Ducks! Ducks everywhere!

...well, not really. This week's Blizzard Watch Podcast is headlined by ducks because Noblegarden is about to start in #WoW and we're eager to collect another Duck Disguiser. For a rundown of that and the rest of the latest news, tune into the podcast, which is available now on the website or in your favorite podcast player. https://blizzardwatch.com/2025/04/18/blizzard-watch-podcast-noblegarden-taking-several-years-become-cutest-baby-ducky/

Just what happened with the Puzzling Cartel Chips we were supposed to get in #WoW patch 11.1.5?

The short answer is we don't know, and the long answer is also we don't know. However, here's what we do know about the curious case of the missing cartel chips, including what Blizzard has told us so far. https://blizzardwatch.com/2025/04/16/get-spend-puzzling-cartel-chips/

How bad was it in the 70s and 80s for women?

Well, this was a "comedy" in 1984, for a start.

Oh, and women couldn't have bank accounts until 1974 without a man cosigning.

This is the world people like Trump and MAGAts miss and want to go back to.

#WoW patch 11.1.5 is launching next week, and the big new content for the patch is Nightfall, a new event with its own renown faction to befriend (which you can do by killing lots of nerubians, something we happen to be very good at). Here's a rundown of the rewards on the Flame's Radiance renown track! https://blizzardwatch.com/2025/04/16/earn-flames-radiance-rep-patch-11-1-5/

This week's Lore Watch Podcast ventures into tinfoil hat territory on unreliable narrators throughout #WoW lore, Xal'atath, and the nature of the void. You can listen now on the website or in your favorite podcast player! https://blizzardwatch.com/2025/04/16/lore-watch-xalatath-void-dawn-azeroths-creation/

While playing through the latest #WoW patch, do you ever find yourself wondering what the heck the Dark Heart is and why we're bothering to chase it? We could be in ICC trying to get Invincible to drop for the 812th time (not that I'm counting), but no, here we are, hunting down an artifact someone has assured us is super important.... but no, really, what is it? Here's our rundown on the history of the Dark Heart. https://blizzardwatch.com/2025/04/11/wow-dark-heart-lore/

Wait, what China exemptions?

But...

Sir, but you said...

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to an exciting weekend of transmog farming in #WoW. Hopefully you have some exciting weekend plans, too, but I don't think they can be better than mine. https://blizzardwatch.com/2025/04/02/easily-collect-nerub-ar-palace-set-appearances/

#WoW patch 11.1.5 is packed with content, but we may be most excited about this leveling and reputation buff that's arrives with the patch to help us get just one more alt to max level. After all, the more alts we have leveled and geared, the more indecisive we can be about what we'll main in the next raid tier, which is frankly half the fun of the game. https://blizzardwatch.com/2025/04/09/leveling-breeze-11-1-5-winds-mysterious-fortune/

#WOW... One is made a national story every single week and the other is shhhhh.....

If you've ever wanted to have a cage match against robotic versions of classic Warcraft bosses, I have great news for you, because that's exactly what Dastardly Duos is. This new event is part of #WoW in patch 11.1.5, but won't go live until June, so you have time to work on your arena technique... and we're here to help with a rundown of the event. https://blizzardwatch.com/2025/04/08/dastardly-duos-wow-patch-11-1-5/

Get ready for patch day (again)! #WoW patch 11.1.5 launches on April 22 and it is absolutely loaded with new content. Here are the details on what's in the latest patch! (Exclamation point!!) https://blizzardwatch.com/2025/04/08/wow-patch-11-1-5-release-date/

Rextroy is already soloing Liberation of Undermine bosses in #WoW, making me feel even more self-conscious about my DPS. Here's how he's soloing Rika-rika-rika Rik Reverb which, spoiler, requires a few tricks. https://blizzardwatch.com/2025/04/04/liberation-undermine-boss-rik-reverb-soloable-two-hours-specific-trinket-lots-determination/

The #WoW servers are down for another Tuesday morning maintenance, but it should be quick (at least for some of us): The War Within and Cataclysm Classic servers are due to be up within an hour, but other #WoWClassic servers are in it for the long haul with eight hours of maintenance.

We'll keep you updated if anything changes! https://blizzardwatch.com/2025/04/08/quick-wow-maintenance-us-long-wow-maintenance-classic-players/
