Bad Apple

Anybody else got turned off by Job’s explanation today?

I did.

After what they said today, I will not buy any Apple product. What an arrogant piece of shit of a company.

You make mistakes, you owned up to it.

It’s a phone FFS. Is it too much to ask for it to work like one?

DK For Dummies

I’ll be posting up a DK for dummies series in the next couple of weeks. The purpose of this guide, rather than create a how to guide, is to explain the class mechanic.

This series is not for the expert raiders but geared more towards those who might be curious and want to try the DK class or those who might have abandoned that level 58 DK in Hellfire Peninsula.

I also hope it can educate those who insist that DK can tank in blood presence and insist that to use the talent tree you need to be in their respective presence.

I’ll be covering up some basic stuff about the class and some basic abilities for all 3 talent trees.

Hopefully after we finish the series we’ll know:

-What a DK can do.
-What a DK can’t do.

Last Week's Winners and Losers

Winners

1. Blizzard, for ‘listening’ to the community and retracting what could be the slayer of the dragon slayer himself. They’ve managed to pissed, pleased, and ‘solved’ what could be a cataclysmic event. No pun intended there…

2. Miami, for having the KING to tank all of their heroic raids.
3. Espagna. OLE!!!
4. Me, for making a mean peach upside down cake. YUMM!!!!

Losers

1. GM Bashiok, poor guy who’s rumoured to have supported the his company’s policy and got footed with a big pile of pizza bills.

2. Cleveland, for being tank-less.
3. Holland, for choking on the biggest game of their life.
4. Level 1 forum troll alt, for being a winner but since this is my blog, you get to be a loser.

Not So Secret Trade Secret

This is how I make my gold.

The method has been very good to me. It has not make me a gold millionaire, but it has allow me to not worry about the best enchants and gems.

I don’t think it’s an original one. If I can think it somebody else might have done it already.

Here we go…..

TOOLS:
Use some sort of an auction mod. Scan diligently.
Use lil sparky crafting mod. It will link your auction mod and put a scanned price to each of the glyph you can make.

MATS:
Scan for herbs.
Since I’m lazy, I typically just search for the Northrend ones. Look for the cheapest one.
They sell for about 80 silver each on my server. This might be different on yours.
Before you buy them, read below on setting your price.
Buy them.
Make a macro /mill
Hot key it and press it repeatedly.

SET YOUR PRICE:
Since milling will need a pack of 5, here’s a simple math to set your glyph price.
A pack of 20 herb with 80 silver each will cost you 16 gold.
A pack of 20 herb will get you about 10 pigment after 4 millings.
10 pigments makes 5 ink
5 parchment will cost you 2 gold 25 silver (basing the price on resilient parchment –the most expensive one)
5 inks + 5 parchments makes 5 glyph
Total cost is 16 gold + 2 gold 25 silver = 18 gold 25 silver
Each glyph will cost you 3 gold and 65 silver. (18.25 / 5)


MAKE THEM:
Scan the AH.
Go to Dalaran and stand in between the ink trader and the inscription supplier.
Open up your inscription window and find glyph that are priced above your cost.
Start making them.


SELL THEM:
Send them to your bank alt.
Pay attention as you post them, sometimes the price have change or dropped.
No worries. Just keep the glyph and wait a couple of days until they go back up to profit sales.


I typically try to have about 300-350 glyphs posted and about 100 or so sitting in my bag waiting for the price to go back up again. I only do this about once or twice a week. Not a very exciting thing to do. But it pays the bill.

Something Always Brings Me Back to You

From somebody that has let ‘Killing Dragons’ on the back seat for a while, I’d have to say let the people kill them internet dragons in peace.

The community blew up over this and it got a little too far than I think it should be. I have never seen the word raped, murdered, shot or stalked so many times on my RSS feed.

So many offered up their justification why they should or should not. Some offered examples of ‘what ifs’. I also did.

Maybe I shouldn’t. I’m not playing anymore, why should I care?

I’ll go with Typhoon Andrew’s conspiracy theory on this one, it’s all a publicity stunt.

Think about it. It brought me back to write about the game I left and might even re-subscribe.

I do miss them pixels…

real ID ???...lol

I’m not sure if this will make it further in the game but the prospect of being accountable for your online actions is an awesome concept.

I like it.

I like it a lot.

It still won’t let me reach across the internet and smack that stupid head of yours for being rude and stupid. But now you can put a real name to a stupid post.

Now if they’d only ban the word ‘lol’ in chat.

I had enough looking at “???lol”

Or “more heal!!! Lol”

Or “5.5kgs lol”

Please Blizzard, I am begging you. If you want my $15 a month back again, no more “lol”

Can't Get Over You

I guess I can’t quit yet…. Blogging is my version of nerdraging on raid chat/vent…
