Netherwing Progress

Wednesday 16th April 2008

EvilBastard is still plodding along through the Netherwing dailies and of course he 2-boxes with HolyWarrior following behind to double the inbound gold from the same play-time :)

This is his current status with Netherwing.


Half way through revered - woohoo!

Paladin Trinket

Someone linked this trinket into guild chat. Not a bad trinket at all. The only drawback being that you have to be EXALTED with Ashtongue Deathsworn. You get a little bit of rep by completing the end of the BT attunement quest I believe, but you really have to be runnning Black Temple a bit to hit Exalted.

Currently my rep is looking like this...

Spellstrike Hood

Wednesday 16th April 2008

Tonight I couldn't wait any longer, I bought a few Primals that I didn't have and got the last of my Primal Might's made and handed them over to a relative stranger...


...and got my Spellstrike hood made - woohoo!

Time to start working on my Belt of Blasting!

MH - 2/?

Tuesday 15th April 2008

That means Mount Hyjal 2 bosses down out of ??? 6 is it?


Tonight we took down AnEnema - woot!!

If I remember correctly we took him out on attempt 2. ALthough we may have had 2 or 3 stupid trash wipes inbetween attemps 1 and 2. I can't remember!


He dropped only these 2 epix and 2 badges.

Badge total: 136

Auction House Fun

Monday 14th April 2008

I spend a little time in the auction house, I often pick up some bargains. I've got a good eye for selling too. Take this little money make for instance. You can pick this recipe up actually INSIDE Stormwind for less than a gold and then sell it on the auction House.

Warlocks needed the actual elixirs for the level 60 epic mount quest so alchemists probably made a killing on them. The elixir is still not too shabby now. When the local 'tards who think they are being cleaver aren't selling it for 4-7 gold I sell it regularly for 20 gold - yes TWENTY gold!!

OK, there goes my best kept auction house secret!

When I was grinding Netherweb Spide Silk I picked up quite a few Dreadfang Venom Sacks, you need these to change aldor/scryer faction so they sell quite well. I put a reasonably well sized batch on and made a few gold here too.

Someone was obviously desparate for fire resistance. I can't imagine why though!


But best of all was this gem that I found. Auctioneer flagged it as 130 gold profit on an outlay of 117gold. Check out those IMBA stats!!


/sarcasm mode off

The real bargain of the weekend was this. Again Auctioneer flagged it up as 1900 gold profit on an outlay of 120 gold. I quickly checked wowhead (grrr) and thotbot and it looked like auctioneer was right about the profit margin. Screw whether it was good for reselling - I want this for EvilBastard to equip and I'd say that's a bargain for 120gold!

I got NicePallyClassLeader to put a +40 Spell Damage Enchant on it. While she was at it I got her to stick the same enchant on my tanking sword that I got ages ago but never enchanted it!

We Have Some Very Nice Guildies

Day Off

Sunday 13th April 2008

Friday night I went out IRL - shock horror.

Saturday morning I got my Netherwing dailies done and then remembered to hand in the time-phased phylactery to Akama that I've had since Tuesday...


Then it was time to do RL things with my kid.

I had planned a day off from WoW today and had consumed many ales at the local where a friends mother's 60th birthday party was occuring. I got home at around 17:30 and logged in to immediately get an invite to the TK raid.

They were on Solarian and need a healer, so in I popped and 15 minutes later I was another 1/4 of my DKP lighter (1/2 of what remained after last purchase) but had finally replaced my mail healing belt with Girdle of the Righteous Path!

During the course of the raid the badge vendor arrived in Quel'Danas, apparently it was absolute mayhem and you could not click on the vendor. The Horde were flagging PvP so that as soon as an alliance would click on them trying to click the vendor they would instigate combat and get pwned by the NPC guards!!

I went to have a look after the raid but it was still chaos.

Badge Total: 134

I didn't raid in the evening as I was far too drunk by then but the guild managed to down Rage WinterPrick again.

I went back to the badge vendor at 23:00 and it had calmed down a lot, but was still busy.

Guild First

Thursday 10th April 2008

Having been doing the odd SSO daily HolyWarrior picked up a Badge of Justice from the Shattered Sun Supplies. Nice. Badge total: 122.

Enough SSO onto SSC...

For the first time ever the guild downed the first 5 bosses of SSC in one night, we had to go over raid time a little but if we'd started on time that wouldn't have been a problem.

An hour in, Hydross down (1 shot).

20 minutes later Lurker down (1 shot).

30 minutes later Leo down - dropped my T5 gloves and I blew half my DKP on them. Ouch. But now I have Crystalforge Gloves - woot! (1 shot)

1 hour later Karathress down - dropped NO paladin T5 legs :( This is where I was prepared to blow the other half of my DKP. (1 shot)

20 minutes later and a very nice rogue pull to clear the trash and Morogrim down. (1 shot).

First time ever to go 5/6 in 3 hours and no wipes. 1 shot each boss!!!

Badge total: 132

Netherwing Progresson EvilBast...

Thursday 10th April 2008

Ole EvilBastard has been busy busy busy with Netherwing dailies trying to get every single one done each day.

He usually manages it and has just reached Revered - woohoo - only 21,000 rep to go :(

New Gear Goals

So, now that EB picked up the Trial Fire Trousers he can put the spellstrike pants on the backburner which is nice!

So the first target is the Spellstrike Hood. He has the shadowcloth converted into spellcloth already and has the primal nether from the heroic run last week.


So all he needs to do is finish collecting the primals for the primal mights. Worst case scenario is TiceNits making 1 a day so thats the start of next week.

The we need to gem up the trialfire trousers and the hood. That's 6 gems. A runic spellthread in the trousers would be nice too. Thats a load of primal mana and a primal nether too. Ouch.

The primals for the hood are coming along nicely, if I can find someone in the guild who is willing to craft it then I may just buy any remaining primals. Once that is done it is time for...


This is apparently the best belt before Sunwell Plateau even for Affliction Warlocks I am going to have to buy the Nether Vortices so it will cost upwards of 800 gold. I hope it's worth it!

Looks like I'll need to re-evaluate my mat collecting.
