The game has given us access to a lot of other mounts out there that you realize even in this aspect the game has come a long way. Back in the days of pre-TBC or vanilla WoW as many prefer to call it, it was a bit harder to get a mount other than your racial mount since you’d have to do a lot of runecloth turn-ins to the cloth quartermaster of the faction you want to get exalted with so you can get a mount from another faction. Then racial mounts were made available through pvp rewards, making it …read more

Don’t be fooled by the title of the post. I’m not really complaining. Yes I find Northrend really huge but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I’m enjoying the whole continent as I trek my way to 80, having fun with the several zones I’ve been to so far and doing all the quests. I just had a thought earlier though.
I just hit 79 earlier and the fact is that I’ve only done a small number of the quests in Sholazar Basin when I did and I still haven’t been to Storm Peaks and Icecrown at all. That gives me …read more

It’s no big surprise really that Patch 3.02 is coming out today since season 4 of the Arena Tournament was scheduled to end today and we all just did the math. But it’s still great to put all the speculations to rest and get some confirmation from a “Blue”. That’s exactly what WoW EU Blizzard poster Slorkuz did!
This means that the next time you get to see your characters, all their talent trees are going to look very different. If you haven’t decided on a spec yet, the current downtime is a great time to do some last minute spec …read more

Ever since Blizzard announced the Achievements feature, I’ve seen different responses from different players towards it. Being able to flaunt what you’ve achieved in the game to everyone who bothers to look can be very gratifying to a lot of people since it gives you a sense that you did something important. Just like showing off your titles like High Warlord or Champion of the Naaru, the achievements feature is very similar in feeding one’s ego.
But like many things in the game, there are people who like it and even go out of their way to make sure they can …read more

The release of patch 2.4 has kicked the completion of daily quests up another notch. The Isle of Quel’danas and the other Shattered Sun Offensive dailies basically made earning gold a lot easier by making the quests a lot easier than some of the other dailies (I don’t do the annoying Skettis ones anymore haha) and made some dailies accessible to players who still don’t have a flying mount. Of course, the increase of the maximum dailies you can do from 10 to 25 helped a lot too.
With the ease of earning gold nowadays (I estimate about at least 100g …read more

Now that it’s confirmed that Death Knights will be starting at level 55 upon creation, that puts that issue out of the way. but ever since it was announced that Death Knights would be starting at a higher level to give the class an epic feeling that comes with it being a hero class, I’ve always wondered exactly what would happen to Death Knights and their professions.
Obviously Death Knight would have professions too. But starting at a high level puts them in an awkward situation when it comes to professions. When jewel crafting was introduced at the release of …read more

I always told my WoW friends that if played as Alliance, my mage would have definitely been a gnome instead of an undead one. While the gnome racials are definitely great for mages, it’s really the other things about them that I love. I love how cute they are and yet also still have the ability to wreak havoc. Unfortunately having played Horde for so long, my many attempts at making the Alliance work out for me have failed and my dreams of having a high level gnome (warlock I was hoping) have long been shattered. It’s nothing to do …read more

The year 2007 was an important year for World of Warcraft players all over the world primarily because of the release of the game’s first expansion The Burning Crusade. TBC brought with it not only new content but also a different dynamic on the way the game was played. Heroic difficulty dungeons, 25 man raids, the rise of paladins and druids as viable tanks, arena pvp are only a few changes the game has experienced to go away from the way things were before the expansion came. But how has 2007 treated You? How have your experiences with your friends …read more

Ever since the Darkmoon Faire was introduced to the game, it always was only in the Elwynn Forest besdie Goldshire or in Mulgore right outside Thunderbluff. I’m not really the type of person who really cares if the Faire is in town or not because I never really participate in anything they have to offer. I don’t collect the card decks or do any of their quests to get tickets. The only time I cared was when I had the Dark Iron Ales to get myself a Jubling.
But enough about me. Assuming you do care about whether the faire is …read more

The Death Knight is the first of hero classes and the first new class announced since the game was released. Of course it’s expected that many people will try it since it’s new. Just like the case of Draenei shaman and the blood elf paladin, many people tried them out when the Burning Crusade first came out but few stuck with it. Will you level a Death Knight to 80? And maybe a more intriguing question, will you make that level 80 Death Knight your main when WotLK comes out?
