3 Point Entertainment (makers of the official World of Warcraft steins) has released a brand new stein, modeled after the epic Brewfest mug the Tankard o’ Terror. As you can see above, this beauty of a brewholder is much different from the other mugs — it’s made to look exactly like the ingame item, even though that means it’s more angled than curved and a little bit primitive-looking. It’s also a huge piece of stoneware, standing over nine inches tall and weighing four pounds. I don’t know that you’d ever want to drink anything out of it, but I guess, fittingly for a tanking tankard, if you hit someone over the head with it, they’d feel it.
Alex will be able to tell us what that’s like, as he’s already got one ordered. This mug is also much cheaper than the other mugs — it’s only $39.99 (as if “only” was a fitting adjective for a purchase like this), which means that 3 Point has probably heard your complaining here in our comments sections and decided to offer up a lower price point option. I won’t be going for this one, but the idea of replicating Azerothian cookery in real-life is intriguing. I might buy a Cookie’s Tenderizer if I had the chance.

This is great — it’s probably more WoW playing than I could do in one day, but maybe I’ll try it this weekend anyway. loztaylor has designed a heck of an instance run that rolls through thirteen Heroics and will nab you 53 Emblems of Conquest (along with all of the other spoils of war) in one day. Basically, you’ll be sweeping across the land of Northrend, hitting every Heroic you come across, and if by some chance you’re able to keep the group together the whole time, and keep from passing out from all the WoW playing you’re doing, at the end you’ll end up with 53 Emblems, more than enough to purchase most of the Emblem gear, and almost enough to pick up a Tier piece.
Of course, if you’re wearing a rep tabard, you’ll also rein in a ton of dungeon rep. And if you hit the new Trial of the Champion, you’ll pick up your Champion’s Seals as well. And you’ll have 13 Frozen Orbs to divvy among the group, a few extra Emblems and gold from doing the daily quests, and if you’re good and/or lucky, you might even be able to clear up a few of the achievements or snag that blue proto-drake. Of course, doing this much of anything in the game will probably nab you plenty of rewards. But here’s a tuned route to follow all the way around the world of Heroics. If I can find a willing group of suckers guildies, I think I’ll give it a shot.
