净化斯坦索姆鬼脚蟹资深历史学家伊夫琳娜布琳妮普克利亚的诡异印戒Wowhead Staff

艾尤的迷思指环: This item is named after Aryu, a Wowhead developer! Aryu raided in Ensidia before starting at Wowhead in 2011. He handles all of the data for Wowhead, including datamining at 3 am, presenting Blizzard's data in more user-friendly ways, and adjusting the database to handle unannounced data changes on Blizzard's end so our tools keep working. The flavor text refers to the constant process of datamining and discovering data changes.

阿什莉娅的精美腰带: Ashelia became the site director for Wowhead in 2011! Under her guidance, the Transmog Sets database and Guides were launched, as well as user-favorite contests like the database scavenger hunts. She was also instrumental in growing our News section to cover more beta/PTR coverage and datamining changes. Ashelia also helped acquire LolKing--she spends most of her time there now, but you may catch her on Wowhead/Hearthhead setting up contests or helping with news!

艾洛鲁斯的账本: This item is named after Erorus, who developed The Undermine Journal and Realm Pop before starting work at Wowhead in 2013. The flavor text on the item refers to The Undermine Journal, which tracks all auctions. Erorus is behind many features at Wowhead, including the Garrison Calculator, Battle Pet Team Calculator, Character Planner, Blue Tweet Tracker, and Sounds Database.

杰拉克的顽强壁垒: This item is named after Jerek, a Wowhead developer and designer! Jerek has been part of our battle pet and guides revamp, as well as developing Hearthhead Decks and the Deck Builder. The item is most likely a shield as his favorite character is a Warrior.

诺克夏的束缚: Noxy is the site artist for Wowhead! She does the adorable logos, contest art, and holiday graphics on the site, which you can browse here. She also creates name badges for every BlizzCon, drawing likenesses of WoW players and Blizzard staff. You can check out her 2014 badges here. This year her open slots sold out in just a few days! Noxy also has the related Garrison followers 诺克夏·艾顿 / 左修士, 布兰恩·斯考恩 / 赞塔奇, and 萨拉·斯克纳 / 赞特比.

I received a BoE ring in Pandaria, 普克利亚的诡异印戒, as well as 裘赛的焦火毁灭斗篷, which sounds like my last name, from Highmaul trash which is a nice counterpart to 基尔的华丽披风.

Olivia, now working at Wowhead, received several references during her time as WoW Insider’s PvP and add-on columnist, as well as host of Legendary at Gamebreaker TV. 奥利维亚的优雅凝视 has a PvP model instead of an expected PvE one, and she also has the amusing object 欠条, which references a running joke on twitter that Olivia would bake the devs one million cookies each if they implemented cross-realm arenas.

博学者斯克希里斯: Skosiris is the co-founder of Wowhead and as such runs the "organized and clearly labeled" library in Shattrath that makes "the grand libraries of Silvermoon City pale in comparison," according to his in-game dialogue. Each bookcase in the library serves as a different profession trainer.

Blizzard EmployeesAlex "Furor" Afrasiabi

The 艾兹拉·格里姆 encounter in 斯坦索姆 is filled with references. The former quest The Great Ezra Grimm used to send players to explore the old cigar shop, which was revised in Cataclysm to be 了不起的艾兹拉·格里姆. Players can open a mailbox near his shop with Fras Siabi's Postbox Key, read about his shop in 艾兹拉·格里姆的广告, and kill him for 格里姆的优质香烟. A live version of him, 艾兹拉·格里姆, can be found in 净化斯坦索姆.

Players who wanted to obtain the original 奎尔塞拉 had to first get 诺斯特罗的屠龙技术纲要 from Dire Maul.

Foror and Tigole as a pair are found in the Children's Week delicacy 提古勒的草莓冰激凌 and the AV item 提古勒的签名照. The original Zul'Gurub also had 蜥蜴鳞片眼罩 and 提古勒的鱼叉 as drops.

When talking to Brazie, he has interesting dialogue options hinting at creepy and non-legal wares he has to sell (possibly the unused item Brazie's Gnomish Pleasure Device?).

军需官布雷泽 is the Alliance quartermaster for Tol Barad.

Ben Brode

失落之书 may reference several songs in the flavor text, but "The Brode to Nowhere" also references Senior Game Designer for Hearthstone Ben Brode.

本杰明·布罗德 wanders around your Garrison sounding very excited and cheerful. He sells the Hearthstone-themed toys 炉石游戏盘 and 胜利之手. He wears a red checkered shirt similar to his Hearthstone Credits card and he tries to blend in with the Horde Garrison by wearing a cartoonish Orc mask—but he’s not fooling anyone.

提巴尔的聚焦水晶: Senior Community Rep Zarhym was originally known as Timbal on the WoW forums. Many players name their 魅影精灵 battle pet after Zarhym since it closely resembles his forum avatar, and 完整的扎西姆 is the most recent tribute to him on the Timeless Isle.

克莱基尔的废铁板: Crygil was one of the forum Community Managers from Wrath. When asked about why he discarded the item, he responsed on the forums "Fel-Reavers can't read. I didn't discard it, it was stolen from me while I slept."

戴希克: Drysc, now known as Bashiok, is well-known to forum goers from his Diablo III and Warcraft posts. His NPC is a neophyte Shaman seeking instruction in the Exodar. He also got another NPC named after him, this time it's 巴肖克 who drops a dancing tree, the 巴肖克之魂. The NPC resembles his forum avatar, which is a tree from Felwood.

克里希托: This perky pug is the Gamon of Stormwind--although he wears a variety of fashionable hats, he'll attack you. When killed, he drops 闲置的宠物项圈. Crithto's avatar on the WoW forums is a Perky Pug, and CM Crithto is an avid pet-battler, writing the weekly Major Payne blog. The pugs with fashionable hats have also been seen in 一箱被诱拐的小狗.

纳迪娜·星晶 sells Flexible Tier 16 armor in between watching Hearthstone games! This NPC is named after Zeriyah, who is a Community Manager for Hearthstone. The "stargem" refers to her mana crystal avatar used on the Blizzard forums and Nadina references one of her WoW characters.

克莉丝蒂·斯多克顿's wine shop selling items like 一桶陈年达拉然红葡萄酒 also fits in well with his interest in fine drinks, documented on Twitter.

姆帕 is one of the NPCs fighting in Tanaan Jungle.

考里格·斯托克顿 is the bartender at the Spires of Arak Inn for the Alliance. You save him from being poisoned, and then he sends you on a quest which rewards 神奇的啤酒桶.

Dave "Fargo" Kosak

格莱维: One of the main characters in Flintlocke vs The Horde, currently serving as a bartender in Orgrimmar.

法戈·弗林特洛克 sends Alliance players to Twilight Highlands, which is an odd choice after he's nuked Stormwind in a previous installment of Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth.

洛克塔尔 sends Horde players to Twilight Highlands and is the main character of the follow-up series Flintlocke vs. The Horde.

Flintlocke has a number of items named after him, such as 弗林特洛克的冲击枪 which looks like a melee weapon and fits with Flintlocke's combat style. 弗林特洛克的冲击枪 has been added in WoD.

弗林特洛克的土拨鼠瞄准镜 references his signature "Chuck-Shot" which was made with blasting powder and an angry woodchuck. This enchant makes your ranged weapon periodically spit out a critter.

弗林特洛克的射枪: When looting corpses, Flintlocke also had to remember to pick up the Chuck-Shot dislodged in his enemies. It was quite dirty, leading to the flavor text "This weapon has clearly never been cleaned. Ever."

弗林特洛克的飞行裤: References Flintlocke's debatable skills in flying a "diridgerdabler-able... diriger-jib-gibjer-lobbler... BLIMP" which eventually crashes.
