Why? Because It’s Red

WOOHOO!

Red Qiraji Resonating Crystal Drop

Why? Because It's Red

I’ve been running Temple of Ahn’Qiraj for the last several weeks hoping that the Red Qiraji Resonating Crystal would drop before I died trying to solo the Twin Emperors. No such luck until tonight when I finally mustered the courage to fight the twins again. Taking tips from a Wowhead poster, I focused on Vek’nilash, backed up against a wall and stayed alive using Death Strike and Death Siphon repeatedly (all in Blood Presence). My efforts were rewarded with access to the passageways leading up to C’Thun where the trash dropped the mount I needed for the Feat of Strength.

Oh, I also got a neat little pet from the twins:

Anubisath Idol

Small consolation for a crappy week, but a welcome one, nonetheless.

New Year’s Resolution 2013

Resolution. Singular. Just one for 2013 and I chose the most colossal task there is:

To get my Insane in the Membrane achievement before the end of the year!

Insane

Wish me luck!

Dynamic Duo!

WOOT! Got my alliance hunter to level 90 and got two sweet cheevos for my effort. :)

That’s another 45 achievement points to my credit. I plan to make this hunter my PvP toon as today I rediscovered the joys of PvPing as a ranged class. I also got a lot of PvP practice outside BGs today when I — a Hordie at heart — absentmindedly flew into the Horde capital in Vale of the Eternal Blossoms and got my Draenei ass whupped to Kingdom come. Note to self: stop flying around on semi-autopilot mode.

Alright, folks, back to my DK for some auction house PvP’ing. Some ass clown keeps undercutting me. >.<

Oh, and here’s wishing y’all a Happy New Year in advance!

Glorious!

Yesssssss!!!

Havak - Glorious

Camped Havak – the last rare I needed – for 15 minutes and the second he appeared I dashed towards him faster than a bunch of paparazzi swarming over Kate Middleton.

Muchas gracias, NPCScan! And thank you too, warlock Marienna of Exodar, who helped me kill most of the rares on the list. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Mystically Epic

Oh thank goodness, I got rid of my last blue piece! I obtained Iron Belly Wok to replace Lessons of the Darkmaster.

Mystically Epic

The latter was nice for an insane burst of DPS out of the gate but I prefer having passive strength. Theorycrafters might call me out here but meh, that’s just me.

And after wielding an ungemmed Shin’ka, Execution of Dominion for weeks, my weapon now has a +500 strength gem courtesy of the Black Prince.

Breath of the Black Prince

I’ve heard of people who got flak for socketing epic gems into their Raid Finder weapons but hey, if you can afford to pay 10K for a new epic gem when you obtain a better weapon, I say to hell with what they think and do what you believe is best to get the most DPS out of your current weapon.

Besides, with all the (insert expletive here + ing) dailies we do, there’s no way we can ever go broke!
