A new month, a new WoW Dragonflight Trading Post. Featuring a witch’s broom-inspired mount and transmogs for Death Knights, Demon Hunters, and Druids, Halloween season is finally here, and it’s looking spooktacular. Well, kind of, because unfortunately one of the Druid transmogs actually can’t be worn by Druids. Yeah, that’s awkward.
Entitled ‘Ashamane’s Blessings of Rebirth,’ WoW‘s latest Druid transmog is absolutely gorgeous. Inspired by the Druid’s natural roots (pun entirely intended), it sees your Druid wield a leafy clawlike fist weapon, a stone dagger, or gnarled wooden staff. The problem is, you can’t actually use dual-wield as a Druid in the MMORPG.
As spotted by WoW content creator ‘Marvel,’ you can only transmog the fist and the dagger if you’re dual-wielding them – a luxury that Druids don’t actually have.
“Druids: This is a WARNING to not spend your Trading Post tenders on the druid-only fists and daggers,” she writes. “You can’t transmog them unless you’re wearing fists and daggers (we can’t wield fists and daggers). Unless they’re patched to work like artifact appearances, they’re not usable.”
This applies to both Feral and Guardian Druids, who are probably the two that need the weapons the most. Balance (or ‘Boomkin’), after all, is a ranged DPS spec, and Restoration is a supportive healer.
And it really is a pity: both of these look absolutely awesome, and don’t require you to actually splash the cash. Sure, it’s still worth grinding for Ashamane’s Vestment of Rebirth, but two out of four weapon transmogs being useless doesn’t feel great.
While we cross our fingers and hope for a patch, it’s worth spending your Trader’s Tender on things like the High Scholar’s Grand Staff (I need it for my Holy Priest) and the Lil’ Phylactery (or Lil’ KT) because it’s adorable. The Headmaster’s Skullcap is also perfect if you’re looking to cosplay a Spyro-style Alextrasza this spooky season, so I’d suggest picking that up, too.
To make sure you’re scooping up as much Tender as possible, though, make sure you’re running one of the best specs from our WoW Dragonflight tier list, as well as all of the best WoW addons – it never hurts to have some help.

Need a new way to watch sports? Twitch might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Remember way back when in the depths of 2021 when we last redesigned the RPS homepage and a good number of you asked if you'd ever be able to personalise what you saw there so you didn't miss the stuff that really mattered to you? WELL. Have I got some good news for you. Today, our tech team have launched our brand-new "For You" section on the RPS homepage, which shows the latest articles about any topics you've followed on the site. Give it a try! We'd love to hear what you think of it.
There’s a movie, hiding in the recesses of Tubi, Roku Channel, and other ad-supported streaming services, that feels like watching a waking nightmare. It’s an indescribable movie, not really existing in any particular genre. It’s a horror movie, a drama, an arthouse film, and a work of grounded surrealism.
Blizzard has posted This Week in WoW which includes a new promotion tomorrow and many Patch 10.2 articles!
The launch of Counter-Strike 2 has been exciting, but it comes with the disappointing caveat that, rather than succeeding CS:GO, it has completely replaced it. Well, almost completely: It's actually still possible to launch CS:GO, and will be indefinitely, although you get a very limited version that may break in the future.
How about a little something to lower your spirits? FoxNext have announced that they're delisting or, ugh, "sunsetting" 505 Go's Alien: Blackout, the surprisingly solid mobile and tablet horror game you could summarise as Five Nights at Freddy's, if Freddy's were a subsidiary of Weyland-Yutani. You've got until 31st October to play it, after which all development and support for Blackout will cease and the game will no longer be available to buy.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will have adjustable swing assist, allowing players to choose how much help they receive whilst swinging.
It’s been a hot second since DreamWorks put out a new serialized animated show not based on an existing film franchise. And in the wake of some bigger animated darlings like The Owl House ending, it’s the perfect time for the studio to flex. Fright Krewe, from horror director Eli Roth (Hostel) and YA science fiction author James Frey (I Am Number Four), is a bold swing, ready to step into the void with its horror-focused overarching plot and funky cast of characters. Just in time for Halloween, the new animated series has what it takes to be the next big thing — so long as it gets the time and attention for it all to mesh together.
2023 has been really hectic for tech enthusiasts as there have been continuous launch events happening back-to-back over August, and September and they are stretching into October too.
