Shammybook – inscription research. Glyph of Chaining

Planted more Songbell Seeds.  After about 20 min on 2nd try got a pop. Got nothing but Gold even with lucky coin rolls. Did Terrace of Endless Spring. Got Watersoul Signet, Belt of Embodied Terror, & the tier token for my headpiece.

Guy came from Chesapeake Gas to fix my gas for my heat.

 

Missing Macros Found

My friend found my macros cached on his computer! So I now have my Macros back :D I’ll share a few rogue ones… Plus if I loose them again they are here. Triple click to highlight and copy.

1. Fan of Knives. Since I spam this as my AoE combo point builder it’s nice to have an autoattack targert/combo point victim. This makes sure I have an enemy targeted.

#show Fan of Knives
/startattack
/cast Fan of Knives

2. Fishing macro. This was written by my college roommate, Bluemoon. The challenge was 1 button (though it may need to be pushed multiple times) to equip fishing specific gear and apply a lure and cast.

#showtooltip
/use Sharpened Fish Hook;
/use Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole;
/equip [noequipped:Fishing Poles,nomodifier:alt] Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole;
/equip Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat
/cast [equipped:Fishing Poles, nomodifier:alt]Fishing;

3. Tricks of the Trade macro with all the names. Got this from a fellow guildmate, Miltrath back in Cataclysm when all rogue tier sets had Tricks of the Trade set bonuses and we were trading Tricks amoungst 4 rogues. If I hold down ALT it casts Tricks on the target of my target. If I just hit it normally it goes through the priority list of the raid team members.

#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade
/use [mod:alt,@targettarget][@Jibjob,exists,nodead][@Miltrath,exists,nodead][@Rinwen,exists,nodead][@Nostrous,exists,nodead][@Scornakira,exists,nodead][@Skriv,exists,nodead][@targettarget] Tricks of the Trade

4. Out of Date Poison macro. This one’s out of date, but I may need to reference it for something later. Basically it was Right click to apply 1 poison on mainhand weapon and Left click to apply the other poison on offhand weapon. MoP changes to poisons rendered this obsolete.

#showtooltip
/use [btn:2][mod]Deadly Poison;Instant Poison
/use [btn:2][mod]17;16

5. Tricks of the Trade for focus target

#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade
/cast [target=focus,help] Tricks of the Trade

6. Quest macro for the Argent Tournament frog kissing quest

#showtooltip
/cleartarget
/tar Lake Frog
/use Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm
/kiss

7. Dragon Soul Twilight Sapper macro for Death Knight. This was a macro I found & abused to yank the adds around on the gunship. Was very useful when I was tanking this fight.

/cleartarget
/tar Twilight Sapper
/focus
/targetlasttarget
/cast [@focus,exists] Death Grip
/cast [@focus,exists] Chains of Ice

8. Extra Action Button if you can’t see or you want to keybind your Extra Action Button.

/click ExtraActionButton1

9. Cooking with Fire another from Bluemoon. Right click to create a campfire. Left click to open your cooking.

#showtooltip Cooking
/use [button:1] Cooking

11. A Mount for below level 20 Mount up on your Sea Turtle for characters under level 20

/run local z,t,s={[32099]='Sha of Anger this week.'},GetQuestsCompleted();for c,v in pairs(z) do if t[c] then s='' else s=' not' end print('You have'..s,'done',v) end

13. Sell all your grey items. Another one from Bluemoon.

/run local c,i,n,v=0;for b=0,4 do for s=1,GetContainerNumSlots(b)do i={GetContainerItemInfo(b,s)}n=i[7]if n and string.find(n,"9d9d9d")then v={GetItemInfo(n)}q=i[2]c=c+v[11]*q;UseContainerItem(b,s)print(n,q)end;end;end;print(GetCoinText(c))

14. Get Kraken quest macro. Another one I have left over from Northrend. This made this bombing run so easy. I just had to spam this macro.

/target Kvaldir deepcaller
/target North Sea Kraken
/use Flaming Spears

15. Stock mouseover healing macro. I heal alot on 3 different level 90 toons. Most of their spells look like

Unboxing: Glossybox February

IMG_1571
Febuarary’s Glossybox is International Style.
IMG_1570 IMG_1572 IMG_1574 IMG_1573 IMG_1575 IMG_1576
The Da Vinci Shimmer powder was a purple rust color that wasn’t very appealing color to me. Also I spilled about half of it trying to get the packaging open.

IMG_1577
The Evologie skin care was nice. Liked it, but I’m not sure it will replace my AmorePacific.
IMG_1578
The Nail Rocks were crappy. Hard to put on. Peeled off in about 3-4 hours. Wouldn’t stay stuck to my nails.
IMG_1579
The Bvlgari soap smelled strong in soap form, but it’s a nice lighter scent once it’s used as soap.
IMG_1580
Lisi Liquid Eyeliner. I kinda liked this one.

MoP Fashionista: the basics of Mail & Plate

 

Mail sets

These are listed as reputation sets for some reason.

Mists_of_Pandaria_Day_Two__Quest_Armor_Sets,_Challenge_Mode_Sets,_and_3D_Models_-_Wowhead_News-20120325-184445.jpg

My favorite is the red coloration.

The yellow one looks really nice as well. No idea yet which will be the Int mail and which will be the Agi mail.

Plate sets

I’ve got one plate wearer at 85 & another at 82. For Set 1 I’m really liking the gold look, very bright & shiney. Not sure that it will work for my DK, but possibly awesome on my paladin. But overall I enjoy this set.

Set 2 I’m still deciding on. Much more sinister looking.

I enjoy the green & red, but the purple looks like it works very well for a DK.

Tier 13 Fashionista — The Hunters

The hunters. One that I’m not looking at personally as one of my 85 classes. But maybe before the end of this expansion. She’s already 51 & I’ve got lots of heirlooms on her. So if I put my mind to it I could probably have her leveled & geared enough for the looking for raid group. My problem is that I have ADD with my alts. I can’t consistently level one or the other. It’s just kinda “I feel like healing dungeons” or “I feel like tanking dungeons” or “I feel like questing now.” Anyway on to the fashion critique.

 

This is named Wyrmstalker & I was talking to a hunter who was ecstatic over them bringing back the stalker to hunter gear. Overall, I’d say I like it. It’s not one of my very favorite out of the Tier 13, but it’s not one I hate either. It looks not to be leather or mail, but of scales. The artwork on the boots I have no clue if that is supposed to be mail or scales or what. It looks like a bit of bad artwork for the boot base.

 

I’d say the silver one (bottom) is my favorite of the colors, followed by the burgundy one (top), then the purple one (middle) is my least favorite of the three.

Tier 13 Fashionista — The Rogues

As my personal main being a rogue I’ll start here. I’ve been very vocal about the Kindergarten seamstress work. If you zoom in there are leather creases which I’m cool with & leather is a hard one it seems to me for people to replicate the texture of leather. I like that it looks like leather, but I don’t like seeing the seams.

The lower one is what I’m calling the red version. It was what was previewed on the official Blizzard site. I dislike this one with a passion. The seams assault my eyes. It also seems too…. bright. We’re a stealth class. The poison green shoulders are… interesting. Are we going for Christmas colors here?

The middle one (aka the green version) is kinda grown on me. It’s a bit of a bright green. The main thing that I think of with rogues that are green are the poisons. The leather doesn’t look quite so much like real leather with the green set, but the grey stitching doesn’t assault my eyes quite so much. The gold glow of the shoulders seem to work with the green much better than the red version.

The blue version (the one on top) is the one I’m partial too. It still suffers from the horrible stitching. As with the green it’s a little bit of a bright color & the leather doesn’t look like real leather as much as the red version, but put all together it’s still my favorite. I almost expect blue shoulders to breath frost bolts out on occasion.

I’m a little disappointed there wasn’t a black version, but with what we’ve learned about the legendary daggers I think that might have been skirting DC comic’s intellectual property a little too much. I was thinking maybe a navy, but we didn’t really get any dark tones for rogues this tier.

Paperless Post

Online Invitations, Stationery, Announcements, and Save the Dates by Paperless Post
Paperless Post

I’m enjoying a new e card site. The name of it is Paperless Post. It is still in Beta, but is looking fairly polished. They have very classic looking formal invitations in a paperless format (i.e e Cards). They seem to be currently marketing themselves to the wedding crowd. I guess between Save the Date cards, Rehearsal dinner invitations and the various bridal shower invitations it gets quite expensive continually sending out invitations on nice formal paper cards. With Paperless Post you can be “green” and thrifty at the same time while still sending a classy card. I’m considering using the site for my friend’s baby shower and birth announcements.

You need a stamp to send a card to someone. Each recipient of the card uses 1 stamp. Extras such as personalization, envelope liners and custom logos cost coins.

The business model is built on the earning/purchase of stamps and coins. You can currently earn stamps by referring new members or you may purchase them. Each new member that you refer to the site will give you 10 stamps. That’s 10 cards you can send. The coins are currently only available via purchase from the site.

Discovering WoW Addons

While I’m not the uber-mod person like some of my friends, I have a few I’ve discovered that I like.

1. Cartographer – There was one thing missing from basic default WoW. Map coordinates. I can read a map. I can read a map well. But I would get halfway across the region only to find out I ran the wrong way.This was the first addon I wanted.

auctioneer

Auctioneer Menu

Auctioneer22. Auctioneer – This was my second addon. Lethann uses it. Mainly she uses it for the Auto Vend feature, but I was selling quite a bit on the auction house and was manually tracking it. It takes a bit of time to set it up and longer to learn to work it, but if you Auction frequently this is something you need. And I’ve made a bit of gold on the auction house. I’m so low leveled right now I just have gathering professions. But it shows you thing in colors Red for selling high. Yellow for good markup. Green for average price. Blue for really underpriced. Now I’m not really buying off the auction house. I’m just selling, but if an herb I have is mostly blue I’ll hang on to it for 2-3 days until the prices on them start climbing. Also I’m using it for items that I find in my travels. Who knew that you needed the crispy spider legs for cooking? Well Auctioneer will tell me that when I hover over an item. Also it will tell me the price a vendor will pay for an item. If I’m questing and I can’t use either item that is offered as a quest reward and they are Soulbound, I can see what a vendor will pay for the item. That way I can take the quest reward that brings the highest return from the vendors. Yes it may be just  a few copper, but a few copper is a few copper.

3. TomTomFu – Little GPS like arrow. It shows you where you need to go.
