Hallows End Fun

Yes, Hallows End is in full swing, and I've been right there in the thick of it!

Between daily ass-whoopings for the Headless Horseman, and hourly Trick-or-Treating, I've managed to take a few screenshots, grind some rep, and even gain a few extra Achievements along the way.

Oh yeah! I've also got a new mini-pet! A Sprite Darter Egg. I'm working on Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart at the moment, and him plus my new Ancona Chicken (thx Pdx ;)) means I'm well on my way to getting my Reeking Pet Carrier!

So, make sure you enjoy the rest of your Hallows End - the celebrations close at the end of the month!

Echoes of Doom

Yes, the WotLK pre-release patch is finally here!

I've spent the afternoon shopping for mounts and pets, /cowering, getting a haircut and new earrings, and playing with my new talents!

Expect to see more posts from me as I gain achievements and boast about them, aswell as discovering new stuff in-game.

One thing I found kind of confusing (yep, I'm dense), is the new setup for spell bonus damage and healing. But I quickly set myself straight with this great article from WoWInsider.

OH! And in all the hype, don't forget Hallows End is starting this Saturday! This site has an awesome guide to all this years Hallows End content.

Cheers,

Trivia...? Norly!!

Yes, it's true. CENTURION is now holding a weekly in-game Trivia Night!

Now that Brewfest is over ( QQ ), I've come up with a perfect excuse to sit back with your new Warcraft Stein, have a few brews, and prove to your fellow guildies how much you know about mindless trivia.

So, mark it on your calendar, and stock up on pretzels. Every Monday night at 8PM ST (that's Server Time for you n00bs) Trivia will begin!

Pink Elephants. No - Seriously!

That's right folks! You've seen it here! Come to Allerian Stronghold, and see the Pink Elekks!

Apparently a reference to a sequence in the Dumbo movie, where Dumbo and Timothy Mouse accidentaly become drunk and begin hallucinating and seeing pink elephants. You too can now experience this terrifying drunken phenomenon!

If someone has recently completed the quest 'The Final Code', there is a barrel of wine placed outside one of the buildings opposite the inn, which will give you 5 free bottles of booze. Three drinks of this or one 'extremely potent' alcoholic drink will allow you to see the Pink Elekks.


Just don't forget to have your picture taken!

Elite Tauren Chieftain play Shattrath

As usual I was meandering about Shattrath just before logging out when the following announcement was made:
"TAUREN CHIEFTAINS! Playing LIVE, in the WORLD'S END TAVERN! Be there, at the top of the hour! Banished from Shattrath? SNEAK BACK IN!"
I don't know much about the ETC, so I was curious to see what the big deal was about. The performance was alright with the band performing their song "Power of the Horde". I thought the name "Sig Nicious" was quite amusing. The SS isn't the best, but enjoy anyways!

Rem

Edit: They are playing every hour (on the hour) at the moment, and also in the BRD Bar every night at 8PM Server Time!

The End Draws Near

Tomorrow is the last day of the Midsummer Fire Festival - your last chance to purchase rewards with your Burning Blossoms, honor the flame of your favorite city, and desecrate the Horde bonfires one last time!

The day will be concluded with a spectacular display by the Goblins of Undermine, where the sky itself will be set alight! So get yourself dressed up in all your Festival gear, take up a mug, and raise a toast to the season as the sky above explodes into a wondrous display of multicolored fireworks!

I finally got a Captured Flame today, after making a final trek to some more bonfires, finishing my journey at Feathermoon Stronghold in Feralas.

And so one of my favorite in-game events for the year draws to a close. The next Annual event will be the Harvest Festival, to be held from Sept 8 to 13. My next favorite event will follow closely behind, beginning on Sept 20 and running until Oct 4. So get your liver ready for BREWFEST!!

I got my boots!

I logged Helm on this morning to do the Midsummer dailys, and hit 201 Burning Blossoms! I finally, finally have my Sandals of Summer! Unfortunately, with only 4 days of the Festival left, I won't be able to collect 99 more blossoms in time to get the Mantle of the Fire Festival :(
Here I am showing off my Midsummer goodies in IF.

In other news Bellor (my warlock) started her tour of Azeroth to collect her own Burning Blossoms and some very sweet xp! She went from lvl 29 to lvl 31, so there's hope for her yet!
I'm hoping to get her to lvl 35 (with the help of some more bonfire visits) so that she can train Artisan Enchanting and Tailoring. She's been stuck at 225 for what seems to be forever! Here's a screenie of Bellor visiting the bonfire in Undercity.

1st post from mizz

So was anyone going to tell me how annoying the Fire Festival torch throwing and catching was going to be? I'm sure I spent a good 40mins just trying to complete the quests.
anyways I did it! and now i have my juggling torches very cool!...

In other news I got my leather working up to 365 and now I'm stuck! on top of that I'm only 10points off being able to make my own epic's! thats quite depressing ain't it.

Well heres a pic of Mizzdevious at lvl 65. Enjoy...



Ciao for now xx

Invasion Complete!

Today I captured the final 2 flames from Undercity and Silvermoon City, and recieved my Crown of the Fire Festival!

Also, I found a great guide to the Midsummer Fire Festival. It has every piece of information you might want about the Festival and then some!

CENTURION Invades Horde Capitals

Wednesday evening saw Brocy, Drawind and myself journey through Mulgore and scale the heights of Thunder Bluff to steal their flame away! And we succeeded! But forgot to take a screen shot. :(

Yesterday, Brocy and myself laid siege to Orgrimmar, and came away with their flame amid the thwarted attempts of a couple of would-be Horde assassins!

Fear us Horde scum! For we are determined and sneaky! Now, to journey to Silvermoon City and Undercity to complete our work...

Just Showing Off

Here are a couple screenies of my new stuff from the Midsummer Fire Festival. I'm still doing the dailys, hoping to rack up another 200 burning blossoms before the end of the week for the shoes!

I've Been Everywhere, Man!

Well, I spent most of yesterday touring all of Azeroth and Outland in search of Burning Blossoms! Below is a slideshow of just some of the places I visited.

In total, I visited 60 different bonfires - some Horde and some Alliance - to collect blossoms. And what did I choose?

The Brazier of Dancing Flames and Vestment of Summer!

I'm going back on later to pick up the last few bonfires, do the Midsummer dailys, and get me those Dancing Shoes!

Burning Love

The Midsummer Fire Festival has to be my favorite in-game event of the whole year!



And this year they've re-vamped it, with new quests (including dailys!) , a new boss challenge for lvl 70 players, and some new vendor rewards!



So, I'll be spending the next week trying to rack up 350 Burning Blossoms to buy a Brazier of Dancing Flames :O
