It’s All About The Purples

I guess I picked this Judgement armor because it looked like a super hero costume.  Like Spider-Man with knives on his shoulders.  But whatever, it’s Outland Heroic dungeons which means lockout, which means it takes some time to assemble the gear.

I have most of the visible stuff (if I get the legs/dress it will cover the feet, and the gauntlets cover the bracers) which has me pretty stoked.  Even though I admired the look in only his half-Judgement gear, it wasn’t until I transmogged his new swords that I notice how he’s rocking the color purple more than Oprah did –

Which works great for me since I like the color purple.  But then I swapped out the scorpion mount –

… and made a slight adjustment with his flying mount –

and what you end up with is what all the cool orcs are going to be wearing this year.

Edit:  Saturday, January 7 2012 I knocked another piece off the list:

Herc makes this look good.

The Sudden Brewmaster

Brewmaster Achievement Title

It was easier than I thought.

One of the great things about the Brewmaster Achievement Title is that it’s not as difficult to get as many other world event titles.  Most of the other ones involve some kind of PVP aspect, which most people find difficult at best, and frustratingly impossible at worst.  But the beauty of Brewfest as one would expect, is that it’s a very festive time.  There’s beer, sausage, and drunken dancing.  Oddly enough, of all the world events I would have expected intoxicated PVPing in some form.  Nope, not the case.  If you grind out some dailies, the title can be yours over time.

Herculano, it turns out, only needed to obtain a Brewfest mount.  Luckily, for two tokens, he could buy a herb that would make his mount look like a Brewfest mount.  So Herc did one quest, picked up ten tokens, and bought the herb to earn himself a double-play.

Brewfest Achievements

Since you can’t have drunken shenanigans without injuries, Herc also finished off a First Aid achievement.

Illustrious Grand Master at First Aid

Not bad for maybe fifteen minutes of effort.
