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.

Post Pending Later This Morning

It’s going to be a crazy morning at work. I’ve got a presentation with my boss’ boss and possibly the VP today to show off my database and its use and value to the Company. I’m working furiously to complete the hacked switchboards I made (over 200 buttons with queries, reports, exporting, and hyperlinked HTML files) so that it ALL works in case one of them wants to drive and I can’t control what gets clicked on.

I had a great weekend and hit 63 with Deadr and am rocking the realm with Netherweave bags to the tune of 400g. I’ll post more after 10:00 Eastern after the meeting.

Ways to Handle Beggars

March 3, 2007 By Gitr 10 Comments

I figured out a brilliant (IMHO) way to get rid of a beggar in a major city. I was crafting at the time when a level 13 rogue came up to me and asked if I could spare some change. I waiting until I was done crafting, /sat, and /afk’d. LOL. It took him about 2 seconds to turn away and run to the next 60+ to ask for money.

I relayed this incident to my wife, and she was astonished that “there are bums in WoW.” She doesn’t get it. Along the lines with people paying to get power leveled while they are at work, she doesn’t understand why someone would play to not play. If you are playing, why would you not want to get your own stuff? Her best quote was, “it’s not like they are homeless, right?” I followed that up with, “and I’ll bet their fingers aren’t broken.”

What do you do when you get a whisper and they are standing right there watching you?

Considering a New Build: Disc/Shadow

March 2, 2007 By Gitr 5 Comments

After listening to the WoWPodcast episode about priests today (3 times), I have decided to add a few Discipline talents to my bag of tricks. I spent enough time looking at all of the options, I think I have a good balance between damage, mana-regen/conservation, and casting ability while under attack.

Here is how it breaks down, and then I’ll explain my reasoning on Monday after playing with it for a while. Of course, this is a level 70 build, so mine will be missing 8 points for now.

Idol Predictions: 75% Accurate

March 2, 2007 By Gitr Leave a Comment

According to yesterday’s post, American Idol: Week 2 Women’s Night, I was 3 of 4 on my guesses for those getting voted off.

It is becoming quite clear that this season is more about being popular than being a good (or great) singer with some of the ones that really are not up to snuff.

I believe that both A.J. was better than Brandon and Sanjaya just plain sucked worse than all of them Tuesday night. He had no power, no presence, but he did stand out. Like Simon says, [Read more…] about Idol Predictions: 75% Accurate
