My Week in WoW Episode 1.

Notes to go with my audio submission for Ctrl Alt WoW Episode 246.

Did a race change from Orc to Goblin.

Saulius was always meant to be a Goblin the only reason I chose an Orc was because I wasn’t willing to buy all the expansions at once when I started playing on the US realms.

I think the Goblin racials (listed below) are probably the best in the game, they are all useful to me, particularly 'Better Living through Chemistry' because I always planned to level Alchemy (and engineering) on Saulius, and 'Time is Money' for faster attack and casting speed.

List of goblin racials;

• Rocket Jump (2 min cooldown, shared with Rocket Barrage) - Activates your rocket belt to jump forward. This ability is on the global cooldown.
• Rocket Barrage (2 min cooldown, shared with Rocket Jump) - Launches your belt rockets at an enemy, dealing X-Y fire damage (24-30 at level 1; 1654-2020 at level 80). This ability is on the global cooldown.
• Time is Money (passive) - Cash in on a 1% increase to attack and casting speed.
• Best Deals Anywhere (passive) - Always receive the best discount regardless of faction standing.
• Pack Hobgoblin (30 min cooldown) - Calls in your personal servant, allowing you bank access for 1 min.
• Better Living through Chemistry (passive) - Alchemy skill increased by 15.

Reached level 75 on Saulius.

Did most of my levelling using the dungeon finder, healing random dungeons. I was getting 12 justice points per run at first but there is a weekly cap so after the first 7 you get gold instead. This was a surprise because I didn’t think the weekly caps kicked in till max level.

I did 32 out of 105 of the quests required for the 'I've toured the Fjord' questing achievement so it looks like I may level from 70 to 80 mainly in random dungeons and only quest in one zone, much like I did levelling from 60 to 70.

Levelled archaeology to 70 on Saulius.

Tried archaeology for the first time, Thought it was fun! I completed 5 common artifacts and one rare. The rare artifact was called 'Druid and Priest Statue Set' which has an on use effect which is like a cross between a moonbeam and a druidic aura. The effect is purely visual.

While I was levelling archaeology we got the 'Making History' guild achievement.

Created a Blood Elf Death Knight called Alysius.

I plan to use this character to create a personal guild bank, also to level the Tailoring and Enchanting professions.

Get well soon Eljeppy! 

Shamus

On episode 241 of the Ctrl Alt WoW Podcast Vrishna mentioned he was interested in getting a copy of an old Commodore 64 game called Shamus, he also mentioned that He had tried a couple of emulators in the past. I thought I would help him out!

This video shows my recently re-installed desktop, I boot up an emulator called Vice, Then I set up joystick controls and load  Shamus from a .TAP file.

The end of the video then shows me playing Shamus, I don't do to well!
