As a guild we got our first 25-man Sapphiron and Kel’thuzad kill last night. Our instance servers are still ridiculously laggy but that didn’t stop some DPS-trouncing on our part for Sapphiron. The WWS haven’t been uploaded yet or I would provide a link as always.
We then went and made attempts on 25-man Malygos and at the end of the raid were getting good transitions into phase 3. That boss kill will have to wait till next week though.
And if you didn’t guess, I then joined the new flavor-of-the-month club and headed to eliminate some Alliance leaders. It was an enjoyable trip. I haven’t been to Elywnn Forest in a long time now. Getting everyone from Darnassus to Stormwind was entertaining though. Apparently a lot of folks were unaware of the new dock inside of Stormwind and that we could have just taken a boat right into the city. Ah well. It all worked out in the end.
But yeah, check out that picture. I will *eat* you. Unless of course your a Death Knight. Warrior. Umm, Ret Paladin. Most Mages. Some Elemental Shaman. If you’re one of those I will use this bear to run away!
BUT! Anyone else, yeah, watch out. You know what happens when the bear calvary shows up right? If you don’t know, click here.
One of the other achievements I am aiming for is Twenty-five Tabards. Why you might ask? After all, if you have 25 tabards already, why would you want another one? Because the Tabard of the Achiever is the hawtest tabard ever. In my opinion of course. Seriously, click over to Wowhead and check it out. It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine. *cue Wayne-style camera close-up*
It’s quite a bit of work to get some of these tabards though. I went to solo Sethekk Halls to try and finish my ridiculously close Lower City rep for their tabard. But apparently the higher level you are, the less reputation mobs give you. Each mob either gave 1 or 2 reputation and bosses only gave 18.
As you can see, my collection is well underway. I have 17 of the 25 that I need (16 in the picture since I am wearing one). I figure finishing Lower City and Consortium is two more tabards. Three, when I go finish the Battle for Crimson Watch in Shadowmoon Valley, which I never did. I could farm for the Scarlet Crusade tabard for a fourth. I could buy the 2 generic PvP tabards with some marks. Perhaps redeem some of trading card points for 1 more. Then . . . maybe the Arathi basin tabard for 60 marks. Hmm. One way or another . . .
Well, I don’ want to ramble too much in a single post. Have a great weekend everyone. Any thoughts, comments, or additions to make, post a comment below! One week or so till the blog’s one year anniversary. Woo. :)
Don't forget about Tabard of the Explorer. Might take a little time but otherwise requires no real effort.
Hmm, good point. Might need to take an evening and do that.
Here's one you'll appreciate Dro. My guild finally stepped into Naxx last night for our first 10 man (we have slow levelers, what can I say?). We went through the first trash pulls with a modicum of difficulty and get too Anub. My first thoughts? "Something doesn't look right here….". Two seconds later (One after we engaged unfortunately) I remembered reading your post about 10 man Naxx from a while back and saw 1 line clearly in my head "Wait, what? 10-man Anub’rekan doesn’t start with adds. Only the 25-man does". Uh oh…. Anyway, not long after the add tank asploded and the rest of us were soon to follow. Hilarity ensued and I had a good story to tell some friends in another guild. Anyway, thought you'd appreciate that.
Haha, that's awesome. :) It's a little re-assuring to know we aren't the only person that did that.
Have you encountered any problems with your pet at Malygos Drotara?
I have the problem that my pet gets immobilized in the middle of the platform in Phase 1 without me even able to dimiss him once the first ‘cyclone’ has occured. As FD doesnt work in phase 1 at all I cant get the pet to reset that way either.
In phase 2 he all the sudden pops up at my side again like nothing happened and everything works as normal again.
I had to go MM to be able to validate my raidspot so far, which I dont mind ofc as I enjoy all the tree’s but it would be even better if I knew what causes this and how I can sort it out.
Anyone got any ideas?
I have Shanx. What I do is just spam my follow button a few times after the vortex and he reappears at my side and I send him back in.
I did something new in the game reentcly and began to level a toon on another server a PVE server. I’m not sure why really. My good friend created a character there and so I thought I would mix things up and join with her in another realm as I feeling a tad blah and thought the change would do me good. To be honest it has been refreshing. Starting a toon from scratch with no gold, no horde and meeting new people. Its been a positive experience thus far. I’ve had periods where I took short breaks from the game as well. Its impossible to keep up the rush you often get from the game, so I think changing it up or taking a break is a good way to see the game freshly.Cathy last blogged about .
