Midsummer Festival

Juggz — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 07:35:20 +0000

It took the enite week of the Midsummer Festival But a select group of Cryptic members were able to finally take down the Frost Lord Ahune. It took us awhile to nail down the perfect group and perfect strategy but we nailed it. We actually continued to fight him and down him 2 more times after that just to see if we would get any more loot. To bad we wont get another shot at him.

What dropped?

Shroud of Winter Chill

Huge Snowball

The Frost Lord’s War Cloak

Where and Why?

Where have I been and Why have I been gone?

Well TBH I havent been anywhere except playing wow, I was not posting simply because we had some Guild events that required my attention. Being a mid level guild where all we run is Heroics and 10 man instances people tend to want to move on at times. Cryptic had hit one of those times and numerous members decided it was time to move onto t5 and T6 content. I understood completely and set out to rebuild Cryptic from the ground up. The biggest problem was replacing tanks and healers.

I had already respecced Jugzwei to Holy but was not really enjoying it as much as I should have. Now Jugz is shadow again. :) I am also the new MT for Cryptic as Darrken was finally leveled to 70. I was able to level with Koara/Nyxie/Lisa

Heres to new ground with Cryptic and New members to gear up!

Seeing the light…..

Yes i Have seen the light. Not by choice though. Out guild healer left so I had to switch over to holy. The respec wasn’t a difficult thing to do, but having to save the time of looking for healing gear, I respecced my tailoring as well to Primal Mooncloth and set out on my journey to epic out my heals set. i am still not completely used to healing full time, but I think in time I’ll come to accept my new position.

Plues it’ll be easier to with my neat new mount…..

Site of the Week: kaspersky

Juggz — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:31:18 +0000

What does kaspersky have to do with WoW you ask? The plain and simple truth is that these days Keyloggers have become an every day activity on the WoW forums. You get what looks like a legitimate link to “something cool” and being the curious person you are you click on it. Nothing happens but after a few days you go to log onto WoW to notice yu have been /gkicked or demoted and you standing in the middle of Shattrah City naked and with an empty bank and wallet. Your account has been hacked and they have taken you for all you have! The GM’s appear sympathetic(they are really laughing at you) and they offer to escalate the problem and hopefully get some of your gear back.

The unfortunate thing about this, I know people who has had this happen and many times they can not or will not get all of your stuff back. I ave even heard of people who get banned until the problem is resolved. The easiest way around this is to regularly run an anti-virus/spyware sweep of your computer on a regular basis. For doing so kaspersky is on of the favs, but there are a lot of options out there, feel free to look around.

After almost 2 weeks of constant dailies Jugzwei finally hit Exalted with the Shattered Sun Offensive. It was a long 2 weeks but very well worth it. The first thing I picked up was the SSO tabard to get rid of the God awful pink Tabard my guild insists on keeping. I also picked up Shattered Sun Pendant of Acumen and Recipe: Sorcerer’s Alchemist Stone Now to grin dfor the mats for it. They are ridiculous.

Check out the Tabard. Best in game IMO!

Its Mine!

I have actually had the Epic Flying Mount for a few days now. I’m just now getting around to updating because the game became so much more enjoyable once I had it. It took about a week of constant dailies and selling every thing that dropped to get it but the Epic flying mount is MINE!

Now on to the Netherwing Dailies!

Site of the Week: WoW UI Screens

Juggz — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:50:44 +0000

Just about every forum associated with WoW has that POST YOUR UI thread. Admit it you love looking at them. You love comparing them to yours and you love the ideas you get sometimes. I have build just about every UI i have had around someone else’s because I’m just not that original or creative. This weeks Site of the week is my best friend, it is a site where everyone is welcome to post there UI to show it off to the world. WoW UI Screens allows you to break down UI’s by class or view them all. Users can leave comments on other UI’s and when you post your UI there is a place for you to describe it and list what add-ons you are using, which isn’t used much leading to the other post on just about every WoW forum, “which add-on is this?”

Black Temple Pwnd Me

Juggz — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:04:12 +0000

With the Attunement lifted for Mt. Hyjal and Black Temple I decided to go take a peak inside and see what all the fuss is about. A few guildies and I decided to form a raid group and take a quick sneak peak. We saw 2 mobs by themselves and decided, “Hey we’re here lets see what they got”. Bad Idea!

Almost there

Grinding for the Epic Flyer

Juggz — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 06:56:05 +0000

As I stated a few weeks ago, it is time for me to get off my lazy streak and start grinding for my epic flying mount. A few days ago I finally dedicated to saving all my gold and selling everything I could to get the money as soon as possible. With the release of patch 2.4 and the new Shattered Sun Offensive dailies this has proven to be much easier. The Training will cost me 5000 gold and an additional 200 gold for the mount itself. Which even with the new dailies I think this is a ridiculous price. It always has been and always will be. That much requires a ton of questing and grinding and leaves the majority of people daunted by how much work it takes. I find myself with an excess of time though so I figured it was time.

As you can tell by the pic above I am getting closer and this is the most gold I have ever had. I find myself excited to be finally progressing to my goal, but it still feels so daunting.
