Hidden Warcraft

Last week, I wrote a very well-received article on Ragefire Chasm. Of course, I cheat a little insofar as I do these instance rns myself, and not with a party. The principal reason to do that, besides the fact, that like the proverbial dog, I can, is that it makes it much easier to count […]

A little while back I ran Shadowfang Keep with Mandorall — see previous article — and I received a Blue Bind-on-Equip item, which as you well know are rare enough.
The item in questions were the [Mindthrust Bracers] and if you’ll recall, I expressed doubt as to their value, since they have a -5 Stamina debuff. […]

You see, my very first character in World of Warcraft, Mandorall, is a Paladin, and the 20th Level Quest Paladin Quest The Test of Righteousness takes you to Shadowfang Keep.

You’ve been following Mandorall’s excellent advice to make some quick Wow gold, when you noticed in your Quest Log that it says “2/10 daily quests.” Surely, you tell yourself, that must mean there are other of these so-called daily quests out there, and I could make even more easy […]
