So let's see... WoW: Legion continues. It's nice to see many familiar guild faces out and about. I've now run all the normal-mode dungeons. Over the weekend, my main just hit revered with Legion factions and exalted with Nightfallen - a notable step that finishes out the class hall armor set. And I'm sitting at an item level of around 844 - enough

Just need Heroic ready geared healers! C'mon Kys!

Mmm.
And having alted a little more, I see more overlap in some of the artifact quests, at least. Affliction warlocks and unholy death knights do almost exactly the same thing - go to Deadwind Pass to get their artifact from the Riders (who... I really don't remember in the game previously, though it's been a long time since I quested in the region). Several classes seem to go through a portal on the Broken Shore. I already knew that Tyr's Watch vault is used two or three times for various classes. I'm also seeing repetition in the "hidden" artifact appearances - a few have individualized quests regarding sheep or books, but several are just "can drop from the end of the withered training scenario chest." That removes a little of the uniqueness luster to me, though I still generally like it all.

The Riders were the ones who were involved in Jitters story (in Vanilla). When he found the Scythe of Elune, the Riders came out of deadwind Pass after him. He hid at a farmhouse and the Riders murdered the entire family trrying to find him, but never did.

That sounds vaguely familiar. I always wanted to know more about the Scythe (guess I need to get Jhazza out and active soon), but the Riders themselves and their connection to Karazhan didn't make much of an impression on me, I guess.

This, though, makes me wonder just how many Legion artifact weapons come out of that vault, and how many times the Rider's leader gets spanked along the way. I mean, in Tyr's Watch, it seems like there might be a canonical chronology to the priest, paladin, and (I think) warrior quests that go there. Other than a slight detour in the middle and having to overcome a hall of grasping claws with different abilities at your disposal, the DK and warlock quests through there seemed identical to me.
