This week on Outland with Curs (01/11/11) Midweek part

With Halloween I got 2 extra days off, I had some extra time in WoW as well. So I've decided to add an extra post.

On Monday

I joined an icc 25 hc hoping to finish off the infusion quests on my Death Knight... I got close but no cigar :'(.
Had 2 attempts, first try all went pretty will had 3 bites but it ended in chaos and some mindcontrols.
The second try some people had trouble holding off their dps and I didn't get bitten first and we killed it to quick this time, I only had time to bite 2 people. So better luck next time I guess.

Luckily it wasn't all in vain. I got Scourgeborne Waraxe and Bracers of Dark Reckoning for transmogrification.
This means I've got my wanted axe for transmogrification (as said in this post).

Not only did I get those two items for transmogrification, I also was able to finish of the Glory of the Icecrown Raider (25 player). So now i have a nice Icebound Frostbrood Vanquisher mount.

In the evening I did some raids with Ättestupan.
On my Death Knight I did Baleroc, Majordomo Fandral Staghelm (heroic!) and Ragnaros.

Majordomo Fandral Staghelm (heroic!)

And to finish we did another Ragnaros kill on the alts, on which I came with my shaman.
I got a nice helm, Erupting Volcanic Helmet, which looks fancy aswell:

Today (Tuesday)

Today was rather a lazy day. I did Karazhan this morning on my Death Knight. I really like the instance, the whole setting. I was unable to do chess as Medivh cheats to much ;-) and I wasn't that lucky with his cheats.

On with the show

Audience Pov

 In the afternoon I did some Zandalari heroics on my Warlock.

This week on Outland with Curs (23/10/11)

The Cursed got to level 16 on Thursday. We've obtained the cash flow guild perk now. Some more gold in the bank weekly. Might buy some additional tabs soon.

We also got Critter Kill Squad, killing 50 critters

I got the Creepy Crate on my death knight, it has some cool animations.

Creepy Crate

I leveled my rogue and my warrior a bit during the AV weekend. About a level each, although it was a lot harder on my rogue because we kept losing... Horde sucks at AV in the 80 - 84 bracket.


Thursday I had the chance to raid Firelands again with my Death Knight and the helm of Alysrazor dropped.
Wearing the earlier in week obtained  The Horseman's Horrific Helmet, I noticed that my item level 365 had more strength than Greathelm of the Voracious Maw (ilvl 378).

Someone made an intresting note on wowhead though:

Cata itemization has been incredibly linear(/bland) so it's a big surprise to see something like this come along. I wonder if it's a bug or if it's going live like this.
Reference.
i353: 263 in primary stat (usually Strength for plate, sometimes a tanking stat)i359: 281 in primary stati365: 301 in primary stati371: 322 in primary stati372: 325 in primary stati378: 348 in primary stat (some variance here; the tank ones have 388, the new 5-mans 346)i384: 371 in primary stati391: 400 in primary stat (tank ones 440)i397: 426 in primary stat (tank ones 466)i403: 454 in primary stat
This helm is a 365 with the Strength budget of a 384, the secondary stats of a mid-350s, and Stamina of a mid-330s. Given how much better Strength is than secondary stats this expansion, this makes it a ridiculously well-itemized piece and very comparable to 378s.

Hallow's End started

Kinda lost sight of this so it was some surprise today when I logged on and noticed Hallow's end started with a bunch of new quests and new loots.
Immeadtly queued for the Headless Horseman.

On my Headless Horseman first run today with Cursive, my warlock, I got the The Horseman's Horrific Helmet, The Horseman's Sinister Saber and Sinister Squashling.

On Cursedknight, my Death Knight, I got The Horseman's Horrific Helmet aswell, finally something to replace that last ugly troll item :-), along with Sinister Squashling.
I did a couple more runs to get the ring, Seal of the Petrified Pumpkin. I started doing some quests on Cursedknight, will have a better look at them this weekend.

I noticed you can buy several items with Tricky Treats.
Definitively want to buy the Little Wickerman and Feline Familia. 

This week on Outland with Curs (16/10/11)

The weekend started very nice with an unexpected nicely run through ulduar 25 man with achievments giving me some Reins of the Ironbound Proto-Drake. Best proto-drake every in my opinion.

Oh and I wasn't alone there with a Swift Zulian Tiger. I did have the biggest one ;-)

Swift Zulian Tigers

My warlock got 85, that means I got 3 left to get to 85.

On saturday I got my first Elementium-Edged Scalper crafted.
And during a BOT pug run i got finally some replacement for my ugly Skullpiercer Pauldrons, namely Magma Plated Pauldrons, looking bad ass again now.

Sunday was rather calm not much happened, I did some random Zandalari's on my DK and on my warlock.
And i got my second Elementium-Edged Scalper crafted.

This week on Outland with Curs, the DK... (25/09/11)

Sunday

While finishing up my earlier this week started weekly MC run on my Death Knight , I found out I had a happy ending waiting.

Eye of Sulfuras was waiting for me.
I'm kind of unprepared for this one, so it'll take me some time to get the mats for it.
Stay tuned


Saturday

Tonight I did a Firelands run on my deathknight and got quite some upgrades.
