    "This is totally not a Crest of Retribution," Throgg explained, hefting the new shield above his head. "That was a fine shield, a mainstay of the paladin and warrior orders. Those brave men would slap a shield spike on the Crest and use it to farm dozens of enemies at once." The classroom of young tanks sighed appreciatively. Lolegolas smiled in pride, basking in the idea of Throgg as a teacher. "No, this is not that crest," Throgg continued. "This is the Shield of Four Grey Towers. You can purchase it from a vendor after proving your worth in dungeons. It is one of the finest shields, short of Elementium Earthguard. And considering the truly insane prices those run, it's a good option." "It's shiny, too," Lolegolas said. "It's quite the butch-looking shield."

    "A bullwhip? Really, Throgg? Really?" Lolegolas asked. The blood elf casually stroked the windrider asleep in his lap. "I mean, really? The fedora isn't bad, but the whip ..." "No, little elf," the orc responded. "I have taken up a new profession. I am an archaeologist." "Well, in the least you can pronounce it," Lolegolas answered. "What inspired you to take up such a thing? I hadn't really considered you a history buff. Just ... kind of buff." Throgg shook his head vigorously and pulled his massive sword from his scabbard. "Behold: Zin'rokh, Destroyer of Worlds." Lolegolas cocked his head to the side, narrowing his eyes at the weapon. "I could have sworn I've seen that in ..." "Let it go, Lolegolas. Just let it go."

    "It is not a sword," Throgg insisted. "Not a sword. It's is a svord. Like, the svame vay you are svelte." "Throgg, please," Lolegolas insisted. "That makes no sense. It's a sword. That draenei has an accent, that's all." "No!" the orc countered. "It is for the choppink of things. You use the svord for choppink and attackink." Lolegolas sighed and flopped back down on his cushion. "Fine. Glovaal's Choppink Svord is not a sword. It is an entirely different critter. A whole new kind of weapon." "Thank you svery much," Throgg replied. "Just," Lolegolas asked, "could you please stop mimicking the accent?" "Svy?" Throgg replied.

    Throgg coughed delicately before he spoke. "I do not think that I shall ever see, anything quite as lovely as a tree." Lolegolas stopped and cocked his head as he looked to his orc friend. "Say what, now?" "To be or not to be," Throgg replied, poking a meaty appendage at the blood elf. "To rhyme or not is the task for me!" "OK," Lolegolas grumped. "I see we've finally taken one too many dragon cleaves to the old noggin." "Nay, nay, I doth say," Throgg countered, "you must gaze upon my fork -- for I wear the Breastplate of the Poetic Orc!" "Damn you, Frostilicus," Lolegolas cursed. "I don't know what rhymes with that," the orc mournfully answered.

    "I can't believe I lost," Lolegolas said. He dropped onto the sofa with a palpable growl. "I thought for sure I had it locked up. I mean, do you see this hair? This bone structure? I've been doing DPS90X for a year now!" Throgg could only dully nod. "I thought for sure Exarch Rossi would judge you the finest model in Azeroth." "I know, right?" Lolegolas pulled back a sleeve to show his magnificent, flexing bicep. "I mean, what does a stupid old axe have over me?" "Well," Throgg carefully ventured. "Its proc is pretty sweet." "I'm sweet!" Lolegolas exclaimed balefully. "Sweet like ice wine! Sweet like the first kiss of autumn, that's me!" "I know. And, well, the Drake Talon Cleaver is kind of a limited time thing," Throgg said. "With the world ending and all, maybe the Exarch wanted to acknowledge something old." Lolegolas tried not to pout. "I guess." "Yes," Throgg agreed. "According to Exarch Rossi, the Drake Talon Cleaver is the best model in Azeroth."

    "You know what really burns my butt, Throgg?" Lolegolas said, massaging his backside as if he were in pain. Throgg tilted his head to the side. His mouth hung open and his tongue dangled loosely. He looked like nothing so much as a happy labrador retriever. "What, little elf?" "Waist-high fire gods," Lolegolas answered as he danced to the side. A small fire elemental stood where the blood elf had been, shaking a miniature hammer in the air. It would have been threatening if the tiny deity were larger than a trash can. "What is this thing?" "It's Lil' Ragnaros!" Throgg exclaimed. "He's cute." Lolegolas got down on one knee and poked toward the flaming creature with an arrow shaft. "It is kind of adorable." Lolegolas giggled. "Who's a cute little fire demon? Who's a cute little fire demon?" "Lolegolas, don't taunt the fire demon." "Why, can it hurt me?" the blood elf asked. "No. That's just tacky," Throgg answered. Lil' Ragnaros What it is: A non-combat pet for sale through the Blizzard pet store. How do you get it: Lil' Ragnaros will be on sale in the Blizzard pet store.

    "I never figured you for the type to pay Alimony," Lolegolas sighed. He propped his jaw up on his fist as he wistfully watched his orc friend. "I'm kind of hurt you never told me." "Not like that," Throgg countered. The orc waved a meaty hand in denial. "It's from pirate named Tony Two-Tusk. He's a troll." "I was going to go out on a limb and guess that," the fair-haired blood elf replied. "So you're paying alimony to a troll?" "No!" Throgg exclaimed. He lifted the sword proudly. Lolegolas had to admit it looked like a painful weapon. "Alimony for Tony's wife. Very complicated, involves ghosts and such. Make Throgg glad he's a bachelor for life." "That explains the pizza boxes and Twilight obsession, I suppose," Lolegolas grinned. "And you've enjoyed the weapon so far?" "It pretty good for keeping aggro," Throgg admitted. Alimony One-Handed Sword Damage: 43 - 82 Speed: 2.60 DPS: 24.1 damage per second 4 Strength 5 Stamina Flavor text: "Ouch. Good for generating aggro."

    "Whoah, Throgg," Lolegolas gasped, clasping his hands together. He tried not to blush when he realized he was bouncing idly like a night elf woman. "That is one heck of a ride!" Throgg climbed out of the car, twirling the Hot Keys to the Hot Rod in his hand. "It's OK, I guess," Throgg replied nonchalantly. "I mean, it goes fast and makes a pleasing 'vroom' sound. And, better, has good radio stations." "Throgg, I have to say," the blood elf sighed. "I'm just awfully impressed. It's a very dashing vehicle, especially for someone of your limited means." "Oh, I can be plenty mean," the orc replied. "But the car only works in that place that is blowed up now. Can't drive it now, really." The blood elf sighed, sitting down next to the vehicle. "That's a shame. I really love this hot rod." "We can hope it will reappear one day," Throgg replied clamping his friend's shoulder. "That's what patches are for." Keys to the Hot Rod Zone Restriction: Kezan Quest Item Use: Get in your hot rod! (5-sec. cooldown) How to get it: Despite Throgg's using his elite skills to pick up his own key to a hot rod, you must be a goblin in the starting area to get your own. How to get rid of it: Blow up your island, preferably with the help of an angry dragon. Don't worry -- this will disappear on its own. %Gallery-96786% Phat Loot Phriday brings you the scoop on some of the most ... interesting ... loot in the World of Warcraft, often viewed through the eyes of the stalwart Throgg and indelible Lolegolas.

    "Throgg, what are you doing?" Lolegolas asked as he approached his old friend. The orc was leaning into a mirror above the Filthy Animal, staring into his own eyes. "I am also a fervent supporter of self-love. I mean, look at me! But you're getting a little more into it than I would ... Oh my God, what is wrong with your eye?!" Throgg turned to look at the blood elf and smiled. He opened his eyes wide so that he could show off the deep blue ink in his eyeballs. They were both in the shape of a warlock succubus. "You like?" "No!" The blood elf slapped his own palm over his face. "It hurts just to look at it!" "A friend of mine told me about it," Throgg explained. He turned back to the mirror to check out the bikini-clad beauties adorning his ocular cavities. "Tattooed Eyeball new from glyph-makers. It makes you very resilient and very smart to have them. And even better." Throgg tapped one eye. "Her navel is eye-jazzled and can take gem!" Throgg turned around and blinked. The blood elf had passed out on the ground.

    "I have a problem," Throgg grumped, resting his face between two balled fists. His massive eyebrows were clearly drooped in absolute sorrow, and the proud orc's entire frame displayed his immense depression. Lolegolas immediately flopped onto the stairs next to his good friend. "My goodness, Throgg," the blood elf said. "Whatever is the matter?" "I'm not attracted to chimeras," Throgg sobbed. The elf's hand jerked back before Lolegolas could control himself. "I'm ... not sure I understand." "I'm a tank," Throgg said. "Yes," Lolegolas said. "I could tell by your predilection for getting hit by big, ugly monsters." "I'd like a gem with lots of parry, but the best option is ... well, it's the Flashing Chimera's Eye." "Mmm-hmmm," Lolegolas encouraged, tossing a long, golden cascade of hair over his shoulder. "Well, I don't want to get flashed by a chimera. They are not very good-looking, and that just doesn't seem proper to me. And if I'm getting flashed, I will certainly not want to touch the thing's eye." "Oh my go ... seriously? I mean, come on, Throgg, seriously? You're a jewelcrafter, man."

    "You know, Throgg," Lolegolas said. "I have to admit that you've vastly improved. I understand it's very difficult for plate-wearing people to avoid fire, given the magnetic qualities possessed by Azerothian flame. But in the last few weeks, you've done a remarkable job not jumping into local bonfires." "It is this," Throgg said, holding up a book labelled WoW Insider. "This is a Strategy Guide. It tells you important stuff like, 'Do not stand in fire,' and, 'There is cool video called BLIND.' It's also got some of the best hair care tips in Azeroth." "I'm not sure that really qualifies as loot, Throgg," Lolegolas said as he drew a nail buffer across his fingernails. "And certainly not any kind of awesome loot." "Little elf," Throgg said, "you're the one who brought it up. I'm more surprised you're not all, 'Oh my god, you can read?' Where did you learn commenting skills?" "I learned it by watching you!"

"Because you can eat off it?" "No, man," Lolegolas responded, pushing his aviator glasses further down his nose. "It's Tectonic Plate. Because, like, this giant earth dragon's got get its 'rawr smash' on. And when that happens, it's gonna drop earth stuff. And, like, so it's not just a plate.

    "Throgg, you better sit down," Lolegolas said quietly. The blood elf was draped in voluminous velour robes tied with a thick silk belt. "I have something for you." The orc looked up at his well-coiffed friend and took a seat on a bench. "What is that?" "Your father's sabre," the blood elf solemnly. "Your father wanted you to have it, but your mother wouldn't allow it. Something about poking your eye out and following old Lolegolas off to The Burning Crusade." The orc took the sword in his hand. It was light. It was very light. It was definitely a Very Light Sabre. "It's a very light sabre," Lolegolas confirmed. "It is much like the weapon of an argent knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a fireball; an elegant weapon for a more civilized expansion. For over a thousand runs, the argent knights have been seeking the baron's mount."

"Throgg, carry him along. Captain Taylor gained us this day." The orc hefted the captain's favorite weapon. Captain Taylor's Chopper was a simple board from the deck of his ship with a deck nail driven through it. "We'll carry him to his burying ground where it's stormy. And I will lower him to his rest with my own two hands." The pair reached the shallow grave and bent at the waist to lower the coffin with due solemnity. "Captain Taylor, he's gone where the stormy winds won't blow. Lower him down, Throgg." As the two finished the burial, Throgg hefted the axe in a fist like a ham. "On every inch, I will carve his name. And we will reckon him, reckon it along." The blonde elf threw an arm around his big friend as the two slowly walked away.

    "I just don't get it," Throgg said. "I mean, it's kind of sick. It's just not very charitable, you know? And, it's completely savage, man. Totally Lord of the Flies." "I know," Lolegolas replied. "I know, man. I just don't know what to say. What makes you do something like that? What makes a chap think that's OK?" "I mean, I killed the werewolf -- I get that," Throgg said. "Hit him with a giant milkbone. He had no chance against the Lassie defense. And when I looted his still-fresh body for coin, beer and hair products, I thought nothing could go wrong. But this? This is just sick." Throgg ran his fingers over the thick Wolf Fur Coat he'd plucked from the dead worgen. "I mean, I know we get a bad rap for Garrosh and the blood elves. Er, no offense." "No, none taken," Lolegolas said, holding up a hand. "Probably a bit far with the babies-on-pikes thing." "Yeah, maybe." Throgg blew his nose into the wolf pelt. "But they wear their own kind as clothing. I mean, that's hardcore, man. That's like some kind of mental problem or something. Even Garrosh is like, 'Ew, dog.'" "And for a measly 6 armor," Lolegolas added. "Those worgen are just some sick puppies." %Gallery-96786%

    Lolegolas sighed and gulped the last dregs of his wine cooler with great haste. At his well-manicured feet, three humans lay unconscious. While the skilled and graceful blood elf had managed to avoid slaughtering the three, the Alliance members clearly showed the signs of a solid beating. As Lolegolas collected his things to leave, a strange object slammed into the humans. It looked like it could be a wooden cutout of the letter "V," but a dozen whirling gears were firing at random and spinning like crazy. Small arms and gadgets rifled through the humans' pockets before, finally, the object took off back to the air. It landed with a thud in a thick, black leather glove. "Oh, god," Lolegolas sighed. "Of course it's you." "Halt, evil-doer! Miscreant!" the newcomer exclaimed. "Thug! Rogue!" "Of course. All of Dalaran, and this is exactly where you are," Lolegolas said. "Throgg, what are you doing?" "I am not Throgg!" the large orc bellowed. He was wearing head-to-toe black leather and a vast sweeping cape. "I am Bat-Throgg!" "And what was that thing?" Lolegolas said. He gestured for the passing brewmaiden to bring him another wine cooler. "It took all the loot from the humans."

    (SPOILER NOTE FROM THROGG -- THIS ARTICLE MIGHT HAVE HABERDASHERY BASED SPOILERS ABOUT CATACLYSM.) "Oh," Lolegolas said, tossing a cascade of blonde ribbons over his shoulder like a wheat fountain. "Throgg, I must say. I must take it all back. That haberdasher you've seen has performed a miracle for you." Throgg blinked. "Not Christmas, little belfling. I do not have her Dasher." Lolegolas held perfectly still, blinking at the orc with confused eyes. "Have her Dash ... oh! Oh, no! I meant haberdasher. The hatter you must have visited. For the hat you are wearing is quite marvelous!" "You really like it? It is Lord Walden's Top Hat. It does nothing for me," Throgg said in slow, careful words. He nudged the front of the hat up slightly, letting his unibrow shine in the sunlight. "I must disagree, fair Throgg," Lolegolas said, waving away the comment with his perfectly manicured fingers. "It does wonders for the shape of your skull. It's gone from being quite block-shaped to something more like a rectangle. Your entire face is far more geometrically sound now." "No," Throgg said. "I mean, it has no stats on it. It does nothing. But it sure looks nice." "Well, then, Throgg," Lolegolas said. "Why are you wearing it?" The orc smiled as he slid a monocle onto his nose. "Take up banking." Name Lord Walden's Top Hat Damage Immense to the hearts and romances of those around you How to get it It's a quest item in Cataclysm.

    "Wow," Lolegolas said. "Another sword, huh?" Throgg looked up from where he'd been busily grooming his monobrow with his tongue. "What you mean, little belfling?" "You have a different sword again," Lolegolas said. He tossed his flowing locks over his shoulder, revealing the glittering perfection of his chest. "You just had Kliklak's and now ... this." "Ah, yes," Throgg grunted. "It is sword with Mastery on it, as stat. Since it no longer part of talents, I thought it must be very important to have on sword. The Poisonfire Greatsword has much Mastery! Make Throgg strong!" "Hm, of course," Lolegolas said. "I will say that this sword seems rather magnificent. It appeals to my more savage aesthetic. It's all rough and course and manly." "Right," Throgg said. "I got it for infiltrating a camp in the beta. Throgg is very clever, and was given the Poisonfire Greatsword as a reward." "Do you remember anything about the lore of the quest?" Lolegolas asked. The roleplayer in him was coming out, and the blood elf was getting very excited. Throgg's unibrow furrowed in confusion. "Lore? What? " "You know," the blonde replied. "The lore. The story." "Story is," Throgg answered with finality, "I got this awesome sword."

    "Little elf," Throgg asked. "What do you think of these?" Throgg held his massive forearms aloft, showing them off to his diminuitive companion. "Wow," Lolegolas said. His face lit up in an eager smile. "Those are awesome. What are they?" "They are," Throgg said with a steady cadence, "The Best. Bracers. Ever." "I can believe it!" Lolegolas replied. He shuffled his shoulder so that a flowing cascade of hair rippled over his shoulder like homespun gold. "What are they called?" "The Best. Bracers. Ever." "But ... the name, Throgg." Lolegolas's face grew a little dark as he frowned. "I need the name. Otherwise, I'll never be able to look them up on a reputable website like WoW.com, and find out how to get them for my-elf." "They are the Best. Bracers. Ever. Me not know how to tell you no more than that! Best. Bracers. Ever. come from Cataclysm!" "You make my head hurt, you know that, right?" Lolegolas asked.
