Zul'Aman Info

Zul'aman

  • 10 Players raid
  • No attunement or key required
  • Trash can call adds by beating nearby war drums
  • 4 Loas (animal bosses) : Dragon Hawk God, Eagle God, Lynx God, and Bear God.
  • 2 Other bosses : a Witch Doctor and Zul'jin (Hakkar style, he'll be able to use animal powers from the other bosses).
  • Rescue missions quest, giving better rewards depending of the time you take to complete it.


Here are the relevant parts of the Gamespot news, check their site for the Full Version

"Zul'Aman is a smaller raid dungeon that's better suited for 10-character parties than the full-on 25-character raids that some of the game's larger dungeons demand. Because the dungeon will not require any keys or attunements to enter, the dungeon seems intended to be more accessible to players on tight schedules. Much of the layout will call for methodical clearing of troll enemies who may call for help by beating on nearby war drums, which summon additional trol warriors to fight. Each of the four avatars, which have respectively been infused with the spirits of a bear god, a dragonhawk god, a lynx god, and finally, a god of evil, may also summon help as well as assume different forms over the course of battle. Once players have defeated each avatar, they'll eventually take on the witch doctor who started the whole mess, and finally do battle with Zul'Jin himself. The final troll boss will not only be a powerful foe; he'll also be able to draw upon the ghostly spirits of each of the four liberated animal gods and change his own shape to assume their powers.

In addition to offering challenging encounters against these mighty foes, Zul'Aman is also apparently intended to encourage players to tackle it repeatedly to master its content. There will be several characters hanging around just outside the dungeon to give out quests that take place within the dungeon, including hunting for treasure and liberating four different hostages who have been taken captive by the armies of each of the four avatars. The rescue missions will apparently be timed and will yield better rewards if completed early.

Blizzard also plans to release additional, smaller patch updates before then that will add two new features: integrated voice chat and guild banks. Voice chat will be added to the game free of charge, will mute the game slightly whenever someone talks (so that you won't need to talk over any onscreen battles), and will use onscreen icons to indicate who's saying what, so that you'll be able to quickly determine which team member in your party is asking for help. The guild banks, on the other hand, will let guild officers create vaults to store the guild's entire possessions, as well as set permissions to limit access to certain items if they care to."


I'll update the site later with our loot from Gruul's Lair & TK Trash

Warlocks & Shadowpriest hit by the nerf bat

Quote from: Eyonix

In the next major content patch, the combat rating, resilience, will also reduce the damage dealt by damage over time (DoT) effects. As it currently stands, each new tier of equipment adds to the amount of damage DoT abilities have, yet that damage is not mitigated through combat ratings found on typical equipment. This change will help ensure that DoT effects do not scale too well compared to other damage mechanics.

The amount of damage reduced will be equal to the critical chance reduction effect that resilience grants.

Calm Period

Last night we had a night off to grind money/food/whatnot for the upcoming week of raiding.

With the servers being down for 2.5 more hours, i cant really post anything because nothing really happened :)

Tonight we are going Gruul's Lair if the server allows it.

Tempest Keep + Karazhan update

Last night we went to Tempest Keep and Killed Void Reaver on our second try!

Only got 1 random epic (another Nether Vortex) , but the loot from Void Reaver was for once different :)

Pauldrons of the Vanquished Defender (Yes, 5th time in 3 kills)
Pauldrons of the Vanquished Hero (Woot, Hero stuff, we want more!)
Warp-Spring Coil (Second time in 3 kills)

Because we were done so early, we went into Karazhan to kill Prince for my T4 head & our mage's Mindblade (after Prince bugged on Thursday by spawning 3 infernals in 5 seconds @ phase 3).

Guess what? They BOTH dropped ! (for the first time in like....12 Prince kills?)

Helm of the Fallen Hero (YAY, 4 pieces of T4 now ^^)
Nathrezim Mindblade

Boosting twinks = fun

So 2 days ago i saw this guy asking for Fiery Weapon enchant.
I whispered him saying i'll do it if you got mats, he has them, so i move to SW to enchant it .
Put the enchant on & get 3g fee, from a level 15 char. Okay...rich fucker! Right?

Wrong. A soon-to-be twink it was! Not like it mattered for me at that point, but still....

So then i got the whisper asking me if i could boost the fellow thru Deadmines.

I said : "Sure, how much do i get for it?" You'll never guess his reply!


Think you have guessed it?

Well he paid me 15g per run. FIFTEEN GOLD for a DM boost which takes like 20 minutes!
In the end i ran him 4 times for a whopping 60 gold in little over an hour.

The item he wanted didnt drop tho...poor guy....or actually, rich , poor guy :)

So if you see someone in trade asking for a boost, perhaps its a twink who pays you well ^^

God i've been slacking again

Slap me around with a trout or any other fish for not updating this site lately ><

Been busy raiding & various other stuff tho :P


I'll update it either today or tomorrow with a few things i meant to post yesterday ><

Twas a very fun raid, we had a good laugh, also did the snake boss and raptor boss (mount didnt drop, goddamnit ><).

Afterwards, we went Karazhan to down Illhoof & Nightbane (both first try), to conclude raiding for the week (it all resets today ;) )

(Dis)Enchanting to make profit



Now i know most of you think : why would i pick up enchanting to get money? it only costs money?
Well you couldnt be more WRONG.

I picked up enchanting 2 months ago, powerlevelled it to 375 in 5 days (soloed lowbie instances like Deadmines, SFK, SM, Uldaman, ZF, etc.) , though it still cost me around 900g overall (i'm a lazy git, what do you expect when you play World of Warcraft for so long).

The part most of you might stuggle with , is levelling enchanting.

For me, it was pretty easy. I just went to AH, bought the lower level items for which the enchants were (e.g. bracers, shield, boots) and enchanted those over & over again till i could learn new enchanting formulas. Of course when someone said in [2. Trade] " need this enchant" , i'ld jump on it & make sure i'ld get the skill from it before someone else!

Levelling enchanting from 1 to 300 Guide


I know you still wont have made any money (except for those 2-3 random enchants) , but we are getting there!

Once you reach 300, you'll have a load of mats you cant use to skill up further, like Illusion Dust, Large Brilliant shards, and others.
Put these mats on AH and you'll earn some of your money back.

Then start levelling to 350 as fast as you can ( using this guide ) , once you've reached 350, the fun begins.

First of all, go get this formula to make some very nice profits.

"But it requires alot of arcane dust" , you say? I know, and that's why i'll tell you an easy trick to get arcane dust, not involving much farming (unless you're a big fan of it).

Netherweave cloth if one of the most common drops in Outlands. Useless if you're not into tailoring or first aid? WRONG again!
Grind/buy as much cloth as you can (lets say 25 stacks) and -if you're a tailor yourself , or get a guildie to do it - turn it into Bolt of Netherweave.
These cant be disenchanted Pengo!
- I know! BUT.....!

Ask your tailoring friend to use the bolts to make Netherweave belts / Netherweave Bracers for you. Then start disenchanting those, and collect some nice Arcane Dust.
You will also get Lesser Planar Essences, which you can turn into Greater Planar Essences . These go on the Auction House for 5g or more (depending on your server).

I used tailoring in this example, but this can be done with any crafting profession (tailoring, blacksmithing, leatherworking, etc.)

All you need are items between level 60 & 65-66, which NORMALLY give you 2-5 arcane dust per piece.

When you have about 60 arcane dust, start offering to sell the enchant for 25-30g with your mats, or 2-5g fee with their mats. This is 1 of the most popular enchants , next to +12 Agility on boots & + 150 HP on chest. (Besides the ones from Karazhan)

You can also, as a level 70, still run the level 55-60 instances, disenchant those greens (for greater eternal essence) and the blues (for large brilliant shards, and if you're lucky a nexus crystal) , because these are ALWAYS in demand.

Karazhan update from 30-06-2007

So we unexpectedly did Karazhan last night , in the hope to get my T4 head after 9 weeks .

We started by giving Shade of Aran a crack, he went down after second try with only 2 ppl on interrupting (rogue & mage). He dropped 2 crapix (crappy epix) & no enchanting formula.

Then we went for Prince, whose infernals just loved to box us in, or he decided to enfeeble + phase 3 at the same time. Same story here, 3 crapix (still no T4 head, for fuck sake).

So i ticketed a GM to ask if the helmet could be replaced with one we could actually use (you never know, eh), but i got their #1 macro "Droprate working as intended" - my ass.

Anywayz, tonight we're going Tempest Keep again, should be fun ...

I might update this site later, tho due to the lack of people actually reading this, i doubt anyone cares.

Small Heroic Mana Tombs Guide

Just finished a Heroic Mana Tombs run with guildies which went very well (only died twice cuz of overnuking oO) so here are some general tips :

Group setup (not sure if this is ideal but it works well)

* Protection Warrior
* Feral druid (with dps gear)
* Fire/Arcane Mage
* Affliction Warlock (your's truly)
* Holy Priest

Bosses

Pandemonius needs to be tanked by the prot Warrior, who's standing with his/her back against the wall on your right side as you enter the room. The feral Druid goes catmode with DPS gear on & stays behind the boss. The dps and healer stands in the corner on the right, so they dont get the knockback. Dont dps when he shifts into the void, spamheal the tank & burn the boss down asap are keywords here.
Shadow resistance gear for the tank is optional here.

Tawarok is a basic tank and spank fight, while the healer keeps up a HoT on the tank in case of the eartquake or the crystal prison. Pretty easy boss overall.

Nexus-Prince Shaffar has 3 balls around him. Mage opens the fight with a pyroblast on 1 add & kills it while the Warlock and Feral druid kill an other add. Then the mage starts AoEing the adds, while the feral Druid & the Warlock go all out on the boss, tanked by the prot Warrior. The faster you burn him down, the better. Kill any remaining adds afterwards & enjoy the loot! :)

We didnt summon Yor because i still need to get the quest done for it (doh, slackerbean!) , so if we'ld ever get to him i'll post a small guide on him aswell.

Trash

* Always kill the Priest(s) first in a pack
* When an add spawns those blue adds, kill those first, then kill the mob.
* Make sure to resheep very fast!

Drakedog 7 got released

Small Rant : Rouges vs Rogues

Right, as stated before, i'ld post about something which has been ticking me off for quite some time now.

As the title says : is it Rouges, or Rogues? Because some people dont seem to be able to spell it right.

It's ROGUES ,people, the class which backstabs you when you least expect it & can open lockboxes! And they can sap! (Sapped girls dont yell, as we all know)

There is no such thing as ROUGES, the word Rouge exists, its something you put on your cheeks to make it seem like you're blushing a bit. Would you put something on your face if you'ld see a Rogue? I wouldn't, thats for sure...

Just had to write a small rant about this because every day i see people spamming trade with "LF Rouge to open my lockbox" & stuff. I've never seen make-up open a lockbox to be honest.

2.1.3 Patch Hits PTR!

A new patch can be expect soon , people on PTR can already find out if it actually is useful.

Illidan Trinket = imba?!

Illidan Stormrage, the last boss in The Black Temple, drops a very interesting trinket.

Nothing special you may think, although the "use" effect is very nice?
Well, the trinket doesnt share cooldown with other trinket(s), so you can use this 1 and e.g. a spell damage increasing one at the same time!
It also has a 2 min cooldown, like every other trinket.

Slacking Pengo

Sorry for the lack of updates yesterday, but we had a night off from raiding, and i went to the movies to (finally) see Pirates of the Carribean : At World's End.

Movie was ace, if you havent seen it, go do so, if you have seen it, buy the dvd! :)

I'll update this site soon with something that has been bothering me for quite some time now ...

Last night's Summary

So last night we ventured into Karazhan to gear up some people , and for the people who still need some random items & their T4 head (like me ;))

Had no problems whatsoever with the Attumen & Moroes, we skipped Maiden (couldnt be arsed to look under her skirt) , dropped Romeo & Julianne after a bad luck wipe, sent Curator back to the "I, Robot" movie & played some stripchess.

Was quite a fun raid, despite we didnt manage to kill Prince, but we'll go back today or tomorrow & get my T4 head (or at least i hope so ><)

Also guys please click the google ads to support me, trying to figure out which links are the most useful :)

Yep yep we cleared High King Maulgar & Gruul in the same night, as usual :)

High King Maulgar loot :
[Brute Cloak of the Ogre-Magi]
[Pauldrons of the Fallen Champion]
[Pauldrons of the Fallen Defender]

Gruul's loot :
[Dragonspine Trophy] [Windshear Boots]
[Leggings of the Fallen Champion]
[Leggings of the Fallen Defender]

Screenie of the Gruul kill :

As i mentioned yesterday, tonight we're gonna play laser tag in Gruul's Lair.

Check later today for a report on how it went!

Also, feel free to klick the adsense ad to support me a bit ^^

*HOT* - Soloing Ramparts chest as a stealther

This is how you solo a chest in Ramparts without "hacks" or any programs, as a rogue and possibly with a lot of invisability pots and a class that can drop combat.

1st. Zone into a fresh instance, then kill the first 2 mobs at the beginning of the instance.


2nd. Kill the mob that patrols the bridge, he can see through stealth so he needs to be killed to get past.


3rd. Sneak up to the platform where the chest is (It's the second and final one in the instance for refrence, if you can't find it I can post pics to a way up there) and prepare to pull dogs.


4th. Pull the dogs from max range (where I am standing in picture 3) and turn around to run down back twards the enterence to The Ramparts, but don't jump down, instead run/jump into this little space, if done correctly, the mobs will sortof bug out and start running back to the entrance.


5th. Wait about 45ish seconds and then jump out of the space, and run for the chest, beware of the patrol that is usually up there, if you find you may not have enough time to loot the chest without the patrol getting to you, stay in the space.


6. Vanish when you reach the chest, loot, and enjoy the greens/blues, the 5g and the 2 or so pots that are in there, and reset!

Small Summary

This week has been a calm week so far (if you start counting from maintenance day)

We had our first SSC attempt on Wednesday, just to see how it looks & how the trash/first boss is.
It went quite well on trash, seems like they made those the same difficulty level as trash in heroics.
The first boss (Hydross the Unstable) on the other hand, is quite a bitch without resistance gear...
Overall it was quite a fun raid & we're pushing the blacksmither(s) in our guild to level up so they can craft the items we need.
Fun thing about SSC are the fishies , everyone wants to play with them it seems...

Thursday it was time for High King Maulgar & Gruul.
Not much to say about these, both went down like a a guy jumping off a skyscraper : fast.
The loot sucked balls for dps casters (as usual) but very good teamwork & everyone bringing their "A-Game".

That same Thursday evening, we went Karazhan to gear up some people & stuff.
Very quick raid, only had little over an hour, but we got to Opera, downed it, took the loot & went out .

Fifth day of the week, also known as Friday to you landlubbers, brought us more of Karazhan to clear.
Basically we 1shotted Curator, gave Aran the benefit of the doubt on our first try, pewpewed Illhoof & kicked Prince back to "all of his realities which are open to him".
Crap loot again for yours truly, but we're getting used to it :) (banking DKP = win ^^)

As for today, Saturday, the day before He rested, not much planned atm, think we'll go bake some cookies for our paladin with ze munchies!

So much typing, think i actually stretched some muscles in my fingers.

Tune back in tomorrow or early next week for a new update!
