Our feature interview this month is with Emerald Dreams very own walking pile of gold Magpawacar. Here we will be discussing the whole affair and the effort taken to hit that magical figure of 214748g give or take a few silver which stands as the
WoW gold cap.
Many of us struggle to make enough to keep our items in gems and our kit repaired but to some unique individuals such as Magz everything they touch turns to gold, read on for some hints and tips to turn yourselves into banker on the rise!
Our next Famous for Five Minutes will be with Magpawacar on the wonderful subject of money money money. He will be discussing the whole affair and the effort taken to hit that magical figure of 214748g give or take a few silver which stands a
s the WoW gold cap.
So you
want to get your grubby mitts on a sexy item level 277 ring, with slots and procs and all manner of jewellery goodness rolled into a rep grind rather than a bank busting trip to Tiffany Cartier! You do? Do you also want a snazzy new ti
tle to show off to all your mates, yes? Well then don’t we just have the achievement for you.
Eh? Epic not really epic? They look purple to me… Oh I see! You
meant in the “They’re so common, they’re not epic anymore” category. Ah right… But how and why? Let’s look at that.
Once upon a time instance bosses dropped greens, not blues. Rares were pretty damn rare and epics were unheard of. Someone who had an epic was the centre of attention with everyone inspecting him and patting him on the back and ooing and aahing over how much of an awesome player he must be to have gotten an epic.
What changed? Most would argue it’s that the game has gotten easier and epics are being handed out like candy. But is that what really happened? Or is there more to it?
Prior to now I have focused on the varied and great achievements of groups of people for our feature interviews, but there are others……individuals who have taken this game to the next level and are pushing daily to accomplish something astonishin
g.
I speak to you of Prue, a level 80 purr/growl/miow Druid who has set their sights of gaining as many achievement points as possible and currently stands as 55th highest in the WORLD. That’s right my fellow Dreamers, we’re not just talking server or EU ratings but Prue is getting to bash some Yanks as well!
I caught up with Prue to discuss why the fascination with achievements and to share some stories about achievement……well…… achieving!
Over the last few weeks, our guild has seen a push for MOAR REPUTATION. On Saturday, a freshly dinged 80 had no other priority than to stay up until 7am grinding Darnassus rep for a kitty mount, and the race to guild first The Exalted is truly underw
ay.
Basically, this is my excuse for a rep-based Achieve This!.
Hero of the Zandalar Tribe is one of the first rep achievements I attempted (before achievements existed, because I just lurrrrrrve rep). It involves, funnily enough, achieving exalted status with the Zandalar Tribe. Never heard of them? Shame on you.
It’s
the festive season, a time of goodwill and friendship. A time of giving and receiving, and all the joy of spending time with those you love.
Alternatively, a time of free chocolate and some PvP.
If you’ve run far too much Wintergrasp and whatever in hell the battleground is this weekend, and you’re looking for a change, why not turn your attention to the relatively little-pursued Gurubashi Arena Grand Master achievement! It ticks all the right boxes. Killing? Check. Standing about tensely hoping someone else doesn’t kill you? Check. Torturous timed events that you miss at your own peril? Check. What more could you want from your Christmas holiday?
Let’s get cracking. Cracking. Like a Christmas CRACKer. See what I did there.
Pest control is an achievement currently close to my heart as my lovely London pad is suffering a slight mouse infestation, I have found throwing books helps (and have so far managed to take one out) but at present I am far removed from my original plan of naming them and feeding them cheese.
So, don your hazmat suit and equip your swatter and bug spray offhand to get down and dirty with the pests of Azeroth.
