My first datacores

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

I have some datacores! I only have a handful, and only of one type, so I am not about to start inventing, but it is progress. I started the research process not too long ago, racking up twenty five research points a day from a low quality level ...

The beginning of the end

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Just as my death knight reaches 80th level I feel compelled to push my warrior to the current level cap in World of Warcraft. Being over half-way through 79th level it shouldn't take too long to complete the levelling adventure, even if it has been five months since the ...

For the Alliance! Again!

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

A little while back I got in to an Alliance raid to assassinate the four leaders of the Horde. Whilst Thrall and Sylvanas Windrunner fell to our onslaught a second raid had already visited Cairne Bloodhoof in Thunder Bluff and Lor'themar Theron in Silvermoon City, cutting the adventure short. ...

Working on my refinement

Monday, April 13th, 2009

Back when I was making the move from mission runner to industrialist in EVE Online I looked at the certificate system and the skills available to determine what I should train to be effective. As there is no Mac version of EVEMon I had to create my own low-tech ...

Nearly there

Friday, April 10th, 2009

Gnomesblight, my death knight, has been spending most of her time in Wintergrasp still. Most of the time is spent participating in the regular battle to control the zone, but in-between battles the zone is almost empty, with no regular quests or accessible entry routes or flight points, making ...

Fujiya & Miyagi at Cargo

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

It is a night of overturned expectations for me. I was thinking it would be a simple matter of turning up to the venue, waltzing inside with my ticket and watching an electronic band perform some groovy tracks for an hour. My expectations didn't last as far as ...

Panda cattery

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

My neighbour's cat has been spending an awful lot of time with me, seemingly either being inside my flat or outside and roaming, and the neighbour hadn't been around to check that Panda cat was okay. However, after quite a few weeks my neighbour calls and asks, 'Is my ...

Argument to allow non-80s in Wintergrasp

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

I join a raid group for another battle for Wintergrasp in the middle of another discussion about throwing out all the characters below 80th level. The raid leader is 74th level and there is a smattering of other lower-level characters in the group, including myself. Appeals to reason ...

Starting research

Monday, April 6th, 2009

In-between running mining missions and being a courier to raise my standing with Core Complexion, Inc. I found a local R&D agent I could access with the corporation. He is only a level two agent, so I believe any research point gains will be relatively slow, but being able ...

Shield recharging time

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

In a previous post about EVE Online's certificate system I noted how the description of the certificates isn't just the corporate nonsense typically found on meaningless awards given merely for turning up to a course, but can be informative and useful both for determining whether the certificate will benefit you ...
