I logged into my account this morning and cancelled my subscription.  Surprising how easy it was to write a farewell blog post, but how long I postponed actually cancelling my subscription.  There’s just something final about taking that last step. 
 Anyway - I really don’t see myself returning.  Even if I do I simply don’t have […]

It’s been quite a while since you’ve heard from me, and Softi recently gave me a poke to see if I was still alive.  Rest assured I am still alive and kicking, but have been avoiding writing this blog post. 
As you can surmise from the title, I have decided to move on; not just from […]

As I’m sure you know, the previous post was an April Fool’s post.   So if I know, why am I saying it?  Well, you just never can be too sure these days.  I’d hate to think any reader of AnA couldn’t figure that one out, but we do get a few hunters slipping in every […]

Who would have thought it possible?
A little farm kid from the Midwest, grows up playing computer games and strikes it rich writing a blog, of all things!!!
Turns out The Donald is a huge WoW player.  Druid all the way.  He likes the power and how he can be three “different” characters on one toon.  Not […]

Hey, it happens.  All of a sudden you’re without a guild. 
I’ve been playing this game close to two years and I’m on my third guild.  No drama, no guild meltdown, just life.  My first guild had a couple officers leave due to personal issues, which resulted in several sub-segments of the guild forming their own […]

Had a run at Magister’s Terrace last night with my new guild.  We only got through the first two bosses though.  A late start, combined with my ventrilo client not connecting to their server, along with new content led to only getting the first two bosses down and stopping at midnight.
First impression though is it’s […]

Gray Matter has posted Part 3 of the Moonkin gear guide.   No, I’m not going to give you the direct link.  This is a test to see if you can find it on your own. 
(Hint:  Try my Guides, Walkthrough & Resources page).

In case you’re the only WoW player in the world that only reads my blog and no others - The Sunwell Plateau is live today.
Phew - that’s a load off…
So, I’m still levelling fishing and cooking, need CE rep for my Earthwarden, need gold for my epic flying skill, and don’t have a single T4 […]

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 […]

Sorry Hordies - Alliance FTW!!!
This guide is nothing more than the Alliance portion of the very comprehensive WoWwiki guide I referenced when I started levelling my fishing skill.  I had really neglected cooking also, so levelling them both at once had a lot of appeal.   What I will do in this guide is to use […]

Fishing - 300
Cooking - 300
Yay!  I’ve been on a short vacation so therefore the lack of posts.  I’ll try to get some out over the next few days including a fishing/cooking guide.

Shifting Perspectives, the WoW Insider druid column, just posted a great overview of druid gear available once patch 2.4 comes out. 
 The overview focuses on leather gear available for Badges of Justice that folks without immediate access to Sunwell Plateau might be interested in.
There’s some great gear coming in the patch, and this article covers the […]

So I have a new guild.  The Ebon Myth. 
I was on over the weekend and got a tell from someone I recognized as the GM from the forum postings in the application forums.  We had a brief chat, I got my raiding questions answered, and he shot me an invite.
And so started a fresh stream […]

As all of you that have been reading this blog recently know, I am guildless.  Over the last month or so I got a bit more serious trying to find a new guild.  There are precious few good posts out there addressing this issue.  I wish I could give you a complete walkthrough on “How […]

Yay!

I got some time over the last couple of days to continue my leveling around Fishing and Cooking.  I’m still following the WoWwiki guide, and I can tell you it’s spot on, at least for Alliance. 
Observations so far:

Be sure to buy the highest level bobber available to you and apply to your fishing pole.  They […]

That’ right, your weapon has two “enchantment” slots. 
I’m crazy, right?
Well, I was doing a bit of research on Wowhead for temporary enhancements, and came across the Adamantite Sharpening Stone.  You can see it adds 12 weapon damage (to a sharp weapon) and 14 melee critical strike rating. 
But what’s this second enchantment slot you’re talking about […]

Okay just read this too.  Check it out.  Epic gems available for 15 BoJ on the PTRs.

Yes, a bit bored today.  Can you tell?
Just read this short article over on WOW Insider.  I honestly haven’t been trying to read much about WotLK.  Despite reports of “Blizzard working hard” and pools to guess when this year the release date will be - we all know it will be a while before it […]

That WoWwiki guide I linked to a couple posts ago is spot on and working out great.  Got cooking up to 132 from around 70, and fishing up to 128 from around 50 in about an hour and a half. 
Yea, it’s boring, but I’m still getting a fishing level every 2-3 fish so it’s not […]
