What is the dumbest thing you’ve done in-game?

January 11, 2007 By Gitr 5 Comments

Let’s help out any noobs that come here looking for wisdom. We’ve all made stupid, stupid mistakes at some point.

I’ll lead the way, with my tail between my legs:

I had just learned how to transmute Heart of Fire into Elemental Fire and was buying up mats in the AH. I had recently sold a stack of 5 Arcanite Bars and had a ton of money. I saw several listings that were cheap and selected the top listing because the whole area was riddled with 80s-90s listings. Unfortunately, the top listing was a bid of 79s and a buyout of 90g, not silver. I accepted my buyout, assuming it was 90s. Ouch.

Things I am looking forward to this year

January 11, 2007 By Gitr 4 Comments

I hate New Year’s Resolutions! They are so cliche and totally untrustworthy when someone says they are going to do something this year. My first reaction is to say, “yeah, right,” and my second reaction is to not pay attention to what they say their resolution is.

Some weirdo was on our Tampa news radio station last week saying that you need to tell yourself that it is a promise, not a resolution, but that is crap too. Major, legal, binding promises are broken by more than 50% of the population: divorce.

This list is different, as it is a list of what is expected to happen this year, not what I am going to “try” to change or accomplish.

  • Attending summer session at USF. 
  • Paying off my car.
  • Getting my wife settled in a new job that uses her degree.
  • Our first anniversary.
  • My first trip to Canada.
  • Working my butt off to get another promotion.
  • Tapping into whatever it is that I will use to “make a difference.”

What are you going to do with your life this year?

Vacationing in Winterspring this year

January 11, 2007 By Gitr Leave a Comment

I remember this stage of my development with Gitr vividly. Ice Thistle Yetis, running around the lake, avoiding the spirits, hunting bears and cats, and then doing suicide run after suicide run in the cave with the dragonspawn to get teleported to the top of the mountain. It was February 9th, 2006, almost 1 year ago.

Now, The Burning Crusade is coming out, and Deadr is nearly halfway to 54, and getting his Devout Gloves to get a +200 Armor bonus. I would already have the Devout Belt, but no one has posted it in the AH yet.

I got ganked while hunting the Shamans and Ursas. I had just finished killing a level 57 Ursa, had about 240 mana, and got a bright flash of light coming out of my head toward the heavens, and I dropped dead. I saw a Moonkinned level 60 stand there for a few seconds and run off. Thanks, buddy.

I finished the 10 Thick Yeti Hides, and killed about 10 Ice Thistle Matriarchs and Patriarchs in the cave before I decided that I should go to work and get paid instead of playing a game. No one had dropped a Pristine Yeti Horn yet. I saw that the drop rate was around 2%…this will get some XP to finish the quest. It might be a better use of my time for XP’s sake to move on.

Ice Thistle Yetis, Ursius, and Winterfall Ursas

January 10, 2007 By Gitr 2 Comments

I flew into Winterspring this morning because the Winterfall quest mobs are East of Everlook. I picked up the quest to kill Ursius, which, if he is level 56, I should be able to solo him with no problem. I read that he has 12K HP, but I can blast through that as long as he doesn’t resist everything.

I killed about 6 Yetis and got 2 Thick Yeti Furs . I have all 8 Den Watchers that I need, but I’m having to pick my way through to get to Shamans and Ursas that are low enough and far enough away from patrols. I can kill the 57 Ursas, and I’m not sure I want to try to kill a 58 with how many resists I get from the 57s.

I logged off with 10% of the level done already. Brighthouse is coming over between 11 and 2 today to install out HD-DVR, so I’ll play until he comes.

Ding 53…racking up the quests, bags are full

January 9, 2007 By Gitr 2 Comments

I am constantly comparing what dropped to what is in my bags. I think there are a few things in the bags that were for quests that stayed in there when I turned them in. I need to research those.

I went to Felwood and turned in a quest and got salve for corrupted flowers. I met a 56 mage hunting the felpaw village residents by Timbermaw hold. We completed that quest and I ran to Winterspring again and got a quest to kill those guys for more rep and XP. After a while, a vial dropped, which I handed to the dwarf by the hot springs.

I still have more of them to kill for the guy on the other side of Timbermaw hold, but I’ll get some rest built up first. I’m halfway to Neutral.

I bought a Dreadmist Belt, and a Ring of Bitter Shadows which totally rock!
