Death knight tanking and spanking

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

The interesting part of my two recent instance runs is how adaptable the death knight is to the two rôles of tanking and spanking. Simply by changing presences the death knight is viable in both rôles, although holding two sets of suitable equipment is necessary to be effective. ...

Gnomesblight conquers The Nexus and Utgarde Keep

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

In World of Warcraft my warrior, Sapphire, has been through The Nexus with a pick-up group (PuG) as well as going on a guild run of Utgarde Keep. My death knight, Gnomesblight, on the other hand, has yet to experience an instance in Northrend. With the guild's successful ...

Selling like hot cakes

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

One day of being on the market and over 80,000 Scourge heavy missiles have sold from my production run. This gets me back my investment in the run as well as some profit, leaving the remainder of the missiles as pure profit when they sell. Considering how quickly ...

So much to do, plenty of time to do it

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Thousands more missiles roll of the production line, ready to be sold for a small profit that adds up decently for the quantities involved. It took a few days for this run to complete and I might leave it a day or two to see how this production run ...

Jumping through hoops in World of Warcraft

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

I am exploring Northrend a little with my death knight, Gnomesblight, when I stumble in to Wintergarde Keep. It isn't my first visit, as a chat with some NPC in an eastern zone, probably Howling Fjord, ended up with me randomly being thrown on gryphons and sent half-way across ...

Missiles shoot off the market

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Blimey, all my Scourge heavy missiles sell within a day of putting them on the market, perhaps because I undercut the market. I was still careful to make a profit. Considering how many missiles I use on any individual level three mission and how often I am replenishing ...

This is a local shop for local people

Friday, January 30th, 2009

With missiles and modules rolling off the production line I mention my proclivity to buy what I need locally. Rather than jump to a nearby system to save a bit of ISK I will pay slightly more for the convenience of being able to stay in the station, from ...

Rolling off the production line

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

My first manufacturing jobs in EVE Online finish, with a couple of thousand Scourge heavy missiles waiting ready to be picked up. As I mentioned, it was only after I had started the manufacture of the missiles that I realise the number of missiles being produced would perhaps last ...

Ascending Utgarde Keep

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

I spend so much time in New Eden that it is almost the end of the weekend before I wake up Sapphire in World of Warcraft. My guild is optimistic about getting a Northrend instance run scheduled and I am looking forwards to it myself. The choice is ...

Making test missiles

Monday, January 26th, 2009

I spent plenty of time as a capsuleer this weekend. Many thanks go to Kirith Kodachi who gave me a researched BPO for Scourge heavy missiles. I buy some minerals off the market and install a job in to a manufacturing slot to produce a healthy number of ...
