We should recruit in game: <DSYP> is recruiting all WoW players who are current users of FriendFeed and know who Steven Perez is. Pst.

I don't think I know who Steven Perez is....
- Jonas, Leper of FF
I think the requirement of knowing what DYSP means is needed.
- CW™
They must respond with, "Steven Perez is bunneh!"

It only takes 1 tard to screw up a PUG.

Sick day today - was taking care of Lindsay - she's feeling better.
- Internet's Tad
Uh huh. :P ;)
- Jonas, Leper of FF
He was (http://friendfeed.com/bluecoc...). I was still feeling bad this morning and there was stuff I was supposed to take care of that I can't because I'm contagious so he stayed home to help out.

For the pilgrimers...OrcForTad (orc rogue) is on her way to Org right now
Almost at Razor hill....*yawn*

THANK YOU, Jonas! You saved me hours of camping for that last rouge!

Not surprised.. they'd be foolish to release a huge patch two days before a Holiday when they won't have many employees around to monitor. I suspect Dec 1.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
from IM
I heard it's still a month away.
- Victor Ganata
Pretty sure it's next Tuesday.
- Miriella
It looks like they haven't finished testing all the bosses yet. They just released a new PTR build.
- Victor Ganata
I really hope it's not for a while yet, I'm too exhausted to be psyched up for new crap. Also, they would suck for adding new content in the middle of the holiday season. Who the hell has time to goof off? /cranky
- Miriella
My friend mentioned that the Hodir shoulder enchants would become BoA with 3.3. That's pretty much the only thing I'm waiting for. Having yet another 80 to go through all that rep stuff is aggravating. One less may not be much, but it's something. Oh, just read test patch notes, head enchants also going BoA. Two down.
- Arlan Koizumi
Sweet. The idea of having to grind rep on an alt gives me the heebie-jeebies.
- Victor Ganata
Hrm...one of these days I should get my DK to 80 rather than farming old world dungeons :)

Besides, I discovered that my toon really is quite HAWT when she's naked. :D

Plus you can skill up your unarmed combat :p
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
My unarmed is already maxed. :D I AM HUNTARD, HEAR ME ROAR (Fist weapons FTW!)
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I'd propose a raid on Hogger with naked level 1 gnome mages but that's probably too much to handle.
- Arlan Koizumi
I just discovered a sort-of Hogger equivalent for gnomes/dwarves last night: http://www.wowhead.com/... No quest to kill him, but you have to loot a box in his cave. Been playing almost since launch, had *no* idea that quest existed.
- Jonas, Leper of FF
I saw that vid of 40 level 1 gnomes taking on Hogger. They *barely* killed him. :D I hear there's a level 80 version of Hogger in ToC.
- Victor Ganata
I'm down for it.
- Christian (Simply X)
Heh, what would do more damage? A bare hand, or a fishing pole?

ooh how about Lances?

Is that sarcasm? I'm not a huge pop music scene type, but ...
- Andrew Badera
Do you listen to music while you play? If so, what do you typically listen to? Do you have a preference or is it just all shuffle, all day long? :D
Bill Kinney liked this
My music-while-playing time has been greatly reduced these days as I am usually on Vent chatting with guildies while I grind or run dungeons. But when I do listen to music, I tend to reach for things like Tool (good for dungeons), VAST (good for grinding), or a well-seeded Genius list (good for anything). And when I'm feeling particularly meta, I'll listen to one of the WoW soundtracks while playing... :D
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Usually. I used to make specific playlists for WoW, but now just listen to my usual playlists. This includes everything from Radiohead, Rilo Kiley, Regina Spektor, Death Cab, Pete Yorn, etc.. All the normal weird music I listen to. The first thing I do on a WoW install is mute the in-game music.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
from IM
I love the in-game music in certain areas. Tanaris being a notable exception. That zone music has always creeped me out.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I have a Pandora Channel called Stabity Radio I listen too while running dungeons with you guys.
- CW™
usually trance podcasts from above and beyond or gareth emery. i can grind out for hours to it.

Since completely deleting my digital music collection, I've accumulated 3,531 tracks which total 13.6 days of music taking up 36.67 GB of space. This is mostly from ripping a few hundred CDs plus plenty of iTunes purchases. I still have two more boxes of CDs to go.
Nurse Katie, Roberto Bonini, Penguin It's Cold Outside and 10 other people liked this
What bitrate are you ripping them at?
- Derek Coward
This project has been going on only for a few weeks, too. As I work, I just swap CDs out and let the Mac Pro rip, rip, rip, rip.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I'd be interested in a list of your catalog when you're done.
- Josh Haley
Derek, the built-in iTunes Plus setting: 128 kbps (mono)/256 kbps (stereo), 44.100 kHz, VBR, optimized for MMX/SSE2.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Josh, I wonder if it's possible to export one.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Yep, looks like I can at least make a PDF.
- Akiva Moskovitz
^_________^
- Josh Haley
iTunes will let you make a pdf of your library? That's cool...don't think I can do that in Zune...dunno about WMP.
- Jonas, Leper of FF
Well, other than a few stragglers, the Great Rip-Off is complete. It's taken a long time but that's because I'd go weeks without ripping anything. iTunes reports: 5,226 tracks which total 19.7 days of music taking up 56.90 GB of space. Somehow, I expected more although that's a pretty hefty collection of music.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I admire your hard graft, Young Akiva! I've been meaning to do something like that for...oh...years now.
- Spidra Webster
The next step is the more boring: taking the boxes of CDs, alphabetize them, and put them up on the CD shelf. Something tells me this job will get put off for a very, very long time.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Didn't you say Audrey is really really good and loves to take things and put them neatly onto shelves and into cupboards? Let her do it.
- Matthew DeVries
For sharing your Library's contents, LG did something really cool. http://louisgray.com/music/

Woah. How in the heck did he do that?!
- Akiva Moskovitz
I don't remember--I thought was super-cool at the time.

For $35? I think I'll just export an XML file and let people peruse that instead.

I'm actually joined to last.fm but I don't have the client installed anywhere. I don't really see the point in it, really.

Akiva, I was just clicking on the banner in the middle of the thing Louis had made, since it looks like that's how he did it.

Ended up transfering my 71 warlock...but his name got mangled...do I have to pay for the rename too?
it should ask you to rename when you try to enter world. I'd suggest trying to find a name you want by creating a level 1 toon (and deleting it before trying to rename... ) so that you don't accidentally get stuck with something you weren't too hot about. my horde lock was "Merlin" but I don't think it'd be available heh
- mjc
Done and done! Had to change my name tho :( But yay I have my own personal DE bitch :) He's a 71 warlock, enchanting/tailoring.
- Jonas, Leper of FF
Awesome - so now we know who to send stuff to to get disenchanted!!

What *is* your name? So I can toss a /ginvite. Edit: Noticed you already got one. :D
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I see a lot of references, here and elsewhere to etsy. My wife used to have a home-based business (which got dissolved in her divorce), and is thinking about selling some of her stuff through etsy. She makes things like bath salts, sugar scrubs, and other bath products, as well as some cooking things, like flavored salts.
Would there be much demand for things like that? I'd love some feedback from those of you here who have mentioned Etsy in the past...thanks!

Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it".

I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience.
- Micah Wittman
So I'm fairly balanced, it appears. I would imagine it's because I try to comment on every post I like. That's not always true, obviously. But mostly it is.

Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically.
- Micah Wittman
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better.

Thinking about writing up a post about how to make money on WoW (at least for Outlands and below before you start rolling in it in Northrend). Would anyone be interested? Mainly it would be tips on how to use Auctioneer to rake in the gold and a few other things like strategic fishing. You can do most of it in a half hour or less a day.
mjc, CW™, tinypants - Hagitha of FF and Jon, the Chilled Beartato liked this
Sure! I'm lazy about AH selling but really want my epic flying sometime soon (still about 2k short). I know Xian (Unruin) has been talking about tracking the AH sales and price changes to maximize his selling, I'm sure everyone could use some of your tips!
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
from IM
It is almost brainless the way I use Auctioneer... And I probably make between at least 50g-100g a day... if I were more aggressive I could make more, but 30 min a day on that stuff is enough.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
I would lone this info . /AOL Me too
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
I'd love it also...most I've ever had on a character is about 1k gold...and that's just by getting lucky with world drops and stuff.
- Jonas, Leper of FF
Please don't write this article. It will destroy our AH experience on Silvermoon if more people did what we do! Share your tips, etc in Guild Chat, but don't write an article.
- Internet's Tad
from fftogo
Too bad we couldn't have a dedicated person in the Guild that would do the auctions for us and take a percentage from the receiving funds as a payment. Maybe even the Guild would earn a nice small percentage for the service too.. hmmm... (Hmmm.. wonder who could do this????) :D
- CW™
This might help you guys, now that you mention it CW - in my guild, a lot of the members put in stuff into the guild bank that they think might be useful to other members. Every once in a while, the officers go through and take stuff out and put them on the AH to sell, and the money goes into the guild bank fund.
- Miriella
Miriella - how do you figure out who should get the guild bank funds after that? Is someone keeping track of who put stuff in and how much it went for on the AH so when they need money they can pull Xg out? Just curious.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
I think that'd be useful. I know my brother has struggled with that in the past, though he's on a WoW hiatus right now.
- Laura H.
Lindsay, I think Miriella, means that anything that is put in the Guild Bank is for everyone. No one person can really count that its theres. Once the item is in the bank then is Guild property until a fellow guildy needs it and then takes it. The project would be for the Guild Leaders (or designates) to Auction anything to "Clean up the Bank" and then any funds from those auctions would go back into the Bank for the Guild.
- CW™
Oh, sorry, Lindsay, we also set it up so that all of our members can repair using the guild bank every day. Right now it's set to just 10g per member (which is pretty much useless at level 80, I think I'll need to ask to change that), and increases as you go up in rank. And, if anyone *needs* anything, they are welcome to ask the GB for a loan.
- Miriella
@CW: Any one of the officers sell stuff in the GB, though for right now we've left everything in its place so that leveling guildies can have access to gear, recipes, mats, etc. I can certainly start throwing things into the AH for the guild. I don't need a cut. I have more gold than I know what to do with. As far as everyone having access to the GB for repairs, that will probably remain inactive until we get people running heroics and raids.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
before I quit playing I used to make 800-1200g/day on the AH :P let me know if you want tips, but the general practice is to pick markets and control the bottom: buy off the lowest priced ones, and when someone posts lower than you, buy theirs and resell it. I used to do this for enchanting and it resulted in tons of revenue.
- mjc
Yup: buy low, sell high... That's the way to make the moolah.

Create a DK or roll a new toon! If you like the server/guild enough maybe you'll feel the $15 is worth it. Most of us are just now getting to 80 and starting heroics, with others not far behind.

That seems insultingly low, regardless of region. Most non-entry level dev jobs start at 50k.
- Sparky
In that region, which has been practically destroyed economically, 40K might not be so bad

That's ok, I got a LinkedIn .Net hit for 40-45K the other day...ummm... did they even look at my profile (and seen how many years I've been doing this??)? No, recruiter, I don't know any other devs who would be willing to work for that either.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
kids straight out of school would, no?
- Chris Heath
i'd take 30-40! how hard is it to learn ruby on rails?
- edythe
@Chris, yes, that would probably be a good starting salary out of school (for a year or so just to get experience), but Tad and I are both a little bit beyond that stage! @edythe - Ruby on Rails has its quirks but it's not any harder to learn than any other programming languages/frameworks. If you have any experience programming you can probably pick it up if you want to.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
I live in Detroit, trust me you canNOT buy a mansion and servants for that amount of money. However, it is a seller's market in this area when it comes to jobs. They know that no one in their right mind would move here for a job. If you are already here and are considering that job, then you're trapped and they will give you anything they feel like. Yes, I want to move.
- Derek Coward
actually, after sleeping on it... 30k is way too low for a programming job... 35 maybe but 40 should be about the starting wage for programmers
- Chris Heath
Yeah, 30K is about twice current minimum wage... 40K isn't even 3 time minimum wage. I made about that much when I started my career while still in college about 14 years ago.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
I think my first programming job, back in 2001-2002 (where I met @Tad), I was making 35K...wasn't bad for someone self-taught with no college experience.
- Jonas, Leper of FF
Yeah, again, I think it's fine for someone to start out and get a year's experience or so... Once you've got that under your belt then it's time for a major raise! And it's just kind of insulting to offer that to someone who's been doing dev for more than a decade... The economy is still hurting but it's not THAT sour (at least for IT)...

- Mark Trapp
I'm trying to temper my playing a little because I want to balance it better with my schoolwork obligations. So I can schedule that around whatever we settle on as our run time (daily heroic YES PLZ). I get home from work at 4:30pst and am available up through midnight. :)

Nice. That place is great for doing a quick run but still getting some good drops. In fact, my current staff came from there (Heroic mode, though). At first I wasn't sure if I would care much for the "random boss" concept, but I think it keeps things fresh, and once you have encountered each boss at least once, you know what to expect, so it's just good clean fun. :D
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
It was my first time in there, and had no idea what to expect. I kept thinking a door was going to open and we'd have to run through some mindless cavern and get lost. I like that it's a random boss, that will make doing it repeatedly not so damn tedious. I'm halfway to 80, BTW. Heroics this weekend! :D

I wish that there was a menu option for Boot Camp that allows me to 'Reboot Into Windows' from OS X and 'Reboot Into OS X' from Windows. This holding-down-the-Option-key is for SUCKAFISH.

There is....if you installed the bootcamp control panel in windows, you'll have something in your notification area that lets you reboot to Mac...in the Mac side, go to the control panel (whatever it's called), and go to startup disk, that'll let you reboot into windows.

So there's really not a simple way, then.

Check under System Preferences>Startup Disc when in Mac OS X and Control Panel under Winblows.

- Chieze Okoye
It's the modern, 3D successor to Baldur's Gate without the D&D/Forgotten Realms baggage. I played through 2 and a half of the 6 intros, and they're each excellent. I haven't gotten much further than where each of them merges into the main storyline. The controls are pretty awkward, but not too surprising for a feature packed game squeezed onto a console.
- Internet's Tad
A few people at work have mentioned it. It's an RPG right? I've never really got into RPGs.
- Kol Tregaskes
I ordered it off steam last night. 15GB download :O
- Rodfather
Hmmm...real-time combat, or turn-based? (or the pseudo-realtime thing they did in KOTOR, which I'm fine with).
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I believe it's realtime but you can pause and queue up spells/abilities. At least real-time compared to Japanese RPG's.
- Rodfather
From what I read, in the console versions you are in the 3rd person perspective only and plays like KOTOR. You switch between team members with the triggers. In the PC version, you get both a 3rd person perspective and top-down view (like Baldur's Gate)
- Rodfather
OK, I might give it a looksee. I played the Warhammer: Dawn of War 2 demo the other day. really, really liked it.
- Kol Tregaskes
You can download the demo for the 360 to see if you'll like it. Actually maybe not.. at least someone told me there was a demo.
- Rodfather
Thanks, Rodfather, I might give it a rent. I like western RPGs (KOTOR, Oblivion, Fallout), but not Japanese ones that much, and I haven't played Baldur's Gate or Diablo or any of those PC ones to really know what they're like.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Dragon Age is VERY similar to KOTOR, Mass Effect, etc, just with a fantasy flair.
- Internet's Tad
Tad, SWEET! Sounds right up my alley. Can't wait for Mass Effect 2. Dragon Age wasn't even on my radar, so thanks for mentioning it.

I need bigger bags... do we have any tailors who can make 18+ slot bags? If so, can you post the recipes so I can get you some mats and make me some please??
CW™ liked this
No tailors? Hmm...
- Fa La La La Lindsay
I'm a tailor, I can make Frostweave bags that are 20 slotters. Let me find the recipe.
- Mark Trapp
Frostweave Bag (URL: http://www.wowhead.com/...): 6 Bolts of Imbued Frostweave and 2 Eternium Threads, OR 12 Bolts of Frostweave, 12 Infinite Dusts, and 2 Eternium Threads, OR 60 Frostweave Cloth, 12 Infinite Dusts, and 2 Eternium Threads.
- Mark Trapp
There's also the Imbued Netherweave Bag, which is 18 slots (URL: http://www.wowhead.com/...), 4 Bolts of Imbued Netherweave, 2 Netherweb Spider Silk, and 1 Greater Planar Essence, OR 12 Bolts of Netherweave, 8 Arcane Dust, 2 Netherweb Spider Silk, and 1 Greater Planar Essence OR 60 Netherweave, 8 Arcane Dust, 2 Netherweb Spider Silk and 1 Greater Planar Essence
- Mark Trapp
Materials for Frostweave are Northrend Only, Materials for Imbued Netherweave are Outland Only. Both recipes are leveling recipes (meaning we use them to level tailoring), so a lot of times they're sold at a loss on the AH, which means you might find it cheaper to just buy the bags on the AH than trying to get all the supplies together.
- Mark Trapp
For reference, Frostweave Bags go for 50-70g on the AH, and Imbued Netherweave Bags are about 10-30g.
- Mark Trapp
I'd offer to make Glacial Bags, which are 22 slotters, but that requires no less than 16 days of cooldowns, and I can't make them for the price they put on the AH (~900-1200g) because of that. Haris Pilton sells Gigantique bags (also 22 slots) in Shattrah Lower city for 1200g.
- Mark Trapp
Hmm... yeah, I'm not high enough to go to Northrend yet so gathering supplies would be difficult. I guess I will just have to work the AH some more and get funds...
- Fa La La La Lindsay
What has to cool down? Sounds pretty intense.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Glacial Bags require 4 Ebonweave and 4 Moonshroud, which are special tailoring cloths. Both have cooldowns of 4 days each (I can only make two Ebonweave and one Moonshroud every 4 days), and can only be made in a specific area in Northrend. Since the Ebonweave and Moonshroud are also used in other recipes, they're especially rare and valuable. TBC had similar cloths to make the Primal Mooncloth Bag (20 slots), but that's been made obsolete by the Frostweave Bag.
- Mark Trapp
It's 1 stack of netherweave to make a regular 16-slot NW bag, right? That plus the thread?
- Jonas, Leper of FF
Wahooo some wow talk! I got my Pali into full tanking form (http://bit.ly/Acxxk) over the weekend and he is in all epics now apart from two pieces. I may have asked this before what about timezone is silvermoon?

- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
Netherweave Bag is 4 Bolts of Netherweave and 1 Rune Thread, OR 20 Netherweave and 1 Rune Thread. But if you're only interested in 16 slot bags, might as well buy Traveler's Backpacks. They're likely cheaper than the materials for a Netherweave Bag, as they only have one purpose.
- Mark Trapp
Well, I'm getting netherweave on my DK and don't really have a use for it at the moment. (other than bandages, I suppose).
- Jonas, Leper of FF
Create bandages until Heavy Netherweave Bandage is grey, then sell the rest on the AH and use the proceeds to buy the cheaper bags. WoW's economy is such a fairy tale that DIY is rarely cost effective.
- Mark Trapp
That's the truth there.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Hrm, will have to check the AH then for those backpacks...time to level up a tailoring alt as well :)
- Jonas, Leper of FF
Of course, needing bags is less of an issue when 2(!) of these drop within 10 minutes: http://www.wowhead.com/...
