Rainbow of Drakes

After reading BRK’s Rainbow of Proto Drakes post, I went to see if anything cool like that was happening on my server. Looks like there were a lot of bored players on with plenty of time to spare.

Tuskarr Mage!?

While we’re on the topic of different Mage races, here is one of my favorite transformations so far. The Tuskarr transformation!
“The Tuskarr are humanoid walrus people who live in Northrend. Although seen throughout Northrend, they make their homes primarily in the Borean Tundra. The Tuskarr culture is centered around fishing and whaling such that a [...]

Another Dwarf Mage!?

Awhile back, I wrote about how it was possible to become a Dwarf Mage by getting the Transporter Malfunction. There is another way, and this time it doesn’t involve shady Goblin or Gnomish Engineering mishaps. This time it will involve Dark Iron Dwarves and alcohol!
Step 1: Get to the Grim Guzzler

My personal favorite (and easiest) [...]

Solo’d Onyxia on my Mage

Solo’d Onyxia on my Mage

After reading about Faxmonkey vs Onyxia on PTR, I just had to do this myself when the patch came out. It was one of the most intense fight I’ve ever had so far in WoW. I had to time all my shield cooldowns nearly flawlessly in order to survive all of Onyxia’s attacks. Many times [...]

Blizzard Buffs Arcane Powder!

Blizzard Buffs Arcane Powder!

So before Patch 3.0.8, I always carried with me at all times, two stacks of [Arcane Powder] (40). I always throw down a table in BG’s or instances, and always buff with my Dalaran Brilliance. Yes I even overwrite an existing Mage’s Arcane Brilliance if it is already up. I like this icon better! I [...]

Level 80 Gems for Emblem of Heroism

If you were cheap like me, you probably haven’t upgraded all your Gems yet to the Blue quality level 80 Gems yet. Especially the Red Sockets in which the [Runed Scarlet Ruby] were going for around 150g each on my server. With the latest patch (3.0.8), you can now turn in your [Emblem of Heroism] [...]

December 2008 Stats

December 2008 Stats

December went by super fast for me, and left me little to no free time due to the holidays. That was less time for WoW, other games, and of course the blog. Still you can see the number of visitors increasing back again to what it was before the launch of Wrath of the Lich [...]

PTR Patch 3.0.8 – Mage Raid Specs

Undead Mage by Black Valentine
The Official Patch Notes for the Patch 3.0.8 Test Realm has been updated recently, and you can find it here on the WoW website. With the changes being made to the Mage’s talent trees, there will be a few adjustments you will need to make, and brand new specs to try [...]

Not Fire… FROSTfire!

I’m Baaaack!
After falling off the face of Azeroth, I have returned. After the holidays (hope everyone had a good one!), my schedule has been changed around quite a bit, and it has taken me a bit of time to get used to it. I now have a bit less WoW time (which sadly also includes [...]
