WoW x Pinterest: Housing Decor, Toy, and Achievement

**UPDATE: Redemption for the three decor items is temporarily paused. * Redemption ability is back as of 03/23.

There are three housing decor items and one toy plus its achievement “Craft Your World” (Feat of Strength), with the collab between World of Warcraft© and Pinterest. The rewards are: Pin-O-Matic Camera toy and the following housing decor: Bluebird’s Golden Cage, Backboard and Hoop Playset, and Preserved Gift of Gilneas. It’s important to note that there are two different processes. One is to get the achievement and toy, and the other is for the three decor items. For weeks the option to connect the two accounts, specifically to get the achievement and toy, was disabled as there was an issue when players went to connect their Pinterest account. Upon connecting the Pinterest account to WoW, players found their Pinterest accounts banned. They have since fixed this, so you shouldn’t have a problem if you wish to get the achievement and toy.

Blogmas, Day 16: Feast of Winter Veil 2020

Pepe is located on top of the cart in Ironforge (or Orgrimmar).

Feast of Winter Veil has officially arrived in WoW. From 12/16/2020-01/02/2020, take part in festivities, decorate your garrison, dress up, and indulge in Winter Veil’s finest treats. This year I’m incredibly excited because Pepe’s Greatfather Winter costume is available!

Blogmas, Days 14-15: Holiday Happenings

The Greench’s horn is at the bottom of the image.

If you are just joining me, Happy Holidays! The last couple of days have been spent finalizing gifts, dropping items off, and searching for this movie that has been bugging me for ages. Side story: I’ve tried every search possible, to no avail. I’ve been really into movies from the 1920s to about the mid-1960s. When time permits I end my days with a movie (and try not to fall asleep). It’s so interesting to see how the areas, fashion, genres, talent, and film styles have changed over time. Anyway, I saw part of a film, can only remember part of it, and all searches have come up with nothing about it. Go figure.

Catching Glimr *NEW Battle Pet*

How cute is Glimr?!

There is a new battle pet for all of you collectors out there: Glimr. Glimr is reminiscent of the new Funko Pop that you can check out here. When the announcement was released that a new battle pet was found, one of my guildies and I went to Northrend to start the quest chain. Before you get started, this week is Darkmoon Faire, so head over to get the buff. You won’t need it, but it doesn’t hurt to have it. You will also want some gold because you will fatigue and die…unless you’re lucky and don’t. I died twice. You may also want a water mount since the majority of the quests will have you, not only fatigue, but place you deep in the icy waters of Northrend. Another item that is optional, but can come in handy, is having an extra under water breathing elixir. You are given three Elixir of Water Breathing after exchanging a scale with King Mrgl-Mrgl. If you have the Underlight Angler with Underlight Blessing, you can equip to be able to breathe under water. This only comes in handy for non-combat travel.

Halloween + Shadowlands NEW Launch Date 🎃

Screenshot from the e-mail that was sent out.

In case you missed it, Blizzard has announced a new date for the release of Shadowlands: 11/23/2020. This comes after they pulled the original date, set for October 23rd, in favor of (hopefully) providing a better experience. I’m really excited to see what new pets, toys, and mounts will be available and how everything in the World (… of Warcraft) falls into place. You can view the story trailer here. Will you be joining us in the Shadowlands?
