World of Warcraft – Part 18 – Sometimes You’ve Just Got to Punch a Spider in Your Underwear

Since I’ve FINALLY finished with my Legendary Cloak quest, I’ve gotten back to business of completing the Loremaster achievement before Warlords of Draenor comes out. I’ve also been working on leveling up some alts to level 90, so I can have so variety for the new expansion. I’m not worried about uber gearing the alts, the new expansions tend to do a good job of gearing characters during the opening quests, I just want to get them up to the point where I can hit the ground running. So I’ve been doing some zones on alts, and some zones on…

World of Warcraft – Part 17 – The Legendary Cloak

So, after what feels like months of work, I’ve finally obtained my Legendary Cloak. This is a lengthy quest chain which rewards the player with an iLVL 600+ Cloak that includes a bonus proc for loads of extra damage. In the current game it is straight out the strongest item you can obtain. I was prepared to mostly complain about this quest line but after obtaining the Cloak, I have to admit, it felt pretty bad ass. A lot of the longest part comes from all of the repetitive grindy parts. The overall chain is broken down into Five chapters…

World of Warcraft – Books Edition

So it’s been a pretty uneventful week in the game, just leveling up the Hunter mostly, and even that wasn’t super frequent.  I thought I’d take a minute to discuss some of the Lore related books I’ve read recently.  I think one of the aspects that really appeals to me with WoW is that the overall store, often called "Lore" is really tight.  Blizzard is pretty consistent on everything, more so the closer to present day you get.  There are other large universes but there are often contradictions.  Star Wars is all over the place, and chances are the Star…

World of Warcraft – Part 16 – Pandarian Loremaster

My latest efforts have been to pick up on some of the missing achievements for Mists of Pandaria.  Specifically, the questing related ones.  I started with the Lorewalker storyline, which mostly involves traveling all over the continent of Pandaria and reading little story lines on scrolls scattered about.  This gathers reputation with the Lorewalker faction, and gives and achievement.  Having Exalted reputation with the Lorewalkers allowed me to buy a new Cloud Disc mount, but it’s kind of a boring crappy mount.  If i am going to surf on a flat mount, I’ll stick to one of my flying carpets.…

World of Warcraft – Part 15 – The Hidden Class

World of Warcraft has nine classes to choose from when creating your character, Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Mage, Warlock, Shaman, Druid, and Monk.  But there is a secret tenth class, in, the Banker.  Each player has a limited amount of space to store items in.  Each item takes up one bag slot, though some stack up to a certain level (often 20).  Gear is always one item per slot.  There are several options for storage available with varying uses. On your person, you can carry 5 bags, one being the core 16 slot “backpack”, the other being varying sizes depending…
