Blaugust 2022 – 16 – Dragonflight Alpha
You wouldn’t think it seeing my blog, but I’ve actually had access to Dragonflight Alpha for quite a few weeks.

Blaugust 2022 – 6 – The first night
I feel like the first time raiding with a new team is like going on a first date with someone…

On reflection
For a little while now I’ve been feeling myself drifting further and further away from World of Warcraft and the community. I can’t pinpoint the moment I started shifting, but I find myself now feeling oddly separated from everything. It’s like I went to a party and was having a great time, laughing and dancing…

Who’s getting stabbed in the back tomorrow?
Tomorrow the gates of Azshara’s fabulous Eternal Palace open, giving us a brand new raid, with loads of new boss butts to kick. And with it (hopefully) will come some answers as to the next part of the Battle for Azeroth story. I for one am so pumped for this! I have some ideas about…

Come together
Warning – this post contains reference to sensitive content involving abuse and situations involving children. Please proceed with caution. I’m a bit quieter than usual this month as I am spending the vast majority of it interstate for work. I was hoping that I would have some time to finish off some posts before I left, but as is usually the case, I didn’t really get enough time before…

Merry 2018!
Wishing everyone a very happy holidays! I hope your days are filled with happy hearts and happy tummies. ❤ Thank you to all of you for simply just being here; for reading my blog or liking my tweets, watching my streams or listening to my podcast, or just generally being an amazing person to know.…

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.

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…

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…

A little help from my friends…
Hi everyone! A couple of weeks back I mentioned that I was going to be a guest on some podcasts coming up. The first of these was Realm Maintenance (Episode 192!) which was amazing and loads of fun. I’ll be on Girls Gone WoW again in a couple of weeks (which I am really looking…

At the end of April
It’s been awhile since I posted. I’ll be honest, I’ve been busy and not really having a brilliant time of things so haven’t had a lot of energy to write. That’s not to say that things haven’t been happening, so that’s why I’m here. Raiding The biggest thing is that I’m now 12/13 mythic bosses…

Field Photographer
Today I finally got off my butt and did the Field Photographer achievement. I had been putting it off for the longest time because I wanted to be smart about it and not waste my time zigzagging all over Azeroth. Then I came across this splendid guide on wowhead – http://www.wowhead.com/guide=2952/field-photographer-achievement-a-guide It has both a text version…

Reasons to alt
Regular readers will know that I am a huge fan of the Girls Gone WoW podcast. They have great discussion topics and are fantastic to listen to. For episode 211 EJ and Raven were joined by Leeta to discuss “How alt-friendly is WoW”? It’s a great episode – have a listen here. There was great…

All about the loot – Blizzard goodies!
Last week I received a very large box at my work. Inside the box was Blizzard goodies! I finally got around to making some space in the apartment over the weekend to give them a home and thought I would share them with you.

A question of valor
So there has been a couple of edits to the patch notes for 6.2.3. I wrote about my initial thoughts on 6.2.3 in a post last week (which you can check out here if you are so inclined!) For the most part – yay! Today’s updates I found to be interesting. Here’s what the edits…

Bye bye, Heroic Archimonde!
Last night was a good night of raiding. We had made our way through all of Heroic Hellfire Citadel on Wednesday night so that we would have all of Sunday evening to work on getting Heroic Archimonde down for the first time. Turns out we only needed 2 pulls. We were very fortunate to have…

Thoughts on 6.2.3 (without the table flipping)
Edited: I misread the cross-realm information – Cross-realm Mythic raiding is EXCELLENT news! It’s quite daunting waking up to see twitter exploding with opinions about some WoW news that was released while I was asleep. One of the problems with the time delay is that I see opinions before I see what the actual news…

Feel Good Friday! – October 2
Feel Good Friday! is a weekly exercise to help bring some positivity in to the gaming community by sharing stories to make people smile. They may be heartwarming or funny stories, tales of your epic kills or something that you’ve found in game – anything that gives you some good vibes. This weeks’ Feel Good Friday…

It’s on the list!
Even though Legion is probably still quite some time away, many people are already in the end of expansion wind down. Some people are unsubbing temporarily, whilst others, like myself, are making a bucket list of things to get done before Legion comes out. (By the way, if you’re looking for ideas of things to…

Stormrage – all the rage
A week or so ago now I finished reading World of Warcraft: Stormrage by Richard A. Knaak. It made me very cross. This is the second World of Warcraft novel I’ve read, the first being War Crimes by Christie Golden (which is fantastic by the way – you should definitely read it!) I have about…

Podcast goodness
Earlier this week I was a guest on the Girls Gone WoW podcast! It was a really fun time, even if I did get up just after 4am in the morning after a late raid night and then no sleep (’cos I was so nervous and excited!). Despite all that, I somehow managed to be…

What I want from Legion
Legion has been announced! I’m still reeling from it all. There is SO much awesome stuff coming in this new expansion, and I am super excited about it all. But there a couple of things I want most of all from the expansion. Firstly, I’m not going to bother recapping the content of the announcement…
-
This is not a drill!
I repeat! This is NOT A DRILL! This time next week we will know what the next World of Warcraft expansion will be. I for one am VERY excited about this! Not too thrilled about the time that it’s happening, but that’s because it’s being announced on the other side of the world – so…

Arcane adventures
I’ve felt quite guilty having not levelled my mage to 100 yet. She was my first character, and I do love her. But when the mage changes came in for WoD, my mage just didn’t feel like my mage anymore.

An Officer and a Raid Leader
Those of you who follow me on twitter will know that a few weeks ago our Guild Master/Raid Leader decided it was time for him to leave WoW. I was devestated to say the least. He’s an awesome guy, and I’m glad I got to meet him in person at our guild meet up earlier…

Shipyard – am I doing it right?
One of the features to come out of the 6.2 patch has been the addition of a shipyard to our garrisons. And I just don’t think I’m doing it right. I have to preface this by saying that I actually love having a shipyard as part of my garrison. It makes sense to have it.…

Brawling for gems and followers
This past weekend I spent some time in the Brawler’s Guild Arena in an attempt to get a new follower and a gem pattern. Meatball

Hellfire Citadel – go team, go!
So raiding has been going well. We’re currently 10/13 just on normals, but it’s been good fun. The people who need loot have been getting it, so we should be good to start heroics soon (potentially would be sooner if not for stupid State of Origin. Argh, sports!) This pic is from the Socrethar fight.…

OpenRaid Transmog contest
OpenRaid’s transmog contest has ended for another year and the winners have been announced. A video has been put together of the finalists in the Grand Prize, and the placing prize winners in each of the theme categories. You can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcYCOBcO7oI They’ve also done a storyboard showing all of the entries from…

Glyph of Ascendance
So I just learned about Glyph of Ascendance! I’m really excited about this. The Wowhead video above shows what they all look like. The only downside is that I already struggle with wanting too many other minor glyphs! But… this is super cool so I think Glyph of Ghostly Speed will go for awhile. Now,…

Cindelaera makes it to 100
Today my paladin dinged 100. So to celebrate I made her a lovely blue transmog. I actually really like this set. The blue in the pants is lovely. She’s still got her MoP legendary cloak because RNG-sus is not kind. But I don’t mind. I love those cloaks and am happy to keep it for…

Warlords of mosaic
My boyfriend did a thing, and I think it’s pretty amazeballs. This pic is a mosaic of world of warcraft selfies people have posted to twitter – each one only appears once and they’re all unedited. You might not be able to see it too well – there’s a much larger version here where you…

How to stop being crap?
Last night was raid night, and to be quite frank, it sucked. It sucked for me and because of me – not really anyone else. We did have a few issues with some key people being away, but there were people able to fill the roles and whilst it slowed things down a little, that’s…

Mythic Blackrock Foundry
I’ve been raiding with my new team for a couple of weeks now. We are currently 5/10 mythic, which I am incredibly happy with. Sunday last week we managed to get down Mythic Flamebender Ka’graz and Mythic Gruul on the same night, which was an awesome feeling. Wednesday just gone had a few people missing…

All the achieves
I’ve been spending some time getting a few more achievements under my belt. Earlier this week I finally collected the pets I needed to get the So.Many.Pets achievement and get myself a little Stormwing. He’s quite the cutie! This evening I grinded out the last of the Apexis dailies to get another fabulous monument for my…

About that flying thing
Let’s face it – this is all anyone is talking about right now. I’ve read quite a few posts/forums/tweets about the lack of flying in Draenor and the possibility that there won’t be flying in future expansions either, and to be quite honest I’m absolutely sick and tired of hearing about it. But what I’m…

Oh the trials
Last night I did a raid trial with the team Zeirah is currently trialling with. The evening was for progression on Mythic Hans’gar and Franzok. I am trialling as an elemental shaman, and boy did I feel out of my depth last night! Not only was I learning a new fight that I’d never seen…

Where are all the raiders?
This seems to be the mantra of mythic guilds everywhere – where are all the raiders? Where are the people who want to kick bosses in the face? Where are the people who want to hang out with a bunch of random weirdos for a laugh and a few jokes? Where are the people who…

Cinder gets the cindermane charger!! I’ve wanted this mount since the preview came out ages ago. When it didn’t appear in game I waited and I waited. Finally it shows up – as a recruit a friend mount. And my heart sank. I didn’t have any friends who wanted to play WoW, and I couldn’t justify…

Ironcinder’s challenge – 20-25
I played Ironcinder a little more today and got her to 25 (For those just tuning in, you can read about my stupid idea here.) 20-25 took me through the last of Darkshore and on to Ashenvale. It has been relatively smooth sailing, but I am taking things very slowly. Very slowly. I only play…

Deleted legendary ring post
So I deleted the 6.2 legendary ring post that I did yesterday. The Warcraft Devs twitter account had the following today about the ring procs that had been datamined: The Legendary ring procs that have been datamined from the 6.2 PTR are from an old design. A new design is planned for a future PTR…

Legendary Tarecgosa
Well, it took me 9 months of on and off farming, but I have finally finished the Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa’s Rest legendary quest line. During the countless Firelands runs I did, I managed to see Flametalon of Alysrazor drop twice, but never managed to get the Crown of Flame from Ragnaros, or a heroic chest piece for…
