There's More Delicious Chocolate Cake

I previously wrote about this recipe around the time it first appeared in game. I just found a write-up on WoW Insider about Delicious Chocolate Cake. Apparently it's is involved with several of the achievments that came with the patch. They also have a real life recipe of the same title you can make outside of game.

Patch 3.0.2

Another patch is headed our way and rumors that have been flying about the Amani War Bear disappearing may be false.

What could be confusing this issue is that mounts will no longer appear in your bags but will be a tab on your character screen. Perhaps someone on the test server noticed their mount disappear and did not fully understand why. They are doing this with non-combat pets as well. Woot! The WoW gods were listening to my plea... haha! Take that you heartless AoP know it all (those that would understand this comment know what AoP stands for)! People do like to collect pets in game! But where is my bottomless quest bag? *sigh* You can't get everything at once I guess.

Other WoTLK changes appear to be headed for released in this patch including talent rebuilds, scribing (some of it) and the babershop.

Blah!

I haven't posted a while because I'm trying to recover from a nasty computer virus I got about a month ago and I'm tearing up my house again. I've been kind of bored with WoW lately and interestingly enough, I found a video on Youtube about the subject.



I'm not overly impressed with it, but I have done several of the things she mentioned to try to get interested in the game again. But I have to ask, why did it take her 9 months for her advice to work? She could have created a human being in that amount of time... might have made a more interesting video too... umm well, I don't mean that! I know what you were thinking. Sheesh! Also, in 9 months I think she would have had time to maybe try for a better cut of video. She starts off good but it kind of dwindles. I don't get her last reason. I think of having to get to level 80 and makes me NOT want to play. And, is it me or does she scratch a lot? Must be a nervous itch. I'll have to check out her website sometime but I'm not that desperate at the moment.

Hmmm, so what else is up? I'm Caffeinated again. I know they say to stay off the Caffeine, but you know, things just don't feel right decaffeinated.

Patch 2.4.3 coming to Test Realm

Woot! And people thought that there wouldn't be a patch before Lich King comes out!

Some interesting changes:

Mounts at 30! Yep, you will no longer have to wait until level 40 to have a mount. This means Jahde and Lilwarlock will be needing a group for their mount quests when the patch comes out.

Tailoring: No cooldown on regular mooncloth... dang, the price is going to drop I'm sure. A few new tailoring patterns have been added.

Herbalism: Mycah will sell a 28 slot herb bag. Ungoro soil and Evergreen pouches. Of course it will, because I think I just recently destroyed them because I was running out of room and was too lazy to finish the quest.

Mining: green gems will appear in mining nodes. I thought the drop rate had decreased. Wonder what was up with that? Smelt Hardened Khorium will now properly require a forge instead of an anvil and hammer. LOL didn't even notice that. I guess I've never made any?

Alchemy: Philosopher’s Stone requires 200 alchemy. Not sure if that's a decrease or increase atm.

NPC: Haris Pilton opens shop and will sell jewelry and bags. LOL

Keep track of time: Stopwatch and alarm added. Hmmm, no more using that kitchen timer that looks like an egg or tomato, or whatever you might have.

Hunter: Invisible players with Hunter’s Mark can see the hunter that put the mark on them. Huh? What fer? I don't get that one... maybe helpful if you play on a PVP server so you don't attack the wrong hunter I guess but I don't really get why you would need it in a battleground. Can a player see the person who cast holy fire on them? Blizz, what the heck? Explain yourselves.

Warlock: Curse of Shadows is being removed completely. I sure hope this nerfs them a bit. It ticks me off that they can throw those around on multiple mobs and kill them in the same time my hunter can kill one. Ticks me off. Let me get a few motes of water for my enchants for goodness sake! How would you like it if I could farm all your soul shards leaving none for you and sold them in the AH? Hmmm?

NPC: Banker Meeda, in Area 52 is now in the...well...the bank, along with a guild vault and guards. The other three Area 52 bankers are still located in the auction-house-turned-bank. Zomg, I'm not crazy! I was sure I remembered an AH there and not a bank.

Mobs: Gan’arg Analyzers will no longer occasionally become friendly to players. Hmmm, guess they were Bi-polar and were given meds. Now their mood is stable and will always be mean.

Several items sold by the Consortium reputation vendor Paulsta’ats are now bind on pick-up: Formula: Enchant Weapon- Major Striking, Design: Delicate Blood Garnet, Design: Shifting Shadow Draenite, Design: Lustrous Azure Moonstone, Design:Thick Golden Draenite. Better ship these to your alts while you can!
