A guildmate was really wanting the brewfest ram. Three of us said we wouldn't roll against him and through force of will caused the other guild member to agree. On his last possible run for the year it drops. I was glad we could help him out. Pretty lucky since out of our whole guild we've only seen the ram twice!

EditLEASE GIVE IT TO ME! :lol

I know there's no way to know for sure, but please don't sell it. I'd much rather give it to someone who intends to use the thing.

I'll PM you the code in a sec.

Cool pet, and that's coming from someone who normally doesn't notice vanity pets. I would have asked for it but my imp would get jealous

You can click on him and hear the muffled murluc gurgle. Hilarious.

After my horde guild stop raiding and died early summer, me and my RL buddies from that guild rerolled alliance. After 3 weeks of doing Ulduar10 with 3 pugs in each raid, we got to Yogg Saturday night. We made more progress in 3 weeks than we did in 3 months in my old guild. I contribute it to having people who don't sabotage raids because we weren't going for achievements as well as having people who don't stand in the fire.

 

[Bisnic]

So, what happened with the pandaren and mini-Kelthuzad companions that were in 3.2.2 PTR. Are they on the live servers, or is it some card game unique crap? If not, where do you get them? I'm hoping the mini-Kelthuzad isnt some 1% chance to drop from Kelthuzad himself. :lol

If you can find someone with the Zergling pet from vanilla Collectors Edition, Grunty and the Zergling will fight. It is pretty awesome.

Problem is Grunty wins 99% of the time since both attacks are 1 shot and he has ranged. Still, the grunty death animation is f'n awesome.

For example, I got my level 65 DK up to ~425 JC and started prospecting saronite then making greens for my main to DE. Made like 5K in the first week doing maybe 10 stacks of saronite a day - the blue gems would cover the cost of the saronite, the enchanting mats were pure profit. Now even the scarlet rubies rot on the AH, despite undercutting the fuck out of people (I'm selling for 35g, market price is around 45g).



Really the only thing w/ consistent profit is anything on cooldown (ebonweave, titansteel, etc). Other than that it's a crapshoot. So much failure on such a small server.


.

For yellow gems I was having some nice success with Thick Autumn's Glow, and the crit rating gem. All my greens, blues, and oranges are cut/vendor though. When 3.2 hit sooooooo many people were getting new gear with conquest badges that even with epic gems, rare gems still sold well. It's getting hard to move them now I'm hoping the situation will improve with 3.3 and people getting new gear quick.

Since he's 65 and can't do the JC daily I've only got the vendor cuts (one for each color of rare gem). There's also much more competition for cut gems than uncut.

I've only been doing it for a week, and have been careful not to dump a ton of uncut gems onto the AH (maybe five of each red/purple/orange/blue). Still, it seems like it's slowing down already.

I really think I was selling to the people I was undercutting, and they hit saturation quickly. On a small server people seem to think you can more easily manipulate things, but you quickly get to prices that make it appealing to folks to go out and farm for themselves (especially since there's little competition for mineral / herb nodes).

Nope

 

[water_wendi]

So im leveling my alli druid and i found the most ridiculous place to grind for xp. At Valgarde in Howling Fjord the mobs that spawn and charge the city give like 1600xp per kill.. the thing is though, all i have to do is tag them and let the npc guards kill them in like 3 hits. So i just run around collecting mobs by bearing up and swiping. i got from halfway into 71 to 72 in like 30 minutes of that. This is rested xp btw but still thats an insane amount of xp.

 

[PhoenixDark]

We're going to start Freya+3 hard mode tonight hopefully (10 man). Right now we're a strict 10 man group (#1 on server, which isn't saying much I guess compared to other servers) trying to expand to 25 mans. We have two 10 man groups - one for hard modes, another for regular Ulduar - but often our best core of folks can't get on at the same time to do harder stuff, like Freya.

Yeah, it's stupid. Just go Bear form and spam swipe in the entrance.

According to wowhead comments that npc uses Stormwind faction for some reason.

They switched the outland vendors to org and sw rep.

Leaving Dalaran unchanged and costing more to learn skills there heh

 

[jim-jam bongs]

If they offer anything it will be the ability to roll a character of any class that starts at 55 or something similar. However, given that in the next expansion they are revamping the levelling experience, that is a seriously long way off if it ever eventuates.

Actually you can also use the trainers for 300 riding in the starting ports in HF/BT and they're on the Alliance Vanguard/horde Expedition reps!

 

[speedpop]

I could probably link through some, but it really depends on what type of facts you want to know. In-game glitches? Areas not accessible easily? Or story themed things such as Grom's monument?

[Kyoufu]

I'd rather see a service for transferring achievements from one character to another.

 

[water_wendi]

There have been a lot of clever easter eggs in wow. i think the one that i love the most is the Buckaroo Banzai easter egg in 1k Needles. i remember questing out there seeing the crash and not thinking much about it. i laughed hard when eventually i moved to Tanaris and saw the reference in full :lol

 

[Tamanon]

That's coming in Cataclysm, they're switching achievements to be account-wide with the Battle.net integration.

Yea no shit right? id totally be down for that. i used to be kind of explore/exploit minded before Blizzard introduced achievements. Now i dont do as much crazy stuff for fear of being perma-banned.

edit: i missed my point cause AV popped lol. Basically achievements are the most important thing to me right now. Levels, gear and gold i dont care about at all. :lol

Let's see.. some of these still work, some of them don't anymore. You'll most likely find that these videos will mean nothing once Cataclysm hits due to flying mounts everywhere and the whole makeshift of Azeroth being completely changed.

Troll city underneath old Karazhan - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftorkeUu-4s

Old Karazhan used to be awesome to fiddle around with because it was such a mid-development thing I believe, so you could do a lot of things in that zone that you couldn't anywhere else. That all changed when Burning Crusade hit though.



Other than that, you can't go much further than checking out xHellfire's Secrets of WoW videos on youtube. A lot of the stuff he shows is only accessible through a modelviewer and such, but it's still great to check out some things that are in the game just not accessible by conventional means.

Yeah i read that on wowwiki. Should still get a discount for my stormwind rep. Doesnt really matter, got it now and spent a couple of hours flying around

 

[water_wendi]

i have to say, using AV to level 70+ on my battlegroup is a freaking joke. ive done about 10 games over the last 5 hours or so.. everyone one of them an alli lose where we dont even take 1 tower. i think in one game we got Galv. Every time the raid goes straight to Galv and wipes when 20 horde are there waiting. People get all pissed when i try to tell them to go to IBGY.. secure it first.. then get towers then galv. Its such a waste of time to spend 30 minutes for no xp.

The sad thing is.. on my horde characters.. we rarely win AV in the new 80 only bracket. i starting to feel like im always stuck with the morons and its pissing me off :lol

 

[NameGenerated]

lots of cool stuff

There's also a little Goblin city on an island really far south below Tanaris, practically off the world map. You need Water Walking to get there. I thought it was kinda neat.

I completely forgot about that. When I went and tried visiting it, it was back when you could only water walk literally but I never could reach it due to the fatigue. These days I can Ghost Wolf and mount water walk so the whole process is a lot easier.. but back then I circumnavigated both Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms on my Shaman the old way. Whole process took me hours but it was stupid fun.

Yea that place is part of a questline for the AQ opening. i love finding odd places like that. King of amazing that most of the seemingly fluff places are used for something at least.

 

[elitehebrew]

Is it possible to move a character from one account to another? B/c i've made a character on my friends account and spent a while on him now I got my own account....Please say it is lol.

 

[NameGenerated]

Yeah but it costs 25 dollars. =\

 

[keeblerdrow]

Yes. Paid character transfer is possible if both account are under the same name. If you and your friend don't have those matched up (all of my friend use the same name/address for these purposes), you cannot transfer the character to your account. If everything is okay there, it'll only cost you $25.

Appreciate that. I guess i'll make the account under his name but with my email so I get all the info. Thanks for your time.

So unhappy atm, I am a cox cable subscriber, and everyday for the last week during prime time, I am having incredible lag issues, but only on my server. I can log onto a different server and there will not be a hiccup of lag at all. This is happening to all cox cable people in my area, on that data center for WoW, but Blizzard refuses to acknowledge the issue and thus will not fix it.

Have you contacted Cox? Chances are you pay more money to them per month then Blizzard, and resolution of these issues is rarely in the hands of one party (or even two parties, but getting the ISP involved who gets your payment every month is the best move you can make).

 

[Macattk15]

Faction change in process ... already switched servers ... they should move your ENTIRE account over for $55.

Cox has said its an AT&T issue with one of their hops or whatever. Sucks.

 

[NameGenerated]

Where do you live? I use Cox (Virginia here) and hardly get any lag besides the usual Wintergrasp clusterfuck. Sometimes my spells might be slightly delayed or something but it's nothing severe.

 

[viewtifulsub]

Just need one light in the dark for my rusted proto-drake.
Having done firefighter and hearing that 1 light is a lot easier is really getting on my nerves that we didn't do it tonight

1 Light is all about execution, dont hit clouds in p1 + dispell & position correctly for p2 = free achievement. Use 1 tank + 2 healers.
Helps if you have a pally to BOP any melee dps that get picked up by a tentacle on their way to a portal.

Didn't have the raid composition to do 25 man hard mode twins last night, so we went and took down three tree Freya and started working on Firefighter. Fun fight, but FML trying to keep an imp alive through that is a PITA. Letting him die or stay passive is not an option w/ Empowered Imp + 2pt9 set bonus.

On our Firefighter kills, im sure our Locks put their pets in a stationary position not nearby any raiders to avoid it being killed by a napalm. Then afterwards would put it on follow for the p2&3 constant movement.
Good luck though, its still a tricky fight with the huge boost in gear.


Anybody on or killed Anub TOC25 hardmode yet?
Rest of the instance is on farm, but we're struggling on this fight. Though im not suprised, as only 80-something guilds have actually managed to down the bastard.
Fight requires some insane dps and tank/raid coordination.
