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…

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…

Defiler’s End
This week, I got an achievement I did not expect to get. This week, I killed Mythic Archimonde. Because my new guild only had a few kills on Mythic Archimonde, I didn’t expect to be in there for a little while yet. They needed to keep in strong healers to help out any lower level/newer…

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…

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…

Are rolling WoW expansions contributing to player fatigue?
Blizzard have made it clear that their intentions moving forward with World of Warcraft are to tie expansions together (Check out mmo-champion’s recap of Gamereactor’s interview with the devs for more). This is why Garrosh lead us to Draenor for the Warlords of Draenor expansion, and why Gul’dan is taking us back to Azeroth, in order to…

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

First week of 6.2
Fury of Hellfire (otherwise known as 6.2) has been out for a week now, and reactions (from what I’ve seen on twitter and heard in podcasts) seems to be a bit mixed, though most people seem happy with it. Me personally, I freaking love it. But then I love most things about this game and…

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…

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…

It’s elemental!
I’m still doing my trial with the new raid team. This week seemed a bit rough – they had a few people missing, but thankfully were ok with pugging some people so we eventually got the 20 to do mythic. Then content that they normally get through quite quickly took longer than usual, so it…

Hatespark
Oh hello, Hatespark! Don’t we look pretty? I’ve wanted Hatespark the Tiny ever since I saw his little model come out. The drop rate to get him is sooooo low (0.03% chance, according to Wowhead, though I didn’t think it was quite that low!). I thought about buying him, but the cheapest price I found…

Healing Heroic Highmaul – The Butcher
The Butcher getting in to the Festive Spirit! I’m putting together some short healer-based posts for each of the bosses in the Highmaul raid tier. Hopefully they’ll be useful for some fellow healers (my focus is on restoration shaman as that is what I play). Let me know what you think! (Read the Kargath Bladefist…

Healing Heroic Highmaul – Kargath Bladefist
Kargath Bladefist (image from wowhead) I’m putting together some short healer-based posts for each of the bosses in the Highmaul raid tier. Hopefully they’ll be useful for some fellow healers (my focus is on restoration shaman as that is what I play). Let me know what you think! Kargath Bladefist Kargath Bladefist is the first…

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…

There are just not enough hours in the day! Posts will be coming soon. In the meantime, here’s a pretty screen shot!

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…

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.…

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…

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…

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…

Ranty ranty
wow-images: Bladespire/Karabor cut due to time constraints, not lore reasons according to bashiok. The people in this post are so darn rude. Look, I get people are disappointed that there won’t be new faction cities in WoD. It would be great if we had them! But the devs evaluated the situation and had to make…

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…

Beta beta beta!!!
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…
