The new King and Queen of the Ogres
Last night myself, Vishyna and Rec had a quick chat with Grok in Lower City and he asked us to pay a visit to Mog’dorg the Wizened. Mog’dorg requested that we retrieve one item each from three of Gruul’s sons. That sounded easy enough.
Grulloc was close by so we went straight there to try and talk it over with him. On the way we met a Blood Elf Paladin whom Mog’dorg had also given the same task. She seemed friendly enough so we brought her along.
Unfortunately, Grulloc was not having any of this talk stuff and immediately tried to kill us all. Luckily we had brought three other people from our guild with us and we were able to teach that nasty Gronn a thing or two about respect. After Grulloc learned his lesson he decided to give us the skull that Mog’dorg wanted.
Looking over the list that Mog’dorg had given us we noticed that Maggoc - who was also nearby - had a treasure chest that was requested. We all made haste for Maggoc’s last known whereabouts. A short flight over the mountains and there he was, like he was expecting us. Again we tried to solve things peacefully and get that old treasure chest without a fight but these Gronn just aren’t into that sort of thing I guess. We gave Maggoc a close-up view of the dirt in Blade’s Edge and he coughed up that chest after all.
Next up on Mog’dorg’s list was a battle flag from another Gronn named Slaag. He lives in the Barrier Hills near Shattrath. We all made our way there and found Slaag hiding himself away in cave. I’m supposing that he had already gotten wind of us knocking two of his brothers around and didn’t want any part of a fight with us. I thought for sure he’d be more cooperative than those other guys and just hand over that flag and we could call it even.
Nope. He wasn’t having any of that either. Yet again we had to knock some sense into another Gronn just to get them to hand over one simple item to us.
In the end we got the three items that Mog’dorg was looking for, and boy was he happy. So happy that he asked us to go speak with another big bag guy and get a book from him. When we came back with the book a short while later I though for sure he would be satisfied that we were friends of the Ogres, but no. The reason he wanted us to get that book is because it would help us deal with yet another Gronn; Skulloc. Mog’dorg wanted us to go see Skulloc and bring back his skull as proof that we had.
When we came back with the skull, just like he asked, Mog’dorg proclaimed us the new Kings and Queens of the Ogres! How cool is that. Now the Ogres don’t try to hurt us anymore when we swoop down into their camps to kill and skin raptors and they even leave us alone while we mine their ores. What’s more is that we were allowed to go the most sacred of Ogre places… Ogri’la.
The Ogres up there mean business and are willing to part with some nice things if you help them. Even better is that they Sha’tari Skyguard folks from down south in Skettis have another base of operations here. Apparently it’s where they get all the Rays that they ride into battle with.
Tomorrow is a raid night. If numbers allow, we’ll be going to see old Gruul himself. When we get there I’m going to have to sit down and have a talk with him about his sons and their terrible manners.

Ever since I decided to roll a bear tank and began researching the gear I’d want at 70, one of the items I’ve been persistently drooling over is the Badge of Tenacity. Pretty much anyone who’s been playing WoW for more than a week knows what this item is. It’s created by combining a Depleted Badge (a quasi-random world drop) with 50 Apexis Shards. It’s BoE and sells for an average of 1,000 gold on the auction house. Generally speaking, If you play a melee class, you want one. If you play a bear tank, you need one.
Yesterday I had jokingly asked Vishyna for 1,000 gold so I could buy one. Five minutes later we logged in to get started on the next stage of our leveling guide and what do I find in my mailbox? Well, aside from about 35 expired auction house items, 15 successful auctions and several “return to sender” mails from Vishyna. Yeah. A Badge of Tenacity of my very own.
The previous evening, one of my guildmates had completed the Shartuul Transporter event (which can be started with a Crystalforged Darkrune after you are Honored with Ogri’la) in Blade’s Edge Mountains and received a Depleted Badge. Several people chimed in with their comments. “I got one of those”, “I bought mine for 50g”, “I’m still looking for the Depleted Sword“, and so on. The thing about this particular badge is, the person who got it already had one. I assumed he would just sell it though. I made sure to express my interest in obtaining a badge eventually along with my jealousy at him having two of them, and went about my leveling. I never expected to find it in my mailbox the next day.
Thanks again Gerhalt. I owe you big time for that.
