A good night for me. Upgraded my neck piece, got my War Mammoth, made progress towards getting my helm for Triumph emblems. Lost a roll on Reins of the Ebon Drake in heroic Stratholme–first time I’ve seen a mount drop.
Are there dungeons/heorics that give Wyrmrest rep? I want their dragon mount, too…
To get Wyrmrest rep, buy their tabard and wear it; any rep you get in level 80 dungeons or heroics will then be used for Wyrmrest. There’s also three dailies, two in Borean and one at the Temple.
Did Battle of Undercity with my pally last night. I was kind of lucky, since someone had already started it when I got there and they were already fighting down in the outer ring when I arrived so I missed about half the event. Then, the other guy and I talked back and forth while we waited for it to be over (it was his fourth toon to do it; my third). So it could have been worse. Six pieces of leg gear to choose from and none of it healing plate :-(. But my Horde Expedition rep got high enough to buy Warsong Stormshield and someone was nice enough to leave some Bindings of Construct in the guild vault, so at least I got a few upgrades last night.
I missed the last three days of work with walking pneumonia, but at least I got quite a bit of WoW time in even with a raging fever
No way would I ever change their looks now, but why did Blizzard give our toons such funny-looking faces?
“Because they’re toons, Quasi!”, you’re saying to yourselves.
I was just wondering because I took a look in Game Informer today and saw some ads for games in which the characters looked much more human in their faces.
As I wrote, I wouldn’t change Wolkie’s looks for anything, but I was just curious.
Rolled me up a tauren druid today (yah, trying the druid thing yet again… I’m thinking I’ll try Feral this time…) and I fell back on my “look around at products on my desk” character-naming method. His name is Duracelt, and I’ve leveled him all the way to 12 in one day.
In the starting area, I was shocked - shocked I say, to look around and see druid after druid after druid. And one warrior. Every other baby tauren in sight was a druid.
Bloodhoof Village: Curse you, Blizzard! Curse you for giving me one inadequate bag and then designing a quest hub where every single quest requires collecting multiple items! Now ten of my bag slots are filled with incomplete stacks of quest items, one slot has my hearthstone, and two slots hold my food and drink. Leaving me with three slots for stuff I can sell to earn coins. Boo! I resorted to deleting my level 8 belf paladin after selling all his stuff and mailing the resulting silver and copper to this druid, along with a six-slot bag he had. And his shirt. My tauren druid is now rocking a belf paladin Initiate’s Shirt.
And now … now I’ve been camping Arra’chea’s spawn point for [del]20[/del] 30 minutes. I think that draenei I saw must have killed him last time he spawned.
Arra’chea follows a looping path between the marked standing stone near Red Rocks and the Wildmane (I think) well, north of Thunder Bluff, with the north and south limits being the north border mountains of the zone and that small ridge that runs east of whatever the northeastern Rise is. Usually running around in a circle between those points (best going counterclockwise to intercept him) will find him.
Played way too much WoW today, but had an awesome run. Got my Helm, upgraded boots, enchanted helm and shoulders, killed Scourgelord Tyrannus, who dropped my new staff, and got a new mount from Heroic Stratholme. Thing I’m almost at the hit cap, and maybe close to hast cap. Guy I grouped with said I’m rocking a gear score of 4302 now. Next slot upgrade is prolly gonna be my chest…
Oh yeah, I’ve hunted him down a few times before. I just decided to spawn camp him this time because even at level 12 I still manage to aggro every level 7 wolf and cougar in the vicinity and I was getting tired of having to stop and deal with them over and over while riding around the Golden Plains. I did finally give up on the camping, though, and went looking for him. I did track him down eventually.
Now Duracelt is at The Crossroads, gathering Plainstrider Beaks and Raptor Heads
Woo! Been busy this week and not played too much, but my lvl 70 Nelf Hunter got a port to Dal (he’s the one I’ve been waiting for friends to come back to the game before I go into Northrend - I don’t consider Dal to count!). Got my Working Day and Night achievement with Skinning, Mining and First Aid. I’m on Ysera though and man, everything goes lower on the AH there. Having a hard time gathering and selling for anything right now.
A friend lent me Arthas: Rise of the Lich King. Now I’m thinking: play WoW, read book. Play WoW, read book…
Edit: Oh, and I tamed Bjarn because I wanted a tanking pet and HEY POLAR BEAR. I named him Welcome!
Ah yes. Look around, and you will see many casters sporting that staff. It sure makes the hit cap thing a lot easier.
Myself, I’ve been running my late-30s BElf Warlock around the Badlands, because it’s the one (Horde) area I haven’t quested through at-level, and I must say, it isn’t worth the effort. Maybe I’m just jaded with the whole World of Warcraft questing/leveling game, but the Horde Badlands quests are a pretty lifeless set of quest chains so far.
It doesn’t help that about 80% of the quests you can get in Kargath are for Blackrock Mountain. And 50% of the rest of them that involve the Badlands generally are for Uldaman. That’s easily one of the most instance-centered zones in the game, even if one of the instances isn’t even in that zone.
Yeah, aside from the [del]cloth vendors[/del] ogres, there’s not a whole lot going on in that zone. Though that black dragon chain is kind of interesting. And there’s that gnome with his little robot …
Is this a BDL alt? If so there are a bunch of bags in the guild vault, including at least four Frostweaves the last time I checked.
On another note: my holy pally dinged 79 tonight, just as I finished Dragonspire or whatever that zone is called. I decided to head to Sholazar to for the final sprint to 80 for the skinning. Then let the emblem grind begin!
Ok, I’ve played warriors, druids, and hunters. For a change of pace I rolled a rouge, and something just baffles me: How the hell do I learn how turn and run around like the rouges that always kicked my ass? I try the keyboard and the mouse but I must be the lamest PvP rouge out there, you’d think I was on crutches or in a wheelchair. WTF do I need to do?
Mouse, and the reason they look so flippy doing it is that many of them are jumping while turning. You may also be getting confused by some talent-learned skills which make the rogue jump around a lot: it’s a toon skill, not a player skill.
Damned annoying quest design in Grizzly Hills which didn’t affect me on my pally but was a huge pain on my warlock. You group up with Bud to capture an ice troll however it doesn’t tell you you’ll lose your pet in the process and a demonology warlock losing their pet is a big deal. I died twice to wolves on the way then about 3 times in the camp trying to get a troll without aggro-ing anything else.
Thanks SFG very handy I’m going to give this a go tonight. Does the addon have a way of seeing prices over time easily? Let’s say I want to know when is the best day to post fish feasts or titansteel bars so I’d like a graph of price against date over a couple of weeks.
