This week in WoW:

ONGOING :  Midsummer Fire Festival ( in both Retail and Classic)  June 21st - July 5th.         

ENDING Tuesday (reset) : 

BEGINS Tuesday (reset): 

What We've Been Doing:

Most of us know about all the things going on in Retail MFF, so i’m gonna go over some of the things going on in Classic, for the players listening that play Classic WoW atm and would like to get into MFF there.
The Midsummer Fire Festival celebrates the summer solstice with bonfires, Midsummer Celebrants, and quests spanning Azeroth to honor their own faction's flames and steal those of rival cities. There is a festival area located in each major city, with quests, a Ribbon Pole for dancing. There are also opportunities to gain hour-long buffs ( Fire Festival Fury and Ribbon Dance) and get valuable stat food like Fire-toasted Bun. You can also earn the items Cinder Bracers, Mantle of the Fire Festival and Crown of the Fire Festival, as well as the companion pet Captured Flame!

Hello everyone!

Happy father's day to all the father figures out there who make positive impacts on people's lives!

I've been doing a lot of putzing in game.  Hanging out at the garrison making hexweave cloth and raking in those garrison resources from missions, doing some world quests for gear and stuff, and other odds and ends.

Today's Blast from the Past is brought to you by episode 414.  Enjoy!

Cruising through darkmoon faire without too much PvP…
Acquire 2 mounts, the Bee and the 70k Alliance bird from Proudmoore Admiralty.  85K spent on Jelly, 15K gotten back so far.

900 quests from the 10k world Quest Achievement, still doing emissaries on my main.

Restarted Jewelcrafter Draeni Monk questing in Legion, can’t help it.

Grand Nagus

BlizzardCS helped me with my Warlock’s (bug) issue. (thanks Duvessae for the suggestion) 
It was a bug, i shouldn’t have gotten the quest in the first place.
Playing on the EU side atm, WoW Classic with my long time friend.
She needs some attention atm, so we thought we might play together again some.
Since she started playing Classic shortly after it launched, and with the pre-Shadowlands low, i’ve got the time, since i don’t have any real goals in Retail that can’t wait.
So i’ve canceled 2 of my 3 US accounts, the RAF one was done anyway, and the second US account will go live again when SL goes live and i’ve bought the upgrade for that eventually.
IRL friends need to be taken care of.
Created 4 toons + one bank toon, all Human.
Rogue:Alchemy and Herbalism; level 16, skilling lock picking
Warlock: Tailoring and Enchanting;  level 6
Priest: Engineering and Mining; level 22, farming tin ore for stone to get Engineering to 90
Mage: Alchemy and Herbalism; level 6
A little help for herbalists in Classic: If you can’t see your herbs in Classic, since they are not sparkling, lower your “Ground Clatter” settings in the Graphics ----> Environment down to 1, that will let you basically see a mowed lawn type of grass environment, and it will let you see your herbs much better.

Hello everyone!

School is finally over for the year.  I really hope we are able to do some sort of in person teaching next year, the completely online learning is not great for many students.  

I'm back to putzing in WoW, not quite sure what to focus on next.  Something will pop up soon.  This week's Blast from the Past is brought to you by episode 413.  Enjoy!

Addon(s) of the week: ATT Classic and Thanks for the Buff. That addon does what it’s name suggests, it thanks the person that buffs your toon with one of 3 emotes that you can pre select or use a random choice setting for. It’s nice to see you being thanked by the person you buffed.
