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, […]

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 […]

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, […]

Netherwind drakes!
Finished the Netherwing rep grind the other day and got my drakes! This little guy is my favourite of the 6.

Higher Learning
My gorgeous new Kirin Tor Familiar from completing the Higher Learning achievement in Dalaran. Took me about a month to get in the end, but well worth it.

Meet Cinderstorm
*I WILL KILL YOU!!!!**just kidding, guys* 🙂 Meet my Shaman, Cinderstorm. [my first gif! Thanks to JULIETA-RAVENCREST for the inspiration. More to come soon]

Thanks Onyxia
Thanks, Onyxia! I was up a bit early this morning so ran Onyxia’s lair before starting work, and this beauty dropped for me. Super lucky, indeed!

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- through the dark portal
Emerging from the dark portal (shame none of my transmog works in beta!)

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 […]

Loremaster is DONE
Loremaster I finally finished Loremaster! Here are some of my favourite moments from this incredibly long (but wonderfully fun!) journey.

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 […]

The other night I did the quest that lets you hear Lady Sylvanas’ song. You can listen to it in the video I grabbed from YouTube below. It’s a beautiful piece.

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 […]

Decisions made
I’ve been blogging a lot lately, I know. I blame the 20 days of blogging for opening that gate! (though I’m not even a little bit sorry for it). I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about WoW and what I want to get out of it. When my raid team fell apart and everyone […]

Lag lag laaaaaaaggg
What the hell is wrong with Blizzard’s servers? There have been issues for the last month with logging in and stuff. And this lag, holy hell. Last night I was trying to do proving grounds on my mage and it was impossible. I would blink to move away from an Amber Globule thing, and I […]

20 days of blogging – Day 1
So I’ve started this, probably 3 times now? And for whatever reason I never actually get around to posting anything. Zeirah has been doing this (which is where I stole borrowed the idea) and I thought it would be good way to write more. Here’s the topics for the 20 days: Day 01 – Introduce yourselfDay […]

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 […]

Holy paladin silhouettes
So I came across this great post the other day that showed an awesome spot to take some silhouette screenshots. I decided to give it a go today on my pally. It was a lot of fun! And I think my pally looks awesome 🙂 Because she’s holy, most of her spells are beautifully golden. […]

Kun-lai visits
Today I came across an amazing guide to In-Game Memorials in WoW on WoWHead. As the title suggests, it goes through all of the memorial sites in game that are dedicated to others. Some of them I have seen before (I still remember the quest line for Brad Bridenbecker). One of them I came across that […]

Darkmoon Faire concerts
Darkmoon Fair concert For the longest time I couldn’t figure out why there was a stage at the Darkmoon Fair. There would be people yelling out to come see some big spectacle that was going to happen, but then there wasn’t anything and I’d get bored and leave. One day a few months back I […]
-
Hidden in the Vale
Random finds Z posted about finding a place in the Valley that she hadn’t seen before, which reminded me of this place I found a little while ago. I think it’s probably where Alani is summoned for the mount? Not sure. Anyway I remember being so surprised seeing it – it was tucked away behind […]

My first legendary
My very first legendary [spoilers for those who haven’t done this yet and want a surprise – don’t look at the pics!] Last night I got my very first legendary item in World of Warcraft. It’s been a long time coming – 6 months for my pally here. I’m really stoked. When I knew this […]
-
Flames of the Phoenix
Flames of the Phoenix is born! I mentioned in a previous entry that a few things had happened in my guild. Well they did. The short version is that I left the guild I was an officer of and moved all of my characters to a new server. It was not a great departure, but […]

Haunted Sunsong Ranch
My ranch is haunted!! My shammy got exalted with the tillers yesterday and best friends with Tina Mudclaw – so now Sunsong Ranch is mine! (I love being bound there – just sitting in the door frame looking at that beautiful view is so peaceful!) However, I noticed a strange thing yesterday morning – there […]
-
Cindecay
Cindecay So the lovely Z posted about Alt Appreciation week that she saw on World of Lae’s blog. I thought it was an awesome idea so here I am! Week 1 is Death Knight. My DK actually has a bit of history. I made her back in Cata, before I ever started raiding. At the time […]

I quit raiding
This weekend I quit my core raiding team. I’m pretty devastated. I really love raiding and I enjoy the team I raid with. However, raiding times were Saturday and Sunday, 11am – 4pm, essentially wiping out the entire weekend. It’s been a struggle. I work a Monday-Friday 9-5 job, and I work damn hard. So […]

Mountain O Mounts
Finally got my Mountain O Mounts achieve. Sure I had to buy a mount to get it, but look how awesome that mount matches my mage’s transmog! #bitaddicted

Girls talking about WoW
I have a bit of a gripe. Ok, a whinge, a whine, whatever. For those who follow me and may not know, I’m a girl. A girl who plays World of Warcraft. A LOT. I raid in two teams, one of which I am raid leader of (the one I post about on here most). […]
-
Lei Shen
WE DID IT!! Tonight my little team got Lei Shen down and got the “Ahead of the Curve” achievement. It’s all I wanted for them – for us to all have that achievement that says we worked hard this tier and saw all of the fights. It’s not heroics or anything, but I don’t care. […]
-
Iron Qon
Soo…. we downed another 2 bosses tonight. Iron Qon took us a little bit, but only because our dps was a little low so if we lost one person we’d hit beserk. When we did get the kill we had already hit berserk and our DK tank was last man standing with like 0.5% health when he […]
-
Dark Animus + Primordius
And another two bite the dust. I missed updating about Primordius last week as I was heading off for holidays, but we got him down after only 2 attempts. And then tonight, Dark Animus went down. It was past raid ending time but we wanted to give it one last shot. And we got him! […]
-
Birthday Yak
I got a yak, hey hey hey hey! So my boyfriend wanted to make sure that I had something for my birthday, despite buying me safari tickets (!!!!!!!) So he bought me the most expensive mount in WoW – the Grand Expedition Yak, This thing is gloriously obscene. I LOVE IT! It has a little […]
-
Durumu
Durumu is down! So proud of these guys. It was the third week we’d been able to have a crack at getting this guy down. Each attempt we got a little closer, and the mistakes were fewer. We had one kill that got down to 6%, and another to 3% which were just devastating. But we persevered and […]
-
My UI
My UI Zeirah did a great post recently about her UI (User Interface) so thought I’d share mine. My UI is pretty much the same for all of my toons no matter what spec – only difference being that my healers have Grid in the middle. I don’t think many people use it, but I really […]
-
Snowfury
Snowfury dinged 40 tonight, and I just had to share her latest mount. It’s a horse on FIRE with freaking HORNS sticking out of it!!! (my bf is calling it a flaming multicorn 😀 ) Like seriously, if you saw that coming for you you’d pee your pants. Love it 🙂
-
Ji-kun
And Ji-Kun down, too! Quite a successful weekend. Love that we all had feathers for the photo 🙂 Except Shogun who’s napping from all the hard work hehe

Here’s an announcement
I have made a decision. It’s pretty important to me, which is why I’m announcing it on here. So given most of the people who follow me don’t know me, you should know some things about me. Writing was always my first love. I would write all the time – I started my first journal […]
-
We killed the heroic chicken!!!
We killed the heroic chicken!!! It was pretty amazing. We spent probably 3- 31/2 hours getting him down (just over an hour Saturday and 2 and a bit today). The shot up the top shows what condition we were in when he died. Despite my almost 0 health in that shot and the incoming cheep […]
-
Snowfury II
I’ve been slowly levelling my lock in my spare timee. It’s funny, I’m still not overly fond of playing a lock, but I have a bit of a soft spot for her. I think because I think she’s pretty. I’ve always liked the way the female blood elves look. So very much the opposite of […]
-
Tortos
So these are my guys! And this was our Tortos kill from last week. We had actually gotten him down the week before but I hadn’t thought to take a screen shot until last week. So proud of my team 🙂 And so much fun! *edit: I should say – that’s me in the middle […]
-
Snowfury
Some silly things have been happening in my guild and raid team at the moment that have been making me pretty angry. So to run away from those problems, and because I was inspired by Zeirah’s wonderful WoW posts, I decided to make myself a Horde character. To be honest, Horde characters don’t appeal to […]
