What Addons are a must? Rpers

1. I need a Friday Post...

2.  I was a RPer!  And yes some addons were helpful!





To start off, I have two ideas on this.  One is NEED and two is HELP.




NEED

MyRolePlay

Okay, this is a nifty addon!  It allows you to see OTHER RPers (because its hugely popular and indicates them as a fellow RPer), allows you to type in a new Name/Title/Race, ect.  Allows you to put in a description, links to photos, background, and other nifty info to help bring in other people.

It also has a wonderful feature that allows you to say if your OOC (Out of Character) or IN (In Character).  And what stage of RPer so you can let them know if your casual, hardcore, or just starting. 

Like Progression Guilds, Hardcore RPers can be super bitchy and selective about who they let in.  Some have no patience for new people and should be avoided till you are to that level because they will ignore you, try to godmob kill you (And Godmobing is really a freaking sin among RPers!), or just OOC berate you till you scurry off!

Sometimes its guilds, other times its just certain people but even when I was hardcore, I avoided those groups... Mainly because I enjoy being social with the person too.  Like (( Hey, hows your day going IR?  ^.^ )) while in the middle of a serious RP...  Some people enjoy that kind of interaction, especially if their not in full swing of the current issue...  Seriously, some people do RP with issues like depression, anxiety, or just straight out loners.  So they main skulk around the group doing emotes or whispers... I imagine that gets a bit boring...  But having a social interaction can help you bond with the person leading to more RP, friendships, ect!

Moving on!

HELPFUL

SpeakinSpell

This is a cool addon, even if you don't RP.

What it does is sets up automated speech tied to certain actions or spells.  Then you can change how often it happens...  Like 1 in 100 for a spell you spam but maybe 50/50 with a CD you pop every couple minutes.

It works for mounts and pets too!

And you can customize it whats said.  Pick from the options or add your own to match your character or your own personality.

This stuff gets tons of comments on RP realms because it makes you look super hardcore while still focusing on your role.  It adds a extra layer of story so to speak..  Heh...  I learn to laugh at my jokes, yes.

It's also great for non RP with the tedious things like "Gratz!"  You can set up a BUNCH of responses so it randomly does a new one for every achievement/level earned by guildies and party members.  From /cheer to gratz to a long flowery Congratulation speech!  Your call.

Altoholic

This is a personal thing... I use it 99% for PvE but it has been helpful when RPing.  Mainly when I need to Ref another alt, when I need a CERTAIN item (Like the ONLY lovely black dress on my account), or if I have a RP event on any characters.

You get the idea.

Others to check out:

Blush Response

DungeonLore

FairLanguage / LanguageCycle  (Different addons, similar use)

Mylune's Champions (Great for druids, hunters, or animal loving characters!)

Guild Bounty Hunter (Great for Guilds that like the Merc or Bounty Hunter theme!)

GryphonHeart Items  (This one allows you to create and trade conjoured items with certain names, icons, and descriptions.  Its cool, but I personally never got as much use out of it unless I did Guild Events I hosted)

Lore Library

Priestess of the Moon

There was a addon that also changed all your text to a dialect/language of your choice... But I couldn't find it again.  So it may of been removed sadly.

But till next we meet, whats your kind of addon?  Any favorites for RP?

Monk Artifact: Windwalker

This looks like it'll be one heck of an adventure!  It starts with us going to talk with Li-Li and agreeing to be her protector.  From there we take a nice kite ride to Uldum of all things!

Were sent to take out Nadar after a brief chat and look for some clues!  Im starting to feel like Scooby Doo, all these clues..

Dont forget to keep a eye open for the camel statue!  Its a free mount!  (I didnt find it, but YOU might!)

Your clue is looted so back we go.  Ah.. It teleports us to our scenerio portion, what fun.. I dislike the scenerio portions!  Mainly because if I lose power or need to step away I have to start over.

Stage 1:  Protect Li -Li! 

Escorting a kid, sounds like something i've heard before.. o.<

Stage 2:  Chase Li-Li

She breaks through the wind walk!  You can roll up after dodging the tornados. 

Stage 3:  Shocking?

Kill mobs and "Poke" the orbs..

Next, kill the mob! Watch your feet.

Finally ROLL down the steps!

Stage 4:  Storm

Hes going to summon 4 guys.  Silence and watch your feet.  This does hurt a bit more then anything else has so be ready to take more damage.

Three Elemental sets of mobs then a dragon, you wont kill the dragon, you need it for next round...

Stage 5:  A ride?

Time to fly his pet dragon straight to him!  Li-Li will Kite.

Stage 6:  BOSS!

Yap, time to kick some ass!  Watch your feet and silence him as much as you can.  The Damage was pretty Minimual by doing this.

So there they are... Perty as a picture...  Lets snag our loot!

Oh and look, Li-Li gets you back home.

All in all, this was easy enough...  I did it as a 108 Brewmaster 720 ilvl. No relics...  So my damage wasnt stellar.

But I give it a 4/10.  Stage 4 did give some pain but the rest were lack luster.  If I had quest gear it might of been 10 times easier.

Im not sure if being over 101 makes these easier or if the monk ones are just easier for some reason..

But even the healing one at 100 was super easy in comparison to other class/specs stuff.  All the same, I wish you luck in your own questline!

Elve

Trapper Jarrun... Check!

Critter Mastery?  Well this ones a check.  He has undead!  What else would you use?

Some Fast, Multi hitting, Dodgers make this easy as pie.

I started with one using Stampede for a quick finish and dodged on CD.  My second pet was the same except it was Burrow and Dodge on CD.  The third wasn't needed.

So show your Hare, rabbits, rat, and mouse some love for a easy win!

Elve

Shaman Class Mount

Whoo!  Time to get my elemental ride!

It all starts with going back to Class Hall and being told there is a issue in the Wind Relam...  Really?  I half expected it to be Firelands..

Blah, RP walk.. er, float...  Kill the other Windlords from Thrones!  And chop chop because thats how these lords work..

I started with West Winds-Anshai.  As Elemental I could stay max range and easily hit without pulling adds... Keep in mind, this is a dps check.  If your less then 175k you'll get instant killed.  He throws a debuff that will kill at 5 stacks so silence as many Healing Swells as you can!  You wont be able to every other but if you miss one it'll make it much harder...

If you did Broken Shore can probably pull closer to 200k atleast but if your not i'd suggest popping CDs to get you there (even if its a Hero!)

Next was Nezir, the North Wind..  Oyie!

Pretty easy, little damage.  Just watch your feet for frost patches and get out and run around him during Gale because it knocks back and does decent damage. 

Also dont bother silencing, the damage is so minimual you can deal.

Last the East wind Rohash.

He does two nasty abilities...  1 is a vortex he sets on your area its a wide range, pulls you to center and though its light damage it adds up QUICK.  The second is Sandstorm which blows away everything including you!  So you have to run against the current.

The vortex can be hard to see with lower settings but try to place them close to each other because they can easily take up all your space to fight.  So you can heal through or watch your feet..  Ele I suggest they move but Ench with good malstorm generation can easily heal through.

Again, Silencing is pointless, dont bother.

Now once your done you can step in the new swirly air for a safe float to RP talk!  Then you'll get ported home.

Then turn to enjoy your new mount!

Midsummer 2017

((Edited for 2017!!))

Lets start off!


Boss


First off is Ahune!  A instance finder boss (any level can queue as of 2017!) that drops some 850 cloaks, Formula for Deathfrost, and the illusion for Deathfrost.

The bag you get daily has a chance to include a pet Frigid Frostling, Staff of Ahune (Useless with Artifacts, but 850 + its cool!), and some holiday currency.


Bonfires

King of the Fire Festival is a quest from Org or SW that will send you to steal the fires of the other 4 capitals.  Best done in a group/raid!

Awards the Achieve:  Stealing _____ Flames!

You'll go through out the zones putting out the other fractions fires as well as honoring your fractions.  (Be warned, there are horrible assholes who will camp the harder to reach fires such as Crossroads, Exodor, and Eversongs.  I notice the Alliance suffer more since its usually Horde rogues in my experience.  -.-  Report the trolls and don't be afraid to ask for help or start a counter raid attack.  Trust me, NO ONE likes these guys and you'll get TONS of help to make them run and suffer.)

You'll do this on Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, Outlands, Northrends, Vashjr, Deepholm, Pandaria, and the 4 capitals of the opposite Fraction (as mentioned above).

Awards Achieve:   Flame Warden of _________ and Extinguishing ___________ (respectively).


HandyNotes has a curse addon that puts them on your map.


EDIT:  As of 2017 there is also the Broken Shore and Draenor Achievements as well!







If your looking to level, the Ribbon Poles give hour long buffs to increase your exp gain!  If done in the Midsummer clothes you'll get the Achievement "Burning Hot Pole Dance" after one minute.  It'll cost 400 currency to buy the three pieces (CROWN IS NOT THE ONE YOU NEED FOR THIS!!)



Torch Juggler Achievement

Go to Dal with about 10 torches.  Start throwing and catching them as you learned during the Daily.  Do 40 times in 15 secs.  Ya, no, that's what your SUPPOSE to do but the smart kids will put the torch on their bar and then spam click that number with the keyboard while clicking under their character with the mouse.  This will award it with less heartache!

Happy Father's Day!

To all you dads!

You come up with some creative ways to baby sit and game.. Truly...

But a special shout out to my own father.  Its because of him that yall are reading this!  I started gaming to play with him, and from that I became a raider, a RPer, a artist, and a blogger.  Most of my art is based off WoW, playing it gave me direction for wanting to design a game too.  And most importantly, it helped lead me to the man i'll be marrying (See the Creepy Annoucement from Friday!).

So show the father's some love!  :)

Elve

Durian StrongFruit... What kind of fruit is he growing...?

 Oh look another Pet Battle Mastery tick!  ;3

You'll fight two Eles so you want some aquas for your beast.  And these Calf can do it.

Water Jet is your main ability use the other two as you see fit.  I pretty much solo'd the first two with Flat Tooth.

I brought out the Feline for the last because I love blasting them with Darkness, Prowling for increased damage, and using magic.  Or I could like the hat and broom.  I'm weird like that.

But you get the idea I hope.  Easy fight, easy knock out.  I have faith you'll have no issues at all even if you get critted like crazy!

Elve

A Creepy Annoucement of a Personal Nature!

Yall know I'm struggling for Friday post at this time, but I found this awhile ago and it seemed like a good way to share some of my news. 


If you've been reading awhile then you know who Nav/Sal is.  My epic DK boyfriend he was!

Well, he isn't my boyfriend anymore, in fact he hasn't been for a couple months now.

I took this while running around and looking for treasures.  Pretty much, your crashing a wedding and stealing the ring... A Ghost wedding...  This is kind of wrong on many levels.

But Nav and I are actually engaged.  We'll be getting married in December.  <3


Nav and I met in WoW over ten years ago!  We've been together about 5 years this June.


I don't suggest internet dating for everyone, but it worked for us.  We bonded over boss kills, me yapping his ear off, and a mutual interest in gaming.  It was just friends for years before it ever became more... And now he leeches off my internet in exchange for fixing my plumbing (That actually isn't sexual, my father taught him plumbing and tree chopping so he could come cut fire wood for him and fix my 50 year old plumbing issues.) 


And somehow were engaged.  I'm fuzzy on those details honestly.. 


Well, that's all for this post.  But I would love some art, Screenie/SELFIEs, or even post from all of you to go into December and January since i'll be busy with holidays and the honeymoon so any help would be appreciated to no end!


Thank you for all your years of reading!

Elve

Monk Artifact Brewmaster

We start by going to see Tak-Tak and get a freebie kite ride to the Monastary.

Why?  Because were taking the Monkey King's Staff!  And he wants you to solve riddles... Fun..

Starting with Purity:

Head over to the Valley (as the map shows) to get your core.  Pools of Purity seems logical anyway.

  Ah... What a peaceful easy.. Or not!  We have demon issues!

Stay out of bad and kill them both off so you can move off!  And remember the roll to get out of WW!

Onto Land and Barrel!  (They are together...)

You can pick up your sacks as you go in the Granery but those pesky imps must go!

Your brew is inside up top (you will have to run up though).  Kill your hording demon and off we go!

When you have the last item you can turn in!

Now we head to the Jade Temple (oooh it is so pretty too!)  But you'll be doing your name sakes...

BREWING!  Ready to get hammered?  Well first we must brew it!

This is a simple add what I say quest (which was all four items, Water, grain, brew, bananna for me).

Now we know Yu'lon holds the staff and must go ask her to be blessed with it!  Dont forget to talk to the King to begin this part.

Aww... Scenerio time... Talk to the master to start.  First the Scroll keepers (The right).

No skipping to boss, save the pandas!  (I pulled everything.. I felt brave!) Now with the boss watch your feet cuz he starts hurting bad.

Run through the barrage, heal up and save the dragon! (Oh look, we just got a healer!)

Keep demons off her while she heals (you fill a bar!) Its not too straining just do what you do.

She's saved!  Now kill the last boss (I kited him around the circle to avoid the raining fire and his AoE bad.)

Boom.  Done!  Yay!

I was a 108 using mostly 700 stuff (I was leveling off invasions) and the 740 staff you can buy.  This was pretty easy.

I'd get it a 2/10 with 1 being easy and 10 hard.  Maybe a 4 if you've NEVER played a tank..  It was a lot of running and easy fights with a good healing NPC.  Just watch your feet and your golden!

Till next time!

Elve

WTF 23: Cant they fix this shit? -.-;

Several of these quest have had their requirements reduced but the quest log and text aren't always reflecting this change leaving you half way done and attempting to get the next part that just wont drop.

They did fix this issue with SOME quest in 7.2 but not all.

So please report them if you see them so they'll get their act together!  Maybe they don't know... Maybe they don't care... Who can say?

Nightwatchmen love Pets too!

This one can be use for Pet Battle Master Beast As well.

There are many ways to do this one but I'm showing this one today.

My first one is a bought pet but one with a group heal can fill that place.  You mainly just wanna limit the pain of the AoEs. 

The second one has to go against a undead so critter attacks were a must.  I love applying the damage increase debuff and then knocking huge chunks out.  It makes me very happy.. Since it is a undead, I try to time a Stampede during the immortal phase so that atleast one will hit the last pet and apply that awesome debuff.

For the last I wanted a Strong attacker.  I love using Prowl and blasting them for a huge chunk.  Just remember not to waste a round of the debuff if you got stampede off before dying on the second pet. 

Either way, kitty will make short work on them.

So Happy hunting and grats on a tick off your Pet Battle Masters Achieves.

Class Mount: Mage

As promised!


There are three quest (aka the three specs!)  i'll go through each line separately because you have to do all three anyway.


Arcane Line

This one is the easiest.  The quest will send you to Dalaran to speak to our favorite portal guard.  She will provide you with this disc and your off.


Fire Line

While in Dal go talk to Khadgar.  He'll send you to the center of Dal and through a port to Kara.  His friend Alturus has the piece in his study in the cellars below but you must "Fight" to the portal.  No...  You just run through and Invis if needed when you hit the portal... 


Frost Line

This one took my effort..

If you have the Ancient Dal port then you can use this to get to the Dal Crater.  If not, theres a port in the center of new Dal (Horde can port to UC too).

Speak to the Archmage near the lake.  Really?  Orges too it?  Well then...

Even though the quest and map make it look that way you do not have to kill random lowbies or search buildings.  A Blue Orge mage will spawn, he is 110.  He has what you need.  He pats abit but stands out like a sore thumb.


Now back to the class hall to turn in and be sent to EoE!


Your going to have to fight each disc.. I did it as fire.  Being able to cast scorch while moving and having tons of instant spells made this a super easy thing since I could blink to heal and just pat around.  But I have decent gear so these things were going down pretty quick.  Assuming you used shards to get 850+ stuff I doubt you'll have a issue.  But if you do, there are vendors who repair, sell healing items, and shields to block damage.


Once your done you'll have a little RP in your class hall and BOOM!

Enjoy!

Class Mounts: Requirement for the Quest

Class Mounts just came out so I'm doing a couple things.  First I'm doing this post.  And then I'm going to do some Friday post on the classes quest (kind of like I do for Artifacts-short and sweet!).

As yall know my Friday post are usually SELFIE and Screenies but my stock pile has dwindled so I've had to limit those.  I've got mixed reactions to it.  But Doing this on every alt is going to take time and i'd like to keep my Weds post more diverse since its the main post...  Heck, I'm still trying to do post on all the artifacts so i'll probably be throwing some of those on Friday too. 

But if you like the Screenies, have no fear they will be thrown in too! 


I'll link each class back here as well and then probably link the entire thing to the Artifact page once its done.

Onto the post!

Now this is NOT shared!  You have to do this on EVERY class/alt that is going to get the mount...  But the mount CAN be used on all levels of that class once you have it.  (Even my 20 mage could use it!  So never fear... Unlike the hidden appearance this is shared.


Now your main probably has done all these but your alts might feel the pain.

Your going to have to do the achievement Breaching the Tomb.

This means you'll need to have Defending Quest and do a Assault, you'll have to kill 100 demons in certain areas many times, you'll need to farm Sentinax, do the starter stuff, that scenario that sucks balls when your a fresh 110 with no bloody gear...  Go ahead and save up 2.5k of shards so he can take ONLY 1!  (WHY?!)  Prepare to scour the shore for boxes and hope the tower is up so you can see them on the map...  Oyie...  Just saying it makes me wanna cry...  Oh, and Champion the cause by doing a mission connected to the shore.  Its no longer the Elite Strike only but no one is sure what all will and wont count towards it.  So save that armor tokens and spend like crazy for them!




Ugh, I wish you all luck during that hell but the reward is worth it.  The first one will naturally be on the mage (since she is my 'main' for the expac, sorta.)



Happy Hunting.

Updates on 500 Prep... Anyone good at coding?

UGH!

I hate coding, its so finicky! Especially app style...

I can build a site from the ground up but getting one embedded feature to work is like pulling teeth...

<X id="forum_embed"
  src="javascript:void(0)"
  scrolling="no"
  frameborder="0"
  width="900"
  height="700">
<X>

<script type="text/javascript">
  document.getElementById('forum_embed').src =
     'https://groups.google.com/forum/embed/?place=forum/wow-anonymous-blog-list'
     + '&showsearch=true&showpopout=true&showtabs=false'
     + '&parenturl=' + encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);
</script>

Replace the two X with iframe and you have the current code I'm fighting with to create and more secure mail list that has less painful steps!

But it just continues to make a blank box.  Its embedding with a empty frame of the size but the script that would allow you subscribe is refusing to budge for me...

So if your wondering about that lovely box to the right... Yah, that's my progress.

Oh well, i'll keep at it.  If any of you have some experience with in coding and maybe see my issue I am all ears. 

Coding is like a puzzle that breaks everytime you fix a issue... At first it wasn't sizing right, then it wasn't appearing at all, then it was just showing code script... On and on...  I've spent a couple hours on it... Break time.  May you have better luck!

Demon Hunter... Murloc... I think were F*'d

 

Like last week you need three undead.  Its a easy fight and any undead will work.

The team from last week would work.  The bone serpent nearly solo'd it, Graves finished it.

So if you are new and don't have a huge variety three undead pets with undead abilities...  That's what yah need.

Beach Bodies Part 3 Moderation and Motivation

Look, gaming is great...  But Life is great too, even if it feels like it sucks right now.


You need motivation and confidence to get or keep a nice body... And neither will come in your constantly looking at a perfect avatar with no one to see your work.


So keep in touch to Real Life.  Show off your hard earned smaller waist and more toned looks.


You cant do that while playing 12 hours of WoW sadly...  Ever played for what feels like 3 minutes, done nothing, find out its been 6 hours?  That might be a issue...

If your playing for hours on end the game gets tedious, dull, frustrating... 


So try limiting your time or having days you don't get on.  And then during the off time call friends, go out. do some chores, or keep up the work out. 


Why?  Because the game is great but it cant motivate you!  If I told my guildies I dropped 30 pds, how would they know I'm lying?!  My coworkers would NOTICE but my in game friends will just see my avatar.  Thin as ever.


Also.. Never compare yourself to your avatar, not even the pandas.


These are pixels... Their perfect and meant to appeal.  Even the "Chubby panda" is designed to have most of the weight as curves you'd want (big booty and boobs) atleast for females...  Males... Hope to never be your male panda.


But don't think you need to have a waist so tiny like blood elves, don't think your boobs are too small while looking at the human or pandas.  Guys don't think you need those 6 or 8 packs... Most girls aren't counting and are happy if we can see ribs or beer guts... 


Be the best you, you can be!  Love who you are and strive to be healthy, not perfect like models.  Because that's what will really make you beautiful. 


I know I started this about having that "Beach Body" but honestly, if I said "Lets live healthier!" most of you would of ignored it...  And these steps I've given are a great starting stone towards the true beach body but I really don't think you need.  A little fat can be healthy (key word is little mind you, we all have problem areas that wont give!).


Live long and prosper.
