We have got to keep Wolkie out of Booty Bay!
Little Mommy-Frigger loses his footing and winds up “in the drink” every time we go there, and then has to swim and swim and swim till he finds a ledge that’ll take him up.
Hope there ain’t nobody watchin’ us when that happens!:o
There’s ONE quest to turn in in there (somebody’s bottle), but since I’m this close to levellin’ to 43?
I’m gonna take the next bird to Marshmallow Marsh and just grind a while! 
Thanks!

Yeah, this is correct. Thunderclap and Demoralizing Shout have medium-sized areas of effect that, sure, could affect something you weren’t already directly in combat with. However, unless you are fighting enemies that are much lower level than you are, by the time they’re close enough to be hit by your Shout, they’re already going to see you and react to your mere presence.
The only time you have to be careful with them is if you’re fighting in close proximity to neutral enemies. Enemies with a yellow name are not immediately hostile to you and will not attack on sight, only if you hit them first, and the Shouts count as an attack. Usually the only neutrals you encounter are non-carnivorous wildlife, and there’s increasingly less of that as you go up in level, but there are notable exceptions where maintaining a low profile is important, such as the bar of drunken dwarves in Blackrock Depths. Accidentally starting a barfight is…not recommended.
Now that’s a look - currently my belf is wearing a red robe, purple wizard type hat and blue shoulders. He looks ridiculous. Tonight I am hitting the AH to get some upgrades that will hopefully look better.
Deliver to MacKinley I take it? You’ll get some nice plate boots for handing that in. When you get off the boat at Booty Bay go straight until you get to the first ramp then go up it to the set of houses on the higher level. When you see a shark hanging outside a house you are there, this picture shows where he is quite clearly: MacKinley.
How did the run go? I hear it is easy to get lost.
Ours was postponed when we were advised to get this quest first The God Hakkar so we spent last night mostly travelling to do the quest prerequisites.
My male BElf tankadin is wearing a chestpiece that exposes his midriff. Talk about ridiculous! 
It went well. I always get in lost in there, so I printed out directions which made it a lot easier. Next week will go even faster.
We had a group of my tankadin, two priests (Shadow and Holy), a hunter, and another pally. The other pally was level 80 but is a guildie who wanted the achievement, so we made him go bare-knuckled just to make it more fair (we weren’t looking for a runthrough). We never really had any trouble inside the instance; I think I died once and we never wiped.
No one had the God Hakkar quest, so we didn’t get to summon that boss, but we took down all the rest. I’m just mad that the shield I want didn’t drop!
We’ll run it again next week and it will be faster since I know my way around now. If anyone on Cairne wants to join us let me know.
I use several /castsequence macros, for example for “preparation spells.” My mage has one that’s (off the top of my head):
int buff, damage shield, food, food, food (her food gives mana as well as hp)
The priest has one for the prayers and another one for the individual buffs; the one with the prayers has the shadow prot first (it’s the shortest lasting one), the one for solo has shadow last and includes a self-only-buff.
That frees up buttons quite nicely.
Speaking as a dwarf, you had the last word by the time you said “male BElf” Those guys have a serious bad case of fused-together hip.
Closest we came to a wipe was on the way into the instance, when the hunter accidentally clicked on a flagged level-80 ally, who then came back again and wiped out the holy priest after he res’d.
Pity about the shield but grats anyway - out of interest where did you get your directions from?
Oh, yes, that’s a great look on your draenei, Mister Rik. My 79 hunter is all decked out in the snazzy shades-of-black Northrend gear and her spear has a spooky red aura around it thanks to the Greater Savagery enchant I had put on it. She looks as scary as my DK now.
My belf warlock, however, is starting to look like she’s cold. I need to find that girl a robe. The Clan of the Cave Elves look was fun for a while, though.
Quasi, I still fall in the water sometimes. I took involuntary swims on Booty Bay so many times.
I knew I’d been in Stranglethorn too long when I started to know my way around Booty Bay.
I don’t know about you guys but I am sick and tired of going to Booty Bay to turn in quests, hit the bank or throw up some stuff on the AH only to find the **whole town **slaughtered. They really need to make the non guard NPCs immune to attacks.
Tried talking to my playmate last night about ending his subscription and he is still dead set on quitiing WoW. WTB NEW QUESTBUDDY!
Yeah, I hear you. I like Achievements and titles as much as the next player, but it’s at the point where I automatically think “jerk!” when I see the “Bloodsail Admiral” title over someone’s head. Probably unfair to use such a broad brush, but trying to level alts and doing quests in Stranglethorn became painful after a while.
1.) Buy up all the massively underpriced ore, smelt it, and vendor it. Voila–profit at the expense of morons!
2.) Saronite Ore is prospectable, yeah? You might want to look into if it would be more worth your while to have a JC friend pull gems out than to smelt and vendor your stockpile.
Nice work on pulling! You definitely want to be fighting mobs away from other baddies, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be directly on top of the last one you killed. Usually what I’d do at your level is pick a safe distance that was within range of my ranged weapon, pull the mobs one at a time, then move foward to the next group and repeat.
Besides your standard quick bar, you can add one more on the bottom left, one on the bottom right, and two vertical ones along the right-hand side of your screen. I generally have all of mine active, although I don’t use every single slot. (I put some spacing in to make things easier to find.)
Defensive Stance will use the same action bars, EXCEPT for your quick bar (the one with 1, 2, 3, etc. on it). That bar will swap out when you change stances. Amberale is right about not using Defensive Stance–you should be fighting in Battle Stance. Defensive Stance would be for if you wanted to tank something, or if a pull got screwed up and you ended up with a bunch of guys hammering on you.
(Personally, Sleutel stays in Defensive Stance most of the time that she’s out and about in the world in her Protection spec and tanking gear, but that’s because she has the talents that make it better for her. When she’s in her Arms spec and DPS gear, she stays in Battle Stance.)
Unless you’re having a lot of problems killing things, just remember it for next time. Having “bad” stats doesn’t hurt you, per se–it just makes you not as strong as you could be, so you kill things slower.
I thought only the guards gave the best rep, anyway?
I just followed the directions on Wowwiki.com (it’s blocked at work or I’d link to it). There was only one or two spots where the directions were not quite clear, but it didn’t take long to figure it out.
Quasi, here’s a screenshot of my UI from earlier this year so you can see where the other action bars show up. You can see extra icons along the bottom (above my quickbar) and then more icons along the right-hand side of the screen.
On an unrelated note, I found this when I was looking for the screenshot link. Someone posted it in my guild’s forum after finding it on the official WoW ones:
SFG, that is hilarious!
I’ve been enjoying the Hyldnir and Sons of Hodir stuff immensely. My favorite part has been where you, disguised as a stacked blue giant gal with icicles hanging off her helmet-horns, ride a drake around and around, fighting similar blue giantesses. You jump onto their drakes and knock them off. Now, as a hunter, I’m not so melee-inclined, but what I did was put my two melee abilities (Raptor Strike and Mongoose Bite) on my numbered action bar, and alternate between them till I knocked my opponent off the drake. That was so much fun, I wish it were a daily.
God, I loved that!
The Sons of Hodir one with the drake, not so much.
Which one? The one where you have to rescue the prisoners and the drakes and the Sons of Hodir keep shooting at you?
