Nowhere Left

Been pre-occupied with class finals and raiding 10-man Obsidian Sanctum (along with nightly guild raids)…. I promise more posts soon.

Until then, enjoy some Mel Gibson:

Remember Level 60 Raiding? Like Molten Core 40mans?

Some of the millions of subscribers surely do… maybe not the Burning Crusade generation or any new players starting off in Wrath of the Lich King era.  Those were some good ol’ days of raiding.  Days where it did not matter so much if you did not have a full raid.  Back then some of the fights seemed so hard to master but by today’s standards, they’re a piece of cake.

My Warlock and a Protection Paladin friend of mine 2-manned a good 2/5 of Molten Core, check back later for an update!

Lemon Demon – The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

After four days, Uriahworld finally has his [Fool For Love] achievement complete! The part that most players have trouble with is the [Be Mine!] achievement because it’s a random item from the Gifts you can only obtain every hour.  Blizzard acknowledged the low drop rate that many players had with the [Bag of Candies] and it was fixed in a hotpatch last Friday night.

Turned out to be an OK Valentine’s Day.  I did a Molten Core clear that I’ll post about within a few days.

Coldarra could be spotted fishing in Grizzly Hills these past few days.

He has migrated from standing around in the Stormwind Canals to Northrend, after reaching 330 Fishing skill.  His skill is actually 450 buffed up with  [Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole] & [Sharpened Fish Hook].  The next step after wondering to Northrend is asking, “Where exactly should I fish.. and where can I fish?!”  That can be answered by one of my favorite WoW websites, El’s Extreme Anglin’ Fishing Guide.

El’s Extreme Anglin’ will tell you that most of the Northrend (the southern half) only requires 380 skill to cast and 480 to avoid “Get Aways”.  This means that at skill 450, some fish still eluded my poor Death Knight but not enough to make you fish worthless fish in Outland or anywhere else.  Some misses are worth it when you’re getting good fish you can actually use. 

Grizzly Hills was the chosen fishing hole because of the [Glacial Salmon] Schools of fish that spawn in the zone.  My warlock uses these fish in cooking for the spell power food [Firecracker Salmon].  Some other notable fish caught in this zone are the [Bonescale Snapper] and [Fangtooth Herring] which can both be cooked and sold on the Auction House or put in the Guild Bank.

One of the little perks from fishing is catching the parasitical [Pygmy Suckerfish].  Since Patch 3.0.8, the drop rate for these has seemed to double!  The great part is that you catch them along with whatever fish would have normally been hooked.

Alchemist can make the [Pygmy Oil] from this for use in Flasks. You can also drink 8 of them see what happens….

Last night marked the [Heroic: Twilight Duo] achievement for 25 of my guildies.

On our first night of trying Sartharion with two drakes up, we earned our achievement!

I must admit it is a very interesting fight.  It’s one that you must watch your footing, surroundings and aggro even more so then many fights in WOTLK.  We finished off the Two Drakes with around 10 players dead.  This made the actual boss fight (Sartharion) take a good 7minuites it seemed.  I know that three heroisms were used throughout the entire encounter.  We’ve been fortunate to have two-three shamans in our 25mans lately.

Been busy all of yesterday with the Love is in the Air Warcraft event.
I finished up almost half of the achievements needed for the [Fool For Love].  In all, I think I spent around 4 hours in the major cities to make 3 [Alliance Gift Collection].  The only achievement to really elude me so far is [Be Mine!] which is a random thing comparable to the Halloween mask achievement [A Mask for All Occasions].

The night ended with us finishing up Naxxramas for the week and then getting a two-shot kill on Malygos.  That makes the 2nd week that my guild has killed Heroic Malygos.

Ah fishing… every one’s favorite profession on WoW.

Personally, I don’t mind fishing.  It pairs well with playing Bejeweled (addon) and talking on Vent or listening to some music.

My first max-level alt, Coldarra, is out to get his fishing up.  Everything is always maxed on my warlock and I like to keep that the same across both characters.

I earned the [1000 Fish] achievement shortly after reaching around skill 280.  The great thing about fishing is that you can now stand in one spot forever to skill up off catching fish.  I skilled up my warlock’s fishing by actually having to go to higher zones in classic WoW and then doing the same for Outlands in TBC expansion.

This means you can skill up to about 30-50 and go stand outside the Wailing Caverns and fish up something good like [Deviate Fish]!

Players have it easy now when it comes to fishing, so if anyone complains..  well, they fail.
