Exile's Reach: Unobtainable Appearances Guide

Hey guys! Ever tried to collect every appearance in World of Warcraft? It's a huge task, right? If you're anything like me, you're probably using the AddOn All The Things (ATT) to help keep track. Well, I ran into a bit of a snag while trying to snag all the appearances from Exile's Reach on a Warrior. Turns out, there are two appearances that are, well, unobtainable for Warriors. Let's dive in and see what's up with this and how you can work around it. This is specifically for those of you on Retail WoW, playing on EU servers, and using the latest version of ATT.

The Problem: Tunk's Needle and Tunk's Tiny Bow

So, the main issue is with two weapons that drop from the boss Tunk in the Darkmaul Citadel, part of the Exile's Reach tutorial. The weapons in question are Tunk's Needle and Tunk's Tiny Bow. They sound like pretty standard weapons, yeah? The thing is, when you're playing a Warrior, these weapons aren't on your personal loot table. Since Exile's Reach is a tutorial, the game seems to be set up so you can only get loot from your specific loot table. That means Warriors simply cannot get these appearances.

Now, I'm not entirely sure why these weapons are set up like this. It could be an oversight, a bug, or maybe it's just the way the tutorial is designed. Either way, for a Warrior, collecting these appearances is a no-go. This is a real bummer if you're like me and want to collect every single appearance possible. I mean, who doesn't want to have all the options available for their transmog?

I'll show you how to reproduce the bug. Create a Warrior, select Exile's Reach, go through the tutorial until Darkmaul Citadel, enter it, kill Tunk, and you will not get the appearance. If you're a completionist like me, this is a bit frustrating. But hey, it's a small price to pay for what is otherwise a pretty awesome game.

How to Check If You Are Affected

If you're using All The Things, you can easily see if you're affected by this issue. Here's how:

  1. Open ATT: If you don't have it, go download it! Seriously it will change your life. Once you have it installed, open up the ATT window in-game.
  2. Navigate to Exile's Reach: In the ATT window, search for Exile's Reach. You can usually find this by typing it into the search bar, then click on the zone.
  3. Check the Darkmaul Citadel: Look for the Darkmaul Citadel section, which is where Tunk is located.
  4. See the Missing Items: If you are a Warrior, you'll see Tunk's Needle and Tunk's Tiny Bow marked as uncollected. Boom! Confirmed.

It is good to check this, especially if you want to avoid spending hours trying to get something that you can't.

Workarounds and Considerations

Okay, so the bad news is, as a Warrior, you can't directly get these appearances. But don't worry, there's always a workaround in WoW, right? While there isn't a direct workaround to obtain these appearances as a Warrior, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  1. It's Not Just Warriors: This issue might not be limited to just Warriors. Other classes might have similar issues with specific weapons in the tutorial. Check your ATT to see if any other items are marked as unobtainable in Exile's Reach.
  2. Other Classes: The best way to get these appearances is to run Exile's Reach on a character class that can obtain these items. Hunters and Rogues are a safe bet as they can equip bows and daggers respectively.
  3. Future Updates: Blizzard is always updating and tweaking the game. There's always a chance that this issue could be fixed in a future patch. Keep an eye on patch notes to see if anything changes.
  4. Transmog Limitations: Remember that even if you obtain these appearances on another character, you might not be able to use them on your Warrior. Transmog rules apply, and some appearances are class-specific.
  5. Leveling: Exile's Reach is generally considered to be the new player experience and is designed to take you to level 10. The drops from Tunk are level 10 weapons and this won't impact your end game transmog

So, although it's disappointing to have these appearances unavailable on your Warrior, it's not the end of the world. There are plenty of other appearances to collect. Plus, you can always make a character on a class that can get these appearances! If you are a completionist, like me, you will probably end up doing that.

Conclusion: Keeping an Eye Out

So, there you have it, guys. The lowdown on the unobtainable appearances in Exile's Reach for Warriors. While it's frustrating, it's just one small piece of the massive world of WoW. Make sure you keep an eye on your ATT, and always be aware of what is obtainable in the game. Maybe one day, these issues will be fixed, and we can all complete our collections! In the meantime, happy hunting, and may your transmog luck be ever in your favor. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Cheers!
