OMG Wailing Caverns

Wailing Caverns is designed to be a low level Horde instance (15-25). In the big picture view it’s the second instance that Horde players visit, after hacking and slashing their way through Ragefire Chasm. Wailing Caverns is technically tucked under some rocks in The Barrens but thanks to the Dungeon Finder it’s just one button away. Map and directions included.

Raiding Gear for Cataclysm Leveling

But I believe that the items available from Cataclysm level 85 heroics will be better than anything available in Wrath of the Lich King. Er, that’s assuming they don’t get their gear itemisation totally wrong. And I think they want all players – even the most hardcore, realm-first chasers – to complete the heroics for loot before stepping foot in a Cataclysm raid.

How Cassandri Went Insane

My diary as I completed Insane in the Membrane. I was going to make this into a video. Maybe I will at sometime in the future. Or when I figure out how to do the speed-up effect in iMovie. Color-coded so you can see which items/activities are for which reputations.

And the Gamble Pays Off

There’s one complicated, you could say contradictory, requirement to earning Insane in the Membrane: You must reach Exalted with the Steamwheedle Cartel (the Goblins who hang out in Booty Bay, Ratchet, Everlook and Gagetzhan) but you must also reach Honoured with Bloodsail Buccaneers.

I Did it All For… Alchemy?

Alchemy is the carrot-on-a-stick that is dragging me all the way through the levels. Not the promise of reaching level 80. Not the quests. Not even the dungeons. Certainly not the gear. But the profession… yes.

Taking Control of Trade Chat

Of all the chat channels, [Trade] is the only one that is broadcast to all the major cities. If you’re standing in Dalaran, and decide to put together a 10 man group for Icecrown Citadel, what’s the best way to advertise for additional group members?

Yep. Trade Chat.

Shadow Lessons from the Professor

Well the first eight or nine Heroic modes in Icecrown Citadel go down pretty easy. I’m sure the Big Crits guild will get Lady Deathwhisper next without too much trouble. But then they’re probably going to hit their heads against the wall also known as: Heroic Professor Putricide.

Choreography and Hard Modes

So Tuesday nights and Friday nights I tend not to think much about gaming. Well, that was until the latest routine was released and I found myself surrounded by 20 people awkwardly imitating the male Human World of Warcraft dance.

Raid Leading and Cues

Cassandri as Raid Leader? I don’t think I could do it. But knowing that people in my guild think I could do it makes me wonder if I should push myself a bit harder, expand my boundaries.
