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.
