Grinding Netherwing faction in Wrath of the Lich King

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Getting a Netherwing drake is quite a bit easier now that Northrend has appeared. It's a good job, too, because when I migrated to a new server I wasn't sure if I had the constitution to replace the two I left behind on beloved characters. The promise of ...

And nothing of value was lost

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

My guild was hoping to get another instance run going at the weekend, at about the same time as my death knight was running around for the Wyrmrest Accord and gaining 75th level. With four players on-line with characters 75th or above we start planning, everyone keen to try ...

Will grind for dragon mount

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

I haven't kept it much of a secret that I have found the level-based restrictions and pointless content-unlocking quest chains rather frustrating, to the point where I am enjoying my own corner of nostalgic glee in grinding for the Netherwing Drake. Melmoth heeds my disatisfaction, 'Lo, if you want ...

Arbitrary snapshot of history

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Those charming fellows with the British accents over at Killed in a Smiling Accident tagged me to post the sixth picture in my screen grabs folder. I was hoping for an interesting and stimulating trip down memory lane as I worked my way to the sixth image in my World of ...

The Netherwing grind is better than Northrend questing

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

I recently made enough gold to buy artisan riding for Sapphire, with a little left over for more auction house speculation, and I have started the reputation grind for the Netherwing Drake flying mount. With my protestation over the heavy restrictions and limitations in Northrend questing it is fair ...

No rush to 80

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Having installed the Wrath of the Lich King expansion within a couple of days of its release and loaded it almost daily since then I think it is fair to say that with only two 74th level characters I am in no rush to reach the new level cap. ...

Protection warrior versus death knight tanks

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Spinks brings up an interesting point about different tanks in World of Warcraft, where a protection warrior will output less damage per second (DPS) than, for example, a death knight when both classes are in a tanking rôle. If a different class does more DPS whilst tanking there is ...

The value of labour

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Heading in to New Eden I say hello to a couple of new corporation colleagues and pick up my newly completed production run of missiles to put on the market. Jumping in to my Badger's pod I take the missiles to the system and station that has proved lucrative ...

Finding Dalaran

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

I find myself in Northrend with no particular agenda, so I indulge the explorer in me for a while. Travelling northerly through Dragonblight eventually has me crossing in to Crystalsong Forest, where I spy some interesting ruins to investigate. My exploration pays off, as I reach the city ...

Supressing The Nexus with low DPS

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

The guild run in to The Nexus goes ahead as planned. I take my warrior, Sapphire, as the tank and the mage is replaced by a death knight alt, otherwise the group remains the same, with a hunter and another warrior as DPS and a priest to heal. ...
