This week on Outland with Curs (05/12/11)

What a week.., as said in an earlier post 4.3 is live.

I did the raidfinder part one on my Death Knight, had to do it in 2 times.
First time the first 2 bosses, Morchok and Warlord Zon'ozz. They were really easy, but they did say it would be on Baradin's Hold level. Unfortunately no interesting loot for me.
The second time I went I had to redo Morchok and Warlord Zon'ozz, and of course now 2 tier tokens drop... I've also noticed a lot of people had to pass on the loot because they already killed it once (you can only get loot from a boss once), so it might be interesting to do it later on the week as more people will have to pass.
The third and fourth, Yor'sahj the Unsleeping and Hagara the Stormbinder require some more coordination.
On Yor'sahj the Unsleeping you got know what oozes you got to kill first and the whole PUG raid got to do it. On Hagara the Stormbinder there is something with lighting that you have to move it over to 4 different points, the raid needs cooperate in a descent way so it jumps from 1 person to another. We did have to redo the lighting part a couple of times on the second occurring because some people screwed up. No intresting loot from these 2 either.
I might record these fights next week if I don't forget it.

Yesterday, Sunday, I got asked by a friend to join in for Madness of Deathwing on a normal raid (hence this post on Monday). This is the last boss. We got close on the 4th arm, but we didn't get there unfortunately.

Madness of Deathwing

As you might have noticed on the screenshot I switched out my Tier10 Shoulders for the new healing ones from the dungeons. I'm now going for the dungeon "set". I read yesterday that the gloves are missing for the healing set so I might go with the tanking. Also I've missed out on the boots because of a quest reward I took the most valuable one, not looking at the items really...

I also got 2 swords,Treachery's Bite from the new dungeons (probably the only 2 intresting drops for my DPS set). Got some Tanking upgrades as well.

On my Druid I decided to quit feral and go boomkin to eventually evolve to resto. I did a couple of the new heroics on this one aswell. DPS is rather low :-(. Also I tried to heal one, we made it but it was quite tense, I'm going to gear up some more before doing it again.

The Cursed guild got a new achievement Profit Sharing

The Cursed Profit Sharing

The auction lite addon got fixed so easy AH post again.
The idols and scarabs market seems to have collapsed on the Alliance side, where I could make some descent profit before. I think I'll hold off a bit for now, less people will farm it in the future and the items might become in higher demand again.

The gem demand on the other hand is going through the roof. I must have made around 15k gold combined on Death Knight and Druid. With all sorts of gems also the small green quality ones are selling good. Especially the red one going for 40g a piece.

Transmogrification tool by Wowhead

Wowhead introducted a nice new transmogrification tool. It shows all the sets that match your class/armor type.
The screenshots were all taken by default on a human female model. However, if you would like to see it on a different model or from another angle, simply click on set's page and click the "View in 3-D" button on the top. You can change the options in the new pop-up window for race and gender.

Wowhead Transmog Search Tool

I think are some minor bugs still in it. Selecting usable by Death Knight gave me the Dreadnaught's Battlegear set, which is a warrior set of course. Also this set isn't available anymore, however it's still an option for the warriors who saved this set from the old Naxxramas.

This week on Outland with Curs (06/11/11)

It was rather a calm week. On Wednesday I pugged Firelands on my Death Knight rather smooth run, struggled a bit on Ragnaros. Unfortunately no interesting drops for me.
I did got enough Valor Points this week to buy my 4th piece of Tier 12.

I did some heroics on my Warlock improving my gear a bit. I think I can start doing some raids soon on this one.

I got finally on the PTR but can't transfer my own characters only some premades :(. Not that interesting in terms of transmogrification.
I just read that the Darkmoon Faire got onto the PTR now as well. I might have a look at that next weekend.

A guildie from The Cursed was searching for some quest in Mount Hyjal that he couldn't find so he decided to put himself on live stream so we could help him look and explain. Pretty cool, so with his help I decided to look how I could setup a live stream myself. I didn't totally manage it to do, first the quality was bad then it only had a small corner of my screen as stream... I'll definitively look into it get a running in a descent way. I'll make some guide post about it then.

Late Sunday night The Cursed got to level 18. Also got an new achievement, very hard one...
Ragefire Chasm guild run:

Last couple days i was through my stock of gems on both my Jewelcrafters (Death Knight and Druid). So I was checking the AH a bit for elementium ore and prices were kinda high, 1g70 - 2g+ a piece, I usually wanna stay under the 1g50 mark.
Now Sunday morning I was checking again and noticed 75 stacks at 79s a piece. So I bought them all out.
Friend asked me to do some heroics with them so I relogged, but he had to go afk for a couple minutes. So I checked the auction house again, 312 Stacks at 79s. I got to buy out most of them.

In the afternoon I spend over an hour just prospecting the ores.

Gems... Lots of gems

+- Investment: 5600g

I wonder how much I'll get out of it but I'm guessing it wont be disappointing ;-)

Return on the first day: 6000g

This week on Outland with Curs (30/10/11)

The Cursed got to level 17. I've created a new logo for the guild as well, time for some renewing. It looks a bit like batman ;-).

Guild Page with new The Cursed tabard

As said in one of my previous posts i would finish off leveling my Warrior. And it done:

Kaylo, Warrior level 85

Warsong Gulch sucked to level in so i quested a bit in Twilight highlands.
Now 2 characters/classes left to get the 85. My Mage 71 and my Rogue 82.

The past week I noticed a couple of glitches in World of Warcraft.
- While i leveling in Twilight highlands i noticed some weird named chairs.

Weird chair names.

- When you use the Faded Wizard Hat and it's another gender costume, the armory will not show the costume but the costume's gender. My Mage is a female troll. I had a blood elf male costume on.

By this I got reminded with the existence of this hat and decided to get it for my Death Knight aswell.

Transmogrification for my Druid

Wow, looking over the different druid sets I can't say i really like alot of them...
I came up with 2 sets I sort of like:

Tier 11: Stormrider

My first choice and the one most likely I'll obtain is the Stormrider's set.
It's not a green/brown set for once and it has some small animation on the shoulders, dropping feathers and some small lighting.
This is tier 11 so this is pretty easy to obtain, I already got 2 pieces, just need to get a pug for BWD & BOT for the 2 others the chest I can easily get by doing some heroics.

Tier 6: Thunderheart

The other set I like is from the days I did arena with my druid (when they were overpowered ;-))

It looks like the Tier 6 Thunderheart set.
