More Instance Loot.

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.

First Piece of Instance Loot.

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.

I got my first piece of uber quest loot this afternoon. Take a look. Not too shabby if you’re a Moonkin. I’m going to keep it for a spell dmg set.

Tips on Jewelcrafting.

Here are some tips for those of you planning on taking Jewelcrafting:
Stockpile about 150 Copper and 150 Bronze (225 Copper and 75 Tin) in bars. You can prospect, but its really not worth the mats. It costs 5 ore to prospect for 1 gem, and often you need the metal and the gem. If you can get about 10 of each gem, you should be good to go. Silver is an absolute must. It makes things so much easier. Expect to use about 40 Silver Bars.

Last tip: If you have one character a miner, and your jewelcrafting character already has enchanting, keep enchanting. You can get a lot of low level enchanting mats to sell on the AH from Jewelcrafting.

I will publish more tips as I level my jewelcrafting (I’m at about 110 now).



New Build.

Latest build of Beta came out yesterday morning. No patch notes are listed. Most of it that I have seen are just bug fixes. They implemented the new talent changes also, so thats nice.

I got to play a bit, and my character’s inventory got messed up pretty bad. I kept getting reset every time I logged in. I think the problems are over though. Crazy things that happen in Beta, eh? Heh.

A few of my friends got random beta invites. Hopefully I can hook up with some of them for some instance runs this weekend.

They have a nice comic over at Penny Arcade today, dealing with the Blood Elves. I got a chuckle out of it.
