Tools of WoW Investigation: Tankspot & Learn2Raid

Posted in Tech by

While I can spout off such things as what is the basic stat you want (ie Agility, Strength, Intellect) for each spec a lot of the “finer” details I have to research. So I thought I’d share some sources I currently use.

Tankspot http://www.tankspot.com

Learn2Raid http://www.learntoraid.com

My two sites for videos of encounters. This way I can see what is supposed to happen before I go into a fight.

Tools of WoW Investigation: Ask Mr. Robot

While I can spout off such things as what is the basic stat you want (ie Agility, Strength, Intellect) for each spec a lot of the “finer” details I have to research. So I thought I’d share some sources I currently use.

Ask Mr. Robot http://www.askmrrobot.com

Evaluate gear for sidegrades or min/max stats.

Gear is not ideal for every spec. Surprise! The Breastplate of the Incendiary Soul (stat-ed with haste/mastery secondary) may beat out my Dark Phoenix Tunic (same Agility/Stamina but with Expertise/Crit) for me as assassination, but a subtlety rogue will value thier secondary stats differently & may prefer Expertise/Crit over haste/mastery. (Note: haven’t looked up subtlety stat priorities to actually see what they are). Also one of the problems I was seeing with WoWhead was rating hit items as having a higher value over non hit items even if I was over the hit cap. Hit over the cap is wasted.

I like how Mr Robot has what they call “Absolute” & “Relative” when picking the best in slot gear. Absolute is without taking ANY other gear and/or set bonuses into account. Basically mathmatically saying you’re naked except for item X, what’s it’s value to your role/spec. I also figured out this is how WowHead does its item ranking. But let’s face it, no one’s going to take you anywhere if you only have 1 piece of gear… Well maybe to a naked molten core run, but that’s another story…. So I usually use the Relative function. This looks at set bonuses, if you’re already above the hit cap, etc. It devalues hit over the cap & it may change the ranking of gear based on that.

Tools of WoW Investigation: WoWHead

While I can spout off such things as what is the basic stat you want (ie Agilty, Strength, Intellect) for each spec a lot of the “finer” details I have to research. So I thought I’d share some sources I currently use.

WowHead http://www.wowhead.com

I use WoWHead as a general min/max gear guide as well as information on where all this gear comes from and it’s drop rates. I use the WoWHead Client to keep all my characters gear up to date. Just log in & go to your characters page, then right-click on the item & pick “find upgrade” from the menu. One complaint though is all items are weighted as if you have no other items on except for that item and does not take into account set bonuses.

The main function of the website is as a database. They collect info such as drop rates for items. Who it drops from and what percentage. Quest information.

I use this site heavily for quest information. In fact I didn’t find add ons such as Tourguide or WoW-Pro until I had 1 or 2 characters at max level. If I couldn’t find anything I’d just check WoWhead & read the comments.

front of corset by busk

This is kinda my wish list for Book. Although I’m sure it could be helpful reference for an Assassination rogue. I did leave out Tier 11 Heroic modes items. And what does the corset image have to do with anything you ask? Nothing Nothing at all.

Avengers of Hyjal Reputation gear (only in Firelands raid)

Valor Points items (which you can now max out with 7 runs a week through the troll dungeons)
Firelands dalies
Honor Gear
  • Vicious Gladiator’s Shiv - 950 honor while this seems cheap, you can’t purchase it until you’ve earned 7250 honor total this season
Fireland Raid Drops

D.E.H.T.A. has recently placed a great number of critters under their protection, especially rabbits and squirrels. Because of this, Flintlocke’s Woodchucker has been re-fitted to use wild chickens until an “agreement” can be reached.

Achievementology: Midsummer Fire Festival as under level 80

Posted in Tech by

Midsummer Fire Festival is a bonfire festival in Azeroth running from June 21 to July 4th this year. I like to have as many of the holiday achievements as possible done before hitting level 80. A few things occasionally can’t be done until then.  But when you get all the yearly achievements done you get a very cool Violet Proto drake flying mount that goes at 310% speed. Plus there’s a nice little buff with the summer festival. 10% extra XP for killing monsters. You want to keep this buff up as much as possible while you can while you are under max level.
Burning Blossom - Item - World of Warcraft
You are visiting the bonfires around the world to gather Burning Blossoms. You ignite the ones for your faction & extinguish the ones of the other faction. Now I will just point you to a few links that will help you locate the bonfires.
–TourGuide Midsummer Fire Festival – add onto your TourGuide to help you locate the fires in an efficient order
-Wowhead’s Guide to the Midsummer Fire Festival
-WoWInsdier’s Overachievers Guide to the Midsummer

Even though the vendors have some nice stuff don’t buy stuff as soon as you get enough Blossoms. You need some things for the achievement then you can sell them right back for a refund to buy the fun things such as the pets.

Burning Hot Pole Dance
You need 400 Blossoms from visiting fires before completing this achievement because you have to purchase 3 items.

* Mantle of the Fire Festival (100 blossoms)
* Sandals of Summer (200 blossoms)
* Vestment of Summer (100 blossoms)

I’d suggest saving blossoms until you have 400. You can purchase these 3 things. Then spin at the poles located next to the bonfires for 60 seconds. Presto achievement complete. Then you can go back to the vendor & sell them all back for a refund. (Edit: You can’t sell them back this year) Then you can get your fun things such as your pet.

The Fires of Azeroth and Desecration of the Alliance/Horde
Is just visiting all the bonfires & completing the quests all over Azeroth & the Outlands. You may find some of these in higher level areas involve a little bit of corpse running as mobs are much higher level than you. And Outlands you may be unable to do if you cannot find a friendly warlock to summon you into that zone. (Actually if you can get a warlock to summon you to Dalaran & set your hearthstone there. I’ve done this for all my characters & it helps immensely.)

King of the Fire Festival
Complete the quest, “A Thief’s Reward” (Alliance/Horde) by stealing the flames from your enemy’s capital cities. This is possible to do at a lower level but expect to die a lot. Because you automatically get flagged for Player vs. Player combat in an enemy capital & the guards are level 75. I’d suggest taking off anything that would take durability damage like armor, weapons, etc. before doing this.

Ice the Frost Lord
Slay Lord Ahune in the Slave Pens (an outlands dungeon). You will be unable to do this quest if you are under Level 65. The boss is selected via the random dungeon finder. It leads to a cool tabard to wear & some nice loot items.  I’m looking at the loot tables for the boss & there are a few nice cloaks there & a staff I will be trying for on my alts.

Ask me more questions about World of Warcraft via the comments or via formspring.
