Featured: Andrige’s Shapeshift Skins

Tired of the shapeshifting into the same low-quality forms that have been in the game since day 1? Andrige has created a beautiful selection of modified form skins to make your life as a Druid a lot more enjoyable.

Phaelia A Perfectly Piscine Present

Like Keredria, I’m among the fortunate minority of players who enjoys the Fishing tradeskill. I find it to be not only relaxing but lucrative. An hour’s worth of dedication can provide enough piscine consumables to cover a week’s worth of raiding, often with enough to share with needful guildmates. I primarily fish the Sporefish and Steampump Debris pools of Serpent Lake in Zangarmarsh, gathering a stack or two of Sporefish to bake up into Blackened Sporefish (which, according to previous calculations, are twice as valuable to me as Golden Fish Sticks).

Today is my birthday, and knowing my love for Fishing, my friend Valenna camped E-Bay for two weeks to get me the following:

Fishing Chair
Binds when picked up
Use: Right Click to set up a comfy fishing chair.

This item is acquired by redeeming a code from a special card sometimes included in decks of the “Through the Dark Portal” expansion to the World of Warcraft TCG. As you might imagine, it’s a pretty rare item, and I’m the first I’ve seen on Scarlet Crusade to have one. A few things I’ve discovered in my brief time using it:

  • Its duration is limited to three minutes. Unfortunately, if you’re in the middle of a cast when it poofs, you’ll lose your line.
  • No one else can sit in your chair.
  • If you set up your chair too far into the water, you may not be able to sit in it, even if you were able to stand in that spot.
  • The chair can be used anywhere that’s considered “outdoors.”

I really love my chair. It’s going to make fishing that much more interesting and enjoyable. Along those same lines, wouldn’t it be great if Druids in Cat Form could catch fish by swimming through pools and activating an ability? The necessary dynamics are already in the game and first seen in the Red Snapper – Very Tasty! quest in the Draenei starting area. I really enjoyed that quest on my Draenei, and it seems a shame not to reuse the work that went into coding it.

Search E-Bay for a Fishing Chair of your own!

    Curious – how do you get the shots of two different models? Like the cat swimming with the fish — do you do two separate wow model viewer shots, delete the background, and put them together after, or is there a way to load multiple models?

    Happy Birthday! Hope it’s a good one.

    Thanks for all the birthday wishes. We had a Heroes-premier party with ice cream and cake which was a lot of fun.

    @Ego: Yes, I take two different pictures using the model viewer then remove the backgrounds. Sometimes I get a little CRAZY and do some cloning. I am teh master of copy and paste! copy and paste! copy and paste! copy and paste! copy and paste! :-)

    Grats on the birthday ding!

    However, the jealous fisherman in me requires that I be a little bit upset that you have a fishing chair and I don’t :(

    Congratulations on the fishing chair! My kid ebayed a picnic basket for my birthday in May… and (the rest of) my family and friends think it’s a little weird how I gush over it as the best present evah!

    Happy Birthday! What a great friend you have. :) I too enjoy fishing and am rarely able to convince many of my other WoW friends that standing in one place and clicking can be relaxing… but it is!

    Enjoy your chair. :)

The Sprout(ed) Seed (87)

15 short years till he wants to borrow the car! Cheers!

As much as I loved writing Resto4Life and am enjoying playing again (even if in a very limited capacity), I don’t have the time to devote to blogging anymore. Instead, I’ve been learning2play from Keeva at TreeBarkJacket.com and Lissanna at Restokin.com. :-) I am excited that BRK is back, though!

tkc
Soooo, with BRK back in action, I’m wondering if Phae will get recruited too.

CONGRATS on such a cute little one! <3 Jezi .-= Jezi´s last blog ..VIGIL =-.
The Belkin Nostromo N52 TE (73)

Marc
Hi, Too bad this blog is no longer maimtained. Thanks for you post though. I wanted to address the issue of lefties. I am on, and use the N52TE. I use a trackball with my right hand and the n52TE with my left, no problems.

I didn’t read the pages upon pages of comments so I don’t know if these issues have already been hit, but I can think of two things as a boomkin/tank druid that have helped immensely with my nostromo. First off, turn off the diagonals on the D-pad. Wow kindof accounts for these innately by combining vert/horizontal key presses. Having the nostromo keyed to do this is redundant and screws up movement. The second is key spam macro’s. I have my nostromo 6 buttom set to...

Sweet thanks for sharing! And i thought I was the only one disappointed in WoW’s art and character customization! Let’s hope Cataclysm has more in the works of real visual art like this instead of middle school quality graphic farts!
Direct Healing in Wrath (103)

Phaelia
@Otta: This article is out of date and no longer relevant. I understand Nourish is now the preferred choice over Regrowth, though you should keep a RG on your tank for its HoT component. As the methods for finding this information are explained, someone should be able to apply them along with the new values to create an updated comparison. I, however, am not that person. :-)

Otta
Ok, just found this post, and it’s long and interesting, quick dumb question tho, the numbers for nourish with hots, is that the healing both by the nourish alone or also the hots that are running? I used to use regrowth and now use nourish, debate is whether to switch back. I also am specced into tranquil spirit – am guessing thats weird comapred to this info!
