Emblems of Frost

Emblem of Frost, the new token. This is a brief run-down for the ten-man raider in terms of accessibility.

10.251: 60/60/95/95/95 Emblems required.

When 3.3 drops, we can get 6 Emblems immediately from running through the new 5-man dungeons, starting with this quest. Handily, they're all one questline -- except the final one, which currently says on Wowhead "Repeatable", though I suspect that's just a PTR UI bug.

2 Emblems per day from the random heroic, of course.

5 per week for the weekly raid quest -- let's be honest, this is going to be hilarious. Either you get Marrowgar, whom you will kill as a matter of course for the sake of progression anyway, or you get to kill a boss from a previous tier of instance, which, unless you still wish to clear ToGC10 (which you may still want to do), will mean nothing more than steamrolling that boss with 1-3 tiers' worth of outgearing. A nice easy warm-up to a Wednesday progression night if ever there were one.

8 Emblems per week (initially) from the first wing (four bosses) of ICC. This will be the case for anything between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on Blizzard's final decision regarding gating.

4 Emblems per week (And, presumably, a shot at the pinata for Tier 10 gloves or legs!) from Toravon the Ice Watcher on 10 and 25-player [pending Season 8 release]. Fight mechanics can sort-of be seen here, though I want to strangle that Mage for having no raid frames at all. It's like Koralon, except the flame patches (Ice patches, in this case) come alive; and, instead of Meteor Fists, Toravon will just do a knockback on the tank, so tanking him up against a wall seems to be the standard.

So, 6 emblems to start you off, plus 14 + 5 + 8 per week for the first three weeks or so (until a new wing of ICC and VoA comes out)
Week 1: 33 Emblems
Week 2: 60 Emblems
Week 3: 87 Emblems. [Potentially +4, since Toravon might be released here]
Week 4: Yay, I pick up some Tier 10. \o/

My shopping list priority, if you're curious, goes Helm --> Chest --> Shoulders --> Gloves. After that, I'll be saving up all my EoF for Primordial Saronite, my priority there being Legs --> Boots.

Total EoF shopping list cost: 95 + 95 + 60 + 60 + (23 * 8) + (23 * 5) = 609.

I can see my Death Knight's EoF contributing to the Primordial Saronite costs to speed things up significantly.

In completely unrelated news I had four glasses of wine with dinner and woke up about an hour ago hungover.
