The latest Mists of Pandaria beta build has revealed over a hundred new achievements, including about sixty (yes, 60!) related to pet battles. If you like your points, I hope you like your pets. There's also mention of a platinum level for challenge
So I’m working on a WoW Newsletter for one of my favorite clients, this one is a monthly repeat project. March’s newsletter has a nice feature on Battlegrounds in it, which means that I need some Battleground screenshots. Which means I’m
and really it is the easy way (accepting the alternative is just praying that it happens), but that doesn’t make it easy. In a sense the hardest part is getting 14 other people to start the game with the same mindset… Aim to lose –
Every Thursday, The Overachiever shows you how to work toward those sweet achievement points. This week, the phrase "low-hanging fruit" comes to mind. While I collect suggestions for our next article on evil achievements, I thought it might
I spent years achieving the achievement and all I got was this lousy title… Finally, finally, with a lot of help from my friends and awesome support from the PuGs, I got Resilient Victory, the last achievement I needed for Master of Arathi Basin,
Every Thursday, The Overachiever shows you how to work toward those sweet achievement points. This week, the abyss stares back. Almost two years ago, I wrote a series of articles for OverAchiever that turned out to be one of the most popular themes
And the first one to say it, will learn new uses for those lunar lanterns that are so popular here in Moonglade. Brief note: the Elder in Thunder Bluff is nowhere near where WoWHead says he is. Look at the map. You’ll suss it. This post
I decided the other day that I want Somnambulist, the Troll Druid, to get the Cenarion title. I mean, of course, am I right? And then it occurred to me that Annasteezia still has no title. She should be Ambassador, don’t you think? I do. Of course,
Every Thursday, The Overachiever shows you how to work toward those sweet achievement points. This week, some holidays are easier to survive than others. I've been getting a lot of comments and feedback from players recently over troublesome
So with everyone else frantically trying to gather up all the transmog gear they can get their hands on, I’m leaning the other way. Instead, I’m looking for items I can equip on a level 5 Blood Elf Warlock. She’s my bank toon, and I
Since the launch of patch 4.3, transmogrification has been big business for players on the Auction House. But it's a hard market to get a logical handle on, like building an empire on selling classic oil paintings or finely aged wines. How do
Every Thursday, The Overachiever shows you how to work toward those sweet achievement points. This week, we burn through a lot of shoe leather. The Lunar Festival is one of WoW's more fun and forgiving holidays, and this year it runs from
So, the feast of Winter’s Veil is upon us! It’s a time for merriment, of reduced raiding schedules, and relaxation! Sorry I’ve been somewhat absent from the blog lately. I had some unexpected deadlines come up related to my finishing
Let me start by saying that for all the Alliance hate I’ve accumulated over the years, the Worgen starting zone was awesome. Yes, there were plenty of inane quests, so much so that if I weren’t an avid quest-text reader I would’ve been
The highly anticipated patch 4.0.6 dropped this week bringing significant changes that alter the dominant spec in PvE and PvP. Once again, Marksmanship is top dog. Oh how the winds of change come quickly. Let’s first talk about the shiny new tricks
And to think, I almost forgot the site’s birthday this month. A couple weeks ago to be precise. ” ‘Day’ is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It’s not applicable… I didn’t get you anything.”
We are approaching the first week of Cataclysm and I am sure madness has ensued for everyone. As for me, I haven’t even logged on to a second character yet as I have been leveling as quick as I can after I get home from work. As of right now I have
From Screens 2010 I did not play much over the summer but I started again sometime in September. I have transferred another 2 characters to Kil’jaeden and I have started playing my little rogue named “Greenmamba” who is fully
I know I know. Terrible pun in the title, but I couldn’t help myself. And if you’ve been reading or following me on Twitter, you can guess what the reference is to. My wife and I had our first child last Saturday. He came into the world 21.5
There's a lot of different aspects of World of Warcraft. If you break it down, it really is made up of a ton of different mini games. There's a mini-game where you go and kill 15 rabbits; another one where you have to collect poop (okay...
I'm sure most of the raiding community that reads this post will roll their eyes; but nonetheless, it's an accomplishment for me. I FINALLY broke 3k gear score on wow-heroes on my resto Shaman. Now a lot of the delay has been from my laziness
While grinding for the FrostSaber Mount, I got tired of doing the same old thing over and over again. So another thing on my list of to-dos was to receive the World Explorer Achievement. I know that when Cataclysm is released that many of the old world
The Midsummer Fire Festival is here and Wowhead have a nice guide up. It looks mostly the same as last year and as I did it all on Kam for the meta-meta achievement, I shall not be bothering this year.But wait, what is this? Lord Ahune has been updated
Subtitle: Why Horde and Alliance have to Work Together.I vaguely remember the last couple of years that people complained about a certain achievement during Children's Week. There's probably a few reasons why this achievement is so horrible.First,
So according to Bornakk...Dammit, why do you change this after I could have gotten the 10 man achievement??!Damn it.Going to have to wait till next reset for the 10 man one.And yes, I know my recent posts are short and sweet but I'll have a long
I was again lamenting last night at the fact that while I was keeping everyone alive in a random heroic, I wasn't getting any Lovely Charms as everyone else was. I even tried to get in the killing blows with a last-second shock spell to increase
Recently, I've almost 100% given myself over to the resto Shaman in Zanderfin. I have a decent Enhancement set that I've been building as nobody else wanted the item. But then arena season 8 hit, and one of my guildies had the idea to start
Been so obsessed with Armory and WoW-heroes recently =XHere's a screenshot of mineIt's so addicting with the new activity feed! Satisfying my stalker urges.You have people you like to keep tabs on?
Now that we’ve seen the changes in action, I can give a brief summary of our observations raiding this week on how it all panned out. For the guilds out there trying to min/max and stay at the forefront, keeping on top of changes is very important.
As usual, there’s undocumented changes in this patch. Most undocumented changes get dug up elsewhere, but raid changes tend to not be found until the patch actually goes live because no one is testing raid content on the PTR unless it’s a
