**** me levelling up Blacksmithing costs a lot. Luckily all my farming for Deathcharger is paying for it.

Going to level up JC as well eventually, but I'm making good coin off of enchanting.

Do them at the same time or you'll be buying gold before the month is out. :p

Nah I still don't have deathcharger yet, so I'll be farming again soon and I'll keep enchanting to bring the money back up again!

Plus I'm doing a ton of heroics just now for raiding gear so I still make good money from enchanting.

Also I disenchant all the crap I make from Blacksmithing.

Deathcharger? isnt that a DK mount? I thought you had a pally and the have "chargers" i think.

Im LW and Skinner on my hunter, so wish I did JC though :( the extra stat gems are nice.

It's a mount that drops from Stratholme boss with a 1% drop rate. It used to be 0.01% way in the past, then 0.1% pre 3.0. Then boosted to 1% which caused the people who got it ages ago to whine, and nowadays a lot of farming goes on for it... you see it fairly often now in SW/IF.

Modelled in the same vein as the charger mounts, but it's the only undead mount the Alliance can get, and it's ironic a Paladin on an undead mount :p

How many runs?

I'm at 91 I think :p

The sword dropped at 70 odds :pinch:

Just... insane amounts. Pre 1%, so I was pretty ****ed when they announced the increased drop rate, as you might imagine. But then again, maybe my other characters want one as well. ;D

I remember it well... I had been doing runs sooooooo much, just... stealthing in, slapping the guy up and resetting, and then two buddies ask if they can come along and see how it's done... AND IT DROPS. So great. ^^

I never did get any orbs though. :p

Oh one of them :p

Nah I do sympathize a little, the amount of runs I've seen some people do is downright ludicrous when you see me complaining about 91 runs. I guess that's just down to expectations though, I'd never of ran for it at the 1 in 5000 drop date it used to be, but when it's 1 in 100 you do expect it to drop within a reasonable amount.

Yeah I've got to the point of it's more about the feeling of it finally dropping than actually wanting the mount that badly :p Although I have been on a good break from farming as I can't stealth so the 8-12 min runs were driving me nuts.

Although as I have said in this thread I probably earned about 7.5k from those 91 runs, which ain't bad coin as a side bonus to your real goal.

Hm... 7.5k. Disenchant, I suppose.

Maybe my pally does really need it after all. I can drop skinning real quick-like, and everyone knows I'm the cheapest ****** you can find. Which also includes greedy. I dropped a profession for the side-cash once, I'm not opposed to doing it again. Hm. Hm hm.

One of my orbs of deception did go for 750G. The other one I kept.

But yeah rest of the gold was from disenchating and selling cloth. A stack of shards was going for like 92-95G on my server.

Undercutting all the time so quick sales and quick cash reel in.

You guys see the new under-water area in cata?

Hell yes: Vashj'ir. :D I'm torn about whether I should level there or in Hyjal. I love the lore in both areas (though WoW has been pretty devoid of Naga lore up to this point). I'm really, really curious about the underwater mechanics, though.

I cannot wait to hear more about how they are going to change underwater travel, combat system. This is very interesting to me. Also I am interested to see the amount of change that they are going to be doing to stranglethorn vail.

My wife asked how are we going to be able to breathe underwater for so long, which raises a good point ... you going to get some special brew, or just have to buy a ******** of pots for this area .... or what?

They're supposedly implementing a whole new way to travel and fight underwater, so I doubt we'll have to take a potion or anything. I can only imagine what they're coming up with.

They'll probably only let you control the mount with your drowned corpse attached to it. For combat, the mount flails your lifeless body at the enemy. This is where the old warrior T2 set really shines.

:laugh: Those blades on the shoulders and head would hurt.

So finally just before reset my guild decides to do an ICC10 run. We saved lock from Last reset as we were on the LK on Thursday so we had 1 full night of trying to learn the fight (was annoying as they kept changing tactics and didnt stick with the one that looked the most promising :\ ) ... in the end we didnt get him down however non of us had a raid ID.... I am guessing you need to down something once you have extended the raid id to actually get saved with it after reset or something.

Anyways last night was sort of a speed run(ish) We wiped 2 times in total in the entirety of the raid. (1 time on blood council which was my fault for not spotting a beach ball thing and 1 time on Sindragosa (we did have an intended wipe on her to show the new guys how we do it so I am now going to count that as a "proper wipe"))... Had 1 attempt on the LK before we had to call it a night. Now i must say ICC10 is starting to feel more and more like Nax I am confident once we kill the LK we will be clearing it in 1 night and doing the HC version on the second night we raid.

For some odd reason the raid in general was getting higher dps than ususal most folks were doing between 7-10k dps (on saurfang we had 1 dps below 8k and that was a shammy (main spec healer though) who managed around 5-6k ish and he was one of the new guys) ... not sure if some classes got stealth buffs or something or if we were just focussing more, we we'rnt even flasked up or anything which is kinda bizzare.)

    • Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update
    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
    • I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
