Show Me the Money!

February 9, 2010

Please join me in congratulating Euripides on being selected as the new Auction House columnist for wow.com!  I look forward to him helping me get rich in WoW.

Of course he could save himself a lot time and effort by just e-mailing me a bunch of his gold (Daddy Dark needs a new pair of shoes) :P .

Congratulations!

The Lich King Doesn’t Have a Daughter

February 3, 2010

For if he did, he’d surely have a shotgun stowed somewhere in that giant citadel of his.  Loot from the Lich King can now be found on the Armory and on sites such as Wowhead.com.

Despite that fact that there is not gun in ICC (25), the Lich King does have some nice things for us.  Once again the crossbow and the polearm are king.

25-Man

10-Man

It’s weird, ICC (10) has a bow, gun and crossbow.  Odd that ICC (25) should not.  Too bad Arthas and Jaina didn’t have a little more time together.

Good Hunting!

Three Enchants to Consider

January 25, 2010

Today I wanted to cover three enchants that you may want to consider as part of your raiding set.  These are Cat’s Swiftness, Tuskarr’s Vitality and the Biznicks 247×128 Accurascope.

The first two come at the expense of some DPS enchants, and the last one is so old school it may be hard to get, but they’re all worth a look. Read the rest of this entry »

Giving Her All She’s Got

January 22, 2010

Scotty: “I’m giving her all she’s got, Captain!”

Kirk: “All she’s got isn’t good enough!  What else have you got?”

_

Last night our raid team attempted Festergut (25).  Nine attempts in all, and at the end of the night he was still standing. It wasn’t a total waste of effort and we did reach the point where it was the enrage timer that was killing us. Two attempts had him at 7% and 6%. Read the rest of this entry »

Late Night Raiding

January 20, 2010

I’m tired and grumpy today.  One of the perils of being in a 25-man progression guild is that there is little or no time to run ICC (10).  When there is an ICC (10) run it’s usually a late-night affair starting after 11pm server time, and ending at an hour that a working professional many years out of college has no business being awake.

Currently we raid 25-man ICC four nights a week.  We’re not good enough to just plow through the place in two nights, so until we get our rears in gear we’re committed to four nights.

Now I know what you’re thinking, they’re seven days in the week so that should leave three nights free for ICC (10). Well contrary to popular belief I do need to go outside occasionally and interact with other carbon based lifeforms.  The three non-raid nights don’t lend themselves to raiding.

I’m mentally preparing myself for ditching ICC (10) or getting by with massive sleep deprivvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Waltzing Matilda

January 8, 2010

Okay, I recently discovered that you don’t have to form a raid group and enter the Icecrown Citadel raid instance to purchase your T10 gear.  There’s a cute little dwarf in Dalaran who will be happy to take your emblems and tokens and hand you your T10.

Matilda Brightlink is a mail armor merchant and she can be found in the armor shop between the fishing fountain and the South Bank in Dalaran.  This is the same shop where we purchased our other tier gear.  Why the same dwarf, who we’ve been going to this whole expansion, couldn’t sell the T10 is beyond me, but there you go.

Have a great weekend folks!
