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.
