Extreme Mining in Wintergrasp

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I am loitering in Dalaran waiting for the portal to be opened to Lake Wintergrasp, in a full raid of people eager to assault the fortress and displace the Horde defenders. Getting a little impatient, and wondering if I could grab some ore from Wintergrasp before the battle begins, I ride to Krasus's Landing and […]

Sapphire, Ambassador of the Alliance

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Despite being of draenei ancestry I find there are benefits to have been brought to Azeroth. Whilst our Elekk mounts are big and powerful creatures they are not as elegant as I would like, so it was exciting to see that the night elves nearby had trained sabre cats as mounts. I moved on from […]

Ninja of the Violet Hold

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Quite fancying something more rewarding than wandering around Dragonblight I put a call out that I am looking for a group, either to purge The Old Kingdom of bugs or to quell the uprising in the Violet Hold. Either way, as a protection warrior I am looking to tank. It isn't long before I am […]

Gnomesblight's Minion Abuse

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Running around Howling Fjord as a death knight is a lot of fun. It is great to have a second chance of helping the Alliance, having turned my back on the Lich King, but old habits die hard, I suppose. When no one is looking I occasionally poke a squirrel in the eye, or pee […]

It's Got to Leave a Mark

There is no doubt that those blue dragon eggs found in Coldarra, similar to the netherwing eggs, look stylistically cool, but can you imagine laying one? Ouch.

Gnomesblight hits 70

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

After reaching 68th level and finally mining enough adamantite to raise my death knight's blacksmithing skill up to 350 I take Gnomesblight to Howling Fjord to train as a grand master blacksmith and to start adventuring in Northrend. The quests given in Valgarde for Wyrmskull Village are fairly straightforward, including the follow-up quests that take […]

Gnomesblight Finds Adventure

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

Taking a break from hours of mining I take Gnomesblight, my Death Knight, to Blade's Edge Mountains for quests and excitement. I work my way through the quests given at Sylvanar and return later to head across the valley to find the gnomes of Toshley's Station. At Toshley's Station I am asked to test a […]

You Are Not Prepared!

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Waiting for the boat to Howling Fjord, we are given a stern warning. [Derky] says: None of you are prepared. [Tiger] says: I feel prepared. [Kadrim] says: Did you cancel the papers? [Tiger] says: The papers! Dammit. [Tiger] says: I am not prepared. [Derky] says: I forgot to cancel the milk!

It's Not Just Quest Text

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

'Hey, Sapphire, this guy is Gorefiend, isn't he?' 'Why do you think that?' 'Just a feeling. We gave him the items he asked for, and now he's wearing them.' 'Wow, I never noticed that. I've done the quest three times, I really should pay more attention.'

Karma

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

The scourge invasion heralding the arrival of the Lich King has called many to arms, to join the Argent Dawn in trying to repel the undead threat. Large, floating necropoles have appeared throughout Azeroth, spawning beneath them crystals of necrotic power and small armies of undead. Most of the undead are the rank and file […]
