Do you get anything good for collecting all the Coins of Ancestry? I was bored and ran around and got all of them in the Eastern Kingdoms and then got kicked off because Cox hates Blizzard. I really only started because I got the one in the Ring of Law in BRD while trying to see if I could solo it at 60(answer - yes!). Anyone know what you get for getting them all?

I remember doing it, so it must not be anything good. Probably a dress or something.

Dresses, fireworks, pants suits, and dumplings.

And recipes for the dresses and fireworks launchers.

And 75 Alliance/Horde faction when you get a coin from an elder.

My 70 mage basically walked into dead Strat to get the one there. It's all about the aggro range at 70. The undercity one didn't even make me go into the cirty; just the throne room.

I ain't brave/dumb enough to try to get the Org or Thunder Bluff ones.

Pansy. Those are easier to get than Strat.

Friend of mine, 68 Warlock, got those without a problem. The Org one you just ride in, grab it and ride out. Only problem would be if the Horde decide to be dicks about letting you get the coin.

... That's something I haven't seen on my server... but then again I'm playing on an RP realm instead of a PVP realm.

Can't speak for the PVP servers, but on the non-pvp servers I have characters on... yes.

Hell, Gilneas had regular visits in IF from High Warlords. People would stand around and "do nothing". Just kinda hang out with a high level (and high honor value) Horde character.

Of course there was the one time they held the HWL hostage for a couple of hours... Devine Intervention + Mind Control == funny.

Isn't it the second you get attacked by a NPC guard you are flagged for pvp? If so, it's pretty tough to get into Orgrimmar, what with Orgrimmar being full of guards right at the front.

And yeah, God forbid we wouldn't allow you to walk into the capital city and finish a quest and not get ganked for it. That's incredibly foolish of you to assume we should not cause you any inconvenience.

I didn't say anything about having to do a damn thing. Generally if I see a Horde person running around in a city flagged they're going to get killed. However if I see them making the run for a specific NPC for one of these holiday quests I leave them alone assuming they're not making an ass of themselves. I guess I must be in the minority of players on this one.

If you think you can lay siege, by all means do so. When was the last time the Horde killed one of the Big 3 Alliance leaders?

You might as well ask, "When was the last time Horde killed Goldtooth" because they're just about of equal relevance. No one kills any faction leaders anymore, unless a guild is extremely bored and feels like throwing away gold.

There's even a special quest for the opposing faction fires, if I recall...

That's the fire festival at the summer solstice. This is the lunar festival to celebrate the new year or some dumb shit.

Well, I managed to get the Org one (using my level 10 orc on Daggerspine to scout the path) and the TB one... that one was more fun... used a bunch of light feathers esacping when I got spotted....

Invisibility came in useful to get me through that small building to the bridge to Elder Rise. Even took a screenshot as proof.

No, it's if you attack the guards. The NPC guards will attack you, but if you let them pound on you without attacking back you'll never be flagged.

No, it's if you're retarded enough to walk into the capital thinking that if you don't hurt anyone, they'll give you crumpets and tea.

Even on PvE servers, if you walk into a capital that belongs to the opposite faction, you're flagged for PvP.
