I don't think it's possible to overthink this at the moment. What you're doing is precisely the kind of thinking we need :) Thanks :)

I don't think spamming the Devs on every post they make will get us any kindness. That'll just result in us being ignored.

This. Blizz has come out in the past when that has happened and made it clear that they do not appreciate it and it will not cause them to give whatever the player's are asking for.

I almost wanna ask if anyone's checked on that weird, golden orb that's located in a fatigue zone recently, but I doubt blizz would be that cruel. You apparently can't even reach it unless your a druid and spamming self heals and travel form.

The occasional mention won't hurt. They're probably happy that people are showing passion and excitement :) But if it started to become every other thread I can imagine it would become annoying for them.

Speaking of Old God stuff, has anyone tried running around with the Gem of Acquiescence buff?

That was tried by a couple of people a few days ago.

People have tried various pets, including Dart. However, Dart is a pet that only the Horde can obtain. I am doubtful that Blizz would lock the tome behind a battle pet that can only be obtained by Horde.

Anything that can only be obtained by one faction is, most likely, not the solution.

Aha, oof. Didn't realize there wasn't an equivalent way to obtain him on Alliance side. Muh bad. I'm personally running around using this as an excuse to actually level my archeology even if it might not be the answer either. Ehehe.

No worries :)

I know that Archaeology has been tried by a few people. Some have tried it in Nazmir and the blood pools there. Some have tried it in other regions of Azeroth where Zul might have visited.

This notion may be completely off base, but I am reminded of the old vanilla quest "Dark Iron Legacy" that you could obtain from Franclorn Forgewright, at Forgewright's Tomb in Blackrock Mountain, while you were in ghost/wisp form (dead) ONLY. If you went by this tomb while alive, the ghostly quest giver was not visible to you. This was part of the old quest series to obtain the ShadowForge Key (for unlocking the later sections of the Blackrock Depths dungeon).

Is it possible that the the "whisper" that Zul listens to, that "begins to make sense" is --> YOU (in ghost form)? Or some similar variant, where you are privy to the conversation?

I would think that the object or person that you interact with (in ghost form) would be in a place that is frequently passed by players shortly after death (such as near a dungeon). For example, Forgewright's Tomb was on the path between the graveyard and the Blackrock Depths dungeon entrance.

Just a notion,

Hmm....anyone try ghost forming around Drakki areas maybe? Zul probably did get the tome from there, and if I recall, you had a quest where you had to die and explore around. I'm not sure though.
Either way it was one of the first areas that the blood magic was being studied I think.

"THE WHISPERS" is an anagram of "SHREWISH PET" :P OK, that's no help, just an observation :P

I have been looking at anagrams, but haven't found any leads. ("her west ship"? heh)

Oh. My. God. Ok, so we have to head to Argus and tame a marsuul a shrewish pet. Shrews only live in tropical and temperate land masses, you know, like a swamp! A swamp like Nazmir! We take the marsuul to Nazmir, where the blood beasts reside. What's in the west? Blood Priest Xak'lar! And what is Blood Priest Xak'lar doing? Performing a blood ritual! On what? On the corpse, the vessel of a dead beast! .A ship is a vessel!

Ok, ok, we need to follow this line of clues. I predict we will have crawgs and ticks by morning!

It seems like Blizzard periodically tries to keep random skills relevant.

Has anybody tried pickpocketing Zul (in raid), or the various blood trolls, for the tome?
