Rocket Bouncing Challenge!
by Zevia on Jul.25, 2010, under Zevia
So you’re an ICC raider, eh? You say you hate how long it takes to get the Gunship started after everyone’s on board?
Then, I CHALLENGE YOU, SIR! How many times can you bounce in the air without landing using the gunship’s rocket pack? Keep in mind, most guilds probably aren’t going to wait around for you to get your best, so do it right the first time!
Here’s my best, so far:
Warcraft Word Jumble
by Saate on Mar.11, 2010, under Jumbles
Just a quick puzzle for you guys today. The ‘Word Jumble’ puzzles that appear in the newspaper here are a favourite of mine. Since people seem to like puzzles I had the idea to put together some of these except with a wow-related theme.

Let me know what you think and maybe we can make it a regular weekly thing? Also instead of posting the answer in your comments and giving it away how about just saying if you also think _ _ _ _ _ is the worst place of all too? :D
Round 2 – Name these bosses!
by Saate on Nov.25, 2009, under Challenges, General
So I had lots of fun with that last classic challenge. I was surprised how many people got it so this time (I think) I’ve made it harder for you! Four of these bosses are from four different classic warcraft dungeons. One of them is a classic raid boss.
Who are they and where are they from?
Bonus Question: If they all faced off with each other who would emerge victorious?
No prize this time but I have some loot cards arriving soon for future rounds. I’ll let the winner pick the topic (ie scenes, npcs, items) of the next round as a reward though. If you have any ideas for tricky stuff then email me them through.
Name these classic bosses
by Saate on Nov.22, 2009, under Challenges, General
Something fun for you guys! After a few classic instance runs lately I got to thinking about how many ‘secret’ or ‘hidden’ bosses there were even back then.
There’s a massive list of them so I thought it might be a cool challenge to show a picture of a few at a time and see who can get the most correct. To clarify; All of the bosses shown in the picture were in non-raid instances during classic warcraft.
I have a [Path of Cenarius] loot card here for the first correct set of answers. If nobody answers correctly within a day or so it’ll go to the person who got the most correct. Leave your answers in the comments field below!
UPDATE – I’ve had a number of responses come in so far. I’m going to not show the comments for another day or so to ensure everyone gets a fair go. Also a bonus question! People who played a certain class in classic wow have an advantage on this challenge, which class and why?
UPDATE 2 – The first correct answer was Hakasu from Ravenholdt EU, your path of cenarius code is on the way in an email grats! :) Grats also to Dregor, Aimcaster, Blatant, Ares, Stonefury who had correct answers.
The answer to the bonus question was Mage. In classic wow the Magisters Boots (dungeon set) were originally – and very unfairly – a drop from Postmaster Malown. They were later moved to Hearthsinger Forestren who was a lot easier to farm.
I also would have accepted Druids for the Mor Grayhoof/idol connection as some of you pointed out – many memories of stealth farming that one! :)
Dire Maul Fun – Any Challengers?
by Saate on Mar.30, 2009, under Insane in the Membrane
So I’ve been playing with Sony Vegas a little bit more, and I’m getting the hang of putting together videos and stuff to share with you guys. I plan to upload a few more in future to share the methods I used for various parts of ‘Insane in the Membrane’ farming. Stuff like the best places to pickpocket heavy junkboxes for Ravenholdt rep, and more ratchet/dm steamwheedle rep farming.
I don’t normally pull like this doing my runs, I just happened to be close to reaching the five instances/hour cap and had a few minutes to kill so I thought I’d see what I could do. I’m very curious to find out if any other classes can beat this, I suspect possibly a Paladin would be the only real competition out there but I’m not sure they could put out enough DPS to take them down fast enough. Ah well, prove me wrong!
