I’ve consolidated a couple pages I had laid out when I moved the blog.  I just found I had too many pages with too many placeholders.  You know, that “I can’t publish it until it’s perfect and contains the sum total knowledge of the universe”.  Err, or something like that.
Anyway, you should now see a […]

I saw this mentioned over on BBB a couple days ago and fought the urge to write about it immediately.  I wanted to give it a test drive and give you my thoughts along with the link.
The site is Be Imba!  It’s a character audit for level 70 toons.  As reported by Big Bear and […]

Long story short - Phaelia over at Resto4life has tracked down yet another batch of Druid blogs.  Check out her post describing what they’re all about.  I’m adding them to my blogroll today or tomorrow.

As reported by Of Teeth and Claws recently, Emmerald’s oft-quoted ranked list of feral druid gear has been updated for patch 2.3 gear.
Of Teeth and Claws, along with Big Bear Butt Blogger, have become my two favorite blogs as of late.  Both have a great mix of technical analysis, insightful comments and a dash of […]

Okay - got one last response from Cerberus on saving a buffed character and it all came together.  In case you’re having issues too, here’s what you do:

Go to the main warcrafter page and search for your toon.

Go into Sandbox mode.

Click the Save Character button.  This will generate and redirect you to a new page […]

I checked the forums this morning and had the following reply from Cerberus:
“Amanna: thanks for stopping by :p. I loaded your profile and checked the buffs you mentioned (also saving your character for the first time will clear any buffs currently checked) and the mentioned new was working for me: either http://www.warcrafter.net/sandbox/10602?b=0i1M1R or http://eldrethalas-us.warcrafter.net/amanna?b=0i1M1R .

Hopefully by now you’ve played around with Warcrafter.  It looks like my links got a lot of clicking!  That, along with BRK’s original article and the WoW Insider article - I’m guessing most of you have checked it out.  I was just poking around in it briefly this morning, and saw they had a shout-out […]

You guys may have seen this before, but until BRK mentioned it, I hadn’t heard about this.  The site is Warcrafter, and it is very cool.
Think The Armory (only very fast) + WoWhead’s talent calculator + CT Profiles.
Yea - it’s that cool.
I checked out this forum post for a little background.  Looks like the site […]

<===  Opening
Let me just say right at the beginning of this post that I have no hard opinions on the topics of gold buying and account selling.  I’m sure everyone took the time to carefully read their End User License Agreement (commonly referred to as a EULA) and consulted with their personal lawyer as to […]

Previously, I’ve written a couple posts on the various enchantments you should be considering for particular gear slots.  I intended this to be a series and starting with rings and head gear.
Well, this series has long been obsolete and I’ve just been tardy getting this post up.  In doing my research, I eventually came across […]

I’ve updated Amanna’s Gem Research Center with filter for Heroic Instances and Raids.  Yea, you’ll probably never be looking to see what gems drop in a particular instance or raid, but if you ever want to, I’m here for you.

Reader Pam commented that she used my AmpWOW link and got a trojan on her PC.  I just hit the link, cruised around the site, then ran a system scan and didn’t have any.  So, I’m not sure if it’s a security issue or I just didn’t hit the area she did, but either way […]

For those of you that just can’t get enough analysis of your equipment, the Druid Wiki has yet another option: RAWR.  Now who doesn’t want to download this thing with a name like that?  Before I start, here’s the overview right from the wiki:

“Rawr is the ultimate program to compare tanking stats on items. With […]

…just taking a little break.  Here’s a couple interesting links to keep you going until I make my way back.
 WoW Insider Druid column Shifting Perspectives, with an overview of easy to obtain Moonkin gear.  They also mention they previously posted a column on easy to obtain feral gear.  Umm - hasn’t that already been done […]

I added a couple additional links to my Gem Research Center.  They are some websites with different ways to filter and research gems.  One gives you the ability to find jewelcrafters on your server and what gems they can cut.
But Amanna - why advertise the ”competition”?  Hey, it’s not a contest, just trying to get the […]

Hey, do you guys read or subscribe to WoW Insider?  I do, although since I check it at work there’s a lot of fluff I delete through.  Don’t get me wrong - they do a great job with lots of content to appeal to the varied readership I’m sure they have.  I just tend to be […]

Me too.  I tried logging on after work real quick and my AVG anti-virus said it had a trojan.  A quick check on the technical support forum had a post towards the top.  There’s a link in the post for downloading a new copy of the file.  AVG will still say there is a problem, […]

After much anticipation, fanfare, and yes, a fair share of back office political deal-making, Amanna’s Gem Research Center is now open for business.  This announcement culminates years of effort, and is made possible only by the tireless devotion of countless gifted individuals.
<clears throat>  Okay, maybe I overplayed that a bit, but I am proud to […]

I was able to finish up a piece of my mini-site for enhancements research, so I figured I’d publish it before my week-long break and get some feedback.
You should see a new page listed at the top of the blog now - Buffing Up.  Click the link to get an overview of what I’m trying […]

I plan on continuing my Enchantments by Slot series, but I just found this superb summary of enchantments by slot on WowWiki.  I like it so much I’m adding it to my list of Online Resources.
