Each week Arcane Brilliance conjures a portal into the darkest regions of your soul. You should tip Arcane Brilliance, though....those reagents cost money, guys. Also, your soul has a lot of dark regions, so finding the darkest ones is actually kind of a pain. Seriously, tip. Arcane Brilliance took time out of its day to come over and open that portal for you--time that could have been spent killing Warlocks. Compensate Arcane Brilliance. I don't think that's asking too much, really. A couple of thousand gold will do. Arcane Brilliance isn't picky. Oh, and Arcane Brilliance also has a Spectral Tiger mount to sell you… Gather round, I want to tell you all a story. Once upon a time, we all hit the level cap (or maybe you haven't yet, but just go with it). We were stumbling around Blasted Lands,or Netherstorm, or more recently, Storm Peaks or something, setting things on fire like we tend to do, and suddenly we realized we weren't getting experience points anymore. What to do now? Our gear sucked; we were tromping around sporting some kind of purple turban, a hideous brown shirt with agility on it, and probably a pink skirt that showed way too much leg or something. We glanced around and probably saw some other Mage flying by on a giant golden dragon, wearing a slick getup that looked as if had come off the rack as a matching set at Archmages RUs, carrying a staff that was constructed out of a full demon skeleton and pulsed with the pallid red malice of a thousand hells. We looked down at the flimsy stick or crappiness we'd found on a kobold corpse about 6 levels back, and we wanted more. Unfortunately, the gear that other Mage had could only be obtained through raiding, and you couldn't spell DPS if you had a dictionary and a last name with 72 consonants in it. To get good gear, you had to have good gear, and your flimsy stick of crappiness just wasn't going to cut it. So you put your nose to the grindstone. You got into max-level instances. You ground reputation with 17 different factions. You saved your pennies and bought things on the auction house. You applied yourself to a profession until you could craft yourself some kind of epic pants or something. Little by little, you pieced together the best of what the pre-raid end-game had to offer, until one day your guild finally let you come along to your first raid. Then the Warlock won the roll on that sweet wand from the fourth boss, and you checked to see if you could kill another person through your computer screen, just by hating them enough. Turns out you can't.. Yes, gearing up for raiding used to be hard. No more to say about that!Patch 3.2 is bringing all of us a little something called the Trial of the Champion. For the first time in the history of WoW, a 5-man instance will be filled with bosses that all drop epic-quality loot. You can now enter a 5-man instance in a group comprised of the below 4 conditions. 1.) The annoying guy who was spamming in the trade channel The items in normal mode will all be item level 200. That's the same level of gear you can find in 10-man Naxx. Heroic will drop items at level 213. If you'd have told me a year ago that I'd be able to get that kind of gravy by running a 5-man, I'd have laughed in your face, in much the same way that I'd have laughed in your face if you'd told me in 2001 that the dorky kid brother from Even Stevens would someday be an action movie star playing opposite a computer generated Optimus Prime in what is simultaneously the most financially successful movie ever created and the herald of the coming apocalypse. Also...wait. That's still frisking stupid, though it does not really happen. Here's how the loot breaks down for Mages.  Related Articles
