Vanity pet collectors, rejoice! The Crown Chemical Co. apothecaries not only drop some pretty nice necklaces, they’re also the source of a new vanity pet, the Toxic Wasteling. You may think this looks a lot like the Disgusting Oozeling, but there’s a major difference — rather than a debuff applied to your character, the Wasteling is a hungry little guy. So hungry in fact, that he’ll eat random critters, and as he does, he grows in size.
Check out the video to see the Toxic Wasteling in action — and for those pet collectors wondering about the Truesilver Shafted Arrow for the Perma-Peddle achievement, he’s now available on holiday vendors for the low price of 40 Love Tokens.
At the very end of last year, It came from the Blog got together to celebrate the Feast of Winter Veil. We slaughtered dragonhawks for their young in order to bake cookies. We bribed Greatfather Winter. We pretended we cared about what the real message behind the holiday was. And we threw snowballs at Cairne. But mostly, we had fun!
I hate leveling. I despise it with a burning wrath. I enjoyed it well enough the first time, but I never, ever want to have to do it again. I only have one max level character because I cannot bring myself to level another through all the pain and blood and hog organs.
Without question Blizzard is continually making leveling easier, increasing XP, decreasing the amount of XP you need to level, and offering a myriad of XP-boosting heirloom items. I appreciate that Blizzard is trying to ease my pain, but why do have to level from scratch at all? Why can’t I just reroll at level 55 if I already have a max level character? Or better yet, why can’t I assign an alt as my “apprentice” and he gets 10% of any XP my main would have gotten. Set it up so he levels around half the rate someone actually playing at leveling, but he can eventually get up to 80 without forcing me back into a glorified Fed Ex driver again, sorting through buzzard gizzards and reading wanted posters.
Leveling is a radically different game from the endgame. I appreciate that some people enjoy and prefer that game. But many of us prefer the other game, and we don’t want to play the leveling game again. We’ve done it. We won.
What do you think? If you already have a level 80, should you have to level your next character from scratch? Do you think that leveling really teaches you how to play a class?

The 2010 Love Is In the Air holiday doesn’t much resemble its 2009 version; Blizzard’s eliminated much of the frustration surrounding RNG and item drops, and overall things are a lot more fun This FAQ covers all of the questions we think will be most helpful to readers concerning the holiday’s mechanics. If you have any questions not answered here or in our OverAchiever guide to the holiday’s achievements, please drop a comment below and I’ll try to make sure it gets answered!
Help! Where do I go to get started?
Head for any of your faction’s major cities in Azeroth (Stormwind, Ironforge, the Exodar, or Darnassus for Alliance, and Thunder Bluff, Orgrimmar, Undercity, or Silvermoon for Horde). New goblin NPCs (most from the Crown Chemical Company) will have popped up around the more heavily-trafficked areas (read: AH/bank) with quests and information.
The Care and Feeding of Warriors is here to hurt things this week. Hurt them, make them bleed, make them die, stand over their corpses and find something else to kill. Hear the warsong hammering in your ears? Let it out. Let it out and show the world your rage. Matthew Rossi knows that sometimes, dead is better.
Last week, we talked about Protection. Protection warriors are the tanks of the warrior class, the guys who stand up there and bang on their shields and bang their shields into things ranging the gamut from large horrible squamous tentacle monsters in Old Kingdom to giant walking bone piles in ICC. And that’s fine: somebody has to keep the monsters and bosses of the game focused on a hard target so the rest of us can kill it. It’s good to see prot warriors alongside bears, walking corpses and daisy picking fancylads doing the tank job. (I kid you paladins because my heart is black and full of envy.) It’s good that there are warrior tanks.
But that’s not you, is it? You haven’t read this far because you want to tank. If you did, you’d have clicked that link and been on your merry way. You don’t want to tank. You don’t want to stand up front and keep monsters attention focused like some kind of giant nursery school teacher for the horrors of Azeroth. No, you don’t want to tank.
You want to kill things. You want to rip them into bloody gobbets and leave their ruined, looted corpses in your wake. You want to wear two huge weapons crossed on your back and reach up to draw them forth as soon as things get ugly, which can’t come soon enough in your opinion. You want to get on up there and rip things heads clean off. You’re the kind of person who thinks Grom Hellscream had a good idea but didn’t go far enough with it.
If you were like me and had the wonderful fortune last year to complete the Love is in the Air meta-achievement Fool for Love, there is some interesting news for you. Upon logging on this morning I noticed that the achievements for Charming, Nation of Adoration, and Dangerous Love were completed for me on the date I had originally earned the meta-achievement, last year. Is this a bug or Blizzard’s way of allowing those of us who already completed the meta-achievement to not worry about the new holiday tasks?
We would love some more confirmation from people who completed the Fool for Love meta-achievement last year, but at this moment, it seems like we have a little less work to do this holiday season. More love rockets for me to annoy my raids with…
