Running in circles, for fun and profit

It’s not that I don’t feel like posting, It’s just that I don’t have much to say today.
I talked about professions for my characters a few days ago. In that I decided to take a 61 hunter (Dechion) and have him as Mining and Engineering at 80. At that time he was Skinning and Herbing. Since [...]

A bit about Macro’s

Let me start by saying that I absolutely fail at using trinkets.
I am actually so bad that at one point I went looking for ones with no “on use” features at all, just so I would not feel bad about never using them. Well, I finally did come up with a solution for it. I [...]

A little politeness goes a long way

There was a time not so very long ago that I wondered where I would be a few weeks after Wrath went live. I wondered how the new areas would “feel”. That was one thing I really could not check on the Beta. In my opinion the character of the zone, the whole server in [...]

Fishing and cooking 375 to 450, the lazy way

Yes, I know. Spend more than 12 seconds coming up with a title.
The title fits, sue me.
Sometime soon I will be going and updating my guides to leveling Fishing and Cooking to reflect the new changes. Until then I am going to make a bit of a “addon” in the form of this post. Actually it [...]

A prime example of coffee deprivation

The title says it all.
Something happened yesterday when I got to work, something bad. I went about my daily routine, checking all the things I am responsible for for problems, dropping my lunch off for later, and getting settled in for the day. I did this all blissful unaware that a mere 20 feet away [...]

Profession balance, and why it is a bad thing

It appears that I have a bit of a problem.
Blizzard, in their infinite wisdom balanced all the professions. Not only did they balance them, but they made the vast majority of items BOE. That effectively removed “must have” professions from the game.
Now you can have pretty much any combination of trade skills without hindering yourself [...]

Random Acts of Kindness

Yesterday I had an interesting experience. I was happily questing away on Drupadi, slowly crawling my way from 71 to 72.  I don’t know if it was just the area I was in but the asshats seemed to be out in full force. Plenty of mob stealing and such. There were a few examples of [...]

Gone Fishing

Many of my plans have changed since I first started planning for Wrath.
Here I wondered if my newest hunter, Dechion, would make 70 before Wrath hit. The answer? No he did not. He in fact made 60 Wednesday evening and is now parked in the inn at Honor Hold waiting for me to get back to [...]

You forgot WHAT!

I was reading a post written by Larisa at the Pink Pigtail Inn this morning. She talked about her experiences with the midnight release of WotLK in her town. I Unfortunately have been a bit sickly of late. That coupled with the fact that I had to be up at 3:30 in the morning kept me comfortably [...]

Tick Tock

Tick Tock.
Can you hear it?
The sound in the distance?
Tick Tock.
Louder it gets, with each passing moment.
Mere hours to go until the invasion begins.
Tick Tock.
My bags are packed, my gear prepared, my affairs are in order.
My gun is cleaned and oiled, my powder is dry.
Tick Tock.
The crowd is gathered, each quietly making ready in their own mind.
The [...]
