Ask a Beta Tester: Attunements, achievements, more low level quests   Welcome to another edition of Ask a Beta Tester, wherein we all sit around, drink ale, smoke cigars, talk about our awesome hogs and then tear up the road of Dalaran, risking our lives with extreme stunts just for the thrill and the feeling of adrenaline flowing through our veins. …Wait, that’s not what we do at all. Swiss asked… I’m interested in the Low Level Quest Tracker. Does this replace other trackers such as Find Herbs or Find Minerals? Or does it stack with other tracking as well? It does not stack with other tracking, but you generally wouldn’t need both at once. Turn it on in town, grab your quests, turn your other tracking back on when you leave. That’ll be problematic for finding low level quests out in the wilds, but does your level 80 Death Knight need that Peacebloom while you’re off looking for quests? Read on for more of your Wrath of the Lich King Beta questions! Droul asked… What has happened to jewel slots in Wrath? A lot of the gear that has been previewed or leaked has maybe one but most have no slots for gems. Are Jewelcrafters going to be useless in WotLK? Useless? Gosh no. Gear has plenty of gem slots. Maybe not

The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Itemization in Wrath part one When I said I’d talk about itemization for warriors in Wrath, I did so fully knowing that it is at present incomplete. New gear comes in with every beta patch, so even if you take every single item currently present into account it doesn’t necessarily provide you with an accurate picture of the way it will all shake out once you actually set foot in Northrend. So keeping in mind that not only can this all change tomorrow but that we’re talking about gearing the most gear dependent class in the entire game, let’s start looking at what gear we’re going to require at 80. The defense cap at level 80, for instance, is going to be 540 defense requiring 689 defense rating. For a fury TG build, you’re looking to overcome 15% hit penalty on specials, meaning that you’ll be stacking roughly 500 hit rating at level 80 (based on this forum post which seems like a pretty good test bed to me) not to mention all the crit and AP you’ll need to be effective. Frankly, I think the defense gear will be easier to assemble than the hit gear. For arms, of course, you won’t need nearly as much hit, making an Arms DPS build substantially easier to gear for. (To be

The state of Inscription One thing I know is this: the 8962 beta patch which downloaded last night is not going to be the last beta patch we see. How do I know this? Because there are still no Warrior, Death Knight, or minor glyphs available to train yet. Yes, I know what some websites are reporting about Death Knight glyphs, but I assure that these glyphs are not at the trainers. The lack of clear information on the topic is making it interesting to be a scribe on the beta servers. (And by “interesting” I mean “lame.”) While I’m standing in front of the trainer looking at the list of available glyphs, people on the Trade channel are calling me an idiot because I have no DK glyphs because they read about them. (Lolwut?) But my graphic for this post is my proof. They’re not available yet, people! I’ve leveled up to Expert on Inscription and I’m an oink away from Artisan. I have been selling my glyphs for measly sums merely to cover the cost of materials. Who are these people trying to sell a stack of Peacebloom for 500G?? Do they not understand that (a) you can’t buy anything useful with your beta money anyway and (b) you can’t keep your money when Wrath goes live? Can they back off their greed

Where does Havoc go from here? Well, in a sense we’ve been victims of our own success. We’ve tried several times to down Kalecgos, getting as close as an excruciating 1%, but ultimately we’ve not been able to move forward yet. There are several reasons for this, the most obvious being that SWP is not linear progression-wise like the other dungeons are. It was designed for players who’d been farming BT/Hyjal for months. Even now, probably at most half the raid group has four-piece T6, and probably only 2/3 have their two-piece. In addition, we lost members due to school, and some people lost interest after Illidan died. This is no surprise, since it’s hard to replace that adrenaline rush once you come out on top and things start to slow down. We received several excellent transfer applications once the server became open to transfers in late August. However, we have decided for the moment Havoc will become a casual guild, farming ZA bear mounts while we still can and continuing to gear up members, but not placing a hardcore focus on SWP. We decided as a whole that our goals were met, and we did not want to burn ourselves out on raiding before WotLK. Speaking of WotLK, though, we fully intend to pick up the hardcore schedule

Warlock changes in Beta build 8926   The nerf bat swung low and hard. Did it hit Warlocks? Well… yes and no. This is the stage in Beta where things are tuned downwards — notoriously labeled the nerf patch — and Warlocks are big, fat nerf targets. On the other hand, some spells got buffs and others were reworked. This is just Beta, so don’t panic. Classes are buffed and nerfed throughout the testing process until everything is finely tuned. Without further ado: they nerfed Death’s Embrace to grant 9% crit to all Shadow Spells when an opponent is at 20% or below health, down from 15% crit. Eradication can no longer be a permanent buff now as it now notes that, “This effect cannot occur more often than once every 30 sec”. On the other hand, Death’s Embrace and Eradication got cool new icons. Dark Pact, which I raved about when I talked about the Felhunter, has been nerfed back to its current form of granting 100% of the mana drained from pet (down from 200% in previous builds). Curse of Exhaustion was nerfed to a 30% movement speed reduction, down from 50%. It’s now back to the live realm’s value but without the benefit of Amplify Curse, which was reworked in Beta. Fel Armor’s mana regeneration

WoW, Casually: To Beta or not to Beta   Those of us who are playtime-challenged have to make hard decisions about what to do during our WoW game sessions all the time. Do we try to do an instance? Do we work on our dailies? Or do we just parade our vanity pets around Shattrath while chatting with guildies? (OK, maybe just I do that.) For some time now, many of us have had another decision to make: do we check out the Wrath of the Lich King Beta?   On one hand, you’ve got a brand new class to play with. On the other hand, you don’t get to keep him. So is the Beta wasted time? Let’s look at the Pros and Cons after the break.   Pros * Apathy has set in game-wide: It’s hard to get people to do much in WoW right now. * Shiny!:The beta is new! * Same old thing: The old world just isn’t as much fun anymore with new content on the horizon. * Preparation: You can practice with the new content. Cons * Waste of limited time: You don’t get to keep anything you accomplish in the beta. * Ruining the experience: When Wrath comes out, it won’t be as fresh and new because you will have experienced much of it. * Preparation: Now is an excellent time to stock up on mats and cash to accelerate profession progress. * Testing

Shamans and Enchanters: Now in handy scroll form! Moonglow Ink allows you make some really cool stuff. For example, at 35 skill, you can start making Scrolls of Recall, which act like the Shaman spell Astral Recall, allowing you to teleport home every 15 minutes, and all for the price of a vial of Moonglow Ink and a piece of Light Parchment. The scrolls go gray at 75, so you can churn out a lot of them as well. At 50 skill, you can start becoming an enchanter’s best friend. You can make Bleached Parchment, which can be targeted with armor enchantments. Anyone can then use the resulting scroll to enchant their armor. So far, there’s no apparent level limit on these scrolls, so if that remains unchanged, they’ll be good even for the new Wrath enchantments. All of this and all it requires is one Moonglow Ink and some Light Parchment for each scroll. Another 50 skill recipe is a bit of an enigma. The Mysterious Tarot, which uses 2 vials of Moonglow Ink, will produce a random card from the Rogues Deck. When you combine the Ace, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of Rogues, you’ll get a deck you can turn in to the Darkmoon Faire for a magic chestpiece with a random enchantment. The quest text implies that there will even be gypsies in various inns out in the

 On Outland upgrading Yes, you can get upgrades from Outland, even from Hellfire Peninsula. No, you don’t have to take them. If you prefer form over function and plan to blast straight through Outland, you should be able to get away with keeping your blue gear til 70. If you do upgrade before Northrend, you will be in danger of looking like a clown, though, especially since the devs say they have no intention of itemizing for Death Knight specific gear sets before Northrend. Still, if you’re don’t mind looking silly, there’s some good upgrades to be had in Outland. Here’s a few quest upgrades from Hellfire Peninsula, Nagrand, and Zangarmarsh: Battlemaster’s Breastplate: This breastplate out of Hellfire Peninsula is at the end of a long quest line for both Horde and Alliance, but it’s a very nice upgrade from Saronite War Plate, with a good amount of extra AC and strength easily making up for the lost parry rating. It shows a lot of skin on most races though, even the males, so grab a tabard to cover it up. Defender’s Gauntlets or Suntrider’s Gauntlets: Gained by a quest from either Falcon Watch or the Temple of Telhamat, these gauntlets have different names depending on your side, but the same stats.

Arsonite Tinkerboom Salutations! My name is Arsonite Tinkerboom, but I’m more commonly known as Arson, for reasons which will become blazingly clear. I was but a very young and minuscule child, not yet graced with the ability of personal locomotion, when we were forced to flee from Gnomeregan during the invasion. My father, an engineering magician, and my mother, an alchemist magician, had volunteered to help escort a group of refugees to Kharanos. They were always ready and willing to lend their assistance to aid our people, and their help was always readily received. My parents were very skilled in their professions, which brought them much respect and admiration, and they were known all through Gnomeregan. They had an incredible knack for blending their magical, alchemical, and engineering arts into the most fantastic contraptions. One of those grand inventions was called the Baby Gnomester 120, a small enclosed metal basket designed to keep gnome babies toasty warm during long ventures around Dun Morogh. Into this I was placed for safety and warmth as we made the first part of the trek to the safety of Brewnall Village. All was well until we neared the perimeter of Iceflow Lake and the village. A roaming band of Trolls spotted us, and wasted no

I have just cancelled my World of Warcraft subscription and I am no longer allowed to logon to my account, therefore I will not be able to carry on with many of my World of Warcraft projects, including LevelRange. I will continue to give support for them but I cannot guarantee that they will stay working with the newer versions of World of Warcraft . I came to this decision due to me neglecting to play World of Warcraft for over a month now and I don’t think that I will be going back to playing it for a little while either, so there really is no point in paying for it if I am not going to be playing it. It was a good game while the novelty lasted and I may think about returning at a later date, but I will not be even half as dedicated as I used to be, most probably playing just for fun and when I am bored.

In order to combat automated robots and other forms of cheating, wow gold of Warcraft comes bundled with a rootkit wow gold has since been named Warden) that monitors your computer for signs of “suspicious” activity contrary to their EULA (End User License Agreement).Greg Hoglund first identified Warden in October 2005, a rootkit installed by World of Warcraft that monitors your machine every 15 seconds to identify programs that are attempting to hack or interfere with the operation of wow gold that would be against the EULA (bots, unauthorized interface hacks, etc). The rootkit acts similar to spyware, and according to Hoglund: Now, I can’t fault Blizzard from wanting to prevent in-game cheating – certainly the the attacks against games like World of Warcraft are growing in sophistication, but Warden takes this technology arms race to an entirely new level. These hacks, and the attempts to curtail them are both extremely innovative – a result of the new security issues that many massively distributed systems have to contend with. Hopefully that innovation won’t be limited to just security features alone, and will also show up in future expansions to the game too. “Besides Monitoring the wow gold process space and keeping track of DLLs
