Getting to Hyjal involves going through Darkwhisper Gorge in Winterspring so if you cant handle the elites dodge them or attack them and slow there movement speed(like I did) and run. =).

The area I got to hyjal is to the left of the Future Hyjal Entrance(It's a cave with an invisible wall/barrier inside). If you pull up your map, it's roughly between the D and the A in the word Darkwhisper.

Climbing to the left of the cave you will see a short ledge, yes it does require wall climbing(took me an hour and a half to do) but once your up there it's all walking.

Plugins I got:

AGUF

Skinner

Clearfont 2

Fubar

MoneyFu

clockFu

ExperienceFu

Quartz

Cycircled

Cycircled Vol

Im missing a few more but you can find them on wowace.com as thats where I get my plugins.

zomg I started playing again. I have a 70 hunter but I decided to shelf him (even though I spent a LOT of time on him) and go back to my mage. She is only level 60, but I'll grind up to 70 in the coming weeks.

I think I quit because hunter was getting boring and I needed magic back in my life. :p

Anyway, here's my character profile for my mage:

My gear pretty much sucks since I haven't played this character since before BC came out, lol.

I stopped playing November last year, if my characters are still available im in a similar situation to you Lexcyn, good ol lvl 60 frost mage. In the absense of any other games that appeal to me at present, im thinking of renewing my subscription to fill in some time between now and Age of Conan, plus I must confess the Death Knight and a deeper investigation of Arthas' lands are appealing.

Frost mages FTW. :)

Looking at all these nice-looking and useful UI mods and addons makes me want to use a few myself. The only addons I use at the moment are Auctioneer, MetaMap and Atlas. Any other useful addons do you guys recommend (lvl 47 Hunter / Beastmaster / Blood Elf) and some UI mod(s) that will clean up the interface a bit ?

TrinityBars but requires some configuration, ItemRack, Bagnon and CT mods.

Well with the recent people showing off thier UI i thought i would show mine as well.

I have tweaked it a far bit since this screen to suit my new widescreen monitor. It now includes a combat log on the right hand side of the screen, i ditched metamap in favor of cartographer which i am in love with now and will never ever go back to metamap.

what all addons are u using in this ss, that looks sweet! i need a change from titan...badly =P

KTM Has now been replaced with Omen as well i forgot to mention.

Most of the UI uses:

ElkBuffBars (Cant see them in the screen but buff bars appear above the damage meter)

SimpleMiniMap

Grid (For the party and raid frames on the bottom left)

Decursive (The little squares above the party frames)

Bartender3

cyCircled

Fubar (And a bunch of fubar plugins sssoo much better then titan)

oRA2

Quartz (For the cast bar)

Archud 2

eePanels

SimpleCombatLog

SW_Stats (Damage Meter)

Lootlink

Spellcraft

There is quite a few that i can't remember off the top of my head since i am at work at the moment. I am slowly shifting into using more ACE2 based addons.

Since this screen shot i have also removed quite a few buttons (and in the process of removing more) and using macros and key modifiers instead. Makes for binding and casting easier imho. For example Number 1 casts fireball, hold down shift and press it and it casts frostbolt instead. I have only just started to move into using macros to do a lot more and not looking back now macros are purely awesome :)

I installed the Sewell UI mod. But it needs some cleaning up. How do I set the pet action bar a little lower ? Also want to make the player frames smaller and maybe completely remove the player "avatars". The bottom thing (where the action bars and chat/combat log are) could be shrinked a bit too. Can anyone tell me how to do that ?

Well I'm now level 65 with my mage. It seems everyone on my server is already 70 so no one is doing lower level instances, so I'm kind of boned for doing those quests which require them. Oh well - I guess I will have to just grind quests.

By the way ... how the heck do you get a netherwing drake as a mount? Is there a guide you can follow online for all the steps to the quest?

    • As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

    • We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
    • Great, tell me when I have a "Bad Pool Caller" elsewhere not in Windoze.
