Beginning in just a few days, players who participate in the Recruit-A-Friend program will receive a whole new reward for showing a friend the ropes in Azeroth: the X-53 Touring Rocket, a two-seater flying mount that automatically increases its speed as your mount skill improves (up to 310% speed if you already have a 310% mount). The X-53 will be replacing the current Zhevra mount reward, which is retiring from the Recruit-A-Friend business after a good run. If you’ve already claimed a Zhevra (or claim one prior to the change), you’ll be able to hang on to it, of course. We’ll have more details on the new Recruit-A-Friend mount once it becomes available.
Boss, I think our healing complemented nicely, but you were really awesome when I died early in KT’s phase 2. You pretty much solo healed the rest of that fight.
Heh. I’m totally buying another account. I’ve already played pusher for all my friends a long time ago. $50 for a sweet mount like that is too good to pass up ($30 for two months of playtime and another $20 for another copy of the game).
If you can dual-box, leveling a couple of characters of your own with RAF is stupid fast. It’s a 300% increase in XP, plus lowbie leveling is already pretty fast. Last time I did it, I got a priest and a paladin to 60 in about a month (and that was while still working a normal job and raiding 4 nights a week on my main). It’s even faster if you have another account and can drag your two lowbies around and powerlevel them through instances. My three-passenger mammoth came in quite handy for that.
Also, once you get them up to 60 (or before that if you want) you can gift 1/2 the levels you gain on one of your two toons (I forget which one–the inviter or the “friend”) to another character on your account. Once I got my priest and paladin to 60, I got my 28 warlock up to 58 in…oh…about 30 seconds. And when you’re done getting your “friend” to 60, just transfer it to your other account and allow the “friend” account to lapse, so you don’t have to pay for it anymore.
BTW, if you plan to do this and want your rocket right away (as soon as it’s released, that is), use WoW prepaid game cards to pay for your 2 months of gameplay, not a credit card or other similar method. If you do the latter, you have to wait out the whole two months before you get the mount. With cards, it’s instant.
(Can you tell I’ve done this before? Uh…more than once? )
By the way, uh. Tip for Resto Druids out there: Rebirth, like all other rezzes, brings your target to your location when they come back to life. This is a readily obvious and simple fact, typically not worth worrying about considering most rezzes can’t happen in combat. But, uh, when you use Rebirth in combat…make sure you’re not standing in a void zone when you do. :o Skammer died midway through the KT fight, and I started rezzing him right as a void zone popped up on me. I finished casting and ran away, assuming Skammer would just arise from where he died. No…he arose from where he would immediately die again. :smack:
Ha. Thanks for the tips. $50 is still a lot of money, but it might just be worth it. And yeah, anyone I’d want to play WoW with is already in the game.
Kinda like this P-40 but sans wings, propeller, windows…but with goblin ingenuity, it does come with a 4-fin tail section and flaming duel manifolds coming out the side…you know…for increased speed and decreased safety.
The invited-account may give up to half of the levels gained by any character(s) on that account, up to level 60, to any combination of characters on the inviter-account of equal or lower level, but cannot push them past 60.
This is also really important on Thad. If you’re ever going to brez someone on that fight, make sure you run out of range of anyone else, so after the person rezzes, they can wait at the side 'til they get a charge.
They have to both be owned by the same person–matching names and the like.
I got the title on my main last year. So of course this year I have to get it on my two main alts. Let’s just say that I’ve been running in circles long enough to get motion sick. On Borean Tundra-H there isn’t much egg camping or Noblegarden going on, but on Feathermoon-A, ye gods. I’m going to have to make a macro that says "THE EGG IS A LIE D: " for any unwary who might decide that a purple bunny butt looks like an egg. (Blatantly stolen from another player who had a damn funny story to tell about some nutbag who decided minutes-long nerdrage was the way to go when that bunny sitting near a bush was zomg maliciously pretending to be an egg )
I also had fun Sunday toon-hopping for people who were /y for trolls, orcs, or undead for the Bunnymaker achievement. You’d think there would be more female undead running around than what I got from the number of ears put on my priest, though.
OTOH, I’m getting back into the swing of holy healing, and ran with a 63 DK who was new to tanking through Underbog and Slave Pens. He was nervous about his tanking and was the lowest toon in our group (I was the highest at 66), but I would totally heal for him again! He knew what D&D was, judiciously used Death Grip, and didn’t spike as much as other DKs I’ve healed. hearts I’m to the point where I wince when I see the tank is a DK, but I try to withhold judgement until I see how they perform.
My pug story: I had some time before the BDL raid so I hopped on my 46 pally (who’s been sadly neglected the last two weeks) hoping to heal a quick ZF or partial-Mara run. After 10-15 minutes I get in a group for ZF. They had just killed Gahz’rilla (isn’t that usually the last boss?), and apparently the healer had just quit on them. Weirdly, I immediately appeared with the group next to Gahz’rilla’s corpse instead of at the instance entrance like a replacement normally does. Then seconds after I join, the tank swears at the previous healer and drops. Two more dps drop, so it’s just me and a rogue. I don’t have time for this so I drop group – I don’t know how long it will take to get another tank and I don’t know how many bosses are even left. Thanks for nothing!
The other day, Wolkie and Silka were waiting for The Kraken on the dock (of the bay), when all of a sudden this thing pulls up beside us?
I don’t think it was all animal, because it had a big ol’ fan blade sticking out its ass? But sitting on top of it was this 80’s… (whatever! Hell, I don’t remember).
So just for a laff I walked Silka to the side made her turn and reared her up, while I whispered “eaaasy girl, easy” and “dayum, boah. That thing looks like 5 kinds a mean, right there!”
I thought he was gonna piss his britches, got all kinds a laughter and a salute and then the boat got there.
Been meaning to ask: Is there a guild-master’s handbook somewhere. Got me 8 guildies, including badlisisterjaejae and Henchi from here, and I wanna treat em all right…
Was it a land mount or a flying one? If it was land, sounds like a mechanostrider (the gnome mount). If it was flying, it might have been a helicopter.
I can’t point you to anything right now for the guildmaster thing because I can’t access WoW stuff at work (it blocks it because it’s “Games”). But I’ll look when I fix my computer…I got a malware program somehow that hijacks everything. I’ll have to try to fix it tonight and then get on. You might want to promote someone you can trust and who will be around a bit to the next highest rank to Guildmaster, so they have access to Guild Control. It will probably help to have someone able to help run the guild.
I believe there can only be one guildmaster, but you can create a rank with most (all?) of the same privileges right under it. I know my guildmaster over on Garrosh has three or four “lieutenants” who can step in and run the guild if she can’t play for a while. Unfortunately, I don’t really know the details since I’ve never actually run a guild and haven’t, therefore, seen the way the Guild Control windows work.
ETA: I do actually know that you can name the ranks in the guild anything you want. The Guildmaster could be “High King” or “Sauron” or “Il Duce” if you wanted. My DKos guild on Garrosh names their ranks after the unofficial titles on the Daily Kos blog: Guildmaster is “DKos”, next rank down is “Front Pager”, midrank is “Trusted User”, next rank down is “Rescued Diary” and newbies are “UID25000+”. They make sense if you know DKos…
Okay, why don’t we do this: Let that be my homework for the night, and when you can, come in and check me? I’ll give YOU guildmaster access. Would that work?
Well, you know jay, if I’m going to continue to play, I guess I need to learn some stuff on my own. No rush, okay, but I’ll be on about 7 and I’ll just be standing there practicing and stuff. Is SW always convenient for you and for my info, where are some other guild vaults, like maybe NR?
