  • Currency & Gear, pt2

    The blues have been out giving us some more information on the currency changes, particularly the conversion rates http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=14574620792&sid=1&pageNo=3#43 and the important bits are… The following items are immediately converted to gold: Emblem of Heroism = 5.5 gold each Emblem of Valor = 5.5 gold each Emblem of Conquest = 5.5 gold each Badge of…

  • 4.0.1

    Apparently it’s on the background downloader, with the first part clocking in at a mighty 1.5Gb or so.  Given recent history I guess we’re looking at two weeks or so before it drops.

  • Currency

    So the web is abuzz with the latest bit of news to drop from the 4.0.1 PTR, currency cleanup As of 4.0.1 we’ll have Justice Points (equivalent to Emblems of Triumph at the moment) Valor Points (equivalent to Emblems of Frost at the moment) Honor Points (equivalent to Honor Points) Conquest Points (equivalent to Arena…

  • Team Pirate: Weekly raid quest

    We’re skipping it this week.  It’s Eye of Eternity and given it’s habit of bugging harder than an ants nest with the group on Phase three I am unilaterally declaring (unless I get a roar of protest) that we’re going straight into Ulduar.

  • Guild Master – rank change for Cata

    http://www.wow.com/2010/09/15/cataclysm-beta-guild-ranks-can-be-set-to-require-authenticator/ This has to be possibly the single killer change for Guild leaders in Cataclysm, forget guild perks, forget the extra gold flowing into the bank without having to do anything.  Mass summoning, a gimmick nothing more. Allowing guild ranks to be setup to require an authenticator, now this is something special, no accessing the…

  • Wrath, a retrospective… the bits I missed

    So, as various commentators have pointed out I missed a few things while writing my last piece on Wrath. Raiding (or the little ones I forgot) Obsidian Sanctum A simple enough raid, kill the mini-bosses, nuke the big boss, control the adds and dodge the (moving) bad.  I like the simplicity of engaging the various…

  • Ulduar 10 – Planning

    So looking at the team, we have the following U10 capable toons, those I think are the most likely candidates are flagged blue, there are also some combinations which are impossible as there are less people than toons in the list (for example Korenwolf / Unferth / Wubbles are all on the same account) Tanks…

  • Wrath, a retrospective

    There has been some noise out on the intertubes about whether Wrath has been a good or bad expansion, so I reckon it’s time to throw my hat into the ring.  I started in WoW around patch 2.1 or so, and didn’t hit 70 on my first toon until sometime shortly before the Isle of…
