Frostbolt, a World of Warcraft Blog

Sorry for this short update; it will get more detailed information later (screenshots, drops info and such); kinda going to bed right now (going back to work after having a 1month vacations in 7 hours). Today @ 12:25:27 am I hit exalted with Shattered Sun Offensive faction, recently introduced the past Tuesday with Patch 2.4.

— Post updated 04/02/2008

So basically last sunday I made non-stop runs, started in the morning with 6k/21k and pushed all the way up to exalted. Also I made heroics every day (my best setup was three mages, 1 priest and a druid), and most of them were so smooth; a normal run could take (if you did it cleanly, full clear) around 40 minutes, an heroic probably less.

During all those runs I managed to get…

[Formula: Enchant Cloak - Steelweave]
[Sun Touched Satchel] (for my druid and my rogue)
[Commendation of Kael'thas]
[Phoenix Hatchling]
[Shard of Contempt] (for my druid and my rogue)

At the end it was pretty good. Sadly I never saw dropping any [Swift White Hawkstrider], but I heard that someone in my server already has it (no clue who it is, tho).

I also originally had planned to post a bunch of screenshots, but probably by now everyone has already visited those places, still, I’ll post some random ones.

As for Sunwell Plateau, last week we only had two days to do attempts, we missed one raiding day due to some issues, and the last two days we did our usual Hyjal / Black Temple clears. Even tho some people might think it was a waste (OH LEZ DO SUNWELL 5 DAYS), somehow I believe it payed off… seeing that this dropped for us…

[Warglaive of Azzinoth]
[Bulwark of Azzinoth]

Also we’ve gotten some nice random drops (just gonna list some, missed a couple)

[Blade of Life's Inevitability] (x3)
[Schematic: Primal-Attuned Goggles]
[Study of Advanced Smelting] (at least x4)
[Gauntlets of the Ancient Shadowmoon] (x2)
[Mounting Vengeance]

Can’t say much of Sunwell. We should have had a couple bosses down last week, but, meh, I guess things don’t work out as they should. Our best attempt so far has been 5% on both sides (I believe). Also last week we had a couple of technical issues that didn’t help at all.

Hmm… and for some reason I think I’m leaving something out… /shrugs

Edit: Oh, I remember something important: the instance was bugged so bosses and some mobs weren’t giving reputation @ Revered… so it took way longer versus now that they fixed it (yesterday in Patch 2.4.1).

Since there’s not much to report, raid-wise (well, probably the only thing is that we haven’t been able to get into Sunwell because the days we have scheduled for it PTR goes down —.— hopefully this week), I thought I could make an update about my alt. Originally he used to be my main until I switched classes (from rogue main to druid main). After many months of being stuck in sixty something, today (or more like on Sunday, since it’s already past time) I finally got him to 70 (been pushing it these days).

Crafted a Flying Machine Control

And right afterwards, with the help of my brother (more like he provided me all the ores and loaned me money, hehehe) I upgraded it to the epic one, which would be the Turbo-Charged Flying Machine Control

One of the coolest things IMO is the hula hula girl in the dashboard, but probably the most annoying thing is the noise the mount makes every time you go up or down

I could also get him a Riding Crop, so he’s pretty much ready now ^^

Now I just need to finish Karazhan attunement, get him some badges and then craft him a Deathblow X11 Goggles ^^
