Slowly Gaining Aldor Reputation with Marks of Kil’jaeden

March 8, 2007 By Gitr 5 Comments

I ventured out into the Bone Wastes this morning with 3 things on my mind: Marks of Kiljaeden, Netherweave Cloth, and killing 20 Bonelashers.

I needed to get 10 Marks of Kil’jaeden over to Adyen the Lightwarden in Shattrath City for finishing the first quest in that repeatable faction rep questline. I read somewhere that I need to turn in 22 stacks of 10 for 5500 rep with Aldor. This will take a while.

I ended up with 10 Marks of Kil’jaeden, 10 Netherweave Cloth, 7 Bonelashers, and the Cabal Report to turn in at the caravan.

I was getting pretty good drop rate from just about every Cabal Skirmisher, but I don’t recall any Cabal Anjurist dropping them. I only saw 2 Cabal Tomb-Raider dudes, so it’s a bit too early for me to tell if they do…without checking Thottbot, which I won’t. 🙂

Considering Dropping Mining for Enchanting

March 8, 2007 By Gitr 10 Comments

Okay, okay, I’m tired of shelling out so much money for crafting Imbued Netherweave Bags. They require 8 Arcane Dusts each, which comes out to 15-20g per bag on my server. Greens drop on a regular basis in Outlands, and I don’t think getting through to the enchanting trainer in Uldaman. Actually, does anyone know if it is even necessary to go there since there is a Master Enchanting Trainer in Shattrath City?

Mining is all and good, but you have to farm for spawns of ore and I’d have to go out and finish up my last 29 points until I can start mining where I’m playing. Greens are everywhere when you kill and you can get them on the AH and as quest rewards that aren’t any good. I’ve got a chest, belt, and 2 pair of boots that I don’t really want to use, plus a bunch of weapons that aren’t going to match my dagger and wand combo right now. I might as well do something with them.

What do you say? Tailor/Enchanting with Aldor combo?

Deadr Is a Mooncloth Tailor – A How-To Guide

March 8, 2007 By Gitr Leave a Comment

I visited Nasmara Moonsong in Lower City of Shattrath last night to pick up a much cheaper copy of Primal Mooncloth than what was listed in the AH. To my delight, it was only a 4g recipe. I saw that she was also a questgiver, and one for a tailoring specialty, to boot. I checked the other two specializations of Tailoring and picked Mooncloth for one reason, I want to be able to use the bags that I craft. The Shadowcloth 20-slot bag is for Warlocks only. I am obviously drawn to the power of those crafted pieces with +Shadow dmg, but what the heck good is a bag that I can’t use. Besides, I can always use the +Healing gear in instances that take just a bit more umph for healing while remaining Shadow spec for VE healing and soloing.

Back to Moonsong. She’s located at 66,69 in Shattrath City and gives the quest Becoming a Mooncloth Tailor. She gives you a Square of Imbued Netherweave, which you need to take to the moonwell in Cenarian Refuge in Zangarmarsh. That done, I received 11,000xp and became a Mooncloth Tailor. Want more details? Read on.

Going Dual-screen

I hooked up my second monitor yesterday after my wife went to bed to test out playing with 2 monitors and putting the non-essential info on the side monitor. I like it! I like it a LOT! Next up is a serious upgrade, because my framerate took a big hit (about half) in the name of a clear playing area.

Warning, this full-size image is 250k if you’re on dial-up.

Deadr Finally got Guild Help with Elite Quests

March 5, 2007 By Gitr Leave a Comment

Last night I helped out a couple of fellow guildies with their elite quests in Lower City in Shattrath, so when all was said and done, I asked for some help in return. I got some major quests out of the way and boosted myself to 32% of the way through level 63.

I was searching for Ironjaw when I got called away, so we headed back there because I had also spotted the corpse of Stonegazer. I needed Stonegazer’s Blood for a group quest. He hadn’t spawned yet, so we we sought out Ironjaw and I got his pelt, then we took out Stonegazer. Natur was kind enough to ask if there were any other quests that I needed assistance with.

Ding 63; Making a Fortune with Bags

March 5, 2007 By Gitr 3 Comments

It was quite a weekend. I’ll put it into several posts today to break things up. Saturday my wife got a cross-stitching pattern we bought on eBay, so she needled away as I played some wonderful WoW blissfully for 2-3 hours. I’m not sure if I dinged on Saturday or Sunday now, because the 2 days’ gaming was so similar, as I got to play again in the afternoon on Sunday.

As I mentioned before, I can craft Netherweave Bags for about 5g each, depending on that moment’s price on cloth, and then they all sell for about 9g 50s, leaving me with a hefty profit. I must have crafted 150 bags this weekend, with 4 of them being Imbued Netherweave Bags selling for 40g each.
