Jewelcrafting Quests in WoW Part1

If you have completed enough daily quests, you will have much WoW gold. Here we are going to introduce WoW daily jewelcrafting quests to help players start easier WoW exploration. For all things Jewelcrafting visit Timothy Jones in the Magus Commerce Exchange in Dalaran City. Timothy will be dishing out one of six random daily quests to you each day. The quests themselves are randomly chosen each day, but will be the same for everyone on a particular server. As a reward for completing each of these quests the player will receive a Dalaran Jewelcrafter’s Token, 25 reputation, and some WoW gold for sale to line your pockets. A started quest is required to unlock the various daily quests called “Finish the Shipment”. This quest asks the Jewelcrafter to provide a Chalcedony to Timothy to help him complete a shipment. Chalcedony drops of mobs (the highest drop rate comes fro a Risen Alliance Solider), mined from any mine in Northrend, found in Titanium Lockboxes, or my personal favorite method of obtaining items, found in the Auction House.

=====================================================Viable Warlock PvP Specs====================================================
By eXtol

The following post is in no way a complaint, I am offering no suggestions for class changes and I am not here to argue about class mechanics or warlock viability in PvP scenarios or raid environments.
Honestly, warlocks need to shut the hell up and stop complaining about their viability in PvP, perhaps you just need a good spec, or perhaps you just need to learn how to play against your counters. Either way, warlocks are still a very powerful class, and they always will be.
The intent of this post is only to offer help to other warlocks who are willing to accept it, the post consists of several viable warlock specs for PvP, both battlegrounds and arenas.
Comments and suggestions on these specs are certainly accepted but the overall purpose is to give all warlocks a good idea how to spec if they wish to participate in PvP at level 80.
I will be attempting to cover every aspect of PvP, and I know that more likely than not many of these specs will change in viability when we all get a taste of how arena goes when season 5 starts. However, I feel strongly that these are currently the best guesstimates we can take at what will and what will not work at 80, enjoy.

Playable Race

Wow.com has just reviled Worgen (along with Goblins) to be a playable race in the next expansion (WoW: Cataclysm). I would add this information myself, but I don’t know if this information is vetted yet. Plus, I don’t want to screw anything up.

One of the first (or possibly the very first) paladin I know to have MT’d any of Karazhan. First six bosses so far, called it for the night at 4am, and the next day the instance was reset on us unexpectedly. More to come soon from Aran and onward.

(The only epics I didnt have in that video are the two that actually dropped for me that night– necklace and belt)

The Paladin is a character class in Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) and many later computer and pen and paper role-playing games – many of which were influenced by D&D. The class is loosely based on the paladins of medieval romance, as a fighter for good and virtue, and usually, but not always, imbued with godly powers.

[edit] Dungeons and Dragons

In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, paladin is one of the base character classes. The paladin is a holy knight, crusading in the name of good and order, and is a divine spellcaster. By definition and game restriction, paladins are always of the Lawful Good alignment in DnD 1st-3rd editions. The 4th edition allows the Paladin to match their deity’s alignment. Paladin characters are expected to demonstrate and embody goodness and law – they are not supposed to lie or use poison, and some interpretations say they should use stealth, missile weapons, and other forms of impersonal warfare only as a last resort. Switching to any alignment other than Lawful Good or breaching part of the Paladin’s code of conduct results in a loss of all class abilities. The paladin is a champion of justice and destroyer of evil protected and strengthened by an array of divine powers. Most of these powers relate to providing benefits to those around the paladin. These include healing and curing of disease, morale in combat and turning of undead. Most of the abilities are similar to but of a lower level than the cleric’s abilities.

OK, there are a few episodes in this season that are a little much. The social/political satire is still as strong as ever but the episodes are stretching more to make their points. Instead of being absurdly funny and clever, some of these episodes are just absurd and go out of their way to say, “Look at me, look how shocking I am” (“The Return of Chef,” “Smug Alert!,” “A Million Little Fibers,” “Stanley’s Cup”). Still, this season offers what I believe is the greatest SP episode of all-time and maybe the best thing I have ever seen on television: “Make Love Not Warcraft.” This episode is so well-done in animation (yes, excellent SP animation) and story-writing that I cannot praise it enough. Plus, it includes music from one of my favorite singers ever: Paul Stanley! Then there are the excellent two-parters when Cartman goes to the future (Mrs. Garrison and that scholar guy are hilarious!) and “Cartoon Wars” where SP takes on Family Guy with references to other animated shows. “Miss Teacher Bangs A Boy” takes the female teacher/boy student love affair controversy to a level only SP can. The positives outweight the negatives here but it’s not perfect, so I can’t give it 5 stars no matter how much I love the World of Warcraft episode. The cover of the box (Target edition) is awesome. You see the SP boys fat and pimply and, by tilting the box, you see their World of Warcraft characters.

From WoWWiki For other lore-related sections, see Lore (Disambiguation).

Lore in the Warcraft series of games is a term used for “background story”. The use of the term stems from Blizzard’s snippets of “lore” for many of the multiplayer maps in their Warcraft RTS games, although how much of it has a relationship to the main Warcraft universe storyline is unclear.

I don’t think I need to go into detail about the game: you can just visit http://www.blizzard.com/war3 , http://www.blizzard.com/war3x/ , and http://www.battle.net/war3 and they’ll tell you everything you need to know about the mechanics and the features of the game. There are some things that I can say about it.

The graphics are as good as you’d ever need, but that’s not to say they’re bad; quite the opposite actually. The game has a cartoonish tone to its graphics that really lends itself to the fantasy atmosphere and the spell effects are top-notch. At first glance, the game may seem to be about who gets the strongest hero first, but that’s certainly not the case. The number of strategies are infinite and everything can be easily countered by an experienced player. There is a heavy emphasis on micromanagement and spellcasting in the thick of battle that is overwhelming even for me, a 6-year starcraft veteran. I recommend dialing down the game speed during especially large battles, because the computer will wipe you out if you give it the chance.
