Batinna's Dress Up Transmog Challenge!

I know, I know! I'm a little late to the party, well very late.. but better late than never right?

I saw on a few of my favourite blogs that they were taking part in a transmog challenge set up by Batinna. Firstly *yay* a new blog to add to my roll, but secondly what a fantastic list of transmog ideas shes put together! I can't wait to get stuck into these, but I will stick to the order and start with....

Poor: Having little money and/or few possessions

What a sad wolf she is! Not in her lovely matching plate anymore :< I actually ended up going for cloth items, since the leather, mail and plate choices were quite brightly coloured compared, and I wanted something which was plain and also with a worn look to it.

I set myself a budget for this outfit for a maximum of 30g, and managed to come in at 26g and 45s. It only consists of two pieces, couldn't believe some of the prices of the items, but I guess the rise of transmog is to be thanked for this.

The items I used are:

Disciple's Vest of Intellect
Spellbinder Pants

The next dress up challenge is Pirate, will have LOTS of fun with this :D

Mine Mine!

Moon Moon is Mine Mine!

When the Darkmoon Faire was in town last week, I really wasn't able to get online alot, but when I could, I managed to kill Moonfang a fair few times in the hope that she would drop Moon Moon. After no luck, I was only able to grab the pelt quest item and the wolf mask item.

In the end, I gave in and immediately went to my auction house to find one up for 6k, which is pretty cheap from what I've seen on other servers. I was sad that I couldn't get my very own to drop, but I am now the proud owner of Moon Moon and I don't have to worry about having to get online to try and get it anymore.

 

I even managed to capture Moon Moon's sparkly jump animation, very cute indeed!

The Celestial Tournament: 1 down, 3 to go!

It's official, I finally completed the Celestial Tournament.. kinda late but never mind!

I've been struggling A LOT on this, due to alot of bad luck with missing attacks but also realising that I have a lot of certain pet families levelled, but not so much in Mechanical and Magic, which were of course the ones I needed to help me defeat all the opponents.

 

I took a week to just grind pet dailies and speed level pets that I thought would be useful in completing my goal. I have discovered so many useful moves from pets I would never have gone to use, for example, the Crimson Geode pet has an amazing variety of skills from 3 different families, including a move to increase damage to the current pet by 50% for 2 rounds, perfect for boosting another pet after that one has perished. Ended up using it in my line up against Chi-Chi, alongside my oily slime, Slick and my Soul Trader, Montgomery.

Once I completed the Celestial Tournament, I went to hand in my quest for my Celestial Token. After handing that in, I immediately get a quest to get 2 more tokens to be able to get a pet straight away! I had no idea this happened, was a very unexpected and lovely surprise!

I picked Chi-Chi first, for his unique looks, and will probably go for Zao next. All 4 are very cute, looking forward to owning all of then very soon :)

Hearthstone: My initial thoughts!

My last post highlighted that I was lucky enough to receive a Hearthstone beta invitation and since then have played a couple of times and I really enjoy it!

When it first started up, I loved the animation of the deck box and was frantically clicking to start the game. I was extremely sad to hear the news when it was announced that the TCG game was coming to an end, not that I collected them, but because I loved the artwork on each card, and thankfully I now have a resource where I can appreciate it again!

Gameplay wise its pretty easy really, mainly because theres hints and tips floating around everywhere! However, each game is different, as cards come out at different times, its not guaranteed that on the third turn you will get card A, so I like the mix up of things your able to do on the spot.

I wasn't totally happy on the Dwarf voiceover between matches, it felt a bit too cartoony, so I'm hoping I do get over that aspect. I do love the battle talk between characters when your playing though, Jaina is one fierce lady! She was having none of it, especially when Hemet Nessingwary called her pretty!

I have only just managed to defeat Illidan, and practice mode has been opened up to me to defeat other classes and gain some exp. So will hopefully make some more progress on it soon. So far though, its a big thumbs up from me! :D

Hearthstone Invite!

Well, here's me sitting worrying that I haven't had any decent news to blog about for a good while.. until I receive a Hearthstone Beta invitiation email! Wahoo! I've heard only good things about it, so was hoping I would get an invite, but never thought I actually would.

Also been trying to think of a post I can use the following screenies in, so I think Blizzard must have read my mind and realised I NEEDED a code. Not sure how long these NPCs have been in the game, but only noticed them yesterday whilst running around in Shrine. 

Just installing now, so will post my findings very soon!
