Jewelcrafting is INSANE. Unless you have the patience of a saint, or a mad army trying to powerlevel your skill, it will take a lot of time to level.
I’m at 190 now, and I swear everything needs copper or bronze. I think I will just go mine a bajillion of each. On the bright side, I got away with 100 mithril. But I’ll probably need more of that too. Man, they made it tough to level. Out for now.
Well, I finally got to playing. Here are the items that I saw last night:
That was in Ramparts and Blood Furnace off of various bosses. I also got a nice neck. The interesting thing about the neck is that its exactly on par with a certain healer neck everyone I know is after. Check this out:
Finally, I got that robe. Let me show you what I did with it:
Really sorry about the late posts here. Life kind of grabbed me by the nut sack.
I got the WoW Trading Card Game. Its really good if you like that kind of thing. In the $45 I spent, I ended up getting the scratch card with the tabard. I wanted to recopy my character to have the tabard, but the new patch kind of axed that idea.
The new patch DOUBLES the amount of XP required to level. While I was 61.5 before, I became 61.25. Which really sucks. At least I have 1.5 levels of rested state. They fixed a number of character bugs, and changed the Rogue trees. I’m sure either WoW.com or World of Raids has those up.
Sorry I haven’t updated the site in the last week. I had to go to Canada for a family emergency. As such, I only played once all of last week.
I will be playing more this week and will have more updates for you.
Just so you guys see what I’m talking about. Basically any loot before AQ40 is meaningless. There are so many good greens that are way better than anything you can get before AQ/Naxx. Here is the mace I was talking about earlier… Take a look.
Went to the Blood Furnace today. I got my vid card issue fixed. Here is what dropped. We couldn’t down the final guy, because he’s retarded. I think he bugs out when you reset him, so any more than one attempt will take you out. Its a complex fight. Basically he has 5 adds, they debuff and shadowbolt you. You need to AoE them down. Then he comes out with a 2-3k Blast wave that goes at LEAST 25yards. You can tell he’s casting it because he kneels. All the time he’s taunting you. Its kind of intense for a PUG group. Blizzard added a lot of voice overs, which is really cool. Here’s the Drops:
I’ve seen some reports of crashes and poor performance from some ATI cards [x800, 9800, x1300]. Basically the 6.9 drivers are too new. If you have problems with an ATI card with Beta, install the 6.8 drivers. It might not work as well overall, but it won’t crash as much.
These are all from an instance called The Hellfire Ramparts. There are 3 bosses and its pretty easy. The other instance causes constant crashes for me. Its called The Blood Furnace. It has some good loot too, but I was too busy restarting the game to get any screens.
I also got my first piece of instance loot today. It was also socketed. I made it way better than my Salamander Scale Pants, so I am anxiously awaiting lvl 61. You get about 1/4 of a level per instance, so running them is sure the way to go. I’m about halfway through, and will easily hit 61 tomorrow. Hopefully I can hit 62. A friend got me a really nice mace (green) that I will share with you later.
