**** 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.)

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.

    • VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI.

If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.
