Death Knight Transmog

Okay, I know you came here for the sweet sweet eye candy, but I have something else to talk about first.

Calm down, the pics are coming.

MMO Champion posted a question that was asked of the Blizz Developers regarding the limit of only one Death Knight per server:

Any idea when we might see this lifted? I’ve seen on MMO-Champ a few times where it’s been stated this limitation is outdated and no longer needed. It was also said that they likely will remove it, I’m just wondering if there is any sort of time frame for this planned at all?

I’d really enjoy rolling another Death Knight on my home server, on the Horde side, just for the benefit of heirloom gear and to experience the horde storylines and what not, hence the inquiry.

This is a valid question.  The fact that we’re two expansions removed from the introduction of DK’s, and with a higher level cap, should offset the boo hooing that usually comes with mentioning DK’s at all.  “But they get to start off at level 55!  They leave their starter zone with blue gear!  I have far too much sand in my vagina!”  You know, the usual complaints from Death Knight haters.

The Blue Post reply was, well…

Honestly, there’s no update I can provide on when this will be lifted, but we’re aware of the feedback. It may be a possibility for the future though.

Same shit different day.

And now what you have been waiting for – SWEET DK TRANSMOG SETS OMG!!1!

Here’s what Herculano was wearing before:

Kinda looks like a post-apocalyptic hockey player, or Casey Jones from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (sans trusty baseball bat of course).

Now here’s the look he rocks currently –

I’m not a big fan of the dress kilt, but it’s tough to find pants that go with this outfit.

Here’s my question to all both of my readers:  Which one do you prefer?  Before?  After?  Neither?

Leave me a comment below!  TGIF!

Isle of Thunder – Patch 5.2

I’m a little slow.  There I said it.

Patch 5.2 has been out for, well, a little while now but I’ve been busy doing mostly non-Patch5.2 stuff.  Specifically I have been leveling Jewelcrafting on Herculano the DK.  Seemed like the thing to do, since I was Exalted with the Cloud Serpent people which gave me access to the cool JC Panther mounts.

Like Power Rangers, but without the stupid boss fights.

Like Power Rangers, but without the stupid giant bosses in ugly suits.

 

Leveling Jewelcrafting on a low pop server sucks so much ass.  You can’t find low level mats, not even ore to prospect.  And when you don’t have a miner to help with the process, well you just want to find a way to kick yourself in the balls and do it repeatedly, knowing it would be more fun than profession leveling.  But perseverance (and server transferring a character with Mining) paid off, and Herc hit 600 JC.

Success!

So what’s with the Isle of Thunder that I’ve heard so much about…

I think I got the original quest at some point, the one that prompts you to go to the Isle of Thunder.  But something got bugged somewhere, and the quest didn’t show up in my Quest log.  Therefore I had no idea how to find the Isle of Thunder.  As luck would have it, I found a Youtube video that showed me the way.  Here it is, for those of you like me who are just a little behind.  So watch, learn, and I’ll be back with some Death Knight updates soon!
