anyone playing on the Ruin battlegroup?

6/9/2009 12:24:17 AM

<--- I only really pvp on the horde side unless it's for a holiday achievement or something.

6/9/2009 1:55:53 PM

i'm sensing another long break coming up for me...

6/9/2009 2:14:54 PM

im on ruin, a bunch of us are on medivh

my mains are on Shattered Hand now

6/9/2009 5:41:58 PM

^ Come help me farm a few BC instances on the horde side!

6/9/2009 6:55:11 PM

lol, well my horde toons on medivh ARE 70...

6/9/2009 9:58:33 PM

Exactly! I am 1/5 of the way done. I know I can solo Pathaleon in Mechanar so I only really need help with the Dark Portal, Murmur and Arcatraz possibly. (I am trying to get my rogue the assassination set. )

6/10/2009 3:27:20 AM

i'm bored lately. is this game worth getting into? heh.

6/10/2009 10:52:54 AM

flying mounts at 60 next patch.

6/11/2009 9:56:39 AM

I'm more excited about the faction discount on epic flying skill. I'm still saving up for that one.

Oh, and my existing flying speed will jump from 60% to 150%.

i'm excited that i didnt buy epic flying on my alt yet.


now i probably wont. 60-280 was worth the 5k, 150-280 not so much.

6/11/2009 10:39:59 AM

huh

I would like to completely disagree. I would also wager that if they allowed 280->310 (on non-specialty mounts) for an extra 5k gold, it could still be worth it. 5k gold is a complete joke.

Can I have some gold?

I'm doing ok now that I'm making frostweave bags and selling extra spellweave, but the AH market tanks regularly on my server.

My nights are now (if I'm not raiding or something): Hodir Dailies, Dalaran+Shattratth Fishing and Cooking Dailies, then farming harpies in Storm Peaks for Relics, frostweave, and green items to turn into dust.

Oh and if Horde has WG, then I'm farming eternals and frost lotuses..

So I make like 75g off of the dailies, and spike 60-100 gold when something sells on the AH. Besides playing the "buy low, sell high" game on the AH, what's a better way to make gold?

-Specifically farming for eternals seems like a bad use of time since the market is ridiculously flooded with them due to the ease to obtain them through mining and herbalism.

-Farming harpies for Relics doesn't seem like a very good use of time either. Get a solid group for instancing and run the SP instances. I'd wager you'd get more relics, greens, and cloth doing zerg runs. Not to mention the nifty boss gold and potential shards.

-I haven't done the math on this, but I can make a fair amount of gold in ZG by just killing a few bosses (mount run). Bosses drop ~10g a pop, not to mention items. Rich Thorium is killer in there since I can sell it for 60-80g per stack. Add in random BoE greens that now sell for 1-3g a pop (I think they buffed this) and its not so bad. My GF and I 2-man 4 bosses in about 30 minutes.

-You can make a LOT of money raiding lvl 80 instances such as Naxx, assuming you have a competent group that can quickly kill content with minimal dying.

join a raiding guild and spend DKP on uldar25 BoE items.

6/11/2009 2:32:10 PM

We alternate between Naxx10 and the first few bosses of Uld.

I farm the harpies because they drop relics and cloth and boe greens to have an enchanter de into infinite dust. I don't get shit for cloth or boe items in 5 mans or especially raids.

I don't farm eternals to sell. I just farm enough shadow and fire for my next cooldown on cloth.

I'm in mostly naxx10 and vendor gear now and I don't remember making a lot of money on raids, even 25 mans. BoE items are very rare and I've never actually won the roll for one.

My wife and daughter may not like that kind of time constraint.

I guess I should be happy with ~100g a night.

6/11/2009 2:57:37 PM

the argent tournament dailies take about 30min and once you've "doubled up" pay about 250g

6/11/2009 3:33:40 PM

Honestly... dailies....

Start with Argent tourny dailies (you can get 7 that pay upwards of ~250g) and these take ~30 minutes to do once you get em down pat.

Then while you're over in Nw Howling Fjord for the sword quest, drop by the northern Grizzly Hills for those dailies. No one is ever there and there are 4 that take about 10 minutes to complete (another 40g).

Do the fishing and cooking dailies (~20g guaranteed with possibility of purple gem that sells for a ton and gray items that sell for a ton.. I got the 100g one again yesterday).

I do this whole circuit in just over an hour and get over 300g. Keeps me repaired for my fail-on-Mimiron guild.

No shit, I haven't even touched the Argent Tournament yet.

If you're talking about the Blue Sky Lodge dailies, I like those.
Fishing and cookings are already in the rotation. I'm already Salty and I want Chef too.

I'll add Argent Tourney to my rotation.

I hate to admit it but I was in best buy today and well.... installing now after nearly a year sober

6/12/2009 6:50:00 PM

THEY ALWAYS COME BACK

6/13/2009 3:04:06 AM

Yesterday, I quit my guild of nearly 2 years that I had become the Raid Leader of... Now I'm on the #1 guild on the server.... boy did I piss off some people.... but, this is why I don't play with RL friends. I'm not too worried about it.

6/15/2009 12:38:49 PM

Do you feel like a big man now that you're "on the #1 guild on the server"?

6/15/2009 1:25:39 PM

Did you make sure to take all the funds and items out of the gbank?

i know atleast 4 guild banks that have been ninja'd on Mug'thol and no one got banned.


hell one guy lost 67k gold bc the guild bankwas also on the acct with his main.

6/16/2009 12:51:39 AM

4t FL is ridiculously easy now.
We got our first kills of XT hardmode and Hodir hard mode in 25man last night

6/17/2009 7:20:02 AM

^ lol same

two shot 4 tower, 1 shot XT hard mode, and got hodir hard mode.

6/17/2009 2:14:24 PM

wtb back our good players that are traveling/whatever this summer. Fail heals + under preforming dps = stopped 25s progression.

6/17/2009 2:19:27 PM

For 10 man, how do you guys control the nature adds? We did 3 towers easily, but in 4 towers we only got to 25%. Half the time I didn't even see the adds on me until they were already beating on me (Demolisher).

From what I hear 25 man is easier, but I find that my 10 mans are MUCH easier to control.

XT hardmode is awesome as a feral druid. It's like a 10+ minute target dummy. Hodir hardmode should also go down tonight.

Nature on 10, we had one Siege pick up adds. Get the giant lashers and run them through a tar fire. The Siege engine can tank the giants for a little while, otherwise a tar bike can help out there.

Our 25 strat for the Tar was one bike going in a circle dropping one near every corner (near being like 40 yards out) and 1 or 2 Sieges controlling. Totally regret not doing this when it was hard - the strat is pretty simple and I love this fight.


Anyone do Steelbreaker on 25? How do you handle the one shots from SB if you leave the Runemaster up and a rune spawns on SB as he casts Fusion punch?

Emblems of Conquest for everyone! Weeeee!

6/19/2009 2:22:46 PM

Ret paladin changed are... I don't know.

Holy changes almost make me want to go back to healing, but we will have to see.

I'm hoping steady PvE dps is going to go up.

6/19/2009 4:54:48 PM

the change with eclipse for moonkins is interesting. should be a fairly significant dps boost

6/19/2009 7:00:43 PM

And kitty dps gets nerfed back into obscurity. Well, it was fun while it lasted.

^^according to elitistjerks, its only gonna come to about a 2-4% dps drop though...i just dont understand why they're doin it.

6/20/2009 10:33:51 AM

because scrub ferals are beating good rogues rather handily because the armor pen issue was never implemented properly (they never put in the cap) and because they're scaling too well. that's why their base was nerfed, not their overall damage.
