Tying a bow on 2018
Another year is coming to a close. It’s always a time for us to look back and reflect on the year, to celebrate our achievements and say goodbye to perhaps some of the sadder moments that have happened. For this post, I’m going to take a look back at my 2018 bucket list to see […]

Topic 36: Farewell to Legion
It’s been awhile since I’ve participated in one of these challenges (which is pretty hilarious given I’m one half of the team that runs these things… ) I’m aiming to do better with these challenges, though, so here I am. I chose this topic for the challenge because I wanted to see some more positive […]

Legion Raiding gallery
There’s nothing better than getting your guild mates together and taking down some bosses. A collection of team kill shots and videos for each of the raids.

Hope in Before the Storm
Every time I think about the book, I keep thinking about hope, and what it means to lose it. And what becomes of the person who does.

Raiding with Realm
I’ve been wanting to do something for my guild for quite some time. I’ve grown so fond of my guildies, and I wanted to say thank you.

Titanslayer, btw
Well, we have officially “finished” Legion. Last weekend our guild finally killed mythic Argus, giving us the Cutting Edge achievement. It took over 600 pulls and countless frustrations, but we made it. We are now Titanslayers (a title we now use to brush off dozens of wipes during re-clear…) I’m proud of our team, though. Even […]

Class mounts – complete!
It has been a very long time coming (thanks my slow-ass levelling skills) but this weekend I finally finished collecting all of the class mounts. I’m officially finished!

The last of the journey to Lord of the Reins
What a big weekend! Achievements and mounts and pets – it all happened! ~*~*~*~Note there are some class campaign and class mount story spoilers in this post for Death Knight and Rogue.~*~*~*~ This weekend I managed to tick of a lot of things from my bucket list, and even a few that weren’t there. First up, my […]

Uuna <3
One of the more recent secrets discovered by the amazing Secret Finding Discord is a story line involving a pet from Argus named Uuna. Instead of giving a mount or a pet or achievement, this quest line is simply story. Utterly gut wrenching, heart breaking story. It’s beautiful and tragic and hopeful and perfect. Here’s […]

Chosen
For the past few weeks/months a few people in guild have been trying to get a group together to work on getting The Chosen achievement. For this achievement, you need to complete the Trial of Valor on mythic difficulty without dying. That is, defeating Odyn, Guarm and Helya on mythic, and still being alive at […]

Rainbow bright
I’m not very good at saving money in real life, but I’m a little better at it in WoW (mostly because we don’t have to pay rent or anything in game hehe). I’m not the greatest at making gold at all; I don’t have the time or the patience. But I do make enough to […]

The catch-up
It’s been awhile, so I thought I’d best do a catch-up post to let you know what I’ve been up to and what I have planned.

Malfurion and Tyrande can get stuffed
Before Legion, I hadn’t really given Malfurion and Tyrande much thought other than Tyrande’s dress is super pretty, and Malfurion sleeps an awful lot…
-
Raiding and streaming and healing, oh my!
I mentioned in my 2017 wrap up post that raiding had gone a bit weird for awhile with yet another guild disruption and shifting and all that. I’m not going to dwell on it- the past is in the past. And since Antorus opened, I’ve been trying to keep a positive attitude towards everything, because […]

Corrupted Ashbringer
~*~*~*~*~ This post contains spoilers for collecting the Retribution Paladin hidden appearance ~*~*~*~*~ During the Christmas break I had made the decision to get the Corrupted Ashbringer skin for my retribution paladin artifact (the hidden appearance). I looked up on wowhead what I needed to do. I knew it was quite a detailed expedition, so was […]

The quest for a hunter’s mount
~*~*~* This post contains spoilers for the Hunter class mount quest chain.~*~*~* One of my ongoing goals in game to have completed before the next expansion is to get all of the class mounts. I’ve been slowly but steadily making my way through levelling each class, then getting their mount/s. Today, I unlocked another, my […]

A look back at what was in the bucket of 2017
We’ve put up two challenges for the rest of December over at Z and Cinder’s Blog Challenge. Partly because we couldn’t decide what order to post them in, and partly (ok mostly!) because we’re just so busy these days that we didn’t want to miss the topics entirely because somehow 2 weeks passed by and […]

By the light!
The alt that I have been working on lately has been my priest. I’ve never been very good at being a priest. Shadow just doesn’t mesh well with me, and I didn’t really like holy last time I tried it either. Same for Discipline, really. But I *really* wanted the priest class mount. And the […]

Trial of Style – Cinder’s tips!
This week one of the most anticipated micro-holidays finally rolled around- the Trial of Style. A micro-holiday all about transmog!!! It really is a lot of fun. It does help to go in prepared, so I thought I’d give those who haven’t had a go yet a quick run down of what to expect, and […]

Look to the skies
~*~*~*~*~ Potential spoilers ahead.~*~*~*~*~ EDIT: adding more pics of little things like this as I find them. See them at the bottom of the post. This latest reset has seen a few new things appear in game. For those who have not yet killed Kil’Jaeden on Normal or higher difficulty, the skies would have been […]

Here comes the sun…darter hatchling
So the secret finding community has been at it again, and with the launch of 7.2.5 they discovered how to get the gorgeous Sun Darter Hatchling pet. It’s quite the puzzle, and incredible of them to have figured it out!
-
Mythic Gul’doooowwwwwwwn!!!!
Well, it took us three weeks, lots of tears, frustration, swearing and hysteria, but we did it – Mythic Gul’dan is defeated! We got our Cutting Edge achievement, and new title Vengeance Incarnate.

Sunday suckfest
I’ve spent a bit of time this weekend attempting the mage tower artifact challenge yet again. I put in about an hour or 2 each time the tower is up in an attempt to get the artifact appearance that I have been wanting since I first saw it on beta. This weekend I got the […]

Thank you Coolidge!!!
I’ve said quite a few times how wonderful the WoW community can be. From organising fundraisers, to helping each other out, to just being super awesome people. This week I was lucky enough to be the recipient of some generosity from the WoW community.

Z and Cinder’s blog challenge topic 15: I love it all!!
It’s funny, I’ve put off writing this post for awhile. Not because I don’t have anything to love about WoW, but because there is so much to love and I’m finding it difficult to pin down only a few things to talk about.
-
It was the best of times, it was the busiest of times!
Getting back to work has been really great – knowing I’ve got money coming in again to pay bills is a big load off my mind! But it does come with the downside of a lot less game time.
-
Get to the Point!
Patch 7.2 started for us Aussies on Wednesday. It was eerie going back to the Broken Shore….
-
Cheers!
This evening I was pottering around Dalaran. I wandered out of the kitchen and noticed a door I had been running past all expansion. Of course I had to go see what was in there.
-
Nighthold adventures!
Nighthold has been out for a couple of weeks now, and guilds everywhere have been poking around killing this and that, edging their way up to kill the worst of the worst – Gul’dan.
-
Pit Crew, assemble!
In my last post I mentioned there had been a bunch of guild drama that had happened recently, and I tweeted last week about the guild ending. It’s sure has been a busy time! I don’t like to talk negatively about other people or anything, so I’m not here to bitch about individuals. But I did want to talk a little about some of the things that lead to the situation, and what’s happening moving forward.

Z and Cinder’s blog challenge: 2017 totally do-able bucket list
So this week we’re putting together our bucket lists for the year, with the idea of coming back to them at the end of the year to see how we did. Knowing that, in a way, I’ll be held accountable for what I put here has actually made me think about this a little more seriously.

Classy! part 2
One of my goals during the summer down time has been to unlock all of my class halls. Today, I finished that. This is Part 2…

A valorous victory
Thursday night was our last formal raid night for the year. With most people being unavailable for Christmas/New Years/family time it was our last chance to try and get at least one mythic boss down in Trials of Valor.

Oh holy… paladin
Well ok that’s a misleading title. I keep getting random Christmas songs in my head so I dunno, it just happened. So earlier this week I was bumming around damaging eternity by killing time just kinda not really doing anything. I’ve been spending a lot of my game time doing my emissary quests and getting […]

Z and Cinder’s blog challenge – thoughts on 7.1
This week patch 7.1 Return to Karazhan was released. And what a patch it is! 7.1 brings with it a new min-raid, a whole bunch of new pet battle content (including a new Raiding With Leashes achievement and wild pets to raise into mounts) and, of course, Karazhan – the mythic dungeon on steroids (plus a buch of other stuff) . So how have I been spending 7.1?

Z and Cinder blog challenge – professions
My lovely friend Zeirah and I are challenging each other with a weekly blog post. We choose a topic and both write about. This week’s topic is all about professions. You can read Z’s post about this topic right here. This week’s post topic was suggested by Elgaric (who has a new podcast coming out soon – Azeroth or Bust). […]

Blog challenge – saddest quest
My lovely friend Zeirah and I are challenging each other with a weekly blog post. We choose a topic and both write about. This week’s topic is the saddest quest in Legion. You can read Z’s post about her favourite right here.

For Azeroth! (part 1)
Legion has now been out for three weeks. It has been an amazing three weeks, I have to say. The Emerald Nightmare raid opened last night, so I thought it would be a good time to reflect on how Cinderstorm got to this point.

Blog challenge: favourite Legion NPC
Z and I have been chatting about Legion a fair bit lately, and it came up that we’re both feeling like we’re not blogging enough (well, I sure am not! Z has been doing quite well indeed!) Anyway, we decided to set a challenge where we would both blog about the same topic, to encourage us both to write more.
-
I LOVE THIS GAME!!
Can I just take a minute to say how absolutely AMAZING Legion has been so far? And look how darn beautiful it is!
-
HAPPY LEGION!
I hope everyone has an amazing experience levelling in Legion. Remember to eat, drink plenty of water, get some sleep, and get up to stretch your legs every now and then. But mostly – HAVE FUN!!

Yer a wizard!
So I finally got the chance to transfer my mage back over to the Alliance. I was having troubles trying to decide what race to make her. She has SO much transmog…

Pre-patch adventures
I knew going in to this new patch that there would be some big changes, and that things might not work. So I didn’t hold my breath that things would be ok.
-
We made it!
We have a pre-patch date, and it’s just a few days away!!! Come July 19, we will have officially made it. The wait for new things to do is officially over! From here on in we’ll be having loads of content headed our way for months to come. (and here I am slightly panicking […]

Don’t bring me down
I’ve been pretty quiet here on my blog recently, and for pretty good reason. I’m angry. Well, actually, that’s an understatement. I’m down right pissed off. And up until now I’ve figured it was better to just stay quiet so I don’t upset anyone or ruffle any feathers, because I don’t like arguments or being […]

(Temporary) Girl Gone WoW
I sure am getting around lately! (Not like that, silly!) This week I had the pleasure of visiting EJ and Raven from Girls Gone WoW to talk about levelling, and especially about levelling in Legion. You can have a listen in Show 227. Unfortunately Skype was a colossal asshole for us – we were all […]

Dummy for a day!
Last weekend I completely geeked out because I was lucky enough to be a guest on one of my favourite podcasts, The Training Dummies. I’ve been listening to Rob and Darryl for awhile now (TTD and Realm Maintenance were some of the first podcasts I listened to after Girls Gone WoW got me in to […]

Decision made
Regular readers will know that I’ve been ummming and ahhhing about how to level in Legion – do I want to make it as quick as possible by levelling as DPS but potentially causing troubles for my healing artifact? Or do I want to power up my healing artifact from the very beginning but have […]

The price of talent – let’s bargain!
Today Watcher Dev made a post on the forums about removing the cost of changing specs (that is currently on the Legion beta) but instead implementing a cost for changing talents. I’ll post both of his comments below (these can be found on the forums here) We’ve definitely heard much feedback to this effect, and […]

A home to call my own
Well today I finally made a decision about where I want to be in Legion, and have decided to look for a new guild and raid team. I have loved being in Deadline – the people are amazing. We always have a laugh, we know how to have a good time. It has been awesome. […]

Battling for epics
I started writing this when the topic of Epic Battle Stones was still being discussed. Today Blizzard has responded to the feedback and decided not to go ahead with the Epic stones. So my post is probably a little useless.But here I am anyway. I felt that the discussion around the epic stones was relatively […]
-
A-mage-ing!
(yeah I feel dirty about the title, too!) So this weekend I found myself drawn once more to my mage. This always happens – when I feel a bit lost for something to do, I fall back on to my mage. I’m pretty sure it’s the portals – it makes getting around the world so […]

You beta test this!
This week I was a guest on the Girls Gone WoW podcast with the ever lovely ladies, Raven and EJ. As usual, I had a brilliant time. You can check out the episode on their website here (or iTunes, Stitcher etc). The episode was about all things Beta. We talked about our experiences with Betas, how […]

Spoilers and me
NOTE: THERE ARE NO LEGION SPOILERS IN THIS POST! It’s taken me a little while to write this post for a few reasons. The main one being that I’ve been quite cross. I wanted to write this post with a clear head, but it has definitely taken a little for it to clear. So. Here […]
