That's correct - only the shoulders require above friendly. I have LFR 
shoulders, so not worth it.

Fair point. I was able to get into SoO at 495, which surprised me. I'm now
at 501.

I'm a little confused about the Celestials - how many times can I do them
a day/week? The other day I took one down, and got a good drop. The group
immediately did a second one, and I got nada, zilch, not even gold.

I think the drop rate on the chests may have been nerfed - I've dropped at
least 60k without seeing a Burden - outright buying them might be better.

I've been going for the Ordo trash, just for the rep. I'll have to try the
frogs.

Now that I have two 90s, maxing VPs on one becomes more urgent. My main 
finally has the T16 2 item buff, which is nice.
