Juuno’s Corner

Hello peoples.. just in case I didn't have time to get Juuno's message to you, I want you to know that she did send me one, BUT...I'm busy!!  So yeah....and that Pixie sent a note too...but...I am a wicked witch!!  I cannot be relied on to carry out other people's grunt work!  Juuno did beg and plead with me to give you hugs and kisses...but...really, do you WANT those from me anyway??  Good grief, I cannot wait for her to be sent back to her stinking home!  She's really very annoying.

What We've Been Doing:

Aprillian

Aprillian had picked a bunch of herbs in Pandaria, so she gave them to Astara who was able to level her alchemy to 540 during which time she learned 10 new recipes!

Ice and Caoboi in Panderia

Hey guys!

Caoboi and I have made it to 85! So as per our agreement, I am switching over to Iceflow while he is continuing on his monk. We are about to go to Panderia for the first time and I think I'm going to be excited. Just wanted to give you a heads up because the next time I write in, I should have something fun to say. Or something like that.

Hope you guys are having a wonderful time,

Iceflow and Caoboi



Gnome Shadow

Hello again to everyone at Ctrl-Alt-WoW!  

It's been a fabulous week here, as I got the okay to change to working from home - no more hour-long commute twice a day! Hmm, whatever shall I do with that extra time?  

Aprillian has pondered a couple of times now who is the high-pitched toon in my audios.  That would be Lilbitironic (Li'l Bit Ironic), one of those many Ironman gnome mages I managed to kill off.  I liked the name, so I resurrected her as another Ironman.  She's a little gun-shy now, though, so mostly she just tags along with Voltandra - her Gnome Shadow.  You'll hear more from her in the attached audio - shout out to the lovely Leeta for this week's inspiration.

I hope everyone's week has been great!!

Hiya CAW crew :)

Hi Ctrl Alt WoW crew!

This is Kat, a new listener and fellow WoW addict...oops, did I say addict? LOL! I am a level 75 human mage (yes, I'm Alliance) and am slowly making my way to Pandaria to have fun with pandas! :) I just wanted to say how much I adore your podcast and absolutely love how active you are with your listeners. I hope to send more emails in the future chronicling my adventures in Pandaria (when I get there, of course). Anywho, that's all for now, but before I go I'd just like to give a shoutout to Pixiegirl. You are an absolute doll and you make me smile each and every day.

Hugs and kisses,
XOXOXO
Kat the Mage

Carry on Farming…

Hail and well met CaW crew, hope all are happy and fit both in and out of game.

Not much to report this week, Mrs. Nekro and I have been mostly enjoying the farming, fishing and cooking dailies and dashing off once a night to punch the headless horseman on the nose hoping he'll drop his wonderful mount. (no luck on the mount thus far)

For the past few days our favorite activity in game has been dark soil hunting. Its very relaxing just skimming along the ground on our flying brooms listening to the lovely in game music and digging up bits of shiny to make the new neighbors love us more and more. It really is an easy way to gain rep with all the local farm owners.
I believe there is a hack that you can use to make the dark soil visibly sparkle like a mining node (I think I've seen a few people using it. You can tell by the way the dive down from a great height and snatch the DS just before you get to it). I'm fairly sure the hack is illegal so I'm not willing to chance using it plus that would take all the fun out of the hunt.

Wile searching for dark soil I came across the "Lost and Lonely" quest where you feed a lost dog who then runs off to live on your farm. He's a cute addition to your farm pets and his quest can be found at coordinates 42.4,50.

As you can see by the screenshots below our farms are doing very well and we each have five out of ten best friends.

Thats all for now, thanks so much for your awesome podcast, we love it and you so very much :)

Rigarmorty Email Update EP 292

HI Caw crew!

Sorry, no audio this week but I will send one next week once things settle down a bit more. It's been a busy week as usual, I got a couple of achievements this week. Firstly Zen Master Medic which was easy but my only maxed out profession. The other two were Savior Of Stonepaw and Might Roamin' Krasanger for completing Krasarang Wilds. That's the 3rd zone I've completed. It seems to be about one zone a week at the moment so fingers crossed I get MOP Loremaster before Christmas :)

Not much else to report really. I'm doing a Halloween Special of my Blight Night podcast which hasn't had an episode out in a little over a month because of all the RL stuff happening but keep an eye out for it being out Halloween night :)

Love what you do and your a great part of my week, when I get time to listen. (Cued up Episode 289 for today)

Cheers,

Rigarmorty


Day 12 day off within site
Well it's been 2 weeks since I talked to you and it's looking like it will be a third as I have been working like a dog. Had guild wars 2 CE turn up this week this is the second copy as the first was mis delivered plus I got a game pad. And that's about it hope to get some panda time next week on my day off.

CE MOP Contest 


Liteharted CE Submission
Favored Foursome and Fans,

Here's my brief audio submission.  I almost missed the cut-off because I was 2-3 weeks behind in my podcasts after a couple very busy weeks at work which drastically cut into my time to run (which is when I get to do most of my podcast listening).

Hopefully in the next week or two I'll get back with you about the joys of pet battling with my son who is too young for WoW, but is a big fan of Pokemon.

Quick tip for those who may be listening on this final day of Hallow's End, because the broom is instant cast, it can be very handy for those times you run or jump off cliffs.  It's about as good as been a druid! I've been loving it and will soon miss it.  Fortunately, I'm a mage, so I can still use slow fall in emergencies.

For the Alliance! (And squeaky or high pitched voices are fine because 3 out of 11 of my toons on my main server are gnomes--including my main who is a mage, a shadow priest [inspired by Ashayo or Jeppy's disdain for the idea], and a monk (Litefu)].

Liteharted and his many alts.

P.S. I'll try not to get into how my second month of refer-a-friend has only culminated in 30 some levels earned (not given).  I wouldn't want Jeppy to risk apoplexy.  On the other hand, he may be rejoicing since the attainment of further levels would go to the shadow priest gnome.

Hello Ctrl Alt Wow darlings,

I've attached the thingy that I was supposed to....so....there!  :P

Yours devlishly,

A friend of a friend of a friend.

What We've Been Doing:

Aprillian

Couldn’t summon from Jub Jub. And no cross realm giving RAF level. Shamaya starte undead, Taurean, Dwarf.

Audio giving levels
Dual Boxing Padaria, died.
Prillie - Nevikhoof
Prishillian - ER
Aprilhoof - Nevikhoof
MissApril - JubJub
Maysian - ER
Panda area made to thwart multi-boxers, so many collection quests!!!
Finally got the 5 out of the Panda Starting area. But they made my turtle run behind the cart
Wow, finallhy got all five out. Made 3 horde and 2 Alliance, including one Horde on Jub Jub and one Ally on Nevikhoof.
BonMarrow rewarded me with kite:

Ashayo

* Headless Horseman - healing ring eventually!
* Dailies, dailies, and more dailies! Honored with Golden Lotus. Can buy neck and legs for justice points and rings for valor points - need more! Spent my entire fortune of 8 spirit of harmony making an epic chest healing piece. Worth it!
* Heroics - mana problems, until I realised I was in my dps gear
* Much farming - literally. Revered with Tillers!
* Don't forget to buy things off the Tillers Quartermaster. A quest item to irrigate your farm and another to do pest control.
* Coughed up the living steel to become a transmute specialist. So far, not worth it! Not a single proc.
* Ran first Scenario - Annihilation - ring of blood style. I couldn’t queue for it, but Tinock can. Nice healing mace
* Dinged 86 on pally - pretty much entirely from mining. Done probably 8 quests.
* Ran a random scenario to get the valor points for the Golden Lotus ring. Now i455
* Random heroic - Scholomance. Quite a bit quicker than the old style one!
* Sha of Anger. Only got gold, but used a Elder Charm of Good Fortune and got PvP ring


Jeppy

* Operation Magic Cabinet
* ‘You have Reached the in-game mail unique mail recipient cap’! (152)
* New 90s
* Warlocks
* Tol Barad

Hello to everyone at Ctrl-Alt-WoW -

By the time this week's recording comes along, we'll be in the wilds of Hallow's End.  So much easier now with old world flying, but Pandaria will be a lot of ground riding for anyone not yet to 90 (such as myself, ahem).  To get us all in the spirit of the season, Voltandra has put together a little overview, attached.  

Grats to everyone who has hit 90 - you'll have a much easier time hitting those inns in the mists.  Have a great week, both in and out of game!

Pets 'R' Us


Hello to all the CAW crew,

So, there I was, waiting for midnight to tick over, and Pandaria to go live.  I was all trained up for the Zen Master for my professions, and was planning on training for the pet battles, doing the short little pet quests, and then leaving for Pandaria.  The opening quest popped in a few minutes early, I hopped over to the pet battle trainer, and promptly lost my mind.  THREE DAYS LATER, I finally made it to Pandaria.  But it all ended well.  Duvessae is level 90, and all her professions are maxed.  And with Zen cooking came heirloom pants for the guild.  My Alliance main is also level 90, which gave me the Double Agent achievement.  Working on my third level 90, but Hallow's End just launched, so it will be a bit slower.  I am limiting my dailies to three factions. or I fear I will go even more insane.  I am exalted with the Lorewalkers, and yes the disk really is that cool.  So I am working on the Tillers, the Order of the Cloud Serpent and the Anglers.  Jeppy, so sorry, but there is already a Master Baiter in the game.  Oh, and apparently I have been caressing lots of squirrels.

For the Horde, and little green paw prints,

Duvessae

Question for diggers
Hey all :)
I hope I'm on time!
Thank you for playing my audio 2 weeks ago - I'm sorry it was so boring, trying for bigger and better things as soon as I master my chemistry class.

Anyway, I have a Very Important Question: What is your favorite dig site to have spawn? and why? I want answers from all relevant ctrl-alt-wow dynamos.

Thank you!

Oh! and by the way mwah mwah mwah is prononced like you're planting big fat juicy kisses.

HI Aprillian, Ashayo, Eljeppy and Tedra!

Just a written email this week. I promise to start getting more audios to you from next week onward! Real Life stuff is still getting in the way of any recording and in fact it's actually been a month since I lost got a podcast episode out EEEK! That's coming back next week to so that'll be good.

In game, I've been getting my usual 10 minutes or more of play time whenever I can. I completed the Valley of The Four WInds Area achievement which is the 2nd zone now completed in my quest for MOP Loremaster. It's going to take awhile. I'm enjoying Krasarang Wilds which I know a lot of people have said is just Stranglethorne Vale re-hashed for MOP. I like it though and it's seems to be going quite smoothly through there. I'm currently about 3/4 the way through level 97 just taking my time. I think I'll do some dungeons when I actually have a bit more time to play.

I'm a little behind in my podcast listening as well so I'll be trying to catch up with all that this weekend.

Anyway, a big shout out for Big G, hope all is going ok mate and a massive shout out to Juuno for everything she does!

Cheers,

Rigarmorty

Halloween time yay!!!!!

Hello spooky CaW crew- Apprillian, Ashayo, El Jeppy and Tedra.

Its our favorite time of the year, its Halloween!!! And its our favorite world event Hallows End!!! Last year we didn't get to play during our favorite event because we were super busy with moving house, entertaining my dear old Dad, and getting married.
But this year we get to finish the Hallows End achievement, we are both so excited.

The first thing we did was to get our creepy crate and visit all the inns in Panderia.
Next we'll visit all the inns in Northrend and Cataclysm and that will take care of the trick or treating achievements we are missing and get us our little broom riding cat pets as well.
(we were both so sad last year when we saw the cool little cat pet and knew we'd have wait a whole year to get one)

We tried to complete the "out with it" achievement but can't seem to find the right combination or amount of candy to eat and the vomit up. We'll also be trying to get the Nerd rage achievement though we're a little afraid of that one as neither of us are battlegrounds people. Any advice here would be appreciated.

Thats all for now, Hope all our wonderful guildies have a happy hallows event.

Much spooky love to our favorite pod caters

The Nekro's

PS we've included a few pix of our crazy spooky wedding from last year

Hey gang! Great show last week! Aprillian, you mentioned Shamaya asking you about killing Sylvaanas and you quoted her saying, "cant we just kill her?" I'm not buying that. By listening to you both battling, and how intense she gets, I'm sure her quote was more along the lines of "Why don't we just waste the bitch!"
So ummm I made an audio for the contest. Buuuuuttttt it's over 4 minutes long and I couldn't trim any more so I'm sure I've disqualified my entry. But I still have a chance to win on Big G's submission! Thanks for that bud. And it sounds like you got to experience pet battles last week without even venturing into wow!!! So I've attached my submission anyway, take care everyone and hope to see you in game. Donnie.
