I need a vacation

Christmas vacation was nice. But I need another vacation to recover from that one. So does Wulfa. She's been haulin' butt to get to lvl 39 and now she has to stay there. Dammy wants to get a mount at the same time and he's only lvl 33. I understand. It would be hard to hear your mate crow about her new wolfie when you still have several lvl's to go before you get yours. But Dammy wants 500 gold by the time he reaches lvl 39. No problem, but exactly how am I supposed to contribute when I can't get any xp? Run Wailing Caverns over and over again. The greens that drop Zujoo can disenchant. Anything higher than that and he has a bit of trouble getting the soul dust etc. that sells so nicely on the AH. And the light leather does add up eventually. 120 light leathers=30medium leather=6 heavy leather=1 thick leather. But I decided that it would be better to just play an alt while Dammy catches up. So I rolled a Blood Elf paladin. She's pretty and dainty

And ding! 33

Klaki stopped in yesterday to wish me and wulfa a happy new year and a merry belated Christmas. I was so stunned it took me like 5 min to figure out where I knew the name from. I had to scan my entire guild list first :P. Speaking of our guild things have livened up a bunch recently. I had started a practice of congratulating people who I recognize if their level was greater than the level I saw them last at. But Saturday R----- and I spent the whole morning chatting, and now we are both trying to help Beowulfa level her LW. She is at 228 now and I'm trying to focus on doing quests that involve killing skinnables. R------ is also trying to get people to use his jewelry and stuff. So I volunteered my fingers. I'm on a pvp server.. so I don't mind when the alliance come through and kill everything. Even when they kill of my quest mobs and my innkeeper and my flight master. But when Ally priests mindcontrol all of the city mobs and make them walk off the cliff

Ding32!

Druids aren't the only ones that hibernate. I'd been hibernatin for a few weeks while my cousin Zujoo grew up. But now I'm back. I picked up an awesome hammer that gave me ~23dps, 11str, 4stm and a 2.5 attack speed. My wonderful guildie Darkkon called his cousin(alt) and had it crafted just for me. And I'm using this new axe!... new stuff all around. I think +48 str, +54agi, and 13.69% crit is pretty good for my season. I also found a great shield off of a night elf druid guarding their crappy treasure north of the Stonetalon MOuntains. Oh I didn't mention that? Yeah some lazy blood elf with a grudge against night elves told me to kill Ordanus(he's a centaur night elf.. you know 4 legs, normal torso) and she would reward me. Her reward was telling me that the night elves had this 'awesome' treasure trove in the north west. Yeah right... it just had a ring, some bleh heavy mail gear, and a shirt that was okay. I'm still wearing the shirt.

A little shiny yellow thing . . .

Bah! The little yellow dots drive me nuts! There is a new addition to the Dammerung clan. His name is Arthes, which I have been told is very similar to the name of the really bad guy who did some really bad thing in the WOW lore. This was not intentional, I just wanted him to have a name similar to Arthur, legendary king and knight. Arthes is a hulking Draenei paladin who's having fun bashing and hammering things. He decided to pick up herb-garthering, which brings me to the main point: I hate the little yellow dots! Yes, it means there's an herb waiting for me to pick up. Yes, more herbs=good things. But I find myself following the dots no matter where I was headed or where the little dot is located. So I end up in the most out-of-the-way places. I can't stop-it's like the color red to a bull. Bah again! It's like BBB with his trees. Just one more! Sorry, after this I'll stop. Really! Dammy made a Draenei hunter, a little dainty thing called Kylii

A post!

So Beowulfa recieved the Burning Crusade as one of her many christmas presents. As a side note, she also recieved a picture of a chick with a pet lion. Sort of like Angharad. Anyways, we're poking Drenai characters in a "ooo that would be cool" kind of way. Since it was her birthday present and all... and if the characters were not BElf or Spacegoat then it wouldn't be using the present! So we're going to at least get them to 10. And BElf's are too... pretty in an ugly way. I don'ts like them. She doesn't like them(much?). I said Spacegoat. She quickly created a male drenai priest(this morning). We talked about it at lunch and she's going to make a paladin instead, I think. I slightly warned her off of priest because I've heard they solo about as well as a warrior heals. I'm.... undecided. We have warrior, paladin, mage, priest, shaman, hunter. I've been told I need to be something tankish. So mage and priest are gone. I'm definin

How life rolls

I currently have the following key bindings: 1 = The really fast mana inefficiant healing spell highest current rank 2 = Lightning bolt highest current rank 3 = Earth Shock highest current rank 4 = Lightning shield HCR 5 = Flame Shock HCR Middle Mouse Roll up = Mana Stream Totem Middle Mouse Roll down = Macro: /cast bloodfury(orc racial) /cast Strength of Earth Totem HCR Middle mouse click = The fire totem that shoots bolts of fire for low damage at mobs. Shift-M-Mouse roll down = Ghost wolf(1sec cast) Shift-M-Mouse roll up = Healing Wave HCR My current fighting style goes something like this: 1) Cast lightning bolt at mob 2) Throw down mana and SoE totem, for elites use the recast icon of bloodfury to know when my totems wear off. 3) Mob gets in melee range, begin beating. 4) Save earth shock for runners or for mob spell casters 5) Use key binding = "1" if needbe 6) If I a haven't used ES and I don't need a heal and my lightning shield is down then recast.

The difference between RP and XP.(RAMBLE)

Before I start. Let me say this: Windfury windfury how I love thee, you make me so happy, windfury! When you crit, I start to cry, tears of joy pour from my eyes! Windfury Windfury how I love thee, you make me so happy, Windfury! Okay, now that that painful example of why orcs are not named Byron or Tennyson is out of the way, I can get on to my main subject. I love the way Shaman characters look. I love the idea of the totems, the mail, the crit based combat, the extra hits. I mean I'm a combination of the bard in FFXI and a barbarian from dnd. Huge axe, aoe buffs with 2 min durations. I love the idea that I'm a wandering diplomat between us(races with skin) and them(the elemental races). I even love the playstyle(WINDFURY) again. Reincarnation was always my favorite WCIII hero ability, doing 600+ damage in 1 white swing at level 30... its only happened once but when it happens you stop EVERYTHING and think... did I really just do that? This is what I mean about RP. I mean thi

Merry Christmas!

'Twas the morning of Christmas, when all through the house, The children were active, disturbing a mouse. The stockings, all hung by the chimney with care, Gave ample proof that Saint Nick had been there. The children all jumped with glee from their beds And pounded our door, as we lifted our heads. And Mother, who was rather irritable said, "It's four in the morning, now get back to bed!" Then Mama in her gown and I in my cap, Settled to bed for a four hour nap. At eight that same morning, there arose such a clatter, I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter. Away from my bed, I jumped like a flash, It had come from the kitchen, and there I did dash. The tree was alight, the candles did wink And the light from the kitchen caused me to blink. Then what to my wondering eyes should appear, Then my children looked guilty, and close to tears. My daughter, Molly, so lively and quick Gave a gulp of her throat and a lick of her lips And with these two gestures she began

Who got me into Wow . . .

That would be Dammy . He brought out the inner nerd in me. Before I met him I would have described myself as athletic, bookwormish (it wasn't me that read through that dictionary for fun), and so NOT a gamer. Then Dammy and I met one fateful day in a bookstore and my doom was sealed. He started asking me to try various games to see if there was one we could play together. I was on a roll, not liking any of them, when he introduced me to WOW. I was instantly hooked by the character creation screen. I started playing around with a dwarf, finally settled on a warrior. I called her Adalwolfa . (I created a priest while Dammy wasn't around and promptly got her killed and have since avoided the healer types.) I look back and sigh about how much I didn't know about WOW and about gaming lingo. I still have to ask for translations as I'm reading through guild/general/trade chat. But I'm officially a nerd/geek/ whatever you call the gaming type. I was at my wo

Christmas christmas so far away.

Waiting on christmas is slow and boring. A thought I had while waiting. Imagine if you are a new raider, and you guys just down [X] mob and all the plate wearing people rejoice as this awesome plate item drops. You are just happy to be here and not doing anything so you scroll over to click on pass and BLAM your daughter reaches forwards and taps your mouse button and GAH YOU ROLLED NEED! Oh crap you win the roll. So here you are... a new raider and you've just accidently NINJA'd on an awesome rare epic amazing item you can't use.(In this example you are a Shaman). So in my mind, the Shaman goes like this: "oh crap guys... oh crap oh crap.... I didn't mean to... what do I have to do to pay for that.. how can I make up taking something that is rare and hard to get?" Shaman offers to pay all plate repair bills, and forfeits all DKP or other similair gear point systems. Anyways... my silly morning daydreams aside, what measures does your g

Newest high damage: 353! I think

Level 28... still need about 25k to get to 29. Shaman is fun again, but such a complete change from warlock. I've been frustrated with how careful I have to be. No more dot dot dot, while my pet holds agro. Warlock and Hunter are indeed easy mode. I critted for 353 last night. I think thats my highest ever. Flurry is loverly. Played a lot of HALO... went from bad: 1 kill - 12 deaths on average to "good" 6kills 8 deaths on average. My brother complains about having to carry the team. Of the roughly 50 games I've played this weekend we've won about 48. These numbers are all estimates but I can only recall losing 2 games. He's level 50? and a general. I don't play halo so I don't know how good that is. I asked him if he has the season three gear and he looked at me like I was stupid. Trying to explain WoW to someone who has never played an rpg... is difficult. I was asked about 10 times today "So how do you win?". Ooo th

Late post.

Sorry for the late post. Our cave has recently been a lot more crowded than I'm used to. My warrior brother is up visiting us, and also Beowulfa's clan. Her father is a very numbers oriented magical engineer who works for Thrall and helps audit/estimate the safety of the D.C.R.O.P.(Drenai Cityship Replication Otherworlds Project). His coworks talk about silly things like visits to the moon. Her mother is a no-nonsense Warrior who works at the local Y.O.T.A.(Young Orcs Training Association) and guards the swimming pool. Because I guess warlocks in ogrimar are too lazy to cast Unending Breath on kids swimming. Her brother is a thin Orc who is -very- good with a Kodo Bone Guitar and wants to be a lead singer in Level 70 Elite Tauren Chieftain. Well not really, he backup sings for a band that sounds sorta like certain paladins who like body-to-body combat. Her other brother is my kinda Orc. He plays goalee for his local Gnome-kicking-game and also likes to beat things with

Shadowfang Keep

So Dammy suggested that myself and brother-in-law Honestbear (he really should have gone for Honeybear-it woulda been soooo cute!) do Shadowfang Keep. Apparently it dropped plentiful greens and some blues and Honeybear (I think I'll call him that for my own amusement) would be getting xp since he's still way young in seasons. We get there, I go in and the music starts playing. It was awesome! So I get all set up for a great run. And then I notice how shut in and close everything was. Stairs and turns galore. But that's ok, we'll survive. But then Orclette draws major aggro from Dammy and suddenly I'm the leader, with no clue about where to go and feeling more and more claustrophobic. But I can easily handle everything in here, so we forge ahead. The first couple of bosses were fairly easy so I gained confidence in my leadership abilities. Then we get to the large wolf boss (no clue what his name was) and we kill him, no problem. Then I notice Hnoeybear&

Random Babblings...

Edited adding stuff down at the bottom. Googled myself to see if I could find the wordpress site I've been playing around with... I couldn't find it but here it is: http://twoandahalforcs.wordpress.com/ I also found out about Technorati: http://s.technorati.com/ It is sort of cool looking your self up. Beowulfa this lady has a nice site AND has a guide for leveling LW. Since you had mentioned it. http://justawowgirl.blogspot.com/2007/12/leatherworking-and-you.html I -really- like TJ 's random text posts on the upper right of her page, so I've been poking at Wordpress thinking how I want to get something like that. I am a procrastonater, I am lazy, and I tend to think "ooo I wish I knew how to" instead of "Okay I'm going to read and learn how to". I've started more projects then I can remember and finished... one? This said there are several projects I -really- plan and am working on completing. In RL: 1) Get a character to 40(and then to 70).

Combined We are twice as ORK!

I hate hate hate removing people from my blog roll. But I had too many that I just didn't read often enough.... or who didn't post very often. /sigh. So I cleaned it up and added two new ones who I read a lot, or who post a lot and I want to read more. Herk ! He's my new hero. Renoobed will probably pity me. This guy ! Dammy asked me to comment on TJ's posting about triplets, probably because I'm a mom and it was a mom thing so I'm an expert, right? Or so his thought process probably went. I only have one little orc so I really have no perspective on what it would be like to have triplets or twins but my thought is that with multiples you have twice/triple as much non-existent time to do things and it's twice/triple as hard BUT you only go through the pregnancy process once, the infancy stage once, the toddler stage once, and then they go off to school and YOU NEVER EVER HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. I thought it would be wonderful, when we found out about Orclette,

I'm rich! Oh, wait . . .

Darn it, Zujoo needs money again and Dammy wants to respec his shaman. There goes another 10 gold. Bah. Yeah, I'm richer than I ever have been in this lovely game but I'm also the financial provider to two needy orcs. It's true they supply me with most of my auctionable stuff but they don't have to work very hard to get it. I, on the other hand, have started having dreams about playing the AH. This is not a sign of overplay, anything I've done that day is fair game for my brain that night, but it was rather weird to wake up and remember dreaming about soul dust. So, to get back to what I was saying. I wake up and scan the AH. I check my mail, put the stuff Zujoo sent me on auction, and then an hour later check back to scan again. Put the stuff that expired on at a slightly lower price that what it was before (unless prices recently skyrocketed) so it will sell. I try not to undersell too much. It's a good way to have the bottom drop out from under yo

On turning 30

We've been messin' around Arathi Basin, Susan and I. Having fun, beating the snot out of the Alliance. But I'd been thinking that it's about time we go into the outside world again and sharpen up our skills. Breathe the fresh air, flex our wings, that type of thing. Susan completely agreed with me (no, I can't speak raptor but we got that spirit bond thingy that lets us communicate). So we left Orgrimmar and the Arathi Basin and took a good look at our quests. Nothin' seemed too exciting but we traveled to a Thousand Needles and messed around a bit. Dinged 30. Felt sad about that. Gettin' old. Still felt a bit lost but we were starting to get the feel of huntin' again. Dammy suggested we go to Ashenvale so we trotted up there and started knocking out green quests. Come up against a lvl 35 warlock and for some reason I saw 55. Dang nabbit, I thought, I'm a gonner. So I played dead. It didn't work. That warlock came up and start

Character burnout(a survivors story).

Level 29 how I hate thee. Level 28 was great, lots of pvp victories and milestones. Lots of NEW and SHINEY. Level 28 was a blink. Level 29... dragged on and on. Level 28 we did WC and never died(our warlock Zujoo is awesome at CC) and got lots of loot. Level 29, we did Razorfen Kraul and died 3 times(our warlock Zujoo sucks at CC) and got 2 greens(one from the escort the goblin quest). Level 28 the allies I ran accross would /salute or /laugh. Level 29 I never even saw the stupid hunter or the rogue, I did see the paladin and his level 70 friend and tried to make them feel bad by not even fighting back, the mage I never saw either. Level 28 I played with smart horde and we won a lot in BG. Level 29 I was told that Having huge zerg fights over the farm was more fun then trying to control anything else..... I spent most of yesterday planning my Nightelf/Drenai hunter/druid/warrior/rogue/paladin on Etrigg(the server Angharad is on). Zujoo wasn't fun... Zujoo was frustratio

Wailing Awesomes.(Ding 29)

Our motley group did WC thursday night. Downed all the bosses with ease. WoWWiki says a level 30 5man wiped once on Verdan the Everliving. I think they must have been trying to wipe because he died in about 10 seconds. Mutanex was a pain to me... only because I didn't know he was immune to EVERY shadow spell I had. It took me 1/2 into the fight to realize this because I usually fire and forget. He lasted about 20 seconds. And I'm not exagerating. CoA lasts 24 seconds ... I have a good idea of how long fights last. There are several reasons that WC was so fun: 1) Beowulfa was able to party with us even though we didn't have a sitter! This is so awesome you don't even know. This let us know that we can play as a couple without NEEDING a sitter. It was so very very nice. 2) Two hunters and a warlock make a fun party. Absolutely no healing but everyone is already familiar with not pulling hate off the tank(Susan). Also lots of DPS and CC. 3) CC practice

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone! This is my favorite holiday. Winner by a landslide. The cool, crisp air, the turning colors, the second ice storm-that-threatens-to-wipe-out-power in my first year here. Bah humbug. We lost power for a little over a week last year. But that's not what this post is about. It's a merry, cheery post. I was going to be a total history nerd and look up the history/origins of Christmas and tastefully weave it in. But I'm too busy. Orclette loves me way too much to give me time to research. So instead I'll just rhapsodize and share what our holiday traditions are. I'm one of those people who finish the Thanksgiving feast and then hop up to put up the Christmas decorations. Dammy is not, so this causes friction. But I eventually have my way and the tree is put up and fluffed (hee hee. I was rather shocked when I learned an alternative definition of that word), ornaments hung, candles bought and put up. Lights we hung inside this y

Some thoughts on PvP

Knowing the real number of marks you need is important. The stupid trinket(+4stm +20? spell penetration) is 30 marks not 20. Trotting all the way out to the stupid WSG vendor in Barrens just to find out you don' have enough marks is demoralizing. Behold a shiny map! The yellow is where I like to stay, I'm pre-emptive defense, and able to quickly run forwards and escort a flag runner if I need to. The red dots are where my team-mates should be if they would magically obey my thoughts. You would stay in Zone defense 90% of the time. Unless chasing an enemy with your flag. When escorting he second the next wave of escorts arrived you would take out anyone near bye and head back to your zone. Last night I stayed in the flag room and hated the walls for screwing with my camera. This was a tactical necessity as no one else would. I wish there was a magical score that would say: Zujoo caused 80% of the damage on 90% of the alliance flag runners.(Not that I did but yeah) Because when

Story x 2

I could not decide what to write about. Both Beowulfa and Angie had had noteworthy adventures. Which to write about? I posed this question to Dammy, and like the ever-helpful orc that he is he suggested I write about both. So today is 2 for the price of 1. Beowulfa~ We have discovered Arathi Basin. I hate trying new things, so it took Dammy awhile to convince me to try it. I blame this reluctance on the very first dude I partied with. (I can't remember which character was unfortunate enough to meet him.) He offered to run me through Deadmines. Because I hadn't yet tried this partying thing I agreed. Things went well for awhile although I was not sure whether I was supposed to help him kill things or just stand back and let him rip through everything. Then I had this little box pop up and it wanted me to roll dice for an item. I could press need or greed (I didn't know that closing the little box meant you passed). I, not knowing any better at the time, pressed

Its late.

Dear Flaca, Human Priest of Malfurion. You are the new personal bane of my existance. I wish you many many dead priests. 3games: 6marks in the first 20 min. 1 mark in the last hour and a half. Freakin healers. They had two priests. One of which, Flaca, I've met before. She's almost unkillable. She makes others unkillable. She shrugs off fear, shrugs off dots, and cleanses her entire raid effortlessly. Me and a mage hunted her down for spite(just once)[because she was in our base](alone)[and we were tired of her healing our targets] and it took us 3 min to kill her...and we were both focused on her. GRRRRRR. She is a LARGE reason for why the alliance came back from 2-0 to win that last game. Of the 7 or so WSG games I have played on this character... she was thwarting me (a lot) in about 5 of them. I saw her in all 3 of my losses. Flaca, I salute you....and I dearly wish some twinks would come kill yer mangy human priest hide. 14 of 20 WSG marks. 5 of 30 AB marks.(Focusing on

A question.

I asked this question on the WoW support forums but would be interested t know if anyone here already knew the answer: Can you play WoW in spanish using the US version or do you need a UK key? You need a EU account and need an EU method of payment and need to download the EU version of the game. My question is located here so that I can find it when I get home to see any answers that were posted. http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=3271075789&postId=33532173150&sid=1#0

Warlocks even dot their t's.

I hit level 28 last night yay. I've been leveling slowly the last couple of days because Saturday went badly in RL, Sunday we had much needed us and baby time, and last night WSG distracted me. I played three games. I don't remember the first one. The third one I vaguely remember. But the second one? It had an epic feel to it. After ages at 0-0 we got distracted with killing the other team and saw them JUMP to a 2-0 lead. Several hordies quit out. A few more joined. And Patchy and Cattwinkle(both of their names may be wrong...they are both hunters though), start talking to eachother on /bg. Someone scores for us.... suddenly its 2-1. Then they grab our flag, we flood back on defense and kill the runner, and another ally grabs the flag, we kill her, and another...who gets away and is sprinting for their base and "Patchy picks up the horde flag", and for the first time that night a hordie gets out of their fortress alive with the flag. He begs/orders 2 healers to stay w

I have dinged 40! Finally, after two years of playing, my hunter can wear mail. But I'm not talking about Beowulfa . I'm talking about my Angie. Angie was the third character I created in WOW. The first was a human priest who got herself lost and killed inside of 2 minutes. She got deleted. The second was a dwarf warrior who lasted a bit longer. Then I decided to roll a Night Elf Hunter and I fell head over heels in love. Playing a hunter was soooo fun! Then I got a pet. A nightsaber cat that I named Boru. We rolled through those early levels together having loads of fun. I decided to learn the cloth trade and so made my first gold pieces by selling bolts of linen cloth. I graduated from the island and made my way to Ashenvale . There I stayed throughout my pregnancy. To this day when I make my way over into Ashenvale I get a bit of stomach queasiness and I can smell doritos , the only food I could safely eat at the time. Then I put Angie in an inn and let her rest, in the m

Ding! And a short story!

So I hit 24 last night and now have drain mana ( yay ) and corruption's next level and sense demons. I also went from +25 ish stm and +23 ish int to: +45 stm +38 int with 1 quest(back), 1 limited vendor(belt), 1 drop(gloves), 1 guild bank(off-hand), and 3 auction purchases (pants,shoes,wand). Once I hit 28 I will have +49 stm and +49int. Not bad for someone who won't spend more than a gold on a green item and more than 5g on a blue item. I'm also fully trained, and my demons are as well. I soloed the quest to kill the gnome on top of the waterfall in Stonetalon Mountains which I thought was pretty impressive as he was level 27 and surrounded by level 21-23's. Course I'm a lock so its less impressive. I also died to alliance rogues 3x. Twice to the human rogue on horseback and once to the gnome rogue wandering through on robo -chicken. Belmont! Take this down. I want those who come after me to understand why I have done what I did. Gan'rul su

Testing testing 1 2 3

Trying out a new layout thing. If you were paying attention between 2-3pm CST then you saw our site layout change.. flicker flicker flicker as I tried different ones. Then I found one I liked and called Beowulfa. Then I dutifully changed the "ugly" and found one she liked. Then I cried and asked her to let me find another one...... end result. We like this one. But the colors will probably change. And I still don't have a final "its okay" from PrettyOrc. I linked Apathy in my blog roll. Not huge on the grammer, but thats because he specced DEEP into the common sense tree with a good helping of reality. Mystic stuffs . Fun blog about a paladin I think. Fun anyways. Blessing of Kings . I like it. Well written very paladin. We also moved my comic links into my links and added a Beowulfa section. She has linked Porthos (yeah I know thats not how he spells it but I love three musketeers). I didn't realize how good life was under nananananapppblosghdfljkdh in nov

Being generous in WOW

Orc hubby and meself were discussin the other day how to be giving and generous people in WOW. We firmly believe in the "give and ye shall receive" principle. This brought up an interesting question: how would one "tithe" in the game if we were truly roleplaying and playing Christian orcs? (hee hee, can orcs be religious? They're rather bloodthirsty.) We tossed around a few ideas but none really struck us as brilliant. I feel it would be somewhat weird to walk up to a person and ask if they wanted anything. I don't know about anybody else but I'd be looking for the strings attached to the offer. So suggestions on how to be kind and giving orc brutes would be appreciated. Anyways, the other day a fellow orc asked if he could enchant a few items of mine for free. Thinking that he probably wanted to sharpen up his skills I agreed. Loaned him my items, he gave 'em back, and then, remembering our previous discussion on generosity, I tipped him

Trying to sound grownup.

"Warlocks were once mages, or in case of the orcs , Shamans , who, in pursuit of ever-greater sources of power, abandoned their studies of the Arcane or Nature and delved into darker Shadow -based magic."- WoWWiki I find this, funny? Ironic? I don't know the word. I am level 23 now. Still cheerfully burning things down, but now I am back in Stonetalon mountains. This zone has grown on me. The first time I came here I hated it. I hated the color. I hated the burnt trees. I hated it. Now, I find it soothingly empty. After leveling two characters through Barrens in a month. Bleh. So crowded, so loud, so many alliance. Sure in Stonetalon I'm flagged and am occasionally oneshotted with a 730 damage green warlock spell. But that is rare and the relaxation of quiet channels and no large alliance raids killing all my npc's is nice. The orcish warlock quest for Anwena, introduced me to a cowardly selfish orc. I'll talk more about him tomorrow I think. When I describe

My five :P

Some clean up stuff first. 1)Beowulfa tricked Lance into tagging himself see his blog here: http://lance-dailyrambles.blogspot.com/ 2)Ding 22! I now have my succy, Anwena. She's okay I guess, currently she dies too fast to be worth using. 3)I picked up Atlas, QuestTracker, and Auctioneer 5.0. I also on Saturday picked up Omen.All of these addons make me very happy. QuestTracker probably the most. It gives me focus and points me -almost- directly at where i need to be going. Atlas was almost a dissapointment as all it does is give instance maps with the one I have. /sigh Auctioneer 5.0 is wierd but OOO SHINY. Omen is exactly what I wanted. I very simple threat meter. This allows me to really dance along the aggro line when soloing anything 5 levels higher than me, without actually crossing over and getting myself killed. 4) Pebbles der mage of Datheroc server: " oooo pebbles is playing! I remember him he's good " 5) Rune of Perfection. What does spell penetration do ex
