A Big YAHOOOO to Lycanthrope for His BIG ding to Level 70, Now that He has made it to the Big Elite I guess we will look for him chasing away a big band of Horde and he (saps)-(backstabs)and (applies Poison).
I feel so left out i remember helping him when he was in STV and a lower level than me. /cry
I created a new page with some, hopefully, helpful information on Add-ons for the World of Warcraft. If you want to add any of your favorite add-ons, put it in the comment of this post and I’ll put in on. You can either go through the FAQs page or follow this link: http://www.eyesoftheeast.net/faqs/add-ons/.
I also recreated our “Rules” page and named it “Policy”. For those that are interested I didn’t do this after our ex-member incident. I had it in the works prior to all of that, just never got around to fiddling with it and posting it. http://www.eyesoftheeast.net/policy.
I just wanna give a shout out to my friend, snowmaiden. I found out (while playing this weekend) that we have a lot in common. She’s a mother and I’m a father. She does have more experience than I do, but it’s always nice to find other parents playing WoW. I some times feel alone in this great big world of Azeroth! Most of the folks I hear on podcasts, etc are young people or married couples with no kids (makes a big difference for gaming).
/salute my friend! Snowmaiden!
Well not really, but I did finally ding to level 30! The funny thing is I lagged, dinged, and died in that order. I’m still using my IBM Thinkpad R40 to game, work, entertain, etc. My 550Watt power supply came today so when I get home and put the kids to bed I’ll have a brand new computer to put together and dual-boot with Windows Vista and SUSE Linux.
OK; back to Azeroth. I’ve had some really bad lagg issues (not network related either, my CPU goes crazy at certain times). I haven’t figure out what it is, I’m guessing it’s when an event loads for that zone or when Horde and Alliance toons are killing each other in great numbers my laptop’s lack of processing power picks up on it and totally choaks! I was in Raven Hill Cemetary while this happened. I was 2% away from dinging when this lagg issue started. I wanted to turn off my computer, but I was so close. I started out that night being 30% so I progressed 70% that night - I was pretty focused. I wanted to try and get away from the high-population areas since I only needed 500 more exp. to ding. I fought one of the undead and lagged really badly, but I knew I killed him, but when the lagg slowed down (no punn intended) I was dead and I saw that bastard Mor’Ladim walking away from me… I think I saw him laugh!
That was it, I said, “forget it!” and logged out - but I am now level 30. I no longer have that stigma that my priest is weak and totally sucks bawls! I’m starting to confidently take on level 30 mobs at 28-29 with no problems. I can certainly keep alive taking on two, but I want to be able to wipe them out completely!
The Order of Sterling is hosting another social role-play event, in-game. It’s a public event and the details are below or on their site. It’s my wife’s birthday, that day, so I won’t be logged in at all (/sob).
Disclaimer: I am doing this just to keep the information alive. For any reason if the sites I’m referencing goes down then this awesome information for priests will be lost. I got this guide from Free Warcraft Guides. Most of the information is the same, but I made modifications here and there. It also looks like this was made prior to Burning Crusade and in Alliance zones (sorry Horde, your priests are on their own). If I can I’ll update it periodically if I find that something works better.
This tip is on how to level a priest (sorry for the picture mix up above) in alliance zones. The idea is NOT to grind all day, you get more experience points by completing quests and grinding at the same time. [I don't know what this sentence means] Do very few quests from level 30 to level 52. Then do quests as quickly as you possibly can until you ding at 60.
We all have our “dream” end-game spec., but I’ve learned that while leveling it’s best work on the talent spec. that will give you the most damage per second (DPS). You can respect at any time, it just costs more money each time. So; for priests - go the “shadow” priest route and then when you get to level 70+ you can respect to what you really want your priest’s talents to be.
Where: Southeast Duskwood (Tranquil Gardens Cemetary)
Mobs: Level 21-23 Skeleton Warriors/Mages
Comments: The area is packed with mobs and has a fast respawn rate. Should get around 18,000 EXP/hour here. Do the quest titled “The Night Watch” because it is a really good grinding quest. Pretty close to the graveyard.
Where: Northwest Duskwood (Raven Hill Cemetary)
Mobs: Level 23-25 Skeletal Fiends/Horrors
Comments: If this area is packed with players, you can always jump over to the Ghoul area north of the Skeleton area. Watch out for Mor’Ladim. The second “Night Watch” quest is here. Raven Hill is rather far away from the graveyard; don’t die as you will have a long walk.
