Old Kingdom Come
by Laneer on Jan.22, 2009, under Achievements, Group
After trying many times and never succeeding to get a Heroic Ahn’kahet: The Old Kingdom finally it turns up as the daily. I guess that will increase my chances and I was correct. Though the group had a rocky start.
A rogue invites me wanting to start a group. I reluctantly join, I usually don’t like to start groups with DPS (other than Inien) because it can take so long to get a tank. We got a tank though quickly, and we ended up with 3 deathknights. Were were about there when the tank left for his guild naxx run (at least he did so before we started) so we ended up getting a warrior that I had already talked to earlier. Then the rougue leaves for “personal” reasons. So we pickup an amazing sounding DK in his place. There was some sort of party going on at the summoning stone
With all the DK’s our DPS was NOT a problem. The last DK we invited was doing about 46% of the damage and was insainly geared.
This is the dracula fight which had a new trick! At least I didn’t remember dracula having lasers before
Interestingly enough he wasn’t at all interested in my blood like he usually was, he kept eating the bad ass DK
The last boss I was dreading because Inien told me his group had issues with this boss. When the group came for me it was pretty easy. They were all melee so I let them all get to me and just feared them. I didn’t attempt to kill them just keep them busy I let the DKs kill them
I love this fight though it is so unique and cool for a 5 man
After we finished the bad ass DK left and we were all about to when we realized we didn’t get the achievement for the instance. We checked and there was one other boss. I guess it is a bonus boss only in heroic. So we decided to 4 man him. The first try was total failure because we didn’t know what we were doing. After that though we killed him no problem.
Oh and for future reference the trick apparently people used to do of pulling the 3rd boss over the water fall if he enrages doesn’t work anymore he resets instead. Guess it was fixed in this patch. The tank knew of this trick and we attempted it first. The next time we beat him though we just had to try harder
Didn’t get the achievement though.
Tailoring 425
by Laneer on Jan.22, 2009, under Gameplay
What I neglected to be excited about in my last post was that I got my tailoring to 425 last night. I either didn’t realize it or it changed with 3.08, but 425 seems to be a significant skill. I gained access to probably 20 different patterns.
Most notably the new cloak enchants they gave us. I look forward to gathering the materials to put the mana returning one on my cloak! Certainly it is better than the puny 15 haste rating I have on it now. For the most part I’ve never been impressed with cloak enchants. For the large part of WoW I simply had armor or resists. In BC later I started putting the subtlety enchant on it, but now threat is less of an issue.
I think I also got the rest of the PvP set we can make which I will probably work on. I dumped all my old PvP gear because once I got to 80 it was pretty useless. Not that the tailored stuff is awesome but it’s a start if I do any PvP
I can also make my epic flying carpet now as well. I may hold off on making it till after it becomes a regular mount. I read that all the mounts that are currently vehicles will be made to be a regular mount, maybe by 3.1.
Now I just got to get my enchanting up! I should be able to make some progress as I do some more questiong and DE all the crap I get. I have like 5 stacks of shards now to buy enchants with so I’m ready to skill up!
