Finally Dinged 80! Other Updates Too.

I'm actually pretty late on posting this, but I hit level 80 on Aug 1st, 2009.



That same day I did my first Heroic and got my first (now non-existent) Emblem of Heroism.

Only one week later I was raiding Naxx.



Since 80, I have done so many heroics I was able to buy multiple iLvl 226 items including this really cool T8 Helm.

Total Achievements: 1680 pts.

Achievement: For The Horde (Failed)

Just as I logged in I must have gotten 3 whispers to join a group for For The Horde!. Seeing as I love achievements (and kind of hate the alliance), I had no choice but to accept.

We started out good. But things went bad quickly when we tried to kill King Magni Bronzebeard in Ironforge. After one failure at something like this you can forget about even tring it again. Half of your group drops, and half of the alliance are there ready to defend the city.

But there was a few successful acheivements for me:
Putting Out the Light
Immortal No More
Know Thy Enemy

And some failures:
For The Horde!
Storming Stormwind
Death to the King!

Yes, I am dead in all 3 screenshots. But c'mon! I'm only level 73!

Duo Ulduar's Dwarfageddon Achievement

This isn't related to my priest, but on my mage I was able to obtain the Dwarfageddon and Heroic: Dwarfageddon Achievements with a friend of mine.

After looking on youtube there is a video I found using the same method we used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJJlbU381aI. Be sure to check out some of the other videos on how to solo it if you can't find a friend to come help you out.

Achievement: Stratholme and Scholomance

Ran through both of these places for the achievements. 

Bonus from Scholomance: Piccolo of the Flaming Fire. Which is, in my opinion, one of the best trinkets in the game.

Achievement: Stratholme 10 pts.

Achievement: Scholomance 10 pts.

Total: 450 pts.

Ensidia got Yogg-Saron +0 Just Now

Looks like Ensidia is the 4th guild to get the amazing Realm First! Death's Demise. Check out the screenshot below for proof. Grats Ensidia, You guys rock!



Now for the little bit of drama surrounding this. 15 People gquit after the mount was awarded to Eoy according to this screenshot below. Grats Eoy on your awesome new mount.

I won Ensidia's Contest

I won a brand new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 video card by winning phase 2 of Ensidia's contest. I should be getting the card in the mail soon. So maybe I'll have some better screenshots soon, maybe (dare I say) even clean up my UI a little while I'm at it.

Phase 2 is over now. But that doesn't mean you still can't win one of these awesome video cards for yourself. Phase 3 has recently begun with a new theme: "Your Favorite Spot". There's only a few days left, so get crackin' on it now.

The theme for my Phase was "Epic Win" and below is the comic that earned me a new video card.



The priest in the comic is Yuricaine - The character this whole blog revolves around.
The death knight is Murricane - My bank alt.

Some useful links:
Phase 3 (current) Contest Rules - It also mentions me winning :)

Some information on the GTX 295 Video Card to Drool over

Good Luck!

Healed Auchenai Crypts for the first time.

Or this helm that is made of a bird:



Achievement: Auchenai Crypts 10 pts.
Total: 430 pts.
