Today’s Quest Log Is Full

February 6, 2007 By Gitr 6 Comments

I have been gathering quests everywhere I go and completing all of the kill this, and collect that, and see him quests that I can find. Now it is getting to the point where I have to get some help to complete some buddy quests.

I’m really getting ticked about the scarabs that spawn when I try to transmute the Blood for Boiling Blood, but I think I’m going to clear the whole stinking area and SW: Pain them to death until I get my 12. I have 4 already, so it’s just a matter of determination without having an AOE damage effect.

Slow Posting Day…Crazy Day at Work

February 6, 2007 By Gitr 6 Comments

Some days are like this. I’m pretty much on-call a lot in the office for the emergency documents or the trouble with Word getting it to cooperate with the authors’ end goals. I usually do big documents that let me really dig in and work on them for days at a time. I really enjoy knowing what I’ll be doing tomorrow.

Gitr’s GUI for Happy Minimalistic Playing

February 6, 2007 By Gitr 2 Comments

I finally decided to put all of my addons together into a package for all of you who commented on it last week. You can take and leave anything in there, but I highly recommend trying all of them. It includes 15 or so Ace2 addons, so you can get the WoWAceUpdater to keep them going smoothly.

I hope you like it, and drop me a line with your reactions to my compilation. Even an Irish in Denmark might want to use this package.

Ding 61, Entered Shattrath City, Allegiance Pending

February 5, 2007 By Gitr 6 Comments

I can’t decide which allegiance to go for, so I’m not choosing yet. My +dmg is around 250 now. One funny story: a priest named Healzez asked me for a port to Org. He was kind enough to call himself an idiot.

I finished quite a few quests to get that much XP before dinner. I have reached the end of about 5 quests that are all 2-man quests with elite mobs now. It’s a bit frustrating because most of the guild is in other zones already, but I’ll get them somehow. I really want to kill those big red guys by the Fallen Sky crystal.

I got in on another Ramparts run, my fourth, with Travi, a guildie Mage. We had a 65 tank and a 64 druid. The druid wanted to heal. I went all out damage with Vampiric Embrace. Here is what that yielded, #1 overall Damage+Healing:

Be Careful on the Roads in Outlands

February 5, 2007 By Gitr 4 Comments

Has anyone else noticed that the roads are no longer safe? It used to be a very odd mob that would make your life miserable by sticking to the roads. I can recall Stitches in Duskwood, the Runners in Winterfall, and Rexxar wiping out Alliance people on the roads in Northern Feralas and Desolace.

I found it to be a much different case in Outlands. There are not only mobs that aggro like crazy to like-level toons running about their business on the roads, but they daze you, causing you to fight them. Is anyone else as bugged by this?

Hellfire Ramparts Is my New Deadmines

February 5, 2007 By Gitr 3 Comments

I can’t count how many times I have run Deadmines with my various Alliance toons, and I am getting the sense that Hellfire Ramparts will soon be that kind of instance. To make such a statement is in no way a slam, as I still find Deadmines to be an incredibly fun instance. The boss fights are varied, creative in their abilites, and for the level, the loot is pretty darn good. You’re not going to find a better ring or wand from questing at that level.

Yet Ramparts is not quite as varied as Deadmines. So it is curious that I am enjoying it so much. I like the constant multiple pulls, mana conservation as a healer, and the boss fights are the best I’ve personally seen outside of ZG and MC. Granted, I was not a hardcore raider with Gitr, but I would expect that many many players taking a liking to Ramparts are not, either.

Let’s do a quick rundown of the bosses for Ramparts:
