Phaelia Turkey Day 2008!

Happy Turkey day, everyone! I’m especially thankful to all of the readers who contributed pictures of their Moonkin. The turnout was greater than I anticipated, especially given how generally healing-oriented Resto4Life is! Thank you! And now, without further ado, here are the 2008 Turkey Day submissions:

Adremma Adremma of Sentinels (US) sends in the first of many examples of the improved quest coding that allows Druids to complete most quests while retaining their shapeshifted form! Personally, when I complete this quest, I’m going to do so in Tree of Life so that it looks like a yeti carrying firewood! Then again, maybe that’s not such a good idea!
AedosAedos of Aggramar (EU) is seen here chilling out with her undead buddy, Frosty, after defeating a Frost Drake in Dragonblight. If Frosty seems a little heftier than normal, it’s because Aedos has been feeding him a diet of Papa Hummel’s Old Fashioned Pet Biscuits. The hope being that a vegetarian diet will prevent Frosty from instead developing a taste for Turkey!
Bellwether Not wanting BRK to have all the pet-related fun, Bellwether of 4 Haelz has managed to acquire her own pet, this one a Ravager. She aspires to even greater heights, though, admitting that what she really wants is a rhino! Just imagine the ground tremors from a Moonkin and a rhino!
Copey Copey of Dunemaul (US) fixes a non-traditional Turkey Day feast by serving himself alongside fresh seafood. Now who’s going to tell the butterball that he’s already golden brown?
Hana Flash of Moonfire author Hana of Skywall (US) takes to the sky in Harry’s Bomber, no doubt on a mission to exact revenge on those who mocked her stubby wings in grade school!
Hibiscus John Marikel
Hibiscus of Terokkar (US), soon-to-be mother of two baby Boomkin A mysterious contributor, John, sends this snapshot of his Boomkin traveling overland. Poor Mistsaber! Marikel of Scarlet Crusade (US) learns the hard way that
Moonkin can’t fly.
 
NurowynEnjoying her new-found firepower, Nurowyn of Kilrogg (US) struts her stuff out in the Grizzly Hills. The two native Imperial Eagles seem less than impressed by her lack of avian dignity.
PhaeliaHere my Warlock guildmate Miaja has lured me into a dangerous trap, intending to enjoy a delectable Turkey Day dinner at my expense! Who can really blame her, though? After all, in Moonkin Form, I’m bigger than Hansel and Gretel put together!
Riverwish1Despite the extreme cold of Northrend causing her feathers stick together, Riverwish looks poised to throw a Starfire (or maybe a snowball) at yet one more quest mob. Fortunately, she persevered through the wind and snow to level 80 and is now happily back in Tree of Life, snuggling by the fire in Dalaran inn (though hopefully not too close).
Teranin1 Teranin2 Teranin3
Set for 600 Degrees and
Roast for 9 hours
POOR TERANIN!
Teranin of Skywall (US)
is a Master of the Drumsticks!
Charging into battle aboard
an engineered tank, Teranin
gives whole new meaning to
the term “Panzerkin”!
 
Thorn Glyph of Thorns author Thorn sets out on a Paul Revere-esque ride across the frozen tundras of Northrend, likely yelling “THE PILGRIMS ARE COMING!” and fleeing certain demise.
RoselineA common theme this year appears to be a celebration of the ability to ride all manner of mounts — and, in some cases, quest mobs. Here Tauren Druid Roseline of Dreadmaul (US) is seen galloping across Dragonblight astride a Blood Elf Paladin’s mount of all things!
WiseFox1 WiseFox2 Muffinator
Wise Fox submits this picture of his cunning method of avoiding becoming a turkey dinner! After this, Wise Fox will NEVER AGAIN lose his raid slot to a Mage! From this gory shot of cannibalism, I think Muffinator thought this
was a Halloween contest!

    Not to nitpick, but was Hana’s picture (from Flash of Moonfire) supposed to link to the blog and not a bigger version of the picture? Ditto for Thorn. Otherwise lots of fun!

    Hahahaha… I love being a moonkin. This was a good bit of sillyness to enjoy before heading off to the folks’ for dinner. :)

    I love Adremma’s. I’m so going to do that once I get to Storm Peaks.

    Wow, I’m amazed that the representation is so slanted to Alliance. I thought it would be *ahem* balanced, or even Horde-dominated. Interesting. Still, boom it up, saplings! Boom it up! Good show.

    I’m glad everyone enjoyed the turkey day pictures! Maybe next year we’ll have even MORE elaborate turkey forms to share (or maybe Blizzard will realize it’s pretty much impossible to make an Owlbear not look ridiculous and trade the form out for something a little more dignified).

    @Aedos: Whoops! Corrected, thank you.

    @Awlbiste: No, that was unintentional. I’ve fixed those now. Thanks!

    @Graylo: I’m very disappointed in you! Nevermind that I respecced and took my own picture just minutes before the deadline (/gasp!). You’ll just have to make it up to me next Arbor Day by respeccing broccoli!

    @Nim: Now that you mention it, R4L is awfully close to the blue and gold of Alliance … hmmm!

The Sprout(ed) Seed (80)

David
Congratulations! Cute baby!

Tsuki
I’m so late that little Colin ain’t swimming on his mini-shirt anymore by now. And Mr. Phae and the classic “drooling daddy” face, priceless. Grats Phae and family!

Rayvis
First I want to say congratulations on your new baby boy, albeit a little late. As a Druid myself, formerly Resto even, I found this to be pretty awesome. I had my first child in October, also a boy. He just happens to have the exact same onesie that you’re little boy is wearing in the video. It’s my favorite outfit of his because I am my son’s superhero! As a side note, I hope you’re enjoying your new seed. They grow like weeds though and you start wondering...

Snowmaidn
I certainly never looked that good when I sprouted my seedlings. Thanks for all the great advice on this site. Things have changed a lot over the years and 60 was the highest you could go when I last played before this year. I got back into the game again about 6 months ago after taking a 4 year break when I was pregnant with my daughter.

Wow, a wife interested in MMO’s and Marvel?! Mr. Phae is one fortunate man. Regards

@Terrorpaw: This information is vastly outdated. Notice that the article indicates patch 3.0.8 while the current version is 3.3. The amount of haste needed for resto druids to reach 1 second GCD has been shuffled considerably. I’ve been poking around on this site and I find it likely that much of the information here might be outdated.

Terrorpaw
Not to distract from your information, but this is confuddling to me. Everyone on the druid forums just touts that with CF and GOTEM you should see 735 haste on your character sheet? Are they just dead wrong?

Ck
This is actually really useful – thanks for this! Is it still current and user friendly? I somehow managed to get up to 740 Haste without trying, and even with scrapping all haste enchants and gems – I am still languishing on 723 :(

Over a year and a half later this post is still worth it’s weight in gold! Hope you and your family are all well Phae. :) *hugs* .-= Softi´s last blog ..Dum di dum di dum =-.

I’ve been using this addon since I started playing some over a year now. I can’t imagine wow without it since. To swap bags you can right click the one you wish to free up and select ‘filter’. Then drag all the stuff into another bag. Also you could just swap a bag from inventory to your bank still full of stuff.
