Ding! Congratulations, you’re level 80. Now you want better gear so you can do heroic instances and 10-man raids. Here’s a gear guide to help you get there. We’ll start with the best blues you can get from quest rewards. These will be enough to get you through most if not all of the heroic 5-man dungeons. From there, we can move on to epic gear so you can become Naxx 10 ready.
What I like about quest rewards is that they’re guaranteed loot. The catch here is that most of them come from either group or dungeon quests.

For the past few months I’ve been receiving email from my old guild’s forum host about the site’s inactivity. I’ve been posting a line or two over there just to keep it alive. I was the one who set it up in the first place and I didn’t want it to go.
The other day I got another email about it and it made me think about the way things are right now. The forum is for the guild Scarlet Vengeance in Quel’dorei. Like Dorothy, we’re not in Quel’dorei anymore, we’re in Area 52. The plan to form Scarlet Vengeance over there didn’t push through either, thanks to circumstances beyond my control. Furthermore, I’m not even a member of the guild where most of SV’s members are in. I jumped ship almost a month ago because of all the PUGging we were doing and the lack of progression.
I started a poll on the site asking about whether I should close it or not. No one has responded so far, a definite indication that no one goes there anymore. Still, I’m surprised that I’m having a hard time letting go.

Our old boy Griftah decided that business needs a little boost and posted an ad in the new Gadgetzan Times.
Like Griftah and his wares, the ad is subtle but definitely there, waiting to be found by the curious. It’s an old joke, but seeing it again is a reminder of the time when everyone was a Shattrath regular. In case you’re wondering what the hell a tikbalang is, you can read up on your Filipino mythology here. I wonder if A’dal will ever post something in the personals.

UPDATE: Assault by Ground has been added. It was originally omitted because the quest was missing for a couple of days on my realm. Now that it’s back, I’ve made a few edits to this post.
My post regarding Icecrown dailies needs a revamp. Why? Because of time constraints. Ever since I joined Built Horde Tough I’ve been raiding almost everyday. I’m not complaining, mind you, but more raid time means less time for dailies. Obviously, I have to find a way to make the two meet. I’ve yet to fine tune the solution but here’s what I’ve come up with so far:

The past two weeks have been hell for me WoW-wise because of my Internet problems. My lat would reach 6k to 12k and I’d get disconnected shortly thereafter. I spent a lot of time troubleshooting the problem and at the end of the first week, I thought I solved it by replacing the LAN card. It was actually more of a workaround than a real solution so I knew there was something more to the problem. After running into the same issues I was able to isolate it down to one thing: my modem. I had it replaced two days later and also bought a wireless router over the weekend. I then spent another night making the modem, the router and the wi-fi connection work and here I am now. So far things have been stable. This week’s heroic Ulduar run will verify that.
