  • World of Warcraft: To Disenchant or Not While Leveling in Mist of Pandaria

    Enchanting traditionally has been one of the hardest and most costly professions to level. One of the most popular things to do is combine tailoring with enchanting, thus allowing you to disenchant the items you create through tailoring with your enchanting skills. This works well while you level. However, you can also use your questing…

  • World of Warcraft: Easy Gold Making For Levels 80-85

    Unless you quests heavily and/or do a fair amount of gathering as you level, you might find yourself lacking gold at lower levels. Once you hit 80, you probably want to get Artisan Flying and start thinking about Master Riding. But unless you have gold lying around from alts, you’ll probably be far off from…

  • World of Warcraft: Why LFR and “Welfare Epics” Will Stay

    There’s been an incredible amount of heated debate on the World of Warcraft forums where two factions have essentially created two stances around terms of LFR and the notion of “welfare epics.” The issue here is that one group (also known as “casuals”) are the ones that, of course, want these items while the other…

  • World of Warcraft: What Mist of Pandaria Got Right/Wrong

    Now, that patch 5.3 had some time to settle in and with certain talks about 5.4, I think we can say that the expansion probably is getting close to the finish line. Everyone expects the Garrosh raid to most likely be the finale for Mist of Pandaria in terms of content. If that’s the case,…

  • World of Warcraft: Boss Mechanics, Farming and LFR

    When patch 5.2 hit, I felt that the game went in the wrong direction, hence why I quit for a bit. One thing I noticed about the fights were the general increasing complexity. While making fights more interesting can be a good thing, I think the developers are wrong because they don’t really understand their…

  • World of Warcraft: 1.3 Million Subscribers Down

    That’s a pretty large number and is comparable to the population of Burning Crusade, except that it’s getting lower. The two main things people seem to point to are game age and Asia. However, I know that saying the game’s age is a common issue, but I feel that it’s too high level and generic…

  • Diablo 3: Tempest Rush Monk Thoughts

    I’ve been doing a little bit of paragon leveling with my tempest rush monk. So far, I managed to get him to level 10 (and I haven’t even completed all of Inferno yet!) Mostly, I’m focused on doing Alkaizer runs and have been doing them on Monster Power 1. I would say that I might…

  • World of Warcraft: Thoughts on Making Gold in Mist of Pandaria

    There’s numerous guides on making gold in World of Warcraft, most of them involve heavy amounts of farming. While having gold in the game is critical to performance, I view it as a residual of what you do in the game as opposed to a focus. As a result, I tend to not be bothered…

  • Diablo 3: Potentially Good Gold Earning Run

    Tired of Alkaizer runs for Act 3? Want to change it up a bit? Here’s a run that I’m starting to use. First, you must have the Staff of Herding from Inferno mode (yes, we are going to hit Whimseyshire as part of this run). So before you proceed with this article, make sure you…

  • World of Warcraft: What to Do While Waiting for Instances

    Queue times in the World of Warcraft are extremely painful. I know in the past I would just run around in a circle in Dalaran for a queue to pop. Since I no longer play on a PVP server, I’ve found other activities that are far more productive. First, most people will say that while…
