Show Notes for Episode 003

I WHAT’S GOING ON
 A. What I’ve been doing
i. Redoing Podcast, didn’t like the shortness, I felt rushed, going to try to make it less “ummish”.
ii. 2.0 features I’ve been trying
1. Quick Loot – you can choose to just right click to loot instead of shift right clicking. Shift right clicking has the opposite effect and opens the loot box so you can pick and choose
2. Re-doing Talent trees – this is a lot of work when you have 18 alts. I am the epitome of casual player. I know there are certain preconceived notions of which trees to pick, but I just do the kid in the candy shop method, i.e. ooh this looks neat, I’ll click on that. I know on WoW website there’s a tree tester https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/hunter/talents.html It lets you experiment with different trees and you can even print them out.
iii. Holiday Quests - I don’t want to give out too much, they are fun little quests that go along with the season
1. The Alterac Mountains – Stolen Winterveil Treats
2. Rescue Metzen

iv. Tried PvP in Altrac Valley
v. Podcasts I’ve been listening to
1. World of Podcast
2. 1-70
 B. Dual Boxing
i. Why
ii. Equipment
iii. Challenges
iv. Is it for everyone?

I am going to try to stay to a format even though this is a short Holiday podcast.
I WHAT’S GOING ON
 A.Winter Veil - Orgrimmar & Ironforge
 B. Get all your alts to the appropriate city - neat bonus presents - Festive Gift, Ticking Present, Gaily Wrapped Present, which has the Mechanical Greench, which will fight for you but only has 3 charges and I believe expires at the end of the festivities. Then there are the Red and Green Helpers and Miniature Reindeers that are semi-rare pets. They are very cute but require a snowball to activate, so if you get one, you better stock up on snowballs. Come summer, the snowballs will go up in price.
 C. Fun Quests - Two (maybe 3, I noticed on my lower level alts, I just saw 1 and then on the 40+ I saw a second one) from the Smokeywood Pasture vendor, find Treats lost in Alterac Mountain. - In Orgrimmar and Ironforge. Some are easy, like the one that gets the book from the Shaman trainer in Thrall's chamber and takes it to Thunder Bluff. Good Exp
II WOW NEWS
 A. Winter Veil and Skits on the main page
 B. Internet Disruption in Asia due to major Quake. What does this have to do with WoW? I'm curious to see if this affects the number of people playing and also farming.

III SERVER SHOUT OUT
 = New Guild on Beta Server PVE - Hellfire

IV IN THE HOUSE
 = Husband worked late on Monday, enabled me to do podcast

V BURNING CRUSADE
 A. Translocator in Sunfury Spire behind the big Boss
 B. Made it to Orgrimmar and then went on to the Barrens - no one around

VI SERVER COMPARISONS
 = Request for info on similar topics across different servers

VII EMAIL
 = Asking for emails
VIII TIPS AND HINTS
 =Translocator in Undercity works both ways, so if you're in Beta and want to get to Silvermoon city, this would be a quick way. After you enter the Lordaeron ruins make a right a the big fountain and go up the stairs into the room there. It's a red orb, right click and bam you're in Silvermoon City.
