The Week #9
Jan 10th
The past week I haven’t really been playing Fae much. I’ve logged in to do her random daily heroic for the Frost Emblems, pugged a Flame Leviathan 10 for the weekly raid quest, aside from that I’ve been quite determined to level my warlock.
A little background on my warlock: She was my first character. I made her.. I think the September before TBC was released, so at the time I could be an undead or an orc. I chose undead. At about level 27 ish, I noticed everybody had “words in front of their names” so when I asked my friend where to get this, he said PvP. I joined a WSG and made myself a Scout which I was perfectly happy with, not understanding PvP at all at this point (not much has changed, let’s be fair). She would have been about level 40 when TBC hit, I levelled very slowly, with college, social life, and other alts to sort out as well. When TBC hit and I noticed how many 70s were around I became determined and at about 62, a group of guildies helped me with the Dreadsteed quest. It was very hard at this point and took about 10 minutes, and my God I was proud of that mount. She was my first character to 70 and I quit her 2 months after she hit 70 to play a priest instead. She is now my 6th level 80.
The problem with Scout Hadlo being an undead is purely that I don’t really like playing undead. The only horde race I like is blood elf, and I guess tauren. After a shitty hour of being PvPed in Nagrand, helping a friend with Ring of Blood, I decided finally I’d race change to blood elf and eventually decided to change her name from Hadlo, to something much more comfortable: Jaedia. I’m now much more attached to the character, I love that she is Scout Jaedia, and in fact, Destruction feels like a very similar playstyle to Spiritmasters in Aion, which was the class I played and loved to bits. Anyway, I do have a bit of link love this week.
I’d really like to promote a few new blogs today. I have 3 I’d like to share with you.
- Random Rogue – I love her theme to bits. It’s bright, colourful, and very happy. I like that, and also the idea behind the blog. Just another random rogue pugging her way through the levels. I find that a nice fresh new idea for blogging.
- Marks-365 – I think I found Morynne’s hunter blog from a comment on another blog. Curious I had a look and I loved reading her blog, chatting on Twitter, and watching it grow.
- The Spirit Beast – A beautifully designed brand new blog for BM hunters. I can’t wait to see it improve and grow
I really do need to get upto date on my reader. I couldn’t bear to go through everything after Christmas and have still barely touched on it, sorry guys, I will read your stuff! Though, I have managed to get upto date on a few.
I really love Pike’s WoW-Related Things I Have Drawn Lately post. I love looking at other people’s art, whether it be doodles or oil paintings or the other awesome stuff inbetween. These are so cute I had to share.
This week I have come across 2 bloggers who word what I was trying to say in my post about elitists much better than I could. The first being Arioch of Clearcasting, and the second Saresa of Destructive Reach.
There’s an awesome guide for raiding shadow priests up at Lucky Lurky this week, nice to see you posting again Ben!
Last but by no means least, big congratulations to Naithin! Wish you guys all the best and Cristel’s dress is really pretty

The Week #7
Dec 20th
My original plan to leave you with a couple of queued posts while I was away isn’t looking likely now on account of my being way too tired to think. Need to pack, might take something other than a few Warcraft books incase I change my mind when I sit down to read, pick a few CDs, DVDs, Dragon Age is going. Make sure random important things liiike phone ch- yeah anyway you guys don’t care, sleepy Jae gets a bit more rambly than usual. My point is I might spend the day on Loremaster rather than a post which will come out as a rambly mess. Might queue up something small for Christmas day, though, don’t expect too much. A quick bit of link love!
Now, one blogger who has had an impact on me this week is Tam. This is because whenever I try to access Righteous Orbs, I’m redirected to the Apache Test Center or something! I’m very technologically illiterate (although I couldn’t survive without my sat nav) and didn’t and still don’t have a clue what that means. Thankfully, I can still read Righteous Orbs in my reader, and for those of you who can access it, go Looking for Goats.
A few hunter strats for ICC wich I’ve found to be pretty useful. First of all, OutDPS has the brief overview of all 4 bosses. Frostheim has put more detail into Lord Marrowgar, Lady Deathwhisper, and Gunship Battle strats. By the way, couldn’t help but mention: OMGBEARROCKETBUTT!
In the week I’ve been working on my 3.3 gear list, I’ll admit I need to have another look over it and I will be updating it again when we have a full loot table for Icecrown BUT let’s just say Rilgon is much better at these things than me.
For those of you who haven’t yet finished the Merrymaker achievement, /hug and Mend Pet have reposted their guides from last year which are both equally as awesome as each other.
The lovely Elsen has written a post about guilds. Her advice about being happy in your guild echoes my own opinions and I urge you to read it, especially if you’re unsure about your guild at the moment.
Ophelie went looking for fail, and found nothing but friendliness and easy PUGs, the opposite of ‘when it rains’ eh?
As I’ve been saying, I might have internet access in Wales, but I’m not counting on it and stashing up on books, DVDs and games, because Christmas is oh so fun! I probably won’t be blogging while I’m out there, but I am bouncing up and down for this Secret Santa exchange, and we’re planning to leave on the 27th I think Dan said, so will be home by the Sunday evening *touch wood* (and Steel: I’m going to be WAY too tired to raid that night, driving makes me cranky).
Merry Christmas!

The Week #3
Nov 22nd
So, another week, and what have I been reading? To be honest, not a lot. I’ve had quite a few lousy days in which I didn’t really feel like catching up on my reader, and I’ve fallen so far behind now that it’s difficult to catch up. Though I have found quite a few gems this week anyway. Also, an excuse to post a turkey on a mount *giggle*.
The guys at OutDPS and Warcraft Hunter’s Union have recently interviewed Kripparian, one of the best hunters in the world, on their podcast. Since, they have both started up the theorycrafting and how to manage cooldowns. These are well worth reading for any hunters out there who want to increase their DPS.
- Cooldown Timing! – OutDPS
- An Obedient Pet: Pet Attack Macros! – OutDPS
- Stacking Cooldowns with Procs – Warcraft Hunters Union
Windsoar at Jaded Alt has found an awesome website called EpicAdvice.com. It’s a website where you can comfortably ask questions about World of Warcraft, and get decent answers. Her review of the website is excellent, and convinced me to check it out. I’m aware that this website has been around for a while, but this was the place I found it.
Mortigan the Lock this week let us in on a sneak peek at what endgame bosses are upto. “It’s a desperate loneliness that drives these three together. No one else understand their unique plight. Except one, maybe…”
Elsen gives us an excellent guide on how to be the last person in the WORLD to be exalted with SSO. Even if you are already exalted, it’s still worth a look as it’s a good read.
Skip at More Bars Than You gives us an insight into feral druid talents, particularly feral aggression. Have to say, I love his writing style so much that though I might not really know much about druids as such, I still enjoyed reading this post, and every other.
I actually discovered Aphroditi’s warlock blog, Fel Fire, via wow.com. They linked to the auction house UI guide, and now I’m doing the same because it is actually an excellent guide. Shame I can’t be bothered with Auctioneer, though this guide has particularly convinced me that it’s not so bad, who knows?
Tykot, a new poster at Pwnwear, has posted a brilliant guide on how to make money with jewelcrafting.
Lassirra at The Hunter’s Mark has given us a brilliant guide to The Isle of Conquest, which I will refer back to when I get around to PvPing some more.
Big Bear Butt has been harping on party politics this week, in a few fun to read posts relating to his paladin and pugging.
