With a recent successful pick-up group run through Azjol-Nerub with my death knight I feel more comfortable about tanking the instance with my warrior, Sapphire. I manage to get in to another pick-up group and we all enter the instance. During the run I find that I am ...

The interesting part of my two recent instance runs is how adaptable the death knight is to the two rôles of tanking and spanking. Simply by changing presences the death knight is viable in both rôles, although holding two sets of suitable equipment is necessary to be effective. ...

In World of Warcraft my warrior, Sapphire, has been through The Nexus with a pick-up group (PuG) as well as going on a guild run of Utgarde Keep. My death knight, Gnomesblight, on the other hand, has yet to experience an instance in Northrend. With the guild's successful ...

I haven't really done much in the way of instances in Northrend yet. This is because my small guild has been a little fragmented over the holidays, my taking time to level a death knight through Outlands and somehow perservering with her mining and blacksmithing skills, even before the ...

In the World of Warcraft patch notes for 3.0.8: Mining veins and deposits no longer require multiple hits to receive all the ore. Players will receive around the same amount of ore, stone, and gems they would have received from multiple hits.
And it's about time! Other gathering professions ...

Having wreaked some mayhem and destruction with my death knight out in Howling Fjord I ride back to civilisation. As I do so I notice a night elf on a sabre mount ahead of me, riding to the same village. There is nothing particularly curious about a night ...

I am determined not to let my professions lag behind me on my journey through Northrend, however unlikely it will be that I can keep them synchronised with my level. First, I need to get them to a stage where I can train to the grand master level and ...

Everyone knows about Leeroy Jenkins. He is notorious enough that there is now an achievement in World of Warcraft based on his fifteen minutes of total party killing fame. Being the optimistic types, rather than having the achievement require pulling the whole room of whelps in Upper Blackrock ...
