Following a few questions from Nuetralise of Spirit Is Your Friend in the Blog Azeroth chatroom, I thought it might be useful to add a companion to my Guide to the Shattered Sun Daily Quests. To wit: how best to tackle the quests once they’re all available. (Note that I’m giving the “ongoing” quest names, […]

Occasionally, people will do and say the darndest things. Things, in fact, that make you go “Hmmm” - or, more likely, things that make you go “WTF were they thinking?!” Here’s one I remember.
The background: pre-TBC, we used a DKP system for raiding, and we introduced a proviso that if you disappeared your DKP pool […]

I’ve just hit 70 with another alt, my night elf priest Siha. She’s currently a Holy DPS spec, running a Surge of Light/Imp Divine Spirit build (32/29/0) which allows her to do reasonable DPS and still contribute good healing if we’re short on healers.
Of course, gearing up an alt at maximum speed is always […]

This post could also be titled “I’m never going to run out of things to do”.
Upon loading into WotLK for the first time - and oh, I was bouncing in my chair! - I set about checking out some of the banner items for Wrath […]

I’ve been meaning to make one of these posts for ages, so here goes:
A Guide To My UI
First up, here’s a shot of my UI, full-size, for comparison’s sake. Note that I’ve resized it down to 1200×750, so you can actually see it onscreen; I play at 1920×1200.
Now, let’s take a look at it […]

I’ve been levelling an alt lately, mostly keeping a friend company while he tries out a new class. We haven’t been following any levelling guides, but we’ve still managed to belt through the levels very fast - I did nearly sixty levels in less than three weeks of real time, which is pretty good for […]

I just read a very interesting post on WoWInsider talking about what roleplayers want that Blizzard’s not giving them.
In summary, the article said that what RPers want
…is customization. They want to create items and spaces which are all their own, not just appreciate the events and stories that Blizzard comes up with. They want […]

(aka the WoW Trading Card Game Loot Guide)
There are a number of fun vanity items in the game that you can’t actually get in the game, and I often see questions about how you get them.
The World of Warcraft Trading Card Game is published by Upper Deck Entertainment, in collaboration with Blizzard. It’s a […]

I’m sure everyone knows people who only play characters of one type, whether it’s the healer who comes equipped with a pally main and shammy and druid alts, or the tank with one of each type, or the pet-lovers who play hunters and warlocks.
The trouble is, once you’ve played a character to the level cap, […]

I picked up an epic flying mount for my main perhaps six months ago now, and zooming around at Ludicrous Speed with Crusader Aura on has been fun, but trying to farm for herbs and ore on my alt has been a horrible sluggish 60%-speed pain.
So I bought her an epic flying mount as […]
