"We need a strong trap, peharps something explosive. Oh master trapper do you have any trap?" ... ... ... Nobbel: - playing as a Marksman - oh shit, wait a sec, let me change specs.
I really enjoyed the lore of this weapon, and how they pulled it from the war of the ancients. I main survival (at least for the moment), so it really struck a chord with me.
I feel like this expansion later is gonna take an entire turn and become an old God expansion, from all the hinting in this from the quests, to the way some people interact with and even artifact weapons its certain
For how much trouble this spec gets, Talonclaw... or the Eagle Spear... has quite the story. While I do love the weapons linked to the backstory of the Titans like the Fist of Ra-den or the Scepter of Sargeras, I love how this one told the story of a relic of the Highmountain Tribe. Seeing it in the actual Highmountain Storyline, these Tauren having the blessing of Cenarius and the Wild Gods... It's quite sad really seeing how it ends.
Hey Nobbel, this is more of a Q&A question but I wanted to ask it here anyways. When it comes to the zones for legion, im pretty sure you have done them all. I wanted to know which ones are your favourites. For example heres mine 1: Val'Sharah 2: Stormheim 3: Highmountain 4: Suramar 5: Azsuna The reason why I include Suramar there is because once you get past the rep grind, there is a story and its pretty interesting.
Can I request the skull of the Manari? As a lock main the back story and design of that weapon made me roll back to demo and I'd love to hear you talk about it
hey nobbel when doing the broken shore, you can see hakkar the hound master when gul'dan summons in all the demons that have died or been killed by the heros of azeroth
Hey everyone, heads up. If you do decide to use the Freezing Trap to grab the activated runestone, don't worry about fighting the Vykrul that activated it. Just worry aobut hte lightning about to strike and get out before it hurts you and him.
Hey +Nobbel87 , really love your artifact lore videos. Have you considered doing videos about how Warcraft would look, if some of the most descesive moments in the Warcraft universe changed? Like if Arthas actually sailed to Kalimdor after talking to Medivh, or if Illidan won the fight against Arthas in Icecrown?
I've got to say, I fkn love the new Survival spec, and melee-Hunter design. So damn good. And fighting side-by-side with DemonHunters in Melee is beyond awesome. [:
Some folks on the SubReddit are bitching about the melee Survival Spec, but I just don't get their disdain. It's so much fun, launching that Grappling hook, and BAM!, rotation on! :D
you got it! I am still learning how to utilize my traps to their full potential. But yea they are awesome! I love how we are sort of a trap master. #Feelsgoodman
Definitely waiting to combine the Scythe of Elune with another video. He has already made a video in the past talking about the lore of the weapon. Now he just needs to talk about what Blizz added for Legion.
a question from a curious noob:- can we use non-artifact weapons on the broken isles? of course every one would like to try out the new artifact weapons....but some lower level weapons are much more powerful...like for example the Ranseur of Hatred(heroic) deals almost double the amount of dmg of Talonclaw...so why not use it against more challenging opponents....like Kruul
Onternt Varata Some are more lore-ingrained than others. The scepter of Sargeras is my favorite artifact I've seen, being used by the avatar of Sargeras and for the sundering of Draenor, meanwhile the affliction artifact has you kill a dark rider that has no deep tie to the weapon, that two other specs have to kill for their own artifact...
I really like these artifact lore videos, but you are missing out by not doing the quests in the correct spec. For example, in this one it makes use of your traps in Survival mode.
Is the cat monster buffed by the mist? A pawn of Helya? Or just using it. She/He is all misty so I wonder if he/she got affected by it somehow. i loved the mist; as well as how it's claws are like poisoned which isn't normal. Though one thing I hate that Highmountain tauren dude died by a single shot of the hammer when he could fight a dreadlord by himself! wtf. That and we heroes are just fine when we fight the drugdal dude even after he has MORE experience with the hammer. I know it had to happen but blizz needs to work on the end dying fights more lol.
I have a hunter, and since the update I have enjoyed playing as survival rather than marksmanship because they changed a lot of things. However as my first artefact I chose the bow and was wondering if anyone could give me advice to improve my game style and help make levelling easier. By the way I'm a very casual player and don't know much at all other than questing, I watch these videos out of curiosity. If there's any good advice I'm all ears :)
I thought Huln Highmountain's weapon was The Eagle Spear and this was just a different spear passed between different chieftains? I'm probably just confused.
I've been lost for a while on who the heck Apata is. Is she Mayla's sister or does she just share the same surname as her? She said her ancestor was Huln, but I thought Huln was Mayla's, WoWpedia says Wuho's her only sibling so...yeah, who is she?!
+Jordan Read Huln was amazing in WotA but puttin him in the quests pawning waves of demons like they were nothing, soloing Tichondrius and banishing Deathwing is stupid as hell...
No real order, but I try to connect them to eachother. In this case story of highmountain and the spear with another artifact coming up this week that takes place in the same area
it seems so, Wild gods are what before were called demigods, animal/demihumanoids spirits so strong and blessed by the titans that they become eternal, when they die, their spirits return to the Emerald Dream to reform there, among the wild gods are Ursoc, Aviana, Cenarius, Goldrinn, Ursol those are known very well in Kalimdor. The Troll's Loa which some trolls used in Zul Aman and Zuld Drakkar also are wild gods, and to many surprise even Pandaria's August Celestials are Wild Gods, Xuen, Chi'ji, Nuizao and Yu'Lon
Can you do this questline before you go to HighMountain? Or do you have to finish the main questline in that zone before you are able to get the artifact?
Not at all, their Order Hall is in Highmountain anyway and there might be special interactions when you wear the spear in Highmountain - did not level my Hunter in HM yet, so I can't say it 100%.
From top of my head: Other side of Azeroth, Void Lords & Nylotha, alternate reality like Draenor, timetravel going back to the days of black empire, time travel going into the future as seen in the anduin comic
Nobbel87 That's actually very interesting. Thanks for letting me know ;) P.S I love your lore vids and your voice is so good. Keep up the good work Nobbel
There is no other side of Azeroth, unless they will retcon that... We've already seen how globe looks. Kalimdor is on the one side and Eastern Kingdoms on the other. Void Lords seem possible, although another filler expansion as well (in which we will only defeat their servants).
Allmega007 So far nothing says it exists, also it feels rather stupid that no one went there or even mentioned it (not even the ancients?). We've already seen how Azeroth looks as a planet. As I said, if they add it, it would've meant another retcon and rather pointless one. Better to add another planet, like Argus.
THis is literally the only cool weapon hunters get. Bare minimum getting this weapon is the only questline/scenario that has a HINT of "hunter-ness". Getting the MM bow you have to fight some demons, and the Bm you get a GUN for fuck sake and we get it from MIMIRON?! THe most un-hunter thing i can think of?! Oh and wait! Suddenly Thorim is a BM too! When the FUCK did that happen?! The hunting lodge is PAINFULLY lame compared to most if not all the other class halls and only 3 of the followers have any once of coolness. Hunters got shafted this xpan (PUN INTENDED)
the BM quest is just utter BS, it feels so...engeneery and not what a BM quest should have been. BM are all about the bond between hunter and beast and though that bond is their connection to nature and the animal world, the only thing related to beasties is at the end of the quest where The macha Gnome dude says Thorim is a lover of animals as well and going on and on about those wolves of his...THORIM ISN'T EVEN A FEKKIN HUNTER, HES JUST A WARRIOR/SHAMAN WHO LIKES WOLVES. what they should have done is a bit where you fall into a pit of animals or something and then use your mighty beast mastery powers/affinity for animals and calm/fake tame all of them and sic em on the dude/whoever threw you in the pit. IDK something more than "oh Thorim likes animals too hes got a couple of wolves" WELL I HAVE 6. 10 including my SB wolves and Hati. Git Gud Thorim you aren't trying hard enough, well whatevs, he can wait for Skoll forever cus hes not coming back because I TAMED HIM TOO. Take that tall stone dude I got BOTH your wolves now. /rude and is it just me or have they Nerfed us BMs again? it takes me forever to kill anything and I die so fuking often now.

Nobbel: - playing as a Marksman - oh shit, wait a sec, let me change specs.
"Master trapper"? but i am a marksman... ohh.. ohh you talking about the other me.
Let me rub my hand and change personality real quick.
I really enjoyed the lore of this weapon, and how they pulled it from the war of the ancients. I main survival (at least for the moment), so it really struck a chord with me.
Metzen's son: hey dad can i name an artifact?
Metzen's: sure son what do you have in mind?
Metzen's son: Talonclaw, it's a talon, but also a claw
Or maybe it's because it was blessed by both a bird and a canine? You know, a talon and a claw?
*Minds blown*
defeated a horde of demons, gets rekt by a giant cat
Cat must've been from a new expansion and he wasn't geared up.
He didnt have Exhilaration and Aspect of the Turtle when he tryed to solo it
It's the other tauren. A cat ain't got shit on Huln "Helicopter" Highmountain.
It's not Huln... did you watch the video -_-
Zakaria Brow yes, but that spear has the power to defeat countless demons, poor huln had an incompetent bloodline after him.
I just love the way you tell stories. The fact I want to learn more about WoW just makes your storytelling even better
Thanks for doing these Nobbel I would never level any of these classes myself and its cool to be able to see the story behind each weapon!
+Nobbel87 can you add all of these [artifact lore] videos into a playlist? I love your videos!
Absolutely,here you go: ruclips.net/p/PLV3Yvqnl3FYf9lvyLGVmD-qW05lJvPBNn
Thank you so much! It's time to binge watch!
Nobbel87 please do an affliction warlock video soon
hey i think that u should at least do 1 vid everyday
Videos are a little time-consuming to create. You can't just shit one out every day.
Skull of the Man'ari soon please! Come on an artifact that talks to you that you team up with? That's awesome
that thing is pretty sick.
I feel like this expansion later is gonna take an entire turn and become an old God expansion, from all the hinting in this from the quests, to the way some people interact with and even artifact weapons its certain
I'm glad your doing all of these would have been a pain to find them all otherwise.
I wonder if anybody at blizzard knew that Onara means 'Fart' in Japanese. So the weapon had 'Fart Spear' written on it.
For how much trouble this spec gets, Talonclaw... or the Eagle Spear... has quite the story. While I do love the weapons linked to the backstory of the Titans like the Fist of Ra-den or the Scepter of Sargeras, I love how this one told the story of a relic of the Highmountain Tribe.
Seeing it in the actual Highmountain Storyline, these Tauren having the blessing of Cenarius and the Wild Gods... It's quite sad really seeing how it ends.
Hey Nobbel, this is more of a Q&A question but I wanted to ask it here anyways.
When it comes to the zones for legion, im pretty sure you have done them all. I wanted to know which ones are your favourites. For example heres mine
1: Val'Sharah
2: Stormheim
3: Highmountain
4: Suramar
5: Azsuna
The reason why I include Suramar there is because once you get past the rep grind, there is a story and its pretty interesting.
Heh, great as always. Just wanted to say - Nobbel trying to do the low rumbling voice is endearing ;)
Awesome. Survival hunter for life!
Since Deathwing is related to the Highmountain questline, will you do Deathwing's story next? Would love to see it.
Nobbel you forgot to mention that there were lots of Huln Highmountain running around.
Goddamn Nobbel ur doing great job whit these lore videos ! Keep it up.
Can I request the skull of the Manari? As a lock main the back story and design of that weapon made me roll back to demo and I'd love to hear you talk about it
"As we go around killing everyone in the village" I loled
hey nobbel when doing the broken shore, you can see hakkar the hound master when gul'dan summons in all the demons that have died or been killed by the heros of azeroth
Hey everyone, heads up. If you do decide to use the Freezing Trap to grab the activated runestone, don't worry about fighting the Vykrul that activated it. Just worry aobut hte lightning about to strike and get out before it hurts you and him.
Thanks for another good vid Nobbel. Have you done the Maw yet?
Hey +Nobbel87 , really love your artifact lore videos. Have you considered doing videos about how Warcraft would look, if some of the most descesive moments in the Warcraft universe changed? Like if Arthas actually sailed to Kalimdor after talking to Medivh, or if Illidan won the fight against Arthas in Icecrown?
Love these! Any specific order you are doing these in? Can't wait for priest :>
I've got to say, I fkn love the new Survival spec, and melee-Hunter design.
So damn good. And fighting side-by-side with DemonHunters in Melee is beyond awesome. [:
I can finally main Survival since I can go melee now! I cannot stand the Hunter play style.
Some folks on the SubReddit are bitching about the melee Survival Spec, but I just don't get their disdain. It's so much fun, launching that Grappling hook, and BAM!, rotation on! :D
you got it! I am still learning how to utilize my traps to their full potential. But yea they are awesome! I love how we are sort of a trap master. #Feelsgoodman
Can you the Scepter of Sargeras next? BTW love your videos.
I like the GoT style in which not everyone survives..., this makes the weapon feel a bit more legendary
I'm seeing more taurens involved in this expansion.
I like this.
I like this a lot.
You know bloodtotem, the easiest way to subdue Ohnahra is to signal the buster call.
wow this quest chain was changed a lot
wait, isnt there a fourth druid artifact? the scythe of elune or something like that
They do have four. Claws, scythe, fangs, staff.
Yeah, still waiting for the sctyhe, i main Balance but skimmed most of the questlines. damn.
He might be waiting to do it with unholy dk and affliction lock artifacts, since they're all pretty much the same quest
Definitely waiting to combine the Scythe of Elune with another video. He has already made a video in the past talking about the lore of the weapon. Now he just needs to talk about what Blizz added for Legion.
a question from a curious noob:-
can we use non-artifact weapons on the broken isles?
of course every one would like to try out the new artifact weapons....but some lower level weapons are much more powerful...like for example the Ranseur of Hatred(heroic) deals almost double the amount of dmg of Talonclaw...so why not use it against more challenging opponents....like Kruul
Do prot warrior artifact weapon next ! The dragonscale of the earthwarder ! (Deathwing)
I wonder if Jarod's name, carved on the spear, will be mentioned as you complete Artifact Research.
Are you going to do lore of all artifacts?
Yo what the fuck. The Talonclaw is a lot more interesting than most artifacts.
yesss Survival ftw!!!
Onternt Varata Some are more lore-ingrained than others. The scepter of Sargeras is my favorite artifact I've seen, being used by the avatar of Sargeras and for the sundering of Draenor, meanwhile the affliction artifact has you kill a dark rider that has no deep tie to the weapon, that two other specs have to kill for their own artifact...
Love your videos
Apata is wearing a Death Knight chest and gloves lol.
Hey Nobble, when do you think you may be doing the Lore on Xal'atath, Blade of the Black Empire?
Do one on the shadow priest artifact weapon Xal'ath, you cannot resist it's whispers Nobbel
That awkward moment when you had to switch specs to lay the traps and didn't have a weapon to fight. I had the same thing when I did this quest.
but.....my hunter got a spear in the mail >.> low ilvl but it got the job done
also....order hall vendor sells a spears
My frost death knight got dual one-hands as well.
was no need to switch specs when i did it as bm
I really like these artifact lore videos, but you are missing out by not doing the quests in the correct spec. For example, in this one it makes use of your traps in Survival mode.
Also, vendor in class hall sells iLevel 740 weapons for each spec so you can do the quests.
Is the cat monster buffed by the mist? A pawn of Helya? Or just using it. She/He is all misty so I wonder if he/she got affected by it somehow. i loved the mist; as well as how it's claws are like poisoned which isn't normal. Though one thing I hate that Highmountain tauren dude died by a single shot of the hammer when he could fight a dreadlord by himself! wtf. That and we heroes are just fine when we fight the drugdal dude even after he has MORE experience with the hammer. I know it had to happen but blizz needs to work on the end dying fights more lol.
huln didn't die to the hammer it was a different person
oh duh it was her father who i just thought was huln xD oops i knew that i swear
Jarod Shadowsong's gear sorta looks like Nixxiom.
Oh no, not Woohoo!!
Nobbel, wanna main hunter and pick up my "spear"? ;)
Oh my, kinky! :)
Wait, how can it be a spear if hunters use only bows???
*Facepalm* Magic.
is this the same highmountain clan from the hammer vid?
PLEAAAAAAAASE DO WARSWORDS OF THE VALAJAR!
They are coming next, it's confirmed. ;)
VijoPlays Woohoo!
oh my goodness! since I am like an annoying fool: It is Valarjar, not Valajar.
Random annoyance -- 2016.
I have a hunter, and since the update I have enjoyed playing as survival rather than marksmanship because they changed a lot of things. However as my first artefact I chose the bow and was wondering if anyone could give me advice to improve my game style and help make levelling easier. By the way I'm a very casual player and don't know much at all other than questing, I watch these videos out of curiosity.
If there's any good advice I'm all ears :)
It's a shame more hunters don't play surv, it's the only hunter spec that requires some thought imo.
I thought Huln Highmountain's weapon was The Eagle Spear and this was just a different spear passed between different chieftains? I'm probably just confused.
Talonclaw has different names, Eagle Spear is one of it
It's the same weapon, the guards in Thunder Totem salute you when you pass nearby
Word. Thanks for the replies you too
two*
I've been lost for a while on who the heck Apata is. Is she Mayla's sister or does she just share the same surname as her? She said her ancestor was Huln, but I thought Huln was Mayla's, WoWpedia says Wuho's her only sibling so...yeah, who is she?!
Wheres the Scythe of Elune?? ;^(
The Legion has invaded like 10 times
So survival hunter any good this expansion? Haven't seen any of them.
Why is the nightmare corruption uncurable?
Hello Nobbel. Quick question. Can you give me the link for the full artifact history you found for Talonclaw? I cant find it myself.
www.wowhead.com/news=255878/all-the-lore-and-text-from-artifact-knowledge-tomes
thank you very much:d! have a wonderful day!
I vote for The Story of Skull of the Man'ari
You know... the hippogryph wasn't that big when I saw it.
In Warcraft III codex it was Malfurion that defeated Tichondrius not Huln. Blizzard must really make up their bloody minds...
Could be one of the 'blades of grass' that was changed by the time travelling.
+Jordan Read Huln was amazing in WotA but puttin him in the quests pawning waves of demons like they were nothing, soloing Tichondrius and banishing Deathwing is stupid as hell...
12:44 illidan?
Play as the correct spec for the artifact..
1:55 GRYPHON?
1:55 gryphon? more like hypogryph or? :D
I wonder if players will get to carve a name into the spear to continue the tradition.
can you image : TheRarestPepe, xxxxasgasdgsdhxxx , ibangedurmomxd, on the spear ? it would be awesome
Scythe of Elune?
You should do the story of Milhouse Manastorm, specially now that we know he has a wife.
Hey Nobbel, is there any particular order to this? Stuff you find most interesting?
No real order, but I try to connect them to eachother. In this case story of highmountain and the spear with another artifact coming up this week that takes place in the same area
Nobbel87 Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the reply.
Anyone else doing emerald nightmare and struggling with dps as survival hunter
What/Who exactly are the Wild Gods, are they like the bosses in zul'aman?
it seems so, Wild gods are what before were called demigods, animal/demihumanoids spirits so strong and blessed by the titans that they become eternal, when they die, their spirits return to the Emerald Dream to reform there, among the wild gods are Ursoc, Aviana, Cenarius, Goldrinn, Ursol those are known very well in Kalimdor. The Troll's Loa which some trolls used in Zul Aman and Zuld Drakkar also are wild gods, and to many surprise even Pandaria's August Celestials are Wild Gods, Xuen, Chi'ji, Nuizao and Yu'Lon
Anyone else pronounce "Wuho" as "WOAH!"
No I pronounce it as Woo Hoo.
Can you do this questline before you go to HighMountain? Or do you have to finish the main questline in that zone before you are able to get the artifact?
You get the artifact as the very first thing in Legion, before any zones.
***** That complicates things in High Mountain then for the Survival Hunters then, don't you think?
Not at all, their Order Hall is in Highmountain anyway and there might be special interactions when you wear the spear in Highmountain - did not level my Hunter in HM yet, so I can't say it 100%.
yup. The tauren in Thunder Totem say something along the lines "the Thunder Totem greet the wielder of TalonClaw."
its not just me who is experiencing microphone bias on the right ear, right? its driving me nuts
unholy death knight please
neat
Why all the garbo artifacts first?
damn nobbel, lots of videos coming out. remember to take a break and breath a bit dude!
Poor Whoo Hoo
His son Yee Haw must be sad.
Hey Nobbel, other than Lich king old gods or argus, what do you think could be a possible expac for world of warcraft?
From top of my head: Other side of Azeroth, Void Lords & Nylotha, alternate reality like Draenor, timetravel going back to the days of black empire, time travel going into the future as seen in the anduin comic
Nobbel87 That's actually very interesting. Thanks for letting me know ;)
P.S I love your lore vids and your voice is so good. Keep up the good work Nobbel
There is no other side of Azeroth, unless they will retcon that... We've already seen how globe looks. Kalimdor is on the one side and Eastern Kingdoms on the other. Void Lords seem possible, although another filler expansion as well (in which we will only defeat their servants).
MrArcling actually other side was confirmed. We just don't have any hints to it other than blizzcon 2014/15
Allmega007 So far nothing says it exists, also it feels rather stupid that no one went there or even mentioned it (not even the ancients?). We've already seen how Azeroth looks as a planet. As I said, if they add it, it would've meant another retcon and rather pointless one. Better to add another planet, like Argus.
Holy crap,
Blizzard goes full GoT
They just killed "important" npc without 2nd thinking...
Blizz goes edgy mode, must be the work of illidan
those were the siblings of mayla highmountain so yea they were important
*New NPC introduced*
*kool, let's do diz quest*
*1 minute later*
*ded*
what happened to EagleSpear?
It's the same weapon, just named differently through time
It was eaglespear at first then the two-headed cainie Omen blessed. Eagle talon+ canine claw= Talonclaw
That's interesting since the Heirloom spear is called The Eagle Spear.
"Talonclaw"
...clawclaw?
THis is literally the only cool weapon hunters get. Bare minimum getting this weapon is the only questline/scenario that has a HINT of "hunter-ness". Getting the MM bow you have to fight some demons, and the Bm you get a GUN for fuck sake and we get it from MIMIRON?! THe most un-hunter thing i can think of?! Oh and wait!

The hunting lodge is PAINFULLY lame compared to most if not all the other class halls and only 3 of the followers have any once of coolness. Hunters got shafted this xpan (PUN INTENDED)
Is it just me or should Blizzard employ Native American voice actors for Taurens?
the BM quest is just utter BS, it feels so...engeneery and not what a BM quest should have been. BM are all about the bond between hunter and beast and though that bond is their connection to nature and the animal world, the only thing related to beasties is at the end of the quest where The macha Gnome dude says Thorim is a lover of animals as well and going on and on about those wolves of his...THORIM ISN'T EVEN A FEKKIN HUNTER, HES JUST A WARRIOR/SHAMAN WHO LIKES WOLVES.
what they should have done is a bit where you fall into a pit of animals or something and then use your mighty beast mastery powers/affinity for animals and calm/fake tame all of them and sic em on the dude/whoever threw you in the pit. IDK something more than "oh Thorim likes animals too hes got a couple of wolves" WELL I HAVE 6. 10 including my SB wolves and Hati. Git Gud Thorim you aren't trying hard enough, well whatevs, he can wait for Skoll forever cus hes not coming back because I TAMED HIM TOO. Take that tall stone dude I got BOTH your wolves now. /rude
and is it just me or have they Nerfed us BMs again? it takes me forever to kill anything and I die so fuking often now.
Has blizzard ever offered you a job?
Shame the Broken Isles tauren and elves have better lore to them than the playable tauren and elves.
just goes to show: Legion over the "totally amazing" Vanilla.
We shall see, young grasshopper. We shall see.
Hunters in 2016 LUL
Pretty lackluster compared to some of the other artifacts.
