Burden of Eternity and how to get one

Have you visited Timeless Isle? If you have, you probably have too many purple items already. If you have no use for the 496 items, they can be upgraded with a Burden of Eternity. The burdens are a rare drop from chests and creatures on the island, using them on any timeless token besides the trinket will yield a randomly rolled 535 iLvl item for that slot. They are also sold for 50k timeless coins from Mistweaver Ai. There are two guaranteed Burdens that you can pick up, one is pretty easy to get. It comes from the Blazing Chest, a rare chest you can only loot once per character.

The chest is located in the Ordon Sanctuary. There's a few ways to get to it.

Hearthstone Achievements for Gold

Patch 5.4 arrives tomorrow, but today I wanted to talk about Hearthstone.
If you're in the beta, you'll know that buying packs of cards and doing arena costs money or gold. 
Each pack of five cards is 100 gold, and each arena entry is 150 gold.
You get five gold every time you win 5 matches in ranked or unranked play. If you intend to never spend any real money, it's going to take awhile to get that gold.
There are dailies you can do which reward you with gold. The dailies are usually quests that involve winning x amount of duels with y class, they give you 40-60 gold when completed.

There are a few achievements that award you with a lot of gold. They are:

Got the Basics - 100 Gold for getting each hero to level 10.
Crush Them All - 100 Gold for beating each Expert Hero deck in practice mode.
Chicken Dinner - 300 Gold for winning 100 times, can be practice, arena or play mode wins.

That's all I've got so far, I believe there's an achievement for 1000 wins, not sure if that awards gold, anyone know?

Mantid Artifact Sonic Locator

As of 5.4 this is no longer working.

The Mantid Artifact Sonic Locator was introduced in 5.1, provided that you are exalted with the Lorewalkers, one Restored Artifact will get you a locator, good for one day. Having this in your inventory turns all digsites in Pandaria into Mantid dig sites. This is useful for getting Mantid Sky Reaver and Sonic Pulse Generator, excellent weapons for leveling your alts. Beyond this, there is another use that may or may not be intended. By having this item in your backpack, you can reset the dig sites in Tol'vir by zoning in and out. This is huge for completing your Tol'vir artifacts. Sometimes it might take a few zone in and outs to get it to work, but it'll save you a lot of time over having to fly all over Kalimdor hoping a Tol'vir dig site will pop next. Go solve those artifacts and get your Crawling Claw and Scepter of Azj'Aqir! This is also where you can learn Recipe:Vial of the Sands, but you need to be an alchemist.

Pet Battling for Lesser Charms of Good Fortune

Hate doing dailies but don't want to miss out on your 3 weekly Mogu Runes of Fate? Patch 5.2 brought a new way to obtain lesser charms in the form of pet battles. As long as you're max level, winning a pet battle of the appropriate level will give you a chance to earn some lesser charms. I've seen anywhere from 2-6 charms for a win. I'm also not sure what is the "appropriate level", forums have suggested within 5 levels of the pets you battle with. I've received charms from all the continents, but Pandaria seems to yield charms most often. I've found Amber Moth and Landro's Lil' XT to be good for taking out teams quickly. What are you favorite pets for quick battles?
