Vanilla servers 5

After an evening of playing and get this .... da da da dum (drum roll) killing Hogger with a paladin helping. He is a level 11 elite I attained the heady heights of level 9. One more level and I get more spells

Also who knew demon trainers were a thing? I have myself some grimoires for my imp now. Also I did not know you had to right click on a demon spell to keep it active. Noob warlock - it is also interesting that the folks in the Slaughtered Lamb all have a purpose now rather than just one being the trainer

I made my ways to iron forge... you have to wait a lot longer for the tram and there are a lot of people running down there. Omg the place is busy

Literally hundreds of people and I nearly forgot the flight path

I finished a few quests in the Fargodeep mine but died when zoning back in after a D/C. Very few graveyards :)

Addons

So the site nostalrius provides a list of valid addons. If you use others you can be hacked and or banned

I cannot get the screenshots to work

Things I found out recently

- soul shards

- separate auction houses

- neutral auction houses

- the Stormwind map ..... there is no harbour

- very few flight masters

- WIM is a thing

So I am at level 5 and made it to Stormwind

I got lost as they moved the entrance to the auction house back

Omg the place was busy.......

Off to the Fargodeep mine next

Go me

So they are not legal but the idea of playing way back is appealing as it took me about a year last time. I have no issues as I pay for the game anyway

Shagrad's Transmog Competition 23/3/2013

Today was the first competition (of hopefully many). Judges were myself and Sfengali (our GM). Entrants and winners as follows

Halren (1st prize 1000g).  Varied matching set with a nice weapon counterpoint

• Red Pointy Hat (Netherstorm)
• Crimson Silk Shoulders (Tailoring)
• Mageflame cloak (World drop)
• Staff (Dire Maul - Quest of Athen'a) - personal fave
• Waterfall Handwraps
• Mage-Fury Girdle (Slave pens)
• Coldwraith boots (random drop LK expansion raid)

Lavarush (2nd prize 500g). Lots of effort on a difficult to obtain set

•  Shoulder, Chest, Hands and Legs of Tier 5 from Sepenshrine and The Eye raids - not an easy run
• Feet - Husk Shard Sabatons (Quest - Death to the Traitor King - Azol Nerub)
• The shield was different for the event having the nice simple metal and single gem in the centre

Shamba (3rd prize 250g). Wonderfully simplistic matching Blue set complemented by a dragon pet

• Brood Killer Shoulderguard (Quest - Brood of Seldarria)
• Powder Burn Vest (Q - Explosives Shredding)
• Bloodstained Twighlight Belt (Q - Something to wear)
• Severed Druid's Leggings (Q - The forest Heart)
• Fancy Footwork (Q - Dances with Grimtotem)
• Main Hand "Meatface Pummler) - (Q - You Too, Brute?)
• Off Hand "Vibro Shanker" - (Q - Cutting your teeth)
• Pet - from memory this was a mechanical dragon

Speartooth (runner up prize "Lovely Blue Dress")

The first prize was hard fought between Halren and Lavarush 
Thanks to all those of you that came. If you have comments on the format then let myself or Fen know. It would be good to have a third judge so if there are any volunteers let me know.

This link (Screenshots) gives all those I took. for the next one I realise now I need individual shots rather than a group. I have included armoury shots but ones at the time would have been better as Lava for example since changed his shield.

Thanks to all of the participants

So how do I get scans to save and display graphs? The dearest has asked me to work out how to use it.

I have added Frostweave and Netherweave cloth which is a start. The graph for Frostweave shows but the stupid graph only shows for that and not Nether. Ugh .... moan over :)

As I have decided to do other things than try and raid maybe making money would be a good thing. To that end I should level my rogue for the lockpicking, my tailor, enchanter and alchemist. For shags he need to get up his BS and JC. That should keep me going for ages.
