Time Grows Short

I'll keep track of the cinders I see in our 10 man raid here in case Wowhead continues to not differentiate between difficulties and raid sizes :) Thus this post may be updated between Tuesday and Thursday with new numbers each week. Yay stats.

Week 3 our "staff-getter" was unable to show up one day, hence dashes...
Week 5 our "staff-getter" had some drama and decided not to show up. You guessed it....dashes...
Week 7 the numbers became not accurate to the progress values, which are accurate. How odd... It's possible that "staff-getter 1" went into the alt raid on Week 5 whereupon he net 36 cinders (18 + 18) which evens out the values.
Week 8 "Staff-getter 1" was unable to siphon Essences from Alysrazor and Majordomo. Very interesting...
Week 9 Achievements week, last week of maintaining updates to cinder drop counts. I believe we have successfully established the correct values for the ranges :)

A word of warning about race and/or faction changing with this quest active. When you pay Blizzard for that service you also get a complimentary quest log wipe as part of the process.

If you go through with it you will have this quest removed from your log. Every [item=69815] you had collected thus far will still be in your possession, but you must go and re-accept the quest from [npc=53210]. Failure to re-accept the quest means when you're in for a boss you won't have any cinders drop. Sour! So heads up, I'd recommend against big changes like this on the collect parts of this quest.
