoP digsites into them with the Mantid Artifact Sonic Locator, which then lets you have plenty of Restored Artifacts to trade for whichever mount/item you're going for. You should check out the video for the full details and what you'll need to get.
You can see all the artifact types and rare items that may contain in his video description! Also, you can skip to 3:00 in the video to skip the Archaeology basics.

Blizzard has just posted a short story titled "A Whisper of Warning" about Alleria Windrunner and her new mission.
(Source)
Khadgar has dispatched Alleria Windrunner on a dark mission, one that portends an uncertain future for Azeroth. Before she departs, she visits her lost home of Silvermoon on a mission of peace and connection. Much remains unsaid between Alleria and her son, Arator—hindered by fear and misunderstanding—but Alleria would have her son know his mother and her intentions before a new evil threatens Azeroth again.
The afternoon sun filtered through the crimson leaves overhead as Alleria Windrunner walked the path toward Silvermoon City. In times past, happier times, she might have flown or used a portal to appear inside the city walls, but as it was, she approached warily, as if nearing a sleeping beast that did not wake gently. Once, she had defended these walls, these people. But now?
Now, to many, she was the source of danger.

On the War Within Alpha, Haughty Chicken has made an interesting observation on a Khaz Algar mural. This post contains spoilers.
It seems we might have a glimpse of a fifth Old God. Some theories from the community suggest that this could be Xal'atath's true form, especially since her whereabouts have been unknown since she aided N'Zoth in the Battle for Azeroth. Now she's back as a powerful villain going into the War Within expansion.
The mural further decipts the Old God creature trying to get ahold of a crystal that is very similar to the Hallowfall one.
Source: Twitter
Red Shirt Guy also pointed out that the crystals in Talador share striking similarities with those in Hallowfall, noting the resemblance in their runes.
Placeholder for tweet 1787108156155232260 What is this mysterious crystal? Could it be a Naaru vessel / crashed ship? Or is it simply the sword that Sargeras plunged into Azeroth? Let us know what you think down in the comments.

We're back to Aberrus in week 2 of Season 4, as the Awakened raids continue to rotate! As you'd expect, everything has changed, with only a few specs remaining close to where they were last week in Vault, so let's see the chaos unfold! One important thing to note is that not only are the rankings different because it's a different raid, gear is also piling up for players and so specs are getting better and better, so we should start seeing which specs are good in all three raids pretty soon.
Note: We are using Normalized scores instead of raw DPS for the Warcraft Logs rankings. The u.gg rankings at the bottom are raw DPS. Normalized scores take into account the outlier boss fights where certain specs could stack massive DPS (due to the nature of the fight, whether it's AoE spam or something else), which would then affect their overall score for the whole raid.
Mythic
Overall Damage 95th Percentile
The last time we looked at Aberrus, an Evoker was on top as well - but it wasn't the same one! Devastation takes advantage of the incorrect logging for Augmentation and grabs the top spot! Frost Mage is the overall leader in Season 4 so far, as it was in 3rd in Vault and now sits in 2nd. Unholy is very much up since last week, with Shadow actually sitting relatively stable behind it, up 3. Arms is also in the both-raids-top-10, gaining 4 spots in 5th, while Retribution rises up from the bottom half in Vault. Last week's/raid's No.1 finds itself down in 7th, but is still doing pretty well overall, while fellow Hunter Beast Mastery only drops 3. Arcane is another very stable spec, only moving 2 spots (up), while Subtlety closes out the top 10, coming in from the bottom half. Speaking of the bottom, Fury and Balance find themselves in the final 3, joining the permanent resident Augmentation.
95th percentile Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
Overall Damage All Percentiles
Deva is at the very top here as well, but we do see Arms doing a lot better. However, the Warrior was up very high in Vault as well, only gaining 1 spot this week and definitely carrying that "overall best" title for the generalist bracket in Season 4 so far. Retribution makes an even bigger giant leap here, with Frost Mage up a few spots, Beast Mastery extremely stable in the same No.5 slot, same as Shadow in No.6.
All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
Arms is at the very top in the direct damage chart, as we see three Fyr'alath wielders in the top 4, only disturbed by that pesky Evoker.
All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
Heroic
Overall Damage All Percentiles
Heroic players don't really seem to care about the raid switch or different boss dynamics, as the chart is pretty stable. Arms takes down Enhancement in 3rd, with Devastation being the biggest change in 4th.
All percentiles Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.
U.GG Raw Mythic DPS Rankings
U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks. This chart is for Mythic only.
We see the same specs around the top here as well, but in a different configuration. Retribution actually takes the top spot from Devastation, but both Arms and Frost are very strong at the top. Arcane is doing a lot better, with Demonology being the biggest difference between these and the points-based rankings.
