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,
Ambassador Helmaree

Patch 2.4.3 is LIVE!

So of course the first thing I did when I logged in this morning - and I got straight on too, having downloaded the patch last night during maintenance - was get Bellor her mount!

I just couldn't decide whether to stick with the lock mount, or get a racial mount.... so I got both!

I also took the liberty of getting the new patterns available from Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris for [Dress Shoes], [Haliscan Jacket] and [Haliscan Pantaloons]. Screenshot will be forthcoming :)
Edit: Here's Clothybanker in his new threads!

Now all I need to do is H Old Hillsbrad to get Helmaree [Don Carlos' Famous Hat] and I'm set! lol

Now I'm Getting Crabby!

But seriously... I'm busting at the seams since reading the PTR Notes! Mounts at lvl 30! Finally, Blizzard have given me a good reason to play my alts. There's nothing that sucks more than walking everywhere, especially once you get used to Epic Flyer bliss.

In other news, Gangstarter and Bellor got to get some Gnomeregan quests completed yesterday (Thanks Rem!), and Bellor dinged to lvl 33! Which meant she could finally put on her Mantle of Doan and Robe of Doan. She looks rather spunky now, don't you think?!
