Purple

Its advertised as a Black War Kitty, but its purple.

We're trying this again

Mammoth train! Led by some jerk  Genius of a Paladin on his Charger. (That would be me).

Dree Dargons!

So, I saw these two fella's on there drakes and decided to hop on mine. Purty.

Also, lets see how this format works out.

Cat

I knew I had a image of a yawning cat and I spent about five minutes looking for it. Cat!

James Cameron Plays WoW

Disclaimer: I don't know if this is true or not. Just coming up with conclusions out of the blue.

Disclaimer (pt 2): I don't care about your opinions about Avatar. It may be the best movie ever made. It may be the worst movie ever made. What I care about is WoW (thus the blog).

Anyways- to begin the parallels...

Look at the Na'vi. Look at the Draenei. Look at the Na'vi. Look at the Draenei. Now look at them together. Blue-skinned, tailed folk, who are significantly taller than humans. Check!

Look at the Na'vi's religion. Look at the Night Elves' religion. Now look at them together. They both worship and revere life. They both have world trees and their trees are destroyed The Home Tree as well as Teldrassil, Nordrassil and Vordrassil. They even worship god's with similar names. Look at Eywa compare to Elune. Both also have a high degree of ridiculous glowy things.

Now, consider the beats in Avatar. The first that they run into- charging beast think- kinda reminds you of a shoveltusk, right? Then the next one- the cat-thing. Looks remarkably like a saber-cat mount from the Night Elves. Then consider the riding mount he first comes across- Its a talbuk- with 6 legs. Then consider their flying mounts- especially The Last Shadow (or whatever it was). Look at the wings and the colors, then look at the wings and colors of the common dragonmoth in the Blood Elf starter area.

Now- think back to Ashenvale. Remember the Horde tree-cutting vehicles? Now consider the human's tree cutting vehicles. They have many similarities.

Yes. Avatar is WoW. Pandora is Azeroth. One has magic and the other has machine guns.

Daed Dargon

I should do a series on Rimefang (pictured above), Sapphiron, Chillmaw and Sindragosa. They all look really cool and I want to ride them across the skies of a ruined Azeroth. 

Where are the Roads?

In Classic WoW, roads were everywhere. You would be in the middle of the desert- and there would be a road. You would then walk into an ocean- and find a road.

Now, roads are few and far between. The only place you can find any is in the Borean Tundra and there it is more of a path. In all the rest of Northrend, there are no major walkways.

In Outlands, you are more likely to find a legion of squirrels (it was an interesting bug) than a road.

I like the roads to follow. I want to see the roads in Cataclysm.

On the topic of transportation in Cataclysm- it appears that we will be able to purchase 310% flying. ALL flying mounts you own will then be adapted to this velocity. If you already have a 310% mount, you will get the training FREE. It may be a cheap upgrade- 1k, or it may be as expensive as epic flying. In any case- it is a decent amount of gold saved.

The Netherwing Rep

So as you may have noticed I got my netherdrakes.

There is a beginning quest chain that will get you up from hated to neutral. It is pretty easy, but near the end there is a fight that takes a little bit of power to get you through. It is nominally a five person quest, but can be soloed at 80 if you have good healing power.

After you do that, you are assigned to infiltrate the Dragonmaw of Shadowmoon Valley. You get a few daily quests as neutral and you can also find netherwing eggs to turn in. Once you hit friendly you get another few quests available and you still have the old ones. If you have a gathering profession, I suggest gathering as much as you can because there is a chance that they will drop eggs (about 1%). At honored, more quests open up and more dailies. At revered a few quests send you wandering, but it isn't too hard to do them, especially at 80.

If you only do your dailies and don't gather any eggs, it should take approximately two weeks.

However, it is very helpful if you do collect the eggs, it brought my total time down from fourteen days to five. I would very strongly suggest getting the addons Gatherer and the WoWhead Gatherer database.

The best place to find the eggs (esp for miners) is within the caves. They spawn all throughout it so you have to explore it fully but there is a chance they drop off the mobs and the nodes.

For all the mobs on the island there is a 1% chance that they will drop an egg. Over the course of these past five or so days, I probably killed around 500-700 mobs.

So go out there and get your netherdrakes!

The netherdrakes!

DRAKES! It only cost me four days of dailies and 1k gold for six drakes!
