I don’t know exactly when it happened, but at some point I noticed everyone was walking around with a pair of flaming wings sticking out of their back. I wrote it off as a Halloween thing. Turns out it was more like a Darkmoon Faire thing – a vanity tramp stamp reward for the Brood of Alysrazor achievement. To pull it off, you have to fly through fifty burning rings and you earn your flaming wings.

I usually do the opposite - I eat 50 flaming wings and get one burning ring.

There are maps that show the best route to snag your fifty rings. But as Bajheera shows in his video, patience and persistence will also get your the new hot toy.

Hot toy… get it? Because it ends up in your Toy Box, and it’s a set of Blazing Wings. Damn I’m clever.

Sorry for not posting on Friday. Had a medical issue that I’m recovering from, and I’m pretty laid out. Off my feet, no heavy lifting, pretty much just a lump on a log right now. Gonna be about a week until I can walk around, and longer before I’m back at the gym. Luckily I can still be productive in-game. After getting the farms and crafting sorted out for selling, I took some time to knock out some achievements. I managed two big scores:

Poor quality, but I can fix that. I’ve got the time to make it happen.
