Continuing my theme as of late - it’s summer and it’s time for chores and cookouts.  Plenty of both this weekend. 
Most of my play time was spent noodling around with my Warlock alt.  Level 17 without much effort.  Warlocks are fun…
I got an E-Mail I first thought was spam from someone giving me the “inside […]

The Master’s Key.  Attuned for Karazhan.  Finally!
This is one of the reasons I’ve been playing an alt the last week or so.  This, and the fact that I don’t have a ton of free time now that it’s full-scale summer.  After close to a month of asking, pleading, begging, and almost-pugging, I still couldn’t get […]

The good folks over at Wowhead have added sections for The Black Temple and Mount Hyjal.  My reaction?  “I need to pirate that overview onto my blog and make it look like I’m on top of all this stuff”. 
Attunement for The Black Temple:

Complete the Tablets of Baa’ri (Aldor / Scryers) quest line which is […]

How did we ever live with quest logs that maxed out at 20 quests?  Now that it’s 25 I still have problems keeping it cleared out.  Could it be all the quests (particularly group quests) I’ve picked up along the way and never completed?
Well, I was quite pleased last night when someone in group chat […]

Not a lot to report lately - I’ve been very busy with RL stuff around the house and at work.  Didn’t do much over the weekend, but did tank a very successful run of Steamvaults last night - my first run through the instance and compliments all around on the job I did.  /Cheer Amanna!  […]

Patches come out, new factions arise, and new areas offer untold rewards.  This has been no different with 2.1.
The problem for a casual gamer like myself is knowing how to prioritize your time.  With only so much time to play, I never feel like I can just spend a couple days playing around in a […]

Amanna had a nice long holiday weekend, taking Thursday afternoon and all day Friday off from work.  Lots of progress was made that was long overdue, including: getting the deck furniture washed and put out, weeding and edging some flower beds, mowing the lawn,
Oh wait - that’s not the progress you’re interested in, is it?
Well, […]

So I’m sitting at home waiting on two different service calls on the house, so I thought I’d check out my stats post-patch.  I don’t have all the gear I want, and a couple of my pieces are missing some gems, but with the gear upgrades, particularly to the Celfthoof pieces, I was interested to […]

MMO Champion, a site I haven’t really visited much, has a self-proclaimed Super-big-summary of changes in the coming patch.  I like this summary because it focuses on stuff that matters, like new factions/rewards, armor set, and major changes.  Great job of summarizing what’s changed - just don’t expect them to tell you what changed.  Click […]

WoWHead.com had 2.1 patch changes integrated into their item stats already.  I just happened to notice the other day when I was poking around.  Assuming they were correct (which could be a big assumption), I headed over to Leather Armor (second floor, next to the whips), to check out the much-discussed changes to the Strength […]

I got to go on my first Shattered Halls run last night.  I was excited to go - I’d heard it was a good instance and I had a couple quests for completion inside.  It was also predominantly a guild run, so I was among friends.  I was a little nervous though, as I had […]

Thank you to Liraele for pointing out that the link to the healing gear list I posted was all mail armor.  (What?!?  You guys haven’t found the mail armor trainer for Druids in Cenarion Expedition?  My little secret, then…)  A special thanks to Liraele for “nicely” pointing out it was all mail.
Amanna has a lot […]

I was getting ready to start writing a 4 part feral talent build for PvE.  In the midst of poking around on wowhead looking at more info for my “Enchants by Slot” series, I noticed there are enchantements for Rings.  Okay, call me a n00b, but I never realized this.  Intriqued, I shelved the talent […]

I was looking up some stuff today and noticed that wowhead has Tier 6 stats up.  Check it out.
Lazy?  Here’s just the Druid sets.  Amanna is here to help…

Here is the first post in a new series on enchantments to help increase your effectiveness in the game, end-game instancing and raiding in particular.  I’m breaking these posts up by gear slot for a number of reasons.  The primary two reasons are those long posts I wrote summarizing bear and cat gear were 1) […]

Finally…
In a previous post, I laid out my guidelines for this series of three posts: gear that approaches Tier 4 and 5, but without the effort.  The information in these posts is gleaned from a list of BC Feral Gear put together by a European druid player named Emmerald.  While I’m sure we all dream […]

I have a little routine I go through every night before I actually start playing.  Before logging into Amanna, I log on to my auction house alt, who is parked at the mailbox outside the bank at Stormwind.
The first thing I do is check my mail for the results of the auctions I posted the […]

I’m still working on the cat list, but I have made a couple changes to the bear gear list:

Updated the cloak slot based on commented feedback.  A great item I missed (number 1 on the list).
Minor update to which yellow gem to pick.

No, I’m not going to detail the changes here.  I’m going to make […]

So, if you’ve seen my post of Friday night, not only did I decide to keep skinning, I also dropped herbalism and picked up mining.  Hehe - it’s actually kind of fun to have to level two professions back up again.  It gives me a little side project.  The only downside to levelling gathering professions […]

I went on a run through The Shadow Labyrinth, or Shadow Labs, last night.  I had just got on and was looking for something to do.  A guild member was looking for dps help and I was looking to get my kitty some combat experience, so it was a fit.  The group came together pretty […]
