22-year-old Nadia Amine is the most-watched streamer of Call of Duty on Twitch. She has now received her first ban for sharing a viewer’s name during the stream. MMORPG streamer Asmongold criticizes Twitch for its leniency.
Who is the streamer? Nadia Amine, who appears on Twitch only by her first name, is the most-watched CoD streamer by viewer hours. In the last 7 days, she ranked 8th among all streamers for Call of Duty: Warzone 2 worldwide (via sullygnome).
However, Nadia’s success is controversial: For months, the streamer has been defending herself against cheating accusations. Now the situation escalated. Nadia shared the name of a viewer during her stream who wished her a lot of fun cheating, and she received a ban for it.

The 5 biggest Twitch bans that caused a lot of commotion
Streamer defends against cheating accusations, gets banned
What was the ban about? On December 15th, Nadia was banned from Twitch for 14 days. For the streamer, it is her first ban. The reasons were initially unknown. Nadia only mentioned that she was banned for sharing personal information, whatever that means.
Why was Nadia banned? It is now known that Nadia received the ban for sharing the real name of a viewer during her stream. The 22-year-old explained that she often receives donations over 1 US dollar that are accompanied by a hateful message.
In this case, a viewer donated a dollar under the name “Daddyslayer” and wrote “have fun cheating.” What the viewer did not know, according to Nadia, is that Paypal shows her the full names of her donors.
Nadia took the opportunity to thank the viewer for their donation – she repeatedly used his real name and urged him to do something else with his time.
For whatever reason you do this, I hope you find the time to do something with your damn life. Because now you look like a damn idiot.
The YouTube channel Warzone Part 2 shared the relevant clip, with the viewer’s name censored.
However, Nadia did not have to serve the full 14 days: she was unbanned after just 6 hours. This has led to intense discussions, with many calling for a harsher punishment. Larger content creators are also getting involved.
Asmongold criticizes Twitch for lenient punishment
What does the discussion look like? On Twitter, the ban and its reversal are being heavily debated. Nadia’s supporters believe that the streamer has done nothing wrong. After all, many people voluntarily provide their full names on Twitch (via Twitter).
Others find the length of the ban disproportionate: Content creators are banned for sexually explicit actions for shorter periods than Nadia. Twitch’s ban policy has been criticized for some time, with one Twitter user stating that bans on the platform are absolutely arbitrary (via Twitter).
Currently, Nadia’s channel is not banned, but she has not been online since the incident.
Twitch’s ban policy is considered opaque. It is not always clear what triggers a ban. Viewers and streamers often cannot understand the relationship between the severity of the offense and the length of the suspension. Recently, the largest political streamer on the platform was also hit:
However, critics see Nadia’s action as doxing and thus a clear violation that should be punished more severely.
What is doxing? The term is a portmanteau of the English phrases “Dropping Documents”. It refers to the publishing of identifying information about a person on the internet.
This can include the full name, as well as more detailed information such as the address, contact details, or even financial information. The goal is usually to shame the victims, threaten them, or otherwise harm them (via Police Counseling).
Doxing can be directed against political or personal opponents and can be criminal, depending on how the information was obtained and what consequences arise (via AVG).
What does Asmongold say? Under a Twitter post by journalist Jake Lucky about Nadia’s ban, MMORPG streamer Asmongold also commented. He is one of the largest streamers on Twitch, but does not hesitate to criticize the platform harshly.
Asmongold said he had seen the clip. For him, there is no question that Nadia should be permanently banned. He finds it astonishing that Twitch is having any difficulty with the decision.

What’s next? Asmongold apparently intends to resolve the issue himself: in a stream, he urged his community to report Nadia’s channel so that she would at least be banned for a few months (via Twitch).
Currently, Nadia’s channel is not banned, but she has not been online since the incident.

The limited Collector’s Box of Diablo 4 is available and offers some treasures for the collector’s heart. But who is it worth for?
What kind of box is this? The Collector’s Box of Diablo 4, also known as the Collector’s Box, is a limited package that includes 6 unique items matching Diablo 4. However, the game is not included.
How much does the Collector’s Box cost? The German Collector’s Box of Diablo 4 costs 109.66 euros and can be purchased from Blizzard at eu.gear.blizzard.com.

Diablo IV Collector’s Edition Art Book – an art book with over 300 pages
For whom is the Collector’s Box worth it? As the name of the box suggests, the package is primarily worth it for collectors and fans of the game series. If you only want the game, then it is not worth buying, as it is not included.
However, if you want some Diablo 4 collectibles or keepsakes of the action RPG and plan to buy the game anyway, then acquiring the Collector’s Edition might be worth it for you.
Moreover, the Collector’s Box is relatively “cheap” compared to other current Collector’s Editions. The CE of the new God of War, for instance, costs a whopping 214.99 € (via Playstation.com). You will still pay less for Diablo 4, even if you buy the most expensive edition with the game.

Meanwhile, more details about the Battle Pass of Diablo 4 are known:
According to reports, Amazon is planning a series in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and Witcher star Henry Cavill is expected to play a role in it.
Who is Henry Cavill? Henry Cavill is a British actor. He is known for his role as Geralt of Rivia in the Netflix adaptation of The Witcher, which he portrayed in the first three seasons of the series.
He also played Superman/ Clark Kent in Zack Snyder’s Superman film “Man of Steel” as well as in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”, “Justice League”, and “Black Adam”.
As the 39-year-old informed his fans on Instagram in December 2022, he will no longer portray the role of Superman. He also announced in October 2022 that he would step down from the Witcher role of Geralt of Rivia after the third season.
Update, December 16, 2022, 3:00 PM: We updated the article a few hours after its publication with new information after Henry Cavill commented on a role in the Warhammer universe.
Cavill is to play a role in Amazon’s Warhammer series
What kind of role is it? As reported by the Hollywood Reporter – a US film trade magazine – Henry Cavill is expected to play a role in a series planned by Amazon that is based on the “Warhammer 40,000” universe. Additionally, he is expected to be involved in a producing capacity.
This is what Henry Cavill says: At 2:00 PM German time, the 39-year-old actor confirmed on Instagram that he is involved in bringing a “Warhammer Cinematic Universe” to life, which has found “the perfect home” at Amazon.
For 30 years I have dreamed of seeing a Warhammer universe in live action. Now, after 22 years of experience in this industry, I finally feel that I have the skills and experience to bring a Warhammer Cinematic Universe to life. Working with Natalie Viscuso at Vertigo has been an indescribable blessing; without her, we might not have found the perfect home at Amazon.
And having a home like Amazon will give us the freedom to stay true to the immense scope of Warhammer. To all the Warhammer fans out there: I promise to respect this IP that we love. I promise to offer you something familiar. And I strive to provide you with something fantastic that has not been seen before.
What is Warhammer 40K? Warhammer 40,000 is originally a tabletop game where players command an army and defeat another player’s troops.
In the world of Warhammer 40K, there is almost always war. Humanity is ruled by a totalitarian regime that is besieged by aliens and dark forces.
However, in addition to the original tabletop game, there are now other titles in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The latest installment in the series, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, was released on November 30, 2022, and had over 100,000 players on Steam within a day.
Ravenous Devils is a horror cooking simulator from the developer Bad Vice Games. You run a tailor shop where you kill people and a pub where you prepare and sell their meat.
Players aged 18 and over can experience bloody gameplay in the point-and-click simulator, characterized by dark humor. The characters are grotesque, but in a way also likable.
The game costs €3.99 on Steam and received 97% positive reviews in the last 30 days. Additionally, Ravenous Devils is available for the Switch, PS4/PS5, and Xbox Series.
Whoever comes for a fitting dies
What kind of game is this? In Ravenous Devils, you play as the characters Percival and Hildred, a couple who move to a new town. You buy a multi-story house – the top is for Percival’s tailor shop, the middle is Hildred’s pub. At the very bottom is the kitchen, where they prepare their dishes with a special ingredient: human flesh. But no one must know.
Percival places clothes on the mannequins in his sales area that customers can buy. However, if a customer wants the tailor to take their measurements, they must enter a separate room where the tailor then kills them. You remove the clothes that collect in a pile next to the sewing machine. The body is thrown down a hatch that leads to the kitchen.
Each interaction occurs with a simple mouse click, while for the rest you can watch the respective character.
Here you can see the trailer for Ravenous Devils:

Ravenous Devils: The Trailer for the Game on Steam
Once a corpse arrives in the kitchen, Hildred takes it to process it into minced meat, sausages, or other meat products. Together with some flour, the meat goes into the oven, et voila – a meat pie. She then brings it upstairs to the sales area, where unsuspecting customers gratefully accept it.
If you have earned enough money, you can unlock upgrades. These include an additional oven, a greenhouse, and new recipes.
The story of Ravenous Devils continues every few in-game days. You sometimes receive letters or see a cutscene. Once, a boy comes by looking for his mother because she hasn’t returned home from the tailor. Percival and Hildred, of course, have no idea where she is. When the boy asks for something to eat, Hildred gives him a free meat pie and sends him home.
The Steam community is excited about Ravenous Devils. We have compiled a few comments from the reviews for you:
Joanne Fangs: “Ravenous Devils is disgustingly funny and a great game that you can complete in about 5 hours.”
Styrian: “I had no expectations for the game, but I liked everything about it. The two main characters, the gameplay, and everything in between.”
Brenmar: “Very nice game, graphics with a love for details, story with heavy dark humor. Not a game for the faint-hearted or those who want to solve everything with a flower in hand.”
Toetoe: “Surprisingly good! I would have paid 10 euros for it instead of 4.”
What do you think of Ravenous Devils? Are you excited to try the horror cooking simulator, or does the gameplay sound too grotesque for you? Is dark humor something for you?

A dream for night elves in World of Warcraft comes true. After 18 years, you can finally look like a real warden – and that permanently.
Playing a night elf as depicted in Warcraft III – this is a long-standing dream for many players in World of Warcraft, now for almost 18 years. But with Dragonflight and the upcoming Patch 10.0.5, this dream is set to become a visual reality. The next update brings two new sets that allow your characters to run around as wardens.
What kind of set is this? The colleagues at wowhead have already identified two new sets on the PTR of Patch 10.0.5 named “Moon Warden Set” and “Sun Warden Set”.
The “Sun Warden” set features the typical colors of night elf wardens, that is, a dark green with golden embellishments and some metallic elements.
In contrast, the “Moon Warden” set is in silvery colors of the moon and visually resembles the attire of night elf priestesses.
What’s interesting about these sets is that they feature both a half skirt and pants – which basically doesn’t exist for players in World of Warcraft so far.
The “Sun Warden” set from Patch 10.0.5. Image source: wowhead
What are wardens? Wardens have a special role in the society of the night elves and are not only jailers of prisoners but also serve as a kind of “police” for the Kaldorei. They are responsible for tracking down criminals and usually also execute the judgment. Wardens are highly respected in the culture of the night elves, and very few manage to join this order.
How to get the sets? The current plan is to make this possible through the trading post. This is a new system being introduced with Patch 10.0.5.
At the trading post, players with active playtime regularly receive “trade currencies” at the beginning of a month and can earn more throughout the month. These currencies can then be exchanged for rewards – such as mounts, toys, pets, or special transmog sets.
The “Moon Warden” set from Patch 10.0.5 has more priestly colors. Image source: wowhead
As of now, these two “warden” sets will be sold for trade currencies.
Toy provides a substitute: At least temporarily, players are already able to transform their character into a warden. During the Legion expansion (and even now), players could earn the toy “Sira’s Replacement Cloak” from the “Wardens” faction. This transforms the player’s character visually into a warden for a few minutes, but has a 2-hour cooldown and is therefore only suitable for temporary transformations.
With Patch 10.0.5, a long-held night elf dream is set to come true, and everyone will be able to express their inner “Maiev” – role players will especially look forward to this new feature.
How do you like the two sets? Would you let your night elf run around as a warden?

Blizzard has released new information about Diablo 4 in a stream. This included, among other things, the controversial Collector’s Edition, some features of the game, and a topic that many fans are concerned about: Battle Pass and monetization.
The most important things at a glance:
On December 16 at 8:00 PM, there was a stream about Diablo 4 that lasted about an hour. You can watch it on Twitch afterwards.
Diablo 4 will have a Battle Pass, which will run for 3 months, with a free and a paid path. The premium version will cost $10, so it is likely to cost 10 Euros as well.
What’s included in the Battle Pass? The developers explain in the stream that the Battle Pass will include both cosmetics and certain “boosts,” such as for experience points. However, these will be included in the free path, so everyone will have access to them, and a pay-to-win factor is excluded.
The paid path costs $10 and is expected to provide more cosmetics. In addition to the Battle Pass, there will also be the Seasonal Journey, as you already know from Diablo 3. Here you can complete tasks that reward you with “Favor,” which will allow you to progress in the Battle Pass.
Certain boosts in the Battle Pass require a certain character level, so you cannot just buy Battle Pass levels to progress faster. This limit also applies if you have gained level-ups, for example, through the expensive Ultimate Edition.
In the stream, the developers showed the new cinematic multiple times, in which the most important angel in Diablo is introduced for the first time:

Diablo 4: The trailer for the release date
Diablo 4: Season 1 starts only “weeks after release”
Diablo 4 will feature seasons, like Diablo 2 (back then still as “Ladder”). Seasons are large content updates that come with new content such as quests, monsters, and tasks. The seasons as well as the Battle Pass will each run for 3 months.
The Game Director, Joe Shely, explains that the first season will start only “weeks after the release” of Diablo 4. This way, no one has an advantage on the leaderboards if they get early access by pre-ordering the deluxe or ultimate edition.
Joe Shely recently talked with Diablo chief Rod Ferguson about what makes Diablo 4 so special:
All major updates for Diablo 4 will be completely free. The developers have not yet provided information regarding DLCs and expansions, but we assume that they will be charged as they were in Diablo 3.
Diablo 4 will be released on June 6, 2023, and you can already pre-order the game to guarantee access to the beta. The action RPG is one of the most important releases of 2023:
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the riot shield is currently considered a nuisance. A nerf in the mid-season was the result. However, players are disappointed with the changes, as the weakening did not hit the target precisely.
The riot shield has a dubious reputation in Call of Duty. It is considered toxic, as it allows players to break normal gameplay patterns and approach an enemy who is firing with the trigger pulled without taking damage.
It first appeared in the original CoD MW2 from 2009. And now, 13 years later, the riot shield has reached a kind of peak. In a large number of matches, at least one player is carrying a shield.
The developers are apparently keeping an eye on this trend and thought during the mid-season: “It’s time for a serious nerf!” But apparently, they didn’t look closely enough – because the strong nerf is not bringing the desired effect for many players.
Currently, there is a free weekend in CoD MW2 including double XP until 19.12.22. Here are a few tips for leveling weapons in the video:

CoD MW2: 3 tips for quickly leveling up your weapons
This nerfed the playstyle when using the riot shield as a primary weapon.
Why didn’t the nerf take effect? The problem is that the shield is currently used less as a primary weapon. Instead, players are using it as a back shield.
Because if you don’t have the shield in front of you, you carry it on your back, and it still prevents malicious bullets from piercing you.
Especially on the new map Shipment, the problem becomes obvious. Many players come in here to level a specific weapon or farm kills like mad.
Together with the perk “Overkill” or Akimbo pistols, the shield is set as a secondary weapon and serves as a turtle shell on the back:

It was exactly these turtle battles that annoyed many players. But the nerf went straight past the target to the back of a shield player – no effect.
The magnitude of the topic in the community can be observed on Reddit. In the CoD MW2 subreddit, currently 2 of the top 10 threads are dealing with the topic of riot shields.
A 26-day-old thread with almost 12,000 upvotes addresses the problem of back protection (via reddit.com). Also in the current nerf thread (via reddit.com), which gathered over 9,700 upvotes in 2 days, there is extensive discussion about it (as of 16.12.22 / 11:30 a.m.).
How the topic will progress from here remains to be seen. However, many players wish for a change here and fewer turtle battles.
We also want to hear your opinion on the topic. How many years has the shield been a nuisance to you? Do you play with it yourself? How would you nerf it? Leave a comment on the topic.
The new expansion Dragonflight for World of Warcraft is just around the corner. As always, there are plenty of cool mounts on the Dragon Isles waiting to become part of your collection. MeinMMO reveals how to earn the new mounts.
How do you earn the mounts? Most new mounts will be available as rewards for a variety of activities you can complete daily in the game, just like in previous expansions. You need to find hidden treasures, defeat rare enemies, or achieve certain feats.
However, some mounts are hidden behind tricky puzzles. Others can simply be purchased from vendors. Generally, you need to gain a certain amount of reputation with a faction to do so. Currently, it is particularly worthwhile to hunt for old mounts, as 5 of the rarest mounts are now available.
How many mounts are there on the Dragon Isles? Currently, around 30 mounts are known to be making their way to Azeroth with Dragonflight. That’s significantly fewer than in previous expansions, as the Shadowlands had over 100 mounts.
But don’t worry, in addition to the normal mounts, the Dragon Isles also bring the ability to ride dragons. This is an integral feature of the expansion. You will get your own dragon and can customize its appearance in detail.
It is also very likely that further mounts and customization options for your dragons will be implemented with later patches. By the way, Dragonflight will be released on November 29. Here are 3 things you should complete beforehand while you can.
You can watch how dragon riding works in this video:

4 Minutes of Gameplay for Dragon Riding, the new feature in WoW Dragonflight
Dragon Riding Made Easy
Throughout the Dragonflight campaign, you will gradually unlock 4 base forms. You can further customize these as you wish, such as through specific glyphs. Here we show you an addon that displays the locations of dragon riding glyphs. With a wide range of shapes, colors, and other features, your imagination knows no bounds.
The 4 base forms are:
Renewed Proto-Dragon – You will receive this dragon as a reward for the achievement “Awakening Hope”. To do so, you must complete the quest lines at the coast of Awakening.
Windborn Velocidrake – This dragon model will be available during the campaign. It is part of the quest lines in the Plains of Ohn’ahra.
Highland Dragon – You will unlock this dragon during the campaign in the Azure Mountains.
Cliffwild Drake – This dragon will also be available during the campaign. You will unlock it by completing the quest lines in the zone Thaldraszus.
Later, more customization options for your dragons will be added. So far, a Primalist form and a form for the Gladiator mount are known.
Lizi, Thunderback Chomper
What is this mount? Lizi, Thunderback Chomper is a large lizard.
How do I get it? To obtain this mount, you must complete the quest “Taming the Thunderback Made Easy”. You can find the quest in the Plains of Ohn’ahra, but before it begins, you must first reach Reputation Level 9 with the Centaurs of Maruuk.
Then you can start the quest “Sneaking In” with Initiate Radiya. You will find the NPC at the Springs of Ohn’Iri at coordinates 56.12 / 77.01. Once you have completed these quests, 5 more quests will become available. However, these have a 24-hour cooldown, so you can only complete one quest per day.
The tasks are quite simple: You must collect a certain amount of items, which you can also purchase from the auction house if necessary. The only item for the last quest is not available at the auction house; you must buy it from a vendor.
Day 1 – Collect 20 units of “Fluorescent Liquid” from insects on the Dragon Isles. Where you farm doesn’t matter much, as all insect monsters drop this item.
Day 2 – Collect 20 units of “Fibrous Leaf” from plant creatures on the Dragon Isles. All creatures of this type drop the item.
Day 3 – Collect 10 “Thousandbite Piranha”. This fish can be fished anywhere on the Dragon Isles.
Day 4 – Collect 20 units of “Woolly Mountain Fur” from mammoths or yaks on the Dragon Isles.
Day 5 – Deliver 1 “Meluun’s Green Curry”. You can obtain this item from the NPC “Ohn Meluun”. You will find the vendor at coordinates 53.51 / 78.98.
You do not have to complete the quests on consecutive days. You can take as much time as you want between steps. This means that if you start the first quest on a Monday, you can either complete the second quest the next day or wait a few days later.
Zenet Chick
What is this mount? The Zenet Chick is a red bird.
How do I get it? The Zenet Chick hatches from the Zenet Egg, which is dropped by the monster Zenet Avis. You can find this mob in the Plains of Ohn’ahra near Teerakai at coordinates 31.6 / 64.0. It is a rare mob with a long respawn time, so you will need either a lot of luck or a bit of patience until you can snag the egg from the bird.
Shade Stalker
What is this mount? The Shade Stalker is a large mammoth with even larger tusks.
How do I get this mount? To obtain this mount, you need to complete the world event “Centaur Hunt.” To participate in the hunt, you need Reputation Level 5 with the Maruuk Centaurs.
The Centaur Hunt is a world event that can take place anywhere on the Dragon Isles. However, the Shade Stalker is only awarded for completing the first weekly completion of the world event. If you have more than one character participating in the hunt, you can increase your chances of obtaining the rare mount.
Divine Kiss of Ohn’ahra
What is this mount? This mount is also a bird. It shares the model with the Zenet Chick but is white instead of red.
How do I get this mount? This mount requires a bit more work. First, you need to reach Reputation Level 9 with the Maruuk Centaurs. You can find the Centaurs in the Plains of Ohn’ahra.
Look for Adept Radiya and start the quest line that the NPC offers you. Once completed, you can talk to the NPC “Godoloto.” After that, you will need to gather 3 different materials.
You can obtain the “Stolen Breath of Ohn’ahra” as loot from the last boss of the dungeon “Assault on the Nokhud.” You can purchase “Essence of Awakening” from the equipment master of the Maruuk Centaurs. You need Reputation Level 7 for this. The last item “Magnificent Incense” can be crafted by alchemists. Once you have gathered all the items, “Goldoloto” will offer you a quest. Complete this quest to add another mount to your collection.
Vorquin
What is this mount? The Vorquin are the mounts of the Dracthyr. These mounts come in several color variants. Additionally, you can acquire them with or without armor. A total of 8 versions are available.
How do I get this mount? You can obtain the Vorquin either in the starting area of the Dracthyr or in Valdrakken, the capital of the Dragon Isles:
Azureflutter Dragonfly, Deep Green Dragonfly, and Tamed Dragonfly
What is this mount? These two mounts share a model but differ in coloration. As the name suggests, they are dragonflies.
How do I get this mount? You acquire the mounts by reaching Reputation Level 25 with the Dragon Isles Expedition. You can either buy them directly or exchange them for various materials from the expansion.
Ottuks
What is this mount? Ottuks are cute otters, and you can acquire several of these adorable creatures.
How do I get this mount? For the Ivory Dealer’s Ottuk, you need to exchange 3 rings that you can loot in the dungeons of Dragonflight. The Iskaara Dealer’s Ottuk can be exchanged for 2 necklaces that you loot in the raids of Dragonflight. The otters are offered by Tattakiaka. You will find the vendor in the Azure Mountains.
You can buy the brown or yellow Scout Ottuk at Reputation Level 25 from the Tuskarr of Iskaara. The brown or yellow War Ottuks are available from the Tuskarr of Iskaara at the maximum Reputation Level 30.
Stormfang Salamanther
What is this mount? The Stormfang Salamanther is a lizard.
How do I get this mount? The Stormfang Salamanther can be purchased from Mythressa in Valdrakken for 2000 Elemental Overflow. You earn this resource by participating in the world event of the Primalist Invasions.
Armor Slapper
What is this mount? Armor Slapper is a snail. Made of lava!
How do I get this mount? The lava snail is obtained for the meta achievement “Hero’s Glory” in the dungeon category. So you need to complete various tricky tasks in the dungeons of Dragonflight.
What is this mount? Magma House is also a lava snail, but this time completely with a shell.
How do I get this mount? Near the Obsidian Citadel, you can farm a “Hollow Magma Shell” from the mobs “Magma Siphoner” and “Basalt Snail”. This item that you need for Magma House can also be bought at the auction house.
Then head to the Scalesmasher Fortress, where you’ll find a large lava pool. At the bottom of this lava basin, you will find the “Empowered Snail.” Once you have the “Hollow Magma Shell” in your inventory, you can interact with the snail.
Once clicked, a channeling will start. You must successfully complete this, and then the mount will belong to you. But beware, the lava deals significant damage. So bring a healer along or use the toy “Eternal Horn of Lava Swimming,” which you can obtain for completing the first weekly quest of the Dragonflight Fortress.

What is this mount? Another lava snail!
How do I get this mount? The mount is sold by merchant Vexil at the Coast of Awakening for a whopping 1000 Magma Articles. We will show you where to get the Magma Articles in the video.

Hailstorm Armoredon

How do I get this mount? This mount is a reward for the achievement “Keystone Master of Dragonflight: Season 1.” So you need to complete Mythic+ dungeons.
Liberator Slyvern
What is this mount? Slyvern are a mix of fox and wyvern; this one comes in a grayish coloration.
How do I get this mount? This is not yet known. Apparently, it has something to do with the rare mob “Brisenbiss” in the Azure Mountains. However, it is unclear whether the mount will drop as loot. You might have to invest some more work and time.
Tempestuous Skyclaw
What is this mount? The Skyclaw is also a Slyvern. This specimen is reddish-brown, like a fox.
How do I get this mount? For the Tempestuous Skyclaw, you need to collect various types of meat. How to get this mount, we will reveal in this guide:
What is this mount? This mount is a spectral otter.

Otto
What is this mount? Finally, another Ottuk, this time with a gray-blue color scheme.
How do I get this mount? You need to complete the quest “The Way to the Heart of an Otto.” We do not know where this quest is located at this time.
More mounts from Dragonflight
Data miners have found even more mounts in the data of Dragonflight, such as a blue mammoth. However, these mounts usually don’t have proper names, just descriptions (like “MammothblueV2”) and no known locations. Once we know more, we will let you know.
Can you hardly wait for the release of Dragonflight? Or are you still a bit hesitant? Perhaps the mounts convince you to take a look? Feel free to leave us a comment!
Patch 10.0.5 of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is already in the works. Blizzard has revealed the first content, and we show what’s in the update.
The release of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is still less than 3 weeks ago, but Blizzard aims to adopt a significantly more aggressive strategy regarding the release of new content. The first sign of this is already on the PTR, as the first small content patch, Update 10.0.5, is being tested.
What’s in Patch 10.0.5 of WoW: Dragonflight
Trading Post – New Items for Loyal Players
One of the biggest new “side features” will be the Trading Post in World of Warcraft. This is a new building that you can find in Orgrimmar (Horde) and Stormwind (Alliance). The basic idea here is that there will be vendors with changing inventory every month, where you can buy special items. These items include:
Exclusive mounts
Pets
Toys
Transmog sets
Although many of the rewards have been completely newly developed, you can also obtain items from the Trading Post that have been in the game for a long time but are no longer available. These could be rewards from the discontinued “Warcraft Trading Card Game”, but also items that were previously available in the shop for real money.
Many new sets and items will soon be available at the Trading Post.
Items are purchased there with “Trader’s currencies.” Every active account (that is not banned or suspended) receives 500 of these currencies for free on the first day of the month. Another 500 currencies can be earned through various tasks each month.
The missions cover all sorts of content – whether PvE, PvP, pet battles, professions, or “Other”, such as naming all dragon aspects with “/love”.
There will be numerous missions, so you have a wide range of options to earn Trader’s currencies.
Revisions of Several Classes
Blizzard is also using Patch 10.0.5 to significantly overhaul some of the classes and specializations of WoW: Dragonflight again. Some talent trees will be drastically changed once again.
The biggest changes will be for druids: They will receive major overhauls of their talent trees in the “Guardian” and “Balance” specializations, but even feral druids will receive some adjustments. Many talents will change their position in the talent tree.
Further (less extensive) adjustments will occur for the following classes and specializations:
Transmogrification: Finally for White and Gray Items
Even before the release of Dragonflight, Blizzard announced this feature and disappointed some fans by not including it in the game at release. Now the developers are fulfilling the promise:
White and gray items can künftig be used for transmogrification. However, this also means that these items will then be “bound on equip” – so you can’t just pass them around the whole realm.
While many don’t pay attention to white and gray items at all, there are a number of clothing pieces with special appearances that are only available in white or gray quality. Especially the “more common” clothing of the inhabitants of Azeroth is often white or gray.
Be aware that all of this information pertains to an early version of Patch 10.0.5. Some of the content may still change before release, and it is quite possible that more content will be added later.
More Freedom for Fishermen
If you enjoy fishing in World of Warcraft, you have already unlocked many cosmetic traits for this profession. There are many toys that visually adjust the float of your fishing rod.
However, the reality so far has been that most players simply use the “Oversized Floater” as it makes the float significantly larger, making it easier to click on.
With Patch 10.0.5, this will also be a problem of the past. You will receive a new toy called the “Reusable Oversized Floater.” This is combinable with all other floaters, so soon you can use your favorite floater and make it particularly large. This should provide a bit more visual variety when fishing.
You will receive the toy when you catch a total of 100 fish with the oversized floater.
When will Patch 10.0.5 be released? There is currently no reliable release date for the update. However, smaller “0.5 patches” are generally tested for significantly shorter periods than large updates. Thus, a rough release date can be aimed for the end of January 2023 or early February 2023.
However, it should be noted that Blizzard usually takes about two weeks off over Christmas, during which the developers are with their families and enjoy the holidays. So this time should be taken into account for a potential release date.
Are you looking forward to the first patch for Dragonflight? Or do you still have plenty of work with the current content, so that no new content is needed right now?
Steam lets you try out some games for free every weekend. This time, the popular MMORPG New World is included.
During the free weekend, you can now try New World for free until Monday, December 19th. Since it doesn’t offer a demo that can be downloaded for free, it’s a good opportunity to test the game.
If you decide to buy it after the test, you can continue playing with your account and game progress. So you don’t have to start over. Currently, New World is on sale for 19.99 euros on Steam.
New World wants to attract new players
With the event, the developers at Amazon Games are probably trying to lure new players into the MMORPG. Recently, this was a huge success with the Fresh Start servers – Now it continues with a free weekend.
They also released a new trailer that explains what New World is:
Start video
New trailer for the MMORPG New World
There are no restrictions while testing the game, except for the real money shop. You can’t make purchases in the shop while testing New World over the weekend.
Can I join any server? When you start the game, you need to choose one of the servers. It doesn’t matter whether you choose one of the recently launched Fresh Start servers or one of the older ones.
It’s important that the server is not marked as “full”, as you cannot join as a test player then.
Want to take advantage of the free weekend on Steam to try out New World? Are you choosing a Fresh Start server or one of the old ones for that? Or are you already playing it and hoping that your friends will start too, and that generally more players will come into the MMORPG? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO!

If one of your team members is injured or killed in Genshin Impact, you have different options for how to heal and revive them. Here you will find an overview of how to do this.
Are you currently in a fierce boss fight and your team is heavily injured? Or do you want to revive your defeated characters after an encounter? There are several ways you can restore your characters’ health points:
Archon Statues
Dishes
Healer Characters
Here you can see the trailer for version 3.3 in Genshin Impact:
Start video
Genshin Impact Trailer Version 3.3 – „All Senses Clear, All Existence Void“
Teleport to an Archon Statue
The easiest way to revive characters in Genshin Impact after a fight is to walk to an Archon Statue or simply teleport there.
You can toggle the “Blessing of the Statue” feature on or off to determine whether your characters should be automatically healed as soon as you are near such a statue.
You can also adjust the percentage by which your characters are healed. The upper display also lets you see how much blessing is left. Over time, the blessing automatically replenishes.
Here you can see the statue display
Give your team certain meals
You can restore your team’s health points during or after battles by using certain meals. You can also use this feature to revive fallen characters.
Note: During the battle, the characters can only eat a certain amount of food before they are full. You cannot heal them endlessly with food.
There is also a certain period of time that runs after using revival dishes before you can use such a dish again.
You can recognize the dishes that revive characters by the green symbol with two wings. The dishes with green plus signs restore health points for injured characters.
In the upper left, you can see which dishes heal and revive based on the symbols
Use a healer character in the team
Lastly, you have the option during the battle to use certain characters’ abilities that can heal their teammates.
You can use Barbara as a healer
These characters include:
Barbara
Qiqi
Sayu
Diona
Jean
Bennett
Xingqiu
Kuki Shibobu
Sangonomiya Kokomi
Noelle
It’s best to take a look at the character handbook. From the descriptions of their talents, you can check which healing abilities the respective characters have.
More about Genshin Impact can be found here at MeinMMO:
When do I use which healing? Before or after combat situations, it makes sense to briefly teleport to an Archon Statue and take advantage of the blessing. With the available healing quota, you can usually get through a day quite well and save resources.
If you are in the middle of a fight and are already well on your way to taking down the opponent, then dishes and healing characters are your friends. Therefore, always equip yourself sufficiently with appropriate meals before you dive into large battles.
In Pokémon GO you can now catch Purmel, Puponcho, and Vivillon. However, Vivillon comes in 18 different patterns which you can unlock with a new feature.
What kind of Pokémon are these? Surprisingly, Pokémon GO released a new Pokémon family on the night of December 16. Just a few hours earlier, the team showed a small teaser. But now you can obtain Purmel and its evolutions Puponcho and Vivillon in Pokémon GO.
The 18 different patterns make the Pokémon particularly interesting for collectors. To unlock the patterns, you need postcards.
Unlock Wing Patterns for Vivillon with Postcards
A look at the Pokémon: If you are not familiar with the new Pokémon, you can take a first look at them in the following graphic:
What is special about it? With 18 different wing patterns, Vivillon is available in Pokémon GO. This should excite collectors. By collecting and pinning postcards from other trainers, from PokéStops or gyms that come from other regions, you can unlock them.
Niantic explains it this way:
By pinning postcards from permissible regions, the Vivillon collector medal is unlocked, and progress is made in the sub-medals for the origin region of the postcards. As you make progress in the sub-medals, you can encounter Purmel. Purmel from different regions evolves into Vivillon with different patterns!
In the trailer for the new Pokémon, you can see how the new mechanic works in Pokémon GO. In the comments on YouTube, trainers are very excited about how Niantic has upgraded the gift system:

What Vivillon patterns are there and where can you find them?
This is how it works: The first time you pin a postcard, you unlock the Vivillon collector medal. After that, a brief tutorial in the game will show you how to encounter Purmel.
“Additionally, you can receive sub-medals for the Vivillon collector medal by pinning postcards from other regions. You can pin both your own postcards and those received from friends. These sub-medals belong to the different regions with Vivillon patterns,” explains Niantic.
“For the first sub-medal, you need to collect three postcards from a region with a Vivillon pattern. Once you’ve received a sub-medal, you can achieve further progress to encounter Purmel more often as a reward! The number of postcards required to increase the rank of the sub-medal increases with each rank advancement.”
You can pin up to 3 of your own postcards daily to make progress.
You can check your progress on Vivillon patterns anytime in the Vivillon collector medal.
What you need to know: Purmel from different regions evolves into Vivillon, which have different wing patterns. The pattern they take on is determined by the climate of their habitats. So, if you collect postcards from cold regions of the world, you can encounter Purmel, which then evolves into Vivillon with the snowy field pattern.
There are currently 18 patterns available in Pokémon GO:
Archipelago
Continental
Ornament
Decorative garden
Drought
Frost
Jungle
Aquamarine
Sea of flowers
Innovation
Monsoon
Ocean
Snowy field
River delta
Sandstorm
Savannah
Sun
Flake
You can see on the map that we are embedding here, where the habitats of the different Vivillon are. But you can also find the overview of Vivillon in the Pokédex.
The habitats of Vivillon with different wing patterns
How do you like the new feature that Niantic has tied to the different wing patterns? Do you like that gifts and postcards are finding better use again, or should the developers have structured the mechanic differently for your satisfaction?
For many fans of World of Warcraft, this is good news: the story veteran Chris Metzen is returning to the WoW team.
Those who are attached to the “old Blizzard” have had to endure several setbacks in recent years. This is not only regarding the big scandals of the company but also the departure of many well-known and popular developers. One of them was Chris Metzen, whom many refer to as the “father of Warcraft.” Those who have never come to terms with this departure can now rejoice – because Chris Metzen is back on the WoW team.
What was announced? John Hight, the current “General Manager” of the Warcraft franchise, announced via Twitter the return of Chris Metzen. In the tweet, he said:
Citizens of Azeroth,
It is with great pleasure that I announce today that Chris Metzen has joined the leadership team of Warcraft as a creative advisor. Chris will initially focus on World of Warcraft, then expand his work to other projects in the growing franchise.
Chris was one of the original team members who worked on the Warcraft universe back in 1994 and we are so happy to unify him again with the world he helped create.

Who is Chris Metzen? Chris Metzen is one of the earliest members of Blizzard and is likely still remembered by long-time veterans of World of Warcraft. He is considered the creative mind behind the story and a large part of the world of Azeroth has sprung from his ideas.
Interestingly, in the English original of World of Warcraft, Metzen also voices some important characters – including the orc Thrall or the former fire lord Ragnaros.
Chris Metzen left Blizzard in 2016 due to suffering from several illnesses, including burnout.
More about World of Warcraft can be found here on MeinMMO:
Community celebrates the return: The news is being well received within the player base and many see this return as another “victory” for World of Warcraft, aligning with current events. In the WoW subreddit, the announcement reached over 6,000 upvotes in less than 4 hours. For many fans, this is just another confirmation that a lot has changed within WoW in a short time and that the game is now on a much better long-term path. Some voices from the community on this topic:
“I’m glad to see him again in any capacity, as long as he is doing well after his burnout.”
“Dad is finally back after going to get milk and cigarettes.”
“Damn, the bronze dragons are really messing with the timelines.”
What do you think about Chris Metzen’s return? Is it good that the story veteran is back on board? Or is it better if there are more new faces and fewer of the ‘old’ developers?

If you prefer to farm plants, you can do that too. If you then process them into healing potions in your fortress, you can also sell them for good gold.
What is worth it? Especially as a beginner, it is difficult to estimate what can actually earn gold and what is not worth it. However, as a rule of thumb, you can sell anything you would also need yourself.
The collectible items needed to complete the adventure folio can be sold very well. Some of them are currently worth over 600 gold each.
All types of raw materials that you need to farm and for which you have to spend your valuable labor points are worth selling.
Engraving instructions and engraving stones always bring you a solid yield. Finding the right engravings and stones for your character is difficult, so many players prefer to buy these rather than search for them for a long time.
Jump stones and fusion materials are an endless source of gold if you no longer need them.
All kinds of upgrade materials are an interesting way to earn a lot of gold. For many players, Gearscore is decisive, which is why some players prefer to spend gold rather than farm.
5. Procyon’s Compass as a reliable source of gold
What does it bring? Procyon’s Compass is another form of daily tasks that promise you some rewards. What you receive there depends on the respective task. You access the compass through one of the small buttons under your minimap.
There you can see when the next world boss is coming up, the next ghost ship, the next chaos portal, or today’s adventure islands. All possible tasks reward you handsomely and should be completed every day.
At the same time, not all of them appear every day. For instance, chaos portals and world bosses never occur on the same day, except for Sunday. Adventure islands, on the other hand, appear every day, on weekends two, but daily three different ones.
How does it work? If you want pure gold, you should focus on the chaos portals, which appear every two days, and the daily adventure islands.
The chaos portals appear on the days they are available every two hours with different gear scores and offer content for 30 players. You then fight your way through a dungeon for about 5 minutes.
At the end, there is always a legendary card to a secret dungeon, which is usually auctioned for several thousands of gold, and you will receive a share of that. With a bit of luck, you can also drop one of these cards yourself. Even if it’s not legendary, you will always find a card.
You should complete these usually together with other players to maximize your loot. These secret dungeons are the only place in the game where you drop unbound shards for upgrading. These can then be sold for a lot of gold.
Directly in the compass, you can see which islands are scheduled for today and what they will bring you
Unlike the adventure islands, there are always three different ones that also appear every two hours. You can choose one of them daily and complete it. In Procyon’s Compass, you can see directly which rewards the respective islands have today. These vary; Snowpang Island may have cards today and gold tomorrow, so you need to check regularly.
What is worth it? There are always four different rewards for the islands that do not change. They simply rotate through the day and island:
Silver Island: Rewards you with a lot of silver
Card Island: Rewards you with card packages, card experience, and a little silver
Seacoin Island: Rewards you with 5 chests of 100 seacoins of your choice, some pirate coins, and a bit of silver.
Gold Island: Rewards you with gold and a little silver
Additionally, each island has its own possible rewards, such as certain cards, skins, or runes.
The value and quantity of practically everything on the adventure islands is determined by your gear score. Nevertheless, it can be said that the gold island usually pays off the most and the silver island the least. Cards and seacoins should be evaluated based on your own needs.
6. Bonus: You can also buy gold for real money
How does it work? There are several ways to turn real money into gold. First, you need to know that there are two types of real money currency in Lost Ark. The royal crystals, which you can buy directly for real money, and the crystals, a sort of intermediate currency.
You can buy regular crystals with royal crystals. These normal crystals can also be bought with gold. Hence, the crystals act as a bridge between the currencies and can earn you a lot of gold with real money.
The exchange rate between the two currencies is not fixed but varies with supply and demand.
Buy and sell items: Since some items from the cash shop are not bound to characters, you can often skip the step through the normal crystals.
To do this, you simply buy unbound items in the store. Then, you offer them for a gold price in the auction house and wait until someone wants them.
Those were 6 tips on how to quickly obtain gold in Lost Ark. Do you have any further suggestions or tips on how to get gold? Or are you currently just grateful if you can gather the 100 gold to donate it to your guild? Feel free to write it in the comments here at MeinMMO.

The MMORPG Lost Ark launched in February, and like many other games in the genre, gold is often the most important currency. We at MeinMMO show you how to get a lot of gold quickly.
What do you need gold for? Gold is one of many different currencies in the MMORPG Lost Ark. However, it is hard to deny that it is one of the most important means of payment in the game.
You can not only donate gold to your guild, but it also serves as currency in the auction house and market, allowing players to trade with each other. Furthermore, you need gold if you want to upgrade your equipment beyond a certain value. NPCs, by the way, do not want gold from you; here you have better luck with silver.
Since most items in the game are not bound to characters or accounts and can thus be sold, you can buy almost anything in the game with enough gold.
Even things that can be purchased with real money can usually be sold for gold in the auction house. Therefore, we at MeinMMO share 5 tips for beginners, where you can earn a lot of gold and consequently almost everything else that you need.
Update from December 16, 2022: We have added and replaced some links in the article. Additionally, we have explained the daily tasks in more detail and clarified which chest is worth it when. Also, some numbers regarding the masterpieces have been brought up to date.
The tip to improve relationships with NPCs has been removed and replaced, as there has been no gold since the November update.

1. Complete collection tasks
What does it bring? In Lost Ark, there are countless different collectible items that you can pick up. Many of them cost more money than they yield in the end.
The items you should focus on are the so-called masterpieces. Unfortunately, you can find these only relatively rarely, but you can find some early in the game.
The more masterpieces you find, the more Lost Ark rewards you for it. If you have accumulated enough to earn a reward, you can collect your current rewards on Sunflower Island.
How does it work? Masterpieces are collectible items in Lost Ark. You receive them by completing various tasks, quests, or by filling adventure folios. It is also worth checking in on your fortress from time to time. The changing vendors that visit you often have a masterpiece to give away.
If you have collected some of them, you can get rewards from the NPC Alfonso on Sunflower Island, west of Pleccia. The painter only wants to see the masterpieces; so you do not lose them.
In total, you can find 52 different masterpieces in Lost Ark. Alfonso will reward you with increasing amounts. The first time you receive gold is when you have collected 20 masterpieces. Then Alfonso rewards you with 3,000 gold.
You have to fill some of these adventure folios
With 30 masterpieces, he releases another 5,000 gold. If you manage to collect 34, you will receive another 8,000 gold, and when you have found 38 pieces, the Sunflower painter will gift you another 13,000 gold. If you manage to collect all 52, you will receive a whopping 20,000 gold on top.
In total, you can earn 49,000 gold by collecting masterpieces. However, this is only a one-time thing, so it is not a long-term source of income. Nevertheless, the sum is still quite decent.
Which masterpieces can you easily get? If you consistently focus on collection tasks in the game, you will be thrown many of the masterpieces afterward. Exploration in the game will help you the most if you want to concentrate on that.
You will receive one masterpiece for each of the following tasks, which are relatively easy to earn:
You receive one for every 30 and 55 island hearts
Complete the quest “Artist in Residence” on Sunflower Island
Fill 50% of the adventure folio from East Luterra
Fill 50% of the adventure folio from Tortoyk
Fill 50% of the adventure folio from Anikka
Fill 50% of the adventure folio from North Vern
Fill 40% of the adventure folio from Shushire
Fill 40% of the adventure folio from Rohendel
Collect a total of 24 world tree leaves
Complete the quest series “The Light of Love” that starts on Loveheim Island
Complete level 25 in the tower
As random loot from secret dungeons
Buy for 10,000 pirate coins on the Vernesian research ship
2. Complete daily tasks
What does it bring? At level 50 and upon reaching North Vern, you unlock Unas tasks. This is the counterpart to daily and weekly quests in Lost Ark. It is best to follow the purple quest given to you to have the system explained to you in detail.
However, you only complete the tasks for one reason: a lot of gold. While you can also choose a faction and thus justify the backgrounds and motives of your tasks, in the end, you certainly want to see gold.
How does it work? Unas tasks in Lost Ark are based on a detailed point system, where daily tasks give you 2 points, while weekly quests grant you a total of 12 points.
After every 25, 35, 45, 55, and 70 points, you receive the so-called Unas tokens, and that is where the gold you want so badly is hidden. The daily tasks also provide some additional rewards in the form of useful materials.
To prevent you from grinding all 70 points immediately, you can only complete 3 daily and 3 weekly tasks per character. The higher your character’s item level, the more valuable tokens you receive. The points are reset to zero every Wednesday during the weekly reset.
Streamer Senderfn has explained how these tasks work here for you:

How much gold does this give? This depends a bit on luck and is thus not as certain as the other tips. However, you can always repeat these tasks, so theoretically, your gold has no limit.
With Unas tokens, you can obtain various gold chests that can contain different items. The chests always provide a minimum amount of gold plus a random drop, where you can get lucky.
These chests are:
Heavy gold sack for 80 tokens: Guarantees you 200 gold plus either a small gold bar worth 100 gold or a large gold bar worth 1,000 gold.
Small safe for 200 tokens: Guarantees you 600 gold plus either a small gold bar worth 100 gold or a large gold bar worth 1,000 gold.
Large gold chest for 500 tokens: Guarantees you 1,250 gold plus either a small gold bar worth 100 gold, a large gold bar worth 1,000 gold, or a giant gold bar worth 10,000 gold.
While in the smallest and largest chests you have a guaranteed value of 2.5 gold per token, in the medium safe, you have a guaranteed 3 gold per token. If you want to play it safe, you should always buy the medium safe. Those who trust their luck should opt for the large gold chest.
Therefore, you should always complete the daily tasks if you want to earn a lot of gold. However, if you ever don’t have time for that, you can even do so with real money.
3. Complete daily dungeons and raids
What does it bring? If you reach level 50 and have a Gearscore of 250, you unlock chaos dungeons and guardian raids. You can run two of each per day per character and receive certain rewards for that.
There is a specific currency that you receive from the dungeons, which you can exchange for various items, including gold bars. The main goal, however, is to defeat the second boss of the chaos dungeons, as that is where you can collect serious gold.
Guardian raids, on the other hand, do not reward you directly with gold. Instead, you receive unbound jump stones that can quickly be turned into gold on the market. A permanent and lucrative source of income.
How does it work? If you manage to defeat the second boss in the chaos dungeons, there is a chance that a portal will open. If you enter this portal, you can win a lot of gold.
How much you receive depends on two factors:
You receive more gold if the dungeon is more difficult
A higher item level also ensures that you receive more gold
This tip is thus more aimed at advanced beginners since you can only collect significant amounts of currency here once you have reached a minimum Gearscore.
Here’s what the dungeons look like:

But it’s not just chaos dungeons and guardian raids that bring you gold. Abyssal dungeons and later also legion raids reward you for weekly completions with up to 4,500 gold.
How much gold does this bring? This is difficult to estimate since the rewards vary greatly depending on the difficulty of the content and your own Gearscore.
You should definitely do these daily completions—they are guaranteed to pay off. Furthermore, there are always weekly quests for guardian raids and chaos dungeons, which make them doubly worthwhile.
4. Sell everything you don’t need
What does it bring? As mentioned at the beginning, almost no item in Lost Ark is bound to characters or accounts. This means that you can get rid of almost everything you do not need.
Since trading between players is always done with gold, the auction house is a solid source to keep your flow of gold steady. Especially if you enjoy getting your hands dirty, you can earn a lot of gold here.
Beyond upgrade materials and equipment, which obviously bring in quite a bit of gold, certain crafting materials can also be sold well, as can anything a lazy player does not like to farm themselves. This is where your profit lies.
It is impossible to say how much gold you can earn with this method, as prices depend on supply and demand and are constantly changing.
How does it work? From level 30 onwards, you unlock the auction house. There, you can buy and sell items for gold across servers and cities. This mostly pays off with items that require a certain amount of time.
You can earn a relatively large amount of gold right at the beginning by simply gathering everything you can find in stones and wood and then selling the raw materials. Since you primarily need wood and stones for the first levels of your fortress, trading them does particularly well.
To do this, you simply buy unbound items in the store. Then, you offer them for a gold price in the auction house and wait until someone wants them.
Those were 6 tips on how to quickly obtain gold in Lost Ark. Do you have any further suggestions or tips on how to get gold? Or are you currently just grateful if you can gather the 100 gold to donate it to your guild? Feel free to write it in the comments here at MeinMMO.
You should complete these usually together with other players to maximize your loot. These secret dungeons are the only place in the game where you drop unbound shards for upgrading. These can then be sold for a lot of gold.
Directly in the compass, you can see which islands are scheduled for today and what they will bring you
Unlike the adventure islands, there are always three different ones that also appear every two hours. You can choose one of them daily and complete it. In Procyon’s Compass, you can see directly which rewards the respective islands have today. These vary; Snowpang Island may have cards today and gold tomorrow, so you need to check regularly.
What is worth it? There are always four different rewards for the islands that do not change. They simply rotate through the day and island:
Silver Island: Rewards you with a lot of silver
Card Island: Rewards you with card packages, card experience, and a little silver
Seacoin Island: Rewards you with 5 chests of 100 seacoins of your choice, some pirate coins, and a bit of silver.
Gold Island: Rewards you with gold and a little silver
Additionally, each island has its own possible rewards, such as certain cards, skins, or runes.
The value and quantity of practically everything on the adventure islands is determined by your gear score. Nevertheless, it can be said that the gold island usually pays off the most and the silver island the least. Cards and seacoins should be evaluated based on your own needs.
6. Bonus: You can also buy gold for real money
How does it work? There are several ways to turn real money into gold. First, you need to know that there are two types of real money currency in Lost Ark. The royal crystals, which you can buy directly for real money, and the crystals, a sort of intermediate currency.
You can buy regular crystals with royal crystals. These normal crystals can also be bought with gold. Hence, the crystals act as a bridge between the currencies and can earn you a lot of gold with real money.
The exchange rate between the two currencies is not fixed but varies with supply and demand.
Buy and sell items: Since some items from the cash shop are not bound to characters, you can often skip the step through the normal crystals.
To do this, you simply buy unbound items in the store. Then, you offer them for a gold price in the auction house and wait until someone wants them.

If you prefer to farm plants, you can do that too. If you then process them into healing potions in your fortress, you can also sell them for good gold.
What is worth it? Especially as a beginner, it is difficult to estimate what can actually earn gold and what is not worth it. However, as a rule of thumb, you can sell anything you would also need yourself.
The collectible items needed to complete the adventure folio can be sold very well. Some of them are currently worth over 600 gold each.
All types of raw materials that you need to farm and for which you have to spend your valuable labor points are worth selling.
Engraving instructions and engraving stones always bring you a solid yield. Finding the right engravings and stones for your character is difficult, so many players prefer to buy these rather than search for them for a long time.
Jump stones and fusion materials are an endless source of gold if you no longer need them.
All kinds of upgrade materials are an interesting way to earn a lot of gold. For many players, Gearscore is decisive, which is why some players prefer to spend gold rather than farm.
5. Procyon’s Compass as a reliable source of gold
What does it bring? Procyon’s Compass is another form of daily tasks that promise you some rewards. What you receive there depends on the respective task. You access the compass through one of the small buttons under your minimap.
There you can see when the next world boss is coming up, the next ghost ship, the next chaos portal, or today’s adventure islands. All possible tasks reward you handsomely and should be completed every day.
At the same time, not all of them appear every day. For instance, chaos portals and world bosses never occur on the same day, except for Sunday. Adventure islands, on the other hand, appear every day, on weekends two, but daily three different ones.
How does it work? If you want pure gold, you should focus on the chaos portals, which appear every two days, and the daily adventure islands.
The chaos portals appear on the days they are available every two hours with different gear scores and offer content for 30 players. You then fight your way through a dungeon for about 5 minutes.
At the end, there is always a legendary card to a secret dungeon, which is usually auctioned for several thousands of gold, and you will receive a share of that. With a bit of luck, you can also drop one of these cards yourself. Even if it’s not legendary, you will always find a card.
You should complete these usually together with other players to maximize your loot. These secret dungeons are the only place in the game where you drop unbound shards for upgrading. These can then be sold for a lot of gold.

The new MMORPG Lost Ark had issues with full servers at the beginning. This has led to many people still being unable to play with their friends on the same server. But what content can you still experience together?
What is the significance of server selection? When you start the new MMORPG for the first time, you are confronted with the choice of a region and a server. While the region you choose should be central Europe, it’s not as simple with the server.
Unofficially, Asta has been chosen by several German communities as the “German” server. However, this and many other European servers struggled with queues and were often so full that new users could not start there at all.
However, if you did not want to wait that long, you started on another server, even though your friends might still be playing on Asta. But to what extent does this affect your gameplay together?
Update: This article was originally published on February 13, 2022. We last updated it on December 16, 2022, as the content that can be played cross-server has changed. We also added a new video and new links.
These activities are cross-server content: Various things in Lost Ark can also be played cross-server, so together with friends, even though they are not playing on your world.
Raids
Dungeons
Platinum Fields
Using the Auction House
Boss Rush
PvP Arenas
Friend Lists and Friends
Private Island and Housing
Character Names
At the same time, the following contents are server-specific and can only be experienced together if you play on the same server:
Guilds
Islands and the open world
Life Skills
Soon you will also be able to dress up as Geralt and Ciri with your friends:

How can you still play together?
How to play Cross-Server: For some time now, you can simply add friends from the friends list and easily invite them to a normal group.
Then you can start your content as usual and dive into dungeons and raids together or open the party finder and also search for players across other servers.

Where does the cross-server gameplay interfere? Currently, most users are disturbed that the names are blocked for an entire region. Just before Amazon announced the changes in the naming system, this was one of the biggest points of criticism.
Nevertheless, many players still have problems finding free names. Whether Amazon will change something about the policy regarding names and also releases character names over level 11 faster is currently uncertain.
Since the open world is not shared across servers, you cannot share traveling merchants and world bosses with each other or help one another against the immense opponents.
What do you think of the server system in Lost Ark? Do you have friends on other servers and if so, how do you manage this? Do you wait for the desired server to be free again or do you start on another one despite the restrictions? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.
In Lost Ark there are many collectibles. A lot of them. There are over 1,200 Mokoko Seeds in the game that need to be found, but besides them, there are hidden stories, dishes, bosses, and more. The interactive map from Papunika helps you find them all.
What kind of map is this? Similar to New World, there is also an interactive map of the world for the new MMORPG Lost Ark online. While there are several options, we would like to present just one of them in detail.
This is the interactive Lost Ark map from the fansite Papunika.com. It can help you find all Mokoko Seeds and ensure you don’t miss any of the secret stories. You can reach it via the website papunika.com/map.
You can also find possible positions of wandering merchants, bosses, and other items you need to fill your adventure journal on this map.
The article was originally published on February 24, 2022. We updated it on December 16, 2022, with current links and made the game’s previous content updates visible in the text. Additionally, the total number of Mokokos was adjusted, and a section about the bosses was added.
Overall, the map shows the following items from the world of Lost Ark:
All islands, ghost ships, navigation missions, and trade ships
All Mokoko Seeds
Collectible food items
Special monsters and bosses
Hidden stories
Wandering merchants
The adventure journal of the continents
Secret passages
Maps of dungeons and tips for them
Items that start quests
All NPCs with whom you can improve your relationship and how to do it
All useful NPCs
However, the map looks quite overloaded at first glance and can quickly feel overwhelming. Unfortunately, it also has not been translated into German and is therefore only available in English. However, this does not make it less helpful for many things.

The 5 Reasons for the Incredible Success of Lost Ark
How do you set it up correctly? At the start, the map simply displays everything. This can quickly feel overwhelming, especially since you don’t need so much information right at the beginning of the game.
On the right side of the browser window, you will find a list of everything that exists in the currently selected instance. You can easily click on the things you don’t want to see at the moment.
At the beginning of Lost Ark, we recommend hiding all islands first. This immediately makes the map more inviting and less cluttered. You won’t need the islands until you reach level 30 or higher anyway.
Without the islands, the map doesn’t look so overloaded
If you are looking for a specific area, you can also directly access it by searching in the top left. However, keep in mind that you need to search by the English name and that you can only search for areas, not directly for NPCs.
Find Mokoko Seeds and collectibles more easily
How do you find the seeds? The map from Papunika has marked all Mokoko Seeds that you can find in Arkesia. You just need to display them on the map of the area you are currently in.
If you need more precise help on how to obtain one of the rare seeds, you can simply click on it and usually receive assistance. For example, if you click on the seed behind the Barrier of Mount Zagoras, it will say that you must first destroy the barrier.
The map also points out certain challenges at the beginning of an instance. In the dungeon of the Blackrose Chapel, for example, the room to the Mokokos opens only if you have not killed any civilians during your run.
To ensure you don’t notice this too late, such hints are always marked with a star on the map, which you need to click on.
The star above tells us that we should click on the locations to collect all seeds. Clicking on the symbol gives us more information
The map is also absolutely helpful for cooking items. You should always click on the items you need to collect since you often need to process them further. The map provides valuable hints, such as stating that a certain item needs to be kept in the inventory for 10 minutes before it can be used.
Clicking on the ingredient reveals what we need to do with it
Finding bosses made easy
What else is useful? The map also shows all locations of possible bosses that you might still be missing in your adventure journal. Conveniently, you can see at a glance the rhythm in which the fixed bosses spawn or under which conditions you can summon them.
Even the mini-bosses needed for the adventure journal are displayed on the map and can easily be found by you. The bosses therefore help you just as much as the Mokoko Seeds in the game. However, the map offers even more benefits when you are actively exploring Arkesia.
Apart from Papunika, the guides on the site maxroll.gg are also recommended. Especially with the increasing gear score and in the areas of Yorn and South Vern, these are often more detailed than the map on Papunika, a combination of both will ensure you the easiest way to all collectibles.
Learn more about the story of Lost Ark
What does the story have to do with the map? The map of Lost Ark also helps you find the important collectibles for the adventure journal. Besides the bosses and cooking ingredients you need, the exciting hidden stories also count.
These are small collectible items you can find in the world. When you interact with them, you can read a short text and learn more about the world of Lost Ark. These hidden stories vary in length and are displayed in green on the Papunika map.
The map also directly shows you how many pieces such a hidden story has in total. If you only see the name of the story in green, you merely need to interact with it and you’ve completed the story.
If there is a number behind the name, such as 1 / 4, it means that you need to find a total of four of these stories to complete it.
When we click on the story, we see the locations of all the missing parts
How do you find them with the map? If you find such a split story but don’t know where the other parts are hidden, the map will help you out. Simply click on the green exclamation mark of the hidden story and the locations of the other corresponding parts will be displayed.
I often look at the Papunika map more than in the game
Who is speaking here? Mark Sellner has spent over 1,500 hours in Lost Ark since release. The website Papunika has been a great help to him.
The map can do a lot, but is that good? The map from Papunika can do a lot and offers numerous options to find exactly what I truly want. But with that come risks for me as a player.
I constantly use the map on my second monitor and check it more often than the in-game map. I rarely have to actively search for Mokoko Seeds, as I always know thanks to the map where they are and how to reach them.
However, this also has the major disadvantage that the real exploration of the world is lost. Without the map, I probably would never have found numerous hidden accesses; instead, I would have examined other parts of the game more closely.
Or generally visited places where there is no collectible at all. Because in the rush of completion, it has frequently happened to me that I completely ignored parts of the world because I knew thanks to Papunika that there was nothing there anyway. And that is quite a shame.
Therefore, I recommend a good balance in dealing with the map and perhaps using it only when you truly can’t progress anymore. But if you just want to have everything and get through the maps as quickly as possible, the map could become your best friend.
Are there alternatives? Yes, the Lost Ark Database website also offers an interactive map. It even shows you a bit more than the Papunika map, such as locations of hidden treasures and opportunities where you can play different songs.
However, we personally find the Papunika map more pleasant to use as it is more user-friendly and offers more customization options.
How do you find such interactive maps, and will you use them often or not? Do you prefer to explore the world of Lost Ark on your own without assistance, or is there simply too much to discover? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.
In Lost Ark the queues were extremely long at first. Anyone logging in after 6 PM could not get online on some servers before midnight. But how long can you actually stand AFK before you get kicked out?
How long is the AFK timer? Initially, to prevent queues, there was an AFK timer in Lost Ark that would kick you out of the game after 30 minutes of standing around. However, as the MMORPG currently has no more issues with queues, they have gradually gotten rid of this feature over time.
So, you currently don’t have to worry about getting kicked from Lost Ark. You can stand around as long as you want and you will still be in the game afterwards and can continue playing directly. Whether the timer will return is also questionable.
Update: This article was originally published at launch on February 12. We last updated it on December 16, 2022, as the AFK mechanics changed. We have also added new links and a video.
Soon, you will be able to stand around as Geralt, Ciri, and Co. in the world of Arkesia:

Settings are only for the in-game view
Can I change my AFK timer? No. In the game, there is an option where you can change the AFK settings, but it concerns a marking in the game itself. You can decide whether it shows in the game after 15, 30, or 60 minutes that you are AFK.
Actually, Lost Ark shouldn’t have any AFK kick at all, at least this isn’t the case in Korea. That’s why they also have the option to adjust the time to 60 minutes. This initially led to confusion as players were kicked after 30 minutes at release.
The AFK timer in-game.
How long were the queues? That fundamentally depends on the server. Anyone visiting the German servers Beatrice and Asta will have several thousand people in front of them. On Asta, the first queues were even present on Saturday morning. We covered the situation in our live ticker.
Even on the new and smallest servers, there were at least 10,000 players waiting for a spot during prime time.
Currently, however, there are almost no queues left in Lost Ark.
What is the reason for that? Lost Ark is currently the most successful MMORPG on Steam and has even broken some records. Only PUBG had more concurrent players on the platform than Lost Ark. More about that here:
Leon is active as “Seltix” on YouTube and Twitch. Like many other influencers, he has now launched his own product. To stand out from the crowd, he came up with something special: cornflakes with trading cards from other content creators – but he didn’t ask one for permission.
What kind of product is this? As Seltix explains in a video sponsored by e-commerce site Shopify, he received an offer to develop a joint product with the spice manufacturer mykraut. Initially, an iced tea was supposed to be discussed, but Seltix had concerns.
Several other influencers already have their own iced tea, he wanted something more individual. So he ultimately decided to bring out his own cornflakes. The “Seltiz” are said to be inspired by the American breakfast cereal Lucky Charms.
In Seltix’s version, the breakfast flakes were replaced with cornflakes that are supposed to resemble the colorful Froot Loops from Kellogs. The Froot Loops would go perfectly with the marshmallows that give the Lucky Charms their name.
Start video
Twitch: Who were actually the first successful streamers?
Seltix advertises with influencer trading cards
How did Seltix promote the product? The self-proclaimed goal of the content creator is to offer his cornflakes not only online but also to place his product in supermarkets like Edeka and Rewe. For that, the cereals must first sell – so Seltix came up with a special strategy.
The design of the Seltiz is kept in a retro comic style. Accordingly, there were also supposed to be action figures as collectible inserts in every package. They were probably too expensive in the end, which is why Seltix instead included trading cards.
What kind of trading cards were those? The trading cards were supposed to feature well-known YouTubers and Twitch streamers, but reinterpreted as superheroes in the classic comic style. Included are Seltix himself, Unge, CanBroke, Rewinside, and Trymacs.
These trading cards were included with Seltix’s cornflakes
According to Seltix, at least the influencers he selected agreed to the use of their name and appearance – except for one. He couldn’t reach Trymacs, Seltix says. He joked: “If you see this, please don’t sue me.”
The strategy paid off: within just 5 hours, the Seltiz sold out.
Trymacs’s fans seemed to spam the streamer so much that on December 8th, he released a reaction to Seltix’s video.
Trymacs will probably not be a fan
How did Trymacs react? When Trymacs discovered his trading card, he quickly realized why his viewers wanted a reaction from him. In fact, the streamer did not seem particularly enthusiastic: it is already very difficult, says Trymacs. Companies would repeatedly use him without permission for advertising purposes.
Trymacs appreciates that Seltix apparently has no profit intention with his product, the YouTuber wants to sell the cornflakes at cost price, but his partner mykraut is supposed to receive a share.
However, this should not be a free ticket for other companies to use him for advertising purposes. He has had many problems with this, says Trymacs. Companies have even used clips of him without permission to promote a product.

What does Trymacs think of the product now? Trymacs announced that he will follow Seltix’s project and is curious whether the YouTuber will actually manage to get into stores. That would be “really hardcore.”
However, Trymacs can’t really deal with the cornflakes: he doesn’t like Froot Loops at all, hates marshmallows, and is also lactose intolerant. The Seltiz probably won’t end up on Trymacs’s breakfast table. Nevertheless, it’s nice that he receives a package as the depicted influencer.
