Changes: Timeline of pre-Cataclysm events

Revision as of 20:43, 13 October 2010

A soul bag (often referred to as a shard bag) is a bag used by Warlocks to hold more Soul Shards than they would normally be able to carry in conventional containers.

The soul bag consumes a regular container slot, however, so it reduces the number of available slots for non-Soul Shard items. The value of the trade-off is up to the individual Warlock.

Soul Shards harvested by the Warlock are automatically stored in an equipped soul bag when acquired, making tedious Soul Shard housekeeping a thing of the past.

Helpfully, soul bags also display the number of soul shards stored within them on the bag icon on the container toolbar.

+A '''soul bag''' (often referred to as a '''shard bag''') is a [[bag]] used by [[Warlock]]s to hold more [[Soul Shard]]s than they would normally be able to carry in conventional containers.
+The soul bag consumes a regular container slot, however, so it reduces the number of available slots for non-Soul Shard items. The value of the trade-off is up to the individual Warlock.
-This article lists the phases of the pre-Cataclysm events. It will start at the release of [[Patch 4.0.1]] and stops at the release of [[Patch 4.0.3]], when the Cataclysm is a fact.
+Soul Shards harvested by the Warlock are automatically stored in an equipped soul bag when acquired, making tedious Soul Shard housekeeping a thing of the past.
-== Phase 1: Earthquakes ==
-On 13th of October 2010 there are earthquakes in various parts of [[Kalimdor]] and [[Eastern Kingdoms]].
+Helpfully, soul bags also display the number of soul shards stored within them on the bag icon on the container toolbar.
-== Phase 2: Leaders' gatherings ==
-On 14th of October 2010 in [[Stormwind Keep]] ([[Stormwind]]) and [[Grommash Hold]] ([[Orgrimmar]]) the leaders discuss the recent earthquakes.
+==Types and how to get them==

-{{Text|say|Lady Jaina Proudmoore|I'm not certain we could organize our people to move even if we wanted to.  We've also received word of hostile elementals appearing randomly across the lands, sometimes in towns, sometimes across the countryside.  Moving may not be an option.}}
+[[Category:Bags]]
-{{Text|say|King Magni Bronzebeard|Well, there is at least a wee bit of good news... no offense, Gelbin.  The shaking seems to have stirred up The Earthen Ring.  Even the Wildhammer shaman have offered their help.}}
-{{Text|say|Tyrande Whisperwind|Perhaps these events are also what have brought forth the Highborne from Shen'dralar.}}
-{{Text|say|Prophet Velen|It seems as if this world is coming apart at the seams.  I've seen these symptoms before, on Draenor... We may not be able to stop this.  Fleeing may be our best option.}}
-{{Text|say|King Varian Wrynn|Fleeing is not an option I wish to entertain at this point. We will find another way.  Perhaps these tablets from Ulduar will shed some light on our situation.}}
-{{Text|say|Lady Jaina Proudmoore|Hopefully we can get these answers quickly.  The people are frightened, and cultists are taking advantage of that fear.}}
-{{Text|say|King Varian Wrynn|These cultists only exacerbate the problem.  They preach the end of the world, or that the world is having birthing pains... Hyperbole that is hard for the populace to ignore.}}
-{{Text|say|Tyrande Whisperwind|Troubling times indeed. Fear of the unknown makes people do foolish things.}}
-{{Text|say|High Tinker Mekkatorque|And our lack of answers only fuels the confusion.}}
-{{Text|say|King Magni Bronzebeard|All the more reason we need to reach the bottom of this.  This tablet from Ulduar will lead us in the right direction.  Brann is sure of it.  And if Brann is certain, then I am certain.}}
-{{Text|say|Lady Jaina Proudmoore|I've made it a point not to argue with a dwarf when it comes to the earth.  If the Bronzebeards are sure this tablet will help solve the earth's problems, then by all means we should support them.}}
-=== Transcript of the meeting in Grommash Hold ===
-{{Text|say|Thrall|Let us begin.}}
-{{Text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|Are we not going to have more witnesses?}}
-{{Text|say|Thrall|I do not wish to make an event of this.  Such frivolities are expensive and merely serve our vanity.  But if you wish to have a celebration...}}
-{{Text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|No, Warchief, this is enough.}}
-{{Text|say|Thrall|You know that these are troubling times for the Horde.  Our supplies dwindle.  Our lands are barren.  Our warriors are in need of rest.  These are tasks that must be addressed for the good of the Horde.}}
-{{Text|say|Vol'jin|Da people be happy with our success in Northrend.}}
-{{Text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|"Our" success?  Troll, you played no part in the Horde's victories in Northrend.  While I led our warriors against the Lich King, you merely took back a few scattered islands.}}
-{{Text|say|Vol'jin|Watch yourself, young one. You don't-}}
-{{Text|say|Eitrigg|Garrosh! Vol'jin!  Hold your tongues.  There are larger issues at stake.}}
-{{Text|say|Vol'jin|Forgive my outburst.  Warchief, please, continue.}}
-{{Text|say|Thrall|Despite our success in Northrend, we face serious problems that cannot be solved simply by axe and sword.  Earthquakes shake every region.  Elementals ravage the countryside.  I can hear our land, Azeroth, cry out in pain.}}
-{{Text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|These are the reasons that you must leave.}}
-{{Text|say|Thrall|Yes, I leave for Nagrand to learn from the elements there.  They have suffered and seen many of these same symptoms.}}
-{{Text|say|Vol'jin|How long you gonna be gone?}}
-{{Text|say|Thrall|It may take time to learn what I must.  I trust I will not be gone too long, but it could be weeks - even months.}}
-{{Text|say|Thrall|In my absence, I am instructing you, Garrosh Hellscream, to lead the Horde.  You have the strength and courage that our people need to survive in these trying times.}}
-{{Text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|I am honored, warchief.  But I feel unprepared for the life of a ruler.}}
-{{Text|say|Thrall|You will not be alone.  You will have advisors: Cairne, Eitrigg, Vol'jin.  They will help guide you.}}
-{{Text|say|Thrall|And though I am leaving soon, I can also instruct you.}}
-{{Text|say|Vol'jin|A good first test may be dealin' with dese cultists.  Da people be scared.  Dey aren't sure what's goin'on.}}
-{{Text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|But even we are not sure of all that is happening.  Should we capture these cultists and force their silence?  But that may anger the rest of the people... Still, we cannot allow the cult to spread fear and lies...}}
-{{Text|say|Eitrigg|Now you are thinking like a ruler, Garrosh.  You must look at all sides of a problem.  Consult with your advisors and act with confidence.}}
-{{Text|say|Thrall|They will help you Garrosh.  And I will help you.  I will find the answers that we need to assuage the fears of the people and soothe the elements.}}
-{{Text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|I will not fail you, Warchief.  I will lead as well as I can, and I will consult with the advisors you suggest.  I know what a tremendous honor you do me, and I will strive to be worthy of it.}}
-{{Text|say|Thrall|Then it is done.}}
-{{Text|say|Thrall|Let everything you do be done for the Horde.}}
-{{Text|say|Vol'jin|For da Horde!}}
-{{Text|say|Eitrigg|For the Horde!}}
-{{Text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|For the Horde!}}
-== Phase 3: Heavier earthquakes ==
-On 16th of October 2010 the earthquakes have longer durations.
