This is a Dual Sunday post.

Slig said hi to us! Hi slig! Great name btw. Oh and I'm Alchemy 238 or some such... after 3 transmutes I've finally worked out that I can only do it once every 24 hrs. I thought maybe my iron bars were broken :p.

That was a joke... I'm an Orc not a Troll. It only took me 2 transmutes.

GD pointed me at a WoW insider post on lowbie mage gear and got me thinking about how badly I want a water elemental summoning Forsaken clothie! To go along with my NE or Troll hunter mans that I don't have yet. Why Frost? Well because fire is all burny. And I've always thought Ice was cool(in games...I hate the cold in RL). Also I want to make sheep.

If I was a shaman totem I would be a dustdevil(Earth/wind) totem. Earth because I'm easily entertained by basic things and I don't require much to keep me happy(much like a rock). Wind because I'm flighty and often skipping back and forth(like the wind). Also I don't like being wet(water) and I'm not a firey person I don't think(low on the passion scale).

Herself should be coming in here soon to finish this post. She doesn't know it yet though.

Umm ok. Herself is here. Very excited about being on a normal server. I won't get ganked anymore! I went to all the places I couldn't on Emerald Dream because of nasty alliance peoples. Soooo nice. I can actually track what I'm hunting and not have humanoid tracking on all the time (I hate being hit without at least seeing what's doing the hitting). But back to last evening when the transfer occurred.

First order of business: scan the AH. Did so, prices were similar except where someone jacked the prices for several items .... I expect it'll even out as I get more scans under my belt. It was rather jerking to see my tabard blank. Our guild on the other server had fizzled out. It was a casual thing to begin with ... bunch of dudes from Retromud playing together (Retro doesn't have any pictures and therefore was totally not interesting to me). They all left to join another guild. We were gonna leave them anyway. But it's happened. No guildies. No guild chat. No guild bank. -Sniff.- But I want to be very picky about what guild we join, and I'd kinda like to see what guild GD picks and follow her if possible ...(you have a posse GameDame! or is it entourage ...)

anyway. I likes Drenden. So if you have a toon there stop by and say hi. @ Ratshag: Infidelity is on our friends list so we'll send you a wave when you get on. @ Slig: soooo looking forward to having you help us do instances .... it'll be fun having a highbie help us out.

And Orclette has just escaped her safe playing area. Gotta run!

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

So I won't forget ..

"I'm a little hunter short and cute. Here is my bow, Here is my boot. When I get all worked up then I shoot!" And I can't come up with the last line. Needs to rhyme with the little teacup song.

A tanking guide.

Here is the situation: Your guild has been busy all day long while your at work. You finally get home and log in and are informed that the GM(and main tank) is about to leave and you are now assigned tanking duty. You start to panic. You don't know what to do. And agro is already spiralling out of control. Ever been in that situation? I have. So I decided I would write a guide for this very situation. Step 1) Are the appropraite debuffs up? Step 2) Do you have the tools? Step 3) Are you practicing the fundamentals? Step 4) Are you prepared for the long haul? And Step 5) How to finish with a resounding silence. Are the appropriate debuffs up? You absolutely MUST have these debuffs up to start and you need to keep them up. There are only two of them and here they are in the order of priority: a) Clean Diaper. If Orclette's Diaper isn't clean you won't be able to contain the agro. I don't care how good your other fundamentals are. This is a MUST HAVE and should be chec...

Welcome to Drenden! I noticed a couple of really low items on the AH from Beowulfa and sent you mail in game about it. I have been reading this blog for a little while now, very enjoyable. Good luck with a guild, maybe you can start a horde AC.

sorry dammerung, horde side characters are tazomi and nozomi. They are still low level, but I would be glad to hear from you.
