Version 4.0 of my Database Released; Meeting in 20 Minutes

March 8, 2007 By Gitr 13 Comments

I have a meeting with my boss and our director (her boss) about integrating my db with the SharePoint site and tracking documents from their contract date onward instead of just their due dates. Yesterday’s new release was a smashing success and I incorporated User Security so we can distribute access to other people in the Company for Read-Only access. (no pictures this time, sorry)

At the end of our quarterly lunch, I mozied over to talk to our VP (the director’s boss) and mentioned my upcoming plans for the db (of which he was made aware of last month) and he was pretty darn interested in developing it further…yeah…let’s make my career do the same thing…

Time to go take care of my nervous bladder and head on over to the other side of the building.

Help me out; Riding Skills Information

March 8, 2007 By Gitr 8 Comments

Ok. I suck. I’m at work. I’ve got firewalls out the ying-yang, and I can’t access any information on riding skills in a nice, concise, un-blocked place. What do I need to get a Flying mount at 70? What do I need for a fast flying mount at 70? Should I go ahead and get the fast riding skill from Undercity or Org where I’m Honored and buy a fast horsie first?

I dunno. I’m too busy playing at night 😉

A Monopoly on Netherweave Bags

March 8, 2007 By Gitr 6 Comments

When my cohort, Bloodaxel, logged in last night, we chatted for a while on what to do with my selling him bags and such. He wanted me to sell them to him for less. I told him that the 12 bags I just sent him cost me more because the price of cloth was higher last night.

He replied with a loud: “WTF BUYING??!!” He thought I was farming 12 bags’ worth of cloth twice a day, I guess. Sha….right. I have a life! Once he got it clear that my price was determined by the market, he agreed to let me sell them along with him as long as we don’t sell lower than the other. In fact, we are going to buy out everyone lower than x amount and let the other between that price and ours sell out or expire. He said they have been buying them at that price for ages, even when I was low-balling him. This morning, we were the only ones selling Netherweave Bags. 🙂 Now that I’m farming for cloth, my profits should get much nicer.

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.
