Special Runner Up "unnamed NPC" should go to the Argent Crusader Squire. Not only will he follow you around carrying the flag of whichever City you are the Champion of, he also will give you access to you Bank, Mailbox, and or a Reagent Vendor. Truly WotLK was the expansion where Blizzard decided to just get rid of a lot the legacy MMO inconveniences.

[@elorateq3672]

Guild Page with the Pony is invaluable for anyone who runs old dungeons for tmogs etc.

[@noodlespoo]

This should totally be #1. Bank access is invaluable

[@MrGoesBoom]

Nice to see my boy Khadgar on here...great character that hasn't suffered plot burnout from overuse. Hope it stays that way!

[@CertavusGrey5450]

I remember watching a video where someone was running antorus and they managed to get khadgar to fight the two felhounds. He just stood there meleeing them for about 8 hours until he killed them 😂. Unintentional bit hilarious.

[@ZakhadWOW]

the best of of Khadgar since he got voice acting? Tony Amendola, previously pest known as Master Bra'tac from Stargate SG1, has had an ongoing WOW career, that shows no signs of abating. I've tweeted back and forth with him a few times about how cool it is to see him keep going!

[@debilivendorofficial3514]

😮

[@ravenfyrepentrust]

Same! He's awesome and his VA knocks it out of the park every time!

[@arkumbral2146]

Khadgar will always be my favorite character

[@Saimeren]

The first NPC that can be summoned from a toy? Archmage Vargoth is diappointed in you.

[@josejuanandrade4439]

"The 1st npc that can be summoned from a toy" Archmage Vargoth does not agree with this statement.

[@treespawned7844]

One thing about those Dalaran Portals: They were removed in BfA, when the portal rooms were added. Even though at that point the Portal to the Caverns of Time was not redundant, it was removed entirely at first and only added in to those rooms because of player demand 1-2 patches later.

[@frtzkng]

Note on the Brutosaur appearing "sometimes" on the BMAH: is has only been seen *twice* on NA and *never* on EU. In fact, the last sale was in 2021, so ways to obtain the mount have been functionally removed for two years now. And this removal was unpopular because FOMO tactics suck. They punish later players and serve nobody except the people who can feel privileged for having achieved the great feat of being somewhere at a time.

[@frtzkng]

Same goes for titles. In fact, 28% of the titles available in the game are unobtainable as of now, August 2023.

[@yankokassinof6710]

​@@frtzkngand are you or someone going after all of those? no one gives a shit about what isnt available anymore

[@frtzkng]

@@yankokassinof6710 Many people are. The notion of a game being impossible to 100% is quite frustrating and usually considered poor game design

[@JJJBunney001]

​@@yankokassinof6710yes lots of people like going after things that are cool so when they're removed people are upset

[@jj77669]

The Ethereal Transmogrifier toy is also a non-consumable option for #6, which is on the trading post this month (August '23).

[@ballsofsalsa01]

In trade post this month

[@somerandominternetdweller]

Oh Khadgar and his bad jokes.

[@Icyboltz]

Dropped right on my lunch break! Thank you for the great content ❤

[@feli_esmeralder]

Same here!

[@Pille22]

Top 10 Items, that were changed into toys. The Dalaran Hearthstone & the Garrison Hearthstone are now toys. :O

[@Dravved]

Finally the true heroes of WoW getting recognition

[@BlufootGaming]

It is worth mentioning, in Wrath Classic Zidormi also appears outside Undercity and Onyxia, to toggle the Battle for Undercity on and off or Toggle Onyxia's raid to be lvl 60 or 80 respectively. She's even helping the classic andys!

[@frtzkng]

Now if they did that with Naxxramas in Classic or, better yet, the entirety of old Azeroth in Retail

[@thomasdye7503]

How you gonna forget my boy Theldurin the Lost? Man punched Deathwing in the face and saved us all in Cata smh

[@bobmurlock8111]

Hey Hiru, I absolutely love your videos, and I haven’t played WoW in years! Have a nice day!

[@ElimiNathanYT]

I wish Zidormi was able to teleport us to pre-cataclysm Azeroth because I miss the old barrens

[@Epidombe]

Its weird, I 100% agree with you. But as soon as I start leveling there in classic I’m in a rush to get the hell out.

[@JJJBunney001]

Yeah that might be nostalgia talking because playing through classic recently, the barrels are a grind and a half

[@Gebirges]

Khadgar should be WoW's main anchor character - he is the best written character by a mile and super popular aswell. There's an unwritten rule that whenever he's involved, the expansion has a great story.

[@KTcrazy21]

WOD = Hard disagree

[@Poeticphyre]

I agree. In my honest opinion, he should be no. 1 on this list. He is one of my favorite WoW characters.

[@Sodys_eyy]

@@KTcrazy21let me guess. Youve never played WoD, but you wanna be involved in the trend of hating on WoD am I right?

[@KTcrazy21]

@@Sodys_eyy do you want to see my logs, ****head? cringe ass comment

[@KTcrazy21]

@@Sodys_eyy you seem like the type to play the same raid for 7 months in a row and it still be challenging for you

[@WolfDogNH]

I don't play wow anymore but love your videos :) one of the very few wow video creators I am still subbed too.

[@EdyGlockenspiel]

The driver NPC does not and can not be attacked at all. When you get dazed while in it, you still get slowed but not dismounted. This actually makes it useful even past when you can use 200% mounts because of it. You are also immune to any and all dismounting effects while in it as you are technically not the one mounted. The best mount equipment for non DKs or shams is the water walking one, so most people would use that instead of the anti daze one.

[@Tangies]

I love your videos so much thank you !!!! I appreciate you so much

[@sandernielsen8278]

Another helpful npc are the Spirit healers (and Bwonsamdi)

[@timberIII]

And the valkyr, there is a toy that turns the spirit healer into one for 8hrs

[@sandernielsen8278]

@@timberIII Oh yeah true i forgot! Good one

[@daturbantor]

Surprised you didn't mention Moll E portable mail box when talking about #2

[@josephshuman4972]

I've literally never leveled a character past level 53 but I still love these videos

[@Arcexey]

@joshephshuman4972 you mean you had your gold sellers power level you for you?

[@bigdaddyjh2002]

Literally. 👍

[@cristhianmlr]

Is top 10 removed NPCs named after real life personalities too spicy?

[@feli_esmeralder]

I never had the option of getting a "new" Keystone from the NPC from Shadowlands

[@PregnantOrc]

Captain Garrick also does not respect sound mutes and her voice lines still play in some scenes even if you have turned sound off.

[@Ryuzaki365]

Regarding #10 - you said players can save gold by using the chauffeured mount - but you dont have to pay for mount skill since 10.1.5 - its automatically learned at 10-20-30-40

[@beltarix1136]

Yak > mammoth and its not even close. Yak is cross faction + transmog, meanwhile one of the mammoth vendors is completely useless and not everyone can interact with them.

[@Verdis_deMosays]

Yeah, Yak is more useful, but I had my Mammoth for 2 expansions of amazing use saving raid delays, so it will always have a special place for me.

[@norxlor]

Also, iirc you can eject the NPC's on the mammoth and have 2 people ride with you as well.

[@beltarix1136]

@@norxlor You can on the yak as well

[@xman-te3xr]

hey hirumaredx are you planning to do another episode of Top 10 Creepy Things in WoW ?

[@MrLolguy93]

Can you make a list of new classes or specs for old classes that the players want?

[@MostlyNotDps]

Not sure if she counts but “the innkeeper’s daughter” probably deserves a spot. Everybody who had archaeology uses her to hearth.

[@Leopoldshark]

No Captain Placeholder :(

[@troodon1096]

Small correction: Cousin Slowhands was never a reforger; Mystic Birdhat was, but then became a transmogrifier when reforging was removed from the game.

[@InglorionTCG]

nice to see that duel logs helps this poor guy to do some tops

[@mixelk270]

Captain Placeholder is missing

[@MeritRaXIX]

Now we need the most helpful UNnamed NPCs.

[@HuxtableK]

Your Number 8, the two NPCs from Exile's Reach? They also serve as the tank's in the dungeon for that startijg area, while their relative works as the healer foe the dungeon. That way you as the player can worry exclusively about damage.

[@Saimeren]

Anyone know the name of the quest in Oribos that takes you through the Undercity story after BFA? I found it one time on my DK and started it, I got to a point where I was able to take a Forsaken disguise in Tirisfal and then I think I forgot about the quest and deleted it. I want to do it now on a new toon.

[@mayasuxs]

I'm gonna assume its the whole Return to Lordaeron storyline? starts with Eyes of the Wolf for alliance, or Call to Lordaeron for horde

[@madeofmeats]

To add onto what the first reply said, for horde the quest giver should be Caelia Menethil and Genn Greymane for Alliance

[@jasondeandulierjr.299]

Yeah, removing the brutosaur mount at the start of Shadowlands was proof of how detached and uncaring blizzard was for their playerbase.

[@jasondeandulierjr.299]

nahhhh swapping the mammoth and the yak would make the most sense for this list. A LOT more people use the yak

[@en21b]

Not going to say you are 100% wrong but I'm almost positive that, on the Grand expedition Yak, Cousin Slowhands was always an item vendor and Mystic Birdhat was originally a reforging vendor that was turned into a transmogrify vendor after reforging was done away with. Again, not 100% sure but I think so. At least that is the info that Wowpedia provides.

[@MalakhimJWQ1]

Hail all

[@PeterJ.Daniels]

Do a vid on history of player made challenges since hardcore is bumpin. That guy who leveed through mining, ironman etc

[@troljinwow4322]

So for the yak if my memory serves me well the repair vendor was always there and the transmogrification vendor was changed from the reforging vendor

[@Necrodoge]

i mean all the corruption was removed via our artifacts then we spent almost the entire xpac of bfa mending the wounds caused by azeroth being stabbed so its basically harmless now but its also apparently a big major problem according to the wow community on reddit

[@Asianthewock]

We need more Khadgar

[@worldofwarcraftgod]

WARLORD BREKKA GRIMAXE.

[@dukekemppy5409]

Youtissing a Zidormi location. She is also putside Onyxia raid to pick the classic or wrath version

[@Resil27021]

something something gunther arcanus

[@WorentFelix]

00:08 OHH... THIS VERY good, the alliance have to Statham BAD, but the horde have to Morgan Freeman to lead us like the horde will always be the best for them. It's lucky you didn't include Jaina, I don't like characters who only helped the alliance more in times of war, not in major conflicts. Khadgar is great

[@artimusofthemoon2419]

I think the yak should be higher as it basically does what the mammoth does on top of transmog

[@mattalan6618]

Jeeves would fit this topic. also the NPCs on both the Horde and Alliance repair yaks and mammoths

[@rheonate]

Can you please make a video like tis but about Lore characters? :)

[@sylowlover]

Isn't zidormi also at ony's lair?

[@hughmandingo645]

Does jeeves count as a npc?

[@zitadoeza]

I personally find those mount NPC dialogue prompts really annoying, like nothing quite grinds my gears like dismounting near an inn/flight path, in a village or even Dalaran and having them complain about being stranded. My dudes I don't know how to get you any closer to civilization, what else do you want from me. (I know it's just a game and they're programmed that way but still, i'd rather have them not say anything at all, the funny wears off quite quickly)

[@madeofmeats]

“I am just a pitiful creature of meat and brew”

[@milenasoloduhina1726]

is it just me or Zidormi is a nod to Ctrl-Z?

[@nbrain]

Never knew Jason stathem’s name in the transporter it’s not all that important to the ‘plot’ 😂

[@hyperdragon1290]

what is about Jeeves ? its a mobile bank

[@bendeanwood9713]

I would love to see make a gold farming guide, cuz your content is simple accurate and useful, give it a try maybe?

[@z3r0fucksgiven59]

Make a video about stuns, I miss seal of justice on pally and I hate rogues.

[@TheKobasen]

I thought spirit healer would make it on the list

[@jaradsmethers3601]

allied raaces

[@worldofwarcraftgod]

Belroselands.

[@mattsmenagerie5603]

6 and 7 are in the incorrect order

[@mattsmenagerie5603]

1 is incorrect as well

[@mattalan6618]

i LOVE Chromie

[@dawfydd]

You could just do the counter to this video, which is the least helpful npcs, those which you have to escourt or wait for, perhaps in expansions like legion where you were encouraged to play more than one toon.. so many of us had to sit through the same boring or annoying content more than once! Or perhaps just a quest npc who is just always annoying to interact with *cough* a certain undead *cough*

[@elorateq3672]

You only have to think of any escort quest where the NPC rides a L20 slow mount (Thrall in Durnhold, for example) or, worse, walks...

[@ArklusDryxal]

but... you dont need gold to get riding levels anymore...

[@ledeanna2554]

I have both the Yak and Mammoth and I don't use the Mammoth anymore only the Yak so I don't agree with your list.

[@EdyGlockenspiel]

Uhh, you misspelled and mispronounced Dadghar. Why do you think he tells so many dad jokes?

[@kbredstar529]

Long live buttress.

[@worldofwarcraftgod]

How is bro mounted in fuckin exiles reach

[@Freestyle80]

Hiru’s channel acts weird for me, always disappears for months (as in no recommendations) and then comes back after a few months with a bunch of recommendations

[@TCuddles]

Bird > Gnome

[@Hurtydwarf]

Me and all my homies hate Hakmud. Gnimo supremacy.

[@shmooperdoodle]

With kindness, these videos sound too accelerated to me. It messes with the vibe.

[@MadAtreides1]

every character from spot 1 to 9 should be Arthas for carrying the game for so long. 10th place is Illidan for doing the same but just with less success.

[@Kuvanet]

Is Jeeves a joke to you?! 😡

[@TheNarghes]

Suprised that SW and ORG AH npcs ain't #1 nor on this list at all

[@davidellett5065]

This is feedback I gave blizzard, trying to get peoples opinion on the matter: "Games have gotten boring and repetitive. You guys are either not trying or no longer good at producing content at the evolving level World of Warcraft was when it first debuted. But that's not the main reason I'm stopping all blizzard gaming and support. You support fascist and immoral views that you have the audacity and extreme hubris and ignorance to think is ok and wise to dictate how people communicate with each other on your platform. If someone is generally(not just one instance of a he said she said scenario) toxic, people can ignore them and not play with them. They will ultimately lose interest(majority of your games are meant to be played with others, aside from hermits who likely don't interact with anyone in the first place) or change their behavior. Instead you opt to control even letting them think and say what they like in the first place, and you dont see how stupid that is for development and overall cohesiveness? How does someone grow? By being coddled? Thats wrong and extremely ignorant. You need only look at rich children without any discipline because they can afford to ignore or overlook complicated situations, because who when young and stupid would willingly seek out to confront their fears or difficult decisions? This is common sense, and by you participating in this behavior, you are immoral and wrong, which is completely antithesis to what you believe you are doing. The titanic assininity of it dwarfs my ability to comprehend how you could come to this conclusion. Albeit Im assuming its more of a devious nature of who runs the company whose agenda is for control and money(over 70 trillion in assets blackrock followers). Nonetheless the only way to combat such tyranny is by not participating or giving my time or money to you, so thats what i will do until you come to your senses. I will of course pass this belief along to all of those i know(I have a feeling you'll actually have someone check that, like an insidious csgo player checking someones account history for ammo to combat with character attacks instead of refuting the belief) and hopefully you lose even more consumers(lord knows you've lost a lot since being bought out by people whose bottom line is pure money and not the common sense goal of excellence, go figure) so someone with sense and authority can help save you lot. I wish you luck in that endeavor, surely not with your current agenda. "
