The Last Relic of Argus: a photojournal
I recently got The Last Relic of Argus from archeology. http://www.wowhead.com/item=64457 If you don't know, it is an item that transports you to a random location. It has a 12 hour cooldown, unfortunately. However, it sends you to interesting places and I've decided to keep a screenshot log of where it sends me. So far, it has been the Northern Barrens, Feralas and Blasted Lands. I didn't take screenshots of those. Tonight, it sent me to a floating island behind the Dark Portal in Hellfire. Rather an impressive view, I think.

Today, the Relic decided I needed to go inside the statue off the coast of Booty Bay. Now we know where all the booty is!

This is a nice idea! I like your first pic; I've never actually seen the portal from that angle before.

Blasted Lands today. One can only assume something went terribly wrong up on this hill.....

Awesome thread. Keep it going!
And I've never seen the inside of that statue - didn't even know it had an inside. Is that the only way in?

It blew open after Cata, you can fly there and go check out the jewels!Worba wrote:Awesome thread. Keep it going!

I think a ZG/ZA quest ends there too.
I like seeing the pics though, my favorite was in Wetlands overlooking farms near a waterfall (if i remember correctly)

Ah yes - the area below the dwarven airport. I remember sneaking up there long ago before they had flying in Azeroth. Good times...

There is a crypt in the Badlands...empty and lifeless. Nothing but a long forgotten king and his court, gone to dust and bones.

Re: The Last Relic of Argus: a photojournal
Two "teleporting with errors" later...
First, another trip to the statue and then it sent me on a nice jaunt to Fuselight-by-the-Sea, to a little house surrounded by explosing sheep.

Re: The Last Relic of Argus: a photojournal
I wonder if it would ever drop you off in enemy territory?
A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"
Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis
I love pets - combat or non.

Re: The Last Relic of Argus: a photojournal
I hear it can drop you in Aerie Peak, even as Horde. That should be interesting.....

Re: The Last Relic of Argus: a photojournal
The past three 'ports have been:
Stranglethorn, above the whirlpool in a tree. I couldn't help but jump >.>


The coast of Desolace

The Cavern of Mists inside the Wailing Caverns, in a little tunnel with a great view at the end of it
