Sapphire Charges to 66th Level

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

{lang: ‘en-GB’}Experience can be gained by killing mobs, completing quests, and exploring the world. There is only so much of the world to see, and quests generally require some spilling of blood, so experience points are most regularly gained by killing mobs. That is, when the mob dies. Because of this, I was taken quite [...]

Sapphire the Protection Warrior v3.02

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

{lang: ‘en-GB’}The world has changed again and I woke up with a pain of respeccing, even though I thankfully hadn’t paid for the headache. Not only do I have to choose all my talents again but many are changed and some are new. It is not too much of a chore as I only really [...]

Marking Profession Achievements

Monday, October 13th, 2008

{lang: ‘en-GB’}In an effort to keep their professions relevant both Knifey and Sapphire manage to train their first aid skill up to the old skill cap of 300, and a bit of work sees them both reach skill level 300 with cooking as well. On top of that, Sapphire is able to create enough rings [...]

Separated at Birth?

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

{lang: ‘en-GB’}Does someone have access to the barber shop before it is open? Even so, what’s he doing with my face? And my ram? I need a lie down.

Sapphire’s Choice

Monday, October 6th, 2008

{lang: ‘en-GB’}Having made the journey to the Outlands it would be foolish not to risk travelling the road to Shattrath City, where I can set my hearthstone to take advantage of portals to every capital city in Azeroth, particularly when I have recently considered the utility of the decision to keep my home at the [...]

Sapphire Enters the Outlands

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

{lang: ‘en-GB’}After hearing Knifey talk of his first step through the Dark Portal to visit the Outlands, with its strange new creatures and otherworldly landscapes, I have been keen to see the new world for myself. Having explored most of Azeroth and defeated many of its deadliest denizens I feel prepared to face a greater [...]

Sapphire’s Brewfest Adventure

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

{lang: ‘en-GB’}After being told about Knifey’s disappointing time at Brewfest last week I had planned to give it a miss, but Damacy showed me her cute Wolpertinger pet and I wanted one for myself. As the festival was still in full swing and peasants were encouraging me to visit I decided to take some time [...]

Knifey’s Brewfest Adventure

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

{lang: ‘en-GB’}When Knifey was working his way towards getting a ram, and avoiding the mechanostrider as much as possible, Melmoth helpfully pointed out that the popular Brewfest in October offers a swift ram mount that can be gained by repeating some daily quests for a week. Brewfest didn’t come around quickly enough before Knifey reached [...]

Sapphire Hits 50 and Visits the Sunken Temple

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

{lang: ‘en-GB’}There was a proposed guild run to battle the trolls and dragons in the sunken Temple of Atal’Hakkar, and I was going to be the tank. Before I head in to the temple, I am keen to get the warrior class quest from my trainer, but he thinks I am not quite ready and [...]

Sap Considered Harmful

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

{lang: ‘en-GB’}Knifey and friends head up to Caer Darrow to visit the Scholomance, worried that the occupants are probably going a little stir-crazy with no one coming to visit. If anything could enliven an otherwise normal day of summoning undead it would be a visit by armoured heroes with pointy weapons and freezing spells. We [...]
