Meh, he couldn't use it, I could, he'll easily see it drop again in his next two levels.

Potentially. RNG sucks.

This ring would be better suited for you and drops in Normal OK.

Here's a quest reward from SB once you hit 77. And another quest reward once you hit 76 from SB. Here's a ring with some flavor from one of the introductory quests at K3 in Storm Peaks once you hit 77, this.

I will admit there isn't much rings while leveling, but rings really aren't a key leveling piece. Taking a ring that a tank will have a better use (even if it is in a few levels) is a low move. Regardless leveling through the 70's is quick enough and any gear obtain is easily replace by gear acquired in SP and Icecrown and level 80 normal dungeons. It's really not going to matter. Since you have a tank ring, why don't you take the time this other tank took to acquire tank gear and start tanking? You can take all the tank gear you want and it'll help teach you how to tank when you hit 80, instead of being the one of several nubs tanks at 80? It's a win win.

Been outrolled on that a few times.

I really don't care he'll get it again easily, dunno why some of you have your backs up against the wall. I spend ages helping WoW players, doing instances runs for nothing, even helped Sethos and I roll on one ring and everyone's like OMG TANK NEED MORE! :laugh:

Anyway trying to get Enchant - Fiery Weapon just now, 5 runs so far, zilch.

Going to get my level 80 friend to help me obtain this now as well, I'm at 75 - http://thottbot.com/i41816

Meh, he couldn't use it, I could, he'll easily see it drop again in his next two levels.

He certainly can use it - probably within 8 hours of leaving the instance given how quickly you can level.

The argument that more gear will drop as a player levels or reaches level cap is support for the argument that you acted like a jerk: you'll see more appropriate gear as you level too.

Been outrolled on that a few times.

How do you know the guy you rolled against hadn't seen better loot come and go a dozen times?

I really don't care he'll get it again easily, dunno why some of you have your backs up against the wall.

Nothing ill will come of what you did because it's not against the rules but it's still a douche move.

People are pointing out that what you did was uncool because the game will become less fun if the attitude you expressed becomes the norm rather than the ugly exception.

Imagine you're a fresh 80 running heroic dungeons for the first time (lets say Forge of Souls) and the excellent melee DPS trinket drops. Would I be a jerk for needing it on my DK tank because "I can use the shard" or "I might want it for RPing" or "Maybe I want to make a tank spec with armor penetration to see if it's good"? You'll see it drop again and there's better loot easily obtained in ToC or ICC pugs. Or what if I played on my mage and needed every cloth drop because I can shard it: you'd have no recourse and I'd have 15g per drop (repairs don't pay for themselves). It's within the rules but it's still antisocial and uncool.

Is it possible to become exalted with both of the centaur clans in Desolace?

No. Even if you save all the quests and grind kills you'll not be able to make it past 300/21000 revered.

Doing kills for one lowers your reputation with the other so you can't be revered with both at the same time.

So I guess its not worth bothering with them. Thanks. Oh, by the way, I think I did all the quests for Gelkis Clan, around 4-5. Now I can start killing them to do the quests for Magram Clan, right?

Got my axe and fiery formula today, happy chappy :D

3/4 of the way to 76 as well!

You should probably start working on your +hit now then. when you get to 80 and you have no hit you will be doing crappy dps in groups.

Thanks for tip!

By the way, what would you guys say is more beneficial?

Fiery Weapon

or

Crusader

DPS, Level 75, weapon speed 3.50.

Crusader, Fiery is something I would get just for the glow lol

When you hit 80, go to http://be.imba.hu/ and it will tell you what needs upgrading and if you need more hit etc.

I quite like the one at wow-heroes.com, their enchant/gem advisor is heaps more reliable imo.

Crusader is kinda pointless unless you're limited by enchants because you're using the heirloom axe. Nuke a couple of the greens you get from trash and slap this on it.

I'm only at enchanting 300 just now so that will need to wait but I'll upgrade nearer the time :) Going to crack on to 76, about 1/4 away, then maybe in between 76-77 I'll get my enchanting up. I do have a good stack of blues in the bank I've been saving from my 70+ instance runs, but need to get to enchanting 325 for most of them.

On that note any good guides to levelling enchanting?

Prolly get someone in dala or IF to do it for you for 5g. If you have the mats for crusader put it on a weapon vellum and it should sell for 150g.

http://www.wow-professions.com/wowguides/wow-enchanting-guide.html isn't terrible

Thanks for both tips, will have a try at both tonight.

Got 3 righteous orbs in one Stratholme run today, they sell in the AH for around 40-55g on my server.

Be.imba should be the first stop, then WoW-Heroes. Be.imba is much more reliable. It's been around longer.

I've seen enough inconsistency from be.imba (and correlation between W-H, rawr and EJ) to discount it on my blood tank (suggesting resi on shoulder for a dk, lolwhut?) aff lock and protadin to safely discount it. It's immaterial how long the sites have been about, they both became popular in 2008 and have each served a purpose.

Good, Its more beneficial than the fiery one aswell.

Yeah, fiery is only good at low levels when that proc actually boosts your damage quite a bit. (10-19 PvP bracket is nice)

Got to 71 last night on my mage. 350 enchanting, 410 tailoring. Lovin' my big hits in Arcane. :D

Just need to get that damn Runed Adamantite Rod. ><

    • Damn, I loved this show back in the day.  
    • Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 changelog: Add RISC-V 64 support to UEFI:NTFS Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Improve progress reporting for compressed image extraction Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta 2 | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Tixati 3.43 by Razvan Serea Tixati is a free and easy to use BitTorrent client featuring detailed views of all seed, peer, and file transfer properties. Also included are powerful bandwidth charting and throttling capabilities, and a full DHT implementation. Tixati is one of the most advanced and flexible BitTorrent clients available. And unlike many other clients, Tixati contains NO SPYWARE, NO ADS, and NO GIMMICKS. Tixati portable version is meant to run on a USB flash drive or other portable media. It stores all its configuration files in the same folder as the executable binary files, and all file paths are stored in a format relative to the program executable folder. It is important you do not delete the "tixati_portable_mode.txt" file within the executables folder. This file is what triggers Tixati to run in portable mode. (The executable binaries are actually the same as the standard edition binaries.) When running the portable edition from a USB flash drive, especially one that is formatted in FAT16/FAT32, you may experience some lag when initially loading a new transfer. This is because initializing and allocating large files on flash-based media consumes a greater amount of time and resources compared to a conventional hard-drive. Tixati has the following features: detailed views of all aspects of the swarm, including peers, pieces, files, and trackers support for magnet links, so no need to download .torrent files if a simple magnet-link is available super-efficient peer choking/unchoking algorithms ensure the fastest downloads peer connection encryption for added security full DHT (Distributed Hash Table) implementation for trackerless torrents, including detailed message traffic graphs and customizable event logging advanced bandwidth charting of overall traffic and per-transfer traffic, with separate classification of protocol and file bytes, and with separate classification of outbound traffic for trading and seeding highly flexible bandwidth throttling, including trading/seeding proportion adjustment and adjustable priority for individual transfers and peers bitfield graphs that show the completeness of all downloaded files, what pieces other peers have available, and the health of the overall swarm customizable event logging for each download, and individual event logs for all peers within the swarm expert local file management functions which allow you to move files to a different partition even while downloading is still in progress 100% compatible with the BitTorrent protocol Windows and Linux-GTK native versions available Tixati 3.43 changelog: Several major DHT improvements Added several screening heuristics to filter malicious DHT nodes, prevent Sybil floods Rewrote DHT search algorithms to add support for multi-path lookups Improved DHT logging, more details in several error messages Extended timeout lengths for outgoing queries over I2P Added incoming query / response per second to DHT table status display Updated Regex engine to PCRE2 Faster Search function, scans channel user profiles in much less time Fixed problems with file name parsing and date handling in RSS Faster and more accurate RSS filtering and episode number detection Several optimizations to global text processing functions, such as UTF-8 cleaning, line splitting, and token parsing Complete update of port-mapping UPNP/NAT-PMP engine, added PCP support, mapping over VPN support, and more Several refinements to default gateway detection on Windows / Android, which is used for port-mapping Support for IPv6 interface-scoped addresses, which is sometimes needed for IPv6 gateway detection and port mapping Full support for PCP port remapping, added backup zero-port query in case requested port is rejected New UPNP/NAT-PMP Monitor in Help > Diagnostics New reflected local port/location tracker that analyzes DHT replies to detect true port/location and NAT mapping type New TCP/UDP Ports monitor in Help > Diagnostics, with several statistic and information tabs, and a detailed event log Calculated/reflected local port is now used for port parameter in tracker queries and peer handshake Fixed several problems with Linux Wayland compatibility Completely replaced tray icon functions in Linux, new SNI implementation is now the default with GSI backup Implemented full DBus-Menu server to be used by new SNI tray icon implementation Replaced Linux tray balloon notification DBus client Rewrote auto-shutdown DBus interface for Linux Rewrote sleep inhibit DBus interface for Linux Dropped deprecated Linux dbus-glib dependencies Completely new Windows asynchronous file handling, now using IOCP model with several block-alignment optimizations Better handling of system network resets and interface down/up cycles Added option to fully clear configuration in Settings > Import/Export Remember last option checkboxes when using Import/Export Fixed minor I2P incoming connection routing problems Much faster I2P vanity host name finder Much faster channel user vanity key finder Raised length limit for torrent tracker remote failure messages to 120 from 64 Fixed problems setting download location on a torrent before the meta info is resolved Added location/MOC paths to category pane tooltips Several minor Web Interface fixes Refinements to static and scrolling ellipsizing layout routines Several fixes and improvements to single and multi-line text edit controls Many other minor fixes throughout the user interface A major overhaul of the Android framework has also been done: API target raised to 35, page alignment set to 16K Rewrote all inset processing routines Full rewrite of foreground service, application, and main activity objects New permission request routines Added multi-cast lock request before UPNP/LPDP discovery operations Fixed file permission and locking problems when loading .torrent from web browsers Fixed problems with Z-ordering of modal / non-modal and popup windows Fixed handling of back gesture on newer OS Added status bar icon

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
