The Elders of Cataclysm

Just a brief guide to the whereabouts of the Cataclysmic Elders. Kalimdor Elder Windsong: Mount Hyjal (at the Sanctuary of Malorne). Elder Evershade: Mount Hyjal (Stood next to the Stormwind portal at Nordrassil). Elder Menkhaf: Uldum (Khartut’s Tomb. If you are facing north, he’s on the east side of the statue). Elder Sekhemi: Uldum (Ruins of [...]

Winter Veil – You’re a Mean One!

This is a new daily added this Winter Veil which has combined two of the old staples, rescuing Metzen the Reindeer and killing off the Greench so you can return the presents he stole. Instead of having to go to both Hillsbrad (for the Greench) and either Tanaris or the Searing Gorge (to rescue the [...]

Day of the Dead: A Lament

I love the Day of the Dead. I had the privilege of being in Mexico at this time of year once. Of seeing the marigolds being brought into the city on truck after truck, as well as being heaped at the road side for sale to passing traffic and the shop window displays piled high with sugar skulls. I [...]

♫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 [...]

Happy Halloween

Lady Luck and the Wickerman

Lady Luck seems to favour Druids. My Druid got her reins and a sinister squashling in the same bag. Mr Harpy got the mount on his druid too and out of the other four Druids in my guild, so far three of them have received the horse. Of course, my Priest, the character on which [...]

At the end of the Brewfest

I flattened Coren Direbrew on at least three characters every single day and this is what I received. It seems that the drunken gods of Brewfest favour me far more than the frosty gods of Midsummer but I wouldn’t have said no to a ram. Kodos: 2 Rams: 0 Dire Remotes: 4 Barman’s Bloody Shanker: [...]

Drunken Brewfest Ramblings

In a complete reversal of fortunes since the Midsummer Fire Festival, my keg shaped treasure chest does indeed seem to be filled with treasure. With more than a week to go, I’ve already secured a mole machine and a Brewfest Kodo (although ungrateful as it seems, I can’t help wishing it was a ram) on [...]

Happy Pirate’s Day!

Even the most grizzled and bad tempered of pirates would have been impressed with the carnage taking place in Booty Bay on my server.  There was drinking, plundering and plenty of fighting, in the Inn, on the roof tops, in the water and along the dock. Anywhere in fact that two or more people of [...]

I call shenanigans

I feel slightly nit picky about this but I’m disappointed in both Operation Free Gnomeregan and Zalazane’s Fall. Yes, I had fun and I love the flavour items you receive but… Firstly it’s all over in about twenty minutes. Now maybe I’ve just got high expectations but there is nothing epic about that. Taking the Alliance chain [...]
