This week on the podcast we talk about two things Tom Chilton talked about in his Gamescom interviews: The legendaries and how we could see a legendary Gorehowl or Teron’gor’s staff and the possibility of just two raid tiers in Warlords of Draenor, depending on how quickly the expansion after WoD is developed.
In Warlords of Draenor you can recruit followers for your garrison each zone. You’ll come across a lot during questing, but the zones are so big you might miss them. As we discover the rarer followers we’ll add them to the liast as well. To help you keep track of them all we’ve compiled a list of all the rares we’ve been able to find. Remember WoD is still in beta, anything can change. If we missed any feel free to leave a comment with the location and name of the rare mob or event. Click on the map for a full size version.

A new beta patch was deployed tonight and it brought the new Warlords login screen. Welcome back to the Dark Portal! Click on the image for a full screen version.
Blizzard also released a new short story about Garrosh’s time in Draenor after he first goes there, setting the expansion in motion! If you have the time, it’s definitely worth the read!
Quote from: Blizzard
“We will never be slaves! But we will be conquerors…”
The pit lord Mannoroth is dead.
Gul’dan and his followers are in chains.
In one night, Grommash Hellscream exposed and thwarted the forces that meant to subjugate the orcs. In one night, Hellscream proved himself a worthy warchief to the Iron Horde and set his people on a violent collision course with another world in another time.
But this was not meant to be. Who warned Hellscream of Gul’dan’s treachery? Who convinced him that Azeroth was a foe worth defeating at all costs?
Before Gul’dan’s dramatic fall, two strangers arrived on Draenor: Garrosh Hellscream, the deposed warchief of the Horde on Azeroth, and Kairozdormu, a bronze dragon whose motivations were clouded in mystery. The newest World of Warcraft short story, “Hellscream,” reveals how their actions on Draenor have placed all living beings on Azeroth in mortal peril. Read the short story here, and then delve deeper into the events surrounding the Iron Horde invasion in our lore archives:
- War Crimes – In this novel by Christie Golden, Garrosh Hellscream is put on trial for his crimes during the events of Mists of Pandaria.
- Gul’dan and the Stranger – Gul’dan and Garrosh Hellscream meet face to face for the first time in this free comic written by Micky Neilson, featuring art by Alex Horley.
- World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor cinematic – At a pivotal moment in Draenor’s history, Warsong chieftain Grommash Hellscream challenges destiny and reforges the fate of his people.
- Garrosh Hellscream’s character biography – Find out more about the former Warchief of the Horde.
Today we’ll take a look at the first 2 types of quests of the Stables in your Garrison! The first perk of your Garrison is that you can tame and train Draenor beasts. Parts of the stables questline are bugged though, so we will have to wait and see for now if they become actual mounts! Nevertheless, the first 2 types of stables quests:
In Warlords of Draenor there are many rares in each zone, a lot of them are to kill while leveling to diversify the leveling experience. It’s a combined and improved version of leveling and the timeless isle. To help you keep track of them all we’ve compiled a list of all the rares we’ve been able to find.
