WOW and Birthday Parties

I have a character on the Server Moonrunner (named Galbatorex if anyone wants to say hi). My girlfriend and her brother and some of our real life friends play on that server. My girlfriend and I play with this guild and today we had a birthday day party for one of the Guild Officers....

The results are magic:

Death Knight level 80 fun

This weekend I got to really play with my level 80 death knight. I have my talent points in the blood tree and I have to say it amazing. At one point I was in Wintergrasp and took on two shamans and a warrior and rogue and owned them all. I was killed by a mage but still amazing time.

So now my big problem is my friend has asked me to move his server. Do I leave onyxia for a server where I know real life people or stay....decisions, decisions.......

Death Knight Level 80!

Now I have two level 80s!!! Woooo!!!! Gear hunting time!

Oh man has it been awhile since I have updated my post. Oh I have been having too much fun with Real Life and Naxxaramas 25 man to remember to come on here! I will have to write a post about the gear I have gotten so fair.

Also I think I have finally gotten a system down for truly being an awesome Shaman healer....now if only they would give us a new heal. The one Heal over Time (HoT) spell we have, Riptide, is fine but I would like a true HoT. And Tidal Force I feel is kind of a joke. I don't even put a talent into it. I would rather waste my talent point on Improved Ghost Wolf. Ghost Wolf need to work indoors!

Btw two Death Knights are over level 65...I am enjoy the heck out of that class! It feels like an enhancement shaman with plate. Especially since two of my totem are useless with a Forst Death Knight around. Icy Talons and Horn of Winter over ride my Strength of Earth and Windfury totems!!!

New President

So at my office was trying to watch the Inaugural Address in the conference room but none of the streams were working because they tried at about 11:20 am EST when everyone was trying to get on to watch Obama. When people saw I had it working in my cube (I signed on CNN.com at about 10:30 am EST) they all came and I had about 20 people crowded in my cube watching the speech.

I am keeping the Stream on just to see if anything interesting happens. The Parade is soon and the Luncheon is funny to watch. Quail and Duck for Obama today!

As for WOW, Death Knight is 72 and Norwyn (Shaman) is almost Revered with the Kirin Tor. Got my Healing to almost 1600. Now I just need to get a Naxx group.

In other real life news, looking for an artist, I have a webcomic idea but need someone to draw. Might be funny, but who knows.

Mining 101

Man it has been a month. Sorry about that. Real life can be so busy. More on that later maybe.

I have been busy mining lately. I think keep up with it as you level would have been easier but there is something calming about running around looking for a vein. When I started around my last blog post I was at maybe 150. It took about a week, and most of that time was finding a vein. I think all the other gathering professions (aside from fishing) are easier to find your resourses. Mining takes alot of time but the pay offs are big. On my server Iron and Mithral were out selling Thorium! I blame the twinks but money is money. I can easily make 1000g a week selling my gems while upping my Jewelcrafting.

Almost Gaming has a great site for your mining needs: http://www.almostgaming.com/wowguides/world-of-warcraft-mining-guide-1-300-with-maps

I know the link says 1-300 but they have up to 450 with maps. It has really helped me. I do wish to add that if you are brave enough, Wintergrasp has a bunch of Saronite and Titanium veins. When I am PVPing there I always stop to get a resource (well not Titanium need to be 450, see below).

I am up to 430 mining now. My jewel crafting is now at 400. It's a little annoying that yellow level patterns do not give me a JC skill up any more. It can take 10 tried doing the same gem cut to move from 395 to 396. I was excited to get to 400 for the trinkets I can make but they are Bind on Pickup and not very good for a healer.

My healing now, thanks to the new gems is at 1419. I need to get higher so I can start trying to find a group for Naxxramas.

Next time I will write more about Jewelcrafting and the pros and cons of the professions. For now, keep the spirits in your heart.

Hey you! You should be dead!

The Ice of Northrend and the ferocity of the Horde might try to keep a draenei down but Norwyn is stepping up to the challenge!

So Real Life is going well, I am working at a new job here in New York. It was stressful at first, I was worried I had lost my ability to work at a job like this but I am proving myself wrong by meeting and exceeding expectation. It give me a warm fuzzy.....like from my wolves out to mess up the horde!!!


That is one thing I wish to bring up, coming from a PVE server and going to a PVP Server is an interesting experience. When I started in the Azeroth, I was a Troll Warrior on the Bloodscalp server. They was a rough experience because Warriors at the time were not very good in pvp, save for knocking out the occasional rogue once in a while.

The pratice of ganking other Player is not one I find very honorable. After I kill 5 mobs and have very little mana or health and you attack me to get the honor, does not seem very honorable. It's an annoying part of life but one that can be fun.

Sunday, Darkshire- Passing through to mine from iron, because the silly person that I am dropped it for tailoring and now I can't up my Jewelcrafting so I am bringing it back up, saw about five horde between the levels of 61 to 71 attacking the town. Well now being level 76 I decided to help my love level brother. Was there a battle! All five of the horde vs. me resulted in my death but one on one, two on one or three on one, they were no match. It was glorious. So glorious that I forgot to screen shot it. Oh well.

PVP has it's ups and down, I try not to attack low level players, unless they are dumb enough to attack me and I know when to run away, when a pack of level 80 come at me but all in all the tranfer to a PVP server has been fun.

On the PVE side seems like Argual is back. This is the final boss in Shadowfang keep and the creator of the Worgen. Well he has been resurrected and after being chased by a town full of worgen (guess which one, you will be pleasantly surprised) I got to see his resurrection.

To test my bravery, I journeyed into the land of Vrykul, 10 feet tall human ancestors, who have pleadged alligance to the Lich King. I decided I would take the quick way back to town. No, this did not mean hearth stone or astrel recall. I went harpoon surfing.

Just. Plain. Awesome.

I leave you with my screen shot of the day from the Howling Fjord:
