OH EEE, TOODOO BAIN?

What's up my loyal five readers. I apologize for the lack of posts. I have been backpacking through Brasil the past month. So far it's going great. I haven't been mugged/shot/stabbed/gangraped or got my kidneys stolen from me yet and that is why I am extending my vacation by a month. That means no posts.

The original plan was to go from Suriname to Rio traveling through the northeastern border and down the coast, but we got picked up by the Brasilian authorities because they were bored our visa was not valid and got sent back to The Netherlands, delaying our trip by two weeks ASIFHANSF*(ASFU*HN!!!!!1111!1

We had to start in Brasilia and traveled partially by bus and lifting to Chapada  > Salvador, Boipeba > now we are in Tradentes and heading to Rio to spend a week at the beach after that we're going to travel southwards to Curitiba and head to Iguaru to cross the Paraguayian border and fly back from Asuncion.


Se cuide!

GPH: Dire Maul North for Rugged Leather

I am back! I won't go into much detail but the reason for my lack of posts is because I have been through a pretty hectic time in real life and I didn't feel like sparing my already scarce free time on blogging.

I needed some leather to level the Leatherworking skills of one of my alts, it was the middle of the night , I needed  20 stacks of leather and there was only one stack on the AH that was selling for 140g QQ so I decided to run DM North while catching up on some series I have missed.

Gameplan
Run to the courtyard, pick up the ogres at the campfire , pick up all the dogs + boss. If the boss or mobs drop a  Gordok Shackle Key loot it run out, reset and repeat. Continue like this untill another key drops, that's when you go inside the fort to save the goblin by doing the quest Freeing Knot! , if you get no keys on run 2 - 3 - 4 , simply free the goblin on your last run.


See below the route I took

Loot
Gold: 3 g
Vendor trash: 15 g
40x [Runecloth]: ~  10 g
230x [Rugged Leather]: ~ 450 g (40g/stack) more with Darkmoon Faire
30x [Thick Leather] ~ 22.5 g (15g/stack)
6x various blues/greens that disenchanted into mats worth 50g

That's a total of 550 gold per hour, which is pretty solid.

Freeing Knot
If you save this little dude you get 500 rep for each of the Steamwhiddle factions and he also lets you loot his box which usually holds all kinds of items, from felcloth to ~10 of Thick/Rugged Leather to herbs and always a BOP tailoring/leatherworking recipe that sells for 1-2g to a vendor and once gave me an epic BOE LW pattern I sold for 2k.

The entire WoW blawgosphere is going fucking insane right now. Crankyhealer decided to lay down her pen, ?because commenters and some other blogger chick named Anna were being dickwads about it? or something like that. Naturally this incident isn't the cause ; shit like this takes some time to build up. I am guessing she had alota  people bashing on her writings for some time. I wouldn't know, because I have never had the pleasure of reading her blog ( she deleted everything except one post and the goodbye post). Following this many bloggers wrote their thoughts about it. Gevlon pulls out his infamous apes and writes something that translates to ''words can not and should not hurt ''  ; The Gnomey is a tad hysterical, but as always shares her renowned Gnomish wisdom with us - Gevlon ''predicts'' Tobold  as Legion's next victim. Ah well, it will atleast provide people with material to blog about 

Gnomelover Eversor writes as a response to Gevlon: ''Words can make us happy just as well as they can make us sad. Your wife tells you she is leaving you. Those are just words, therefore you shouldn't be hurt. Your father tells you he's proud of you. Just words, shouldn't mean a thing. Words convey feelings, emotions, thoughts. It is precisely the fact that we are thinking, intelligent beings that gives words the power that they have.''

Sorry big guy, I d-d-d-disagree. Your wife telling you that she's leaving you or your pops showing you his love isn't the same as a stranger scrub posting on your blog saying ''lolumad brah'' . Surely everyone has their own reasons for blogging, some get offended some not. Posts like that will never offend me as I write for my own pleasure, to document some of the things I do and the majority of the time to not lose my sanity.

If I wrote for other reasons, say money, acceptance or epeen it would hurt me I guess. That's why I take this oppurtunity and write for my 2-3 visitors a day that you shouldn't write for other folks, write for yourself. You're the motherfucking rockstar in this bitch, you have the mainrole in this movie. Stop trying to please strangers and people you truly don't give a shit about.

Being offended is so easy nowadays, everybody is using their ''right'' to be offended. Shit like this actually devalues the offense felt for real shit like racism, rape, murder, genocide. Raidleader telling you to shut the fuck up because you disapprove of his certain strategies in public (guild)  which is followed by a week of sitting out; not receiving any heals because you stole the healers brothers raidspot. Folks that get offended immediately jump on the vendetta train and look for ways to fuck the ''offender'' up badly. 

Last week I've received my first hate comment on the blog, the first real comment besides the many viagra and penis enlargement robot comments. I deleted the comment, because what he wrote simply was not constructive to the post even though it was true. He told me something along the lines of '' NOOB! Why do you farm when you can play the AH and make much much more gold ''. Surely what he said was about right, but that's not the project. I'm documenting ways to earn gold without the need to camp the AH.

We as humans simply can not afford to be offended. It blocks progression. Instead of being offended by it simply ask yourself how true the comments are. If it's not true, disregard it, forget it, don't get affected by it. 

Is it true? Go about fixing the problem, we're all human , Mistakes''R''Us™. If you look in the mirror and see yourself as a fat, unhappy bastard; instead of self-loathing and feeling miserable;  feel determination and fix the motherfucking problem and get healthy.

GPH: Stratholme - Full Clear

Good ol' Stratholme, infested with zombies and crazy zealots is the godfather of ezgold. It's a fairly large instance, packed with mobs and bosses. You'll be doing more looting than killing, so empty your bags entirely. Take only your heartstone, some reagents and a stack of food and drinks. I cleared this place many times on several characters running for the mount -mostly side entrance farming- , any dps class should be able to clear this in about an hour. These are the loots

Gold: 55 g
Vendor trash: 30 g
430x [Runecloth]: ~  150 g
16 x Blue BOP items: ~ 40 g
8 x Green BOE items:  ~ 30 g
2 x Blue BOE Dungeon Set items:  ~ 100 g
4 x Darkmoon Cards (Portals and Beasts): ~ 150 g
4 x [Righteous Orb]: ~ 200 g
3 x [Essence of Undeath]: ~ 60 g
4 x Misc. gems ( Star Ruby and Aquamarine ) : ~ 50 g
28 x [Ichor of Undeath]: ~ 5 g
65 x [Bone Fragments]: ~ 25 g
70 x [Crypt Fiend Parts]: ~ 50 g
Several mana/health potions: ~ 15 g

I also had one [Pattern: Truefaith Vestments] drop, but this wont drop often; it can be sold for ~50g

Rare Bosses
This run I had the pleasure of killing [Heartsinger Forresten] and [The Unforgiven]. These two I've run into nearly every run; They're both chilling on the Undead side of the city. Forresten can be found under a balcony of a building and drops the coveted [Piccolo of The Flaming Fire] and The Unforgiven is spawned by walking through an alley that you'll most likely pass. They both drop blue boe items.

Disenchanting Value
It's a great plus to be an Enchanter when hitting this place, not only can you DE and save bagspace but the blue bop items shard into Large Brilliant Shards that sells like hot cakes in weight loss camp; folks are using it to level their enchanting and enchant the heirloom items they use for their alts.

16 Blue = 16 x [Large Brilliant Shard]  = 80 g
8 Greens ~ 110 g

---
For me this was a very lucky run, with several orbs, the dungeon set pieces, the darkmoon cards. They usually don't drop alot and you'll maybe get 1 per run or none at all. My gph for this run was 1080g. But the usual runs yield no more than 900g. Also prices may and will vary per server. For example the orbs sell for 5g on some realms, but for 50g on mine. Same for enchanting mats. They can go from 2g to 20g.

~900 gold per hour or run

GPH: Scarlet Monastery - Cathedral

This place is the most easymode instance in the game. It's a small area with a large concentration of mobs and you can clear it in a few minutes no matter what your class or spec is. I've seen priests Holy Novalóling this place before. These are the spoils of 5 runs.


Gold: 22 g
Vendor trash: 15 g
370 x [Silk Cloth]: ~ 75 g
50 x [Wool Cloth]: ~ 12.5 g
42 x [Mageweave Cloth]: ~ 21 g
15 x Blue BOP drops ~ 24g > Disenchanting value: ~ 45 g
28 x Green BOE drops ~ 19g > Disenchanting value: ~ 46 g

~ 235 gold per hour

Additional Boss
High Inquisitor Fairbanks is in a hidden room that can be accessed by turning a torch on a wall.

Rare Enchanting Formulae

This is possibly the rarest enchanting formula in the game. If you see one on the AH for less than a few k ; don't think but buy it. My best deal was probably last year buying one for 5g and selling it for 11k. I haven't seen any on the AH ever since. The formula I'm talking about is [Formula: Enchant Shield - Lesser Block]
