Rivendare’s Deathcharger!!

I got it!  I got it!  {dances enthusiastically but looks more like a spastic monkey on crack}  I got the coveted Rivendare’s Deathcharger!  I’ve been running the Stratholme (Service Entrance) dungeon, almost every day, for a couple of months on 4 different characters.  Beating up that miserable bastard Lord Aurius Rivendare.  Today, my Lucky-Lock Kyllia dropped the incredibly hard to obtain mount!

Deathcharger's Reins

Just to give you an idea, here’s some of the info quoted by another player…

~ by Tyrsenus on WoWhead

Deathcharger is a black (as per its model skin description) skeletal warhorse mount, notorious for its incredibly low drop rate – perhaps the lowest drop rate of any epic item.

 

For one run of a given instance, the odds are higher that…

  • Swift White Hawkstrider drops (61x more likely)
  • Ashes of Al’ar drops (40x more likely)
  • Swift Razzashi Raptor drops (28x more likely)
  • Reins of the Raven Lord drops (23x more likely)
  • Fiery Warhorse’s Reins drops (18x more likely)
  • Swift Zulian Tiger drops (10x more likely)
  • Baron’s Runeblade drops (3x more likely)
  • You are audited by the IRS
  • You will catch a baseball at a MLB game
  • You die from slipping in a bathtub
  • You have a life

If you’re in a group, divide the chance by five :)

The drop rate is now 1.0% (up from 0.02%) (source).

Although, I think the hardest mount to get these days is the Reins of the Time-Lost Proto-Drake.  This is mostly due to cross server playing now.  There’s generally 5 – 7 players hunting that 24 hours a day.  I’m glad I managed to get that, not only once, but twice before the changes.

Mountain o’ Mounts

Yes, even packing boxes and getting ready for the upcoming move in two weeks, I still manage to have down time to collect things in Warcraft.  My latest additions pushes me over 100 mounts in game and got me the sweet Blue Dragonhawk.  All by finishing off some rep I never bothered with during Kittyclysm, er um Cataclysm.  A whole 2 quests and I got the Brown Riding Camel and Tan Riding Camel from Ramkahen.

Mountain o' Mounts

Grand total of mounts now is 102!

Mount Me Baby!

That is not an invite for a Taxidermist to come and stuff me.  I’m referring to my part time addiction, playing World of Warcraft and collecting mounts, pets and achievements.  I’m just kicking ass and taking na… er mounts!  I got the Swift White Hawkstrider from the Magisters’ Terrace yesterday, courtesy of my Gnome Mage.  Today I managed to snag the Reins of Blue Proto-Drake from Utgarde Pinnacle using my Boomkin again.  Sadly, only the Hawkstrider comes with an achievement.  Hell, the day before that I snagged the Phoenix Hatchling from Magisters’ Terrace as well!

Now to decide what to hunt next….

Mechano! Mechano! Mechano Hog Ho!

The one and only reason I made my Mage an Engineer, was solely to be able to make a Mechano Hog!  (or Mekgineer’s Chopper had I stayed on the Alliance side)  I can imagine that’s probably the exact same reason 90% of other Engineers have chosen their profession.

At long, long last…  Finally after grinding the rep, farming the materials to make the gold and buy the parts needed (as well as farm them too), all the endless hours, I can finally say that I’ve attained Get to the Choppa!

Now to get started all over again to make one for my Druid, one for my Warlock and one to start selling them.  {takes a deep breath}  Here I go again!

Brewfest is Da Bomb!

This is my favorite event in World of Warcraft.  Brewfest!  I’ve always warned people that I play with, that I’m a major Achievement Whore.  This certainly proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt.  While I’ve never been a real life drinker (makes you wonder how I’m related to anyone in my family), this is the most fun world even they have going.  At least in my opinion.  I just finished Brewfest on the UK servers just before I changed servers to play in America.  So I got to start again this year.

Both my main characters, Theodas and Kyllia are fully achieved as of today!  Including “Disturbing the Peace“.  Managed to also get both Brewfest Mounts (Great Brewfest Kodo & Swift Brewfest Ram) on Theodas and just the Ram on Kyllia.  Not too bad :)   Theo even got the Tremendous Tankard O’ Terror as well, though he’s a caster, not a melee class bloke.  Think I’ll hang on to it.  Not sure if I’ll give it to a guildie later on or chuck it in the Auction House in a couple of months to see if it brings me in a decent bag of coins.

And as if that wasn’t a good stroke of luck, Theo also got both the Mithril Stopwatch and the Petrified Pickled Egg trinkets (since he is Balance/Resto).  And Kyllia got the Mithril Stopwatch as well.  Not too shabby ;)   I only managed to get a few of the achievements done on my other character, Theodes as he is my lowbie.

Speaking of my lowbies and my recent betrayal to the Alliance…  I’ve thrown together a new guild called Suspicion of Mischief.  Not sure where it will go as I’m a casual playing achievement whore, but as far as I know, it’s the only one with that name thus far.  If you don’t get the reference, don’t apply ;)

Also, I’ve never been one to play melee class and not so big on PVP (Player vs Player) action.  But I got talked into making a Death Knight of all things, and I’ve come to learn that Death Knights in PVP are a blast!  I started him as a Goblin Death Knight, and I think I did better with him than I am with the Undead version of him, but I’m not feeling like starting a 3rd time.  So Undead Death Knight it is.  Still kicking ass.  Though I’m iffy between the Unholy and Frost builds.  Blood at least I could take a bit of a beating, but sucked at attacks.  As soon as I can get my honor gear I can really start pounding some player booty into the ground :twisted:

It’s working!!

Turns out my walking is paying off after all!  I was beginning to doubt it as I don’t look any different, and honestly I actually feel “fatter” than before.  The walking was beginning to feel like a waste of time, though it gave me time to just think to myself.

I had to visit the doctor today, for an unrelated reason unfortunately….  But when I got on the scale it showed that I have indeed lost 10 pounds since I started walking in April.

I don’t actually own a scale at home as it tends to never get used anyways.  Besides, I don’t find the home versions to be all that accurate.  I like the doctor’s office scales much better.  And doing it this way, at least gives me one reason to look forward to going to the doctor.  Since normally it’s never for a good reason I go.  Such as today.  Don’t worry I’ll be better in a few days.

WoW and Travel Updates III

Yeah I’ve been slacking on the updates lately.  Life has been pretty out of control for me.

As far as game achievements and travel methods go, Kyllia got her own Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth.  It took a couple of months of heavy farming but managed it finally.  I’m both excited and exhausted over the whole ordeal.

I’ve also made 3 other characters to play and have been having a good time with them.  Angeliss is a Dwarf Resto Shaman (she kicks ass at healing!), Hythlodaeus my portal creating Gnome Frost Mage (who is also a handy little engineer!) and Profion my nut-job Dwarf Hunter (Huntard).  Not sure why I play the hunter, but still he’s sort of fun to play anyway :)   They are all just about level 50 and I’m taking my sweet time with them so they can get all the rep and stuff they need that I missed with Kyllia and Theodas when I rushed them to 80 and 85 respectively.  All chars are currently locked at their current levels so I can work on them.  This way I have years of fun ahead of me rather than running back playing catch-up all the time.

As for the CastleRain Guild, I gave up.  We managed to make level 10 through all of our ups and downs but I can’t lead a guild in WoW, it’s not like other games at all.  I’m more of a player than a leader.  Though it is my guild so I’m not terribly sure if I want to give it way (after they allow guild renaming) or if I want to keep it and move it to the new server I’m on.  For the time being I’m trying to be nice and let the few members left move on at their own will, but eventually I’m going to have to punt the rest as I will not turn it over or anything while it still bears the CastleRain name.

Speaking of… I got real sick of playing on Dentarg and am moving my characters to the Duskwood server.  The feel there is completely different than the Dentarg teenage paradise I’ve had to put up with.  Sadly, this will take a total of 5 months as I can only afford to move 1 character at a time.  Now to find a new guild on my new server that is Mature (adult), Casual (weekend raids only) and fun!

My WoW Travel Updates II

This update is between two weeks and a bit over a month late.  Things in life get to where you just don’t feel like talking about it, I’ll post more on that as the story becomes more developed.  Right now, I’ll get you set with the travel updates.

Theodas achieved the Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth about five weeks ago.  That’s the Pimp Daddy Ride I’ve been wanting.  That’s the one I mentioned before that has 2 Vendors and can carry a total of 3 players characters (including Theo that is).

Shortly after that though I got all wound up in playing my other character Kyllia.  She’s locked at level 80 to get rep and such in Lich King territory and below.  During which, she managed to achieve getting 52 Mounts in total.  At 50, she gained number 51 as an award.  The Albino Drake.  As well as I’ve been working for her to get her own Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth.

During which time, as a side note or two, the guild has fluctuated a few times.  Seems just when we get to the point where we can start raiding, the high levels leave because they either can’t wait for, or don’t wish to lead us into raids.  Which sadly leaves us as a leveling guild for now.  Thus, I have taken interest in other classes to play, so now I also have a Hunter Dwarf named Profion.  A Dwarf Resto Shaman named Angeliss.  And a Gnome Mage named Hythlodaeus.  Since I am in no rush to get to end game, this should give me years of achievement whoring on many characters :)
