New Years Gear Update Video

The 1st boss I was fighting was Malygos, and I was fotunate enough to win the key when we 1st downed Sapphiron in Naxxramus.
With my Engineering I got my skill up high enough to make Armored Titanium Goggles (BTW thottbot says 400 skill to make these, it's actually 440). Some of the other cool Items I can make are MOLL-E, Healing and Mana Injector Kits.
Reins of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth comes in so handy, I can't even put it into words. it's like having a portable town. With MOLL-E and this mount, I wouldn't have to go to town, other than the Auction House. The one thing this mount has saved, is a ton of time. Now I did save 3000g by gettting revered with the Kirin Torr (by buying their tabbard and wearing it in lvl 80 instances).

If you like Bauble-Woven Gown, Exotic Leather Tunic, Silver-Plated Battlechest, or Gilded Ringmail Hauberk. then at lvl 78+ you can get the quest Junk in My Trunk as soon as you zone into Utgarde Pinnacle. I then upgraded to the Breastplate of the Solemn Council, which I received from The Wyrmrest Accord being Revered.
Sorrowgrave's Breeches dropped off of Svala Sorrowgrave.
Massive Spaulders of the Jormungar dropped off of Gortok Palehoof.
Skadi's Iron Belt dropped off of Skadi the Ruthless.

Still editing this...check back later!

Hello, I wish the best to all my viewers during the holidays! Sorry it's been so long since I made a video. I have 8 1/2 hours of footage and I didn't know where to start with it. Well now the gear update videos will take bosses and moments from that footage, and should be a longer video as well.

Utgard Keep is one of the 1st intro instances, and considering I can do stockades in 15 min, yet UK in 20... it would make more sense to go to UK. I did have one other lvl 80 with me, Tullius the mage. He needed to finish off an old quest in his log. I am confident that I could take 2 healers and 2 AOE's through here all level 68-72 and have similar results.

Prince Keleseth dropped the Reinforced Velvet Helm in this video. When I ran him in heroics the Infantry Assault Blade was my 1st weapon upgrade from the Hammer of Quiet Mourning (which I received at level 74, and shown in my previous video here)

Skarvald the Constructor and Dalronn the Controller dropped the . I skipped by the reason why I take "the Barbarian" down to 10%, because when he is a ghost he has no method of controlling his aggro, and he make take a caster or healer down faster then when alive. I've never had a problem with this boss since the beginning (when i was level 71). It may of just been chance we killed him 1st. I'm pretty sure we had once killed Dalronn 1st and lived either way.

Ingvar the Plunderer is the last boss and you get to kill him twice! I had forgot to mention to stay away from the flying spinning axe, but most would figure that out in a min. Note to self: if there is a flying spinning axe coming at you....move! Ingvar dropped the Overlaid Chain Spaulders in this video.

Gold tip: there were 5 greens dropped during this 20 min. and 1 BOE blue. If you did this 3 times an hour and each green disenchanted for an average of 10g, you would have 150G just on the greens alone, not to mention the greys and the chance at a BOE blue or better. Refer back to my Auction House Video with Hobbs for more info.

Once again sorry for the late wait for all my viewers, but I honestly want to bring out good content rather than frequent content. The next one should be good and not so rushed. Thanks for watching!

Level 80 Pull

Well I finally hit level 80 on Dec 4th 2008. Which is a lot faster than the last expansion. For those who don't believe it you can see my achievement dated on the official armory here, just click on the general tab. Since that point I have done some Heroics, which I wasn't sure I was able to do. You can see which ones I have accomplished in the achievement tab & also the gear I have upgraded to as well. I will have more gear update videos coming out in the future as well as some walk though on some of the instances & raids. It may be a while before I put out my next video though as I want to make sure the content I put out for you guys is good.

In this video I pulled Sapph , 3 Death Knight Adepts, 2 Lumbering Atrocities, and a bunch of Death Knight Initates.

The Royal Crest of Lordaeron and the Pendant of the Nathrezim dropped for me in Heroic the The Culling of Stratholme! I still use my Titansteel Shield Wall from time to time depending on the situation.

Congrats to Lockdnloaded this week on the Fiery Warhorse's Reins. We run 5 man Karazhan each week just to the 1st Boss for a chance at this drop. Next week we run the same group so if it drops again the remaining members now have a 1 out of 4 chance at receiving the mount.

Thank you to Nolyn for all the overhead footage in the level 80 video!

Level 75-79

Well I am heading out tonight for a christmas dinner (IRL). So I will update this tommorow. I will post the pictures I talked about . If you have not seen the Toilet Bowl Pull video click here.

Happy Thanksgiving & PVP

Level 70-75

Many have e-mailed me wondering if I like the new expansion, I love it. Graphically it's awesome, the quests are simple and many of them fun. It feels a bit too easy, but it could be because of some of the entry epic I had received, I could only imagine those who got T6 before the Lich king. Now for leveling, I know there are some whom are level 80 right now and congrats to all of them. Do I feel behind? Not at all. If you remember when I went from 60-70 it took me like 10 months. Now I have 5 levels within the 1st 10 days. If I hit raiding within 2 weeks from now I will only be 2 weeks behind the top guilds who didn't sleep much the last 2 weeks. I was a full year behind before and felt we moved quite fast. So I am so excited for our guild, we have a few 80's and many more to follow. The numbers will assure we can do heroics at mostly any time of the day. We should badge gear up fast and start hitting the new Naaxx shortly.

Some of the quests that should not be avoided to get some blues (if they are an upgrade) are:

If you are new to level 70, the quest line starting with Word on the Street, which will give you Borean Smasher, Axe of Frozen Death, Staff of the Purposeful Mendicant, Fury of the Raging Dragon, Fang of the Desolate Soul, or Tower of the Infinite Mind.

At level 74 there are a few good chains that will give you blues. The one show in the video is Search and Rescue, which starts with Scourgekabob from Prigmon. The rewards for completing this line are Kurzel's Angst, Kurzel's Rage, or Kurzel's Warband. And the final step of the quest where you put the blouse on Novos the Summoner you receive Shameful Cuffs, Scorned Bands, Accused Wristguards, or Disavowed Bracers.

In this video the items that dropped in order are:

Azjol-Nerub also drops Signet of Arachnathid Command, which I am presently wearing

Novos the Summoner : Robes of Novos

Still working on list... and the list of trinkets I used in BM, check back soon!

Naxxarmas and Northrend

In this Naxxarmas I downed Gulth and Thaddius. Then wiped on Sapphiron, but will down him in Lich King!
Well I can't wait to hit Naxx in Northrend, as I never completed it in BC. I've posted a few videos the last 2 days, so look below. I have to go wait in line for my copy of Lich, gl to all!

I will update the info on the

Oh and if you haven't seen Death Knights vs Hobbs, watch it here.

AOE Stratholme

The 4 Achievements I received in Warsong Gultch were The Grim Reaper, Capture the flag, Warsong Gulch Victory , and G.N.E.R.D. Rage.



Stratholme is not as prosperous right now as before, but you can still make good coin at it. Of coarse with wrath coming out tomorrow, I will find new areas that are even more profitable to farm for all my viewers. It is just 1 of many ways to make excess gold in this game. At the beginning of Lich, i will be focusing on leveling rather than gold. As I reach 80 and have progressed a bit into gear at that moment I will start to focus back on farming and helping others through AOE pulls.



Check the prices of your local cloth as they will sell well in the next few months. Also the lvl 60+ enchanting materials will sell well due to people wanting enchants on their newly tweaked Death Knights.



Of course vast amounts of wealth will be made in Lich. But, like any economy, there is inflation, you'll make more but things will be more expensive.



Well I have to go get that Naxx video ready for you guys tonight. Thank you again for watching.



See my Stratholme series while you wait, here.

SM! Again? Yes but with Recruit A Friends

I've had a lot of request to do some "traditional" Hobbs Way of Pulling videos. So I dusted this one up and posted it for you guys. It's funny, cause it's probably still the most fun I have in the game when I do it. Now being a guild leader though it would not be right for me to always do this, since I need to help raise the bar within the guild. That is why you may of seen a change in my videos lately, the game has changed for me.

At the end of this video I talk about being nervous about the upcoming expansion. It's not because I'm worried about leveling or achieving my goals. It's because this is really my favorite game (believe it or not) and I hope with all the changes that I am still as happy with it. There was one patch a few years back where I had almost quit just cause I thought the way I played may be eliminated. Now the nice thing with Blizzard is they have always enhanced the game play for myself and I have been impressed with most changes. Even some "nerfs". Right now with the overpowered talent trees for Burning Crusade, I am enjoying the new content...yet am a bit bored. Thank goodness Lich King is only days off!

The videos I refer to in the above video are:

Hobbs Soloing SM





I do talk about my favorite trinket Figurine of the Colossus which I received in Shattered Halls.

Scourge and Hyjal

Recycled Heroes will no longer be taking members as of Nov 13th, with the exception of a limited number of Death Knights.

Balzaphon is one of the new Bosses in Strathhome until Lich King comes out. So if Staff of Balzaphon, Chains of the Lich, or Waistband of Balzaphon interests you to have as a keepsake, head out there to grab it.

Sever is another boss only available during the scourge event. He is found in Shadowfang Keep and dropps The Axe of Severing and Abomination Skin Leggings.

Hyjal trash dropped the Hammer of Judgement, Hellfire-Encased Pendant, and the Pattern: Bracers of Nimble Thought which makes Bracers of Nimble Thought.

Rage Winterchill dropped Cuffs of Devastation, Furious Shackles and Design: Stormy Empyrean Sapphire which makes a Stormy Empyrean Sapphire.

More info on Recycled Heroes

Happy Halloween!

Tenris Murkblood has been an awsome additon to Karahzan. The Arcanite Ripper's animation rocks, and I'm hoping to have one before Lich King. Make sure you get the quest Chamber of Secrets before you go kill him.

One thing I did not talk about, but should of in the video was his Blood Mirror effect, where a random player takes the damage that is dealt to Tenris. During these 1 min stages, go low DPS on Tenris, and make sure heals are on who ever is affected.

The Horseman's Blade dropped for mae and although it's not a tanking weapon it's fun to use. With my threat high, i'm not to worried about the little things in the next few weeks.

Watch last years Headless Hobbsman video here.

Part 2 Patch impressions "Plague of Zombies"

Well I have more video content to come out for you guys so stay tuned. I have added a new post at the bottom of this blog to see how many of my viewers presently play WoW. I know this may seem like a silly question, but I do have quite a few comments that they don't play but find these videos interesting.

Tomorrow I will be working to update both this post and the post below with lots of links of the items shown in the last 2 videos.

I have upgraded my video card to show the dynamic shadows in the game. See this video has a lot of examples. It's a great effect and makes things look a bit more 3d. I'm not sure if I am 100% happy with the card though as out in open areas it lags a lot. even if I turn the shadows down and use my old settings. Not sure if I want to put in the old card for smoother game experience without the shadows, or try to figure out this card. I may have a chance to exchange it , post in comments here or on my You Tube page on what video card you are using , if you are exceptionally happy with it.

Part 1 of Many, See You Tomorrow

See the last paragraph of this blog for my talent tree. Keep in mind now is the learning and trying things out stage, so don't take it too serious. I already have found a few changes in my talent tree that I'd like to spec differently.

It's Raining Cows!

Breaking Down the Wall to the Lich King!

These are the 2 weapons below I talk about Burning Crusade vs Litch King
The Gorehowl drops in Karazhan off of Prince and it is quickly closely related to Blubber Carver by finishing the quest Karuk's Oath. Then definitely upgraded by Axe of Frozen Death which is found by completing the quest Last Rites.

For 1 handed take a look at King's Defender dropped in the Chess Event in Kara vs Edge of the Tuskarr obtained from the quest in Northrend The Tides Turn.

So this Tuesday is a HUGE patch with all new talents. I have friends that have tried the Public Test Realms and they say they can 5 man Kara now. So this is a great opportunity for everyone to experience some content they may have not been able to reach so far.

One video related to this one is my Romulo and Julianne video

I will add the items dropped in "The Wall" vid tomorrow as I have to get to my SSC run tonight. Thank you all for watching and I'll see you more into the Lich!

Fri the 13th Results

Now with the new guild it's opening up a whole new game to me. Having the role of the guild leader is very busy. When I was in King Nothing I was not the leader and simply took a side seat as he performed an excellent job. I also was not ready to lead at that point in my life. I had done it prior but was annoyed by all the bickering and fighting within. I was feeling like I had to solve it all. The new guild is going great and the real issues I only have to solve is if it effects guild chat or vent chat. People will always have something to disagree about but if it doesn't bring in the whole guild into their tiffs, it's their business.

Now on a more positive note we have been growing like mad and the lower level members are quickly leveling up. I want this new guild to be a home for the players within. A home, where in the higher levels they stick around through the growing/wiping process (which will only make us stronger as a whole).

The main focus of this guild is long term PVE progression into the Litch King. I will talk about more of this all in tomorrows video.

This Friday the 13th video was discussed here in my Ogrimar Spring Cleaning Results Event



Sneak peek of tomorrows PVP event as seen by other point of view.


Above video posted on YouTube by Kiernan530

Brewfest

Well this even has been fun, and since putting this video up I have killed him like 20 more times and have seen the Kodo drop again, but lost the roll. This Kodo went to a guild member though, we now have 5 Kodos in the guild plus lots of people gearing up with the trinkets.

Looking forward to the Halloween Boss, which I did a video on him here last year. I had just dinged lvl 70 and it was my 1st epic item. I still use it from time to time when gearing DPS for bosses like Shade of Aran, or just in town to hear it laugh.

The trinkets for Corren Direbrew are simular to the 41 badge trinkets and the comparison is listed below.

Brewfest vs 41 Badges

Coren's Lucky Coin vs Gnomeregan Auto-Blocker 600

Empty Mug of Direbrew vs Bloodlust Brooch

Direbrew Hops vs Essence of the Martyr

Dark Iron Smoking Pipe vs Icon of the Silver Crescent

Recycled Heroes

Well the new guild is now approximately 3 days old, guild bank is 4300g and growing. Thanks to all members we will try to reach as high as possible with this number. Our 1st Kara raid I put in the 15 shards which sold at 20g each. We actually had 2 full raids for our 1st time in Kara as a guild!

I am very happy to have a guild again, as I have not had one since my last one. So when I did power level people I couldn't;t see the long term results.

One of the reasons people leave guilds is "they are not progressing fast enough for me". Yet if those people with their acquired gear from that guild stuck around a bit to help the others to catch up, then you would have the progression. Yet I guess these people prefer to be carried.

Try to focus on 1 or 2 characters.. having 8 70's really isn't a huge accomplishment if none of them are geared enough to participate in what the guild is offering.

Badges is a great way to gear up when there are not many members online. Heroic runs are short as well if you just want a quick gaming session.

I am looking forward to having the guild change in many ways to become a successful guild.

Good luck with all your guilds, and I will have another video out in the future.

Thanks for watching!

Auction House with Hobbs

The links to the mods I talk about in this video can be found in my FAQ at the bottom of this page. You'll see a new poll there as well. If you guys like this format let me know, as I will do different farming locations and show the approximate loot that you can expect from it.

I started out low with stockades since most levels can farm here and it's not limited to just higher levels. I also wanted to show how some place most people consider worthless now, actually has a value.

When The Burning Crusade came out the value of the items in stocks went way up, as there were a ton of people leveling Shamans on the alliance side. Now once Death Knights come out keep in mind anything 55+ will go up in price if the item is relevant to the Death Knight class. So you can farm those items and hold on to them in one of your alt banks, or buy the items/mats off the AH to hold for the expansion.

One other item that will go up is items that increase your reputation with BC & pre-BC factions. In the litch king expansion they will be adding achievements, which some of them will be to be revered with a faction. I figured this out when someone in general was spamming "WTB any and all reputation items.", this person is obviously stock piling for the upcoming WotLK.

One disappointment with The Stockade is that there are no BOP's for the people being power leveled. Now the experience from it is great. There is a rare spawn Bruegal Ironknuckle that does drops Jimmied Handcuffs, Iron Knuckles, or a Prison Shank.

Tier 4, Gold and Death Knights

Gruul the Dragonkiller dropped Bloodmaw Magus-Blade, Dragonspine Trophy, and Leggings of the Fallen Hero x3.

Now prior to Grull we downed High King Maulgar and I recieved Pauldrons of the Fallen Champion, which I then turned in for Justicar Shoulderguards. I then enchanted them with Greater Inscription of Warding, and put 2 blue gems. The sockets are blue and yellow, but I wanted maximum stamina so ignored the socket bonus. I could of used my Charmed Amani Jewel, which I talk about in this video.

The mods I talk about in any of my videos can always be found on my FAQ, which is always located at the bottom of my blog in the thanks for watchign paragraph.

Zul'Gurub Part 1.2

We start the video with the 2nd boss High Priest Venoxis who dropped the Zulian Stone Axe, Cloak of the Hakkari Worshippers, and the Primal Hakkari Girdle.

Hearthsinger Forresten finally dropped my Piccolo of the Flaming Fire.

To see where my Figurine of the Colossus dropped, watch this video here.

Zul'Gurub Part 1.1

Hello, first off I know this is one of my shorter videos, but I am going to try something different that may allow me to bring out more videos quicker, although they may be shorter. Plus I have a vision on how they will all come togther in the end so bear with me this week.

So, ZG has been a great experience, I did run this when I was with my last guild.

High Priestess Jeklik dropped Jeklik's Opaline Talisman, Belt of Untapped Power, Primal Hakkari Bindings, Primal Hakkari Armsplint and the Seal of the Gurubashi Berserker

Here's a link to my 1st video.

For the mods and addons I use, see the FAQ at the bottom of this page.

Final Gear Update

In the future I will add the gear drops as I receive them, it should be easier to edit, and keep you all more current on what I am doing in game. I will be very busy with WotLK when it comes out, I have just put my pre-order on it last week at my local game store.

As with my guild I left, I wish everyone the best, and who knows what the future holds.

In Zul'Aman I received a lot of great drops I will list the drops seen in this video below.

Akil'zon the eagle boss dropped my Amani Punisher and the Signet of Ancient Magics

Nalorakk the bear boss was featured in this ZA video. He dropped Pauldrons of Primal Fury for Nolyn, who also makes some videos, which you can see here.

Jan'alai the dragon hawk dropped the Bulwark of the Amani Empire and Footpads of Madness. I also showed a clip from Kara here and Attumen the Huntsman dropped Steelhawk Crossbow and Gloves of Dexterous Manipulation. When I used my blue shield it was the Petrified Lichen Guard which i may have dropped a bit too low, but we lived anyways. You can see where I got the Petrified Lichen Guard here in this video, originally aired Sept 17, 2007.



The chest drops - Signet of the Last Defender, Trollbane, Life-step Belt, and the Elunite Imbued Leggings. From the 1st chest I wanted the Pauldrons of Stone Resolve to drop, which I added now to my wish list at the bottom right of this blog. The other epic shoulder items that would be an upgrade are Mantle of Abrahmis from Netherspite in Karazhan or Justicar Shoulderguards from High King Maulgar in Gruul's Lair.

Halazzi the lynx boss dropped the Robe of Departed Spirits.
The quest to get the Charmed Amani Jewel is called Playin' With Dolls.

Gracierose received the Sun Eater.

From my many badges I bought 60 badges for Ring of the Stalwart Protector, 75 badges for Blue's Greaves of the Righteous Guardian, 100 badges for Inscribed Legplates of the Aldor.

Alurmi will sell you a +12 Spell Damage ring enchant at enchanting level 360, plus you need to be honored with the Keepers of Time.

Prince Malchezaar dropped the Gorehowl which I did enchant with Executioner. I do now have the formula for Enchant Weapon - Executioner, it dropped for me in ZA, but my enchanting is only 360 and I need 375 to enchant it.

Belt of the Guardian was generously donated by Macloud, thank you very much!

Gear day 2

Engineering has been great I have made quite a few items that I did not show in this video but will show use of in future episodes. If you remember I did have it when I made the World Enlarger in my BRD part 2 video.

I probably spent 3000 gold on the making of the items in this video. Your server can be higher or lower depending on the price of all materials. I hear it can be quite cheap if you take up the mining profession.

Zap throttle mote extractor, it will take a long time to get the gold back for this as in my travels I've only mined like 25g worth of motes and it cost a lot more to make. Hopefully it will be useful in the expansion and there will be more motes. It wouldn't be so bad if it was as frequent as herbs or mining deposits, but the gaseous balls are really scarce.

I do love my Turbo-Charged Flying Machine. I was getting bored of my Swift Gryphon.

I will get Commendation of Kael'thas, but I am not as excited to get that as I was when looking forward to the Figurine of the Colossus. Oh, if you are a jewlcrafter, check this out for paladin tanking - Figurine Crimson Serpent. I almost wanted to change from my enchanting, but I recently got it to skill 360 so I could enchant my rings +12 spell damage.

Now the number 1 reason for this profession was for my Tanktronic Goggles! They rock, I do use them for zooming in and getting a few closer shots for my videos. In my last gear up date day 1, I zoomed in on Magtheridon for a better look at him. I also use it in my Grulls Lair(18seconds in to 27seconds) and my Nightbane video (where after the curator you talk to the 3 guys, I'm actually standing at a distance filming)

I use Schematic: Field Repair Bot 110G alot while farming, even to sell my greys and get repaired, this item is worth every gold. Not only in higher raids but helps lots when doing a long Hobbs Way of Pulling session. Kill Gan'arg Analyzers fro a chance for this pattern to drop.

Now regarding our guild. I'm tired of people coming in to leech, looking for people who want to contribute, grow and have fun in the process. Send me an in game mail as tells tome don't always get answers. Our plans are to grow into SSC and TK. Of course we don;t want to stop there, but that's our next destination. Now when i said we don;t get carried by Tier5/6, we have had a few friends come in from time to time to fill holes that have better gear from other guilds. We do appreciate your help and by no means, mean that as an insult.

Till next time guys.

Gear Update Day 1

Hi Guys Hobbs Here! This video is finally out. I had to do it twice as the 1st time it did not flow as well as this video.

I mentioned in the video the quest for the Dabiri's Enigma can be found here. The quest can start at level 68, you will get it 100% upon completion and unlike the random chance to get the Adamantine Figurine from a random drop off of Blackheart the Inciter.

The Figurine of the Colossus is my favorite trinket and you will see many more pulls with it not only now, but definitely into the Litch King, unless something else better comes along.

Moroes is my favorite boss in Karazhan. I know alot of you are thinking there are better and harder bosses in Karazhan, but this one rocks because the improvement from my 1st time till now is huge. The 1st time we did this we were all newly geared and the figh was so confusing with everyone doing a differnt job and on a different target. we wiped alot, and when we did down him, it was a great victory. Then after I did my Romulo and Juliane 2 vs one on me, I got to thinking if I could tank all 5 in Moroes. Many told me it wasn't posible for various resons. Once I successfully Aoe'd him down, I never looked back. It's my only stragety with him. To see more on my Moroes stragety see the video here. Moroes' Lucky Pocket Watch was the trinket I used in this video to battle Prince Malchezaar, who dropped Malchazeen, Ruby Drape of the Mysticant, and Helm of the Fallen Champion.

I bought all the cards indivdualy off the AH. I would of bought the full deck if I saw one inexpensive enough.

Furies Deck makes Darkmoon Card: Vengeance, and I paid 1500g for the set.
Lunacy Deck makes Darkmoon Card:Madness and I paid 850g for the set.
Blessings Deck makes Darkmoon Card: Crusade and I paid 1400g for the set.

Total spent this video: 3750g

Tankadin is the mod I talk about and I do recommend it, and also for buffing recommend Pally Power.

Gnomergan - Back Door Run

1st off, I know my aura and blessing were not to my standards this vid. Over the last few months since I have started raiding it has drastically changed the way I play, and Improved the way I pull. So looking at this video is a good look back, not only to see the gear progression, but the skill. The whole time watching the video, I am my own worst critic....well not worst if you have seen some of the nasty posts on my youtube comments. I'm thinking cast Righteous defense now, change aura, and blessing... but in the end it works.

Another comment you'll see is on how I pronounce Gnomeregan. I know it's not the way it is properly pronounced, but you know what i like the sound of it.. and I figure it won;t change anything in RL or in the game.

Thank you all for being loyal viewers and subscribers.

Lately there has been more people joining my server to chat, and although I do appreciate every viewer, I cannot unfortunately chat with everyone. If you are planning on making my server a home, join the guild when the appropriate level and read my FAQ below on this page for more info.

During this short vid Crowd Pummeler 9-60 dropped Gnomebot Operating Boots, and Mekgineer Thermaplugg dropped the Thermaplugg's Central Core.

Gruul's Lair

The strategy I talked about to fight High King Maulgar can be read here. Read up on your specific role so you know it. Most boss fights are very easy if everyone is doing their jobs. 25 man Pugs can go really bad if not everyone is ready, so by reading in your spare time you'll be more prepared than the average player.

The King dropped in this video - Belt of Divine Inspiration ,Pauldrons of the Fallen Hero , Pauldrons of the Fallen Defender X 2

Gruul is fairly easy if you can stay away from the random cave ins and away from each other before you turn to stone. We grabbed his eye, gloves, and for some reason he wears 3 sets of pants. One pair of Hero and 2 pairs of Defender pants.

My last gear update was in this video, half way through.

Nightbane to SSC

Nightbane is considered the last boss of Karazhan because of this chain quest. At the end of the quest you recieve not only the Blackened Urn, but also Pulsing Amethyst, Soothing Amethyst, or Infused Amethyst.

To interrupt his fears make sure a Priest casts Fear Ward, a shaman cast the interrupting totem, pvp reward trinket etc... Warriors are great tanks as they have some built in abilities to resist fear. The macro I used can be done by typing /m to pen the macro screen then select new and a new icon for your macro then type in the following:

/cancelaura divine shield

/castaura divine shield

You need to hit the macro button twice quickly to make it work. I just spam hit it until I've seen the bubble come and go.

The last quest line is not necessary for everyone to have the key to open SSC, but it's a lot easier if you have it. The quest line is short and simple so you may as well get it here.

Items that dropped this video:

Nightbane : Ironstriders of Urgency - Panzar'Thar Breastplate - Emberspur Talisman - Robe of the Elder Scribes

Shade of Aran : Boots of the Infernal Coven - Shermanar Great Ring

Darkweaver Syth : Blessed Tanzanite - Don't forget if you're lvl 69+ and need a blue necklace grab the quest "Brother Against Brother" prior to killing him.

Grand Warlock Nethekurse - Luminous Fire Opal - You can see my full video on Shattered Halls here.

ZF 2008

I tried this a few times and sometimes they did path back. So this pull is hit or miss.

Here's last years ZF Video.

BRD Competed

Ok well this instance rocked, I've ran few times since last episode, and it's getting faster for me to pull now that I am getting more familar with it. The experience , vs loot , vs bosses is great not too much of one, or too little of another.



If you remember my Sunken Temple video, I talked a lot about time wasting moments. There are little to none in BRD. It's basically big pull, then a boss then repeat till you're at the end.



A lot of people are willing to run this, I find once people are past level 58, they forget about the original instances and head off to Outlands to never be seen again. Well this loot is prime, just before Outlands loot, so it will help them get there quicker.



These last 2 videos have felt more like the older Hobbs Way of Pulling videos, and have been fun to run and make. I have a few more videos in the future I am planning on making, and a few in the works. Just a little spoiler, I have a Kara Boss and Gear Update video coming.



See my Tech TV appearance in the video on their site. I'm sure the next time I'm on it will be more substantial. Unfortunatly, the video is no longer available. If anyone has a copy of it, let me know.



Well the loot that was dropped in this video I will link now.



Bael'Gar dropped Force of Magma



General Angerforge dropped Warstrife Leggings and Lord General's Sword



Golem Lord Argelmach dropped Omnicast Boots, and the trash around him dropped Schematic: World Enlarger



Hurley Blackbreath dropped Firemoss Boots



Plugger Spazzring dropped Mixologist's Tunic



Ambassador Flamelash dropped Molten Fists, Burst of Knowledge, Cape of the Salamander and the Flame Wrath.



Chest of the Seven contained Haunting Specter Leggings and Blood-etched Blade.



Magmus dropped Libram of Truth and the Lavastone Hammer



Emperor Dagran Thaurissan dropped the Hand of Justice, Sash of the Grand Hunt, The Emperor's New Cape, and the Guiding Stave of Wisdom.



Till next time guys...

Attack of the Show

So one of my viewers let me know they saw my vid on AOTS, which happens to be my favorite show. Thank goodness it's set up for my PVR. Well I'm not featured, but you can see the video here!

Unfortunatly, the video is no longer available. If anyone has a copy of it, let me know.

BRD part 2

Defend the king in stormreaver. If you're not on my server, feel free to do it on your own and record your event.

For more info, watch the end of this movie.


I also found this video today as well relating to the raid. It's good to see some alliance defending.

ZA

Enjoy guys, gone out for a bike ride, then tonight I am running some Heroics with some RL friends. I will do my write up on this tommorow morning (saturday). I did this one during the day,but didn't get much sleep last night, so I think I sound a bit tired.

I also have another video almost ready, hoping to have out the next few days.

Thank you for watching.

PVP Event

I'll post other peoples perspective here. Remember to keep the language clean.


How the Horde Saw the Event on Stormreaver (not my video)



More Horde Footage


Even another Horde View




More Horde Video..

Video from LAWLHOBBSFTW, if you pause my vid at 9:14 you'll see him there

PVP & Sunken Temple

Well this date (May26th) is approaching fast and I am hoping the word spreads fast and there's a huge turn out for a great battle.

I have all the info and maps on this event here.

Now, I know I have a few Sunken Temple clips from before on an earlier clip, but I never did the quick run through while power leveling.

Honestly, re-doing this for the video has been one of my least favorite experiences in a while. The instance was too big and the exp/loot reward for the time in there was not rewarding. Now if you don't bring a lvl 70 to power level it will be much more rewarding as you will get more exp in this case.

The loot that dropped during this video and who dropped it:

Gloves of the Atal'ai Prophet, Kilt of the Atal'ai Prophet, dropped from Jammal'an the Prophet.

Fist of the Damned and Blade of the Wretched dropped off of Ogom the Wretched

The Smoldering Claw and the Dawnspire Cord drops off of one of the four Dragonkin Hazzas, Morphaz, Dreamscythe, or Weaver.

Dragon's Eye, Horns of Eranikus, and the Crest of Supremacy all dropped from Shade of Eranikus.

Remember to grab the quest for the Essence of Eranikus , I used this item a ton up till the last few levels. For fun I put it back on from time to time, as it does so much AOE damage.

Lastly in the basement Darkwater Bracers dropped off of Atal'alarion. The Darkwater Bracers have a random enchant, the ones we looted in the video had a +21 Nature Spell Damage.

Moroes in Karazhan

This pull was awesome, and considering I have only been in Kara for a few months, quite impressive. I remember the 1st time our guild tried to do this fight and it was Chaos with multiple wipes. Now remember that we all were newly geared the 1st time, not having any Kara gear, nor Tier 6's running us through. So to gear up so fast as a guild is great.

This footage is from the most recent Kara run and right now we have 2 full guild runs a week, and a third one will be forming as more of our 70s gear towards Kara.

Of course we will be moving to other raids now as this one is becoming standard.

Thank you to many of my viewers for the suggestions to make many of my pulls possible. And once again, sorry I can't respond to all e-mails or in game tells... See my FAQ for more info.

Moroes dropped the Signet of Unshakable Faith and the Nethershard Girdle. I was hoping for the Moroes' Lucky Pocket Watch which is on my current wish list on the bottom right hand corner of my blog.

Baroness Dorothea Millstipe was our 1st target due to her mana burn. After that the mutiple AOE and using Blessing of Sacrifice on the off tank kept me from being Gouged (stunned). You can also use Blessing of Sacrifice on any cast who receives Garrote which is a bleeding effect that does damage over time, this spell will lessen the effects of Garrote.

The Rogue's Way

Well Stratholme I have 3 videos out on that instance for those of you new to it. You can find them here. Part1, Part2 and Part3.

The Epic mount I had hoped to have dropped was the Deathcharger's Reins.

The daily quest I was working on was the Ata'mal Armaments

I traded in my 100 badges for the Chestplate of Stoicism , I also want to get the Shattrath Protectorate's Breastplate in the future for the added spell damage.

Spring Cleaning in Orgrimmar PVP Event

Monday May 26th 2008 we will leave Ratchet at 6:45, and attack the front doors of Orgrimmar. Our goal is to see how many horde we can kill and rack up our honor points fast. Hopefully there will be some defending it, as it will help with our goal. Once inside, stick together tightly and move as an organized unit. Remember if you make a video, include this blog site so people will know where to find it. I will not have all the videos made, but simply the best ones for my regular visitors to watch.


Anyone on my server who cannot make the above raid, I will have a pre-raid party in Karahnos at 6:00PM. It will be a short gathering, but it will be a clip in my version of the battle. Here is a downloadable map that you can post on your desktop background as a reminder. Just click on it, then right click and set as desktop background.





As more news on this event unfolds I will update my blog.

Scholomance

Correction: I meant to say I'm collecting the furies deck, not the lunacy deck, although I may get the lunacy deck later for fun.

Well this video I did it a bit differently, as many players are familiar with my style of playing. If this is your 1st Hobbs Way of Pulling video, you may want to see my others, and a great place to start is my 1st video.

I talk a lot about guild banks and growing as a guild. I have been in my guild for a long time, building strong bonds and teams that will pay off in the long run.


The Paladin Quest can be found here. It's harder to do now, because alot of players are higher levels so finding groups in lower levels to do Scholo are harder. Many are passing it to get to the Outlands. Yes, the gear in the Outlands is far superior in those instances, but to have warlocks or paladins hit Scholo or Dire Maul for their epic mount. Now there are other ways to receive an epic mount, like PVP rewards.

To enter Scholo, you do need the key (Alliance or Horde). I figured with all the quest videos I've done lately, I'd ease up and bring out this one to my roots, so instead of including the key portion in this video check out the link instead.

The Warlock Epic Mount quest can be found here.

Now to show the loot that dropped in this video:


Rattlegore dropped Shadowcraft Boots.
Jandice Barov ended up dropping the Phantasmal Cloak.

Wildheart_Belt dropped off a random trash mob, which is weird, because this BOE usually drops off of The Ravenian

Ras Frostwhisper dropped Ras Frostwhisper and Maelstrom Leggings.

Doctor Theolen Krastinov kindly left us Cadaverous Leggings.

Lord Alexei Barov donated the Necropile Robe.

Darkmaster Gandling was nice enough to give us 2 items, Coif of Elements and Vigorsteel_Vambraces.

Thank you very much for watching. I have been putting more time into playing lately, which has made it harder to make the videos. I do respect your subscribership, so I will put in more time to bring out decent content to my site. Some of the clips may be shorter but more frequent.



Hobbs

Romulo and Julianne

The Karazhan prequest videos part1 and part2 are now both out!

Karazhan Part 2

The other video released today can be found here.

And the Part 1 to this can be found here.

Karazhan's Masters Key

So far I am enjoying Karazhan, and will have more videos out for you in the future. The Masters Key is a simple quest and if you're going to these dungeons anyways, might as well get the key, even though in patch 2.4 the key won't be as necessary.

After you talk with Archmage Alturus, he will give you 2 quests Arcane Disturbances and Restless Activity, where you collect Underground Well Reading and 10 Ghostly Essences. After completing head to Shattrath and speak to Khadgar, who will then send you to Dalaran to speak with Archmage Cedric, who will ask you to return to see Khadgar.

Now begins your first fragment collection in the Shadow Labyrinth. Prior to heading to the Shadow Labyrinth, I went to Sethekk Halls where I received the Libram of the Eternal Rest off of Darkweaver Syth. We went there to receive the Shadow Labyrinth Key. Off the end boss Talon King Ikiss, Aydan who was level 66 at the time received the Crow Wing Reaper and the Shoulderpads of Assassination dropped as well.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz
I posted this late at night, I will have my full write up on it tomorrow guys, thank you for watching.

Sorry I still haven't updated the text part of my blog. It is on my to do list. And now that I have my laptop back up and running, it should be more obtainable.

Here is part 2 to the above video!!
