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...

    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
