WoW 101

Successful SFK Run #1

By 4 Comments

We ran SFK Sunday afternoon like a group of pros, clearing it in 58 minutes with NO HEALERS. There were 2 deaths, and I was a tad overpowered at level 30, but I was very surprised we didn’t have more deaths in massive pulls that sometimes took 2 minutes for the action to die down.

This screenshot was taken after taking out 4 mobs and 3 pats. It was quite a “good grief” moment.

We had a group of 1 hunter, 1 mage, 1 warlock, and 2 rogues. All-out dps, basically, with the advantage of 2 pet tanks. It would have taken much longer to run it if I stuck around and skinned, as pretty much everything in SFK is skinnable.

Astranon got his Robes of Arugal and says that they fit quite nicely.

Ding 17; Revered with Tranquillien

By Leave a Comment

I hit Revered in level 16 and kept going about my business. I got some help from Jikksta to complete the Knucklerot quest. I only have the troll quests and the Deatholme quests left to go, and then it’s on to The Barrens.

I may have to grind a level at some point to get some extra spell damage since I get a good number of resists at times, depending on the level of the mobs that Joana’s guide calls out. Still, I hit 17 in under 11 hours of /played time.

I didn’t get to play all that long this weekend, but all things considered, another 2 levels is fine by me.

Ding 15; Halfway done with Ghostlands

By Leave a Comment

I have completed half of the quest steps for Ghostlands and attained Honored with Tranquillien.

Current /played times are:

Level 14: 7h 9m

Level 15: 8h 32m

Looks like I had some problems with level 14, and you’re right. I think I died 10-12 times doing quests while underpowered as a clothie. I was probably pushing it a bit and not being as careful as I should have been, though, as I’m used to being uber. 🙂

We are going to MacDill Airfest today, so no playing until tonight. I’ll take lots of pictures and put them up in the photo gallery.

Frostr is an Herbalism/Jewelcrafter

By 1 Comment

I didn’t do much last night except single quests with my Belfs. I had sent back my enchanted 2H axe back to Bloodr only to discover that she didn’t have a lick of skill with it. When I landed in Camp Turajo on my way to the excavation site to retrieve the Tear of the Moons for Feegly the Exiled, I started killing everything along the way with melee. I used wingclip to power-level and got it up to 125/150 by the time I got to Bael’dun.

I kid you not, I pulled the entire right side of the building all the way down to the man himself, General Twinbraid. I took a screenshot and forgot that I had his morning. There is a pile of bodies at the top of the stairs in his chamber that all fell in one gigantic pull. I had to pop one healing potion, but it was all Humar, bow, axe, and healing Humar. I’ll post it tonight or tomorrow in this post, I suppose. I killed the one remaining straggler, /laugh, and got the Tear, turned in, and logged in Frostr.

Mindkiller started a new Belf mage, too, so we ran for a while around the Academy [Read more…] about Frostr is an Herbalism/Jewelcrafter

Ding 64; Honored With Cenarian Expedition

By 7 Comments

Last night I finally found those Glowcaps and the Discarded Nutriment that I was looking for around Zangarmarsh. The glowcaps actually are everywhere, though I don’t know if you can pick them before attaining the quest without being an herbalist.

After those quests, soloing Boglash, and getting the “Count’s” mandible, I was at 99.9% xp, so I went and killed a Marsh Walker. [Read more…] about Ding 64; Honored With Cenarian Expedition

A New Twist On Old Content

By 11 Comments

We’ve all been hearing in podcasts and reading on the forums and blogs about how people starting to play the game today will never see the old level 60 content unless they make them harder and update the loot tables to present end-game lewt.

I have a new twist on it today. Granted, there isn’t a toon out there that can solo MC/BWL/Naxx…yet. But what about in 1, 2, or 3 expansions? Will a level 80 decked out in Tier 8 be able to do that? I think so. I would think that a Gruul’s Lair geared Warrior, Pally, Druid, or Mage would be able to take on Dire Maul, though I’m not sure about anything higher than that. The Baron and Co. might still pose a problem for one toon.
