Low level PvP and Priests – Suppressing the Pain (part 2)

Same disclaimer as part 1. What this isn’t. This isn’t a guide to PvPing at 85 although some of it may be useful to Priests at 85. In fact it isn’t really a guide at all, more of a practical look at making levelling through PvP less painful. Drinks and other methods of regenerating mana. Low level [...]

Creepy Crate – Munching it’s way to an Armadillo

Possibly because the crate is an extension of our own dark thoughts or merely because it’s a happy to help sort of crate, all the critters that it snacks upon count for both the Critter Kill Squad achievement and the Pest Control achievement. As we’ve just made a little guild to store alts and to [...]

Out of the Mist: First thoughts on the proposed new talent system, Pandas and the lack of Alliance love

Partly to see whether by the time the expansion goes live, my feelings have changed in any way and partly because speculation is always fun. Talent trees: My instant gut reaction was one of “Nooooooo”, but after some reflection and a good look at the existing trees, I think this has a lot of potential. [...]

Suppressing the Pain – the Hallows End edition (part 1b)

The same disclaimers and such apply to this as to part 1 (which can be found here). Hallows End brings us one or two news tricks to treat ourselves with whilst levelling. Okay, none of this is actually Priest or levelling specific but it’s useful nonetheless. First up, Ogre masks. Bringing a whole new meaning to [...]

♫This is Hallows End!♫

Cataclysm has brought a few changes to Hallows End and they are all amazing. Currency To bring Hallows End in line with other festivals like Noblegarden, Tricky Treats now function as a currency. All the bits like pieces like the sinister squashling can now be purchased from a vendor. Because of this, Trick or Treating [...]

The Levelling Game

Up until Cataclysm hit I was a complete quest junkie. I earned my Loremaster colours with pride and loved hunting down obscure and hidden quests. Since then, however, I’ve undergone a change of heart. Part of what made questing amazing for me, was the fact that you wandered into a town, a bit like a gunslinger [...]

Suppressing the Pain – A look at levelling a Healing Priest through PvP (part 1)

What this isn’t. This isn’t a guide to PvPing at 85 although some of it may be useful to Priests at 85. In fact it isn’t really a guide at all, more of a practical look at making levelling through PvP less painful. Inspired by conversations had with levelling Priests and my own experiences of [...]

Transmogrification picks – Caster One-handers (part 2: Daggers)

Daggers Voodoo Hexblade Drops in Zul’Aman and would suit a Troll Priest or Warlock down to the ground. Illidari-Bane Mageblade Unfortunately this is a reward from a TBC quest but I love it’s purple crystal look. The whole chain can be found here. Dagger of Lunar Purity This is Alliance only but would work well [...]

Ding

Sproutling hit 85 this morning. Now the “fun” part starts, the grind to 4000 resilience as well as getting a decent set of PvE gear. In some ways I wish I was still lv 10.
