What We've Been Doing:

Aprillian

Constraxx

Problems with Appliances led to long hours of play Thursday and Saturday, trying to figure out how to squeeze the items for Heart of Azeroth out of the LFR raid, no luck on running Mechagon dungeon, quest log a little bit alleviated.  Too many hours on rep grind, little time played on Alts.

Fun with Kyle on Friday night, monk, priest, etc shananigans...

Started on the Bee mount grind, oh my, you need stamina for that chore and patience for the weeks to spend on it, or you can go the Auction house to buy Jelly in bulk. Bad moves in low gold market, high deposit on albino cavefish = 191 gold each because deposit scales up with the price, oops!!!

A few days doing one or two games in Overwatch to try and get 3 wins for the Junkrat skin.  Several halloween loot boxes, you get sprays, voice lines etc.

Rep Grind, Rustbolt, Queen back beehive, paragon Ankoan (Nazjatar), 6 transmutes per day, Leveling Zandalari Priest & Gnome Warlock closer to 42.

Terrible losses in Hearthstone, people really are having amazing decks with runs that make it impossible to make a comeback if you make a single mistake during your opening.

Many many pets leveled up to 23-24-25 via the Ashley Gargra trainers in Shadowmoon Valley and Frostfire Ridge.  1 more pet looted in LFR, 2 gotten from AH, they look so cute with their huge eyes, adorably cute, more pets coming in 8.3 with whispers of N’zoth, a 5th pet battle dungeon installment will see a void lord pet make an appearance according to Cymree on Youtube

Little time to farm mats, a lot of ore aquired in mechagon island, not too many people picking up the monelite ore there, so If you navigate in slow circles you can loot a lot of it.

Too tired to do most incursions this week, unfortunate with limited time not able to run Warfront for most of the week.

On the plus side I picked up and Ipad Pro 1 terabyte for my spouse on Saturday, many hours were spent updating and fine tuning it to her liking, she’s very happy with the Apple product.

Grand Nagus

Preparing for BlizzCon! Leaving on saturday and flying over the pond on sunday morning.  I finally start to feel that BlizzCon feeling, can’t wait to get over there - feeling.

All i did, in game, was make a new Forsaken Mage and take him to level 15 as of this recording, he is a enchanter on my second account so i can enchant my other toons gear.

He’s likely going be the last toon on Horde side i create, since i have all the slots filled on the first account, Horde side, + i have to use the last slot for the alliance enchanter on the other account, so it works out perfectly.

What We've Been Doing:

Constraxx

Long long days scheming before the Auction house, regularly having 3 clients up at a time to check Trade Skill Master Auction house AddOn.  Patiently gathering herbs, running the stone core for mount.

Core professions at 165 on multiple professions, some go as high as 185 (jewelcrafting).  Half hill is a daily stop on 2 or 3 characters now. 2 Garrisons are well garnished with followers.

Mount runs Occasionally in Pandaria for the 1/2000 chance at a drop.

LFR Queue is regularly over an hour on my rogue.

Exalted with Ankoan Blade, so bought both mount and pet, listed pet on Auction House.

Leveled Paladin, Rogue, Warlock with great care not to die to preserve wheeeee! Buff.  I just can’t see myself paying 10 tickets for the Darkmoon Hat, whoooot.

Couldn’t help myself when i looked at Call of Duty : Modern Warfare and saw Captain Price, that was a quick 129.99$.  Modern Warfare will have it’s own league in 2020.

Counting down the days to November and December for Launch Day.

Grand Nagus

Classic:

Priest level 28 -> 30

Alchemy leveling to 154 → 162, she has to get Liferoot and Kingsblood for Greater Healing Potion now.

Fishing 186 → 201 

One or two more levels in Hillsbrad / Arathi before i go down into STV for good, been there before to check out how well i’d survive and did the first couple of quests for the big hunt. It went well, but i wasn’t all that happy over all, so i came back to Hillsbrad.

Warrior level 13 → 16

Blacksmithing 66 → 75.

Mage level 11

Enchanting at 50, so i can now start to enchant stuff after i finished getting as many skill points out of purely disenchanting items.

Good evening folks,

Unfortunately I cannot join the Chatroom for tonight’s Episode, so I will just send in my question like any other self-respecting Gamer.

Question for Grand Nagus, Exalted Imperial Ambassador for Add-Ons:

I am getting annoyed by the Tooltip always showing that I have talents to assign on my Ironman toons. Is there an Add-On or even a selection available in interface options that will suppress this?

I am worried that I may logon after a healthy shot of bourbon and loose myself.  

Help me Grand Nagus, your my only hope! (Not really but it sounds good)

Thanks again for hours of listening PLEASURE?!

What We've Been Doing:

Aprillian

Constraxx

Leveling Killer Instinct style.  Party sync. 20 times less exp with max level vs level 52 while grouped up with no party sync.  Quest reward buffed as you level over 20k exp for very easy turn in, smallest exp reward at level 59 is 8k exp. Gear scales for quest reward, very handy.

Party sync turned on spurts you on same quest chain, but not exactly on same quest if you are about to turn in, better to turn on party sync at the beginning of a questing area or at the beginning of a new chapter in quests, or be prepared to repeat quests.

Flying unlocked at 60, as soon as you hit that milestone you get two prompts, what zone to pursue (Outland vs. Northrend) and learn flying for 60 gold minus reputation discount 5% per level (Stormwind / Orgrimmar)

My first time ever doing anything for Loremaster in the old zones, my Gnome Rogue is responsible for 3 zones, the quest turn in are super fast when using enchants on heirlooms + sharpening stones on weapons, regardless of specialization.  This week I have achieve level 61, 9 levels just in Hinterlands, exp dropped by 25% when i went past level 60. I was getting really good exp for herbing and mining all the way through the leveling process, archeology hit over 136 in not too hard of questing zones, i Did have to go to Stranglethorn Vale and Booty bay to clear some of the dig sites, not all the Flightpaths are available on the toy so I also got discovery exp.

PvP Galore, 2 quests resolved, killing Horde in Nazmir for 25 players down, enough Marks of honor for 4 of the Notorious Recipes, Shield, Boots, Belt, and Spellblade plush Shanker.

Farming Cataclysm mats on 7 characters, Fishing, Mining, Herbing, Archeology, debating a boost or not on a Gnome on a low pop server, needed volatile earth for transmute pyrium, went to deepholm and boom, 16 volatile earth from transmute living elements.  Running Vortex Pinnacle before first boss, jump off the edge, spawn near start exit and reset all instances.

Travel to archeological digs while watching about 20 movies, and 15 fight scenes in Deadpool 2, a little rough but so worth it, violence is very soothing when you’re half asleep fishing while a character is on a flightpath on the other screen.

Cooking impossible while on my elegon mount.  Chat was much better when i unlocked the 3rd item on my heart of azeroth, not too many kills, but i’m a whole lot harder to die.  I keep them entertained while the bulk of the troops rally to my fighting location.

I went to turn in conquest reward and there was a chest in the PvP table area of boralus harbour, I looted for a 420 pvp ring with good stats for my class, my iLvl is now 421.

I played a Heroic Warfront, i looked in premade groups for a custom group and 30 of us went in for some 430 loot, with a socket no less.  

Considering my options for garrison, halfhill and north rend.  Cataclysm can be hit and miss, 7 days of hard digging in Kalimdor and no canoptic jar for 4 days, 2 jars next day with no luck on Recipe for vial of the sands on another server.

Grand Nagus

Hi Aprillian, Constraxx & Grand Nagus !

Hope you've all had a great week in and out of Wow.  I've been playing mostly wow classic. My priest Rarebitt in the Clan of Darkness Guild on Pagle is now level 25.  Shes going very slowly, but I'm enjoying the long and sometimes relaxing grind. And a huge thankyou to Grand Nagus for making Rarebitt her very first classic pet, a cute little mechanical squirrel !!!!!.  Havent played much on retail Wow, although I did start the questline for the bee.

Outside of Wow, things have been a bit busy IRL, I've been training for a 10km race coming up in 2 weeks time.  I certainly dont expect to win it, but just to finish in under an hour would be nice ! Its also been very hot here, although it is nearly Summer again, and I've been enjoying listening to Ctrl Alt wow and Corpse Run Radio podcasts on my long, hot training runs.  Keep up the great work !!!!

Looking forward to Blizzcon too, although I wont be able to go there in person, will get the virtual ticket and be awake at about 4 am Australian time to watch it :)

Anyway thats all from me for now.  Have a wonderful week everyone.

Rarebitt
