During the show last week, I got all the pamphlets from the Harbingers and got the
achievement!
So, I took my goblins into the mine and noticed something odd...did Blizz or the female goblins figure something out that we don’t know about mining picks?
Went into Karazhan and they have finally changed the friendly NPCs into ghosts!
Leeta!  Thank you SOOO much! <3 She gave me 13 new pets!

I did Tempest Keep and got two pet drops, the Pocket Reaver and the Lesser Voidcaller!

Last night I snuck into the new Karazhan Catacombs and it’s pretty!  Just tried to get back in to take screenshots but they made it so that you can’t ghostwalk in!  :(

I did Serpentshrine before the show and didn’t get a single good drop.  :(

I’m finding double tap to be a bit annoying...especially in the mines.  It doesn’t go away after it’s been tapped which gets frustrating since I go looking for the node that I think is there when it’s only there for someone else.

But to end on a good note, I finally got which is 20 followers to 650!

Hi guys just thought i would pop a message in, i have been playing wow for many years, actually since beginning. i have all 50 of my chars and 31 are at 100. so can you imagine the amount of bags i had to check for my transmog gear updates. OMG.... its been 1 week and i'm just finishing now. i opened over 4 thousand salvage boxes. i have made a lot of raw gold from all my sales but now i have a empty void on every char, with just empty bags slot after empty bag slot, every max character had about 300 slots now empty, times my 31 max level chars is a big hole to fill...... with what!!!!!!..... what do i fill my spaces with.... And now i don't spend 4 hours a night doing all my garrisons what am i to do now.... go out into open world....... no no you cant make me...... plz no............. ah wait....... artifact power.... times 31 max level characters.... yeah i'm saved.......

Hello all,

Sorry no audio from me, been one heck of a week and just haven't had time to play.  On the bright side this is the last week of summer classes so as soon as I get everything done that I need to get done I should have some free time to play again.  I'm afraid though, because when I do find time to play I'm going to be so incredibly overwhelmed trying to relearn how to play my characters and refigure my action bars and sort out my banks and open savage crates and move gear to characters that can equip it to update wardrobe and ... ...  I'm almost exhausted just thinking about it!

Hope you enjoy this clip from episode 271.  Aprillian, Jeppy, Ren, and Teedra were hosting, and the clip is pieces of Juuno and Pixie Girl's email.

Good day Ctrl Alt WoW crew, hope you are all well? Kep here!
Well not too much to report this week! Been busy with a drug calculation exam and writing a 4000/6000-word assignment on Public Health!! /horrible
Only a few things week. Been collecting transmog for Kep and Kuhok [screen shots attached – you can find them at ctrlaltwow.blogspot.com :D ].  
I’m not sure how much people are aware of this, but people are setting up big garrison fishing raids in an attempt to catch the turtles. I joined one the other day and its pretty crazy! Loot everywhere, including the Epic Riding Turtle which dropped for me after about an hour!! VERY happy with that!
You can also fish up coins for Nat Pagel, I got about 40/50 (an hour). But sadly no lunkers.
Anyway, tips if you’re going to try this:
1.       Create as much bag space as possible – you’ll need it!
2.       Buy the ‘Findle’s loot-a-rang’ [toy], this just makes it a lot quicker and you don’t have to move!
Take care all
I’ll miss you!

Sorry for the lack of audio this week but it's been another 6 day work week with junk mail and the like so my game time has been limited to say the least 5 day week coming up so hopefully get some WoW time this week. On the plus side I got my virtual ticket and goodie bag in a box as well now hers hoping a legion murloc this year.

Hello my dear CAW crew!

Sae here with a loooooong overdue submission for you!

I've had quite the busy time since I last sent in anything, both in game and out. But in game is clearly the most important  here. :) So for my Clan of Darkness toons, I managed to hit 100 on my blood elf paladin! Very excited about that, and now he's looking very fine in his new transmog I stole from my human pally lol.

I also started a new challenge toon, named Punchy Mcface, and he's a Bloodthirsty who is going to literally punch his way to level cap. I decided Punchy is never going to leave the starting gear he's been given, and is going to simply punch mobs until he hits the top! But since I did almost for at level 5 already, I dont see that happening. :P

In other news, I've spent most of my time trying to get one room of every class to 100 before Legion drops. The only class I have left is warrior, with my little gnome sitting at 66 right now. So much work to do before the expansion! I'm very excited for all the prepatch craziness to begin, especially as I'm predominantly a roleplayer and the demon invasions are going to be wild for my characters to deal with from that standpoint.

I should be off now, but I just want to shoot a quick thank you to Grand Nagus because all his add-on suggestions and the like lately have been a huge boon for me in game! You're awesome, GN!

Catch you all in game when I begin my punching festivities on my bloodthirsty  later!

Your friendly neighborhood druid,
Saeureon







Addon.png
Each week GrandNagus takes a closer look at some of the most useful World of Warcraft addons out there.

Here is how you unlock the controls for the addon ArkInventory, you can download it here:
Now as for the unlock, this is how you do it:
Go to Config / Controls
Under Blueprint for Bags if it says [9999] * Default for Style, Layout and Category, change them to <[4 Numbers]><Character Name><Server>-Bag.

Reload UI if your bags have not changed.

Repeat steps for Bank, Guild Bank and so on. ex: <[4 Numbers]><Character Name><Server>-Bank, <[4 Numbers]>*<Character Name><Server>-Guild Bank.

They really changed the addon’s config, not sure why they did it, but they must have had a reason, but with this you should be able to get the old functionality back, there might be some resets with regard to items assigned to categories, but that shouldn’t be to hard to fix, just re-assign the items the categories are not gone, you just might have to re-assign them, but to do that, you need to go thru the steps i put in red.
Hope this works for everyone.

Guild Updates: Saturday, 7/23 - Friday, 7/29

Hey everybody - Here are this week's guild updates. There's a new level 10 with a name you may have heard before - Ironsillines. Yes, my level 43 undead warlock iron didn't have an easy go of it transitioning to the new spells, and about ten minutes in she lost the battle. But she's handed her moniker off to a new undead warlock iron, who can learn the modified ropes from the ground up. I hope everyone else is having a smoother sail, and a great week!

Arcane mages can have a familiar now!  It’s a little amorphous globe of arcane energy, sorta bluish purple, and it sticks around for an hour assisting you!


I thought I had found a bug, the nodes in my mine weren’t disappearing from my map after I mined them.  Instead they were getting an overblown node dot on my map.  Figured out that was for doubletapping of nodes!    However, I wonder if the female gobbos know something we don’t in regard to a mining pick?


I miss my glyphs - getting that speed boost after portaling on my mage or the speed boost on shield on the priest….mostly just the speed boosts.  


Trying to quest in Disc needs some serious re-learning!  Half my offensive spells are gone!


As for my week, I did my usual old world raid pet farming on Sunday, Shinn and Grand Nagus were there for some of it for an impromptu Noobs session.  One of the only things of note for me was in Karazhan - got Exalted with the Violet Eye, which triggered 10 exalted reps.
Thanks to Grand Nagus (who needs an Enabler title) and a few pets in the guild bank, I was able to get Raiding with Leashes III.  Learned the pets, re-caged tem, and put them back where they belong.  I feel so unclean…
I also took my warrior Applestroph out and managed to get her level 71, and Northern Exposure in the process.
On Monday, I figured I should upgrade that second account to Legion, which of course gave me a level 100 boost.  Meet my new Panda Mage, Xita.  
I tried to multibox with her carrying Applestroph, but guess what?  You can’t take a boosted toon into old world instances for the first 24 hours after the first time the toon is logged in to after the boost.  So, just ran her around doing a few quests and left it.
Tuesday came and went.  Work took up too much of my time.  Wednesday I logged in and was able to clear out SO.  MUCH.  BAG SPACE!
Then I did some more old raid farming with no real results. Not much else to report WoW-wise for me, but I did hatch a Magmar!  ;)



Constraxx

Hi there :D
Heroics for Valor.  Mine for Ore.  Killing Spider for the toy.

Guild Application
Hi, my name is Nate aka Lycan of PWNCast.  I was wondering if I can get an invite to the guild.  I wanted to help Grand Nagus with a few quests for the legendary and told him I can set up an Undead Hunter.  Let me know if this is possible.  The toon name is Heiswithme.  Thank you.


Hello everyone,


Here's another audio segment depicting me not having done anything, and another blast from the past.  This blast is also from episode 270, and is an email from reefberry.  Enjoy!

Good day Ctrl Alt WoW crew, hope you are all well? Kep here!
Wow ...what a WEEK! It’s been crazy! It all started when I was running around logging on and off characters who all had honour points to spend and the PVP gear to buy. Literally about 40+ of my characters had honour to spend! I was buying weapons, armour, heirlooms, tabards and all sorts of nonsense! It took me 2 days to sort out! Then came the opening of the crates. I decided to open them before the patch as the follower upgrades were selling for a decent amount, however I did not anticipate the amount of items I would end up with! After finally working through hundreds and hundreds of crates, my bags, banks, storage and slots were jam packed with items!! I did unfortunately make a big mistake and forgot to sell my resources in the trading post. Now the items are 10 times the price! : (


So then the patch hit and everything broke! I found myself logging on and just being overwhelmed with everything I had to do. So I’ve mostly stuck to collecting shirts, tabards, gear, playing the auction house and other random things.  


Anyway, earlier in the week (before all of the madness) I decided to take a chance and paid for a random Archimonde run, from a random guy advertising in chat. I paid the guy 25k - and he logged off, leaving me just stood there in Tannan not knowing what to do?! I started to get worried and thought I had been scammed. Then all over a sudden a summon appeared and I was teleported face-to-face with Archimonde!! I did not know what to do, so I just stood there and didn’t dare to move just in case I pulled something! The run was smooth, the guy was nice and patient (answering all my questions). And then BOOM! - Archimonde was DEAD! (and so was I). They ressed me and I collected the quest item, flew to Moonglade and completed the quest! I am now the owner of the MOOSE mount! [screen shot attatched]. : )
A couple of tips this week.
1.       Log on and check all characters on all accounts, including unsubbed ones. If you are anything like me (been playing since vanilla) you will find LOTS of old gear! Especially look for old vanilla shirts like the Thugs shirt, Trapper’s shirt etc. I have found a few of these and they are either soulbound (adding them to your appearances) or you can sell them …and some can sell for A LOT!! The prices I’ve seen so far range from 100,000 gold to 250,000 gold!!! You -could- be sitting on a small fortune?!!
2.       Sell primal spirits to the primal spirit vendor in your garrison for Savage Blood (25 spirits each). Then with the Bloods buy the ‘Bloody Gold Purse’ at the trading post. I get anywhere between 48 to 101 gold each purse! So you can make a fair chunk of gold by doing this.
Take care all – ‘I’ll miss you!’


Kep
P.S. I am still a little scared about selling old gear! The whole concept is just still so foreign and feels like I am going to lose the item?! I still have to double check if I have the appearance every time I sell something rare!


P.P.S. Great to hear Jeppy and Ashayo back on Wow Geekly!


P.P.P.S. Apologies for the long email.  
Bye!
