Just Dinged 80 and Already Raiding

I just got back from visiting my parent’s house for the Thanksgiving Day Weekend, and logged on. I have been level 79 now since the Wednesday before, but haven’t had a chance to play due to the holidays. Guild message shows that there was a raid tonight for 25 man Naxxramas, The Eye of Eternity, [...]

Replaced My First Piece of Gear!

So finally at level 77, and half way to 78, I’ve found something to replace one of my pieces of gear. Ever since I’ve stepped foot onto Northrend, I’ve been choosing Plate and 2 Handed Weapons as quest rewards since they vendor for more than Cloth gear rewards. This time, while doing a instance run [...]

For the Alliance!

It was around 8 in the morning for me, which is around 5am for the server I play on. A guildie asks in guild chat that he was looking for a few more players to raid the Horde Captials. I was only level 74 at the time, but sure what the heck. I joined the [...]

Tuna Takes Over as the New “Crazy Cat Lady”

There is a cooking recipe which makes [Critter Bites], which allows you to have any critter you come across become your minion for 3 minutes. While as your minion, they act as any normal non-combat pet, and will follow you around. The best thing is, that you can have as many out as you can.
To [...]

Frost Mage PvE: Grand Magus Telestra

Grand Magus Telestra is a high elf, who is one of the Mages of the Kirin Tor who has sided with Malygos, in order to retain her arcane powers. She is one of the bosses of The Nexus, and could be the first you meet depending on which route your party decides to take.
“The Nexus, [...]

UI: QuestHelper

QuestHelper is definitely one mod you must not be without if you are leveling your character. Best of all, not only does it work in Vanila WoW, and the Burning Crusade, it works for Wrath of the Lich King too! Since I haven’t had any alts (until the refer-a-friend promo) and leveled a character in [...]

Obtained 50 Pets and Killed a Death Knight

I got my achievement for obtaining 50 different non-combat pets the other day. This wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought, and now that these pets no longer take up my precious bag space, I went and hunted some down.
First off, WarcraftPets will be your bible for this achievement. It is an excellent resource for [...]

Utgarde Keep is the first dungeon hub located on the shores of Lake Cauldros in the Howling Fjord of Northrend. Inhabited by the Vrykul (led by King Ymiron), [...]

Wrath Week is Over

Don’t Panic! I’m still alive! Well there has been lack of activity here lately, and you all know why. Wrath of the Lich King was released last week, and like many players out there, I’ve disappeared. I’ve been devoting all my free time running around Northrend doing quests, killing mobs, and killing Horde. Fun times.
I’ve [...]

A Few Goals Completed Before Wrath

I sure did accomplish a lot of stuff that I’ve put off when I realized Wrath of the Lich King was being released today. While everyone was out stockpiling mats for their professions, and doing dailies to save up gold the day before, I am finishing up some of the few goals I have set [...]

Wrath Event Gives us a Taste…

A taste of the server lag we should be expecting when we all march on over to Northrend that is, and it does not look too good for us. The event was cool and everything, but the lag was awful. And this was with about 40-50 players at the event.
For those who are not familiar [...]

My Drawing of Ophelia

After being rather proud of myself after the drawing of Orihime Inoue, I decided to do another drawing. What other anime was popular at that time? Claymore. This series was pretty much the series, Berserk, but with chicks. Think of it as a very violent and bloody version of the Power Rangers. Well not really, [...]

Mage Tricks for Achievements

It has almost been a month since The Echoes of Doom patch was released, and the Achievement system with it. Since the release, everyone and their mothers have been running around doing ridiculous chores in order to unlock these Achievements. Including myself.
Now there a few achievements out there which take a massive amount of time [...]

My Drawing of Orihime Inoue

During the past two months, I’ve attended quite a few Anime Conventions, and each time I visit the Artist Galleries, it makes me want to start drawing again. Growing up, I’ve always been told that I have a natural artistic talent, but I’ve always lacked drive and motivation.
Now a few days later from attending [...]

Patch 3.0.3 - Buffs, Nerfs, and Fixes

Wrath Won’t Replace All Your Epics

With the Wrath of the Lich King expansion just around the corner, many players are afraid of getting their hard earned gear replaced by green drops. Players have stopped raiding because, “What’s the difference? Wrath is coming out soon.”

Fear not, your Purples won’t be replaced with quest Greens right away when you step into Northrend. [...]
