Arkonor can really glow! Granted, at least one of the capsuleers needs to have impeccable mining skills, and perhaps just the right camera angle is needed, but pulsing strip miners on two Retrievers and a full complement of drones results in an impressive light show. If there were ...

The w-space system holding our mobile tower is now a minimum of two wormholes deep, making it more awkward to enter from and exit to k-space. Although having a static high-sec exit is remarkably convenient for coming and going, once the system is cleared of sites of local Sleeper ...

Worgen and wolves, wolves and worgen. There is so much potential leather in Shadowfang Keep that a tan mist falls over Vulzerda's eyes. Indeed, after the first couple of rooms are cleared of worgen and wolves, wolves and worgen, Vulzerda uses her hearthstone to return to Stormwind and ...

The convenient cluster of Lai Dai agents is quite close to low-sec space. They are not so close to low-sec that I am unlikely to be able to pick up an encounter mission, rejecting anything that will take my PvE ship to hostile space, but courier missions run the ...

Training in battlecruiser V is complete. I can now sneak command ship skill training in to the queue, breaking the monotony of Amarr cruiser training. I first need to buy the expensive skill book from a war academy, which I do as part of a mineral shopping spree. ...

Warping AFK on AP is much more effective with the AP switched on. Otherwise, you're just AFK.

We clear the Deadmines. Big deal, everyone has. Gryan Stoutmantle must have hundreds of masked heads of Van Cleef rotting in Sentinel Tower by now. But a feat that few characters have bothered to do since Northrend was put on the map is to run from Stormwind ...
