WoW gold Grrl’s Warcraft Gold Guide for World of Warcraft-www.hisgoldwow.com

Hey, folks! What are you doing sitting on the couch playing Left 4 Dead again? The new patch is out! You’re not going to let a bit of lag and a few instance server crashes keep you from storming Icecrown Citadel, are you? Just look at this dude! He’s sitting here, waving his spiky club and inexplicably blunt wooden axe, just taunting you. Are you going to take that from an undead Viking dude? Get in there and defend your honor! (Thanks to Azulsyr of <No Remorse> on Gilneas for the pic.) Do you have any unusual, beautiful or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We’d love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@gmail.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next! Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word “Azeroth” in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the

Juice really shouldn’t be warm; but doesn’t M just look so happy? It almost makes it okay, although that’s primarily because it’s not my juice. The Scout Report: #88, Scout is back to being Scout! Well, sort of. #89, and I’m trying not to imagine the sprocket party too. NPC: Breaking News. This totally ruins our next April Fools Day! Sensibilities. I’m jealous of your turkey pet, for I was tragically unable to participate. Special. Teh Gladiators: T-t-t-eee? Dark Legacy Comics: Crappy Table. Da!ly Quests: Revenge is Sweet. LFG #309 and #310.

We can’t believe it either – Turpster has been let loose on WoW.com to bring you videos from in and around the World of Warcraft! You’ve heard him on the WoW Insider Show, and now see him on TurpsterVision right here on WoW.com. So it’s Black Friday for a lot of you guys out there — Happy Thanksgiving for yesterday and yes, my Turkey was awesome thanks for asking! A day for picking up electrical bargains and stopping The Intersect falling into Fulcrum’s hands — I’ll be honest, my knowledge of Black Friday stems pretty much directly from episodes of Chuck. I was lucky enough to have my latest purchase come through today and I am super stoked to be able to show you guys, Chen Stormstout! This guys is many kinds of huge — some say he looks like a fat Gene Simmons, I don’t see that being a bad thing since The Demon is also pretty awesome (though he’s no Starchild). Standing over 8″ tall and weighing in at 4.5 lbs, this guy is built to impress. The detailing is beyond anything I’ve seen on my previous DC

Monday wasn’t only the fifth anniversary of World of Warcraft, it also kicked off the 15th anniversary of the Warcraft property at large (which makes sense — you might remember that the original WoW intro started off with “Ten Years of Warcraft“). And so Blizzard has created a brand new minisite to commemorate the occasion — they’ve got a full video interview with many of the staff members (no women, though, Blizzard — what’s the deal there?), and there are other Blizzard and community interviews coming as well. They’ve also got a feature called the “Battlecry Mosaic,” in which they’re inviting fans to take pictures of themselves showing Horde or Alliance pride with printable logos, which will then be assembled into a mosaic of up to 20,000 pictures. That should be a sight to see — it’ll eventually all be posted online, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see something like it at the next BlizzCon also. Neth also says that whoever reaches set limits on pictures will get a faction exclusive piece

We’ve been seeing this GDKP thing sneak up on the forums and elsewhere a lot lately, and while Scott has mentioned it (in a somewhat disparaging way, in fact), we haven’t really taken a good look at it yet. So let’s do so. GDKP stands for Gold DKP, which is kind of a mishmash of acronyms. DKP, or Dragon Kill Points, are a very popular way of determining loot division in a raid — the concept dates back to earlier MMOs, and involves players earning points per boss kill that they can then spend on gear. We’ve talked about other DKP systems before. But rather than awarding loot based on arbitrary points, Gold DKP, as you may have guessed, instead gives loot to the player willing to pay the most gold… to the other players in the raid. The way it works is this: You go into an instance, say Naxx, and everyone knows ahead of time that it is a “GDKP run,” or a “gold run,” or a “cash run.” You down the first boss, and Webbed Death drops. The master looter then takes bids of gold on the item (this can be done via public

So, wait a minute. If Strength on leather gear is going away in Cataclysm, how are feral druid tanks going to be itemized? Ghostcrawler’s got it handled. We talked about druids in bear form also getting AP from strength. Strength won’t appear on leather and no piece should have Str and Agi together, so it’s not like they would really double dip. That lets us still have tanking necks, rings and cloaks with strength on them that are attractive to all 4 tanking classes. Ghostcrawler, you machine, you. First you tell us that all of these stats are just plain goin’ away in Cataclysm, and now you give us specifics? Such an industrious crab. But how is this change going to be carried out? Turns out he’s got something to say about that, too. Almost all the items in the game are going to have to change. In many cases this is just a sweeping pass we can make on all gear, such as replacing the Agi + AP on leather with just Agi. So don’t worry too much about what happens with old gear and talents mixed with the new stat system. The gear and talents in

And so we find ourselves at the threshold of another Arcane Brilliance, the weekly mage column that conjures the very best the world of magic and mystery has to offer, then sets it on fire and hurls it at a warlock. Something I wanted to throw out there before we begin: I’m lazy. It’s difficult to find pictures every week for this column. Thus, I no longer wish to do it. Therefore, I am extending an open invitation to you, my fellow mages everywhere, to do my job for me. I formally request–nay, demand–your screenshots. That’s right: if you ever had the desire to see your mage featured prominently at the beginning of a sentient, warlock-hating mage column, this is your chance. Ground rules: Mage-pictures only. If you try to slip in a picture of a warlock and pass it off as a mage, I will hack your Twitter account and then make a series of embarrassing tweets on it, like “My genital fungus really burns today…I wonder if I’ve been scratching it too much,” “Quick tip, everybody: bacne + shaving back-hair = an awful way to

Welcome to the latest Arcane Brilliance, the weekly mage column that is your absolute best source for all things mage. Leveling guides? Talent spec guides? Loot guides? PvP guides? Profession guides? Random, vindictive, mean-spirited, and wholly superfluous warlock-bashing? Check, check, check, check, check, and CHECK. Arcane Brilliance has all your mage needs covered. And the leveling parade continues! Your mage is level 30 and you’ve grown in your mastery of the magical arts. Your Fireballs are now significantly more likely to set your enemies aflame than they are to go off in your face, you now arrive at your teleport destinations with your extremities more or less intact, and small children no longer cry at the sight of the pastries you conjure. In celebration of our new-found competence, we’ll be changing the content of these leveling columns a bit. We’ll no longer be giving each two-level gap its own blurb. Instead, we’ll be covering each new spell as it comes, and every major milestone at the appropriate point. If that means that more than two
