Mine is Boring and rather simple Galenhawke The Noble.

Sadly I still need to get some upgrades to get away from Item Level 200

Still Have at Level 200

*Sandals of Crimson Fury

*Cuffs of Winged Levitation

*Annhylde's Ring

*Sundial of the Exiled

*Abyssal Rune

I Also still have a few Item Level 213 Items as well

*Thunderstorm Amulet

*Band of Channeled Magic

*Gemmed Wand of the Nerubians

Need to get off my behind and replace them all :p

On the Plus side within the week I should have the full Tier 9 set and another week or two I will have 1 Piece of Tier 10 (most likely the Helm)

Depending on how far you got with the quest chain, it may still be obtainable. I got mine the week after 3.0 hit due to the fact my guild was finally able to kill KT. I've seen a few people with dates in 09 of obtaining it, who went back through and finished up the quest line.

This is no longer the case, they patched it out at some point around 3.1. I tried it on my priest, who'd had the quest since sometime in 2.4 before I quit playing, and he didn't get the title :(

Been meaning to join in this thread for ages! So here it goes!

I currently play 2 chars, a Hunter and Shadow Priest. My hunter I've had since WoW began, although I was a noob really until TBC. Recently in the past 6 months or so I levelled my Shadow Priest and just been gearing in the new ICC Heroics, badge loot and craftables.

Erebu - Hunter

Darkshínes - Shadow Priest

Why are proto drakes so damn hard to get?

Because they've already made it SIMPLE to get epics through these expansions, hardcore people should be rewarded with something the masses can't get.

Thats why. IMO if you're good... they aren't really THAT hard to get.

P.S. - I have 1 ;) on two characters. and... "Hardmodes are the how the game should be played, regular is lame mode for casuals" great quote from some severely elitist dude.

They are actually quite easy imo.

Blue Proto Drake From UP, fairly easy to farm. Theres about 5-6 people (including alts) that have it

Green one from Oracles Dailys

Red One (probably the easiest to obtain now) just by doing Glory of the Hero.

Then you got the Raiders ones which are slightly more difficult to get. Having said that people on my server are pugging ulduar hardmodes all the way to YS+0 To get them.

Not to mention the Violet Proto Drake from the World Events/Special Occasions achievements.

Go to Northend now, you'll hit 70 in a matter of hours - Don't do the last two levels in Outlands, it's a waste of time.

I was actually just going to kind of instance to 68, cause at 68 I think it will pick me instances I haven't done now :) Yeah there's a few BC instances I never got to try.

Could do that as well, it was just in case you decided to do quest levelling - Still, you should do Northend 68-70; you will blaze through those levels because of the massive increase in XP plus Northend has been drowned in quests, so you can do 5-6 quests in a tiny area worth well over 100-150k. Then do instances at 70 when it starts to slow down a bit again.

Cheers for the advice bro (Y) I probably will if it doesn't start chucking me into new instances I haven't played. I just love the new LFG system, no more hassle over fighting or people asking can I respec healing/can I tank when I want to DPS.... and to be fair since I've installed recount I'm always 1st/2nd, so STFU anyone saying I can't DPS as Pala :devil:

1. get a dr00d

2. Go to Sethekk Halls

3. Get the bonus boss

4. ????

5. AWESOME MOUNT

Ran that instance quite a few times now, just with no druid.

Unfortunately I have no close friends playing druid that would put up with the amount of runs necessary for the mount to drop :(

In fact I ran it with 5 paladins LOL. Can't believe the LFG matched 5 pala's up, but we kicked ass anyway. Bad thing about that though is basically everyone is rolling on the same ****ing loot :laugh:

Well, unless you choose specific the system seems to constantly throw you into some completely mind-numbing instance constantly. I'm 99% sure it's intentional from Blizzard's side, as the crappy, drab and bland instances needed more people running 'em.

Trust me, hit 70 via Northend and do Northend instances - You will love most of them, plus the gear that drops is massive upgrades and it looks sweet.

As for Recount, I'm top of the list 95% of the time, maybe not in average DPS but damage done for the entire instance. Retribution Paladins these days have some insane AoE attacks, half of their primary attacks are AoE now. Seal of Command hits an additional 2 targets

when using Crusader Strike and Auto-attack, plus Divine Storm, plus Holy Wrath ( With undead mobs - Which there's plenty of in Northend ). Although, when one of those insane "raider" characters join the queue system you will get blitzed.

I hit 70 for the first time yesterday :pc:

Congrats mate (Y)

Ret palas ftw been one for wows 5yr history. Love the class dont care what anyone says and yeh nowdays Ret is very very nice to play.

It is, but I'd really like to give prot a go, even if it's just for the lulz or revisiting old instances and watching mobs batter themselves to death off me :laugh:

I probably wouldn't spec holy, whilst this time around I wanted some healing ability, I can't be stressed with learning how to heal well in groups, it's far too important and if you mess up everything is blamed on you.

DPS no chance of that, seeing as I play well as a ret pally, tanking I could learn pretty quickly I think.

Anyone else trying to get the Time Lost Proto Drake? Good god this thing is rare as hell. I have spent the past few weeks going along all the spawn points. It ridiculous.

It'd be nice to have, but I'll only get it if I come across it by chance - not by stalking...

    • 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.
