Alterac Valley revisited

There has been a lot of snow under the bridge at Dun Baldar since I last wrote about Alterac Valley.  Now that I’m levelling again, I thought I would return and see how things have changed. Objectives that give experience: Destroying towers/bunkers Killing the opposing faction’s captain (either Balinda or Galvanger) The safe return to [...]

Shared topic – A new beginning

The shared topic on Blog Azeroth this week is: If you had the chance to start all over again in WoW, but your char is already level 80, or level 1 depending on if you like to level or not :>. What class would you pick? What race? What faction? Why would you pick that [...]

Picture Perfect – Darkshore

This week the screenshots come from Darkshore. I’ve always had a bit of a love hate relationship with this zone. My first impression when our very first little Nightelf got off the boat was one of dislike, too dark, too depressing. Compared to the tranquil Darnassus with its deep purples and almost golden haze, Darkshore [...]

Dps wins the fame, Healers win the game?

I wish Blizzard would introduce a balancing system for Battlegrounds. Not based on gear. Although I admit to growling when I see people running around with sub 16k health at this point in the game, especially when they are melee. My Priest has close to 30k and she’s a squishy priest wearing half PvE gear [...]

Feathery thoughts on ganking, flying and Outlands

Random thoughts on Outlands and Druids. Our druids hit lv 58. For a brief happy moment, I really thought that BoA gear would solve my “I don’t want to look awful all the way to lv 68 and Northrend” issue. The first pair of pants I got was a pretty embroidered kilt which contrasted nicely with the [...]

101 things to do – Jump on Medivh’s bed

Despite having run Karazhan countless times on multiple characters, I only recently discovered Medivh’s rather nice bed. Situated at the top of the tower of Karazhan its spacious, bouncy and surprisingly comfortable. Who wouldn’t want a bed so big, you need a ramp to get into it. Although if you fell out in the night… [...]

Felwood – Screenshot Saturday

Today’s screenshots are of Felwood, one of my long term favourite hang out zones. In Vanilla, I spent probably the vast majority of my non-raiding time riding up and down herbing here. I also managed to make a shaman feel so bad that he gave me the Night Dragon’s Breath he had just cleansed right [...]

Dark Iron Pillow fight

So there we were, semi bored of leveling. Level 49 with no where to go. Every zone we tried just had silver exclamation marks teasing us. Finally, tired of being turned away, we had to face facts. Whether we wanted to or not we were going to have to quest in the Searing Gorge. Even on the [...]

I’ve been trolled…

Something I read on MMO Champion last night upset me: Vol’jin’s Darkspears settled in nearby Sen’jin Village, which they have since used as a staging point to attack Zalazane. Over the years, members of the Horde looking to test their worth have braved the Echo Isles to confront Zalazane, and many of them even returned [...]

A is for Armoury and B is for Blogging

Reading Blog Azeroth because its far more fun than working, I noticed that this week’s shared topic was: If you were given the option, would you post a link to your blog on your main’s armory profile? Now given that I loathe the Armoury with a passion, I couldn’t resist answering. The only possible plus [...]
