Why Didn't I leave earlier?

2009-02-17T14:52:00.000-08:00

Monday afternoon.... Two more 25 man heroic raids.... 25 man OS, and 25 man VOA....

And got a Trinket that is..... awesome!!!! Fury of the Five Flights WOOT!!!

went from 0 emblems of valor to 8 in two days!!!

Had i spoke up I probably would have gotten in a H VH today too!!!

Now i must get a better weapon or two!!!! Gotta do better DPS!!!

Big Improvement

Well, moved to another Guild, and Whammo 1000 percent better. I have been very busy this week, and didnt really log on Sunday... But when i did, I saw opportunities to do some raiding... Monday came around and I was signed up and ready to do 25 man Naxx. In the group of people i saw signed up I kept thinking no way they would include me... They had several non ranged DPS, including a Fury warrior better geared... Well I got in and we downed two bosses and I got two emblems of Valor... and of course the achievement for getting your first one because in Mythos I never got into one of the raids that gives them.
On a side note about Mythos putting in that rating system.... they added some more info...

"We'll be posting some more information on how it really works soon. We will not be using this for 10 man raiding, only 25. Tuesdays are the first day of our 25 man raid nights. Being on and available and ready (and having signed up) on Tuesday and Wednesday by 6pm server time will make sure you get the most EP (Effort Points) you can."

This is better, but it would still whack me good, as I currently can log on on those days...

When a guild has to go to this type of Mod, I wonder what is going on in the background... "Hey GM, this is X, I log in every night, do every raid and then when we roll on items I always lose..." It also stinks of elitism... Ultimately though, a guild master runs and controls his guild and it should exist for his desires.... That is why I didn't bitch too much and just left... Mythos was for someone else, other than me...

Back to Naxx, got Legplates of Double Strikes . They are a slight improvement over Staggering Legplates. I probably should have passed as another DPS player had much inferior gear... I might end up not using the new legplates as the old one gives me better hit. Must learn to talk it up better before the roll.

wow!

Looks like I left Mythos just in time.... Before my head would have exploded!!! Now they are implementing a Mod EPGP...a Effort/Gear reward system. Gee, let me guess... I am lucky enough to get in a raid on a Sunday or Monday...(the only two days I can get on during the time they raid) and then don't get on for a month because they do not invite me the next 3 weeks i log on and wait... (every Sunday and Monday on those weeks) I then get a piss poor rating, and get last choice or no choice...

"Raiding...Peeps who wish to do 25 man raids with us, please go out and get EPGP addon.. You can pick it up from Curse you also need this one too.. .. Also don't forget to make sure you have deadly boss mods and Ora2. If we get far enough into Naxx25, you will also need Frost Resist Gear.."

Oh got all those things.... Frost resist? Yep, got that a loooong time ago.... Didnt need it though... have to get invited.

Yet My effort is impeccable. For example I logged in for the last two months EVERY sunday and monday...at 6pm server time when they do raids... Waiting and willing to do a raid.... I got into one late raid in those two months...

So fantastic... a reward system that rewards those that get invited....

Stalled on quest for better gear...

2009-01-24T13:36:00.000-08:00

It has been over a month since I have gotten a new Item.... Haven't gotten in a raid or instance in that time as well... ( unless you count the one time I got in NAXX but we didnt down the first boss)

So Alittle self inventory.... What is my gear, and what are my options for better DPS gear...

Helm.

Currently wearing Spiked Titansteel Helm. I have it enchanted with Arcanum of Torment, Socketed with Chaotic Skyflare Diamond. According to MaxDPS.com I have one upgrade possibility. Obsidian Greathelm. Gotta do 25 man OS for that... I think my guild runs that on tuesday nights... I am at work then, so I dont see that happening.

Neck.

Wearing Titanium Impact Choker - only way to get a better neck piece... Run NAX.

Shoulders.

Here is one area I have more than one option to be able to improve it... I am currently wearing Savage Saronite Pauldrons that I enchanted with Greater Inscription of Vengeance from the Aldor.

I will continue this later... must sleep.... work work work...

2008-09-30T07:57:00.000-07:00

Will Blacksmiths final get some value? Will we finally have people rushing to ask us to do something for them? This gives me hope. Oh and lookie all the new ore and gems!!!!! Must level up and get ready for the push!!!! I want new ore to mine!!!!

2008-09-30T07:35:00.000-07:00

2008-09-30T00:47:00.000-07:00

Last week I decided to get the Burning Rage set plans... Just got the third piece.... Now I just need the brestplate.... No one from my guild was online for me to "woot" about it... now to level blacksmithing to 365 so i can make these then max out BS.

2008-09-29T09:18:00.000-07:00

Currently trying to get the plans for the Burning rage set....

Fel iron ore.

2008-05-20T10:24:00.000-07:00

Woot... Hearthed over to Shattrath City to get a screenshot of kirbside getting there and I noticed a mineral vein showing up on my mini map.... Jumped down and got three.... Now a Worg ended up killing me as i tried toget back in the city but I still got my first Fel Iron!!!! Woot Woot!

Shattrath city baby!!!

2008-05-20T10:07:00.000-07:00

I had to get to Honor Hold to upgrade my mining or I would have stalled at 300. Currently 306 mining... 180 blacksmithing... Level 52!!!

Caverns of Time

2008-05-05T07:19:00.000-07:00

Well the one thing about Kirbside is he likes to travel and see areas of the map he shouldnt be in, or can't get in...

Today I finished a couple of quest in tanaris and noticed areas of the map I had'nt "disacovered"... The one that stood out the most was the caverns of time... Walking up I see an Elite 53 dragon named Tick... Ignored him then walked up and into the cavern.... Felt like my first time doing the "its a small world" ride in disneyland... was cool up and until I noticed I cant get into any of the instances.... Nathan, my 4 year old son, injoyed the dragons...

Almost to level 49...

Gahrie has joined.

2008-05-04T05:21:00.001-07:00

Gahrie has join WOW, as well as my alliance Mythos... Just been three days but he is already a level 15 warrior...

First Epic item drop for me....

2008-04-30T20:39:00.000-07:00

A couple of days ago I was just killing some guys in Tanaris... and clicked on a body to loot it... I have autoloot on so all I saw was a flash of purple.... Woot...

Sold it for 225 gold. I think thats a good price, if not thats what i get for being a Newbie.
