Level-Up Dungeons too Easy?

Level-Up Dungeons too Easy?

I don’t mind going into a dungeon and knowing that it’s going to be a fun and easy experience that will take maybe at most 45 minutes. The break in overworld questing is always nice because it throws something new into the mix. You can stop worrying about tagging mobs or waiting for respawns or [...]

Breadcrumb Quests and Respawn Rates in Wrath of the Lich King

Are you lost as to where to go next? Are you like me that’s finished the 150 Borean Tundra Quests and the 105 Howling Fjord?

Profession Trainers in Northrend...

Profession Trainers in Northrend…

So how many times exactly have you had to answer this question over general chat in the Borean Tundra or Howling Fjord? Seriously. I mean I had to tell a guy the other night where the mailbox was because he couldn’t muster the effort to find it himself.
What is it about new content that makes [...]

A Moment in Time: Coldarra

A Moment in Time: Coldarra

I snatched this one up from my own gallery that I’m bit by bit uploading tp the Spooncraft Gallery located on Flickr or on the sidebar of this site.
Of all the places in Northrend that really made my jaw drop and a chill run down my spine in pure elation and excitement, the first of [...]

The Daily Spoon: Happy Tuesday! Patch 3.0.2 and other news

Ahhhh it’s good to be back! Sleeping in my own bed was severely taken for granted. So today is a pretty hefty meal of news and updates for you all to feast upon. But first I have some answers to get to.

The Coldarra Experience by Csulok

This entire article comes courtesy of World of Raids. I really love their site and have been a follower of Teza for a very VERY long time. The writeup was so perfect that I cannot best it in my own words. Frankly I feel as if the writer was speaking from my mind (in seeing [...]

Jayde says it best, I seem to get the “Dear in the headlights” look 90% of the time I run into an alliance. Which is how I imagine a lot of players are going to react when they run into a Death Knight in live. Here is a video of some pretty straightforward steamrolling.

Basically us players will have the option to first enter Northrend and begin leveling in either the Borean Tundra or the Howling Fjord. Both [...]
