What We've Been Doing:


Constraxx

  Sold 4 or 5 Vials of the Sands this week, a medallion of the Legion, Battie for 14k, and Bone Wasp for 8K.

  Did Ashley pet battle in Shadowmoon valley a couple of times this week to level pets.  I also did the pet in Frostfire Ridge to earn a few more treats and sold a few pets on the AH which were of common quality, I didn’t bother making them rare since they were the only pets on the AH.

  Playing a lot of Mechwarrior 5 : Mercenaries, trying to get to 40,000,000 C-bills to afford a heavy or assault  mech.  Got Double bonus on Salvage loot for doing a hard mission so I can now loot more medium mechs, I got 2 bushwackers, and 1 Hunchback, and a Firstarter.  Learned a little better how to do cold storage with my mechs.  See that there is a cost calculated for going to industrial zone to repair and flight back (time sensitive) for missions.  Started doing 2 mission runs, sometimes have to restart the mission to avoid pilot injury or death.  Repeated a mission over and over to do like dailies to crank revenue to 30 million C-bills.

  Pretty much done with LFR, just looking forward to new dungeons, I may level the Tauren druid first and just do professions with the rogue to start.  Really looking forward to the new stuff for professions.

  Ah not going very well, just 200k earned this week.  No tokens purchased or sold.  Bought Heroic Dragonflight for my second Account and paid for 3 months on it, I wanted to have a boost handy.

Got my behind handed to me in PVP.

You can then choose between two classes: blade master or mage. Essentially, you’re deciding if you want an up-close melee combat style with dual blades, or if you’d prefer a ranged style using magic. Within those two classes there are three roles to choose from: tank, DPS or Support.

  • Tank is used to take the heat for the party

  • DPS is made to dish out the most damage per second

  • Support is there to keep everyone healthy when times get tough

Hello Caw Crew, 

 

  It has been a long time since I last wrote to you. I have been playing on Retail and I enjoyed the start of Wotlk classic also. I have been going between both and now I think I will be back in retail for the  next few months. I love the new professions and the Idea that the more you make something the better that item may turn out. I levelled a whole bunch of toons to level 50 and now that shadowlands is now in Chromie time I can get those level 50’s up to 60. My 2  favourite zones to go from 50 to 60 right now is Felwood and Winterspring. Levelling is so fast with those last 10 levels now that I am 60 just as I start Winterspring. I also made My Evoker and she is Matavoka. I just wish I got to level from 1 instead of 58. I am sitting in front of my computer after getting home from work. I have on my Crtl alt Wow 400 episode Hoodie and my Ctrl Alt wow Black tshirt. It is Saturday morning and I am here to level. Love the show.

Love Matahorn

 

Ps it has been 17 years for me and I still love levelling characters. I think I will finally love professions again too.

Hello everyone!


My week of gaming was a mix of a few things.  I've been playing a bunch of Bloodstained Citadel of the Night, which is like a castlevania mixed with metroid.  Saw a favorite streamer of mine play a bunch of it, saw it in sale, and decided to try it.  Really enjoying it, especially the randomizer settings.  I have also started Hollow Knight, a fan favorite that I just never got around to trying.  Really loving that experience!  Finally my FFXIV has been a bunch of putzing around trying to level my Dark Knight to 70.  He's currently at a "nice" level.


Anyway, here's part 2 from last week's Blast from the Past.  It is the second half of clips from episode 453, the 9th anniversary episode.  I hope you enjoy it!


--Kyle
