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.
