Resigned

Well if you haven't noticed my blog here has gotten a most needed face lift!

So moving right along... After 30ish Magisters Terrace runs, I finally got my Swift White Hawkstrider! The drop rate is supposedly 4%, which isn't terrible, I read about it taking people way longer...so I consider myself lucky :p

However as happy as I am about the hawkstrider, there is still farming to be done! I am after now Reins of the Blue Proto Drake from Utgarde Pinnacle, Reins of the Green Proto Drake from the Oracles egg, and Rivendare's Death Charger from Stratholme.

As a death knight, the Skadi run for the blue drake is rather easy, I haven't found that I drop below 90% as blood. And as for the Stratholme run, well I don't have to worry about what spec I go into there as :p

As far as I know, the Blue Drake drop rate is 1.6%, Green is 5% from the egg, and the Death Charger is 0.8%. So its really up to the RNG (random number generator) when I get these mounts.



In addition to this farming, I'm also working on getting my Tol Barad and Argent Tournament mounts aswell. I'm not quite sure why I didn't do the Argent Tournament stuff when it came out...but it's never too late :D Doing faction dailies isn't really the funnest thing, but it can be rewarding. I already have my Flameward Hippogryph from the Mount Hyjal dailies, I'm 1 daily away from getting the non combat pet Pebble from Thereazane dailies...so its just all a matter of pushing yourself to do them everyday >.<

Well that's where things are at with me! Remember the Sunwell!

Lostmaster?

Yeah the banner still hasn't changed >.< I'm looking into remembering to fix that!

Anyways, it looks like it about time to update!

Remember (or not) how I was grinding rep with the Skyguard? Well I got my Nether Ray, I also got my Talbuks, and my 100 pets achieve. It really has been a busy month of dailies, grinding rep, pvp, dungeons and leveling lol. I'm not exactly sure where I will focus most of my attention next. The Loremaster achievement I have glanced at once or twice, it would be so badass to have since literally no one on my server has it...but then again its like "ok, have to do around 3000 quests...how do I approach this?" Its almost like the achievement for completing 3000 quests, but they're different. 3000 quests alone awards you with the title the Seeker, and it also doesn't give you a tabard like the Loremaster does. Here is a quick little breakdown from WoWWiki:


" The Horde requires a grand total of 3,260 quests to obtain this achievement, separated by continent:

• 550 in Eastern Kingdoms (quests that the Quest Log lists under names of zones (including instances) of Eastern Kingdoms)

• 685 in Kalimdor (quests listed under names of zones (including instances) of Kalimdor)

• 595 in Outland
• 90 in Hellfire Peninsula
• 68 in Terokkar Forest
• 86 in Blade's Edge Mountains
• 54 in Zangarmarsh
• 87 in Nagrand
• 90 in Shadowmoon Valley
• 120 in Netherstorm

• 875 in Northrend
• 150 in Borean Tundra
• 100 in Zul'Drak
• 105 in Howling Fjord
• 100 in Storm Peaks
• 130 in Dragonblight
• 75 in Grizzly Hills
• 75 in Sholazar Basin
• 140 in Icecrown

• 555 in Cataclysm
• 130 in Vashj'ir
• 115 in Mount Hyjal
• 110 in Deepholm
• 105 in Uldum
• 95 in Twilight Highlands"

I mean, I have gone after more bizarre stuff in the past, hell, I have 105 non combat pets :p But I'm kinda at a disadvantage and advantage for this achieve. 

On one hand, I'm a death knight, and I have done next to no old world quests, cause I didn't need to level there. On the other hand, I'm a death knight :p and that could work in my favor because for all of old world I would get to start at the beginner quest hubs so its easy to know where I need to begin. 

Anyways that has been floating around my brain...I haven't forgotten about my movies and whatnot, I have some stuff fraps'd but I'm not sure if it will ever get made into a youtube video :p Also parodies aren't out of the question, now that I have a bit better equipment for recording. I just find that you can't force a good parody out. The best ones I've done just spawned from me listening to a song and the chorus or a parody line just coming out. So as I can't really give an eta on that, I will say that its highly possible that inspiration may come. I am also open to suggestion, within reason...I don't think it would go over well to make a parody of a screamo song cause well...I can't exactly scream like that :p






Tis all for now, glory to the sin'dorei and all that.

Netherwing Drake and MoP Stuff!

Well here I find myself on a lovely Saturday afternoon, and as much as I'd love to be rep farming I decided to take a little break to post here.

1st order of business...This banner will change, its due time :|


Secondly, I'm quite enjoying my revisit to WoW. I tried out the raid finder and did the Fall of Deathwing, twas pretty good. Also did heroic ZG...and I'm not sure how to feel about it, not really a fan of some of the old content being remade, guess I'm just not a big fan of change :p

On another note, I finally...after a good ol' rep grinding got my Netherwing Drake. You're given the choice to get 1 drake after you hit exalted with the Netherwing, and I chose the Veridian Netherwing Drake.

So since the farm for this mount is over, I've started questing for the Skyguard for a Nether Ray, the rep grind never truly ends lol.

Aside from that, I got my 25 tabards achieve as well, the Tabard of the Archiver is rather nifty. But its not as nifty as the last thing I'm going to mention!

I've been looking a little bit into MoP (Mists of Pandaria) and from what I've seen with people playing the beta, I love the warlock changes so far. At times I (personally) couldn't help but feel that they were one of the classes that blizzard sometimes overlooked. But in MoP they're getting a good refresh. From new spells, to revamped animation, new pets, revamped talents etc. So I'm liking what I'm seeing so far, but I will only be able to give a verdict when and if I play a lock in MoP and get to lvl 90.

Another thing that I'm happy about is the non combat pet battle system! :D I knew that there was a reason that I aimlessly collected them lol. But seriously, I like the fact that its something to do while you're waiting in que for a dungeon or something. I also like the fact that blizz wants to make it so that your pet collection isn't just on one character anymore. As much as I spoiled my DK with all the pets, I could finally be able to bust out any pet on any character and have 'em by my side in combat! :p

Scroll of Resurrection

My oh my its been a long time! I am pleased to announce that after almost a years break that I have returned to WoW! Its never felt so good to log on and collect more mindless achievements and pets :D


And of course playing alone is no fun...so I scrolled up some of my minions and now we're back to doing the same ol' stuff we were doing before we stopped playing :p

There are so many things that I want to try doing...I want a pvp set on my lock and a better pve set, I want to get my dk pvp geared, I want a resto pvp set on my druid and a pve resto set...Gah just so many things. And I can't forget about my pet collection, going for the 100 pets, I only need 5 more :D


So I'm not entirely sure if/when I would be doing any videos ...but it is a possibility, seeing as I'm done school for the summer I will no doubt have more free time. This semester had me packed for work :|

But I certainly do want to get back into posting and video making. The exploration got nerfed in cata imo, (flying everywhere doesn't make it nearly as rewarding) but if I find anything/do anything of remote interest I shall post it here. Also, (provided the time, and inspiration are right) more parodies could be a possibility.


This here was just a quick little post to say that I've been ressed :D
