Fishing and cooking

Fishing 125 yay. Cooking 132? Starting to get close to my level cap for these and am worried because I cannot find anyone to train me in expert cooking or fishing. Someone said that someone told them that a book in Booty Bay could teach you. Although how a book is going to show you how to fish I do not know. Seems like books would avoid water. Some things I hate about being on a pvp server.... hilsbrad is full of angry upset alliance people. and I value my greenish-blue booty too much to wander over there just for the fish I desperately want. Thats right. I want sagefish. And the only place I know of to find them is hilsbrad's river. I do listen. I swear. Ratshag says stay 2handed, because it does more damage. And I'm back to using my ugly staff of WHOMPING. Someone else says stay enhancement because it makes leveling easier... this I disagree with. I think that newbie shamans should go elemental until level 30(when you get windfury weapon prot). At 30 I w

Lots of random stuff and some leftover real life stuff.

Ding 24! Still haven't respecced elemental, but I have regeared towards castery. And it is helping. I have more than 1200 mana now which makes me a happy Dammerung. I'm really really really tempted to respec. All in all it will mean more casting/faster, with slightly less melee damage(right now all I'm really getting from enhance is the crit%). I hate slow 2handed weapons right now for some reason. I desperately would like to have a nice dagger but spending to get one that would get close to the 20 dps that my staff has is out of the question. Finishing up the barrens green quests got me to 24. I think I'm going to continue like that... doing green quests. Its fast, its easy, and as long as I kill everything in my path while doing the quest its like I'm grinding but I get the occasional extra xp from the quest. Tried doing Ragefire Chasm solo last night. Its doable but because they are elites the mobs are entirely not worth it. Hard for me to think right now.

How to tell your raid leader likes the Shammy more than you!

A [grasshopper] drops. And:

I can see!

So when I log in. I can actually see things. Before I'm on top of them. Step by step I turn up the graphics and it still runs smoothly. This is a huge difference from before when I had to turn off EVERYTHING to handle barrens lag. And where I would avoid all larger cities all together because I did not dare risk the lag. Thanksgiving has been great. My parents got to spend a lot of time with Orclette and I was able to sit down and just hold Beowulfa and watch as everyone came to our house for the meal. I think all and all it was a success. Everyone was happy and had a chance to talk with everyone else. Which is good. Hosting thanksgiving for the first time I guess is comparable to leading a raid for the first time. Lots of frantic and a lot of hoping everything goes smoothly and you don't accidently agro a relative. I.... love.... typing.... on.... this... I love it. It is so easy so smooth so shiny so fast. LOVE. Beowulfa you rock. mfd.

Presents

So PrettyOrc is horrible about keeping secrets... because she hates doing so. So right after she bought my christmas/birthday/thanksgiving/anniversery present I found out about it. I now own a new little thinbook mac. Model Name: Mac Model Identifier: MacBook2,1 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 667 MHz To say I'm happy is an understatement. Once I get used to the differences in WoW this will be amazingly better than the old horrible laptop I was using before. I will have to find out exactly how bad and slow my other computer was but... ick. I LOVE MY PRETTYORC. This is so much better than the raptor head socks or the puntable gnome that had been mindcontrolled to run back so that you could punt him again. Best Christmas present ever. Very happy mfd.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving from Dammerung and Orclette!

Cooking

So thanksgiving cooking has started now. PrettyOrc and Orclette's Grandma are splitting the kitchen duties and I'm handling Orclette agro atm. In general its been awesome to see my parents again. And Orclette has been complete enthralled with the attention she is getting. Posts will be short and sweet for the next couple days. mfd out.

Emerald Dream

All stats are thanks to: Okoloth Realm Balance (Level 70 Only) - 1st November 2007 Emerald Dream Druid Hunter Mage Paladin Priest Rogue Shaman Warlock Warrior 10.2% 13.3% 12% 12.8% 10.6% 13.1% 4.6% 10.5% 12.9% 9.1% 10.9% 12.2% 6.9% 11.6% 11.9% 10.8% 12.8% 13.8% 52.5% Alliance 47.5% Horde I'm posting this mostly because I like pretty percentage points but also because some poor missinformed hordelings thought we were outnumbered 5 to 1 by the Confederation of People Favoring Genocide or Enslavement. /grin mfd.

Some questions I have.

1) For Shaman what stat affects spell crits and if I was going to respec elemental shaman which stats should I focus on? I was thinking at this level Int,Naturedamage+,Spirit,Defense(as always). I'm going to go elemental because well... when I get tired... thats what I do... mash the blasty buttons and forget to get into melee range. Not that I won't ever melee again. Far from it. I'm just going to try spending my talents to reinforce my play style. And yeah I know at this level its a little too early to pick something but as you can tell I'm really an overly defensive person who is arguing at people who may or may not even read this post and if they do they probably WANT me to respec. 2) Any particular gear items worth getting at level 20-30? Yeah I know you highbies are all "don't bother even WEARING gear until level 700[not a typo]". But I'm not a troll or a decadent human. Going nakid just isn't my thing. 3) Are there any level 20-30 zones that

Why must we have a title?

Someone tell me what the awesome strategy is that the Horde use to defend our noble lands from the Cruely Imperialistic Alliance. Renoobed mentioned it but he's all secretive and posts screenshots that don' explain nothin! Teej surrendered? I find this unlikely. She's like a bag of popcorn....everytime you think she's down... POP!...and then the next thing you know your micro-fire-mage-box is all filled with smoke and your popcorn is black and grrr. I forget what I was talking about but yeah it was true. There is a priest blog I read that was fun reading today or yesterday?... its got a human or dwarf(they all look the same) female priest sitting in water up to her chin. Anyways I'd link but I'm too lazy to hunt the link down and actually post it. The Ogrimmar Boomers lost saturday to the Camp Taurajo Raiders. This made me sad as I was hoping for a 10-1 boomer team to compete with the Kara Dragonhawks 11-0 team or the Moonglade Tigers 10-1 team(depending on who

Call of water

Today was extremely gratifying. I spent a lot of time out of game playing with PrettyOrc and Orclette. The weather was great and my house got semi clean. Also I didn't spend too much money or eat too much. In game also went well. I'm cooking 115 now and fishing 100something. I'm level 22 and I FINALLY finished the call of water quest. /tiredfromrunning Everyguide tells you how this is a *long* quest. And I still had no clue that it would be that long. Wow. I don't want to run anywhere ever again. I think I shall park my green tired booty and just grind for the next 2 levels. The "crew" and I(Myself(21Shaman, Moonsongdown(17 hunter) and Beowulfa(22hunter) decided we'd do WC with just us. It went really well. We can safely handle 2-3 of the elites at a time even the druids that sleep you. At the same time we were able to practice partying skills. I am designated leader/markerofmobs/healer/totemer etc. Beowulfa is puller. Susan[beowulfa]

Selflink isn't the same thing as selfless

I often read this guy . But he hasn't updated since friday morning which frusterates me. PVP: I like playing on a PVP server most of the time, the extra danger of suddenly dying without knowing why because a level 8000million long-eared freak druid cat thing [insert catdruid attackskill]'s you in Stonetalon right after you kill your last spider for a quest is fun sorta you know? BUT!: Dear Alliance, I know that the only thing you live for is killing babies and murdering old ladies and enslaving people. However, everytime you invade the Barrens en-mass and attack Camp Taurojo and Crossroads and the Gold Road and the Rampart and Ratchet -at- the same time. You lag death me. Lag death means I have to sign off and you don't get to kill me? Does that sound fun? Noooooo. So how bout you only mass attack zones I'm not in. And you send your evil catdruid things to attack me BYTHEMSELVES in the zones I'm in. K? Thanks! Bye! ---------------------------
