Damn, that sucks. 
Server populations are big, but not that big. Here’s hoping you don’t have to pack up and jump servers just to play the game.
As for Dalaran, I’m not crazy, dangit! There is a bubble there, it’s just translucent.
Failing that, here’s another idea: if the ghost boat is in the place where old assets go to die, then perhaps the old opaque shield was moved under the world, too, and only visible from the ghost boat.
The Tourney’s a little complex. There’s three ranks:
Aspirant: This is the training course, necessary to do anything at the tourney. In this rank, you practice jousting on Argent horses. There will be one near your faction’s tent and also some by the training grounds which are north of the main building. This rank has nothing to do with the cities. (Time: 3 days)
Valiant: Once you pass through Aspirant, you become Valiant for your home city. Say Blood Elf, for example. You do quests for Silvermoon City, and when you joust you use the hawkstrider found beside the Sunreaver tent. Once you finish your Valiant rank for your home city, you can then choose to become a Valiant of any of the other four cities. When you become a Valiant for another city, that mount opens up for you to joust on. Even if you’re a Valiant for, say, Thunder Bluff, if you’ve gone through Silvermoon City first you can use the hawkstrider at any time. (Time: 5 days per city)
Champion: Once you pass through Valiant, you become a Champion of whichever city you were doing the Valiant quests for. This allows you to purchase from the city’s quartermaster, which offers city-related paraphernalia, like mounts and tabards and extra reputation. If you’re a Champion and Exalted for a particular city, you get a title “of the X”. I think the only exception is your home city, which grants you the title regardless of reputation.
Champion status with at least one city also allows you to complete extra quests for Champion’s Seals, which can be used to buy gear and stuff. It doesn’t matter which city you’re a Champion of, the same quests are offered to you, and you get extra quests (and another title) when you’re Champion of all five cities.
ETA: After all that, I just realized I didn’t answer the question I quoted. Well, I answered the first one. If you weren’t already Exalted, you’d be earning 250 rep per daily for the city you’re doing Valiant quests for, plus 250 Sunreaver rep. As it is, you’ll just earn Sunreaver rep (or Silver Covenant for Alliance). When you graduate to Champion and start doing Champion quests, those will give 250 Sunreaver/Silver Covenant rep plus 250 Argent Crusade rep. Organizationally, the Argent Crusade is the umbrella faction, under which are the two faction factions (:D), under which are the individual city factions.
Sorry for the multi-posting rather than multi-quoting, but I just discovered selling glyphs. I mean, I’ve bought plenty of glyphs before, and I know some go for a good price since they’re good high-demand glyphs, but I never really knew what went into them.
Last night, my Inscription mage got a bunch of glyphs from the trainer. I made up some Glyphs of Hunter’s Mark to work up the Inscription skill. One glyph requires about 5 herbs to create plus a cheap vendor item. I tossed them at my bank alt and went to put them up…and hello, Glyph of Hunter’s Mark goes for 30-50 gold. For 50 silver worth of material. :eek:
It’s probably the first crafting profession I’ve tried that looks to actually be profitable at low levels. 
(Just quoting the first bit since it’s too early to worry about the other steps and in any case I think the other stages will be self-explanatory once I get past this first bit)
I’m thinking I missed a preliminary step somewhere along the line. Here’s a screenshot of me, lance equipped, with what I assume must be the appropriate mount for my human paladin:
http://www.mister-rik.com/hosted/tourney_mounts.jpg
The pointer doesn’t show up in the screenshot, but it’s hovering over the horse and it’s just the regular pointing hand thing.
And here I am behind the Aspirant’s Ring, looking at the wider view:
http://www.mister-rik.com/hosted/tourney_aspirantring.jpg
No mountable mounts in sight.
So I’m thinking I need to “register” or something, so here I am talking to the NPC who is apparently the registrar:
http://www.mister-rik.com/hosted/tourney_registrar.jpg
He talks to me, but there’s no option to “sign up”.
So that leads me to think that maybe I’ve missed a questgiver somewhere who sends me to the Tournament grounds in the first place? I would imagine such a questgiver would be in Dalaran, but the only questgivers I find there are the NPCs who hand out the various dailies and the guy on Krasus’ Landing who sends me to the Alliance airship in Icecrown. And I don’t detect any questgivers at the Tournament grounds. I remember getting the letter about the Tournament in my mailbox way back when I first hit 80 (or whenever the Tournament started - I can’t recall which happened first), but I seem to remember it simply told me to go to the Tournament grounds.
What am I missing here?
GAAAAAAH! I just found Justicar Mariel Trueheart way the hell at the other end of the Tournament grounds. She’s gotten me started.
:smack:
We’re very tired, but very happy!
(7 hours)
Everyone who has helped us gets all the credit!
We just followed some very good advice and teaching.
We’re trained-up, talent added, but not yet armored-up.
SFG, if you’d be so kind as to take a look at Wolkie in the armory, I sure would appreciate it, as always.
Thanks, Quasi/Wolkie and Silka
Ohhh, my bad. I did leave out the crucial step, and in fact I had the same problem you’re having, with being unable to find the questgiver. Go to the tent to the far west of the grounds, the big rectangular one. You start there. Here’s a color-coded map with the various locations around the grounds. Once you get close to it, the exclamation point should pop up.
Guild run was pretty successful - after thinking I’d miss it, I wound up on at the right time anyway, so Rumpole returned from Outland to join in the fun. One wipe, on a boss who we didn’t know feared and called for help; one near-wipe to trash plus a patrol (I think) where the tank and healer both ended up dead, but only after taking out enough of them that the shadow priest (me) and the two hunters plus pets could finish the job.
Yay for us! Here was how the wipe went.
“Here’s the boss… does he do any tricks?”
“No, I don’t think so.”
“Okay, pulling…”
adds fear adds fear
/wipe
“All right, that seemed like a trick after all…”
But we got through it fine and it went more quickly than last time. After we complete the west wing, we should come back for a tribute run.
Did you try using the holy water **before **killing them or **before **looting them? I’ve run into a number of “use this item on this mob” quests where it won’t work if you try it *after *killing it.
Eat A Baby Or Die?
You do have to work on your own race first, but I’m quite sure you don’t need a lance equipped to see the mount icon. I know this because I’ve more than once tried to mount one of the tournament vehicle mounts, only to get the “You don’t have a lance equipped, dumbass” error message.
It means that you’ll get your respective “Exalted Champion” achievements as soon as you hit Champion rank with each faction, that you don’t have to spend your Crusader Seals on rep-increasing items, and that when you get to your champion dailies, you can select the bag with money (and the chance for an extra Crusader Seal) versus the rep-increasing item.
BT’s actually got a pretty big population… but very few (truly competent) raiders. That’s why FoW broke up–just not a good enough recruitment pool to maintain our momentum. If it were just me, I could find another place in a heartbeat. But as-is… :\
You’re probably just right that it’s the new translucent bubble, but I like this idea better.
IMO, run Auctioneer Advanced, and then, while leveling Inscription, make more of the glyphs with the highest sell price. So, say I need five more skill points to get my next recipes, and I have three glyph recipes that are currently conning orange: Glyph of Shitty Effect that goes for 50s, Glyph of Kind of Useful but Pretty Common that goes for 5g, and Glyph of Holy Shit I Need That Now that goes for 50g. I’d make three to five Glyph of HSINTN and one or two Glyph of KUPC.
She’s gorgeous! The wings suit her very well. 
I just emailed myself a note to check once I get home. Can’t promise I won’t brain fart about it, but I’ll try my best.
That’s the story of my life with these old bosses. Not so big of a problem when I’m doing a run-through on my main (I can break Fear every 30 seconds, picking up adds is no problem, and even incapacitated I could probably just soak all the damage), but when I’m doing something at-level… :eek:
You actually start with a “newbie” mount when you’re doing your Aspirant dailies - a chicken if you’re Horde, probably a horse if you’re Alliance.
Congratulations! Flying is FUUUUN!
And I have only one song for Silka:
Transformers! More than meets the eye!
Transformers! Horsie in disguise!
Remember, to take off, hit the space bar. Took me about ten minutes skimming the frostdrake on the ground in the Death Knight starting area to figure that out…
Just be careful not to fly over any Horde cities - they have flying guards who can knock you off your Griffon, and that’s no fun when you’re 500 feet in the air.
Oh my. I’m laughing so hard that there are tears in my eyes and my stomach hurts.
And if you have not already, get the Tabard from the Quartermaster and use it when you run any 80 Lvl or heroic instance. The rep from those will run you up muuuch faster then doing the 3 dailies alone as those on give 750 rep a day total.
It’s always nice to see when your profession finally start to pay off. Right now I’m starting to put more of a focus on getting some of the ~9,000g it took me to max enchanting, and I’m doing it 40g-150g at a time.
The Argent tourney dailies can be a good source of income once you find the best way to complete them. I’m a champion for all the reputations and it usually takes me under 30 minutes to complete all the dailies and it nets well over 100g.
Congratulations Quasi, flying makes things MUCH easier. No longer will you have to fight through npcs to get to the quest objective, just fly over them all and drop directly on top! You can do backflips too! Hold down the [insert] key on your keyboard, while moving, for some extra fun.
This. I’ve had my share of close calls in Hellfire and Zangarmarsh. Also be careful not to cast any spells as it will dismount you and you will tumble to your death. Pally bubble had saved me more than a few times.
I can stop trying:
Man beats World of Warcraft
Not sure what the photo represents.
Comments are kinda funny too. predictable but funny.
9k? Yowch. You didn’t have a profession paired with it (Tailoring, LW, BS, JC) where you could make DEables, I take it?
If you really want to make the cashy monies as a chanter, start farming the SP chant out of MC. It’s the best chant that can be applied to a heirloom weapon for casters, so twinks will pay hundreds of gold for a scroll of it. The recipe itself goes for several thousand gold, if you can manage to get more than one copy of it to drop.
Yes, be very careful what buttons you hit in the air. My recommendation would be to hover a few feet above the ground and try hitting different things to see what dismounts you and what doesn’t. Fortunately, as a Warrior, you mostly won’t have any Rage in the air, which will mean that most of your abilities will just give error messages.
One thing that you **can **do is change stances or gear.
Aw, blocked from work. Description?
An account on a Taiwanese server with every achievement completed. Sheer insanity if you ask me (and hopefully more than one person playing…).
Here’s the armory link : World of Warcraft
