A Couple Months Later..

A couple of months have passed since I’ve updated this blog and a lot has happened here is a quick breakdown.

After getting thru the main World of Warcraft Cataclysm quest lines I moved to working on randoms. Unfortunately my guild was already raiding the bigger dungeons and I was left behind. I pugged a bit and for a while I was moving up the latter but it came to a point where I felt like I was grinding for gear, it wasn’t fun anymore. I started to do weekly runs with a small group of friends but since it was the summer a lot of them had other responsibilities and shortly after they moved on to other things. I tried my best to keep myself distracted in WoW by crafting, exploring, doing low level quests, and even PVP, but nothing really did it for me. In the end I came to the realization that I need to give the game a break and move on to other things.

As of right now I’m exploring other MMO’s and diving into the free-to-play realm of MMOs. I’ll post some updates soon on my thoughts on them.

 

Updated TankSpot Guides for Cataclysm

Everyone knows that TankSpot is a great place to find videos and strategies for WoW raids and dungeons. The only issue I have found with these is they are in a form and not in any kind of order. So I have taken the time to order them all on one page so you can easily find the video you are looking for.

Each encounter is organized by instance and also by type of raid (10/25 man or regular/heroic). I have gone ahead and complied a list of all the Cataclysm Raids and Instances videos they have up at the moment and they link off to either the Tankspot website post or their YouTube video.

You can find the list by clicking the link below or buy clicking the “TankSpot Guides” on the top nav.

Hope you enjoy!

Lvl 85 and Beyond

Last night I was able to get Jakstone, my Human Priest to lvl 85. Cataclysm has been out for almost a month now but it only really took me around a week to get him from 80 to 85. With the holiday and all I was super busy with work and in my RL (Real Life) and really only have very few hours during some of the weekends in December to actually get on a lvl a bit.
The actual leveling seemed to go fairly quickly and was quite fun.

I decided to start at Vashj’irwhich honestly wasn’t one of my favorite places. Maybe it was because when I started there it was like being in Time Square on New Years Eve. There where a crazy amount of people there and I was also dealing with being in a new place and since all mechanics changed for mana I felt like I was having a really tough time.

After Vashir I spend my time in Deepholm. My experience there seemed to be much better and I felt like I was really progressing through the storyline as I looked for the fragments of The World Piller.

The last place I leveled in was Uldum which was my favorite place of all. Not only did it have a great art style but I like the Indiana Jones like quests and the architecture of the zone. When I got done with the zone and all the quest lines I actually felt a bit sad that there wasnt anymore.

But now that Jakstone is 85 its time to move on, start grinding for better gear, max out professions and explore the other two zones I wasn’t able to get to. There is still a long and exciting road ahead. I just hope I’m able to follow it.

Loremaster 1/4

I’m happy to announce I am now Loremaster of Eastern Kingdom. My next goal is Kalimdor which shouldn’t be too tough since I only have 100 more quests till I reach it. So t-minus 31 days and counting till I will be screwed unless I get this achievement.

The Calm Before The Storm (aka the cataclysm that destroys the world as we know it and leaves us all crying for our mommies)

The date for the destruction of Azeroth is set and it will change the way we play WoW forever. I have mixed reaction about this huge change. The beauty of Azeroth will be scared and will only be a memory in our minds. On the other hand new adventure and excitement will await us and new life will come from death. Either way Deathwing is coming and there is nothing stopping from destroying the world.. well except me and you.

To prepare for this Cataclysmic event I am not in over drive mode to get some of those achievements that arnt going to so easy to get when Deathwing knocks at our door. One of those is “Loremaster of Eastern Kingdom” and “Loremaster of Kalimdor”. This is a HUGE Pain but I’m pretty close to the end.

Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms

Since it is Hallow’s End at the moment I am struggling to get the “A Mask for All Occasions”. This is the second time around me trying to get this achievement which is all based on luck. I have only 3 more masks to loot yet I have had no luck what so ever. There is still a couple of days left so hopefully the ghost and ghouls of the underworld are kind to me.

A Mask for All Occasions

So what are you doing reading this post!? Can’t you see we are all doomed? Get of there and enjoy the world you know and love because on December 7th 2010 Deathwing is going to smash it under his fiery claws while giving you the finger… It’s ok.. don’t cry.

Now that our vacation to the port of Ashenvale was over, a fellow guildie and I dozed off and dreamt of the adventures we were about to embark on as we sailed deep into the Veiled Sea.
