BRD

Johannite, Sidil and I ran part of Blackrock Depths last night. I have photos on my Flickr page over on the left. Got some nice shots.
Mana regen for hunters still sucks.

Alterac Valley 2

I've been getting the hang of the turn-ins in AV, but had to look up what to do with the flesh I was picking up off fallen players and NPCs. They are apparently for Wing Commanders, who you must rescue. I've tried locating them, but have had no luck.
I did turn in so much blood last night that we nearly summoned the ice god. That was cool.
Vials of blood are turned into the Tauren Druid in a small cave in the main area of the fortress. When enough are turned in, a team of druids will ride to the middle of the map and start summoning a god. 10 players have to help in the summoning, then he will show up and start rampaging. He can be healed, so it's best to have players supporting him.
Pieces of armor are turned in to an Orc near the cave with a blue question mark over him. The armor provides strength increases to friendly NPCs from what I understand. Whenever you see your inventory loading up with these turn-ins, zip back to base and drop them off. Deadly Boss mods even automate the turn-in process so it just takes one click.
So does anyone know where the Horde Wing Commanders are being held?

What I've learned of Alterac Valley so far...


Since I'm still new to Alterac, I'm just putting down my experiences to help anyone else who hasn't done it yet.

Taking Coldtooth Mine (F) is an easy thing to pull off with 2 or 3 people at the most. A single Hunter could solo it, but backup makes things go much faster. Your goal in the Mine is to kill the boss named Snivvle. The easiest path to him is through the lower entrance to the mine. Just fight through, hang a right, then a left and you should spot him. He stands out. Kill him, then leave the same way you came in.

If you're there at the beginning, I've found it's a lot of fun to stick with the large group of Horde who head due north to Stonehearth Bunker (11), cap it quickly, then head straight to Stonehearth Outpost (10) where Balinda lives. Balinda is tough, and you should get at least 10 people to help take her down. After that, I just sort of wander from fight to fight. Like I said, I'm still pretty new at this.

When you take out enemies, make sure to loot their corpse. You'll get a bunch of crap. Most of it can be turned in back at the Frostwolf Relief Hut (B) and surrounding camps. Keep an eye out for NPCs in that area with blue question marks. Turn in as much of the loot as you can to the various NPCs. If you have the trinket that allows you to quickly return to the Frostwolf Keep, use it for quick turn-ins. If you find yourself spawning at the northernmost graveyard, make your way to the main offense heading towards Dun Baldar. Don't try to take on the Alliance boss until you've got at least 15-20 people ready to go. Also, when fighting the Alliance boss, do not run outside of the building if you get aggro. If you run out, he resets to full health and everyone must start the fight over. Take the death, and just respawn.

I hope to post more in the future as I get a better grasp on this Battleground.

For easy add-on updates

The program you're looking for is called Wowmatrix. It's the best one I've found that will easily update all your add-ons, and has a convenient list of hundreds of other add-ons that can be grabbed with a single click. A quick google search will bring it right up.

This will just be an easy place to post messages to the guild when not playing. I'll be sending out contributor invites so you can all post on here.
