Daily Journal: Raiding again

Got my Birchbox in. New things to play with.

Raiding again today. Got my dagger off my coin for my Megera kill! Heroic Jin’rokh the Breaker. Then we also worked on Heroic Ji’kun. Seemed like my group was keeping it together pretty well.  Got 3 LFRs in after the raid. Nothing I needed out of there. Ran Kara & got my last pet out of there for Raiding for Leashes II:  Attunement Edition. Ran Tempest Keep. Still no pets out of there. I’m wondering if it is bugged… Literally last week I ran TK 4 times and nothing dropped. First run this week, nothing…. So 5 total runs and I’ve seen NOTHING from 3 separate bosses. I’ve still got to run the healers through, but TK isn’t like Kara. Kara was designed for 10 people to run it. TK was for 25 people. The healers are geared for hps, not dps, but they do have a dps spec (well except for the Pally who gets things done in a tank spec and actually leveled as a tank).

Blizzard Favors Alliance: Pandaria starting zone

Starting a new blog series. Why Blizz favors the Horde/Alliance. For the first one we have the Starting areas of Panderia. Several people as soon as they got off the boat wanted to get past Jade Forest into Valley of the Four Winds & the cooking trainers in Half-Hill. The Alliance definitely had the shorter run there.

Ahead of the Curve

I internally applied as a raider with my guild. This is what happened the first raid day after applying. Did decent on the fight. My dps is a little low, but that will come with gear improvement and better fights to show off what I can do.

 

Daily Journal: Working on the Pandaren Spirit Tamers

Did LFR with an old guild mate on my priestess. Then worked on Pandaren Spirit Tamers. I managed to get them all defeated. I picked the Pandaren Fire Spirit since I’d gotten 1 as a gift from a guild mate & the other 2 off the auction house. 

 

Managed to get a Humanoid Battle stone so I upgraded Peddlefeet.

 

Had a friend help me with AQ40 on my priest to help frost shock Vicidious. I managed to get the pet off the Twin Emperors. The Anubisath Idol. So all I have left for AQ40 is Vicidious.

Then I did Naxx on my priestess. Got Giant Bone Spider from Maxxena. Which finishes the pets from Naxx for me. Leaving only Vicidious to finish Raiding with Leashes.

For some reason I decided to try Kara on my Warlock. Managed to get 2 pets out of that instance including the one that means I’ll never have to try to solo chess again. Menagerie Custodian dropped from The Curator while Netherspace Abyssal from Prince Malchezaar is the one that was behind chess.

 

Also Naturebook’s Primal Egg hatched. Got a Primal Green Raptor.

Found WeakAura for Soothing Tailsman of the Shado-Pan Assault trinket

Found a good weak aura for my various characters using the trinket Soothing Tailsman of the Shado-Pan Assault. Triple click the source code to make sure you get it all.

Sevyvia 90 Night Elf Priest

You don’t need the spell ID, you can simply shift-click the trinket into WeakAuras. Anyway.

This will play a sound and display a green blob when you go below 85% mana. The trinket gives you back just over 10% mana, so I left 5% leeway for regen and the like while still getting it used early in a fight so the cooldown will be up as many times as possible in a fight. You can change the percentage yourself in one of the triggers if you want to.

Daily Journal: So the problem with my Mac

The problem with my MacbookPro Retina may be that the video card is going bad. Portal & Diablo 3 are causing the OS to crash. I made a genius bar appointment.

Shammy learned Glyph of Far Sight from Minor Inscription Research & Glyph of Deep Freeze via the Scroll of Wisdom. Only 10 more unknown on my list.

 

Hunterbook – learned Bindings of Meditation today.

 

Did a little professions stuff on my Sith Inquisitor for SWOTR.

 

While I slept I put Time Machine to backing up the MacBookPro. I got up early cause I wasn’t sleeping well.  Played a little World of Warcraft. Basically spend some time on my Monk herbing & mining to level up those skills. Then I went and did her daily monk quest.

 

Oh I’m on Raptr now so http://raptr.com/tanyabook Apparently when I imported my WoW achievements I bumped from Newbie to Elite……………………

 

Took the MacBook Pro retina in to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store. The fans were at 5000 rpm when they should be around 2000 rpm. They cleaned out a lot of cat hair.

 

On Book’s Cooking Apprentice Daily today got Chun Tian Spring Rolls. Again. It loves to give em those. Decided to do pet battles tonight. Got Brok in Hyjal. Vordin Steadyfist in Deepholm & Goz Banefury in Twilight Highlands. Got an quality upgrade via capture to my Ash Viper from green to blue. Got a Highlands Skunk of the grey quality, and capture upgrade from green to blue on a Highlands Mouse. My humanoid pet wasn’t high enough level

 

 

so I went around panderia capturing wild pets while I leveled him. Caught a white Coral Adder. Captured a white Temple Snake. Then turned around and caught a blue quality Temple Snake. Got a green quality Garden Frog as an add to a fight. Captured a white quality Softshell Snapling. Captured a green quality Zooey Snake.  Captured a grey quality Summit Kid & a Alpine Foxling Kit. Captured a whte quality Alpine Foxling. I managed to capture o blue Tolai Hare which will replace my green one. Next I captured a blue Zooey Snake. Tolai Hare Pup got an upgrade from white to green via capture. Caught a green Mongoose Pup in Townlong Steppes for Pandaria Tamer achievement. Finally hit 25 with the Kun-Lai Runt and went back to defeat the last trainer for Taming Cataclysm. Zoning into Stormwind triggered Trainer Extraordinaire.

 

I got a Nielsen TV survey in the mail which I went online & filled out. They included $10 in the package in cash. WoW.

 

Went back and finished the Pandaria trainers. Got Taming Panderia & Taming Azeroth achievements. Also the “I Choose You!” achievement.

OMG I’m not Neutral!

Note that upon joining a different guild, your Guild reputation is knocked down a level – if you had reached Exalted with your previous Guild, you will drop to Revered with your new Guild.

via Guild reputation – Wowpedia – Your wiki guide to the World of Warcraft.

Didn’t realize this. So I was excited when I joined my new guild only to find myself at Revered. Such a nice treat.
