Constraxx

  Happy Haloaua in Hall of Beasts Zuldazar sells 5 pets if you want to flesh out some of your collection.

  Archeology solved Tol’vir after turning back time in Uldum, big sword blocked the solves, got recipe for vial of the sands after 20 rare solves, 50% of digs were Tol’vir in the next 10 digs.

  Did legendary pet battle Corrupted Blood of Argus where I used Igneous Flameling from Midsummer Fire festival used a guide from Hazel Nuttygames of 2017 which worked perfectly for all 10 families.

   Engaged in AH PvP with a lot of Cataclysm Materials, 600 looted in Twilight Highlands, 1000 gotten from AH, another 1600 looted, and ran out of steam for 2000 goal.  Trained 2 characters to fish in Stranglethorn Vale to get the book to learn fishing, trained for Cataclysm fishing where you get 2 volatile fires per pool at the first cast when you have level 1 fishing.

Grand Nagus

Daily quests in TBCC. 

Collecting the cooking recipes from the cooking daily loot bags. Got 2 so far.

Haven’t really done much, due to IRL things that had to take priority.

2 weeks of holidays in Denmark.

Hello everyone!


I did a few callings (or whatever they are called) to start gaining more renown with my faction.  I went back and skimmed some of the patch notes and read what was coming with the new patch and found that I need to have a renown of 40 before I can begin the trek to unlock flying in Shadowlands.  At least I think that's what I read.  So I was working on doing a few things to get that up.  I think I'm around 32 right now or something like that.


This week we have clips from episode 438 for our Blast from the Past.  I hope you enjoy it!


Best,


Kyle

Addon(s) of the week: Minimap Button Bag. If finally works again. I used Minimap Button Frame until now, but that doesn’t work anymore, so i had to find a new addon.

Ctrl Alt WoW Episode 713 - Happy Birthday Patty Mattson

This week in WoW:


ONGOING :             


ENDING Tuesday (reset) : Timewalking: Mists of Pandaria


BEGINS Monday: Midsummer Fire Festival running from June 21st - July 5th.


BEGINS Tuesday (reset): Battleground Bonus Event

                                     PvP Brawl: Cooking Impossible.



What We've Been Doing:

We have a release date for Patch 9.1: June 29th / 30th.

The raid release schedule is as follows:

July 6 – Normal and Heroic Difficulties

July 13 – Raid Finder Wing 1 and Mythic Difficulties (The Tarragrue, The Eye of the Jailer, The Nine)

July 27 – Raid Finder Wing 2 (Soulrender Dormazain, Remnant of Ner’zhul, and Painsmith Raznal)

August 10 – Raid Finder Wing 3 (Guardian of the First Ones, Fatescribe Roh-Kalo, and Kel’Thuzad)

August 24 – Raid Finder Wing 4 (Sylvanas Windrunner)


All 8 bosses in the new Mega-dungeon Tazavesh have a Hardmode, a mechanic first introduced with my favorite Raid Ulduar, partly because of the Hardmode mechanic, giving the fights so much more complexity, if you want it.




Aprillian

Figured out Vrishna’s last IronVrishna was IV I.59



Constraxx

  Dead blanchy wants 8 bushels of oats.

  A comb to brush the hair out of her eyes.

  Four Horseshoes found in Revendreth roads.

  A bucket of water.

  A comfortable saddle blanket.

  3 Dreadhollow Apples.


Grand Nagus

The Forsaken Priest reached 70.

Got an Arcanite Rod and a Fel Iron Rod for Enchanting so i can now continue leveling my Enchanting past 295. After I made my Runed Fel Iron Rod I went from 295 to 340 Enchanting and I feel like I'll be able to get to close to max skill within the next few weeks.

My Tailoring is at exactly 340/375 as well, now this is harder to level since you need more cloth than you need Enchanting mats. You can’t just un-tailor something, even though that would be a great idea, like we had in BfA, scrapping. Not sure why they didn’t keep it in Shadowlands. The concept was sound imo.

Hello everyone!


Sorry for the long hiatus, it has been a very busy month and half and I cannot believe it is already mid June.  Where did the time go?  Between ending the school year and jury duty and other commitments, time has just been a blur.  Hopefully soon I will be back into WoW and faced with a very difficult decision: what should I do?  Should I level a few characters, try some LFR, or has something new been introduced that I should try?  I guess we'll see where the mood takes me when I log in :)


Here is another Blast from the Past coming to you from episode 437.  Enjoy!

This week in WoW:



ONGOING :             


ENDING Tuesday (reset) : World Quest Bonus Event

                                       PvP Brawl: Warsong Scramble


BEGINS Tuesday (reset): Timewalking: Mists of Pandaria


New GLOBAL Battle.net.

Global friends lists (thru Battletag). Friends on different continents are identified by their continental tag before their names.

This is, according to Blizzard, only the first step, where billions of players worldwide can make friends and play together. 

What do we think about that?

Will that eventually extend to a global WoW with no more regional restrictions?

                                    

Burning Crusade Classic - Free Character Transfers Service Ends Soon.


According to the list of origin and target realms for free realm transfers, 

that service ends on June 15, so on Monday it will be ending.

After that the normal costs will apply again.


Terran Gregory has become a WoW Dev.


Diablo II: Resurrected will launch on September 23rd.



What We've Been Doing:



Aprillian



Constraxx

Spending time doing Callings in Shadowlands.  Killing rares.  Doing Court of Embers.  Getting whee! Buff from Darkmoon Faire to increase Reputation Gains. Eye of the Jailer seems to have harsh repercussions when you have a legendary equipped, less than 10 minutes to reach rank 3.  Went to Molten core, Pandaria, and Grizzly Hills for a quest in Oribos to have new decorations at the Ember Court.


Grand Nagus


My Forsaken Priest is now 69, only one more level to go.

I finally bought fast riding for 510g and an epic mount for around 83g both numbers with revered rep discount.

Farming rep in the various dungeon hubs and zones.

The first zone i’m going to have done will be the Cenarian Expedition in Zangarmarsh.

That means that i can then buy the first of my four (4) heroic keys that are used to unlock the heroic difficulty of that respective hub, in my case Coilfang Reservoir with Slave Pens, Underbog and Steam Vaults in it. 

You need all those unlocks to attune yourself to be able to run the Karazhan Raid since some of the attunements are, if memory serves, done on heroic difficulty.

So far i’ve had luck in getting a very good shoulder item from Old Hillsbrad.

I did also get my first piece of dungeon set gear, Hallowed Raiments, so I'm really happy that I’m ready for level 70 with the Hallowed Garments.

I love the fact that they put in dungeon sets for each class in TBC. These are the set bonuses:

(2) Set : Gives you a 30% chance to avoid interruption caused by damage while casting Binding Heal.

(4) Set : Your Prayer of Mending heals an additional 100 health.

To buy the TBCC Digital Deluxe Edition or not to buy it?
