**** 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.)

    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      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 hellowalkman · Posted

      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.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      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.
