I completed both the Darkmoon Faire quest for grisly trophies and the dailies for each capitals for love tokens by killing the mobs in Icecrown, im not sure what you're talking about, unless you're not killing the same ones as i do, which are these guys : http://www.wowhead.com/npc=32255.

You are not following the conversation well enough to start trying to call people out on misinformation. I do not know which mobs eudaemonic is killing but they are not giving him the trophies so it must not be those.

I'll check out the area Deepholm cause that might be fun in general for the charms. But the mobs I kill in Icecrown do drop the grizzly ears because I can farm 250 of them in 30 minutes. I was just not getting charms and ears at the same time - only ears.
Yeah because of the way WoW's loot system works, since they're deposited straight into your inventory, you can only get 1 drop.
I'm stuck home recovering for a few more days from surgery, and have decided to go apeshit creating some new horde alts. Never really done horde before, so I'd appreciate the advice!
I'm going to actually create all four and dick around with all of them till I find what I like. These are the classes (and the faction!) that I know the least about.
These are all the options available for these classes/races.
Death Knight
• Orc
• Undead
• Troll
• Blood Elf
• Goblin
• Tauren
Warrior
• Orc
• Undead
• Troll
• Blood Elf
• Goblin
• Tauren
Rogue
• Orc
• Undead
• Troll
• Blood Elf
• Goblin
Warlock
• Orc
• Undead
• Blood Elf
• Goblin
I'm leaning toward Blood Elf warrior, Undead warlock, Tauren Death Knight, and...I'd like to suggest either Orc/Troll/Goblin for the rogue...but man, I'm not such a huge fan of the character models.
I'm not as crazy about racial bonuses, as I consider being happy with how my character looks and feels much more important (honestly)....unless the racials are seriously game-breakingly awesome.
Any and all suggestions helpful!

Totally! Which is why I'm hesitant to go with Orc. They look completely terrible, lol.
I can't manage to get into playing a Goblin or Gnome either. I feel so small, inconsequential and NPC-ish.
Personally, i have a hard time playing any races that isnt from BC or Cataclysm... they look so outdated.
I know right....
Part of me seriously just wants to create an army of Blood Elves. They're so beautiful. lol

One of the Darkmoon Fair quests requires 250 of them in exchange for 10 tickets. (Can only do it once per month.)
Ahh... that makes sense then. The ears were just getting picked before the charms. Still kind of a bummer but what can ya do? In the grand scheme, not that big of a deal.
I have every race covered.
You could spend a lot of time deciding based on animations and how they look in gear.
How they look in tier sets is often my first indicator of whether I'm in. I find it frustrating and awesome at the same time that armor gets shredded on an undead character. I really dig some of the horde races but hate that they're like, perma-hunched-over, at least the male characters are.
And I just can't stand short characters, so gnomes and goblins are out. I had a dwarf for awhile and actually rerolled because I wanted a human/taller character on the Alliance. I miss the awesome presence and whimsy of a dwarf though.
And I dig the shit out of male Draenei. Truly the most majestic-looking race, imo. I wish Tauren could match that kind of animation, because I really dig their immensity.
Edit-
Vote Yes/No: Tauren Warrior named Psyduck. Go.
Argh, Blood Elf DK and Tauren Warrior, or vice versa? G'damn. I get so hung up on character creation, lol.

I have a Tauren Warrior, DK, and Paladin. I think all the plate classes look great as Tauren. Though I tend to prefer Tauren in general. I do have characters of other races though, including an Orc Warrior which is pretty fun. Though I find he needs to have a certain hairstyle and face to look acceptable.
Sidetracked a bit there, this is what I came to post about:
Funny how it has taken this long to say as much. It's been really bad beginning with Cataclysm, but to see it line by line how they have so many CC options, and they're almost all on different types of diminishing returns. It's pretty disgusting.

Male Tauren Warrior is definitely badass. One of the best combos. The sheer size of weapons.
I like my female blood elf DK but I'm jelly about shoulder size on a lot of other races.

It's pretty fun, but as with all BG healing, perhaps even more so because of the HoTs, you really need to be around a bunch of people to be effective.

Caused quite the debate
Well I moved my Dk across, didnt want to pay £20 to change to horde just yet but I will probably mess about on him and try to relearn tanking.
It funny how after playing for so long, no matter how many times I quit and come back the first week is rough as I cant remember anything or what half my gear is even for!
Yeah, I hopped on a level 1 male Tauren warrior I created, dressing room'd some sets and weapons and cried with joy at the badassery. Made my decision for me.
Rollin a BE DK, a Tauren Warrior, an Undead Warlock (that race/class combo just makes perfect sense to me thematically; just need to pick male or female), and am seriously torn on the rogue. Either a BE or UD female. Or maybe...another male blood elf. Fuck, I don't know.

Got to say 25% extra Xp is actually mental. I played for like 2 hours maybe and went from level 10 to 20. I outleveld the zone I was in massivly and now im kind of lost as to where to go at 20!
Also Healing is so bizzare to me, strugelling to get used to it. Being able to use dual spec and spec into healing properly should be good though.

Same. I do the LFR on Tuesday on my main, I don't really care to do it on my alts anymore, then an actual raid Sun/Mon for about 6-7 hours total. I typically just log onto WoW and go AFK to play some other game and just press W so I don't logged out for inactivity.
Playing Amalur is making me want to resub to WoW... again. Maybe I'd actually level my alt since I hear they are making achievements account wide (FINALLY)!
I really can't wait for Pandas now, a new continent to explore is always super fun for me. I think the fact that there wasn't one in Cata impacted my overall experience, but at least the new zones in cata were pretty fun overall.
I also seem to be having a hard time getting into SWTOR... I'm still not level 50, and my wife and I's playtime has dropped off quite a bit. This is very different from the various expansions for WoW, which we'd play like nonstop till we were through the questing and up to dungeons/raiding/etc. The class quests are good, but the rest of the filler somehow seems even worse than WoW's filler, lol.

My routine is: Farm MC/BWL with my hunter, and level alts. I bounce around alts constantly trying to maximize rest exp so I usually have nothing to do after I burn through everyone's rest. Fortunately, I just play other games during this period. Being a heavy raider was fun for a while but I can't stand scheduled gaming anymore. I like having freedom to play games when I want.
LFR was a nice addition that helped me see some raids while still being pretty casual about things and play on my own schedule.
I've been playing The Binding of Isaac while in LFR, when we hit a boss, I'll minimize with the sound in background option checked in the options for WoW.
It's hard to tell right away, but if an item have "Duration : X days" in the description, those will expire. Not all items are like that, some can be collected and put in the bank for the next year.
If you click the calender that's in the top right-hand corner of the screen with the mini-map you can view those sort of things. The Darkmoon Faire always lasts 1 week, looks like Love is in the Air is 2 weeks.
I assumed that the Darkmoon tickets for this year won't expire because of the high cost for the mounts and companions. From what I've read, they carry over each month. I'm more worried about the Love is in the Air stuff since I would like to get a mount (or 3) to either keep or sell.
I meant the items you collect for the events, not the events themselves. Sorry if I didn't describe that properly.
SO I discovered I have a 63 BE rogue on a server with 74 silver and no talent points. Two swords equipped and some armor.

How shall I spec her?

Darkmoon Faire tokens do not expire because they count as "currency"(see the tab for that). I still have 100 Dalaran cooking tokens collecting dust from the last expansion lol.
Not sure about Love is in the Air since those actually go into your bag. Just check its description, if there is no expiration timer, you're all good.
While leveling I liked Combat.
Combat until you get daggers to try out.
Is there some trick to quickly lvl enchanting without spending a fortune in the AH for greens or mats?
My enchanter is a rogue alt, but since i never play with him, and since i have a great need of mats for my mains, i feel like i should get rid of engineering on my paladin main and just get enchanting instead to get more mats from dungeon runs and future MoP quests. All those runs without an enchanter piss me off, i dont want gold from a purple ring. 70k is enough.
But then i think of all the low lvl dungeons i will have to run hoping for greens to drop or all the gold i will have to waste... ugh. Ores, leathers and herbs arent a pain in the ass to get, why enchanting mats?

combat's pretty easy: no positional requirements or keeping track of poisons, you can cleave additional mobs, you can pick up bonus armor and imp recup for basically free (the other talents aren't really going to help you level as much as these.)
if you find yourself taking more than maybe 10 seconds to kill a mob and running low on energy, you probably want to switch to using a fast dagger in your offhand for combat potency procs giving you free energy back. I leveled my rogue in full heirlooms, so it was fine using two swords since everything died before I ran out of energy, but with the gear you have you probably want to be using a dagger in off-hand.

Level a ton of alts, amass all their cloth, tailor it up like crazy and DE it all. I have five alts all on the same server all around the same level, and it took literally all their cloth pooled together plus tailoring to level up enchanting so it kept pace with the character.
I find it a little tricky to keep trade skills up to level now that leveling is so damn fast, I always seem to outpace the herbs and ore that I need to mine.
Add up the cost. Cause I think I might have spent over 10k when I thought I could power level alch and enchanting to make a ton of money on disenchanted stones only to have it hotfixed.

Rename your 64-bit executable to Wow.exe so that it triggers any of the same application-specific driver settings you're used to (if you're on Windows). That's all I can think of.
Depends on the level of the item you're DEing and the costs of greens on your servers. Mine are way too expensive to make this practical.
This worked:
"Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > [ADD] > WoW Directory > Wow-64.exe"
Which probably has the same effect as renaming.
I guess I was running off integrated graphics instead of dedicated because of this sandy bridge switching.

You have 70k and are stressing just power-levelling the prof through purchases? Are mats that expensive on your server?
I only had 20k and decided it was worth it to spend the 10k to go from 1-525. I didn't even take a week or anything to try and catch things at low prices, I just recklessly bought bought bought whatever I needed and borrowed a little here and there from some friends, knowing I'd be able to return it to them via whatever I DE'd the following week. Only ended up spending about 7k (did 1-525 in about like, 3 or 4 hours while watching TV one day, lol), and I made that 7k back nearly twice over the next week.
Totally worth it having it on a main. No more vendored epics. Feels GOOOOD man. Do it. And you have so much money! Should be an easy decision.
I now have 30k or so total over all my characters, and am the richest I've ever been, lol. Staggers me to know some of my guildies have over 150k.
I know, its just that seeing stacks of Arcane/Infinite Dusts sold for 200g makes me want to punch someone. Especially when i need hundreds of them.
But like you said, i got a lot of money collecting dust...
Why don't you buy greens and disenchant them yourself? People dump crafted greens on the AH all the time that they made while skilling up.
