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!  […]

I just saw this on BRK’s blog.  The Armory talent build research I wrote about recently is hitting the big time.  Someone has taken that idea and is getting serious about it.  In the blog’s own words:
“I’ll be talking about World of Warcraft character builds (initially talents, then getting into gear builds as well) and applying statistical information […]

If you’ve read this blog at all, you know I’m into research.  What I really like in a research site is lots of relevant information for the topic at hand, densely packed, with lots of tools to quickly find and filter what I’m looking for.  I also like sites that cross-reference with relevant information; like […]

Okay, time for the blog & resource update I think.  Not as many as I thought, but then Amanna is all about quality over quantity.
A couple new friends
I’m adding two new Druid blogs to the list.  One is Isthla, who comments often on this site with the name Rebecca.  Her blog is http://www.isthla.blogspot.com.  The second […]

Thank you all for not telling me how stupid I am.  It does appear that the different sets are available via armor set page I posted yesterday.  I didn’t notice the dropdown called “Subset” right below the Armor Set dropdown.  This lets you select the particular version of the armor set you want to see. 
However, […]

Hey, how come no one told me about this?
The official high level armor set page has been updated with the Tier 4 and Tier 5 armor sets.  It’s an interactive page, so I can’t link you directly to the Druid sets.  Of course, the default on display is a Blood Elf.  Hey - nothing wrong […]

I’ve come across quite a few new blogs and resources out there lately.  Some mentioned in other blogs, some I’ve just come across.  I’m going to be summarizing them very soon and updating my site.  If you have any favorites you’d like me to consider, comment this post.
Druid blogs, Hunter blogs and online research sites […]

I logged out last night (at 1am) with my healer outfit on.  I was interested to see what The Armory would display for my gear when I checked it today.  Would it be my healing gear, confirming my suspicions that whatever you logged out with last would be displayed, or would it be my main […]

The Armory is up and running on the Blizzard website.  The Armory is Blizzard’s online character and guild profiler application.  It’s in “beta”, but is worth checking out.
From what I’ve been reading on various blogs, the application is generally be received well.  There are various comments that it’s slow, but then again it is in […]

Blizzard has new pages up with the armor and weapon rewards you can buy with honor tokens from your arena battles.  I’ve added the links under the Online Resources category to the right.
I’m not really a PvP kinda guy and arena combat didn’t really interest me.  Taking a look at some of the rewards, I […]

Okay, call me a n00b - you guys probably already know about this site…
Tobold recently posted a quick article linking to the Crafter’s Tome.  They have a page listing all the new crafting recipes from Burning Crusade in one place.  Kind of nice if you’re wanting to take a quick look at what’s new and […]

In case you didn’t see the new post on the main World of Warcraft website, Blizzard has posted/updated several pages detailing honor system rewards that are available.  The links are:
Weapon Rewards, Armor Rewards (Lvl 70 Rare), Armor Rewards (Lvl 70 Epic), General Rewards
There is also a FAQ on the PvP system. 
I’m not particularly into PvP, but […]

I’m happy to say that the Wowhead folks responded to my bug report already.  That was pretty quick and tells me there’s good support for the site.  Here’s what they said on the profession filtering “bug”:
“The ‘Requires a profession specialization’ is used to find items with a profession specialization such as Master Swordsmith, Goblin Engineering, Elemental Leatherworking. 
For instance if you choose: Requires a profession specialization: Blacksmith, it will returns all items that requires either Master […]
