Barking: Dark Iron Ale Mug

Subtitle: Get Your Jubling Pet Here.

Cold over at Cold's Gold Factory advocates aggressive barking for selling Mysterious Fortune Cards.

I agree and have had great sales with his techniques.

However, it's not just MFCs it works, no, is required for.

Enter stage left: Dark Iron Ale Mugs.

You will not sell these unless you advertise these.

During the Darkmoon Faire week I bark the following whenever I am in a city:

Get your Limited Edition [Jubling] RARE pet now while the Faire is in town. buy [Dark Iron Ale Mug] from AH and goto www.wowhead.com to find out what to do.

or if I'm feeling generous (and am going to be around for a while):

Get your Limited Edition [Jubling] RARE pet now while the Faire is in town. buy [Dark Iron Ale Mug] from AH and then /w me for instructions.

If so, then I use the following macro and hit it whenever someone asks what to do:
/r Go to Darkooon Fair
/r Find Morja
/r Use Dark Iron Ale Mug at her feet
/r wait for frog to appear
/r She will now gve a quest
/r accept quest use 2nd dark iron ale mug to complete.

Instead of little to no sales you get something like this:





What I usually fail to add is the 7 day hatch time on the frog :P

Can't Get Behind on the Firelands Dailies

Already about 10 days/2weeks/something behind on the new dailies and now we are going away for the weekend.

Gah!!

Simple solution, as we are not going until , well now really, I'll just get up very early this morning and get my dailes done.

I just about managed it before getting dragged out the door by the missus.

I'll be back in time on Sunday to get them done too!

All Kinds of Shit Still Sells!

Look at that: 156g for a gingerbread recipe.

Arakkoa feathers still sell well.

And Earthquake card for 3K

Yesterday I caught someone in /trade asking to buy a Tsunami card for 10K - I happily obliged seeing as the AH had mine as lowest at 12.5K.

All darkmoon cards are still selling well.

Ludicrous Speed Achievement - Easy Mode.

Very simple one here guys.

The thing with this achievement is you have to get a stack of 65 buffs and you can only get a maximum of 67 and the stack expires after 8 seconds; therefore very unforgiving.

You have to get all the birds very quickly. Obviously.

Except ... if you're in a raid you get the stacking buff but you don't get the quest credits so you can just keep on going until you manage to stack those buffs up to 65.

Firelands Achievements

Here we have a list of all the achievements obtainable from the new dailies area.

For my own benefit I have marked in Green ones I have got and Red I still have to do.

I will update this as things become clearer to me. If I have made a mistake please let me know. But for now a big shout out to Icy Veins for producing a Wicked Guide to Firelands Dailies.

All Over
Fireside Chat - talking to various NPCs will get you this achievement

Mount Hyjal: Sethria's Roost
Have... Have We Met? - wave at famous NPCs
The Fiery Lords of Sethria's Roost - Kill the four elites
Gang War - win a duel while on Protectors of Hyjal quest

Mount Hyjal: General
Ludicrous Speed - done while doing the Call the Flock quest. There are cheats available for this.
The 'Unbeatable?' Pterodactyl: BEATEN - This is a normal Mount Hyjal achievement that s done in the area. Go through the blue portal and do the Vigilante Wings quest or whatever 10 times.
And the Meek Shall Inherit Kalimdor - Do some things when doing part 1 of the critter quests.

• Angry Little Squirrel: next to the portal where you summon Pyrachnis and Millagazor in the Grove of Aessina, there is a fallen pine tree on which stand squirrels. Simply kite a fire elemental close to the tree and wait for a squirrel to throw a nut at it. When you hear the ponk sound, the objective will have been completed.
• Hyjal Bear Cub: during the Those Bears Up There quest, instead of sending a cub to the soft target, simply throw it at a sleeping Brimstone Hound to complete the objective.
• Alpine Songbird: complete Wings Aflame, the follow-up quest of Call the Flock.
• Child of Tortolla: during the Punting Season quest, punt a child of Tortolla at a Flame Terror instead of punting it in the water.
  

Infernal Ambassadors - Kill the part 2 critter quest elite quest mobs in a special way:

• Slay Pyrachnis without using the Emerald of Aessina. Pyrachnis' poison debuff can be removed with the quest item you receive Emerald of Aessina. Simply kill her without using it.
• Slay Millagazor without taking damage from Gout of Flames. Millagazor has an ability called Gout of Flame which creates a succession of fire spots on the ground that erupts after a few seconds. The ability follows you, so simply move out of the fire spots that form under you while killing him.
• Slay Lylagar without taking damage from Lylagar Breath. Lylagar has a fire breath ability. It has a cast time, which leaves you time to move out of the targeted area.
• Slay Galenges before he is weakened a second time. Galenges originally has a very large health pool and is regularly weakened by a spirit of Malorne. When weakened, Galenges takes 900% increased damage. You need to kill him before he is weakened for a second time.
• Slay Nemesis at Ashen Lake without taking damage from Molten Fury. Nemesis regularly cast a fire attack called Molten Fury. Avoid it by taking refuge under the shield that Tooga creates.

The Molten Front
Flawless Victory - Solo kill a Molten Behemoth without taking damage from Molten Stomp or Fiery Boulder.
The Molten Front Objective - you'll get there eventually!
Master of the Molten Flow - Shamans in their own flamewake thing. Don't take any damage from hunters barrage and kill a Sentinel while it is carrying a party member.

Druids of the Talon
Death From Above during the Fire in the Skies quest.

Shadow Wardens
King of the Spider-Hill - Use the Cinderweb Spinners to reach the top of the highest stone pillars. Attacking a Cinderweb Spinner will cause it to pull you to its location, enabling you to effectively climb to the top of the Spider Hill. Thank You Icy Veins.

While doing the Strike at the Heart quests, you can obtain the Ready for Raiding II achievement by avoiding the special abilities of the enemy you are faced with.

Finishing Up
Legacy of Leyara - completing Into the Depths is the final quest for this achievement. This requires you to have done ALL of your Marks of the World Tree collecting.

Veteran of the Molten Front - Complete all the other achievements.

Rewards

Mount: Flamweward Hippogryph -complete The Molten Front Objective

My First BoT!

Gonna enjoy the Google searches that get here!

Well, 2 days in and I've already missed a batch of Fireland dailies.

I was about to port over to Hyjal when I saw a call going out for healers for BoT.

I whispered him and told him I was i355 but had never been there. He said that was fine and threw me an invite. This was around 22:30 and I hadn't yet done any dailies.

At this point there was me, the leader, a couple of mates and a LAN party of 3 and we were looking for a healer and 2 dps.

At this point I was flying around BoT trying to find the entrance.

We eventually fill the raid and head in, but a dps is offline. I ask in guild chat and a lock is available so off we pop.

We one-shot the first 2 bosses with only 1 death on some trash. 3 pally healers FTW! Did I mention that?

We move through to the council and are about to start when all the LAN party guys go offline. Great!

We wait and wait, then we replace them and start the trash pull. This goes badly and we eventually wipe with the realisation that a healer is offline. Unsure whether he DC'd before fight or Alt-F4 we hang around for a bit.

It is now approaching 01:00 and people are getting restless; soon the guild lock has to leave and soon after it's raid implosion.

So, on the upside I've now seen the first 2 bosses of BoT and it felt, with the nerfs, more like an easy heroic. How much harder was it pre-4.2?

But, I did get another day behind with my Ireland dailies :(p

Firelands Progress

OK, so as of the date of writing it's is ..

a) Tuesday 12 July 2011
b) Day #15 of WoW patch 4.2 - Firelands
c) Day #2 of my finally getting round to doing the Firelands dailies

I will be using this page as a record of my progress with the dailies and the achievements.

Firelands Day #1

Oh yes kids, that's right. DAY ONE!!!

I am so with the times that I got with the firelands dailies as soon as I could. NOT!

Months ago I finished Hyjal. Not as part of levelling you understand. I levelled through Vagbush, then moved onto Deepholm.

Once I had hit level cap which I believe I achieved in Uldum I then spent no little amount of time pottling around doing bugger all. I heard about 4.2 and went and did Hyjal to be ready for 4.2 as well as to get the rep, exploration and loremaster stuff done before moving back to Uldum and then Twilight Highlands.

Yes, thats right. I WAS prepared - fuck you Illidan. Sooo 4.2 rolls in and I'm straight onto the quests so that I am one of the first on my server with the recipes aren't I?

Nope. I manage to do half the Thrall quests on day one and get bored, finish him off a day or so later!!

Dailies? I started them last night!

So, I get through the prequests and unlock the vendor and get really pissed off.

He is selling upgrades to the tanking boots and the healing neck that I have just ground out Wildhammer Rep to get :(


Replaces Lightning Flash Pendant.


Replaces Gryphon Rider's Boots.

Yes I got both of the on Friday. Yes this pisses me off. ARSE!

Blizzard Took An Honesty Pill

I believe a picture is worth a thousand words ...


Yeah, that's about right. Maybe even a little optomistic :P

45 Exalted Reputations

So Thursday night I was about 2500 rep off Wildhammer Clan exalted. So I popped my dailies then queued for a normal heroic.

2nd boss down and ...



Once I had crashed out of the loser PUG heroic with the excuse that the baby was crying I went and bought up my targetted equipment...

DD Spec


Holy Spec


Tank Spec
