Brewfest is on! I meant to post about it when it started. From now until 10/06/2020, head on over to the area just outside Ironforge (Alliance) or Orgrimmar (Horde) to participate in fun games, try your hand at ram racing (daily), defeat Coren Direbrew (daily), and chow down at the eating contest! Win the eating contest 5 times, and trade in your trophies for the Brewfest Chowdown Trophy. Wowhead has a comprehensive guide to Brewfest that you can view here.

Today, in the Secret Finder discord, Jenafur was found. After nearly a year of searching, Amara can finally be reunited with her cat. Best of all, you get to keep her as your very own battle pet! Once you talk to Amara, head over to Return to Karazhan. Here is the guide on Wowhead. I recommend killing all mobs first, then running back to the banquet hall to get the food items. You don’t have to kill Moroes unless you trigger him. You do have to complete the opera house boss fight. I used the Wowhead guide for the food gathering and placement. Here are the steps I took to obtain Jenafur:
Continue ReadingSince the Shadowlands preview at BlizzCon 2019, as they have been attempting to save Azeroth, players have been eagerly awaiting release date information. From level squishes to new covenants, much awaits us in the Shadowlands. As Sylvanas seized the Helm of Domination from Bolvar, many of us figured she would simply don a new look. Oh no. We were silly to think that, especially given how she has been acting. Instead, the Banshee Queen broke the helm, splintering the gateway between life and death.
Continue ReadingI just picked up my laptop and can’t wait to get back into the groove of things. In hindsight I should have postdated a bunch of articles, but I didn’t. Last week we were at CES, and it was a blast! Even though it was far more crowded, we got to see a lot, test a few things, and catch up with old friends. I tried the Impossible “pork”, which was okay. I’m not a fan of five spice, but that addition, plus the other things in the banh mi, definitely made it pork-like. I’ll have some images from CES up in a bit.
Continue ReadingIt seems like just yesterday Legion was announced at BlizzCon, and now we can finally create Demon Hunters. I am a couple of days late on this, but I am still super excited about Demon Hunters in WoW. I haven’t created a character yet, but I will in the next couple of days. Currently, Demon Hunters can only be Blood Elves or Night Elves, but I’m hoping that changes. How awesome would it be to have a Gnome Demon Hunter?! I think s/he would be simply adorable…and deadly. If you would like to learn more about Demon Hunters, wowhead.com has a breakdown that you can read here.

There are also new cinematics, and the loss of prominent figures for both Horde and Alliance. If you would like to see the Broken Shore cinematic, courtesy of Robor, click below.
Once I have a character, I will post its progress as well as my opinions. What are you looking forward to most with Legion? Have you created your Demon Hunter?

If you had asked me 10 years ago, I would have said that I would never play World of Warcraft. I didn’t see the point, and thought that it was a waste of time. Plus, I had played (only once) and thought it was idiotic that I had to wait to be hit before I could hit back. Well, times have changed, and I used a trial that my friend had. My first character is part of the Alliance. I created a Death Knight (blood) and named her Darphynia. She is a dwarf with glowing eyes and loves to attack/kill everything in sight. She also loves to mine, is an engineer, and loves her pets and mounts. Don’t let her size fool you…she’ll zap ya faster than you can slap a tick!
Within the first week of playing, I found myself not wanting to go anywhere after I had finished my daily routines because I felt that I needed to quest…it became somewhat of an obsession. Fortunately, I can say that that phase did not last long, and now it is over. I prefer to quest, but dungeons help my characters level faster. The only problem is that you are reliant on others to complete the dungeons, and we all know how rare it is to find a good group. My current mission is to obtain the Ashes of Al’ar mount. I have two characters nearly at 100, and a few more that are on their way.
My friend asked me how I named my characters. Some people pick a name at random, and others will use their imagination to create their own. Aside from Darphynia and Anzuki (my Monk Panda who is slightly named after my cat), all of my characters have been named for a reason. They have an origin, whether it is Celtic, Greek, etc., and I try to give them a name that best suits their look and what they do. For example, my Horde character is Histolytica. She is an Undead Rogue named after a parasite that feeds on living cells. Because she is Undead, she can eat most of what she kills to regain her health.
If you don’t have it already, I highly recommend the WoW Armory app. It allows you to view your characters, take a screenshot, and includes guild chat, currency count, and access the auction house. I will have posts later on focusing on my other characters. Who knows; maybe there will be a game-play video or two, in the future, as well.
