Scribe Blah Blah ...

Seller #1: 1,862 glyphs @ 5g each = 9,310g
Seller #2: 1,285 glyphs @ 5g each = 6,425g
Seller #3: 1,261 glyphs @ 5g each = 6,305g

Ink of the Sea: 1,710 @ 4g50sg each = 7,695g
Snowfall Ink: 2,609 @ 11g each = 28,699g
R. Parchment: 290 @ 0.50g each = 145g
Cash: 95,322g

For a total of 153,901 gold of which 61.9% is cash.

That is a cash:goods ratio decrease of a 0.8% or 2 and a gross increase of 7K or so. Still Not happy :( Business is Slowing down. Going to have to start looking at JC more!!

First Attempt at Warrior Tanking

My little girlie gnome warrior, BitchSlapper, made her first foray into instance tanking last week.

Background
She has been levelling as prot since she had her talent points reset around level 60, probably around the time Wrath hit. She has been accompanied by P**Stabber the rogue in a dualboxing exercise since refer-a-friend and my 3rd account. So I am pretty used to where most of the prot and defensive stance talents are and what they do, but she's not been in an instance with a full group. I've got the taunts and threat stuff on my bars but they've not really been used or needed.

Bored
So I was sat in a random dungeon queue late in the evening with the mage. It was probably far too late for a dps to get into a group in any reasonable time, so on the spur of the moment I logged over to the warrior and plopped her into a random queue. It popped shortly thereafter.

It was Sethek Halls. It was late. I was drunk.

I'm a Virgin!
I admitted at the start that this was my first outing as prot. They were just glad to have a tank! We wiped a few times. I could generally hold the packs aggro and taunt runners back to me. To be honest I always died before the healer so I reckon I wasn't doing too badly!! We lost a few players and they were replaced. We finished the instance.

What A RFesult
Well at least we must have done as I had the random dungeon quest reward in my bags the next morning. But I can't even remember doing the last boss. How drunk was I? That group must have really thought they'd lucked out with that tank :P

So I went looking through my screenshots and found this...

Mage Alt Update

The last you heard about my mage (Arcanite) was probably when he was in his 30s and pootling around STV and SM as Arcane Spec. Why arcane spec? Purely cos I wanted to be different and liked Arcane Missiles and Arcane Explosion.

I was fully aware that at the time this was in no way to be considered a levelling spec. I don't know if it even gets close nowadays. I know, thanks to mage bloggers out there like Euripedes and Larisa for eg, that Arcane can be a viable raiding spec. I'm not raiding now and I wasn't back then. I chose that tree purely for my own enjoyment. Deal with it!!

Identity Crisis
Anyway, so he was called something different on a different server and he was level 30 something engineer.

I think I brought him over and levelled him up because I needed something engineery that he'd be able to make and I was too stingy to buy it, but I brought him over and levelled him to level 49. Don't know why he only made it there if I needed to level him for something.

Refer a Fuck Up
The intention was to spend the last of my refer-a-friend grant levels on him and take him from 49-60. Wrath hit. The grant levels got lost for a while. By the time I got back to him and that glitch had been fixed the 90 days were up and the grant levels had expired.

Dungeon Dungeon Dungeon
Anyway, so I've dusted him off and put his refunded talent points into the fire tree and thrown him over and over again at the random dungeon tool. He levelled from 49-57 in about a week purely on dungeons. I can't remember what he started out in, but ZF never came up. He had a good few Sunken Temples and more than enough Blackrock Depths (lower and upper city) and has now done a few Dire Malls.

Nice Gear
He is mostly kitted out in blue gear rewards from random dungeons. Very Nice.

So, this post has been written for a little while and has been sat in draft waiting for me to finish it off, so in the mean time I took the little blighter through a few more dungeons, culminating in this mid run of The Blood Furnace.



So - Mage or Warlock?
It's the eternal debate isn't it? They hate each other. My Lock was the second char to level cap at 60 and 70 and made 80 with HW. But now I'm having so much fun topping the damage meters and failing to decurse anyone I'm losing sight of why I liked my 'lock. Besides the fact that Blizztards have nerfed the fuck out of him over and over a-fucking-gain.

Calling Out The Daggerspine Assholes ... Or Not!

So I was going to call out those asshole window-lickers on Daggerspine for kicking me and wasting my time. But then I started reading Larisa's post and decided not to.

Lucky escape for you Midnightelf from Eminence guild on Daggerspine eh?

[Note to self. Delete draft post before logging off]

*Crash Bang Wallop*

Woah, what was that?

*Wanders off to investigate noise*



As it turns out 3 of them were from the same guild. Fucking Monkeys. I'm obviosly not going to say what the name of the guild was *cough* Eminence *cough* but I bet they sure are proud of their members.

Anyway, so it's a good job Larisa posted that or I might have spent far too long taking the piss out of some mouth-breathing asshole and his guild who lets their tanks be called Midnightelf - hahahha lol zomgroflbbq now that would be funny eh?

Edit: Not "lets" their tanks be called Midnightelf. This Brain Fart is the GM - HAHAHAHHAHAHH!!! And he has 9 ranks just for level 80s!!! What a control freak! And there is a level 80 called Nightmareelf - I bet that's the fuktards alt!!! HAHAHHHA!! OMFG My sides hurt. What a fucking cock!

I bet this is the kind of prick who doesn't even bother levelling his enchanting skill past 410 and makes his guildie minions enchant his gear for him. *cough* That's exactly what the waste-of-oxygen does *cough*!

Well that's what his mate Nozgareth told me (when I created a level 1 over on their realm and spoke to him) said anyway.

His other mate Pofe didn't agree, he said when he's not walking like John Wayne he's a great GM, it's just that some of the IRL favours he demands of his officers are a bit strange. Read: perverse and illegal in some countries.

But Englishfrost says that for the rest of the guild it's fine, they just ignore his strange sense of humour and get on with it. Otherwise how are they gonna raid Hogger without his expert tutelidge. I think I detected some sarcasm from EF.

Vendettah, on the other hand, isn't one to pull punches. He said as soon as he gets invited to 'the other guild' he will be out of the guild of deviant ass-lickers quicker than Monica Lewinsky got her lips round Bill Clinton's sweaty cock.

...

So, within minutes, well 12 or so, I was in a much nicer group. A bit impatient, but hey ho!

Daggerspine EU Arseholes

I took EB into a random dungeon tool PUG last night while I was creating the images for the last post. We got into Old Kingdon - Gah!!!

We were doing OK and we had headed down the tunnel that opens out onto the top of the steps. The group killed some mobs and then for some reason jumped off the side of the stairs (presumably to avoid some trash). I followed them forgetting that I had the Imp out.The pet was on defensive.

After about 10 seconds I thought "why is the imp not by my side?" and then realisation dawned. Without wasting a second I said in party chat

[party] EB: Sorry, pet pull
[party] EB: INC

The pet was a good 50 yards behind me, the rest of the group were a good 50 yards ahead of me, the group backtracked, I got hit with one spell before the pet-pulled trash pack were face down. Literally 10 seconds of everyone's time and we were back on track.

A few seconds later some asshole from the Daggerspine realm that actually had 'nightelf' in his name asked if I just had people on follow, linked a damage meter with me showing just shy of 1.5K dps* and then it was loading screen and "You have been removed from the group"

I mean - DOUBLE YOU TEE EFF??????????????????

So to you mouth breathing window licking arseholes on Daggerspine-EU: Fuck You - I hope you die soon. I'm gonna publish your names in my next post if I can drag them out of my "Elephant" addon when I get home.

Especially to the tank who I am sure was called warriornightelf or maxnightelf or something. If I ever get into a group with you on my healer. Expect me to make you look shite, cause you a massive repair bill and do my best to get you vote-kicked. I don't care if you are the tank. I'll change my dual spec to tank just so I can take over and all we'll need is a healer.

* OK, that's not great DPS, but it's not totally shite either. It was midnight, I was drunk!

The Gear Purchases

I bought the Heartmender Ring for 35 Emblem of Triumph to replace the Renewal of Life.

I then downgraded 18 Conquests to Valors to get the Cloak of Kea Feathers(il-213) to upgrade from the Shroud of Dedicated Research rather than spend the frosts on a cloak I'm gonna save some more for the frost chest or waist.

The cloak upgrade will still get me...



...and be an upgrade of:
+14 Armour
+14 Stamina
+14 Intellect
-10 Haste
+20 Spell Power
+21 MP5

Whereas the Drape of the Violet Tower (il-264) would have been an EXTRA:
+23 Armour
+27 Stamina
+26 Intellect
-28 Haste
+31 Spell Power
+9 MP5
Blue Socket (5 SP bonus)

Or I could get another 10 Frosts an upgrade the waist to Lich Killer's Lanyard and get as an upgrade from my il-219 Belt:
+179 Armour
+32 Stamina
+36 Intellect
+30 Spell Power
+30 Haste
+24 Crit

Or wait for 95 Frosts and get Chestplate of Unspoken Truths giving:
+343 Armour
+48 Stamina
+46 intellect
+ Yellow socket
+63 Spellpower
+100 Crit
-67 Haste
+21 MP5

So I went for the il-213 Cloak and will be saving for the belt and chest. But i got this:



Other Badge Upgrades I could grind for...
19 Conquest upgrade my 213 necklace to a 226
The same for the libram
60 Frosts Trinket - Purified Lunar Dust

Tuesday 26 January 2010

I Can't Wait...

...until tonight.

I have 49 Emblem of Frosts. Emblem's of Frost? Whatever.

I need 50 Emblems for my new cloak.

My new cloak gets me the Epic achievement!! That's 1 Year, 2 Months and 2 Weeks odd after Wrath was released - LOL! I don't even see "Must have Epic" in LFG anymore. It's all "must link achi, must have gs > 6K blah blah".

I won't even be able to link my "Epic" achievement because people will see the date on it and lolrofl all the way to the votekick button! Pretend I'm new? I love my Lieutenant Commander title too much for that.

Mind you, there might be even better gear upgrades available for my frosts. Maybe I can get a cloak for downgraded emblems and get some T10 stuff in a couple of weeks.

Also on the gear front I will have enough triumphs to upgrade my ilevel200/213 ring to a 245-ish one.

Tonight is going to be fun. But for now I am stuck at work taking advantage of the mail2blogger functionality.Haha stupid IT department and your web filtering software. Mwuhahahhaha!

And on that subject hopefully my gmail won't append some stupid signature like hotmail did last night.

Changes to Comments

Along with the email to blog post that I discovered last night I have also changed the comments section.

I have added backlinks and I have allowed anybody to post comments.

I may have to change the latter again, but it was set to only allow google/blogger accounts to comment. Lets see how it goes.

Blog Post via Email

My posting has been slower of late. That's because work started off by blocking anything adminney or commenty from blogger/blogspot. Now they have blocked the whole domain, so not only can I not access my own blog from work, but I cannot read any other blogspot blogs. Grrr!!
 
It may even have been my persistant blog reading that triggered then ban. Oops!!
 
I may have figured out a way to get around this problem using a remote desktop. But, I may now have discovered an option within blogger that lets you blog via email; and this is where this blog post has come from. YAY!!!
 
Hopefully. Lets see if this posts.

Scribe Update

Arggg. Hardly any cash boost at all. However, the newly level capped JC has brought in a few K (which is not included in these numbers).

Seller #1: 2,144 glyphs @ 5g each = 10,720g
Seller #2: 1,533 glyphs @ 5g each = 7,665g
Seller #3: 1,484 glyphs @ 5g each = 7,420g

Ink of the Sea: 866 @ 4g50sg each = 3,897g
Snowfall Ink: 2,250 @ 11g each = 24,750g
R. Parchment: 724 @ 0.50g each = 362g
Cash: 91,979g

For a total of 146,793 gold of which 62.6% is cash.

That is a cash:goods ratio decrease of a % or 2 and a gross increase of 6K or so. Not happy :(

EDIT: Although I have been playing catch up. I have been undercut a lot less, my sale volumes have gone up (but not the value) and I let it slide, I was not restocking. I went Out-Of-Stock on a lot of glyphs. If I had them I would probably have sold them :(

HW and EB The Patient

Yep, they've both managed to PUG too many dungeons...update maybe to follow with screenshots.

Monday 18 January 2010

HolyWarriors Gear and Jewelcrafting.

Holywarrior's gear is still a little pants.

He's got a couple of good epics from heroics, but they're mostly off spec stuff. He's sat on about 30 frost emblems and 100 triumphs and managed to pick up Mariel's Sorrow a little while ago, probably from ToC(HC) and a ring(Oath of Empress Zoe) this weekend.

Achievement Cheating
So the only slots left that require ilevel 213s in are the cloak and the trinkets. I bought him the Talisman of Resurgence trinket from the triumph vendor and equipped it in both trinkets slots so that they both got ticked off the list. I then won the roll on a 232 ring(Zoe) so now legitimately have 'epic' in both ring slots.

Nearly Epic
At the end of the weekend HW now just needs a cloak to get the epic achievement. That's right over a year since wrath came out and I still don't have 'Epic'!!!

In 11 days (or less if I do the random raid) HW will have 50 Emblems of Frost. He will buy the Frost Emblem Cloak. He will be Epic!

Jewelcrafting
Some time ago, I decided to respec HW from Miner/Skinner to Blacksmith/Jewelcrafter. I completed the Blacksmith retrain some time ago and started creating Eternal Belt Buckles and socketed my gloves and bracer.

Changing Profs
Last week I finally took the plunge and dropped mining and started learning Jewelcrafting. I had 95% of the mats required in my guild bank so it was just a question of mailing off sellable stuff to the banker and DE'able stuff to EB as I made it.

JC Daily
As soon as I could do the daily I did it. On the first day you do a starter quest which rewards a JC token and then you can do the daily. So day 1 allowed me to buy my first Dragons Eye recipe. I had 2 Dragon's Eyes so I immediately made them into gems.

I've finally been taking my main seriously and been reading up on the best specs/enchants/gems now that I have converted to the best professions (in my mind at least) for a Holy Pally.

Holy Light or Flash of Light
I read over at Paladin Schmaladin that there are 2 main ways to go with a holy pally. Intellect and haste for a huge mana pool and dropping Holy Lights around, or the more high-end spellpower/FoL strategy for end game hard modes that have you sniping very fast largish heals but with less mana to play with.

As I am still in naxx gear with a few upgrades I'm sticking with the Holy Light/Loadsa mana build and am going to be replacing those SP gems I have with Intellect gems. But only as I replace gear. So those 2 dragons eye were the intellect model.

Meta Gems
On Sunday I got him to 448/450 jewelcrafting just one day too late to make EB his Chaotic Skyflare. But once I'd done the JC daily I dropped 280 gold on some powders, so that I could could buy the recipe anyway. I bought up some skyflare diamonds and levelled up to 448 with a brief stop on the way to make an icy prism at 440, as recommended by the jewelcrafting guide I've been following.

So now HW has another daily to do so that he can learn every jewelcrafting recipe. Hmm that could take some time! I really should have started a long time ago!

Scribe Stuff

Not half as much cash came in this week :(

Seller #1: 1,835 glyphs @ 5g each = 9,175g
Seller #2: 1,285 glyphs @ 5g each = 6,245g
Seller #3: 1,013 glyphs @ 5g each = 5,065g

Ink of the Sea: 1407 @ 4g50sg each = 6,331g
Snowfall Ink: 1988 @ 11g each = 21,868g
Cash: 90,827g

For a total of 139,551 gold of which 64.4% is cash. And 5K profit. Grrrr!!!

Curse of the Tides Bug Fixed ... maybe

I don't know if it has been permanently fixed or if the bug was bugged. But when I took the mage back down to STV to clear a few grey and green quests I popped over to see if Galvan, Gavlan, Gevlon, Gablan, whoever-the-fuck had been fixed.

First off I had to go all the way to BB and abandon the quest and retake to get a new knife. I must have dumped it when I had full bags or something.

So back up to the Rebel Camp and a little running and I swam down to his little Altar of the Tides in the Cursed Reef. I didn't even have to use the knife. He was already there and hostile. As opposed to un-summonable or friendly.

I don't know if they have changed him so he is always there and always hostile, the quest has been fixed or a GM had been coerced into resetting him for someone. I don't care. He was red then he was dead. Tada!

I had put in many tickets concerning him and persuading GMs that they could reset him. If they accepted that they could do they would tell me it had been done and close the ticket before I could find that they had done bugger all and he was still bugged.

Whatever, quest finished.

Next up he went to try and solo Negolash. Maybe a frost spec would have been better. A Repair, 5 BBQ Buzzard wings later and a quick visit from EvilBastard and he's dead too.

3.3 Holy Plate Shopping List

I stumbled over this at Paladin Schmaladin and wanted to record it here for my own benefit before I forget where I found it. Basically it's a list of gear to get with your emblems of frost.

"Anyway, for the Frost Emblem Holy priority (FEHP?) here's what I'd do:

1.) Get 2 pieces of T10 asap. Preferably the shoulders (60 Emblems), chest or head (95 Emblems each), since they have Haste on them. Ignore the gloves. The bonus is ridiculous and completely unfair and I love it. As a Holy Paladin you want to race to this faster than NBC will admit Leno at 10pm was a huge mistake.
2.) Quite the sexy belt, isn't it? Haste, crit, SP and three sockets with the belt buckle? Get it next.
3.) Pick up the Gauntlets of Overexposure (60 Emblems).
4.) Finish the other two pieces of your Tier.
5.) Grab the cloak if you still need it by now, which isn't likely.
6.) Buy the trinket at this point only if you seriously have nothing better and you're FoL spec. But after 4/5 T10, the gloves and the belt, that's 465 badges. Meaning, chances are, you've stumbled across a better cloak. Hopefully this bad boy.
7.) The Libram is pure nonsense and shouldn't be looked at. Ever. At all. Don't even look at it right now. Stop it. Stop. Just stop.

Patch 3.3 Speculation Results

So, what happened to my speculation on Patch 3.3? I had 3 main areas of speculation. Borean Leather, Saronite Ore and Book of Glyph Masterys.

Glyph Books.
As we know that was totally FUBAR. It turned out that I got this idea off Kevmar I think and that turned out to be mis-information. Never mind Kev. I didn't research it :P I set up a snatch for 30g and was hoping to flip at 50g as this was possible pre-3.3 with some patience. I have managed to trickle a few back into the market for profit/no-loss but with the new dungeon tool the bloody books have flooded in.

Borean Leather.
HBL can now be used to buy Arctic Fur. The premise was that BL and HBL would go up while Arctic Fur would drop and the prices would meet in the middle.

What Happened was that, for whatever reason (best analysed elsewhere), Arctic Fur dropped and leather blipped on patch day and stabilised back at roughly it's old price.

I had 2 guild bank tabs of Borean Leather bought at a very low snatch price. I sold 1 tab of straight leather at 100% profit. It then became more profitable to sell as Heavy Leather so I took the leap and converted it all up.

I have been trickling the HBL on a few stacks of 10 at a time with a 1c undercut. The deposit is way too much to risk failed auctions. I'm now generally selling them between 40-50g / 10 stack. There going as 10s for the ease of players who want a 10 stack for 1 arctic fur.

I'm thinking the Arctic Fur market is too slow to get into. It's too late now. I only have a few stack of HBL left.

Saronite Ore.
The same happened here as with the leather. Titanium dropped, no significant long term change to saronite.

This was really worrying me. I had half a guild bank tab of ore and a full tab of bars. Splitting my risk. The ores all sold out on patch day or the following day. Leaving me with all my bars still. They are slow moving and bloody expensive to have a failed auction on. So as with the leather I have been trickling them back into the AH when the market was favourable.

The other day I spotted someone in trade saying they'd buy all bars for 35g/stack. Now, I had bars on a snatch of 32, but very rarely bought them. My ore was at a snatch of 16g/ore stack (translates to 32g/bar stack) and that is where most of my bars came from. So, he wants 35g/stack. The convo went something like.

[Me]: How about 38g/stack
[Him]: How many you got?
[Me]: 60. So is 38g/stack OK?
[Him]: Sure.
[Me]: OK, 60 in the mail now with a COD of 38g/stack
[Him]: Cool, is that 60 bars?
[Me]: No, that's 60 STACKS
*time passes*
[Him]: &*@~$. Cool thx

I don't know if he was expecting that much or was just surprised that someone had that many, but it got rid of that millstone round my neck and put 2K in my coffers.

Just gotta get rid of those bloody glyph books now.

Loving The New Random Dungeon Tool

When 3.3 came out I was writing a review of the new dungeon tool. I only had a couple of screen shots to put in it and polish it up and it was finished. I may still release that post. But probably won't.

SO, just in case I don't I'll just shout about it now.

I FUCKING LOVE THE NEW DUNGEON FINDER TOOL.

HolyWarrior has spent quite some time using it, at least the first random dungeon of the day so that he can build up some frost emblems. But today I spent most of my time in there with EvilBastard.

His gear was absolute cack and after quite a few heroics it is a lot better. He's still got a < ilevel 200 trinket but everything else is at least ilevel 200 with a couple of epics.

The weird thing was he did the same heroics several times. He definitely did Halls of Lightning at least 3 times. WTF is that all about. I thought that once you'd done it you were locked to it for a day or something. The dungeon tool even had a padlock against it and said I was locked. It would still let me in and reward me for completing it.

So anyway, as stated in a previous post I was lucky to be kicking out 600-700 dps a few days ago.

Now I can easily put out 1.4K (yeah - dog shit I know) and hit 1.9K if I concentrate. If we're taking on 3 or more mobs I'll switch to Seed of Corruption and can easily get 3K. I even got 4.1K once. Screenshot or it didn't happen!!

EB beats HW Into Culling of Strat. Grrr!

I'm really getting into this random dungeon tool. Once I'd taken HolyWarrior in for the 1st heroic of the day to get his emblems I thought I'd take EvilBastard out for a spin.

He went into an AN and a UK (both heroics). EB's gear is really crap. Most of the gear is TBC epics or quest reward/levelling greens up to and including Grizzly Hills. He hasn't been into many (if any) dungeons and has a couple of Argent Crusade epics. His gearscore must be appalling.

Oh Shit My DPS is Worse than Crap
This was shown when recount advised me after a few pulls that my DPS was around 693. OK, lets research specs.

According to Saresa over at Destructive Reach this is what we are looking at. (obviously don't CotE if you have a DK or Shammy or something in the group.)

UPDATE. Nibs over at Mystic Chicanery did an excellent article for Affliction Locks and how to choose. She says its an Unholy DK bringing Ebon Plaguebringer or a Boomkin with Earth and Moon when you don't need to bother with CotEl. Also: 3 or more caster need to benefit. Think I'm gonna go back to CoA!!

Curse of the Elements*
Conflag
Chaos Bolt
Immolate
CoA/D*
Incinerate

* take your pick

Anyway, I won a belt and put an eternal belt buckle in it.

Fucking Stroppy Tanks
In one of the runs the DK tank was getting a bit arsy. He could have been talking to me or to the pally healer. He was raving about crap gear etc. The pally assumed it was aimed at him and came back with the good argument that the noob tank is not going to get healed if the healer is OOM and the tank fucks off 100 yards into the distance and pulls every pack of mobs in site.

I chimed in that the tank was probably talking to me, but the healer was on a roll and just to get at the tank said "It's not your fault your gear isn't exceptional, that's why you're in here!"

WOOAAH!!

I replied with "That was the nicest way I've ever been told that my gear is shit <3"

Anyway, by the time we'd finished I still wasn't using Saresa's rotation but my DPS was up to 800-900. LOL - still crap but I'll work on it.

Later in the evening I though I'd take him out again and after a few hiccups when the LFD popped whilst I was alt-tabbed or off getting a beer and pissing out old beer I finally got in, and it was a CoT:CoS. Grr!!

Back Up Just a little Bit
One of the things I was looking forward to with Wrath was the Culling of Stratholme. But I just have not got round to doing it. I have been doing the instances as I was led into them via levelling. But having hit 80 on EB and HW in Grizzly Hills I'd only done Nexus/Occulus and AN. I've only recently gotten into Ancient Kingdom whatever. So, getting EB into CoS before HW grated a little :P

OK back to the Present
But he is in there so lets make the most of it. I really want to get the storyline and see the event but I guess everyone else in the entire world (of warcraft) has seen the event countless times and it is just boring and/or holding up timed runs. So I didn't get to appreciate one of the most important lore events of the expansion.

So, anyway, off we go speeding through. Kill lots of stuff. Towards the end Arthas says 'speak to me when your ready to go' and everyone has charged off and starts fighting something that's going to hopefully drop an epic mount.

For some reason

a) even though I'd never been in here before
b) was obviously a noob dps'er
c) should have been keeping my head down

I clicked on Arthas and told him to go do his thing.

[someone]: LOCK - you bloody stupid gnome!
[me]: err, oops. was that bad?
[someone]: you don't start stupid slow arthas and get him killed when we're doing a timed run.
[me]: Oops, sorry. It's ok though. he's back :P
*Loot Window for [Reins of Bronze Drake] pops up*
*EB clicks NEED*

And I won the reins to the the drake - hahahhaha.

So off we go and kill Malganis and jobs a good 'un. He's dead and no-one complained that I noobed about and/or that I'd won the reins with little to no input and in fact was just plain useless!!

Moar DPS?
Whilst in CoS I'd been throwing Seed of Corruption around wherever possible and my DPS was up to 1100 at one point! I really must get some more gear and try out Sar's rotation.

On the Subject of instances that I'd not been into, I've also done Halls of Lightning, Violet Hold and a couple of others now. But their meaning is lost. That is why I wanted to do them in order.

To be continued...

Happy New Year.

No news, all posts still in draft form.

Just had to say Mage is up from level 49 to 54 purely on random dungeon tool and is loving it.

HolyWarrior picked up a > ilevel 213 weapon so is also happy.

I never updated the Winterveil achievement guide with 2009 changes. Google flameshock for those changes.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
