The URL has changed along with the layout. http://wow-loot.com I would imagine this will be updated with all the new gear soon to be found in the expansion.

I want to thank everyone that came out participated in The Summoning and Winter Veil Party. It was really a great way to return to the game. I appreciate all of your support and friendship. When I left, and there was a big fuss, I was amazed and am even more so upon returning. I am honored. Thank you very much. If you couldnt make it, no worries. I'll catch up with you later. Also, Wolf Productions should be making a video of the events to immortalize these bits of Skullcrusher Lore for us. Here's to year three everyone.

Winterveil closes in upon Azeroth. Most know the this is a time of renewal and celebration of many traditions. The air grows colder and the nights grow longer. As most of the clan slumbered or hudled inside near the hearth, a wee imp crept in to camp. Little Grimlos slinked and slithered about camp, making his way to his masters lair, wary of the guards that might not recognize him and hassle him. (Grimlos thought: Grimlos hates peon guards. Grimlos not plaything for smelly Crushers. Grimlos put curse on them. Heehee) He had to clamp both claws over his mouth to prevent his giggling from alerting anyone. It had been some time since he had been home. His master sent him home to light the signal fire atop the old tower and inform the apprentices to begin the ritual of return. Once inside he set to work as he was commanded. The old dark tower was brought back to life once the fires were lit. Grimlos then took this opportunity to make himself at home inside the inner sanctum. "Ahh" he sighed "Grimlos is the master of the tower now." What to do, what to do he thought. "First Grimlos find masters tome of succubus command" he said slyly. He wondered if would three succubus be too many? Heehee "Master will never know" he said wringing his claws and laughing maniacally. The bonfire atop and the smaller signal fires about the tower could be seen a good distance even from Camp Skullcrusher. Shadows moved upon the tower and grounds around it as the flames flickered in the chill night air. It seemed as if the shadows were perhaps dancing. Time will only tell what renewal Winterveil brings this year. One thing is certain, one old orc is trying to come home for the holiday.

He stood before the dark portal. His apprentices were in the midst of performing the portal opening ritual. Surrounding him were the Skullcrusher Clan and other cherished friends. He knew these were his last moments on Azeroth. As the ancestors had shown him in the visions. For a moment, his mind was flooded with the images the ancestors blessed him with. The wisdom of the ancestors had led him, and thus the clan, this far. But the scene before him was the end of the visions. For this reason Volonazra had been recently obsessed with finding some lost relics. Legends and folklore pieced together over some time lead him to a few dusty tomes and scrolls. Volonazra had studied these ancient works and writtings of Thrall had confiscated from the shadow council that dealt with portal magics. Volonazra had a theory that with the proper ritual if performed perfectly would be able to reopen a slight hole in the portal to Draenor. It was possible that he could squeeze through and prepare the way for the clan to join him. He made a plan. For the time was fast approaching, and the visions had never been wrong. Volonazra'z day dream was disolved by the loud squak of a rather large crow that had perched upon the portal. The crow looked down as the goings on below and shook his feathers. Setting his mind to the task at hand, he gave a final salute the the clan and turned toward the swirling vortex. He approached and the hum of the ritual chanting rose to a crescendo. Reaching outward the very fabric of the nether resisted. Prying and pushing he forced a larger opening and squeezed through fighting the fierce winds rushing outward. The apprentices were exhausted. There were mixed emotions upon the faces of the gathered witnesses. Mounts and the hunters animals were anxious. The crow took flight, circled over head a few moments, and flew off toward the horizon. The gathering of people heard whispers upon the thunder there in the Blasted lands. The words were: heed his legacy.

Sorry for your loss and your hard times. I hope all is heading toward a better day for you and your family. We are always glad to have more of the Honor Empire folks join us in our little slice of WoW. Get in touch with one of us and ask for and elder or myself for your invite.

Well you will need several buckets, an high powered light source, plant nutrients...oh my bad wrong herb bag i think. Harhar 5x bolts (25 cloth) runecloth 10x Purple lotus 8x Morrowgrain 2x Runethread --------------------- 20 slot Cenarian Herb bag I still prefer the other kind.

I voted Monday regardless of the established AC raid that day. I would be able to go to more things if only they started later, that raid being one of them. I am not alone in that respect. If we started a second raid on Mon., but its start time was later, I would bet it would fill with no problems. If later isnt what you had in mind, dont do Mon. at this point.

I would like to assemble a clan meeting for this coming Thursday 4/13 @ 9pm server time in the Splintertree Post tavern. There are many things the many new people (even some going on a month or more) need to be aware of. Also, Id like to discuss the upcoming addtions to the rank structure and how those ranks are to be achieved. Please make an attempt to join your mates at the meeting. If you cannot, no worries, but you would do well to ask someone about the discussion.

Id love to do this also, but I spend up most of my "wifey credits" on Wed. nights. I cant promise consistant attendence but I can lend a hand here and there as needed. I have a fair amount of strategery down on that place that i would lend as needed also.

Hows that FR coming Greenbull? We can realistically get another crack at him this Wed. and hope fully your FR will be 200+. If you need something, dont hesitate to ask. The guild coffers have a fair amount to dontate to the guild runs and FR seems a good a need as any.

Written in a letter to Yud: translated by the clan scribes into Taurahe such that the reader can understand... My friend Yudhisthir, I am still unable to find the men responsible for your tragic loss. It may be the case that we may never find the answers you seek. Take heart in the fact that your family met their end on their own terms and were not forced to be subjected to any vile human tortures of the mind, body, nor spirit. The spirits whisper of your own self inflicted tortures. I wish to speak to you not as a chieftain, but as someone that also underwent long trials of suffering and struggling with inner turmoil. What is past, can never be undone. Even if you were face to face and had your chance with those you feel caused your life to be ripped apart, what could you gain? Vengence? Yes Justice? Certainly Yet the wounds inflicted that star crossed day will not be healed by such temporary retribution. The key to regaining serenity is through yourself. Within you is the power to mend the old wounds and gain strength from the scar that will remain. Build within yourself the virtues which are eternal. Love, compasion, honor, and wisdom to name a few. When you are ready to begin the clan will be waiting. Chieftain, Volonazra

There is also a quest called Rumblers and Tumblers (iirc) that he gives. Is that a prereq to moving forward in this chain too?

Unless you have a legion of peons picking groms blood and fishing AND running to Scholo (now capped at 5) this seems just a horrible time sink or gold vacume. Is 1200HP even more than 1 or 2 hits from the bosses where it is needed the most anyhow? Just my 2cp.

Im happy for you and your family. Congratulations! Have you seen this? http://www.bloodmoonchosen.com/pages/Baby.html thought you would get a laugh.

A note on the use of Teamspeak.... Part of the benefit of TS is the enjoyment of the personal company of the people involved, but also it is a tool to make leading such things as MC much more efficient. When one part starts to prohibit the other, there will be problems. Too much party time leads to less advancement and too much overbearing efficiency leads to less enjoyment. Either extreme is not what anyone wants. Part of our guild culture is the light, easy going, fun atmosphere. Fun and games are welcome (if not manditory), but remember there are 39 other people to be conciderate of as well. Nobody has the right to make our mates, and especially not our guests, uncomfortable. More importantly, the leaders must to be able to do their job without fighting over chatter nor repeating themselves. When its time to setup and take down a boss it is critical that the channel be clear. Know who is leading, listen for them, and give them the ability to manage the raid unhampered. See you all in the Core.

Well if you dont know, part of upgrading your Tier 0 armor requires you to rampage through UDstrat and pull the Baron in 45min. Those that have tried it already know this is difficult. So, lets compile some tips and share our info. Here is what Ive learned: **Voice communication is highly recommended. **This map shows the recommended route http://s11.photobucket.com/albums/a192/Pro...atholmePath.jpg **Timer starts upon touching the second gate. **Groups of level 60s stand the best chance of avoiding time consuming fights. Skip all mobs possible(to include Magistrate) **Chain pulling is key. Do not wait until each battle is over to pull the next wave. **You cannot wait for full HP/MP so potions are a big help. **Forget about the loot, or have a predetermined system of dealing with it before lifting the second gate. **You need to pull the Baron in 44min 59sec. **Its been recommended to have 12min spare at the Abomination area due to the delay of encounters after they are cleared. (which entails clearing 1 ziggurat about every 10mins) **After Maleki, train/wipe/rez to the Abomination area. Saves 5 -7 mins. (not sure about this, sounds good but you loose the quest timer upon death. The timer returns but in my experience you only get 10min or 5mins back) Anyone else got something to add here?

Same here. Cannot connect to AD since 10pm. Join Maube, Gordantell and me in Maelstrom.

I would stick to mining. First, it helps to provide his own mats for engineering. Second, the shards from 40ish blues help the clan less than the gems and ore you could lend out. Lastly, you could make much more money running around mining than you would assasinating bosses for shards. IMHO

If you are like me, you want some info in order to plan your limited time and get the most out of it. So lets compile some of the tips and tricks about gathering the new armor. Heres a few things Ive found out: Quest line 1 needs BRACERS at the end of the quest line Quest line 2 needs BELT and GLOVES at the end of the quest line Quest line 3 needs SHOULDERS, PANTS, and BOOTS at the end of the quest line Quest line 4 needs CHESTPIECE and HELM at the end of the quest line Unfortunately you can not do them out of order, each quest follows the last. Quest Giver: Mokvar - Thralls Chamber, Orgrimmar Manascrambler - engineers shed, Gadgetzan Tradeskill items you will need: * 20 Enchanted Leather * 3 Mooncloth * 4 Cured Rugged Hide * 8 Large Brilliant Shard * 4 Greater Eternal Essence * 10 Stonescale Oil * 1 Delicate Arcanite Converter * 3 Dark Iron Bars * 1 Flask of Supreme Power * 100 Heavy Runecloth Bandages * X amount of rocket fuel (you recieve 8 during quest, i needed more to complete it. mostly due to over camped spawns and the fuel running out) Do NOT buy these items without checking with the clan for help first. Because... Gold required: *step 1 cost 20gp *step 2 cost 80-90gp (not sure how to get the imp to sell me a mat for 10g less, but rumored to be a way and mentioned in the quest chat) *step 3 cost ? *step 4 cost ? *total cost: rumored to be near 400gp (not including any bought crafted items) Solo section: Steps 1 and 2 are pretty easily soloed and world quests. Caution killing the ghosts in Silithus is advised. Dungeon section: Steps 3 and 4 - supposed to be inside one of the dungeons you recived the Tier 0 items from. Step 3 will be your first challenge. Beat the Baron or reach the slaughter house (conflicting reports sorry) in 45 mins. Since you now have a cap of 5 persons in Strat it will be intense.

Take a look! http://argentdawn.guildportal.com sign up, participate, and have fun with it Created inpart by our friend Liquidfyre. Id like to be able to link our calendar to that one. Somehow be able to import or export the events to our calendar. Coordnation is such a huge task. When o when will MMOs figure out a great way of doing it IN game?

Is there an option for you to somehow protect the signups once they are on there? I know there is a password it asks you to provide when you register any way to impliment that so you have to know the pw to undo the signup?

I see three names that I cannot click undo. How did those become locked? Is there a way for someone to lock the others signed up? Of course I can see a problem with them being able to cancel themselves. Also, keep in mind this is an open forum and the actions may not have been by anyone we know directly.
