Join us weekly as we scour the lands of Azeroth and beyond for those special items. I, BLU3 the Relic Hunter, will be your guide to these mysterious items. Welcome to the Relic Hunter’s Toybox.

Welcome back! Sorry for the long hiatus. I meant to only close the shop to explore Tanaan Jungle for a short time. I knew there would be all sorts of great relics to unearth in this new opened region. I however didn’t expect to get a severe case of jungle fever. My pitfalls can be your guide stones.

Tanaan jungle is savage untamed land. You never know what you are going to find, or what will find you. I was hiking north of Vol’mar. I was minding my own business when a strange vine sprouted out of some loose soil took hold of me and started wildly flinging me around. Next thing I knew I was high up in a tree. I did have a nice view of the throne of Kil’jaeden from up there. Not sure how best to get down I started working my way around the tree. I was suddenly faced with a nice big juicy piece of Strange Green Fruit. I had never seen the like before. Not wanting to turn down food when given the chance. I stowed it away in my pack. 14 days passed and I found the Ripened Strange Fruit. It still looked good so I figured why not. It must have turned cause next thing I knew I was stumbling around and I swear I looked like a podling. The podling camouflage felt very strange. You know what, I kinda liked it.

I kept making noises to myself trying to figure what was going on. I was rummaging through a Big bag of pet supplies in hopes of some kind of medicine when out popped a Sun sproutling. I chirped in surprise. Not sure what he thinks I said, but he liked it. To this day he continues to follow me around.

The strange fruit reaction makes me think of a the bottomless Sytgana Mushroom Brew. I swiped me some from the bleeding hallow mushroom stash from the sytgana cavern. One sip of this powerful brew and you will be seeing podlings all around you. I was visiting Khadgar while on this expedition to bring him carts of these funny runes, not sure what he wanted them for. I have to say it is very disconcerning getting instructions from a khapodghar.

Is Khadgar really a podling???

I went through the best rehabilitation program Draeonor had available. Which to say is Khadgar through a book at me and said to knock off all the nonsense. I woke up a while later and I swear he said “Apparently he had a very good time.” It has been determined this sickness is very catching. So watch out or you and your raid team might get the Jungle Fever.

Glad you could join me! Keep your eyes open and your hands quick. You never know when you will see that next rare item. If you find any great items you want spotlighted feel free to leave a comment.
