Gnomesblight, master swordsmith Death Knight

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Having reached a mining skill of 400 with Gnomesblight, my Death Knight, my stock of fel iron ore seems sufficient to get back to an anvil to craft some armour to hone my blacksmithing skills. Carefully selecting the more complicated patterns I have been taught I find that my ...

More efficient Death Knight mining

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Despite being sick of mining with my Death Knight I still had ore to gather if I wanted to increase my blacksmithing skill so that I could craft my Stoneforged Claymore. I still take time out to enjoy the Death Knight class by questing, but I have a target ...

Gnomesblight the grand master miner, crappy blacksmith Death Knight

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

My Death Knight has been mining, mining, mining. I finally kicked the mithril habit, after making many laps around Tanaris collecting ore and crafting a couple of dozen mithril coifs. Finally able to use thorium I withdraw the one hundred and sixty four thorium bars from the bank ...

Gnomesblight visits Underbog

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Whilst flying to Ashenvale after failing to find a campfire in Felwood on which to cook my bear flanks I am offered a spot in a group that is looking to conquer Underbog, part of Coilfang Reservoir in Zangarmarsh. Despite normally being shy with new people, as well as ...

The Death Knight cookbook

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Death Knights may have good first aid skills when starting out, but just as trained professions start from scratch so does cooking. My initial plan for Gnomesblight was to complete quests as I mined ore for blacksmithing, allowing me to gain faction reputation as well hunt beasts to let ...

Probing the Death Knight

Friday, December 5th, 2008

I have been a bit unsure as to what powers my Death Knight's abilities. Certain talents refer to 'spells', yet they certainly aren't powered by mana, and other abilities are based on melee attacks. I think I'll try experimenting to find out what stats would be best to ...

Gnomesblight, Death Knight weaponsmith

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

I have some time outside of grouping with my Death Knight friend at the moment. I thought I'd try to get the weaponsmith quest out of the way, as it isn't the most exciting of endeavours to undertake when twenty or so levels above the requirement, as well as ...

Mining 300 on my Death Knight

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

My initial plan for Gnomesblight, my Death Knight, was to level up my mining and blacksmithing concurrently, and hopefully take advantage of running through the low-level areas to gain some faction reputation and cookery ingredients. The idea was that if I didn't do this initially it would be frustrating ...

Some quick missions, minus one ship

Monday, December 1st, 2008

My new plan to run missions quickly to gain faction standing more efficiently, ignoring bounties, loot and salvage, starts off well. I pop in to New Eden and pick up my first mission of the evening from my agent, the Repair Station. There isn't a better mission for ...

More Death Knight mining

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

After motivating myself to spend some more time as a space cadet I disappointed myself a little when I procrastinated slightly before ending up loading World of Warcraft. It just seems like I have so much to achieve in World of Warcraft at the moment. I would like ...
