The title is only halfway true. It isn’t my rocket, but well, Booty Bay’s own Landro Longshot’s rocket. It’s his big red rocket that can take you straight to cloud nine if you hold on tight.
With the upcoming WoW: Trading Card Game we will be able to get our hands on the very rare X-51 Nether-Rocket. It will be available next expansion come March called Servants of the Betrayer. With this set of WoW trading cards, there is in total three types of loot cards: The aforementioned (very rare) rocket, a personalized weather-making machine and biscuits for your novelty pets. Another big change is that ALL booster packs will now feature some loot card.
The X-51 Nether-Rocket will be the rarest of the three, and you will be able to purchase both a +60% speed flying rocket as well as an +280% speed one. It will (of course) only be usable in Outland and Northrend, but will naturally be quite a sight.
The less rare, but still not common, loot card will be the Personalized Weather-Making Machine. An in-inventory clickable item, the weather-maker will generate a personalized weather graphic that appears over the user’s head. The card game artwork will give a hint on it’s uses.
“The weather-maker will generate a number of different weather graphics, from sunbeams to thunderstorms. Wherever you go in Azeroth, the weather will be yours to command.”
The thrid loot card will be “super-common Loot™”, and give you the possibility of having the cool loot from the trading card game to all your characters. The biscuit will transform your novelty pet to about the size of a hunter’s pet. Finally my Panda Cub will look like a proper panda bear! The only crux is that the loot you claim from Landro Longshot is consumable, so you can only use them a limited amount of times. Cooldown or duration is unknown.
Thanks AnnaMaria for the information!
