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 as the WoW gold cap.
First off an apology to anyone who thought they’d finally deciphered our posting schedule, because this should have gone out on Monday. Totally not my fault! *cough* anyway…
Killing a lot of things very very quickly has always imbued us with a sense of power, and now we get achievement points for it too! What more could you possibly want from a Thursday evening? Apart from cake, but that goes without saying.
So the Lunar Festival is over, and any sort of reference to it is automatically out of date. On the other hand, I spent the last few days of the holiday achieving and didn’t have chance to write this, so let’s just pretend it was supposed to be late in the first place.
A couple of weeks back Khi of the wonderful Tree Burglar set WoW bloggers a challenge.
One of the big parts of this holiday in-game has characters traveling the world to find various elders and pay them a little respect. In return, they pass on a few words that might be wisdom, and you continue on your way. Similarly, we bloggers have the opportunity on a regular basis to share a bit of advice, but it’s often directed toward those that already have some experience in our area.
So for this Lunar Festival, I have a bit of a challenge for you: Write something directed not at those that have months or years of experience, but for those that are just getting started.
You’re the Elder. Pretend you’re smart for a few days =P
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 underway.
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.
Reading the guild management forums or sitting in trade for more than 3 seconds both give the same impression; people just love to make new guilds! Why is this? Why do people insist on forming guilds when there are so many around in the first place? And why, above all, are they so bad at it?
Your new guild will in all likelihood be disbanded by this time next month. Don’t you have any shame?
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.
For some guilds, all you need to do to get an invite is whisper someone and they’ll invite. For others… you have to apply. Now this apply may take many forms, for some its a simple forum written application, for some its an interview, for others its a dark ritual taking place late at night in the middle of the woods with people wearing black hoods and carrying serrated knives… Ok maybe not serrated knives, dinner knives most likely.
The general idea though remains the same and when applying to a guild there are some simple steps you can take to give yourself a better chance and some easy to make mistakes that’ll shoot yourself in the foot.
