Ask Jeeves – Engineering and Archaeology
I have been slack-assed as of late, and for that I apologize. Not one, but TWO of the Ask Jeeves segments have gone by. In the AIE Podcast #86, Jeeves and I discuss the merits of the Engineering Profession. At the end of the segment, we announce a contest where the winner will receive a Mechano-Hog of their very own!
Man, it sure would have been sweet if someone would have blogged about that a few weeks ago. That would have made for some killer blog content, don’t you think?
(Editor’s Note — This is the curse of doing anything during the holiday season other than eating, drinking, or opening presents.)
In the most recent AIE Podcast #87, Jeeves and I announced the winner of the Mechano-Hog and reviewed why someone might want to pursue the Archaeology profession (spoiler – they’re masochists!)

The Wall – Part The Second
That’s a good looking sword right there. A steal at only 25 Champion’s Seals!
Most DK’s swing the Titansteel Destroyer once they hit 80. We can make one if we wanted to. But since we’re not buying pets or mounts with our Seals, might as well get something out of the jousting efforts.
This is the second toon I’ve taken to 80, and I’ve found the same thing happened. Ding 80, and the enthusiasm fizzles out. I thought that, with my hunter, it was just burnout on the class. After all, between all the servers I’ve had characters on I’ve probably gone through over 200 levels of Hunter. Hecksticks, Rukgut even got the rare Proto-Drake from the Oracle’s Egg and even that wasn’t enough to get me psyched up to play him.
Maybe running Rokk through some instances might help. Problem there is that I’m running WoW on my laptop, and I’ve found that my system bogs right down during Chillmaw fights. I can’t imagine what it’d do during a raid, or a heroic for that matter. Wonderful.
Feeling a bid dejected, we decided it was time to round out some skills. Well, fishing had fallen behind and it had the potential to be a good money-maker. Why not?
Mid-cast, someone runs up to me out of the blue – I shit you not – and they feel the need to let me in on the server’s worst-kept secret:
Fantastic.
Blood In, Blood Out
Thanks to Skeleton Jack’s blog, I found a good outline for a DK Blood Spec and decided to give it a try when Rokk dinged 66. He did, respecced, and have been killed twice by Gutripper while I managed to kill the other two Nesingwary elites as a 65 Unholy DK. The second time I dropped, he was almost dead himself. Not sure if that means anything, or if it was just a run of bad luck. I’m half-temped to spec back to Unholy and try the bird one more time.
After getting Blacksmithing close to 300, spending hundreds of gold in the process, I’m wondering if I shouldn’t have gone with Engineering instead. Maybe Rukgut will have to switch from Leatherworking.
Guess I’ll have to sleep on it for now.
