I’ve Moved!

nobody@vox.com(Hydra) — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 12:50:52 -0700

First I was here then I tried out there. There was not terrible. So there I am. I am still working out how it all works. Don’t stain the carpet so I don’t blow the deposit.

Future posts will now be on http://almostevil.blogspot.com/.

New to an old daily

Some guildies and I finally finished off my Ogri’la quests to open the dailies. There are just some group quests that a warlock cannot do on her own. *blush*

So they get removed from my quest log. *grin*

This has to be my favorite part of the new dailies to me.

Yes, I am exalted with the Skyguard and just now friendly with the Ogri’la.

/ignore LA

nobody@vox.com(Hydra) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 08:46:20 -0700

Something is telling me I should be going into LA today.

In-game friend reminded me that this was going on. I haven't been in a long while. I have attended the San Francisco and San Diego one also. They are always a hoot. Fantastic parties.

Then there is the fact that this other thing is going on. I was reminded about it off the radio. It has been a while since I attended that one. Well it is fascinating to say the least.

But I must be getting old. All I can think about is the long drive, gas prices, sitting in a hot car, and the money I was not really planning on spending. Both events are about 30 minutes from Pink's so that is also being taken in for consideration.

Food of Choice

nobody@vox.com(Hydra) — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 11:51:59 -0700

Husband and I were swapping food stuffs the other night. I handed him the Spicy Hot Talbuk I made from the cooking daily reward. Much love from my rogue for the “I am going to kill everything in my way food.”

Hummm… would that make lock food… “I am going to kill everything I can reach 40 yards away food.” *wicked grin*

I realized I had a food preference.

Blackened Basilisk is where it is at, my #1, fills me with warm fuzzy feelings. Full stack of 20 is always on me.

Poached Bluefish is used in a pinch, if I am running low on basilisk meat.

Crunchy Serpent *shiver* for some reason I just don’t like it. Thinking about it makes my tummy turn.

They all have the same well fed buff of 23 spell damage and 20 spirit. So it is really a preference choice.

I realized I need to pick a stamina food item. I need the stamina for some boss fights and trash, particularly now that we are trying the Void Reaver hug attack (like this).

/hug

There is a lot more to choose from.

First, the food items that I disregarded:

Fisherman's Feast - 30 stamina and 20 spirit. I may get a rare Huge Spotted Feltail. It would be hard to keep this item reliably in stock.

Talbuk Steak - 20 stamina and 20 spirit. Hot spicy talbuk should be made instead.

Hot Apple Cider - 20 stamina and 20 spirit. This is holiday items dependent.

Dirge's Kickin' Chimaerok Chops 25 stamina. I had to look up what was a Chimaerok. I am not going to Feralas for food items.

We have left to choose from are:

Spicy Crawdad - 30 stamina and 20 spirit.

Blackened Sporefish 20 stamina and 8 mana every 5 sec.

Buzzard Bites - 20 stamina and 20 spirit.

Clam Bar - 20 stamina and 20 spirit.

Feltail Delight - 20 stamina and 20 spirit.

Mok'Nathal Shortribs - 20 stamina and 20 spirit.

I have always thought of spicy crawdad as tank food item. If I am going for straight stamina boost it would be the best. They are easy to get. The fishing holes are conveniently near the 72 elite elementals I farm in Terokkar Forest.

What about the sporefish’s 8 mana every 5 seconds? That would be 96 mana a minute, if a boss fight lasts about 8 minutes, it is not enough mana for two Shadow Bolts. Dark Pact is my mana pool.

Spirit is laughable in everyway for a warlock. Once, I found a level 34 warlock with spirit gear on. I immediately stripped and flogged him. Grabbed stuff out of the AH and crafted some things. Told him if I ever saw him in spirit gear again I would find a suitable monster to eat him… or I might… there are some recipes I have collected and have yet to try.

First choice will be spicy crawdad. If I run out, then blackened sporefish will be my back up.

For the stamina food choice, it looks like lock tank it shall be.

WoW Resolution Update

nobody@vox.com(Hydra) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 14:49:44 -0700

In January, I made resolutions. It is about the middle of the year and I want to assess if I have fallen off.

~~1. Get Epic Flyer for Hydra in January.~~ Done

~~2. Iridium to earn her Insignia of the Horde.~~ Done

~~3. Aurum to earn her Alliance Battle Standard.~~ Done

4. Hydra to get into Kara to get the Wicked Witch's Hat…well by October…maybe. It will NEVER drop. *cry* I am asking to be swapped in Kara raids just for the Opera event. Guild has been nice enough to oblige.

5. Hydra to cull through her hats. Nope, it looks like I maybe opening my own guild bank. Fabulous. I need to find a guild name. This is made more pressing since as we are starting to raid higher level boss fights and I need more resist gear.

6. Level at least one other character to level 70. I do not have one other toon past level 29. Need to pick one or three. =)

7. Blog less and comment more. I am blogging less, but commenting? Not so much. I never feel like I have anything helpful to add except being excited and congratulating people.

~~8. Get more involved in guild chat for my non-Main toons.~~ I have been doing this. It is hard to work on. Most of my alts are twinks which I am an officer of the guild. My other toons are guildless. The only other active guild I am a member of is AC where I am only level 22. =/

9. Run instances with others. Have NOT been doing 5-man instances at all. Have not even done the Champion of Naruu instances. I need to start doing then again. It was a restart when I was pulled into a normal MrT run to finish the last two bosses. I even saved the day by finding a healer for the last boss when ours had to go. Forgot how much fun they are to complete and struggle through.

10. Continue my evil endeavors in the guise of “farming”. Constantly!! Ongoing quest, I realize it is more of a reminder then a resolution.. I have broken out of the “Do your dailies!” that Blizz has done for us. I enjoy farming trees or primals. I do dailies if I am moved to do them only. This gets me out and about and it is amazing how many Horde know me around Azeroth. >.< /hug

I had a good start, but like all of these things it has tapered off.

I still have work to do. I think I am going to concentrate on leveling a character and running 5-mans.

9 Years and 18 Years total

nobody@vox.com(Hydra) — Fri, 30 May 2008 19:37:48 -0700

Starting now, husband and I are finally married longer than we were dating.

We asked “What do you want to do for your anniversary?” The both of us couldn’t really come up with a MUST do.

Husband went to give platelets this morning to the Red Cross, like he does every other week.

He came home with breakfast. I ate and watched him do some quick banking in the AH.

We decided to go to the beach and have lunch at BJ’s in Laguna Beach.

It was beautiful.

There was a sand sculpture contest going on and we got to watch a mother and daughter team in action. The right number of people were on the beach playing volleyball, throwing Frisbees, fishing, sunbathing, etc.

We visited my uncle’s shop to see if there was anything new. He made our wedding rings so it seemed appropriate to stop in and say hi.

BJ’s was delicious. Yummy deeeeeep dish pizza.

Talk was about everything and nothing.

At one point husband was complaining about the rocks. I told him he was “delicate”, which he didn’t deny. But does that make me “rough?” No, Husband said I was “abrasive.” I can see that. Like sandpaper, nice from afar but getting to close can hurt more than you think. =P

We spent hours down at the beach. It reminds me why we deal with all the icky things you have to deal with to live in Southern California (like $4.39 gas prices.)

So what do we have planned for tonight?

Raid!

I Sold My Shoes

nobody@vox.com(Hydra) — Thu, 29 May 2008 22:42:54 -0700

I vendored my Frozen Shadoweave Boots. They were good reliable boots. Wore them for almost a year. All is well though, because I just couldn't get the blood stains buffed out anymore.

Hydra in wait

nobody@vox.com(Hydra) — Wed, 28 May 2008 10:34:48 -0700

Go take a peek.

Go ride around.

Go get near the chest.

You get one warning…

Jump in you will be dead.

Don’t mind the hunters, warlocks, and mages standing around.

I see … 1 … 2 … 3 rogues waiting in there and a druid for good measure.

/target Horde

/hug

The Horde will help me kill you before we attack each other.

*grin*

Just so we know where we stand.

*smirk*

Yes, I get more enjoyment from killing Alliance then I do killing Horde in the Gurubashi Arena. Can you tell.
