Not sure if weā€™re waiting on anything in particular, but Iā€™m sure someone can promote you to a higher level with access. Do you have an authenticator? That would make it easier. I had to decline the Fri raid again. RL plans popped up. Iā€™ve been trying to run LFR just to get either the Head or the Chest tier piece (for the 4-pc set bonus) But I end up rolling against 100 people (out of 25 which is pretty impressive!) Itā€™d be much easier if I can show up for our raids šŸ˜› ---

KA is replacing their Tuesday night raid night with ā€˜Titleā€™ Runs (9-11pm Server). Hereā€™s the post from KA: > [@](#): > > Initially, these will be what you could call ā€œTitle Hunterā€ runs - as weā€™ll be working on attaining some of the major Heroic Mode titles of Cata and WotLK that people are still missing. > > This is particularly appealing now that Account-Level Achievements and shared titles have been confirmed in the beta. For example, if I work hard to get a cool ā€œAstral Walkerā€ title now on my priest, Iā€™ll be able to use it later on my future monk. > > As for the top priorities we have in mind, there five big titles we will be chasing after initially: > > 1. DRAGONSLAYER > > Requires a Heroic Choā€™gall kill and then Sinestra. Weā€™ll skip Ascendant Council for the time being. > > 1. OF THE FOUR WINDS > > Requires a Heroic Alā€™Akir kill. Again, weā€™ll skip Conclave of Wind for the time being. > > 1. BLACKWINGā€™S BANE > > Requires a Heroic Nefarian kill. Nothing to skip here, weā€™re already 5/6 in BWD. > > 1. LIGHT OF DAWN > > Requires a 25-Man Heroic Lich King kill. Weā€™ve already taken some steps toward this one (including a Normal 25-man clear, to be able to activate Heroics). > > 1. ASTRAL WALKER > > The biggie - this requires activating and kill 25-man Algalon in Ulduar. This implies 25-man hard mode kills of Assembly of Iron, Thorim, Hodir, Freya, Mimiron (25-man Firefighter!) and then Algalon himself. Should be fun! Happy > > Then after all that, weā€™ll go back for stuff like the T11 Meta and other requests people may have. But those 5 aforementioned titles are the big ones weā€™re after. Let me know if youā€™re interested in joining, or hit up Khaal or Anzari from KA. Iā€™ll be there and I hope itā€™ll be fun to see some content I totally missed out on. ---

It seems like they want to start with th ā€œDragonslayerā€ title. Heroic Choā€™gall and Sinestra which are the videos in that thread. ---

I was hoping to make these runs, but family matters have intervened - at least for this week. ---

We went all the way through DS10 on Fridayā€¦only had a couple of wipes on Blackhorn and Spineā€¦otherwise, it was smooth sailing. Got hosed on the DK tank needing on Gurthalak thoughā€¦but Iā€™ll manage. ---

Iā€™m happy I finally got the chest piece to complete my 4-pc set. And I got enough VPs for the Valor-helm. So I took a big step up in gear. Maybe now I can start building my Balance set. ---

Iā€™d been frustrated trying to gear up my level 85 BE Hunter, Korona, since the release of the Dragon Soul dungeons. Iā€™d been running the occasional Cataclysm heroics while she finished up the remaining quests in Twilight Highlands. Since the DS patch dropped though, itā€™s become almost impossible to get a group to run any Cataclysm dungeons, and her gear level wasnā€™t high enough (level 353 required) to allow access to the DS dungeons. When I actually did get a Cataclysm group, it always seemed to drop us into one of those two Troll dungeons. I loathe those with a passion, as they (a) are SO much longer than the others, and (b) still very, very, difficult. I donā€™t think I managed to complete a single one before the group got discouraged and disbanded ā€“ often before even taking down the first boss. So I dropped some gold at the AH and bought level 377 leg and back gear to replace the level 333 items I had in those slots. The leg armor was PvP gear, so it wasnā€™t ideal, but the best I could do. That got my gear level up to exactly 353, just enough to qualify for the DS dungeons. šŸ˜ƒ I ran all three of them yesterday; hope to be able to run all three (or at least a couple) again today. Got enough additional VPs for a gear upgrade, and also a couple of quest rewards that have helped. Hopefully I can stick it out and get the gear level to the point where doing LFR is an option. ---

> [@Yeticus\_Rex](#): > > I missed the Title Hunters run last night due to moving my FIL last nightā€¦how did it go? Some progress made. Figured out the orbs pretty well, although a few people (myself included on the first wipe) still forget to move from time to time. Got pretty decent at handling the first few whelp packs and got the Spitecaller down once without his cast going off. We were refining phase 2 (splitting DPS, keeping Calen up, Spitecaller handling, etcā€¦) when one of the tanks got a hard DC and the authentication servers went down. So we ended up quitting about 30 mins early. I think another night or two and it should be down. One of those fights were everybody has to do their job just right because itā€™s very easy to wipe the raid if you mess up. ---

Yeti, can your blacksmith make any good Hunter polearms? My hunter is still carrying the non-heroic version of [Selizaā€™s Spear](http://www.wowhead.com/item=55860), which is only level 333. That polearm and one of my trinkets (Schnottzā€™s Medallion of Command - level 325) are currently the two lowest-level items sheā€™s carrying. If I can get replacements for those two items, it might take her gear level (currently 366) to the 372 needed for LFR queuing. Also, Archibishop Benedictus dropped [Dragonsmaw Blaster](http://www.wowhead.com/item=72869) last night, which was fabulous to get. This was the first level 378 ranged weapon that had dropped that actually had +AGIL instead of +STR. ---

**Runestar** , the best Polearm I can make atm is the [Witch-Hunterā€™s Harvester](http://www.wowhead.com/item=70165), I have the HEB and Chaos orbs, but you would need to get the Truegold and the Heavy Savage Leather. I will be leaving for Vegas Saturday and on to Utah for Sundayā€™s Eclipse and should be back Monday night, so I will try to check the Mailbox for your mats before I go. As for tonightā€¦I am sorryā€¦ I really screwed up on the invitesā€¦I totally forgot to add the friends onto the list this time around, PLUS Iā€™m having a hard time keeping any schedule for the last few weeks with my FILā€™s health and living arrangements not to mention a full-blown war going on with my wife and her sisters regarding their Dad. Iā€™ve been tempted to take that to The Pit, but it is quite long with many side-issues and nuances, not to mention that itā€™s still on-going and quite a raw situation, but if I had to sum it up in one line, it would be thisā€¦ _The wants and needs of 3 daughters do not supersede the right to self-determination by their fatherā€¦honor that._ ---

Was running Well of Eternity on my hunter this afternoon, and while killing the mini-clones on the ramp to the Queenā€™s chamber, the Burning Dog Legion reached Guild Level 25! Mass Ressurection is now available! Grats everyone! ---

Apparently I have the brain capacity of a concussed ferret at the moment. I carefully gather the materials Yeticalayla needs to make my hunter the [Witch-Hunterā€™s Harvester](http://www.wowhead.com/item=70165), and send him an email asking him to make the weaponā€¦ ā€¦without, of course, remembering to attach the materials to the letterā€¦ Yeti sends a polite message in return, pointing out my idiocy. After administering a dope-slap to myself, I send a second email to Yeti, this time actually remembering to attach the materials. Yeti responds again, pointing out that the recipe calls for **Heavy** Savage Leather, and what Iā€™ve sent is just regular Savage Leather. I administer a second dope-slap to myself. After obtaining the Heavy Savage Leather I send everything to Yeti. Hopefully third time will be the charm, and Iā€™ve actually sent the right materials this time. \ I ran three Dragon Soul dungeons with my hunter yesterday, and that got me enough VP that I could replace my level 325 trinket with a level 397 trinket, which got me to a gear level that let me queue for LFR. I got in a ā€œSiege of Wyrmrest Templeā€ group fairly quickly; sadly for me though they had already brought down 3 of the bosses, and were just getting ready to start the 4th and final boss. So not much chance of upgrades for me - the Hunter shoulder token dropped but I lost the roll-off for it. Now Iā€™m locked out of that LFR for another week. ā˜¹ ---
