There are some things money can’t buy, for everything else there’s dailys.

Followup post to my cost of raiding post. Comparing the cost of the Elixir’s used in a progression raid against Flasks (last through death, expire after 2 hours). Cost of Elixirs: approx 50g Cost of a single Flask: 60g (2 needed for 3 hours) It’s cheaper by far to buy Elixirs. Mana Pots, Elixirs, food, [...]

Bless their cotton socks.

Yesterday’s Zul’Alman run didn’t get off the ground due to “lack of tank”. I’ve been expecting this, the Munqui Tribe has quite a few dedicated healers, and a few seriously excellent players that will re-spec to help out, what we don’t have is enough tanks. I should clarify, we *do* have enough tanks, but we [...]

Cost of raiding?

OK, this is a fairly standard post, how much does it actually cost to raid? Last Tuesday Flowersz was present at what counts as a progression raid, the last two dragons in Karazahn… Here’s what she used, as a progression Flowersz downed her best potions and ate her best food. She would have been better [...]

Nerf points, class balancing and Anti-classes

First off I should warn you  that  know hardly anything about PvP and this is a PvP post. You hear an awful lot of moaning about how such and such a class is overpowered in PvP and I’ve had an idea that might give players the control to implement their own balancing. Drumroll, introducing Nerf [...]

Good, but not good enough

Another progression post… After canceling Tuesdays Kara run, it was re-instated ad-hoc to start an hour later. Mondays team had cleared all except the two dragons so that’s what we were after. It went so-so, Netherspite went down after one wipe, but Nightbane was another story. Four wipes later we did manage to tame the [...]

sweet

Now Flowersz is now exulted with the Shattered Sun Offensive,  random SSO soldiers will make flattering comments about her prowess. Its still amusing me (and Flowersz). Not like those bloody arrogant Aldor who barely condescend to acknowledge her existence. On another topic, there’s been a fair bit of commentary on the “refer a friend” scheme [...]

A shortie

Not a story about Flowersz, but an old vignette about my main at the time… Szar’s story The inn was full of smoke and, for a change, filled with a rowdy boisterous mob, seemingly drinking to forget. What they were forgetting was unclear, most of the new crowd had drunk enough to forget their own [...]

An old Story

Not too good a piece, I can see all sorts of issues with it, but hopefully not a waste of your time. The evening began with Flowersz sitting in the Honor Hold inn resting and enjoying a well earned meal with perhaps a quiet drink or ten. At least that was the plan, if only [...]

First attempt at characterization

Yeah, so here’s a page with some thoughts on quite who Flowersz is. At the moment it’s all surface with no depth, I’m hoping it will deepen as I start looking at what is happening to her in WoW from this direction. I’ve got an old RP story on the Munqui site that I may [...]
