  • World of Warcraft: Recent Ongoings, This and That

    I think I must be feeling another World of Warcraft burn out coming down the pike. Truthfully though, I probably have played the heck out the game in the past few weeks, trying to gear up my toons in preparation for the patch 5.4. However, the activity is just excessively time consuming in trying to…

  • World of Warcraft: The Pros and Cons of Alt-A-Holicism

    As someone who has played RPGs for a long time, I’m someone who enjoys trying out different classes to see the difference in game play. In World of Warcraft, they call my style of play Alt-A-Holicism. Maybe some people stigmatize the idea of playing numerous alts, but it has its share of benefits as well…

  • World of Warcraft: Is the Legendary Cloak Worth It?

    In the upcoming 5.4 patch on the new Timeless Isle, there will be a new world boss that only people who have succeeded in obtaining the Legendary Cloak (meaning have completed the Legendary Quests for this expansion thus far) can access.

  • World of Warcraft: Random Thoughts, Stuff I’m Working On, etc.

    This blog on World of Warcraft will be a hodge podge of random thoughts and things I’ve been working on recently. I’ll actually reverse the order and start with stuff I’ve been doing lately in the game. Although I started a small project for calculating the yield of farming enchants, I ended up being side…

  • World of Warcraft: New Farm Experiment with Enchanting Materials and Making Gold from It

    I managed to finally raise 10 farms with maxed out plots. As a result, I decided to start a new experiment where I will be planting certain materials for a whole week, then calculating on a daily and weekly basis what the average yield is for that material. I’m certain there are other people who…

  • World of Warcraft: The Beauty of Ten Farms

    Over the past few days, I’ve been working intensely on maximizing my toons’ farms and utilizing them on a daily basis. At the moment, I have 8 maxed out farms with two more having 12 plots of land opened (as a result of having revered reputation). It’s a pain but in the long term well…

In Deepholm, there’s a section where you have numerous troggs engaged in a perpetual battle on the south western corner of the map. You can find anywhere between 4-10+ mobs gathered around. These…

  • Diablo 3: Nice MP5 Farming Route for Barbarians (Act 1)

    I managed to upgrade my barbarian slightly recently, which is allowing me to handle Monster Power 5 Act 1 just fine. Stat-wise, he has (unbuffed) 38.8k health, 640 all resistances, 6.5k armor, 1.1k life on hit and is around 113k DPS. I use a Scoundrel as my companion for the increased critical hit chance. Unless…

  • World of Warcraft: Some Cheap Tricks to Get Easy Stuff at Level 90

    I consider myself a casual and lazy player. But not lazy as in “I just want to sit on my ass and be handed stuff while sleeping and eating pizza simultaneously.” Lazy as in “I want to play smart with doing minimal effort but maximizing what I can do with my time.” Sometimes, I feel…

  • World of Warcraft: Raid Boss and Quest Design Theories

    I’m a pretty big critic when it comes to game design since I’ve dabbled a bit in writing my own home grown modules for games like Shadowrun, Dungeons and Dragons and even games with a customized aspect. So when it comes to playing games I do enjoy such as Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft,…
