Melted video card

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

If only a melted video card were an EVE Online salvaged component, I would be happy to find one and sell it on the market for half-a-million ISK. Sadly, the melted video card is sitting in my computer. I experienced a game freeze in World of Warcraft when running Gnomesblight ...

Gnomesblight, master swordsmith Death Knight

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Having reached a mining skill of 400 with Gnomesblight, my Death Knight, my stock of fel iron ore seems sufficient to get back to an anvil to craft some armour to hone my blacksmithing skills. Carefully selecting the more complicated patterns I have been taught I find that my ...

More efficient Death Knight mining

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Despite being sick of mining with my Death Knight I still had ore to gather if I wanted to increase my blacksmithing skill so that I could craft my Stoneforged Claymore. I still take time out to enjoy the Death Knight class by questing, but I have a target ...

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 ...

Live action super hero!

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

It has already been established that I am a furry and I have mentioned having made a rudimentary tiger outfit. When I started playing City of Heroes my natural instinct was to create a super hero catwoman—but not a 'Catwoman' super hero—and Sue Purr was born. My penchant for tiger-style ...

Gnomesblight visits Underbog

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Whilst flying to Ashenvale after failing to find a campfire in Felwood on which to cook my bear flanks I am offered a spot in a group that is looking to conquer Underbog, part of Coilfang Reservoir in Zangarmarsh. Despite normally being shy with new people, as well as ...

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 ...

Probing the Death Knight

Friday, December 5th, 2008

I have been a bit unsure as to what powers my Death Knight's abilities. Certain talents refer to 'spells', yet they certainly aren't powered by mana, and other abilities are based on melee attacks. I think I'll try experimenting to find out what stats would be best to ...

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 ...

A new Cormorant for more efficient salvaging

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

'Ah, Cadet Ibramovic. You're looking chipper today!' My Minmatar agent was happy to see me as always. Although her second sentence may have been only in my imagination it would have been rude not to comment. 'Thank you, I'm feeling pretty good. I have just bought and ...
