Deadskully the Beloved

WOOT! and FINALLY! Ive been stuck on this for a while, of course. I tried to really push after MoP came out because of all the new factions I figured I would be able to get this easier. Weeeel, after I got to exalted with all the Panda factions, I needed 2 more to go. ARGH! I was stuck at 58. The closest ones were Ashen Verdict, Brood of Nozdormu, and The Black Prince. All stuck at revered, not really moving.
The Ashen Verdict was the next to hit, as you saw from a previos post with my LK kill. That one was easy to get and I dont know why I didn't do it waaaaay sooner. I mean come on, I always see people in trade LFM ICC. Part of that hesitation was the fact that I didnt want to be commited to just one thing for that next hour+... BUT really it doesnt even take an hour now. Silly me, what ever, I dont know these things.
Alright now one more to go!. Because Im done with my Klaxxi and Dominance Offensive rep I dont do the dailies anymore. Majority of the Black Prince rep came from doing those 2 dailies. So that would be a tough and loooong ass grind if I chose to do that next... so um yeah, no!
Then my last quick option was an Old world faction. Brood of Nozdormu is rep you get from running both AQ's. You can pick up sigils also to turn in for rep. 550 for each. I knew I couldnt get past the twins so I asked Monk if he could help me. And thank goodness he said yes. We went in there, I turned in whatever sigils I had then we started through. It took all the way to the last Boss kill for this to pop for me. FUCKIN SWEETNESS!!!

No Pink Rocket for Skully:-(

Picnic for one
I am so sad that I never got the pink rocket this year. At the start of the the Holiday Event I had a plan to run all possible alts in there everyday. Thats 8 all together in 14 days sooo, 8x14=112! I would have a hundred and twelve chances to open a stupid box and find a rocket. after about the first week I was getting tired running them all. I have tank and healer classes, but they are all DPS, as I never really tried to heal or tank anything ever, So you can just imagine all the time i wasted in DPS ques. Sometimes I would bug friends and ask then to come and give me a insta-que, but I always feel bad for asking, I know they have their own stuff to do. But they were always so nice and willing to help me out.
AFK rando sitting down and decided to go "picnic" her
Casholight an afk guildie and went to 'picnic' her too
Anywhos, dispite the No Rocket for Skully! I did get the picnic basket, roses for the girls hairs, gas masks and 5 toxic oozlings. Now for the toxic oozlings because you can only learn 3 and they are soulbound when you get them out of the box, I had to learn them, then cage them and then sell them on the AH or give them away.and I already had one from a long time ago, I think I have one more to sell out of the 3.

while i was 'picnicing' Cash, a pally came and sat by us... how sweet!
So sadly the pics here are not of the Rocket, which I was looking forward to posting Deadskully on but rather of Skully and randos having a picnic. OK I kind just saw these people AFK and sitting so I had Skully put the basket down and jacked screenshots. lol actually one of them was an afk guildie.

Took me long enough... LK kill

I know this was long overdue, and this raid pretty much doesnt matter but I was proud to finally get this done. Thanks to Monk and Beefy for inviting me along. I also got my Ashen Verdict rep to Exalted. When we left Cata, I haven't did ICC since and so my rep stayed at halfway through revered until the 12 of this month. Fuckin finally! is all I can say.
First time running through with Monk and Beefy, got me the achieves




Second time

Bev and Steven needed to finish it as well so I brought Babyskully in with them because Deadskully was locked for the week. Needed Monk to come on Mavrick to help us kill the Lich King. He came and we killed.



Babyskully and Mav


These clowns thought it was hilarious to pop mushrooms on him. They defiled his body in many ways then what i could get pictures of. Monk teabagged him, then he turned into a monkey and ate his face, and Bevy put her tree butt on his face. Silly silly friends I have. All I did was lie next to him but screen shots weren't good so no posting it up. :-)   
 WOOT FOR MY LK KILL!!!!!

Double Agent!!!!! DAMMIT!

I have been an Achievement whore ever since they were introduced to the game. Most of the ones I have are ones I can complete myself, because I'm a loner like that. Everyone who knows me know I am Horde for life. I have a logo tattooed on my arm for cripes sake. So this one damn Achievement is the bane of my WoW existence!
Double Agent requires me to have a maxed lvl toon on both Horde and Alliance. I have made an Alli toon on Lothar for the pet achieves. I needed to catch pets in all the Alliance major cities. Got those achieves and left that toon alone but didn't delete it or anything. "I NEED this achieve" I thought, so I went back on that toon and leveled it to 27. Getting it to 27 went pretty quick considering I had transferred a horde toon to that server a while back with a full set(at the time) of Heirloom gear(no pants), jumped in a lvl 25 guild and exp was crazy quick. Shit, I remember when lvling a toon was daunting grind. No exp boosts like these days. But nonetheless, I still couldn't bear the grind and in the back of my mind the fact that I am playing for the opposing faction is eating away at me and I always would joke with Monk, my tattoo is burning right now.
Now here is the part where I would be considered crazy, but I know people have done this, because I needed to do my research and make sure if I do "this", it will work. The "this" I am referring to is spending $30 and faction changing one of my maxed lvl Horde toons to Alliance, and then another $30 to bring her back. Crazy you say? hey some girls buy fuckin $100+ Gucci purses. I spend my money other ways so fuck off. So ultimately I will be spending $60 for an achievement. Oh yeah, and thankfully when I do bring her back, and I will!, I will still have the achieve.
My next decision is who do I send over. I wouldn't mind sending my priest over but she has 2 gathering professions as well as my Mage, but my Mage is not 90 yet so I can't afford to send my only farmer at the moment over. My pally, DK and shammy have professions I can't afford to be without for an extended period of time. So the only other option is *gulp*, Babyskully, my other Lock. I get a pit in my stomach when I think of sending her over into enemy territory. I told Monk, I will make her a Human and she will be what Deadskully looked like before she died and became undead.lol.  Then I tell myself, oh well if that's what you have to do/think to make yourself feel better about making this horrible decision then so be it. Steven did try to give me an idea, making a DK. you get past the first 55 lvls, but then there's the other 35 lvls that I have to push out, and I don't want to spend that much time playing an Alli toon. /facepalm. Can't win with me huh... NO, I'm so stubborn! And I want this achieve the quickest way possible. This is a pic of Babyskully's, "WTF!, are you seriously gonna send me over there?" reaction.
* after I transfer I will post a pic of Babyskully in her Alliance skin.

Pink Cranes my ass!

MoP Beta
Ok so yes I do have a Hunter, and yes she's already 89, BUT as far as knowing shit about this class, I am clueless (kinda). Until the other night I was running around with a Sunscale Raptor from the Barrens my brother got when this was his toon.
MoP
Ok a little back story on my hunter. My brother had gotten into this game I wanna say either right before BC or right after. His main was an Alliance Night Elf Hunter, I forget the name. He quit playing before I left Hawaii. I moved in with Jace and he was an avid player and he got me into the game. I started playing and was trying to get my brother back into the game, but he wasn't gonna budge. He was, is, and will always be a console gamer. Anywhos, so brother said he was never coming back to the game so I could have his account. Now this was before battle.net and so when Blizzard introduced Battle.net to their pre-existing games I was able to change the name on my bro's account to mine and all my info and from then on, it belonged to me.
Path
Now my next issue with this account was that all his toons were Alli. Yeah, I know! So I left it alone, and it sat for a good year or two, stuck at 68. I had a hunter on my own account that I got to 65. THEN around the time of the scroll of resurrection came out with the free 80 for recipient and a Spectral Mount for the scroll giver. Of course I jumped at that. Now here's where I spent money to just get an 80 hunter. I think all I paid for was an account transfer because The free server and faction transfer came with it because, The scrolls were designed for you and your friend to play together. So a Faction change later I had a Belf Hunter. Woot! Sadly I deleted my Hunter because I was maxed out on Hyjal toons, and named her Mishel after My sis Michelle.
Alright now onto the pics that I have.
MoP beta screenshot at the top is of a pagoda in the Jade Forest and around there were pink cranes. I remembered this a while ago when I started to lvl my hunter again to push her from 87 to 90. "Ohhhh I want a pink crane as a pet!!!" I went scouring the Jade forest and couldn't find any pink cranes! WTF! But I found the pagoda but there were friggen blue cranes around it. OK this can't be the same pagoda then! Looked on WoW head and come to find out that the only pink crane in the game is a rare that pats the Valley of the Four Winds and his name is Patrannache. I was soooooo pissed! Mostly bummed, and small kine pissed. lol. I will never get this fuckin bird! If I ever see this damn bird I doubt I will ever get it. I don't plan on cruising around on my hunter waiting for this damn thing to spawn. If anything I might see it with another toon that I play more, but when I switch toons, by that time it might be caught or killed by someone... or despawn. /sigh... no pink crane for Mishel.

Sweet! got my Bug Mount!... finally!



This was too Awesome. I was talking to Monk just today about me doing a crapload of archeology around Pandaland and turning the boxes in for Tol'vir artifacts and not getting the Hand or Mount to pop for me. Well I think Blizz saw me crying about it, that's pretty much seriously what it sounded like, because several more artifacts solved and I get the Ultramarine Battle Tank to pop up.  Oh Fuckin sweet! So excited, and I was tired already but I needed to finish this and get my mount tonight! and Woot I did.
Funny thing was I was falling asleep flying to the next digsites. Sites that didn't need a flightpath I either used numlock or kept my finger on the W and flew past sites many a time because I nodded off. I'm very terrible at doing that, because I've been known to nod off running dungeons or in vent with Monk. Its hilarious. Anywhos those are stories for a different time.
WOOT for my Ultramarine Qiraji Battle Tank Mount!!!!!! Come On Crawling Claw!!!!

Bye Thrall (revisited)


I was looking in my Facebook WoW album and found this picture.
The day before Cata hit we all wanted to go and say "Bye" to our Beloved Warchief Thrall. I don't care for the screenshot I decided to post on FB because I had others that were better but since that computer crapped out on me and I didn't have anything backed up, I lost better (and all) of my screenshots, too bad so sad for me.
Nonetheless tribute to Thrall was made and I'm glad I was a part of that.
note: see Jace (Hurtsdonut) in the corner. lol

Moar Hunters!!!!

This was just funny. LFR decided to group a bunch of hunters up. Don't be fooled by this meter. This was only on trash. I ended the raid out at 2nd, poop!
As Demo, I do awesome AoE damage. so the bigger the pulls tanks do the funner time I have. I love seeing me at the top of dps charts, everyone does. BUT I've always said that DPS don't mean shit if you don't know the fights. Pick up adds, or stay on boss just to top the DPS meter, assholes. I hate that shit. I have to make a macro yelling at people to get adds. Its something I find myself yelling out a lot. I think I'll go do that now.

What gets under Skully's skin? (rant)

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love WoW(duh). So along with enjoying an MMO game so much, there are the people that just annoy the shit out of me mostly because they complain, complain, complain.

If you are playing the game and you say it's "stupid", it's "dumb" then guess what just stop playing. Just because Blizzard makes the game a certain way that doesn't fit YOUR needs and what would make the game be easier for YOU doesn't mean it's dumb. Either get on board with it or STOP PLAYING! I know I shouldn't let people get to me when they put down the game that I love so much, but I do. I really don't feel like talking to the person anymore. Knowing that I too play it on a daily basis and yet you still sit there and call it a stupid game. Geez what does that say about how you feel about the people that play it and enjoy it. And really, what does that say about you that you still come back and play a "stupid game". Ultimately, Blizzard is doing something right to make your "stupid" ass keep paying 15 bucks a month. Good Job Blizz!

If you ask if I can make something, I take my time to log over to another toon to make it for you and then you tell me "nvmd, I just bought it off the AH" That will annoy the shit out of me. I have every single profession on my alts, for just that reason. If I need something, I make it myself. And if I can't make it then I see if I can get it on the Auction House. And if the Auction House doesn't have it then I look up how to either get the pattern for it, or the mats. And if I still can't get it, that's when I see if friends are online to help me with it. I do not ask them to make it for me NOW, if they are busy, I can wait. And tips are very generous coming from me. It's just courtesy for your fellow players, some people have it, and a lot of people don't.

If you ask me for advice or help on something but don't take it, that wont make me mad. I just wish was right in front of you to see you try and fail at what I just told you you cant do! I am more then willing to help people with in-game stuff. It does give me great satisfaction knowing that I can help people out when they are stuck trying to do something. But then there is the other side to that, where some people will constantly ask for help and ask the same questions over and over again. And they ask you to explain things to them like you don't have anything in the game to do yourself. They do not take the time to look things up themselves. It's called google, try it.
I will admit, Ive asked for help only a handful of times in this game and it's mostly to my friends. Majority of my time I'm looking up shit myself. WoWHead is my online bible, I refer to that for everything I get stuck on. I don't know why people don't just look things up themselves. You can take the time to read up on stuff at your own pace.


People who try to tell others how to play their class are pretty high on my Douche list as well. You can all suck it! Cuz unless you pay for that person's monthly fee, then you have no room to tell anyone how to play the game. When I think about this topic it does make me think about me, and what I do with others. Let me clear something up, and it might sound like I'm making an excuse for myself, but really, I'm not. If someone asks me for advice or my opinion on something, I will give it. I will not tell them how to play their toon, or they should play the game this way or that. People come to me for my 2 cents, I don't just go around dishing it out where it is unwanted.

When I think of the above topic, people in instances are the worse offenders. Because you can't convey sincerity or sarcasm through typing, people might have the best intentions in trying to help out a fellow player, but it will always sound arrogant if you can't hear the tone in their voice. But majority of what I've seen is always for the reason of people getting too frustrated with someone who is doing something wrong. It does show the kind of person they are when they do this, and sometimes I wanna say "geez, they're learning you dickhead, shuddup!". Some people act like everyone should know how to do everything in game right off the bat. But I usually keep the comments to myself unless they are playing extremely terrible and just all over the place.

(I wanna say this might be a part 1, because I'm sure I will find more thing to vent about)

Galleon Kill!!! Woot!!!!

I never thought I would have gotten to kill let alone see Galleon. With so many people trolling trade chat with "LFM Galleon" you never know who is telling the truth and who is just spamming trade to be jerks.
Well yesterday I was in Org on Babyskully, saw the spam, and shrugged it off. That person got a lot of crap for the post, but something about that person's reaction/defense to the accusations seemed a bit truthful. I told Monk and quickly logged off and switched to Deadskully to check it out. She was in Org as well, BUT thankfully I have her Hearthstone set to Halfhill.
I hearthed, ran out of the Inn, mounted up, headed for Galleon's spawn point and said in general chat "inv galleon"... got my invite and I was not expecting to see what I saw when I arrived. Galleon was HUGE! I was expecting to see a slightly bigger version of the Mushan that litter the area but his size was no way near those. He had about 1/3 health left by the time I arrived so I really didn't get to see his abilities and get the feel of the fight, or reeeeeally get a good look at him. It was just land, pew pew, dead.
He has a chance to drop a mount that is a smaller version of himself, his son. It didn't drop, and all I got was a bag with the usual gold in it. But I also got an Achievement:

When this popped on my screen I was like why the fuck is the Lizard dude in my achievement. Haha, yeah noob. Apparently, Galleon is his mount... well a battle tank pretty much. He sits on Galleon's head  and his Raid crew shoots players with the cannons, and jumps off to engage in fights on the ground. And yes I missed all this. I seen the bodies on the ground when I got there. Sadly Monk didn't make it there in time, so he will be keeping an eye and ear out for him( Salyis's yell can be heard through out the whole Valley of the Four Winds Zone) on Sunday because he has about a 48 hour spawn time (don't quote me on that).
Needless to say, I had an easy time, killing Galleon and getting an achieve for a World Boss kill.
