 ep, it's patch day again. Time to download the new 1.60 wow patch. As mentioned before, the bulk of this patch is going to be the Blackwing Lair instance and the new Darkmoon Faire world event. While I haven't been able to confirm 100% yet, I think you can enter Blackwing Lair without a key, just like being attuned to Molten Core. What I do know for sure is that to get attuned to Blackwing Lair is that you gotta kill the Quarter Master and touch the orb he guards. You know that room down the hall way turning left instead of going to Upper Blackrock Spire? Well, that's it. Then I think after that you just have to kill Drakkisath and touch the orb behind him (this was implimented on the 1.5 patch but serves no purpose until now). I think that's about it. I'll revise this posting to make any corrections though. Also, the Blackmoon Faire alternates between Elwynn Forest and Mulgore every month. Since the test server was only up a short time I dont know where exactly in Elwynn the Blackmoon Faire will setup camp, but I bet it will be south west of Stormwind like it was south west of Thunderbluff. The Blackmoon Faire mostly consists of repeatable collection quests. Turn in items created by various tradeskills in exchange for reputation and tickets. If you get enough tickets (1200 to be exact) you can get an epic necklace. There's one for casters and melee. Also, there are various cards that drop from mobs I believe in Burning Steppes and probably other high level zones. Collect all the cards from one set and turn them in for epic items. This is starting to sound like Pokemon now isn't it? Gotta Catchem All (please don't sue). Okay, so just login to wow and it should automatically begin downloading the new client patch. It's just a tad over 20MB so you shouldn't be waiting too long to get in and start playing again.
Oh yeah, the Darkmoon Faire takes about a week to setup so you'll only see wagons and NPC's chitchatting away until it's up.
