Hey guys…I got very lucky from the Bag of Fishing Treasures and got a Brilliant Stormjewel. I would like to trade for a Bold Stormjewel or equivalent. Also, I’ve been stockpiling some jewels that I’ve been mining from Saronite and Titanium nodes. Who are our GO TO guildies that can help me tweak as much strength for my empty sockets?
In the Burning Dog Legion, Jarryn has been the main JC. I hadn’t seen J online for a while, but he was on last night, so you might want to send an in-game message. My pally is a JC also, but very low-level.
Got Northrend Loremaster a week ago, then finished up Eastern Kingdoms a couple of days ago, and now I’m about 80 quests from Kalimdor Loremaster! After that, I only have a little over 200 Outland quests to go for the meta, the title, and the ugly-ugly-ugly tabard.
Coming up on Seeker, too–probably 50 or 60 quests to go there.
And I’m getting close to Exalted with Cenarion Circle–I already have Expedition, so that will be my Guardian of Cenarius.
All in all, a productive holiday weekend. 
Ugh. I hate, hate, hate ignore, and I reserve it only for people who spam or people in pick-up groups who were so bad that I never want to have anything to do with them ever again. 
Probably a stupid question, but you’ve already done all of the starting zone quests for all of the factions, right?
As far as Runecloth farming, two other good locations are Stratholme (instance in Eastern Plaguelands) and an area of Hellfire Peninsula in Outland that’s called the something or other Armory, IIRC. It’s in the middle of the southern edge, and it’s full of Human ghosts. Nice respawn rate, good cloth drops, and there are spots where they’re just lined up in a row, waiting to be mown down like so many leaves of grass.
Note that you do not bind skills/spells per se, you bind actionbar slots.
They don’t need to be unkillable–they just need to bump the damn flight masters up already. Killing a 65 Elite at 80, even one with adds, is trivial.
For the jousting that you do at the Tourney grounds, you do not get group credit, nor can a group member joust the same target as you. However, people on the ground may attack the target you are jousting with using their normal attacks.
You might be able to find a gaming center with WoW computers. It would probably be on the pricy side, though. Don’t forget that it won’t be a total loss, though–Wolkie will be getting rested XP while you’re logged off, if you leave him in an inn or a capital city. (Basically, anywhere that the level number in his portrait changes to “ZZZ.”) You get one “bubble” of rest XP for every eight hours you rest, so a week of rest would be 21 bubbles–that’s more than a level!
When your character works through rested XP, everything they kill gives **double **experience. (Note that this only applies to kills and not to quest turn-ins.)
This is my favorite typo of the past weekend.
I know exactly which books you’re talking about–I own one of 'em. One caveat, though–the information can be very outdated. WoW constantly evolves, so something that was accurate at the time the book was published isn’t necessarily going to be true now.
Personally, I put in the nctio.
If you need run-throughs, the best thing to get them, assuming you don’t have a friend online, is to offer to pay. Ask in Trade chat in a capital city (you should be able to type in trade by starting with /2, so you’d say something like, /2 Is any level 80 available to help me with XYZ? Paying ## gold). You probably want to offer something in the range of 50g to 100g.
If no vendor will take it, it’s probably a quest item. If you’ve completed the quest and it’s left over, you can delete it. (Pick it up, drag it outside your bag, and click again, then confirm the deletion.) If you’re not sure, look the item up on Wowhead. It will tell you what it’s used for.
There are actually a couple of ways to whisper someone. As you know, you can use the button to whisper people on your friends list. You can also right-click their portrait if you have them targeted, then select “Whisper.”
As **Bosstone **mentioned, you can manually whisper them by typing /w or **/whisper **and then their name, and then your message.
To reply to a whisper, hit R. This will pop up a whisper to the last person who whispered you, and you can hit **Tab **to cycle through other names of people who whispered you. If you want to send another whisper to someone who you already whispered, but who hasn’t whispered you back, hit Shift+R. Again, **Tab **will cycle through names.
Herbalism will also lead to a tiny orgasm of glee the first time you step into Freya’s room in Ulduar, when you realize that it’s full of Northrend herbs… including Frost Lotus nodes. Many of the mobs are also herb-skinnable, even if they mostly drop trash.
Nope, not cheating–just good sense.
Not that I know of. Blizzard will throw up “losing aggro” and “changed target” warnings, but it doesn’t get more specific than that. Being a Warrior who started tanking before our AoE threat got a big buff in late TBC, I’m already used to cycling targets to keep threat up, so I just have target-of-target enabled in nameplates and keep an eye on mobs that way. Also, it doesn’t do you any good with melee DPS, but if your healers and ranged DPS are standing out of the way like they’re supposed to, it’s generally pretty easy to spot any mobs they’ve pulled that are heading towards 'em.
The last ones I have are for the dwarves, and I’m finishing those up now. I’ve run Scholomance twice this weekend. Once for fun and the second time I ran someone through. I got a heap of runecloth, among other things, both times. I’ve also done Tyr’s Hand for the cloth, and am going to venture to the Armory to bust the ghosts for their cloth in a day or so. I picked up a bunch of Stratholme quests, so I’m going to go there in the next few days, too.
Except raw ore prospects into gems, which makes it desirable for many jewelcrafters; titanium ore can give epic gems, while saronite ore can give blue quality. It may not be as profitable as herbs, but if you really want to make money, skip crafting, take herbalism and mining, and sell the raw materials.
Is it the Black Dragonflight Molt? If so, you picked it up in the Searing Gorge. You take it to a black dragonkin NPC over at the northeast end of the Burning Steppes, and he turns it into the Altered Black Dragonflight Molt. You can’t talk to that character until you’re level 52 or so.
In any case, the Altered Black Dragonflight Molt is then used after you’ve killed a particular boss in Blackrock Depths, which is an instance/dungeon. I don’t know if you’re doing those or not. If you’re not going to do Blackrock Depths, you can just toss the thing (or save it in case you want to do it later).
I don’t think Quasi is high enough level to have done that quest yet. Closer to a level 50 thing.
Ah well, it was the only thing I could think of. He said “dragon patch”, and the flavor text on the Black Dragonflight Molt says, “A dull and gray patch of black dragon skin”.
The bitch of combining Herbalism and Mining is that you can only have **one **type of tracking active at any given time. So, you can track Herbs, or you can track Ore, but you can’t track both at once. I tried it on a DK farmer (my one on Cairne, actually), and I gave up after not that long. It was just too frustrating to constantly swap back and forth between the two types of tracking.
If you’ve got a decent node database build up through Gatherer or a similar addon, it might be slightly easier, since you could at least throw up the HUD that would show where nodes could be expected to spawn. But you’d still have to run right up to one you’re not actively tracking to see whether or not it’s up.
Yeah, that’s why Mining or Herbalism and Skinning is the smoothest way to go. Leather doesn’t bring in a lot, but the sheer quantity of leather makes up for it. Not only is it easy to get when you’re questing in places like Stranglethorn and Un’Goro, but non-Skinners leave their corpses behind. It’s like free money.
What run-throughs are you talking about? I’ve never seen anyone offering 100G on my server (Khaz Modan). The low-level dungeons are usually 5-15 gold, and the mid-range ones 25 or 30.
Hey, I finally got around to making a gallery on Facebook of my Burning Dog Legion toons:
(You should be able to view that link without needing a Facebook account.)
How many **takers **do those people actually get? I always offer 50g, minimum, because these days an 80 can make gold about as easily as breathing. A daily that takes five minutes gets you 13g. A dungeon run, on the other hand, especially for someone in their 40s or 50s, requires a lot more time and effort. Running someone else isn’t even as easy as soloing, because you have to worry about keeping mobs off the lowbie while they stay close enough to get kill and loot credit.
Note that for these runs, the person buying the runthrough gets to keep all the drops, and will almost certainly make a good portion of that money back.
ETA: And I wasn’t sure if **Quasi **wanted a dungeon run, or if he wanted someone to come help him quest. I think 100g would be a fair rate to “hire” an 80 to come run around with him for a couple of hours.
Rik - nice pics. Facebook is a good idea, I’ve been wondering how to share pics of my toons - especially Kene in his new Chef’s outfit: black pants, white shirt, Chef’s Hat. I would like to be all in white, but couldn’t find any white pants. Anyone know of any?
Ah, folks? Quasi wasn’t asking for a dungeon run.
Quasi, it might be best if you didn’t put your question in the Title. It doesn’t get quoted when someone clicks Quote on your post and it’s very easy for people to skip over it accidentally. I had to go back and manually copy the question to put it in the quote above.
A while back I surprised a blacksmith by paying him 50g for opening a dozen lockboxes for me. These were high-level lockboxes (Thorium, etc) that I’d collected over a stretch of time, and they’d all been taking up space in my bank for way too long.
I paid the amount I did mostly out of gratitude - I’d advertised on several other occasions for somebody to pop the boxes for me, with no luck. I probably wouldn’t have paid a rogue as much, though, since the rogue could just pick the locks. The blacksmith had to use keys, so I figured I’d reimburse him for his materials as well as his time.
It also seems like they’ll be putting in high-level leatherworking items for things like drums and whatnot, so there may be more interest in skinning at the high-end from those.
Are you in a guild, Rik? The rogues in my guild won’t even accept tips from guildies - just as I don’t charge guildies for enchants or tailoring if they provide the mats.
That’s the whole purpose of a guild - you take care of them and they take care of you. I can’t remember the last time I paid someone to open a lockbox.
-
Yeah, SFG I was just asking for directions to Hinterlands, but it may be possible that the 80 misunderstood me.
-
Yeah, it 's the Dragon Molt patch. I guess I can store it till needed right?
-
Thanks for the tip on whispering. I knew that at one time, but forgot.
-
Also for the “right-click” on quest items in by bags tip. Somtimes can’t see the forest for the trees.
-
Still trying to find my way to the Hinterlands, but I’ll get it eventually.

“The use of the condom for free”. :smack: Jesus, whay was I thinking?
Thanks
Q
In this case, I am my own guild, the Order of the Rik. Vanity guild and all that. One of my toons is a blacksmith who can now open the lower-level boxes, and I’m working on a rogue, though the rogue just now got the quest to learn lockpicking, so they’re both still a ways away from being able to open the high-level boxes.
ETA: Now that my main is leveling Enchanting, I recently had need for a Golden Rod, and there were none on the AH. So I was advertising in Trade for a blacksmith to make me one and getting no response … then I remembered my DK is a blacksmith, so I logged him in, discovered he was able to make Golden Rods and had the materials to do so, so I had him make one for her plus a few more to post on the AH at an inflated price since there was no competition
I just looked at my BDL gallery again and realized I’d uploaded out-of-date pics of my orc hunter, Orahka. He was still in his starting quest-reward gear and hadn’t gotten his pet yet. I’ve fixed that - now you can see his pet boar, Truffler
