Gnomesblight the grand master miner, crappy blacksmith Death Knight

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

My Death Knight has been mining, mining, mining. I finally kicked the mithril habit, after making many laps around Tanaris collecting ore and crafting a couple of dozen mithril coifs. Finally able to use thorium I withdraw the one hundred and sixty four thorium bars from the bank ...

The Death Knight cookbook

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Death Knights may have good first aid skills when starting out, but just as trained professions start from scratch so does cooking. My initial plan for Gnomesblight was to complete quests as I mined ore for blacksmithing, allowing me to gain faction reputation as well hunt beasts to let ...

Gnomesblight, Death Knight weaponsmith

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

I have some time outside of grouping with my Death Knight friend at the moment. I thought I'd try to get the weaponsmith quest out of the way, as it isn't the most exciting of endeavours to undertake when twenty or so levels above the requirement, as well as ...

Mining in Westfall with a Death Knight

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

My Death Knight, Gnomesblight, has been running around Westfall recently, and she's not the only one. Despite being granted rank 270 in all skills a Death Knight starts with, including weapon skills and first aid, this does not include any professions you choose once free from the Lich King's ...

Weekend warcrafting

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Continuing her questing in Hellfire Peninsula in the Outlands Sapphire finds out just how starving some Hellboars are when even the merest sniff of meat sends a dozen of them hurtling in her direction at once. It is a little irritating, because it means a path has to be ...

Rather not be fishing

Friday, September 12th, 2008

With every new character in World of Warcraft that I plan to play significantly I always promise that this is the one where I'll keep my fishing skill in line with my level. There is some lure to fishing in World of Warcraft, with many types of fish being ...
