World of Warcraft General Discussion

“Account bound” just means that a copy of Mr. Chilly will be sent to all characters on your account. This means that if you create a new character in the future, that character will also get a Mr. Chilly!

This isn’t a scam, Blizzard is sending these little guys out to all players who merge their WoW account with Battle.net before a certain date. So you’re good to go. :slight_smile:

Yeah, Quasi - they’re making everyone move their accounts over to battle.net (I’m still procrastinating) - I guess you did that a while ago. Anyway, they’re also giving people the cute li’l penguin as a bonus for making the shift.

Edit: Man, ninja’d.

Working on taming King Mosh in Un’Goro since by all reports, the green one in Sholazar is harder.

BW change = 10 sec long leads to fail when considering that King Mosh fears every 8 sec and Tame Beast is approximately 15 sec long without a Haste pot. Haste Pot doesn’t shave as much time off as I’d like, either.

Mosh’s also immune to Frost/Ice traps.

Going to have to wait until I can get one of my priest or shaman friends to be online and help me out with a Fear Ward or Grounding Totem. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m curious, why do you want to tame him? Unlike King Krush(the green one), King Mosh doesn’t have a unique skin so once tamed he is no different from the regular Tyrant Devilsaurs.

Not quite accurate - although in this case, all characters on your account (and future characters created) will get Mr. Chilly, “account bound” means you can mail it to any character on your account on the same faction/server. The same tag applies to heirloom items purchased in Northrend, which are nice items for levelling alts (buy with your main, mail to your alt).

Thanks for the correction!

As for Mosh, I was trying him because I knew Krush would squish me into blue jam without backup. Given the fear thing, I may see if I can get additional backup and then go looking for Krush on the weekend…

Are there short cuts to opening and closing ALL bags at once, y’all?

Thanks

Shift+B.

Thks, Boss!:wink:

Now that we’ve finally been able to network my desktop with my wife’s (I’ve been"hogging" hers, playing WoW), I have post-its with all you answers stuk on the frame of my screen.

Dude, that was a reeeal hassle getting those two hooked up w/ wireless. Luckily, while the 2 of us were still single, we amassed enough hardware to jury-rig them together. (They’re in separate rooms about 50 feet apart and I was dreading buying that much ethernet cable!;))

Thanks

Q

… are a waste of time! You get 'em what they want, and then they don’t want it, 'cause you got too much!

Hmmmmm! ;);):wink:

Anyway, I abandoned them, and am headed back to Tanaris to that crater.

Q

I had the same problem - I got that “Delivery to Stormpike” quest and had no clue whatsoever how I was supposed to get to Loch Modan.

I also played for two months or more before I even realized that using the Auction House was so essential. I got my first toon to level 30 and had to beg a few gold from the guild I was in at the time so I could get my riding training. I’d just been vendoring everything I found that I couldn’t use, so all the money I had was from vendoring, money dropped by mobs, and quest rewards. I mean, hey, that’s how it worked in Diablo II, right?

… and my first toon was a paladin, and I blew my meager gold on a horse without realizing I got an essentially free Warhorse from the paladin trainer at 30 :smack: My guildmates had a good laugh over that one!
Re: “Duplicate item found” — I discovered that the dagger the head SI:7 guy in SW gives you as a low-level rogue quest reward is not your normal, unique quest-reward item. Apparently mobs can drop it, too. My gnome rogue had purchased this dagger on the AH and stuck it in the bank because he was still a level too low to use it at the time. Then I got the quest in question, and when I tried to turn it in I kept getting the “Duplicate item” error and I couldn’t turn in the quest. I was looking at my inventory trying to figure out what it was talking about, and not seeing any duplicates. I couldn’t figure out what was going on until I went to the bank and looked there, and sure enough, there was that dagger I’d purchased. I took it out of the bank and sold it to a vendor, then went back to the questgiver and successfully turned in the quest. I wonder why they did that?

Level 77! I can fly, Wendy, I can fly!

My first time in Icecrown, too. Major Final Fantasy vibe, what with the airship hovering around Ground Zero and all. Damn cool.

First off, I think the “duplicate item(s)” found is a rip. Your quest-giver should take what they need and you sell/auction/delete the rest. (I think this is the first time I ever voiced that strong an opinion here, and I may not know what I’m talking about/understand, but it just seems to me that it’s a waste of your questing time for them to do that.)

  1. We made it to level 53. 3 more and we go To BC, right?

  2. Yeah we made it, but only by grinding, so since we’re pretty much on our own (1st person plural - gotta include DA Wolk’ and DA Silk’;)) I have gone to Wowhead and put in my level to see what quests are available for us and do those, because we got pretty much a mess going on, due to me not understanding some of what we’re supposed to do. Good plan?

  3. Some of the quests I have are dungeon ones, so knowing what y’all know about me (and THEY don’t), how about I ask to be run through or fill in that Looking For box?

  4. Do the quests really get more intricate the higher you level solo? I don’t mind a quest chain (as long as it’s not 18 segments long!) but waving stuff over dead folks, collecting 100 termites in a jar - just ain’t our thang.:rolleyes:

So we’re armored-up, spent a prot talent point (correctly), and I think from here on out we’re gonna go fish a while! :slight_smile:

Finally started using my darts! Those things are GREAT for pulling!

Thanks

Quasi/Wolkie and Silka

PS: GRATZ, Mighty Mighty Bosstone!

Major grats! I am so jealous I know I am going to hit Northrend just as my second child turns up so I might be a bit busy to push on to 77 for a while…

Nope 5 more to go you can get to BC from 58, the quickest way to get there is to go to the Mage’s Quarter in Stormwind and get a portal to Blasted Lands then from there you can take the Dark Portal to Outland.

Yes good idea – at 53 my Pally was questing in the Plaguelands (both East and West) there are plenty of quests that involve just killing mobs that can be soloed.

Try using LFM – it has worked for me in Plaguelands often enough. In the next patch they are introducing cross server dungeons that is you’ll be able to join up with people on a different server to do an instance which should make LFM more useful as more people will be using it.

That termite quest is easy – just go to the area it suggests and you’ll see small mounds that are sparkling (like all quest items do) and all you have to do I click on the mound, wait while you ‘fill the jar’ then find another. Took me about 15 minutes and you get to kill a lot of mobs while doing it so you can grind too!

The Cauldron quests are a good chain, nice and easy just go to the each cauldron in turn and get a sample and this involves a lot of killing so you get a chance to grind and to complete quests. You pick these up in Chillwind camp Eastern Plaguelands.

My Warlock is taking some time out from questing while he gets fishing and tailoring to 300, it’s quite a nice change of pace to be honest. Last night I ran 3 different groups through Shadowfag Keep farming wool, it’s good to feel like a superman sometimes :slight_smile:

Thanks, martu!

I’ll do that termite quest, now that you’ve explained it.

Also, I’ve been to the Dark Portal many times (also killed some lvl 55 guards around it), but never went in, because it looked like an instance, and I’ve never done one alone before. (See how REAL this game is to me?), but now that I know what’s on the other side, I’ll be sure to go through.

“LFM” = “Looking for Mobs”, right?

Thanks

Q

My first bit of arrpee (actually, the first time I talked to anybody outside of morons ganking the little level 1 or sending duel requests - this was when butchering level 1s still gave honor) was asking a human in Loch Modan how to get to Stormwind, after a coyote made it clear that hoofing it wasn’t an option.

Man, I was so little…
LFM = Looking for more. Means you’re trying to do something which requires a group (either an instance or a group quest) and need more warm bodies (if you’re Horde, cold bodies are also acceptable).

Reminds of the time…:slight_smile:

Wolkie won a bottle of some kind of elixir and was invited to drink it and when he did, he turned into a skeleton. I/he freaked out, and thought we’d better take another swig to regain our size?

Wrong!

Turned us into a super-small skeleton running around like one of those tiny birds you see on the beach!

What did I do?

Came here of course, but by the time I could post anything , the spell had worn off.

I think I take this game too seriously sometimes, don’t y’all?:slight_smile:

Thanks for the clarification, Nava. Heh! “Looking For Mobs”. Sounds like something I’d think!

Quasi

Hey, if a goblin in Gadgetzan gave you that, you can get more! It’s a goblin standing in the south side of that city, and he’ll sell you 5 at a time. :slight_smile:

LFM = looking for morons, on my server anyway.

LFM = looking for more.

Others have explained LFM briefly would you like a bit more detail on how to use the Looking for Group and Looking for More options or have you used them previously?
