Firstly, full loot codes successfully purchased with "Instant Buy" are found in the "Invoice History" within your checkout page. In future we will email this helpful detail.
Those who have visited our chatbox within the last couple of days would have read that we have added all the new TCG loot from the Wrathgate and Icecrown WoW TCG expansions.
- [Landro's Gift Box] which likely contains [Tabard Lost & Found],
- [Instant Statue Pedestal],
- [Blazing Hippogryph].
Above are the Wrathgate expansion loots, due when Blizzard finally make their announcement as to the new direction the WoW TCG will take. Of particular interest is the [Tabard Lost & Found] which suggests that Blizzard has known for quite a while that UDE at some point will no longer be providing the UDE point code loots.
This image contains the first serious clues as to what the next two expansion loots will be. Wrathgate, the next expansion will contain: Landro's Gift Box, Instant Statue, and Blazing Hippogryph. Icecrown expansion about three months later: Paint Bomb, Portal Stone, and Rhino Mount. Feel free to make comments and guesses in our chatbox about these new loot items.
Blizzard will hopefully make an announcement soon on how they plan to continue their successfull TCG franchise, with all indications that there will be a increasing integration with the MMO.
We often receive enquiries on how accurate our rarity figures are because UDE have never detailed the distribution of loot in booster packs / boxes / cases. Real world experience on opening cases gives us an accurate picture on what makes them so special and desirable.
Firstly definitions and sizes. A loot card, when found, replaces the hero card inside a booster pack. There are 24 booster packs within an expansion box, and there are 12 expansion boxes to a case.
Assuming no tampering of factory sealed cases, TCG expansions Heroes of Azeroth, Through the Dark Portal, Fires of Outland, and March of the Legion:
- Common loots are found 2 per case, or 1 in 6 boxes,
- Uncommon loots are found 1 per case, or 1 in 12 boxes,
- Rare loots are found 1 in every other case, or 1 in 24 boxes.
For every TCG expansion since then:
- Super commons, 20-21 per case, at least 1 per box,
- Uncommons, 2 per case, or 1 in 6 boxes, some rare cases have 1, where other rare cases have 3,
- Rares, 1 per case, or 1 in 12 boxes, some rare cases have none, while other rare cases have 2.
The Holiday Season and New Years day have passed since our last update, but it doesn't mean we haven't been busy. During that time we've been working hard on delivering a unique "Instant Buy" option for loot codes. We have partnered with the well respected and high volume eBay merchants "chrisandron2005" and "shine1br" to create a checkout system that allows you to have your loot codes immediently after a successfull transaction at PayPal. To date, we already have had hundreds of happy users playing with their shiny new loots. Clicking "Instant Buy" items allows one to take advantage of this speedy service.
Coming in late April is the next expansion "Wrathgate", primarily focusing on the epic "Battle of Wrathgate" in Dragonblight. Within this next expansion it has been confirmed that there will be a new mount loot.
Each redeemed box contains one TCG consumable loots x50, either :- And, very lucky boxes also contain one of either :-
Patch 3.3 hit the live servers this morning, and we finally got to learn about the new mysterious [Landro's Pet Box]. I don't know of anyone correctly guessing what this new loot turned out to be.
All players and particularly pet collectors missing pets or items from the loot tables above should find this new UDE points item particularly desirable.
Two days ago on the 24th of November, the newest WoW TCG expansion Scourgewar was released to the public by UDE. Since then, the 2 new pet and mount loots have been found and happily for in-game collectors can now be purchased online. Past experience tells us that the best time to find lowest prices is from now until two weeks after the official release date, so keep an eye out for bargains as the dealers try to complete with each other in selling off their stock.
Also, one day later on the 25th, our random draw competition closed and winners were notified by email. Please visit our competition page to see if you are among our winners. Thank you to everyone who entered, we already have plans to do more giveaways soon.
It is very likely that this screenshot is of the new UDE points loot item "Landro's Pet Box", although we won't know for sure until UDE makes an announcement or it becomes available on the points store.
Everybody wants to win some WoW loot and we have some terrific loot to giveaway in our new competition :-
To enter, proceed to our competition page, answer two very simple questions correctly, and you will have a chance to win any of the above loots. Our friends over at WoW.com have even more of our loot to giveaway, so be sure find their article on our giveaway, it should be published within 24hrs.
- [X-51 Nether-Rocket X-TREME] (1st Prize)
- [Foam Sword Rack] (2nd Prize)
- [Imp in a Ball] (3rd Prize)
- [Path of Cenarius] (20x Random Draw)
Good luck!
We are proud to be the first to reveal more information on the promised UDE points loot announced early last month. This screenshot reveals the new loot item to be "Landro's Pet Box". This item should be available when patch 3.3 goes live and everything apart from its name is speculation, but best guesses on what this loot will do :-
- A one-use item that allows you to convert critters into pets.
- A bag type item to store your BoA pets.
- A trinket that allows you to summon more than one non-combat pet.
- A billy-cart like item that pets can ride in.
Once again another UDE points tabard has sold out. This time the [Tabard of the Brilliance] is unavailable for an unknown amount of time. UDE have previously stated that they plan to keep all UDE point items in stock so we expect the tabard to become available again soon.
There is now only two weeks left until the next TCG expansion "Scourgewar" is offically released. Pre-release tournaments will be held just before this date, so it will soon be possible to obtain the loot cards from this expansion.
Today we have received confirmation that the promised refill of [Tabard of the Void] has been completed which will drive the price for this tabard back down to normals levels. UDE have also revealed they are planning a new MMO in-game item that "isn't a tabard" hopefully by the end of the year. No word on how many UDE points this new item will cost, but we are paying close attention to both the UDE forums and PTR 3.3 test realm. As soon as we find out more we'll pass on any information.
There is about one month left until the next TCG expansion "Scourgewar" is to be released. We are still only allowing top end dealers to offer these items for pre-release and this will continue until the 21st of November when public previews of this expansion will take place.
For collectors it is a real treat as there are two pets and two mounts that are obtainable. For each loot we have an in-game video and screenshots for you to browse.
UDE have revealed all the loot card details for the next WoW TCG expansion, Scourgewar, and therefore we have dug quite a bit further and revealed almost all information to be had on the 4(!) new in-game loot that can be obtained.
Landro Longshot down in Booty Bay has revealed the next TCG expansion loot. This expansion, called Scourgewar, is due for release in November 2009 and will contain loot items in order of rarity, Mini-Mount, Tuskarr Kite, and Spectral Tiger Cub. It has been a while since the TCG has included Pet loot, so having two in one expansion is making up for missed expansions.
BlizzCon 2009 is now over, but many of those that received the [Heavy Murloc Egg] promotion card are now putting them up for sale keeping the prices low, we expect this to last another week and then prices will go up slowly as always.
Does this image contain samples of the next WoW TCG expansion (Scourgewar, due November 2009) loot? Or does it depict one of the new UDE store items announced by Upperdeck? We'll update here as we learn more.
BlizzCon 2009 has begun, and the new [Heavy Murloc Egg] is being encountered on live realms. Those not attending BlizzCon 2009 can still obtain this pet with a DIRECTV BlizzCon streaming purchase. Head over to the BlizzCon 2009 Live Stream website to get more information. In the next few days this Murloc pet will have an abundance of sellers which should drive prices to bargain levels. Please note, at this stage this BlizzCon pet currently is not BoA unlike all previous BlizzCon Murloc promotion pets.
Patch 3.2 has heralded a significant change to the way mount loot is handled in-game. From now on, all mount loots that require a Riding Skill to use will be redeemed to in-game characters as BoU (Bind on Use) items, and, similar to recipes they will disappear when learnt. This allows mount loot to be sold and traded just like any other commodity in WoW.
This doesn't change the rarity or desirability of these mounts in anyway, mount loot cards remain as rare as they have ever been. This change means that if a seller is willing to part with one of these mounts in-game, the buyer can view the mount item either in a trade window or in the Auction House. There is no longer any need to trust the seller will supply a valid code as the buyer can now see the item in-game for oneself, this will drastically decrease GM intervention from bad trades.
Still no word on whether all loot items will get this treatment.
Tradeable mounts are :-
- [Magic Rooster Egg]
- [Big Battle Bear]
- [X-51 Nether Rocket XTREME] (and non-epic blue skin)
- [Reigns of the Swift Spectral Tiger] (and non-epic)
There is much discussion about the possibility of unlimited mount loot being generated in the upcoming patch 3.2. Our opinion on the final outcome is that loot codes will remain a one time only redeem, and that TCG mounts will no longer have a non-epic version if available. Currently, Landro Longshot the TCG loot NPC in Booty Bay allows purchasing of mounts after you redeem said mount code. We predict that this will no longer occur and the epic version of the spell will be placed in character inventory instead (hence the removal of non-epic version of mounts). We also think that mounts will no longer be Bind on Pickup, but will be similar to spell manuals in-game. That is, will be tradeable but disappear after use. All other non-mount loot redemption will probably remain the same.
It has been three weeks since the official launch of Fields of Honor, and it appears that its loot prices have remained steady, with some expected drops in the [Ogre Pinata] and [Path of Cenarius]. [Magic Rooster Egg] has remained steady at over $300 USD.
Finally, we have removed Amazon listings from our site due to unsatisfactory shipping and search results from them.
UDE have just announced their upcoming future plans with their UDE store. Described within their announcement is news that the popular [Tabard of the Void] will be back in stock again soon. Excitingly, they also announce their plan for new in-game UDE points store loot item(s). We have no idea what these new items will be, even patch 3.2 PTR contains no clues, so expect to see new items probably after patch 3.2 is released. We'll be updating here as we discover any more information.
Those chasing the new BlizzCon 2009 Murloc pet, now confirmed to be called [Grunty's Heavy Murloc Egg], will be happy to know that it will be available to those who purchase live Internet stream of BlizzCon coverage from DIRECTV. Head over to the BlizzCon 2009 Live Stream website to get more information, to test video playback on your system, or to place an order for $39.95 USD.
A quick reminder that on the 13th and 14th of June, pre release tournaments for the new expansion "Fields of Honor" will take place giving everyone a chance at picking up the new loot, including the much anticipated [Magic Rooster Egg]. Find your nearest location via the UDE supplied schedule.
Observant visitors may have noticed that "Grunty" the BlizzCon 2009 murloc pet page has been created. Until we know for certain the final in-game name, we have dubbed him "[Grunty's Rifle]" in the same style as [Tyrael's Hilt].
Our recent giveaway was a hectic time for us, during those four days over 100 loot codes were given away, and still we have not finished. Next week, for those people who did not win during the promotion, we have a 2nd chance draw for another 25 loot codes. Lucky winners will be notified via email. Our Chatbox has gone much more quiet since then, but everyone is still welcome to come and leave their mark.
Shortly, we will be creating new pages for price tracking of the new BlizzCon 2009 "Grunty" the murloc pet, and the Mountain Dew pet robot (US only). Stay tuned for that update.
On the 13th - 14th of June, pre release tournaments for the new expansion "Fields of Honor" will take place giving everyone a chance at picking up the new loot, including the much anticipated [Magic Rooster Egg]. UDE has created a schedule for those who are interested in this pre-release celebration.
Come and join us in our new Chatbox section, it's new and a little bit different.
Patch 3.1.2 is shaping up to be an important patch for loot collectors. The loots from the next TCG expansion "Fields of Honor" (FOH) have been inserted into the patch, as well as the BlizzCon 2009 Murloc Marine "Grunty". The image on the left shows that the premium mount loot from FOH has had its name changed to "Magic Rooster Egg" from "El Pollo Grande" and cannot fly.
The robot looking pet is likely to come from a Mountain Dew cross promotion, but we will have to wait until Friday to find out more details.
Plenty of news today. Firstly, the new loots from the next expansion "Field of Honor" (FoH) have been discovered. The premium FoH loot will be a Magical Rooster Egg (rooster mount, unknown if it can fly), the mid level loot an Ogre style pinata, and lastly a flower based [Path of Illidan]. It appears Blizzard have decided to make a Mexican theme for the FoH expansion. The official release date is the 30th of June, however as always there will be pre-release celebration tournaments a fortnight before.
After programming hard over the weekend, our custom Chatbox system has replaced the forum as promised. We've already started our regular loot giveaways, so please enjoy the company of our friendly WoWTCGLoot.com community. Those who contributed on our forum prior to this change should contact and supply us their old forum username, a description of one of their posts, and a return email address before the 10th of May to be eligible for a bonus loot.
Observant visitors have begun to notice that our forum is no longer visible. The initial reason was accidental, but the more we thought about it, the more we realized that it wasn't needed. Instead, we are going to replace the forum with a custom shoutbox / chat system, think of twitter as an example. We want it to become a less formal place to visit. For those who signed up and posted prior to the forum's demise, we will compensate you with a loot code for your troubles. Details of this compensation will be available when the new chat system goes live.
Our WoW friends at WoWInsider have received a large batch of codes recently and have begun to distribute them to their visitors since patch 3.1 went live. Also, El's Extreme Anglin' will be giving away a [Fishing Chair] soon, so please visit these sites if you want to have a shot at winning. We still have heaps more new loots in our inventory, and we are always looking at fun ways to hand them out.
The Blood of Gladiators (BoG) has now been out for 2 weeks and according to our pricing history on previous expansion releases, the next few days should see some of the cheapest prices on BoG loot. This is due to initial demand being fulfilled, but suppliers having excessive stock; supply and demand in action. The premium loot, [Foam Sword Rack] can be had for less than $100 USD. NOTE: BoG loot cannot be redeemed until patch 3.1 goes live.
We currently have a [Perpetual Purple Firework] to be given away to the first person to do a little research on loot found in WoW Minis packets. We currently have one major giveaway organised (coming soon), and another being finalized. Our inventory is getting quite large and we are feeling very generous. Watch this space.
Those who attended one of the Blood of Gladiators (BoG) pre-release tournaments would have likely seen a [Sandbox Tiger] loot card discovered in a booster pack as pictured here. Even though the BoG expansion loots have been released, redeeming will not be possible until patch 3.1 goes live. From experience of Blizzards development life-cycle, we anticipate that this will be around the end of March 2009. BoG officially releases 24th of March 2009, expect to see a surge in lower price listings after this date.
In other news, we have learned that the very popular [Tabard of the Void] has been sold out from the UDE points store since late February. This is the first time that a UDE loot has been sold out and UDE representatives are uncertain whether more loot codes will be generated to handle the continued demand.
Tommi from Germany has let us know that we had the ordering of the rarity of the loots in reverse order. The Foam Sword Rack is now the rarest of the three loots.
- [Sandbox Tiger] (1/3)
- [Epic Purple Shirt] (2/3)
- [Foam Sword Rack] (3/3)
We are continually updating information on these new loots and also have opened up the Blood of Gladiators expansion area. This means that you can price-track and pre-purchase all the loot. Due to the confusion on the rarity of the three loots, loots 1 and 3 have very skewed prices, and one should expect the strange priced listings to be cancelled. We have restricted these new loots to sellers with an eBay Store and excellent feedback only until the expansion officially releases on the 24th of March.
Happily, we reveal the next three WoW TCG Loot items found in the soon to be released Blood of Gladiators (BoG) WoW TCG expansion. In this image, Landro Longshot reveals the loot description in descending rarity:
- [Sandbox Tiger] (3/3)
- [Epic Purple Shirt Flex] (2/3)
- [Foam Sword Rack] (1/3)
We were right. Our last news item did feature one of the loot items, but unexpectedly it appears to be the rarest of the loot items. When activated, the Sandbox Tiger will be a cooldown based toy item similar to the [D.I.S.C.O.] loot, the Foam Swords will allow players out-of-combat to play a game of sword fights with a declared winner! You will be able to purchase these items as early as the 7th of March, the day of the pre-release tournaments will be held celebrating the release of BoG. To participate in one of these events, find your city and store location in the page provided by Upper Deck.
Is this a spoiler for one of the three "Blood of Gladiators" (BoG) loots? The picture depicts a happy Orc playing on a spring driven rocking horse toy, except it isn't a horse but a juvenile cat, and judging by the transparency this would likely make it a spectral tiger cub. As it appears to be bolted to the ground, we think it is a Tier 2 loot. Until we find out more we shall name it "Spectral Tiger Cub Rocking Toy".
We have obtained even more loot since we last mentioned our upcoming giveaways, we now posses four of the desirable [The Flag of Ownership] loots, which now has a greatly reduced 1 minute cooldown since patch 3.0.8. When are we going to start giving them away you ask? As fast as we can, which means soon.
The [Big Battle Bear] loot continues to decline in purchase price, making it one of the cheapest mount loots one can buy. One listing in particular was for $100 USD and included extra WoW TCG loot, making it quite a bargain.
The next WoW TCG expansion is named "Blood of Gladiators" (BoG) and will release at the end of March which marks the third anniversary of the WoW TCG game. "BoG" will be based around the in-game arena system, however we do not know if the randomly inserted loot will share the arena theme. If any previously released loot was to be a candidate, then the hugely popular [The Flag of Ownership] would be it. Speaking of which, we have at least one of these to be given away soon.
For those patiently waiting on news of our loot giveaway competition, we are finally ready to announce details on how to win. In our first giveaway starting Monday 22nd December, WoW Insider will be handing out loots to random comment makers in their specific and unmissable articles. Be sure to visit them regularly as the prizes will continue to be given out daily up until and including Christmas day. And yes, you did read correctly, it is our first of a few giveaways we have planned in the upcoming weeks of which at least one will be hosted here at WoW TCG Loot.com. Good luck to all entrants!
Got any loot screenshots worthy of a gallery entry? Feel free to post it on our forum so it can be admired by everyone.
As predicted in our last news update, the Drums of War loot prices noticeably dropped around 14 days after release and continues on a slow steadly decline. Bargains for all loots since the release of WotLK have been regularly appearing, however the frequency of said bargains are now starting to slow.
For our next competition we have already obtained 50 loot codes, therefore as promised this is going to be our biggest giveaway ever. Details will be available soon on our Holiday Season themed promotion.
New site features include customized seller information tooltips for every listing, and gallery images for every loot. We are always on the lookout for quality loot screenshots or movies, please get in contact with us if you think you have one we should use.
Drums of War has been available for nearly 10 days, and all three loots ([Big Battle Bear], [The Flag of Ownership], [Party G.R.E.N.A.D.E.]) are selling very fast. Historically, cheaper prices can be found between the 2nd and 3rd week since release as the bulk TCG dealers have had time to determine the desirability of the loot and therefore price them competitively.
The [Big Blizzard Bear] continues to be a very popular mount and fortunately for buyers many BlizzCon 2005 attendees are willing to part with their code. The "Bind to account" feature of this item is a huge bonus to players as it allows them to share this mount across all characters server faction.
Finally, we are preparing for another loot giveaway, and this time it will be our biggest yet. We are hopefull of releasing more details very soon.
The [Big Blizzard Bear] has been on the market for nearly a week and has proven to be a very popular mount. There are quite a few things in its favour, namely, it can be shared with your same faction characters on redeemed server, it adjusts speed to your Riding skill, grants a "Feat of Strength", and is the first bear mount.
This week the new TCG expansion Drums of War area will commence price tracking on the three new loots. Currently there are several pre-release listings but as always we discourage any purchase for any product that does not exist. Official pre-release tournaments will be held worldwide on the 25th of October with the [Big Battle Bear], [The Flag of Ownership], [Party G.R.E.N.A.D.E.] loots being first available to participants at these events. Speaking of which, we are the world first to completely and accurately describe the game name, icon, and tooltip for the [The Flag of Ownership], even www.wowhead.com has not seen the game item yet.
Lastly we have begun to display the country of origin for loot and expansion listings. We hope this information is of use to buyers to help with possible shipping discounts.
Keen eyed visitors will have noticed we have made the BlizzCon 2008 [Big Blizzard Bear] loot active with price tracking. Early indications show that there are plenty of sellers on the market which has the pleasant effect of encouraging the prices down for this desirable mount.
The [Big Blizzard Bear] will be rideable by any player character and adjusts movement speed according to the learned Riding skill,
even characters less than level 30 without riding skill will be able to ride at walking speed! Even better, the loot item is "Bind to Account" meaning you can transfer it to your other characters on your server for use as well.We have also opened the new TCG expansion Drums of War area in preparation for the three new loots they will provide. As has already been revealed by us, the three loots will be [Party G.R.E.N.A.D.E.], [Flag of Ownership], and [Big Battle Bear]. We expect price tracking to be active just before pre-release tournaments on the 25th of October. Anyone who wishes to learn more or see the TCG played is encouraged to join in on the fun.
And lastly, we have updated our FAQ with updated information on troubleshooting, UDE points redemption, and more. We highly recommend a look for those who have not browsed through it before.
Our competition for the 12 epic tabards is over and the lucky winners have been notified via email. Thanks to all who entered. For those who missed out, on Monday the 6th we will be drawing the [Paper Flying Machine Kit], so you still have a chance to win a great loot. Due to the popularity we hope to have a similar contest again soon.
UPDATE: The lucky winner of the [Paper Flying Machine Kit] has been emailed.
The next new loot that will become available will be the BlizzCon 2008 goody bag item, and to the best of our knowledge the in-game tooltip will be very much like:
Big Blizzard Bear
Binds to account
Mount
Use: Teaches you how to summon this mount. This mount changes depending on your Riding skill. We've searched the WotLK beta and have discovered that this mount will be obtainable where the existing BlizzCon Murloc items are obtained, see [Blue Murloc Egg] or [Murloc Costume]. Currently, [Big Blizzard Bear] does not appear in the faction vendor dialogue, therefore we anticipate that this special mount will only become available when the 3.0 patch goes live and will be one of the first "Bound to account" items available.
It may be possible that this mount can be riden without any riding skill and will act similar to the [Riding Turtle].
UPDATE: Patch 3.0.2 is due on the 14th of October just after BlizzCon 2008 is scheduled to finish, so we don't have long to wait on answers.
To celebrate the pending completion of the staged release of six UDE tabards, we are giving you a chance to win one of the tabards of your choice from those shown below. In total, we have 12 tabards and one extra loot item to give away before the end of September so get your entry in early to be eligible.
UPDATE: Winners will be drawn and notified via email within 24hrs. Thank you for entering.
In other news [Tyrael's Hilt], [Blue Murloc Egg], and [Murloc Costume] will no longer be restricted to just one character. All three of these items (and we anticipate the murloc bear mount from BlizzCon 2008) will now become the new "Account Bound" type and each item can be copied to the spellbook and then mailed to your other characters. This change will suit existing owners and any future owners of these desirable items.
The beginning of September heralded two new tabards available from the UDE store:
This means that four of the six tabards have now been released and therefore the remaining two tabards releasing early next month are:
- [Tabard of Brilliance] (White)
- [Tabard of the Defender] (Orange)
Pictures of the final two will be up shortly along with their respective pages. As promised, we will have a new competition to celebrate the release of this months tabards before the end of the week.
Our very popular tabard giveaway has ended for this month and of the three different choices, the [Tabard of the Void] proved to be the most desirable as chosen by the entrants. The breakdown was as follows:
60% 28% 12% Many entries were humorous, clever, and very entertaining and we've compiled a list of our favourites in this post.
BlizzCon Bear MountWe've learned that the next expansion "Drums of War" has an official release date of 28th October '08 and along with the three loots revealed we would also like to announce that the next BlizzCon redeemable item is a bear mount with a Murloc passenger. We are not sure on the specifics of the speed but a data model has been rendered as shown to the left.We might have been quiet on this front page but we've been very busy behind the scenes making updates to WoWTCGLoot.com.
Firstly, the right sidebar has been changed to reflect categories of loot rather than their release order. Four categories exist: Mount, Pet, Tabard, and Other. This reduces the length of the sidebar and should make it easier to navigate. A new page with all the loot cards has been added and can be accessed here.
Secondly, forums! If you've ever wanted to make a suggestion, wondered how something works, had a dream loot idea, or simply wanted us to know about a suspect listing, head over to our forum section to let us know.
Thirdly, webmasters should take a look at our new affiliate system. We have created an easy-to-use banner system that will get you earning money on your World of Warcaft traffic within a few minutes.
Finally, two new loot items have been added to the UDE points store. The [Tabard of the Arcane] and the [Tabard of the Void] were released this week surprisingly with little fanfare. To celebrate the release of these tabards, we are giving away a choice of four of them to entrants in our competition. One lucky entrant will receive a [Paper Flying Machine Kit] just for entering, so get your entry in before the end of 17th August 2008 to be eligible.

Patch 2.4.3 has been released and therefore all the Hunt for Illidan WoW TCG Loot items can now be redeemed. The [Soul-Trader Beacon] is still coming down in price and often breaks the $200 USD barrier. Pet collectors get another bonus with [Tyrael's Hilt] now being redeemable as well. It has been discovered that "Mini Tyrael" reciprocates some emotes, something never before seen with Non-Combat Pets. If anyone gets to see one of these rare pets try doing a /dance with it, apparently he continues to dance until he is dismissed.
NOTICE: The http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/misc/promotion.html redemption page isn't filling the region and server pulldowns, however Blizzard are aware of the problem and getting it fixed (Official Forums). UPDATE: This problem has been fixed.
In case you missed the news, in early November 2008 the TCG expansion "Drums of War" will be released containing the following loot (in ascending order of rarity): [Party G.R.E.N.A.D.E.], [Taunt Flag], [Big Battle Bear].
This month has been very busy since the release of the Hunt for Illidan WoW TCG expansion. All three loot cards from that expansion are now steady in price, with the [Soul-Trader Beacon] constantly below $250 USD. Also, Blizzard has revealed [Tyrael's Hilt] as their WWI promotional item, which we predict to be even more desirable than similar Murloc items due to the popularity of the Diablo genre. Players are patiently waiting for patch 2.4.3 to be released before they can redeem the latest Hunt for Illidan and WWI loot.
The Servants of the Betrayer expansion has been out for three months and we have received reports from patient buyers that the X-51 Nether-Rocket XTREME can be found for less than $200 USD which is an excellent buy for a mount that will continue to see regular use in the WotLK MMO expansion.
As predicted last month, the price of Ogre Suit and Fireworks trinkets has fallen since the Two-headed Ogre Bash tournaments held late June 2008. Interested buyers should be on the lookout for the Ogre Trinket's less than $70 USD and Fireworks Trinket's less than $14 USD.
In early November 2008, the TCG expansion "Drums of War" will be released containing the following loot (in ascending order of rarity): [Party G.R.E.N.A.D.E.], [Taunt Flag], [Big Battle Bear].
Blizzard has released a new promotional pet in the form of a Diablo 2 champion Archangel Tyrael.
This extremely rare pet called Tyrael's Hilt is only obtainable through the gift pack handed to attendeees of Worldwide Invitational (WWI) 2008 held in Paris, and will be similar in value to previous BlizzCon promotional murloc items. Price tracking of this desirable has commenced, see our Tyrael's Hilt page for latest details.
In other news, Hunt for Illidan WoW TCG expansion officially released today so we should start seeing a steady drop in prices for the three new loots introduced in this set. Already the [Soul-Trader Beacon] is regularly below the $300 USD mark.
The Hunt for Illidan WoW TCG expansion officially releases on the 1st July 2008, meaning that pre-sale item listings for its three loots (Soul-Trader Beacon, D.I.S.C.O., Path of Illidan) will disappear after that date. The Hunt for Illidan expansion page is now available and price tracking has been running for loot and booster boxes for about a week.
This weekend starting the 28th of June, UDE are hosting Two-Headed Ogre Smash & Bash tournaments across the world. It is an ideal time for fans of the World of Warcraft MMO to be introduced to the TCG game as all contestants receive the Fireworks Trinket simply for showing up. Better yet, winning teams take home the Ogre Suit each. Even if you can't make the tournaments, expect a rush of sales of these items and likely a few bargains on or just after this weekend.
We are busily getting ready for the Hunt for Illidan WoW TCG expansion. Already pre-release listings are available online, but we strongly suggest to keep well away from them as the loot cards are not yet publicly available. Over the June 21st weekend, Hunt for Illidan WoW TCG expansion pre-release tournaments will be held across the world. Experience tells us there will be quite a few loots available after this date. We have verified the card names and their loot tooltips as follows :-
- Tier 1 Loot: Ethereal Plunderer card redeems for [Soul-Trader Beacon].
- Tier 2 Loot: Disco Inferno! card redeems for [D.I.S.C.O.].
- Tier 3 Loot: The Footsteps Of Illidan card redeems for [Path of Illidan].
The Hunt for Illidan WoW TCG expansion officially releases 1st July 2008. We'll have more expansion updates during the next few days.
The Servants of the Betrayer expansion has been out for over two months, and the loot prices have steadied since the initial rush. The X-51 Nether-Rocket can often be found for less than $260, the Goblin Weather Machine for less than $32 USD which makes it the cheapest tier 2 loot of any set, and Papa Hummel's Old-Fashioned Pet Biscuit is often obtainable for less then $5 USD making it the cheapest loot to buy.
Coming end of June is the "Hunt for Illidan" expansion bringing us three more new loots! The tier 3 item is rumored to be a consumable item which lets your character leave menacing glowing green footprints called the "Path Of Illidan" for a certain duration, the tier 2 item is a "Disco In A Ball" similar to a small jukebox that displays a lightshow and plays music for those around you to enjoy, and finally the tier 1 item is an "Ethereal Suit" to disguise your character in the form of a Consortium member.
New site features include Multiple listings which have multiple loots for one price, thanks to John for the suggestion. Also, we've added information and price tracking on every Warcraft TCG expansion that contains MMO loot, the "WoW TCG Expansions" area in the side menu has them all listed. Worthy of another look is the updated and indexed FAQ section.
Finally, thanks to Jas for the excellent redesign which is now nearly complete.
Servants of the Betrayer (SotB), the latest WoW TCG expansion, was officially released on the 2nd April 2008. All three loot cards, Papa Hummel's Old-Fashioned Pet Biscuit, Personal Weather Maker, X-51 Nether-Rocket have proven to be very popular with both buyers and sellers with the pet biscuit in particular having record listings often over 200 at a time. I think Upperdeck Entertainment (UDE) have found a winner with the many pet collectors in the World of Warcraft MMO.
In other news, the FAQ was updated to reflect the changes to Lando Longshot in WoW patch 2.4, the Cheapest section has been improved, and also loot distribution for all loot cards from March of the Legion (MotL) onwards has been updated. As mentioned last time, we have new features in development. Here's sneak-peak into our new expansion area opening soon:
We are getting prepared for the release of the next Warcraft TCG Expansion: "Servants of the Betrayer" (SotB). This expansion has an official release date slated for the 2nd April, however due to Upperdeck Entertainment (UDE) sactioned sneak peak tournaments on the 29th March, the 3 new loot cards will start appearing for sale after this date.
SotB features three new loot cards in order of rarity :-
Even though UDE has said SotB loot cards will be more common, already dubious pre-release listings have the desirable X51 Nether Rocket for more than $800USD. We suggest to keep well clear of these pre-sale listings at least until after the sneak-peak tournaments of the 29th March.
In other news, we're preparing for the changes occuring in the WoW patch 2.4, watch the FAQ soon after it is released. Also, we'll be revealing new statistics based on expansions and more. Stay tuned.
A general polish up of the site has been uploaded. Loot Cards, UDE Points Redemption, and Blizzard Promotions are now seperate lists in the menu. The tooltips have been visually improved thanks to wowhead.com syndication. A new page has been created called "Cheapest" which contains a sorted list of the current cheapest loots. Also we are keen to hear your experiences and suggestions (anonymous if you prefer), please visit our "Contact" page to let us know. The best experiences will make it onto our upcoming testimonials page.
Upper Deck has announced the loot cards that will be appearing in their new Servants of the Betrayer expansion pack for the TCG. As seen on their website, the new loot cards are:
- Papa Hummel's Old-Fashioned Pet Biscuit, the pet-enlarging consumable.
- A "Personalized Weather-making Machine," that will create a random weather effect over a person's head. The options we've heard so far include, sun, blue skies, thunder, rain, and snow.
- And an X-51 Nether Rocket, which is an epic flying mount. Yes, finally, you can ride around the skies of Outland Slim Pickens-style, on the top of a rocket. Unfortunately, the mount doesn't go rocket speed, it just goes regular speed. It's available in regular or epic flavors, just like the other loot card mounts.
The "redemption key invalid for the selected region" error has been fixed:

I *believe* this issue is now resolved. If you were having problems before, please try again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please let me know if you continue to have issues redeeming loot cards.

Source: Post.There is a rumor going around that loot cards have recently become region locked. In the last few days some people have been experiencing a "redemption key invalid for the selected region" error when entering their 25-digit code. According to UDE this is an unintentional bug and will be looked into as soon as their staff (and Blizzards) return from their Christmas break. For more information view two official posts in the UDE forums: Post 1, Post 2. We are monitoring the situation very closely and will update as news comes through.
The "Contact" page is now working. Individual loot information has been greatly expanded. If any loot has an applicable movie, it has been added to their information page.
Historical pricing has now been added with the inclusion of graphs. This feature may be extended to incorporate averages and trends for TCG loot as a complete set. We now have substantial statistics on the pricing and value of WoW TCG cards and UDE points.
The FAQ area has been revamped and provides extensive information on how to get your prestigious loot items. Check it out here.
Today we soft launched wowtcgloot.com. As the mission statement above says, we strive to list you the cheapest WoW TCG Loot cards, redemptions, and promotional items for your easy reference. In the next few days we have planned some great improvements including:

This image contains the first serious clues as to what the next two expansion loots will be. Wrathgate, the next expansion will contain: Landro's Gift Box, Instant Statue, and Blazing Hippogryph. Icecrown expansion about three months later: Paint Bomb, Portal Stone, and Rhino Mount. Feel free to make comments and guesses in our
We often receive enquiries on how accurate our rarity figures are because UDE have never detailed the distribution of loot in booster packs / boxes / cases. Real world experience on opening cases gives us an accurate picture on what makes them so special and desirable.
The Holiday Season and New Years day have passed since our last update, but it doesn't mean we haven't been busy. During that time we've been working hard on delivering a unique "Instant Buy" option for loot codes. We have partnered with the well respected and high volume eBay merchants "chrisandron2005" and "shine1br" to create a checkout system that allows you to have your loot codes immediently after a successfull transaction at PayPal. To date, we already have had hundreds of happy users playing with their shiny new loots. Clicking "Instant Buy" items allows one to take advantage of this speedy service.
Patch 3.3 hit the live servers this morning, and we finally got to learn about the new mysterious
Two days ago on the 24th of November, the newest WoW TCG expansion
It is very likely that this screenshot is of the new UDE points loot item "Landro's Pet Box", although we won't know for sure until UDE makes an announcement or it becomes available on the points store.
We are proud to be the first to reveal more information on the promised UDE points loot announced early last month. This screenshot reveals the new loot item to be "Landro's Pet Box". This item should be available when patch 3.3 goes live and everything apart from its name is speculation, but best guesses on what this loot will do :-
Today we have received confirmation that the promised refill of 
Landro Longshot down in Booty Bay has revealed the next TCG expansion loot. This expansion, called Scourgewar, is due for release in November 2009 and will contain loot items in order of rarity, Mini-Mount, Tuskarr Kite, and Spectral Tiger Cub. It has been a while since the TCG has included Pet loot, so having two in one expansion is making up for missed expansions.
Does this image contain samples of the next WoW TCG expansion (Scourgewar, due November 2009) loot? Or does it depict one of the new
Patch 3.2 has heralded a significant change to the way mount loot is handled in-game. From now on, all mount loots that require a Riding Skill to use will be redeemed to in-game characters as BoU (Bind on Use) items, and, similar to recipes they will disappear when learnt. This allows mount loot to be sold and traded just like any other commodity in WoW.
There is much discussion about the possibility of unlimited mount loot being generated in the upcoming patch 3.2. Our opinion on the final outcome is that loot codes will remain a one time only redeem, and that TCG mounts will no longer have a non-epic version if available. Currently, Landro Longshot the TCG loot NPC in Booty Bay allows purchasing of mounts after you redeem said mount code. We predict that this will no longer occur and the epic version of the spell will be placed in character inventory instead (hence the removal of non-epic version of mounts). We also think that mounts will no longer be Bind on Pickup, but will be similar to spell manuals in-game. That is, will be tradeable but disappear after use. All other non-mount loot redemption will probably remain the same.
UDE have just

Observant visitors have begun to notice that our forum is no longer visible. The initial reason was accidental, but the more we thought about it, the more we realized that it wasn't needed. Instead, we are going to replace the forum with a custom shoutbox / chat system, think of twitter as an example. We want it to become a less formal place to visit. For those who signed up and posted prior to the forum's demise, we will compensate you with a loot code for your troubles. Details of this compensation will be available when the new chat system goes live.

Happily, we reveal the next three WoW TCG Loot items found in the soon to be released Blood of Gladiators (BoG) WoW TCG expansion. In this image, Landro Longshot reveals the loot description in descending rarity:
Is this a spoiler for one of the three "Blood of Gladiators" (BoG) loots? The picture depicts a happy Orc playing on a spring driven rocking horse toy, except it isn't a horse but a juvenile cat, and judging by the transparency this would likely make it a spectral tiger cub. As it appears to be bolted to the ground, we think it is a Tier 2 loot. Until we find out more we shall name it "Spectral Tiger Cub Rocking Toy".
