Living seed – fixed in 3.0.3
Oct 31st
Cheroba on the beta server Lich King asked: ..if my target is brought up to full health before the next hit after living seed is placed on a target…they get zero healing, wastes the seed, and then take damage. How is that effective? Earth shield was awesome in that it provided an extra buffer…I thought

Finally – 8/8
Oct 30th
FINALLY. Finally, after wearing the same boots from Hyjal since January, Felmyst finally gave me her booties. I usually only care about loot that will help my raid team get further – it’s very rare for me to covet gear for the looks, prestige, etc. Sure, we all like having shiny purples and having people
Bad tree. Bad.
Oct 30th
I have a confession.Fact: Trash healing in Sunwell with the mob nerfs and player buffs is now ridiculously easy. Read: dull. Fact: I use Grid + mouseover macros for point-and-shoot healing. It means I can switch targets fast without.. well, switching targets. My mouse can zip over my Grid frames and heal really fast, pew
Rats and fish
Oct 28th
I came home from work today and found that one of my pet rats, Titch, had died suddenly. She was the youngest of my rats and showed no signs of being ill so it was a big shock and very upsetting. She was such a cheeky little sweetheart and I will miss her very much.
Guide: 100 cooking recipes
Oct 25th
Today I spent some time finishing off my Sous Chef achievement (learn 100 cooking recipes). I had no idea there were so many Alliance BOE recipes to grab – and most of them from one vendor in Stormwind! I sent my little NE warrior off to collect them for me while I made a list

Time to farm those hourly trick or treats – Helms and Squashlings now come from treat bags and fire-fighting jack-o-lantern rewards as well!It has been confirmed by Blizzard that this is an intended change. I might get my Squashling after all! Why oh why didn’t I trick or treat before I left for work… *fidgets
Getting the hang of Wild Growth
Oct 22nd
I’m definitely getting the hang of using Wild Growth in my rotations. Here’s tonight’s Felmyst: I was 4th on Twins, but spent most of my time spamming on the warlock, so my rotation wasn’t so great in terms of weaving in WGs. I did it when I could, but sometimes it was difficult. Nature’s Splendor
Swift Flight Form trainable at level 71
Oct 22nd
From the 3.03 patch notes: The Swift Flight Form is now available on the trainer at level 71, requiring 300 riding skill, and Flight Form learned. Translation: druids will no longer need to do the quest chain and Heroic Sethekk Halls to get their Swift Flight Form. You will, of course, still need to pay
My name is Emma and I live in Australia. I’ve been gaming on and off since I was about 11. I won’t tell you exactly how long ago that was, let’s just say long enough.
