GearScore - the new 'Achievement'

Remember this? “LFM Uld /w Achievement” Well now it’s been replaced with this: “LFM ICC10 /w GearScore” “LFM ICC25 5.2k gs only” “LFM weekly raid. /w gs and achievement” In some ways it is slightly fairer. When idiotic raid leaders wouldn’t let you join a raid because you didn’t have the Achievement I could only [...]

 
Five years of World of Warcraft - What have I learned?

Here we are then, five years down the line (or 15 years for Warcraft) since World of Warcraft was launched by Blizzard. And I’m STILL playing. Why? What is it about WoW that keeps me coming back? What have I learned? When I rolled my first character in 2004, a Night Elf Warrior whose name [...]

 

Getting this title has been an ambition for a while. Trying to do it the ‘traditional’ way always proved impossible. So why not just walk in, clear trash and then nuke Sartharion down, using only one tank, one healer and eight DPS? ZERG! It works, try it…

Loremaster of Kalimdor

I am Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms. I am Loremaster of Outlands. I am Loremaster of Northrend. Why then, am I over 100 quests short of Loremaster of Kalimdor?! Honestly, it’s a number that is just about daunting enough to make me not want to bother…but low enough to make me think I should and it [...]

Raiding

Let’s be quite clear. I love raiding. And perhaps not for the reason most people do – loot. No, I enjoy raiding for the complexities of getting 10 or 25 people who probably don’t know one another to work together to a common goal. To get certain individuals to do unique jobs while keeping an [...]

 

It’s the only one I just can’t get my head round properly. I don’t know why. It SHOULD be fun…but for some reason…it isn’t. Maybe it’s the torch juggling. I’m not good at it! Anyone got a guide they can link? I really want the achievements and the gear and all that. EDIT: Alright. I [...]

 

I know it’s been a while but I’m coming back with a little bit of a rant. Bear with me. This Argent Tournament lark…what’s the point? Mounted combat is utterly lame. The dailies are money earners of which we had many anyway. And what happens when the Colluseum is built? More mounted combat? No thank [...]

 

Seems unlikely I’ll bag this meta achievement as I’m away for a few days and very busy at the moment. That means I won’t be able to do a guide either…fortunately, someone beat me to it anyway. Here’s a very useful, very funny video giving you a rundown of how to make money out of [...]

 
World Event Guide: Noblegarden

Noblegarden a pretty awful World Event if I’m honest – but it DOES carry a very nice title and for that reason alone it’s worth doing (as well as the overall achievement for completing all World Events, of course). The title in question is “[character name] the Noble” – isn’t that great? What is nice about [...]

 
Heroic Dungeon Strategy: Utgarde Keep

If you enter Northrend via the Howling Fjord then your introduction to Wrath of the Lich King instancing is very likely to be Utgarde Keep, home of Ingvar the Plunderer and just two other bosses. So how to take em down on Heroic? Like this… Prince Keleseth The first boss you come to is the Prince and [...]

 
Tired of the Achievement grind? Fast track it!

Spotted this on Twitter from @WoWInsider: Basically, if you just can’t be bothered to chase down that last part required to get an Achievement done, or if you feel there’s a particular part of World of Warcraft that deserves an Achievement (personally I think getting to 450 in all professions and skills deserves one) then [...]

 

A word of advice – don’t try and do this in one day. UNLESS…you’re doing it right after a server restart.  It’s extremely time consuming and very annoying. After six hours I only have two books.

 
World Events & Achievements

So the Lunar Festival came to a close this month and we had the Love is in the Air event too. For all those who got the Elder title, congratulations. I couldn’t be bothered with all that running around and dungeon running so I missed out on that one. However, I DID get the “Love [...]
