Look what I got for my work Kris Kringle gift this year! I’m determined to find out who gave this to me so I can give them a huge thank you!!

Paragon World First Mythic Highmaul
Paragon have cleared Highmaul! I’ve been watching this race pretty closely. It’s been fascinating. For the longest time Ascension, who are an Australian guild on the same server I’m on, were kicking butt and clearing things super fast. They got a lot of world first kills so should be super proud. A lot of guilds…

and then….
Now it’s just getting weird. First there was my weekend pet surprises, then yesterday I got even more, and then today – 2 more! This morning from my garrison daily pet battle, I got the Albino Chimaeraling: Then tonight I sent my warlock off to the Darkmoon Faire to do the two pet battle dailies…

And the pets just keep coming…
After all the good fortune I had with pets and mounts over the weekend, I thought that would be it for awhile. So imagine my shock when, from my second Big Bag of Pet Supplies I managed to get this little guy! He’s a little Sun Sproutling and he’s super adorable. Maybe from my third bag…

All of the pets (and a rare mount!)
So many pets for me this weekend! I’ve been so so lucky. It started on Thursday with Argi: Argi is Blizzard’s fundraiser pet this year. 100% of the money paid for him goes to the Red Cross to help the Ebola efforts in Africa. If you haven’t adopted him yet, please do! He can do…

Highmaul Raid night 1
Well, all manner of dramas are happening on our server at the moment. Highmaul has just opened, so raiding has officially started again! We had a good start – everyone got in ok, and we one-shot Kargath Bladefist. And then everything went down the toilet. Looks like the servers are getting DDOS-ed so people have…

The journey to 100
The journey to 100 has been a lot of fun. I was incredibly fortunate and didn’t experience any of the queues or other such issues (although many of my guild friends did). To be fair, some mornings I was up at 5:30am so I think that definitely helped. So! Here are a bunch of us…

What is with all the poop in Draenor??

Addicted
So I haven’t been here much, simple because I’ve been playing Warlords of Draenor every spare second I can. I was super lucky and didn’t experience many of the issues other people had. I suppose if I did I would have updated. 😉 Back to work today. Will do a bunch of posts in a…

WoD Launch day
I’m stuck on the loading screen of death, so thought I’d share some screen shots of Warlords so far. I had to turn general chat off because the whining from everyone was driving me nuts. It’s launch day – what is everyone expecting? Just try and have fun, and if you can’t, come back later.…

A winner is me!
Look what I won!!!! I was so super lucky to win lookingforazeroth’s 1000 follower competition. I was allowed to pick a mount from the blizz store and chose this little fella. I figured having a mount that flies and looks good while running along was perfect for WoD where flying is not allowed. I went…

Thanks Alysrazor!
So I took my mage in to firelands for a solo run of Alysrazor last night and this happened…

Blizzcon and framerates and guides, oh my!
I haven’t been around much lately as my partner’s Mum is staying with us, leaving us little time for WoW. And so of course while I’m a bit afk, all things WoW are blowing up! Blizzcon Obviously the hot topic at the moment is Blizzcon. The tweets/posts about Blizzcon get me both super excited and…

Blazing Wings
I got my Blazing Wings! I wasn’t patient enough to wait for the bug to be fixed, so I got a bit crafty, and instead jumped on my poor neglected Death Knight on Aman’Thul to try my luck. Thankfully Aman’Thul is as dead as ever, and there were only a handful of people attempting the…

War Crimes
Image from Wowpedia I’ve been listening to the audio book of War Crimes for the past week. I have to say, I’ve really enjoyed it. It was nice to be thrown straight in to the story without the prelude of getting to know the characters and what not – I already knew who they were,…

To be a Restoration Shaman
6.0.2 has landed, and along with it a world of changes for everyone. Most noticeable of the changes are the changes to classes, and the stat squish. Last night our raid team ran a normal (ex-flex level) run so we could test out the changes. Because I’m maining my Shaman in WoD, I took her with…

Awake the Drakes!
Cinderanged of the Black Harvest on her Emerald Drake (reward from the new Awake the Drakes achievement). I haven’t had a chance to take her out and see what the warlock changes are like (given she’s an Alt, this probably won’t happen for awhile tbh), but I just had to give her her much deserved new…

I’m your queen now
I’m your queen now, bitches! Went to say farewell to Garrosh before 6.0.2 drops, and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to stake my claim to the warchief position. One of my guildies was there saying goodbye too (in a fashion), and when I said the above, he kneeled before me – it was a glorious…

Farewell MoP
Really loved this. I know a lot of people didn’t like this expansion, but for me it’s the first I’ve played from beginning to end and I’ve loved it (even with a year of Siege of Orgrimmar). Everything was beautiful, the music STUNNING. I’m going to miss it. originally posted on reddit here (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Brawler’s Guild – all done!
Brawler’s Guild – done! Yet another thing that I didn’t think I’d have the skill or time to do. Out of curiosity I took my shaman in to Brawler’s Guild to for a bit of a muck around. I figured I might get through the first couple of ranks but that would be about. I’d…

Green fire
So yesterday I got it in my head that I’d get green fire on my warlock. Now let me preface this by saying that I SUCK at playing a warlock. I’m honestly beyond useless at it. I levelled her, took her in to an LFR and failed so badly I’ve only ever played her to…

Challenge Modes – Paladin!
I got Challenge modes on my pally!! I’m really pleased with myself, because I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to heal Challenge Modes to gold. And yet, here I am! I love the paladin set. I particularly like the way is glows when I cast spells – looks really cool as a healer 😀…

Celestial Tournament part III – VICTORY!!
Pic from https://petcharge.wordpress.com/category/celestial-tournament-2/ Well, my stubbornness has paid off. Last night I finished levelling the last of my pets to 25, so off I went to try my hand at the Celestial Tournament. I was actually really nervous about it, but the WoWhead guide to defeating the Celestial Tournament is AMAZEBALLS and got me through. …

Healing Challenge Modes
Well, I’m doing challenge modes again. This time as a healer. I wasn’t expecting to do this – having done challenge modes twice now as dps, I saw how darn difficult it was to heal them and figured there was no way I’d be able to do that. But here I am. I’ve taken my…

Celestial tournament part II – training
So I’m still working on getting my team together for the celestial tournament. (part I is here for those who missed it). I’ve been using a spreadsheet to help me keep track of the pets I need to capture/level. I didn’t have all of the recommended pets, but I do have a lot of alternatives,…

dead headset
Well, my headset died over the weekend. I’m not happy. I’ve only had it for a year, and it wasn’t the cheapest thing in the world (though not the most expensive either – just enough that they made a dent in the bank account at the time). What broke in the end was the wire that…

Celestial Tournament, I’m coming for you!
Pic from https://petcharge.wordpress.com/category/celestial-tournament-2/ I can be pretty obsessive. (Shame I can’t be obsessive about eating right and exercising, but that’s for another time!) When I set my mind to something in WoW, I don’t stop until it’s done. It’s how I’ve got 9 max level toons, 4 legendary capes and stupid achievements (and why not having…

Well there goes my afternoon
So in some strange internet rabbit hole, I came across videos of 2 of my favourite things: World of Warcraft, and Jonathan Coulton. They’re pretty old, so some of you may have already seen them. But I haven’t, and they are glorious. Here are some of my favourites: Skullcrusher Mountain Code Monkey re: Your Brains…

Challenge Modes
For the past two weeks some of us guildies got together and worked our way through the challenge mode dungeons. At some silly hour on Saturday night, we finished our last one! Gold wins for us all! Of course we immediately ran off to put on our new transmog set and get our phoenixes. We…

Be good to each other :)
Just had a very lovely moment in WoW that I wanted to share with you all (given there’s so much negativity going around at the moment, perhaps a nice story will help?) I was hanging around on the timeless isle farming leather for my dailies. As I approached the area with all the sprites, I…

Happy 2nd blog-birthday to me!!
I got a lovely blog birthday message from tumblr for my blog’s 2nd birthday. And to make things even better, I got my 100th follower on the same day. Huzzah!

Mr & Mrs WoW Community Project
The lovely folks over at Mr & Mrs WoW have a brilliant project going on at the moment to get some positivity back in to the WoW community. They have asked: What I propose is that we all list the top 3 things in Warcraft that we LOVE. The things that make us play the game. The events, places, achievements,…

my favourite mount
Do you have a bucket load of mounts? Do you have a hard time choosing a favourite to keep on your action bars? Do you forget that awesome mount you got that one time that you used only once and have ignored since then because it didn’t match the totally awesome transmog you got the…

WoD beta testing- toy box!!
Toy box! One of the things I’ve been looking forward to most of all in WoD is the promise of more bag space. They’re implementing a number of features, such as extra bank tabs, double void storage, and not having to carry quest items in your bags. The other cool thing is the toy box…

Monk tanking adventures
Well I’m finally home again. After a few hiccups, I managed to get my access to the WoD beta working, but can’t actually connect to anything. Doesn’t seem to like me! Which is disappointing because I’m really keen to test out the resto shaman healing. I’ve been reading a few comments on the forums –…

I won a Warlords of Draenor beta key from WowHead! I’m so excited!! Although of course I’m still interstate at the moment so won’t get to try things out until the end of the week. I will be focusing on my shaman and (where possible) testing out the healing changes, so stay tuned! And if…

Raiding again
blah! Tumblr ate my post. Now I have to try to remember what I said! A couple of weeks ago I applied to a guild on my server. As my gear was too low for current tier, I was looking to join for Warlords of Draenor. They invited me to the guild and I’ve been…

Rant
I have rage-quit 2 LFRs this week out of sheer frustration of inconsiderate people. (As a side note – LFR is the only raiding option available to me at the moment, given I am not in a raid team, otherwise I probably wouldn’t be there!). The first LFR was on the weekend, going in to…

Got my shammy a new outfit today. Had maxed out JP for ages so spent them on a few of the Relentless Gladiator’s Earthshaker pieces. I bought the helm, too, but after wearing it for a bit decided I didn’t like it much, so am going without for the moment. Waist is just my current…

Aww yeah Aeonaxx!!
I only found out about the Phosphorescent Stone Drake mount last night – a drop from the super rare Aeonaxx in Deepholm (someone in guild said Cata’s equivalent of the Time Lost Proto-Drake). I flew around for about 10 minutes last night on the off chance he’d spawn, but of course no such luck. I ran…

What a long, strange trip it’s been
I’ve been seriously working on this for awhile now. Not as long as others – only a year (probably around when the Midsummer festival was on last year). It was around then that I realised I only had a few bits and pieces to go before I would have this achievement. So I worked my…

Undecided
It’s been about 2 months since my raid team/guild fell apart (most people have left the guild now, except for one of the officers who has just came back within the last week, and a friend of mine who plays casually). It’s pretty lonely for me in WoW now. My bf doesn’t play anymore, there’s…

Guess who’s back?
Well our internet finally got connected. I must admit, the wait was worth it. We’ve been really lucky and have NBN (fastest internet you can get in Australia – which, to be fair, isn’t as fast as countries, I am aware!). So things are quite speedy. So I’m back on WoW! Except some drama is…

No internets :'(
We moved house a little while ago. We knew we’d be without internet, so we made sure that we started the process of getting set up at the new place well in advance of us leaving. It’s now been probably 3 and a half weeks and we still don’t have anything. We’re getting jerked around…
