Deadr Finds Sporeggars Friendly

March 22, 2007 By Gitr 7 Comments

I met quite a few nice sporeggars last night in Zangarmarsh. They look funny, but they give lots of rep for killing things and they have several repeatable quests. I find it odd that they don’t take my gold. They want these silly little things called Glowcap Mushrooms instead. I killed dozens of their marsh tormentors and found lots of Mature Spore Sacs to make them like me, and then the little buggers wanted mushrooms! How rude.

/RP over (I suck at it)

Basically, I was killing everything in sight in that area of Zangarmarsh, even the non-aggressive Spore Bats to get Fertile Spores. I really like that you can have 3 repeatable turn-ins for rep. I’ve never, ever, ever just stayed in an area and killed stuff to gain rep before. I really want a few of the things that they offer, there aren’t any Alliance around, and I’m getting 1,300xp per kill in the process. Here is a look at Deadr’s current rep list for Outland:

That’s It! Time to Bust Out Deadr Again!

I’ve been spending all day on my new favorite site: AmpWow.com. I found it to be unblocked by our firewall so far */crosses fingers* and have been looking up as much as possible on rep, loot, and quests. After I get Bloodr to 28 tonight (after about 30 minutes of satyr slaying in Ashenvale) I will put her away for the time being, except for guild events.

Why the sudden and drastic single-mindedness? Glad you asked. Allow me to get you excited, too. [Read more…] about That’s It! Time to Bust Out Deadr Again!

What Is Your Dream Look?

Some people, myself included are really freaking out about how they look now that they are getting random greens and blues from TBC instances. It’s a total mish-mash of colors and styles. Shoot, just look at me recently wearing a stinking wolf head on my noggin. It’s just not cool

I got into WoW Model Viewer last night and pulled up the sets I aspire toward with Deadr and Bloodr. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get them, but I suppose there might be some comparably cool-looking quest pieces later. What is the look you’re going for?

E-mail me your model viewer screenshots and I’ll post them up in your comments.

Enchanting Edging Closer to 300

March 20, 2007 By Gitr 14 Comments

I made enough money off bags and essences yesterday that I went on a Dream Dust DEing spree last night. I was getting armor for under 2g 50s each for 1-5 Dream Dust. I managed to get enough dust to get me to 292 this morning.

Tonight I will go for enough Illusion Dust and Small Brilliant Shards to use my new Enchant Chest – Major Health enchant to get to 300. Thankfully it doesn’t require the Runed Arcanite Rod because the Arcanite Rod costs over 95g on Burning Legion. There were only 2 posted last night, so I’ll bide my time until it’s absolutely necessary.

It’s probably not going to be too difficult to get Bloodr to 28 in Ashenvale by hunting for Satyr Horns, because their drop rate is pitiful. I’m not sure it will happen tonight because of getting home late from work and watching TV later, but it will be very soon.

I had quite a weekend, what with my wife being tired and all. I got to play Saturday afternoon and a little on Sunday before my scheduled guild time. More on that a bit later. I got up 2 more levels, got Deadr back up over 300g and to 288 Enchanting, and made some UI changes.

First, and easiest, I changed my screen resolution to nearly double the vertical pixels and strangely noticed a slight increase in my framerate. ~hmmm~ It must be the aspect ratio that was not kind to my video card; some non-native scanning that was driving it bonkers. I used to have bouts of 4-8 fps, but after the change, I never saw it less than 11, even outside. I like it. I like it. So will you, as my screenshots of items and text will be much nicer.

Next, the biggest dueling jerk ever. [Read more…] about Ding 26; Ding 27; Dueling Adventures; New Resolution

Ding 24; Caught Back up From Enchanting Spending

March 14, 2007 By Gitr 4 Comments

I hit 24 this morning hunting cats and cloud serpents behind Freewind Post. It didnt’ take more than 20 minutes. I spent my talent point in Beast Mastery again. I took some pretty good screenshots, but forgot to upload them for processing. It will have to wait until tomorrow. Sorry. 🙂

I came home to over 270g in my Inbox from AH sales. I was fairly certain that it would be a big repost day because of the server maintenance, but apparently everyone went to buy bags and enchanting supplies when the servers came back online.

The price of cloth prevented me from making more than 9 bags last night, so sales should cool off a tad bit, but I got some really good deals on greens that I DE’d for nice profits.
