No, I accidentally misspelled it here 'cause IE doesn’t have an internal spellchecker and I’m stuck using that browser at work. And it wasn’t like I had the name and it got reported–it wouldn’t let me use it, period.

Awww, you just made my male Nelf Disc Priest cry.

Oh, I got what’cha meant. I was just curious if there were workarounds for not being able to distinguish alerts by the various beeps, blorts, dings, and woobles.

As far as coordination goes, if you have the RL give all the tanks assist, you can make raid warnings. So you could each make a macro that says **/rw X stacks, taunt now!** and hit it when you’re ready. DXE and other bossmods are also generally pretty good about letting you know how many stacks of something people have. (The only time I’ve had an issue was on Algalon, where the Phase Punch seemed to be a little off.)

Wait, why is an AOE silence wussy? An AOE silence is **awesome**. \*\*And \*\*it restores Mana/Rage/Energy/Runic Power. Nelves don’t have much that would be useful to a Mage. (2% extra chance to be missed is awesome for a tank, though. Made getting my UH set that much easier.)

Cause the range is insanely small, I’m always further back from what I want to silence than that. I’m allergic to PvP so that’s not a reason to want it. I’d rather have Shadowmeld, if I didn’t have to be a NElf to get it. 😛

1. Auction: When checking my mule ( **Wollkie’s** ) current auctions, I noticed that I had listed as a buyout price 340 g’s for a 20 stack of Mage Weace Cloths, which must have been a typo on my part. Is there any way to go into the auction and correct that?

Starting price was 33 g 50 s, which according to the Auction Lite add-on was the going rate for them. I just didn’t wanna “scare” off any potential buyers with that high-buy-out\>

2.\*\* FH\*\*: Saw your post about going to brew “Dunkel-Weiss” the other day. Is that “in-game” or “real life”? When I can make it home, I drink Dunkel, Pils and Hefe-Weizen. Just curious, since there seem to be so many skills one can “learn” on WoW.

1. Can y’all tell my questions are getting a little less “dumb” and a little more “specific”?🙂

Every now and then I catch myself asking something and waiting for an answer, and then I do one of these: :smack: (can we name that a “ **jayjay** ”? Hurry back, Dude!) and tell myself I could have gone to WoWHead or Wiki. So I go there and get my answers.

Thanks

There’s no Brewing skill in WoW (although there IS in Everquest). There are a couple of beverage recipes in Cooking, I think, but no specific Brewing skill.

That’s real-life, I’m a homebrewer. 😃 Pilsner is a lager and I don’t have the equipment to make lagers (need a nice long cold fermentation), but I do make dunkel/hefe-weizens, along with other ale-type beers.

Yeah, you can’t make too many drinks in-game. There’s Kungaloosh, which is a high-level alcohol, and Captain Rumsey’s Lager, which helps with Fishing skill (!), and… I can’t remember any others.

**FH** , I LOVE Hefe-Weizen!🙂

I just had the pleasure of drinking some Winterspring Firewater, which increased **Wolkie’s** size, which came in handy with the Thistle-Yeti.  
🙂

I guess if you home-brew you have to keep your beers _below_ the store-bought proof, right?

I don’t know any women who home-brew! My Mom used to make Scuppernung Wine (sp?), but she musta left out (or put in) a step or two, because that stuff poured out like syrup and could tie your tummy in a knot right quick. Contrary to popular belief that German women are great cooks, my Mom - rest her soul - couldn’t cook worth a damn! Not even the _dogs_ would eat the left-overs, and when she made cornbread, we’d put it out for the dogs, and it was so dry that if it rained, the rainwater would actually _bead up_ on it, rather than be absorbed!😃 To be fair, she _was_ good at breakfast, rolladen and potato sald.😉

That’s so cool! Do you experiment with different flavors?

A few years ago a friend gave me a gift subscription for “The Beer of The Month Club”, and I got some very interesting-flavored beers/ales

Auction question:

If **Wolkenlaufre** needed 20 rune cloths to complete a quest, could he go to the AH and bid on them/buy them from his mule **Wollkie’s** auction or would they show up on the list?

Thanks, **FH**!🙂

For stuff like that, you can acquire it any way you like. Loot it off mobs, buy it on the AH, have an alt mail it to you, bum some off another player … it counts for the quest no matter how you get it.

I can.

Goldthorn Tea (you find it in one of the Razorthorn instances, the one on the east side of the Southern Gold Road).

Hot Apple Cider (Winter Veil recipe).

Skullfish Soup (considered a beverage - restores only mana).

Kungaloosh, as mentioned.

Captain Rumsey’s Lagar, as mentioned.

Thistle Tea - restricted to rogues.

Of those listed, only Goldthorn tea, Rumsey’s Lager, and Thistle Tea are usable by characters under level 65.

I’m not restricted on proof/alcohol content. It’s possible that in the relatively few states that still limit the alcohol content of beer, that may be true. It **is** illegal to distill hard alcohol, however.

I’ve made a mead from honey that was pretty high in alcohol content, though I don’t recall how high. It was carbonated, and tasted like a light champagne with a faint floral aftertaste. (Not perfumey-yucky, just subtle.) I also made a Belgian golden ale with honey which was up around 9% ABV (alcohol by volume).

I’ve tried a lot of beer styles that are ales - stout, brown ale, American honey wheat. My next beers in the queue are a bourbon barrel porter (ale-style porter that has oak chips soaked in bourbon added later) and a nut brown ale.

My guess about your mom’s wine efforts is that maybe she didn’t add enough water during the process. The mead I made was very light in mouthfeel/viscosity because I thinned it out with a lot of water.

Hmmm… I have a Belf paladin I have done much with, maybe I should make her a Tauren…?

Naw, haven’t the spare bucks for that. And if I did, I’d probably get one of those Panderan Monk pets instead.

A friend of mine is a homebrewer, and while he himself is male he actually learned from his mother.

As far as I know, in my state you don’t have to keep the homebrew alcohol content below that of store-bought beer… and even if you did, and exceeded the limit, you aren’t very likely to get caught anyhow.

Last night’s BDL run of Dire Maul-East went pretty smoothly and quickly. Which is unsurprising, since we had to pug a fifth member who turned out to be a level 80 spriest. My biggest problem as tank was that between losing aggro to the priest and us killing mobs so quickly, I kept running out of mana because I wasn’t getting hit enough.

Some better loot dropped for us too (I know I got [Helm of Awareness](http://www.wowhead.com/?item=18313)) as well as a bunch of herbs that sell pretty well on the AH. I think several of us leveled as well.

Next week we’ll take a stab at DM-North.

Welp, last night was a great demonstration of the unglorious side of hardcore raiding: four hours of nothing but wipes. 😃 We were going after Anub on 25-man Heroic, and while we didn’t down him, we made definite progress. I wouldn’t be surprised if we kill him next week. (We didn’t use up all of our 50 attempts, but we’ve got other content to work on, so we probably won’t be back.) The learning curve on it is absolutely insane, though–most of the other TotGC fights click into place once you’ve got your strategy down pat… but this one is on a whole 'nother level.

Tonight: Algalon 25! And it’ll be a realm-first if we down him. If I get sat for that fight… I might have to punch a puppy.

I won’t disagree–Shadowmeld is pretty awesome. And I do mostly use the Belf silence on my 19 twink Mage. Although it would make a handy “ohshit I’m OOM” button.

The only way to change an auction price is to cancel the auction and then re-post it. Canceling an auction does \*\*not \*\*refund your deposit, so if you think you’ve overpriced something, it’s generally better to let the auction expire on its own–there’s always a chance some sucker will bite. If you’ve massively underpriced something, though, you’d probably want to cancel and re-post, since you’d probably lose more money off a cheap sale than off the lost deposit.

Sprecher has a deeeeeeeelicious Hefe Weiss. (Does Sprecher make it all the way out to you?)

You don’t even have to buy out your own auction (in fact, that would cost you money, since the AH would take a cut of the sale price). Just mail the cloth back to yourself.

Yay! I’m always kind of sad that Wednesday night is a raid night for me, so I never get to come along. (Heck, I don’t even think I’ve had a chance to play the Hunter in… weeks? Months?)

Since the Wednesday night runs have been pretty successful, someone should get a regularly-sheduled level-80 run on the guild calendar. I’m not sure we can field a 10-man yet but we could either plan to run a couple of heroics the same time each week (say, ToC and the daily for example), or fill out a 10-man by pugging in the gaps.

Last night I was in a grouchy mood after a tough work day and didn’t want to do anything. Husband was in a grouchy mood trying to heal our guild’s 10-man Ony run when the whelps weren’t being picked up and were killing the healers and wiping the raid. (Dude in charge of picking them up was one of our semi-short-attention-span teenage guys, who ended up ‘taking a break from WoW’ immediately after the raid. WAG: because Modern Warfare 2 just came out.)

Husband then gets a tell from our semi-‘sister’ guild, asking for a DPS for a quick Uld10 run. He asks me. In full-on grouch mode, I tell him I’d rather heal Ony because it’ll be over with faster. His raid disagrees with the swap plan. I get soft-hearted and tell the other guild’s raid that I can go but need a hard stop in ~2 hours because I’m useless if I don’t get enough sleep. They’re fine with that. I offer my substandard (BM spec) hunter or substandard (crappy gear) warlock, and they say whichever. I bring my hunter and log in to their Vent server to find people I know, including one of their awesome hunters who’s a sweet gal. I toggle off Recount because I don’t want the embarrassment. Great players all around, most of whom I recognize.

We rip through FL, and my engineering hunter passes on the +Hit DPS trinket, but wins engineering salvage rights - including a titansteel bar! :o Go right to XT. Somehow we get XT while killing the second group of adds (I have no idea what happened there), and wipe. Reform, do it right, and XT goes down. I pass on salvage rights to the other engineer. Off to Kologarn, easy kill. Embarrassingly, I get the achievement for 50 Raid Emblems. :smack: She didn’t get to 80 all **that** long ago, but is decently geared all things considered, including a gear score over 2000 on WoWHeroes. Cat Lady - early wipe because a healer popped some kind of HOT onto the tank at the pull and got creamed, and the tank died fast somehow. Second try was clockwork.

We move to Thorim. On the way there, [Boots of Unsettled Prey](http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46346) drop off a trash mob, and I win because no one else needs them! I also notice that I’m low-ish on bullets, so I pop up my little [Jeeves](http://www.wowhead.com/?item=49040) to grab bullet mats, mats for the [Nitro Boosts](http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=55016) enhancement for the boots, and to store my loot from the salvage earlier. People take the opportunity to repair.

Thorim is still kind of mysterious to me. I sit in the Arena and kill stuff, while clustered around the middle, and people in the Gauntlet do other things. We had to wipe it twice due to deaths in the Gauntlet, but killed him the third. No one needed the [Guise of the Midgard Serpent](http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45893), so I ended up with it - and turning my helm graphic off. That thing is scary!

At this point it’s about 15 minutes from my stopping point, so we head back and do Razorscale. Easy kill.

I thank them for letting me tag along and putting up with my crummy DPS. At that point, their kick-butt pally says that actually I didn’t do bad at all, and shoots the Recount Total Damage tally into raid chat. I came in third, even beating the other hunter, who is MM-spec. :o (My actual DPS rating was lower.) I express my considerable surprise, thank them again, and say to let us know if they need help in the future.

They were a pleasure to raid with. Very focused, expect you will know WTF you’re doing, and though there is funny chatting, there is no constant babble babble babble going on from anyone.

OOOOOhhhhhhh, can’t wait! Only problem for me is that the start time is a little to early for me, but we’ll see when the time comes. I really need to start earning badges to get my gear up to a respectable level.

Slowly but surely getting closer to the Chef De Cuisine achievement. 5 more recipes to find and learn (usually looking at both Horde and Goblin AHs). The Bread of the Dead was a nice freebie a few days back.

That achievement should give you some kind of BoP super-buff recipe to make it worth the long grind and $$ you spend to get it.

> Since the Wednesday night runs have been pretty successful, someone should get a regularly-sheduled level-80 run on the guild calendar. I’m not sure we can field a 10-man yet but we could either plan to run a couple of heroics the same time each week (say, ToC and the daily for example), or fill out a 10-man by pugging in the gaps.

Once I hit 80, there should definitely be more than enough 80s in BDL to at least run 5-mans, though like you say 10-mans probably aren’t happening.

Of course, that’s provided I can find a new job again soon and don’t have to shut off WoW. ☹ Not that $15/month is a huge deal either way, and I’m gonna need at least some entertainment while job hunting.

Been there, done that. You can only look at the same want ads so many times before you start giong a little insane and need something fun to take your mind off of it. If it comes down to it, let us know–I’m sure we could swing a couple of playtime cards to keep you occupied.
