Hello everyone,

Hope all is well.  Life is busy, not much game time.  At least I have had internet.  Here are some clips from episode 288, hope you enjoy them!

Greetings CAW Crew,

Still slowly working my way through the Broken Isles, working on the Pathfinder achievement for flying.  I am almost done, just need to finish the last two storylines for the Nightfallen to get the Suramar part of the Loremaster.  I am just putting off the mythic dungeons I have to run.  I have all the reputations to revered for the Broken Isles Diplomat, and exalted with the Nightfallen.  I finally finished all of the exploring, treasure hunting and adventuring bits for the achievements.

Currently I am working on the Family Familiar achievement for pet battling.  I have four of the ten down.  Now it is just a matter of waiting for the proper battles to come up when I feel like pet battling.  I took advantage of Squirt yesterday to level up more pets.  I stayed up far too late this morning trying to finish a goal.  I wanted to get all of my unique pets alphabetically from A - M leveled up to 25.  I went from 728 unique pets at 25 to 769 pets at 25.  That leaves only 56 unique pets below level 25.

Some people have cirles of disappointment that they run searching for mounts.  I have a pet battle point of disappointment.  I have done the Crysa's Flyers battle every day since the beginning of November, and the Albino Buzzard still has not dropped.  So far I have gained three levels on the character I have parked there. There is an herbalism node and a mining node right there, so at least I am building up mats that I will be able to sell.

On the transmog front, I have been working on getting one of each armor type to level 110 on Earthen Ring, so I can transfer all of the extra gear out of my bank, and learn it for mogging.  I just finished my paladin this week, and gives me all four types.  I have also been running Northrend raids again for transmog.  It has been giving me a few pieces on each run, and I am also working on assembling the tier sets.

I wanted to pass on something that Tempest from Bind on Equip mentioned.  It is very expensive to level up cooking in Legion, but you can still get cooking points from running the daily cooking quests in the capital cities. You can get one or two points per day for free.  It has been very useful to me, since all of my recipes are currently grey.  As expensive as mats are, I will probably finish up my professions with Darkmoon Faire points.  Don't forget, the Faire starts tomorrow.

For the Horde,

Duvessae

Intro - Play voicemail (5 minutes & 5 seconds)
Friendly wave from Cab driver in traffic, totally change my day :D

Achievements
“Murlocs, Harpies, and Wolvar, Oh My!”,  “Ragnaros, Watch and Learn”, “Master of Magic”, Religiously practice any pet battle to advance the meta achievement…  played everyday pet battles since patch 7.1, missed 4 days, have 3 characters at max to triple down on a trainer for the day.  Chopped is the trickiest because it requires progress with the nightfallen rep, the Varenne NPC will talk to you but will not allow you to pet battle him if you have not completed a certain part of the suramar quest line: Varenne is yellow NPC if you’re not attuned to him, there is also a stealth detector really close to where he is, so you’re in constant combat if you are not currently pet battling or have the disguise to look like a suramar elf. Progress on each achievement for the pet battles stacks across your account on alliance side anyway, a few quests on the DK, a few quests on the rogue, and a few quest on the warlock to cap… 37 odd quest for pet battles, only 15 trainers help the 12 needed per achieve.  If you do this on a single character I would estimate that you have to spend about 200 days to complete this achievement.  Somedays you get 3 trainers, other days you get none or the same trainer you cannot complete because you’ve battled him with all 10 different pet families already.  Tuesday and Wednesday require you to login, because some of those trainers will not spawn on the weekend at all, regardless how often you log in.

AH woes, nothing sell, buy “EVERYTHING!!!”, new raid content is the queue for constantly falling prices of all raw materials, pets and other hard to come by commodities.  Little bit of time to play everyday so definately do Cooldowns on my 4 alchemists on 3 different servers.

I'm a long time WOW player and started listening to Control Alt Wow a long time ago. I can't even remember when I started. The bulk of my listening was during the time period Vrishna was on the show. I took a break from WOW and WOW podcasts during Mists of Pandaria, then off and on after that. I listed to your show while Leeta was a cohost and at that time wondered where Asheo, Jeppy and Vrishna went. When Legion was launched I started playing WOW much more regularly and so resubscribed to all my old podcast, one of which was yours. A few episodes ago you mentioned Vrishna had passed away. I was very sad to hear this news. This past weeks episodes brought tears to my eyes when you guy spoke of an event you had in game to honor Vrishna. Somehow I missed what happened. Was Vrishna's death sudden or was it after a long illness. I think sometime we forget the people on the other end of the characters on the screen are actual human beings. Hearing of Vrishna's death really brought this home for me.


Very sorry for your loss but admire your strength to continue on.

You are loved

Hello Control Alt WoW!

Sorry for not having an email last week.  This past week and a half can only be described using adult language and multiple words of profanity - one of the many things gone wrong is that we have had no internet at home from last week Thursday until this week Thursday.  Our internet service company is <profanity word> and unfortunately we have no other choice for DSL service, and we all know how satellite or cell phone internet with their data caps just doesn't work for us WoW gamers.

This week I have clips from episode 287.  I hope you enjoy them :)

Hope everyone has had good times in and out of game!  

--Kyle


Have a great day!  ðŸ˜„

Guild Updates: Friday, 1/13 - Saturday 1/21


Hi everyone - Here are this week's guild updates! The "Frozen" frenzy has concluded (I managed to have one make it onto the final qualifying board!), and Lunar Festival has arrived! I'm shuttling each of my challenge toons (except the bloodthirsties, of course) around to any elder they can safely reach and grabbing that XP! Perhaps someday I'll roll back around to playing current content. Maybe. We'll see... Enjoy!
