World of Warcraft Gold Guide

 Breakfast Topic: What would you wish for? Today’s breakfast topic is a bit of a roleplaying question as well. Yesterday we heard about the new coins that were added to the water fountain at Dalaran in the Beta of Wrath of the Lich King. There, usinging your fishing skill, you can find coins tossed in by anyone from King Terenas Methenil to “Prince” Magni Bronzebeard, and see what it was that they once wished for. It got me thinking, what would your character wish for if you could toss a coin into the fountain? Even if you don’t roleplay, just imagine it for a moment. Or if that’s really too much of a stretch for you, imagine that you the player could stand at the edge of that fountain and toss a coin in. Would your wish be any different from a fountain in the real world somewhere? Would you wish for epics, PvP glory, class buffs or something else related to your real life? Even though my main character is a hunter, and war has kind of become her business, she’s still a pacifist at heart. She always tries to disable her enemies rather than kill them, and she silently prays to the Light for the soul each person to cross her path, whether

WoW Insider Show tomorrow afternoon on WoW Radio   We have a confession to make — this week’s WoW Insider Show has already been recorded. I know, I know, we really enjoy getting on IRC and doing the show live, too, but Duncor the (so-called) Dependable is heading out to a wedding this weekend, and since he’s our producer, we had to fudge things a little bit, and we recorded the show last night. Worry not, though — we’ll still be playing the show for the first time on Saturday afternoon at 3:30 over on WoW Radio, and if I’m around, I’ll try to jump into IRC to chat while we listen. The good news is that we finally have some good Mage talk in the show — blogger Andy “Aurdon” Scott of ISheep joined us on the show, and if you’ve been waiting to hear some good discussion about the food-and-drink dispensers of the world, you’ll hear it. John “BigBearButt” Patricelli was also on with us with his great insight as always, and Duncor came on as well (Turpster is still jetlagged from his trip to the States and will be back next week). And in addition to all the Mage talk, we talked about the release date

Instant Corruption and other infernal joys   Hot on the heels of Blizzard asking Warlocks for feedback on Metamorphosis, the Wrath development team shows how amazingly fast they work and how they actually listen to players. Koraa and Ghostcrawler materialized into the Warlock Beta forums to announce — simultaneously on separate threads — that Metamorphosis was going to change significantly in an upcoming Beta build, with the changes happily incorporating most of the feedback that players threw in. First of all, Metamorphosis will no longer replace a summoned demon — a no-brainer feature that should have been there from the start considering that most talents in the tree buff up the Warlock’s demon! It will also now increase armor by 600%, up from 360%, a coefficient that scales better with a Warlock’s base armor of… cloth. Significantly, the demon form will now also increases all damage by 40%, after players realized that turning into a demon with many melee abilities and being cut off from normal spells actually reduced their DPS. Speaking of normal spells, Warlocks in demon form can now cast those, too. These changes come in addition to a

arenas are the dumbest form of PvP currently available   I think arenas are the dumbest form of PvP currently available, and the only reason I’ve ever participated is for the welfare epics. Obviously those with high ratings didn’t get their points for free. They got them through twitch reflexes, good talent builds, good group composition, and good gear. Those without high ratings still got free epics.   The only interesting form of PvP in my opinion are the battlegrounds when played by organized teams. This is where strategy and execution can outweigh gear and group composition. Being in the right place at the right time is key. The most satisfying PvP experience I ever had occurred last week when by chance a pre-made I was leading in AB came up against a pre-made from one of the prominent horde guilds from our server. It was a hard battle the entire match, with us coming from behind to win by 10 points. 10 points in an AB made possible by a cap in the last 20 seconds! It was epic. Especially when we all rode over to the horde queuing area in Shat afterward and waved at the other team.   Given this, I hardly care that my hunter sucks in arena, because she is

World Explorers to get some help with achievement Demiron of the US-Elune server bought forth a concern about the new achievement system on the official forums recently: How does a World Explorer get all the world explored, especially the enemy faction capitals and cities? I’d like to assure Demiron and people like him that it really is possible. Alex even wrote a nice handy mini-guide to sneaking into the cities to get Crown of the Fire Festival which should work for exploring too. If you’re not a stealth class, it can be harder, but knowing the location of a few back doors and having an epic mount speedy enough to outrun guards can help a lot in those cases. One other concern for a World Explorer, though, is figuring out exactly where they have and haven’t been, and for that, Bornakk did drop a nice little hint in the thread: There will be a way to see which places you haven’t explored so that you know where to go to get that shiny new achievement ding. More help for achievements is certainly a good thing, and should help those of us scatterbrained enough that we can’t quite remember if we covered every square inch of Stranglethorn or not.

The Art of War(craft): Dreaming about Death Knight PvP   I know, I know. It’s too early to actually figure out how Death Knights will work in PvP. Humor me for a bit. The new class, with its juicy talents and abilities, even if they will get changed before Wrath of the Lich King hits the shelves, have got me really excited. They have some pretty cool spells and a new resource mechanic that promises to shake things up as far as gameplay is concerned. I’m not big on alts, and I play mostly on my main and a secondary toon that really needs more love, but I actually want to make a Death Knight. I’m not an alt-o-holic, but I think I’ll be taking it all the way to Level 80. Of course, while I tell all my friends that I’m finally making a toon I’ll be happy to tank with, what I’m really thinking about is PvP. I had initially wanted to make a Death Knight class when the game was announced, Death Knights being my favorite Hero in Warcraft 3. I thought Warlocks were the going to be it, considering the Death Coil spell, but I ended up never making a Warlock at all. But now here’s the real deal. Plate armor, badass Rune weapons,

The New Adventures of Jayne(z) Quest When we’d last left our heroic hero of heroes, he’d just finished traipsing through two of the new Northrend instances, Azjol-Nerub and The Nexus, merrily slaughtering everything in sight that could potentially drop phat lewt. Good times were had by all. Well, except the creatures that got slaughtered but nobody cares about them anyway, right? While I’m not saying that there’s necessarily anything wrong with wanton and whimsical wholesale slaughter, whether in the name of shiny new gear or just for fun … but sometimes it’s nice to have a bit of context, you know? So, I decided to give my dungeon-running muscles a rest and go get my quest on in the Howling Fjord. I pick up where I left off before absconding on my dungeon-crawling adventure, the Forsaken outpost of Vengeance Landing. As one might expect from the name, Vengeance Landing is the foothold of Sylvannas Windrunner’s armies in Northrend, and as High Executor Anselm makes very clear when talking to him, they are there for one reason and one reason alone: to destroy Arthas and get their revenge. Apparently they’re not too busy to give

World of Warcraft: Arena Season 4 Begins World of Warcraft developers announced today that Season 4 of the 2008 Arena Tournament has begun. Read the particulars below.
