Tol Barad Commendations

Earlier this week  I could afford the [Reins of the Drake of the Westwind] from Tol Barad for 200 commendations.




I am not a great fan of the new drakes, i think they have a weird face, but i still kinda like to collect mounts, so i bought it. Mostly i didn't know what else to buy with my commendations since i don't really need anything more from this vendor anyways.


I would strongly recommend doing the dailies in Tol Barad. There are really nice rewards you can get, and by turning the dailies you earn commendations and reputation with the faction Bardin Warden's. When you win a battle there are about 6 quests available on the Tol Barad island, the Battleground island.  Then you can move to the Tol Bard peninsula (the one from the portal) and do the rest of the dailies. I can't tell which is the best moment in doing your dailies, probably when it's controlled by your faction, but there will still be people ganking you while you quest! Personally i think it is nice, cuz you get honorable kills while questing 


The first item I bought from the Quartermaster at the Alliance camp was the [Arcanum of Vicious Strength], a head slot enchant with +60 strength +35 resilience which is the best head enchant you can get for PvP and then the shoulder enchant +50 strength + 25 resi. I hesitated getting a sword frome there, but since I was going to have the Vicious Gladiator's sword, it had been a waste of those commendations and i saved them for the drake.
There are also trinkets, diverse enchants and weapons, mounts, etc. 
Here's the link to the vendor if you want to check out all what he sells with more details.


I am now saving for the spectral horsie! and then the seagul may be.
Btw. I didn't do the dailies EVERY single day, I got bored of it often, but I tried to do them when i had time and felt like it, and it went fast enough! Also don't forget you can make nice money from these, the mobs drop a lot of Embersilk Cloth and grey items worth golds at any vendor. There are also plenty of plants/flowers, elementium and mobs to skin, not to forget the cute Fox Kit pet which drops from the Baradin Foxes.


I kinda like him after all.
How much time did it take you for the achievement [Just Another Day in Tol Barad]? Because i am doing dailies for a long time now and didn't get it o.o looks like they never want to give me the quests i miss.

3 vs 3

After all, no 2vs2 today. We went 3vs3, with my usual blood DK arena partner, renamed the undying (i'm serious, he rly never dies) and a cutie pie prot paladin. Our team is called: "WTB MOAR TANKZ" Couldn't get a better name...

No names for the ©, but you can still stalk us on the armory!

Well don't worry we aren't planning to be #1 with this setup, but you would still be surprised how good we can be at it.


At the beginning, i have to be honest we met some teams which were like super fail. We had no great merit in beating the crap out of em, but who cares it's still points.


Yes, i have it. Also fixed the hair! Beauty 
We made a break after i got my precious, and i did a quick BG to purchase my new pvp cloak. I've hit 2.6k resilience, which is a pretty big upgrade comparing to 1 week ago! +600 resi.


Btw the sword is a dream. It's smooth like a cloud, i hit through ppl like into rotten tomatoes ♥ Remember my old weapon was the [Oversized Oblique Ogre Obliterator]* it's lovely pink like a raspberry but low for my goals. BIG UPGRADE OMFG x2.


Later we did more 3vs3 and wooooooot, we really did it first-class! Last week we had smth like only 30% wins now we have 75% wins! It looks like i am improving on the same time my gear does. I need more bindings goddammit. 


Feedback: I've reached 1k rating on 3vs3 too now, aye it's so extreme. I will definitely play again in the team this week, even if i have my cap pts... I am literally DYING for more arenas!!!

Twinkie Winkie

When i logged in today my arena partner wasn't online, and since i refuse to play with someone else, i decided to play a bit on my future lvl 60 twinkie. 


I first didn't even know what a twink was, i remember asking a friend:
-"lol your char is lvl 19 for a long time now, got trouble lvlig him?"
-"No, he's a twink.
-"Ahh ok." <--- having no idea what the hell a TWINK is.


Then when i knew what it was, i was like: Yo that's just for people who want to be sure to win at their lvl, it's lame! Yeah it's probably true in a way.


A lot of guys i knew had twinks, so after saying 10 mio times it sucked, i thought the idea wasn't bad after all. Since i like to have a lot of alts anyways, why not a twink? To me it's more like a doll you have to customize, and also a good way to relax after arenas, tough raiding or getting sick on your main in general. We all do sometimes, don't we?


I have a lvl 40 Mage called Daikiri on Shattered Hand like my main. I'm obsessed with female nelfs lately. She is going to be a lvl 60 twink. Eventhough you can't do BG's a that lvl, i think the gear is not too hard to get plus you can have flying mount. Daikiri strawberry is ARCANE, not fuckin' frost, thanks. I gotta say i'm in love with this spec, of course it requires more skill than frostlol mage but there's a lot of burst you can do.




I have another lvl 60 twink called Damian, a blood DK. I already got some of the gear i need on him. Actually made him to RP with a friend, but i think it's nice to make a twink out of him, since blood DK twinks are OP for 60. Especially cuz i don't want to lvl another DK to 85... Death Knight is the class i can play the best anyways. He's handsome, isn't he? 




Now i know some ppl are crazy about their bank chars, i do the same with mine. 
Nyponi, my lvl 20 enhancement shamy is the only real *DOLL* i have. She's also probably the only lvl 20 bank char but i wanted her to have a mount. She has many RP clothes and rides a red Hawkstrider  



I have as good as 0 xp in twinks, so if anyone can give me advices for my DK and Mage lvl 60, you would be welcome :)

Updates. You must be kidding me???



Before heading to bed i checked MMO champion for the weekly updates.
And this is what i saw:







I hope they are not serious or smth? lolilolol
Ah yes frost mages aren't OP enough, sure.


I gotta say i totally FFFFFFFFFFFÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ-ed for this -_- 
(yes, fü- because i'm german)


Blabla i don't care, tomorrow i'll get my sword, even with mages, even with double or triple frost mages i'll own everything and get this beauty and change my hair color back to blue!


Yes Sir.


Good night.

Arenas, yah! Arenas, yah!

I proudly present my Death Knight: Vicious Gladiator Anaesthetic

-> Attempt to look imba with paint.
So basically, it's the 2nd week i'm trying arenas, to get those damn conquest pts. Because i totally want this [Vicious Gladiator's Greatsword]*! I mean, it's super lush  Also, my actual weapon is starting to get rusty. I WANT MOAR GEAR (and a new hair color).

The arenas went pretty good, that means i have my pts (YES!) and without losing 100 to win 5. 
I even got past 1k rating now omg awesomeness! please note the irony in my sentence. My partner is a blood DK just like me and we pwn ¦D and no, it wasn't supposed to be the class-combo de la muerte for pvp but, it works fine for the weekly cap. Cuz we're good see. Idd.


Some of our 'weekly cap' encounters:
Alright, there was those two druids you know, it took like one million years to get them down. But, they couldn't get us down either. See the kind of shit where u feel like ur really losing ur time? 
A resto druid and a feral druid. The feral IN BEAR FORM is doing like ONE dmg to me every 5 years and even let's me heal on him when i need to (thank you death strike). Dear God, i already knew how it would end anyways, get the healer oom and we won. Thats how it happened. Nothing against druids, i have one myself, but wtf srsly. These kind of teams should be forbidden.


No comment about faceroll setups like DISC priest and FROST mage.

I won't say what i think of FROST mages here, cuz they really deserve a whole article, or may be not, THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT! feel the melee nerdraging.


The other teams were fine, sometimes we won sometimes we also won, fair enough ya know.
Can't wait for next week for more. It is kinda addicting isn't it? o.O


Have a nice week end !!!
