Being a Better Indian

Category: World of Warcraft Comments: 2 comments

It may not be politically correct, but there’s definitely something important about the old saying “too many chiefs, not enough Indians”. When you hear it, you can immediately identify the problem. In WOW you could just as easily say “too many officers and not enough raiders” but it doesn’t carry the same sense of profound recognition. Today, I want to focus on the Indians and making better ones…

Of Chiefs and Indians
Everyone wants to be the chief, I know I did. As a child, I played football and I wanted to be the quarterback. As I grew older I realized that it’s okay being a lineman, tight end, or or even a place kicker. Each has an important part to play, and without them you don’t have a working team...

Mastering the Master List – Part 1

Category: World of Warcraft Comments: 2 comments

The Master List
A while back I did an interview with warcraft econ, in the interview I included my Master List – a list of items I craft on a regular basis to generate large amounts of gold. The main idea behind this list is that I try to maintain the items on the list, in the quantities listed. With a list like this it’s assumed that inventory will not be sold out in a twenty four hour period. The important thing is to maintain stock as necessary. There are several addons that can facilitate your inventory maintenance, but for now let’s focus on the list itself and how you can create your own.

Creating the List
For the sake of practicality, let’s focus on Enchanting Scrolls. There are two types, weapon scrolls and armor scrolls...

On the Sly – A Guide to the SlyProfits AddOn

Category: World of Warcraft Comments: 5 comments

What is SlyProfits?
Taken from the SlyProfits Project Page:
SlyProfits adds an extra tab to the Auction House Interface. The tab is designed to show the profits that can be made from various trade skills.

It works out the current buyout price of the item, the current cost of mats for a stack of the item and calculates the profit that can be made taking into account the standard AH cut and vendor price for mats such as vials.

Additionally it allows you to view the mats for each item and easily buyout the required number using a slider to control how many of each item you wish to make.

The addon started out as a tool for myself as i was manually scanning the auction house calculating which Flask was most profitable to make with the booming post 3.1 prices...

We All Go a Little Crazy Sometimes
At approximately 2 AM I completed the Insane in the Membrane meta, it’s been a long process. Mostly because I’ve been very casual about completing it. Since hitting the cap I’ve focused on getting it done, finding the Librams (Libram of Focus, Libram of Protection, Libram of Rapidity) and the Blood of Heroes for Rapidity especially to be a bottle neck. But I finally got it done. Which makes me the first and only Death Knight on Bloodscalp with the title “the Insane”. Thanks for all the support guys.

Alts and How to Manage Them

Category: World of Warcraft Comments: No comments

Recently I talked about Gear Rating Sites; how they can help you establish and meet goals in your WoW career. Today I saw this post on Banana Shoulders that has led me to revisit this topic. A few other things have happened to lead me to consider this topic in greater detail as well, for starters I’ve recently consolidated my characters. With RAF and mulit-boxing I’ve amassed a fairly large stable of alts, I have recently however decided to curtail my boxing habits. Boxing has been good to me, but it just doesn’t make sense to me to do it anymore. I won’t deny I enjoy it. In essence, I’m more interested in tanking for my guild than five-boxing heroics ad nauseum.

Throw in the much anticipated faction transfer service and I’m finally able to play my old level 60 main, Xombi...

SECTION 1 – BASIC TRAINING
Welcome to the srsbusiness guide to Death Knight tanking. As tanks, our job is to piss things off and live to talk about it. But if you’ve come here, you already know that. I’ve compiled the information in this guide to give beginners and veterans alike a source for meaningful information and analysis pertaining to the intricacies of our job.
