For the Horde?!?

First of all, I had a fantastically productive holiday away from work.. Oryanna, well she sat in Dalaran mainly, did a few dailies ect. Distortion "attempted" to run Naxx 10-man... yeah wasn't happening.... Soo, Seren and I decided to do something drastic.. and by drastic I mean..

+ Plus + = Equals =

Innaura :)

Yup we did it, we made Horde characters. I made a Blood Elf Priestess, and Seren made a Tauren Warrior. You can find us running helter skelter through Cromaggus Server. We are using our Refer a Friend account (poor druids left out) and we are both leveling fairly fast. Innaura is level 27 and Moovinon (yes, Mooo-ving on LOL) is 26 or 27. It is sooo much fun, and I feel bad for Oryanna not getting much play time, but until we start running guild heroics or something she is just sitting in Dalaran collecting dust. Don't worry I won't stop working on her :) I am just having fun with my priest.

Healing is so dramatically different than DPS, which I have always been, with Lalar is was ranged DPS, and with Oryanna it's melee DPS. With Innaura, the little damage I do is with smite, or mind flay/blast (w/e) but I mainly follow being my sweetie healing him while he tears up the mobs.

I healed through Wailing Caverns when she was around 19~20 and it was fun, challenging to me since I had to watch 4 other folks, not just Seren. I downloaded Healbot and it makes it to much easier and so much fun. So expect some random Priest info on here. Which reminds me I need to add her to my sidebar lol.

Anyways, that was what happened for the holidays. New Hordie :) Welcome Innaura to the "You Recieve Loot" family :)

~<@ Ory & Inn ;)

From Oryanna to you! <3

First of all, I want to take the time to wish all my friends, family, and readers of "You Receive Loot", a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Blogging has become such joy for me and I see that people are searching for things and finding them here, and I am so glad to be able to provide that. I hope ya'll get everything you wish/dream for be it something in RL or that Shiney Spike Titansteel Helm you have been wanting since you saw that DK with it in Dalaran. Very very Merry Christmas everyone! :) <3 <3 /hug

Luckily, my computer is back up and running, will be back on WoW tonight, but since I am looking at 5 days off from work and I plan on becoming a hermit, (lol) and snuggling into some warm pjs with hot coco and cuddling with my Seren (<3) randomly in between WoW time hehe. Plus this will be my sons second Christmas, so we're planning fun for him!

Anyways, lol, may blog during the holidays, may not, but either way, Happy Holidays everyone! Thanks for including "Your Receive Loot" in your reading!

I iz sad panda...

So, no WoW this weekend.. :( My computer is out of commission until I can get it to a shop, get the money, and get it fixed. Apparently my power supply is messed up, so it's going to cost me around $62 to get it fixed. *crosses fingers* Doubt I'll find anyone that can before Christmas, but we'll see...

Anyways just letting everyone know, my Wow time is limited at the moment, but I'll be back soon, maybe.. :(


I iz sad panda...

Death Knight Raid Consumables

I belive this picture fits, A) with the season, and B) with the topic. I mentioned in my last post that I was going to go over Raid Consumables for the Death Knight class, so here it comes.


Note: Buying from the auction house is easymode, but you can always work on your cooking skill or befriend (or date) someone who is a cook. (Hehe <3 Seren) As I mentioned about tipping your jewelcrafter/leatherworker/enchanter, please try to provide the meat for cooking for your cook, it's always nice to do so, takes a lot to farm the meat plus they have to do dailies to get the spices they need to cook. (Tipping is fantastic too!)
**Further note: This list also includes elixers and flasks, same as cooking, be nice provide the mats (herbs) and/or tip nicely! Same for scribes, I'll add the list of glyphs! LOL I keep thinking of things that need to be added hehe.

Anyways, on with the nom noms for raiding!

-Stat Foods
*Dragonfin Filet
*Spiced Wyrm Burger
*Spicy Blue Nettlefish
*Rhinolicious Wyrmsteak
*Snapper Extreme
*Spiced Mammoth Treats
*Succulent Orca Stew (As Suggested by Siotic)

-Elixers
*Elixir of Mighty Strength (B)
*Elixir of Accuracy (B)
*Elixir of Deadly Strikes (B)
*Elixir of Expertise (B)
*Elixir of Mighty Agility (B)
*Elixir of Mighty Fortitude (G)

-Flask
*Flask of Endless Rage

*EDIT* It's almost time for me to get off work, I will finish this list with the mats as soon as I get the chance! Sorry for the incompleteness!

Ohh before I get started on pretties, I want to say grats to my sweetheart Seren for hitting 80, he grabbed screenies and should hopefully email them soon, and I will make a big post for him :)

DK Guide for Chants and Gems

AKA: Since I am far too lazy to dig around the interwebs all the time and the simple fact that my blog is my homepage on my home computer, this shall be my own guide for Chants and Gems.

Now first of all, all of these are up for questioning and other folks may have different opinions on these, but I have been (and am actually still) researching this.

Good thing for me, Oryanna is a jewelcrafter, so I have for my use the special trinkets that I can gem.. such as Emerald Boar and Twilight Serpent (ignore the spell power use feature, in it for hit rating).

Now for enchants, there may be more, this is just what I have found on Wowhead.com.
Boots
- Greater Assault
*Requires 35x Infinite Dust, 5x Greater Cosmic Essence, and 4x Abyss Crystal.

- Tuskarr's Vitality
*Requires 40x Infinite Dust, 10x Greater Cosmic Essence, and 1 Abyss Crystal.

Wrists
- Greater Assault
*Requires 25x Infinite Dust and 15x Greater Cosmic Essence.
- Expertise
*Requires 24x Infinite Dust and 4x Greater Cosmic Essence.

Chest
- Powerful Stats
*Requires 15x Infinite Dust and 4 Abyss Crystal.

Cloak
- Major Agility
*Requires 18x Infinite Dust, 6x Greater Cosmic Essence, and 2x Dream Shard.

Gloves
- Crusher
*Requires 22x Infinite Dust, 9x Greater Cosmic Essence, and 2x Dream Shard.
- Precision
*Requires 15x Infinite Dust and 5x Greater Cosmic Essence.

Legs (Love your leatherworkers!)
- Nerubian Leg Armor
*Requires 5x Heavy Borean Leather and 1 Nerubian Chitin.
- Icescale Leg Armor
*Requires 2x Arctic Fur and 2x Icy Dragonscale.

**Note I left out one I have seen suggested on the forums for cloak.. mainly because it suits a Duel wield spec, which I am not and do not really suggest because a lot of the spec's for duel wielding are up in the air.. but if you do decide to go with it, haste rating may be good for you so Greater Speed might be something to look into. Now for the regular 2 hand wielding folks like Oryanna, +agi is better for our cloaks.
(For more info on Duel Wield specs, Don't look here lol, check out the Official WoW Forums or maybe Elitist Jerks, mainly because I know squat about it)


Now for gems, **NOTE** there are LOTS of gems that would work, so take a look weigh your options, I like to use Warcrafter.net and "gem" your equips and see what it does to your stats, if you like it, get it. But do your research!

**Shameless plug** If your on The Forgotten Coast server, Alliance side, whisper Oryanna for your jewelcrafting needs ;)

And on with the list-

RED:
~Blood Scarlet Ruby
~Precise Scarlet Ruby
~Accurate Monarch Topaz
~Etched Monarch Topaz
~Incribed Monarch Topaz

YELLOW:
~Rigid Autumn's Glow
~Smooth Autumn's Glow
~Accurate Monarch Topaz
~Etched Monarch Topaz
~Incribed Monarch Topaz


BLUE:
~Sovereign Twilight Opal
~Jagged Forest Emerald
~Vivid Forest Emerald

META:
~Relentless Earthsiege Diamond
~Chaotic Skyflare Diamond

TIP: Please remember to tip your chanter, leatherworker and jewelcrafter nicely. They work really hard to level these skills for themselves and for you. :)

Next post I'll sort out what +stat consumables will help with the all important part of raids.

100th Post & BT?

So according to Blogger, this will be "You Receive Loot"'s 100th post! Yay? I was home sick yesterday, so I got a lot done in WoW, actually, the past couple of days have been full of win for Oryanna.


First of all, lots of Heroics, with many many drops. Like:

~Chirin Shell Greathelm (From Azjol-Nerub Heroic)
~Sword Of Justice (From Heroic Halls of Stone)
~Echoing Stompers (from Heroic Utgard Pinnacle)

All in all, pretty good drops.

Ory is not hitting 1st or 2nd in DPS, which makes me happy.

Plus she is slowly inching her way up to 450 Jewelcrafting, I got 2 recipe drops in various heroics.

Annnnd... randomly last night, a good friend whispered me and asked if I wanted to do BT..

BT, I thought, surely he doesn't mean... Black.. Temple..

Yup he did, so I was added to group and after waiting for more members and flying to Shadowmoon Valley, Oryanna was in Black Temple... for the first time ever... ok, for MY first time ever O.o...

It was so awesome, I took screenies (at home of course) we got to Supremus and after wiping a few times, we left... boo... oh well :) I at least got to see some of it.

Just a random thing I noticed, didn't bring it up in raid chat, but it made me giggle... On the the Dragonmaw Fliers said..

"Permission to buzz the towers!"

LMAO, sooooo Top Gun reference and I caught it!

Anyways... tomorrow may be a special post, Seren is so close to 80 and is under strict rules not to DING until I get home from work so I can screenie it! So we'll see :)

Til Later!

<2 Ory

/snicker

This was posted on WoW_ladies and I just HAD to share it on my blog!

Edit: Image way too big... check out this .

A Basic guide for Mining :)

<@ Ory

I never imagined "You Receive Loot" would have such traffic but ya'll are proving me wrong in leaps and bounds! So hello everyone!

<@ Ory

Ho ho ho! Winter Veil! YAY!

So, I log into WoW this morning expecting to get some random dailies done, when I noticed Christmas trees had sprouted all over Dalaran. I looked at the WoW in-game calender and much to my surprise today was the start of the "Winter Veil" festival. Now, only playing WoW like since May, means I haven't got to experience this event, and by golly (Wow I said that lol) Oryanna is going to jump in head first! So, with the help of Wowhead.com and wowwiki.com, I have compiled the guide for myself and anyone else (Alliance side) for the Winter Veil festival.


Of course there is a cute title to receive when you finish the Merrymaker Achievement. The get this Achievement there are quiet a few quests you need to complete.

~On Metzen!
~Scrooge
~Tis The Season
~Simple Abominable
~Bro's Before Ho Ho Ho's
~He Knows if You've Been Naughty
~With a Little Helper From My Friends
~Fa-La-La-La Ogri’la
~Crashin’ & Thrashin’
~Let It Snow
~The Winter Veil Gourmet
~A Frosty Shake

Plus cute items! (Clothing, etc)

=Winter Garb
* Red Winter Hat // Green Winter Hat
* Red Winter Clothes // Green Winter Clothes
* Winter Boots

To craft 1 set you’ll need:

* Clothes: 4 bolts of runecloth (20 peices of runecloth), 1 bolt of woolen cloth (3 pieces of wool), 2 red or green dye & 1 rune thread.
* Boots: 1 copper bar, 1 bolt of woolen cloth (3 pieces of wool), 4 rugged leather & 1 rune thread

And mmmmm FOOD!
**Gingerbead Cookie
**Egg Nog
**Hot Apple Cider

Only thing I see is that the Hot Apple Cider requires 325 cooking O.o, which Oryanna does not have, but very well might to get this achievement lol.

That's about it! I can't wait to get that title, even if I have to grind my cooking skill LOL.

Dodging the Nerf Bat again :)

News from the all mighty Ghostcrawler (big blue crab of nerf) on the World of Raids site:

Quote from: Ghostcrawler (Source)

We have talked about making some of these changes and wanted to provide more details. You should be able to try these out yourselves on the PTR before they go live.

Our reason for most of these changes should be obvious, but some common themes are:
-- Making tanking still rely on cooldowns, but rely on them a little less.
-- Make Blood a more attractive spec, and particularly for tanking.
-- Chill out some of the defensive capabilities all DKs have in PvP.
-- Avoid having to use Death and Decay as an out-of-combat runic power generator.
General

* All multi-rune abilities generate 15 runic power.
* New runeforge rune -- Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle (two-handed only) now grants 25 Defense and 2% Stamina.
* Many death knight glyphs have been changed. In many cases the negative consequences were removed.
* New death knight sigils are now available, primarily from vendors, including a tanking-oriented sigil.

Blood

* The healing of Blood Aura, Blood Presence and Death Pact has been doubled.
* Heart Strike – we overhauled this ability. It no longer has a haste debuff but will now be able to strike two targets like a cleave. It still hits for more than Blood Strike, but you can still use Blood Strike if e.g. you don’t want to break CC.
* Bloody Strikes – the bonus damage from Pestilence has been moved here to help Blood AE slightly.
* Pestilence -- no longer has a 10 sec cooldown.
* Vampiric Blood -- in addition to its current effects, also adds 20% health temporarily.
* Will of the Necropolis -- now reduces the damage of any attack that takes the DK below 35% health by 5 /10/15% instead of boosting armor when wounded
* Dancing Rune Weapon – cost reduced from 60 to 40 runic power.

Frost

* Rune Strike -- damage decreased from 200% to 150% but threat increased to 150% from 100%.
* Icebound Fortitude – now reduces damage by 20% instead of 50%. The amount of damage reduced increases with bonus Defense (to about 35% for 540 Defense, but it can go higher). The stun immunity is intended to be its primary role in PvP.
* Frost Presence -- bonus armor increased from 60 to 80% and magic damage reduction increased from 5 to 15%. We wanted to reduce the effectiveness of cooldowns but bring up base mitigation to reduce damage spikiness.
* Horn of Winter -- now has no cost and grants 10 runic power in addition to its stat buff, but has a 30 sec cooldown.
* Hungering Cold – cost reduced from 60 to 40 runic power.

Unholy

* Anti-Magic Shell -- cooldown lowered to 45 sec from 60 sec.
* Bone Shield -- mitigation reduced from 40% to 20%.
* Corpse Explosion -- damage increased substantially, added 5 sec cooldown, and changed cost to 40 runic power.
* Night of the Dead -- now grants 40/70% passive area spell avoidance to your pet in addition to its current effects.
* Outbreak – this talent no longer receive bonus damage from Pestilence. The bonus from Plague Strike and Blood Boil has been increased slightly.
* Raise Dead -- now split into two spells: Raise Dead now raises a ghoul or pet ghoul (if talented). Raise Ally now raises a fallen party member (at no reagent cost).
* Shadow of Death -- duration reduced from 45 seconds to 25 seconds.
* Unholy Blight – cost reduced from 60 to 40 runic power.

Sounds good to me, looks like the DK's have dodged the nerf bat yet again!!

Oryanna is now a Blood/Unholy Hybrid, doing pretty awesome on DPS, waiting to see how well she does in heroics. (been busy leveling skills)

Professions, Wintersgrasp and Randomness

*hums* It's beginning to look a lot like Christmasssss.....

Hehe sorry that icon is just too cute! Sorry I haven't blogged lately, I see I do have readers and that makes me so happy! Say hi to me when you stop in, on my lil chatbox, no having to sign up for anything, just pop in your name, blog (if you have one) and message and there ya are!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic holiday season! I sure am. This year will be my son's 2nd Christmas, and it has been fun. That's one of the many reasons I haven't blogged lately.

Another is that I am swamped at work usually. My blogging is normally while I am at work with some downtime so I can have my afternoons devoted to Landon and WoW. (and Seren ;) ) We've got a lot of Christmas events and remotes going on so we're staying pretty busy.

Now for WoW stuff, (this IS a WoW blog of course) Oryanna hit 450 in mining a few days back, now I can mine anything in the game lol. Pretty easy to do actually. After I hit 80, I started mining exclusively, while also working on my jewelcrafting, which is now 375. *squee* Gonna take a bit for 450 JC, but it's coming!

And some fun info, Wintersgrasp is actually fun! I heard you can mine titanium nodes from there, so I waited until after a battle when alliance had control of the fortress, ran into the portal and wandered around. Apperently some horde had the same idea, so I got to see how Oryanna did with PvP (pretty good til it was 3 on 1..) and I actually walked away with around 6-8 ores. Well, I was not paying attention to the timer on the top of the screen and after a rogue/mage combo killed me and I rezzed in the Alliance controlled fortress, a raid type warning flashed on my screen, "The battle for Wintersgrasp will start soon" I thought, hmm hadn't tried it yet, maybe I'll stick around. So I did, I hopped up onto a harpoon type gun, and defended the East Side of the fortress which luckily for me, is where the horde tried to take over. I got 50 horde kills and a massive amount of honor. We did loose the fortress however but there was no real raid group going in. Next time I am going to set up a raid group and we're gonna win! I am addicted it was so much fun, first gunning at the horde by sitting in a harpoon shooter and smashing them, then when they got smart and destroyed my harpoon gun, I got into one of the rolling seige weapons and plowed horde around like lil bugs! Was soooooooooooooooooo fun! Can't wait to go again!

Anyways, working on Dailies too for some gold, Lala is close to 50 pets, but Oryanna is far away, yet I want her to have the skunk.. since she is my main now. So crazy lol...

Anyways more soon! SAY HI Readers!

<@ Ory

< Imajika > Recruiting! We want you!

Working on my advertisement for Imajika, I am considering opening it up to become a real guild instead of a bank guild.

~Who we are~
Imajika is a BRAND new guild, just starting out in Lich King. We're looking for fun people who are questing to level and just want to be involved in raiding as the skill increases.

~Plans~
We are leveling at the moment. With the expansion still new we are trying to level, but I do plan on raiding as soon as we get enough members to do so.

~Raid Times~
Up in the air right now, as we get more members and more serious raiders, we will decide set times, if there will even be any.

~We're looking for competent, dedicated players who will give their all, and can follow the basics below.

-Being Prepared for raids/dungeons/instances. This means:
~Provide your own consumables prior to the raid.
~Read up on boss strategies, Wowhead.com is an awesome source.
~Be helpful and polite, give help where needed and not negative feedback.

-Dedication.
I'm not asking you to be online all the time. We all have lives, and I and any officers I assign will not look down on having a life. I do ask that you play frequently, and have desire to be involved.

-Experience.
This is simple, if you have raided before, fantastic! If you haven't, that's great too, we are all learning in Lich King and anyone from the seasoned raider to the newcomers are more than welcome!

What Imajika does not want:
^Egos..
^Rudeness..
^Bad Attitudes..

Classes Needed? Not really, we are seriously just starting out, this guild is open to any class, any level (willing to get to 80 soon) and your alts (if they are helpful).

For more information or to apply: http://imajika.guildlaunch.com/

I just lawled!

C'mon Seren let's go get some icecream! *runs*

LOL!

<3 Ya babe!

~,<@Oryanna

DING! *squee*

So, last post Oryanna was 72, with Seren ahead by one level. Well, thanks to the holidays....


ORYANNA IS LEVEL 80!!!!!!!!!!!



I'm so happy! Did a lot of quest grinding, ran through Zul'Drak, Scholizar Basin, Snow Peaks, and Icecrown as fast as I could. I actually ran out a few times and had to go back to lower level quests and grinding mobs, but luckily I made it. Actually at 79, I didn't have any high level quests that didn't involve an Instance, so I went back to Zul'drak to finish off a random quest and that's where it happened!



So YAY! All that work, quests, grinding.. pays off!

Seren, is still 75, but he was with family and friends through his holidays and wasn't on like I was. He'll be 80 soon, I know it ;)

I'm so crazy, after all the ding screenshots, I hearthed to Dalaran and ran to my absolute favorite place in the city and set off the fireworks I got in a "Congratulations on 80" package from Blizzard.



That is my favorite screenie yet lol.

I spent the rest of the night working on my mining, it's to 175 at the moment and I will be trekking around Sithilus tonight farming Mythril.

Imajika's guild bank is full of ore/bars/gems lol, trying to decide if I want to sell it on the AH, and make some gold for my epic flying mount or see if another friend may need it. I am kinda close to my Epic flying mount for Oryanna, I have around 2,500g, and the training is 5,000g. Hopefully with dailies and things, I be able to get it soon.

I also plan and visiting Wintersgrasp, the new Northrend PvP area. In my mind I see Oryanna doing ok, but that could change lol. For now, I want to work on my mining. Then my jewelcrafting because I got 3 nice zone jewelcrafting drops while I was leveling.

Anyways, yay me, for hitting 80 lol.

More soon!
