Fight Strategies For the The Shattered Halls in World of Warcraft

The Shattered Halls is a level 70 instance in the Hellfire Citadel. This instance has three bosses in it. Here are fight strategies for each boss.

Nethekurse

The first Boss is Grand Warlock Nethekurse. In front of him are four orcs that must be killed in any order. Once the last one is killed, Nethekurse will aggro to the party. If the party takes too long to kill the orcs, Nethekurse will kill the last one himself and then aggro to the party.

Nethekurse has three abilities that the party should be aware of so that he can be killed. The first is Summon Void Zones. Using this, he will summon void zones throughout the fight. They will do 1000 shadow damage per second. Players, including the tank, will need to move away from these or they will be killed. This shouldn't be too hard because players will be warned by emotes 1-2 seconds before they are cast.

The next ability is Death Coil. It is just like the warlocks death coil, which fears the target while draining 100% damage to cast as life. The third ability is Dark Spin. Once Nethekurse reaches 20% health he starts spinning, doing 2000 damage to all playes in melee range and throwing shadow bolts at random people in the group doing 1500 shadow damage. During this time, he will not move so the tank and melee can back out if needed to heal up.

Warbringer O'mrogg

The next boss is Warbringer O'mrogg. He is a two-headed ogre with four major abilities. His Thunder Clap is like the warrior thunderclap, but has a increased nature damage up to 938-1062. This will slow your attacks up to 30%. Warbringer O'mrogg next ability is an AoE, or Area of Effect, fear. This can be broken by Will of the Forsaken, Tremor Totems, or Fear Ward. Any trinkets that break fear will also work. The third ability is Burning Weapon. Once his weapon starts to glow with fire, he will hit for 1000 damage each melee hit. His last ability, Blast Wave, works with Burning Weapon. Blast Wave will happen after his weapon beings to glow with fire. He will send out waves of fire that deal 2500-3500 damage and slow your speed. During this time he will switch targets randomly. The tanks need to keep him off the healer.

Warchief Kargath Bladefist

The last boss is Warchief Kargath Bladefist. He has only one ability and it is Blade Dance. Warchief Kargath Bladefist will use Blade Dance every 30 seconds. This is a whirlwind like attack doing weapon damage to all party members within melee range. Have the main tank aggro Warchief Kargath Bladefist in the center of the room so the ranged players can spread out so they do not get hit by the blade dance.

Although he only has the one skill, Warchief Kargath Bladefist still hits fast and does around 600 damage hit. During this fight he will summon orcs to his aid. They need to be tanked or killed. The DPS should focus on killing Kargath quickly. To learn more about strategies for World of Warcraft, try reading the Team Idemise Guide.

Why Gamers Can't Get Enoung of Nintendo Wii

Nintendo make it known from the start that they wanted the Wii to be family oriented. Therefore, it had to be offered at a price that an average family could afford to buy. The reason Nintendo Wii is such a success is that it manage to bring in the whole family to embrace console games - Wii put Nintendo on the lead. Now, the dads, moms, grandparents, and the children can enjoy playing Wii games like Tennis, Golf, Bowling, Boxing, and Baseball. For many families out there, the Nintendo Wii bundles in many shops are an excellent option to purchase the console. The reasons are easy to understand.

First, you save money. Packages that include the game and the console will save you money compared to buying individual games. Plus, the accessories are given free. Some Wii Games bundle, like the Wii Tennis Bundle option, offered extra freebies like one extra Wii remote. You can use the remote like a bat to swing and hit the ball in real time but only virtually.

Thanks to all these advantages, Nintento announced a few weeks ago that they have sold over 1.5 million Virtual Console games through the Wii’s Shopping Channel in the first two months of its release. Revenue generated from the Wii Virtual Console purchases is unknown. However, many gaming experts estimated it be about $10 million putting Nintendo on top of their game.

So what the future willl bring for Nintendo Wii? Well, Nnintento has already announced the launching of the Wii 2! And, thanks to the fast growing Wii user community, we can expect many top game companies entering the Wii market. In turn, they will produce new games that for sure will require even cooler and better gadgets. Because at the end of the day, that is what makes the Wii such a special console; the overall improved game player experience. Nothing can beat that unique feeling of being really involved in the game by using your body movements in real time - all the while having live interaction with friends and family.

Computers Are Too Gory for Youth

The more vivid the graphics, the better. The race to increased market sales is on for different gaming manufacturers as almost every month, state-of-the-art technology are incorporated with each video game. With characters that come almost nearly to life, the gamers are bombarded with details that lead others to believe they would rather not see - too much blood for example. Places like walmart get these games off their shelves as fast as they can stock them, but it leaves some people saying that the games are too violent?

Of course, there is more than one side in conflict here. On one hand are those who believe that the games aren’t, specifically the gamers and the developers themselves. Their reason is that discipline depends on the player and that this would determine up to what extent the influence could be. It is a battle of self-control and putting things in the right perspective. If people get more violent after a few hours of gaming then maybe it's their lack of dicipline, rather than the game causing the problems.

On the flipside of the coin, that argment is the same as the people who do think games are too violent make. The powerful emotional response is brought on by the action and effects that is so realistic that people cant detach themselves from it. Reality can only be shown as how things are, while it is sometimes exagerated, it really need to be based on real life.

Both sides do have a valid point, although this still does not answer the question whether video games are violent or not. The debate can go on, but to be helpful to gamers, there are several ways with which any retaining effects can be prevented. First is to allot a specific time of the day and limit the number of hours you play. Games like this target people who have a hard time drawing a line between reality and the game world. Following a schedule will help you learn that discipline.

Second is to know when to stop. When you find yourself overly invested in the death of a in game character take a deep breath. Not only does it clear your mind, it helps your body normalize as well after the surge of adrenaline. Three is for the kids who have parents that let them play these games. At a young age, discipline should already be imbibed at this crucial formative stage. Once a child has been affected then the effects are hard to remove, so parents need to be vigilant. If you want a game that is fun and not overly violent then you should think about buy legend of zelda namely buy oracle of ages.

Being objective can be hard when you are talking about violence and tech as there are many opinions. What can be said for certain is that you need to understand video games to determine if they are too violent.

High-Level Instance Gear for Levels 40 to 50 in World of Warcraft

There are so many World of Warcraft instances and bosses for level 40 thru 50 that it is hard to know where to go for the best pieces. Here is a to-do list of all the major instances for these levels so that you can get the best gear without wasting a lot of time.

Uldaman

Uldaman has tons of bosses, but there are three that are must downs because they have the best gear. The Ancient Stone Keeper drops the Rockshard Pauldrons, which is good for hunters and shamans. Ironaya drops the Ironshod Bludgeon, which is top gear for feral druids. Last, but not least, Archaedas drops the Archaedic Stone, which is great for any class because it has a random enchantment.

Maraudon

Maraudon has eight bosses, total, but the best loot falls from one particular boss, Princess Theradras. The Blackstone Ring is great for any class that is melee or range spec such as druids, rouges, and warriors. Bracers of the Stone Princess is good for shamans and hunters because of its increase in attack power. Elemental Rockridge Leggings work for warriors and paladins because it increases your critical strike rating and has a lot of strength and stamina. The Eye of Theradras drops off the princess, as well, and it is a fantastic cloth piece because it has very high stats.

Zul'Farrak

Many regard Zul'Farrak with distaste, but some really good gear drops off of the boss named Shadowpriest Sezz'ziz. The Bad Mojo Mask will make any warlock drool and it is the best headpiece for casters at this level. The Diabolic Skiver is a pole arm that can be used by any melee class. It delivers 160-180 damage. The Jinxed Hoodoo Kilt and the Jinxed Hoodoo Skin is some of the best gear that a Moonkin or Restoration druid can hope to get. By targeting these bosses, you can get the gear you need in fewer instance runs; for the remainder of your gear, use the Idemise guide and just buy it off the auction house!

Gears of War 2 - Top Game of 2008 Holidays?

Gears of War 2 will be released on November 7, 2008 for the XBOX 360. Without a doubt this game has been one of the most talked about, and sure to be one of the most popular games, of this holiday season. Not since the original Gears of War was released has a game had this much anticipation for release. The controls of this game are some of the best in any shooter game which is fantastic as the action is very frenetic at time.

For those possible new fans of Gears of War, it is a third person shooter created by Epic Games for Microsoft Studios. It is an exclusive Microsoft title and can only be played on XBOX 360. The first Gears of War was also released for the Windows operating system. The guts of the game relies on a modified Unreal 3 engine to power the action and graphics.

The game continues with the player as Marcus Felix as leader of COG Delta squad. Their goal is simply to stop the Locust Horde from destrying humanity and taking over the world. Gears of War 2 will allow the player to use those familiar weapons, and a few new ones, to continue on the goal of destroying the Lucust Horde before they wipe out humanity. One of the most popular weapons in the arsenal of the game has to be the chainsaw mounted on a machine gun for shooting or sawing your opponents. One of the new features of Gears of War 2 is the ability to use a downed opponent as a shield as you continue to shoot. Those that have seen previews of the game have enjoyed this new tactic available to the player. Killing the Locust Horde or your opponent has never been more thrilling.

The multi-player games will be what really keeps the interest high in the game after the single player game is complete. There have been a reported 15 new maps available for multi-playr action, which should help keep interest in the game until well into 2009. There are numerous games within the multi-player option that will keep players occupied. Reports indicate that at least three new on-line multi-player modes, called "Guardian," "Wingman," and "Submission" will be available. The player will also have the option for Co-op play with a friends or friends.

Gears of War2 is a game that a lot of fans of the original will be looking forward to. The violence and action level has been raised. The gameplay is easily as good as the first, if not improved. One of this holiday season's most aniticipated game for XBOX 360 is Gears of War 2. For those that enjoy Gears of War action figures or Gears of War toys, new versions of those will also be released during the launch.

Peter Molyneux and His New Fable 2 RPG

Peter Molyneux (born in 1959 in Guildford, Surrey, UK) is considered one of the world's best developers of computer games. An adjective often used is "inventive". He is especially well known for games like Dungeon Keeper, Populous, and Black & White. His best known flaw is that he sometimes builds up the hype on games too much while they are still under development. In some cases the game meets the hype, but in most (?) cases they are not what he makes them out to be.

A well known example of this was the 2004 release of Fable. Now that Fable 2 is in play on machines everywhere, what can be said for Peter? Is Fable 2 a retread of Fable? Was it over-hyped?

Many of you will probably say that Fable 2 is, indeed, more than Fable was. It is a better rendition. Where Fable's combat was criticized a lot, Fable 2's will most likely satisfy both casual and advanced players. And then there is the dog! Yes, a canine. One that you get to rescue, and have as a companion.

I think that you will love the new combat system in Fable 2, and Xbox LIVE will add a new experience.

PC World says, "Fable II is Peter Molyneux's Smartest Game Yet.", and "... his (Peter's) work on Fable II, clear evidence of a mature designer who's finally figured out how to extricate pathos from all that whiz-bang ..."

And from Peter himself, "... to finish Oblivion would take sixty or seventy hours ... in Fable 2, the story lasts thirteen to fourteen hours."

Peter again, "(in Fable 2) If you want to be evil or good or kind or cruel, then that's totally up to you. With Oblivion it was basically all about me killing things."

In summary ...

* this action RPG (role playing game) made exclusively for the Xbox 360 picks up the story 500 years after the first Fable
* wide-ranging open-ended gameplay
* you can choose to be a female or male character
* the new combat system allows for short-range, long-range, and magic attacks
* any money earned in the minigames on Live Arcade can be used in the game
* Xbox LIVE online multiplayer mode lets you bring other players into your world

Further comments, reviews, and potential sellers of Fable 2 are available through the Picked by Rick website.

Nintendo Wii Auctions

You want a Nintendo Wii console, you’ve looked in all your local stores – nothing. You’ve asked friend’s neighbors and co-workers, “Where can I get one” and all you get is “I dun no”, darn; now what are you going to do?

 

Cheer up, I have an answer you probably didn’t think of – auctions - yes auctions. You can easily get that prized Nintendo Wii console in an auction and have it in a few days time delivered right to your door. Right about now you’re probably saying “auctions?”, “yeah right, probably some used piece of crap someone is trying to pawn on me”. Nothing could be further from the truth, please – read on.

 

I bet you didn’t know that 90% of items sold in on-line auctions, (like e-bay for example), are brand new, never used & most still with the original manufacturers warranty. And, I further bet that you didn’t know almost all major “big name” chain stores use on-line auctions as another way to sell to you, under a factious name, or through affiliates. Auctions really are a way to get some incredible bargains, plus the Nintendo Wii is always in stock at auction.

 

Not only can you obtain a Wii console at auction, but Wii games, Nintendo Wii accessories, and best of all a complete Nintendo Wii Bundle at ridiculous prices. I bet auctions are sounding pretty good right now. I’ll help you out a little more, instead of logging through thousands of items on auction to find that killer Wii console you want so badly, I am going to give you a site that only has Nintendo Wii items and nothing else!

 

This site has the afore mentioned wii auctions and lots of them, it also has pages of Nintendo Wii bundles, plus, yes there is more, they have a 400 + Wii game catalog, an accessories catalog, a Nintendo Wii hardware catalog, and my favorite, a Guitar hero catalog- page after page with nothing but guitar hero stuff for the Nintendo Wii. Talk about sweet, this site rocks.

 

My suggestion to you is to head over there and get that prized Nintendo Wii console you want and anything else for the Wii you like. Tell your friends neighbors and country men; get over there and get the Wii items you want, there’s plenty there and always in stock. Now, aren’t you glad I told you about Nintendo Wii auctions? See ya. Oops, almost forgot, the site is nintendo wii-auctions, one long word, that’s a real dash by the way so don’t forget it, and then just put the dot com after it. Later.

Warhammer Online Level 1-40 Guide Book

So, the game is finally out, you have it installed on your newest, fastest computer, and you are currently sitting at the login screen trying to figure out which race to choose and where to go with them. It’s not surprising that you’re unsure what to do next – Warhammer Online is a big game. I’ve played my fair share of the game thus far in beta and live servers and have to say that I’m incredibly impressed with how deep it is. For a brand new MMO right out of the box, it has a tremendous amount of content and is one heck of a solid game.

But, when you get that deep of a game right out of the box, you also get a whole heck of a lot of content you need to sort through to reach Rank 40 for any given race and a whole lot of nothing to help you do it. That brings me to today’s post. I want to introduce you to a guide I’ve recently uncovered in my initial gameplay time with Warhammer Online – the first real leveling guide I’ve seen since it came out to capture every detail and lock into every necessary step to reach Rank 40 without backtracking, grinding, or wasting your time dying in an overpowered Public Quest.

Warhammer Elite is special right now because it is the only guide I’ve seen yet that is based almost entirely off of the live game and not the closed beta from weeks or even months ago. With that, you get a complete run through of the game that is 100% accurate and detailed with maps, screenshots of many of the game’s hundreds of steps, and dozens of pages of content designed only to help you reach Rank 40.

Toss in the recognition of multiple leveling methods including Public Quests and the Tome of Knowledge and you have a downright solid tool to get from 1-40 as fast as possible. Personally, I’m a huge fan of RvR but Mythic has turned down the XP gain from scenarios enough that I have to spend a night here and there leveling through traditional quests. After five days of RvR though, it is hard to remember where I was in my PvE leveling. With Warhammer Elite that problem has disappeared and I’m actually even playing less RvR as I get so involved in the PvE quests. This guide is the real deal folks.

Using the Scarlett Monastery to Gear Your World of Warcraft Character

Scarlet Monastery has the best drops for 29-40 characters. Here is a list of what drops there and who drops it so that you can plan how to get the best gear for your character.

Library

The Library drops the key to unlock the other two zones, so it should be where you go first in the Scarlett Monastery. There are two bosses in The Library. Here is what they drop.

Houndmaster Loksey drops:

· The Dog Whistle, which is a whistle that summons a dog to fight for you for 10 minutes.
· The Loksey's Training Stick, which is a staff that increases attack power.
· The Dog Training Gloves, which are good for rouges and feral druids.

Arcanist Doan drops:

· The Deadman's Hand, which is an epic ring that is great for all melee classes.
· The Hypnotic Blade, which is a caster's blade.
· The Mantle of Doan and the Robe of Doan, which are both for cloth users.
· The Illusionary Rod, which is great for casters such as warlocks.

The Armory

The next part of the instance to hit is the Armory. It has one boss that drops great mail melee gear and a fantastic two-handed axe:

· Herod's Shoulder
· Raging Berserker's Helm
· Scarlet Leggings
· Ravager

The Cathedral

The bosses in The Cathedral, High Inquisitor Fairbanks, High Inquisitor Whitemane, and Scarlet Commander Mograine (which are side-by-side), drop some fantastic gear.

High Inquisitor Fairbanks drops:

· Dusty Mail Boots, which are mail boots for tanks.
· Inquisitor's Shawl, which is cloth for spell casters.
· Branded Leather Bracers, which are good for druids and rouges.

High Inquisitor Whitemane, and Scarlet Commander Mograine drop:

· The Triune Amulet, which has great stats for any class because it has something for everyone.
· Mograine's Might, which is great for feral druids and mace speced warriors.
· The Hand of Righteousness, which is a healing mace that is a must have for all healers.
· Whitemane's Chapeau, which is a cloth hat for casters.
· Aegis of the Scarlet Commander, which is a shield for any tank class.
· Gauntlets of Divinity, which are gloves for melee classes that wear mail.
· Scarlet Leggings, which are for mail class characters.

Sometimes playing just one character can be boring. The game can be a lot more fun when you have multiple characters to play. Whether you're working on your first character or your fifth, a leveling guide like the Team Idemise Guide will help you get it to level 70 fast.

How to Win World of Warcraft’s Eye of the Storm Battlegrounds

The Eye of the Storm battlegrounds is a new battleground for World of Warcraft that was added with the Burning Crusade expansion. It is very popular with players that love to play defense. Here is how the battleground works and how to win.

There are four towers, the Blood Elf Tower, the Mage Tower, Draenei Ruins, and the Fel Reaver Ruins. There is one tower at each corner of the map, and a flag in the middle of the map. The object of the game is to reach 2000 points. To get points, players have to capture a tower and protect it from the opposing team. To get even more points, players can capture the flag in the center of the battlegrounds and take it to their captured tower.

The points given for capturing the flag goes up with the more towers that are taken. For example, three towers captured will give you more points when you return the flag than only having one tower.

One winning strategy is to grab the towers closest to the starting area as soon as the battleground starts. Some players will stay to defend the towers, while others go off to fight for the flag. Hunters, druids, and rouges are usually best for capturing the flag because they have fast running abilities. Mages are also good because they can use Blink to evade any enemies.

Another winning strategy is to take three towers, and hold them, without worrying about the flag. Controlling three towers almost insures victory because it is very difficult for the opposing team to catch up with only one tower, no matter how many times they run the flag.

No matter what strategy the team uses, players should never fight with the opposing team away from the towers or flag. This wastes your fighting resources and gets nothing accomplished. If these strategies are followed, and you use the Idemise guide to get gold for the best gear, you can win every time at the Eye of the Storm battlegrounds.

Nintendo Wii - tips on shopping

Do you know one of the hottest commodities sold on the market today? A lot of people are already looking for it and maybe, you should buy one too. If you love games, then you've probably heard of Nintendo Wii. This game console was able to create huge sparks despite its limited production. You can't easily find Nintendo Wii in local retail stores, which has been a major problem. If you think that you can't easily find one online, you're very wrong.

Before you take the leap, you have to know a few things about Nintendo Wii. Here are some tips that you may want to consider about Nintendo Wii.

1. The game console is usually sold in a package or Bundle. You have to determine what is included in the bundle. The price is usually affected by the extras included in the package. If you purchase a package with no extras, the price is cheaper. However, a bundle package is still cheaper than buying everything separately. Buying individual games in the future can be more expensive; so if you have any financial constraints(who doesn’t),take advantage of the Bundle package with extras, here is a good selection to check out.

 

2. When making purchases through online stores, you have to check the seller as well as the feedbacks. Even if the feedbacks are mostly positive, you still have to check the complaints or negative feedback, and any seller responses. Take negative feedback with a grain of salt, it may have been left just for spite.

 

3. There are some online stores that don't hold sellers accountable and if you're making a purchase with that kind of store, it’s safer to use a service such as Pay-pal. Auctions are still the best way to find a real bargain, and shopping at places like e-bay are very safe.

 

4. Suppose you found a Nintendo Wii package with extras online for just $150.Don't just grab the package; instead, ask why the package is priced very low. It may be the seller has just priced it low for a quick sale. Ask.

 

5. When making an online purchase, you should have everything documented. Get the website URL, receipt, addresses, names, telephone numbers, etc. Being organized has some advantages, again, use of a payment service is still best.

 

6. If you already own a Nintendo Wii, make sure you get the right Accessories. This is the only way to enjoy the game console; it really enhances game play tremendously. Plus it’s the only way to take advantage of the Wii’s awesome technology.

 

By doing your homework, you can get all the facts about the new Nintendo Wii. You can use such information when making a purchase of a brand new game console or when buying accessories in the future. Shop around and find a reliable and reasonably priced Nintendo Wii. A really great place to start is Nintendo Wii Auctions.com, This site has alot to offer - check it out.

How to Find a Wii Fit Bundle Without Driving All Over Town

The Wii Fit is the latest release for the Nintendo Wii to cause a huge stir among consumers. The game contains 4 different types of exercises for players to complete: Yoga, Balance Games, Aerobic Exercises, and Strength Training. The main exercise types contain ten basic games which are used to improve your game scores and phyical health. The balance board is required for the game so buying the board with the game is an attractive option for gamers. The Wii Fit Bundle includes the game along with the Wii Balance Board.

Unless a pre-order of the Wii Fit Bundle was made, it's very difficult to locate the bundle in stores. Much like the Nintendo Wii Consoles, the bundles are sold out and very likely backordered for at least a few weeks. Everyone wants the game because it allows players of different ages to exercise and have fun while also getting the blood going. Often times, the problem with exercising is that it feels too much like work. The Wii Fit allows gamers to exercise and have fun at the same time, often a hard thing to accomplish. Since exercise is often difficult to find time for, gamers can use the Wii Fit and spend time working out while having fun at the same time.

Since Wii Fit Bundles are in high demand, it could be a while before you are able start enjoying the game and burning calories. That's where online shopping comes in. It's not unusual for online stores to have hot games and electronics in stock compared to local stores.

The best place I've found to pick up a Wii Fit Bundle is http://wiiconsolesandmore.com.They continually have Wii Fit Bundles at good prices and ready for shipping.It's where I found my Wii Fit Bundle and many of my friends who had not been able to get a Wii Fitness Bundle picked one up from there as well.

Wow Walkthrough

If you're looking for a good World of Warcraft guide to help you through the many levels of play, you might want to also look through some of the numerous web pages available on the World of Warcraft walkthrough.

These are more or less the same thing as they both deal with detailed guides to how you can wind your way through the World of Warcraft game. These are not cheats though so you have nothing to worry about on that score.

The Warcraft Leveling guides are useful in that they will assist you in providing a clearer path through the sometimes complex World Of Warcraft.

Of course there's no hard and fast rule that says you have to use the information you will find on a World of Warcraft walkthrough. Instead, you are able to progress in the game at you own leisurely time and if all else fails you can use the World Of Warcraft walkthrough.

This can help you greatly because when you're stuck in a section with no clue as to where to go next or what to do next, going through a World of Warcraft walkthrough can give you relief.

The people who would normally compile a walkthrough have already gone through the game of World of Warcraft and have experienced many a quest and battle. They have gone through the same things that you now find yourself going through, and they have also probably come to the same impasse that you yourself now face.

To that extent you could try using the World of Warcraft walkthrough, or you could keep trying to get through by yourself until you find a way around your problem.

Another good thing to come about from the World of Warcraft walkthrough is that a rank beginner will be able to find help from a source that is willing to yield up its secrets.

Most World of Warcraft walkthrough sites will give their information for free but most of the better ones you will need to pay for as they are very detailed and thorough and may include maps as well as videos in some circumstances.

You will also find that if you follow some of the advice to be found in the World of Warcraft walkthrough that you will be leveling up faster and in a completely legitimate manner as well. It just doesn't get any better than that!

Maiden Boss Strategy for World of Warcraft’s Karazhan Instance

The Maiden boss fight is one of the simpler fights in the Karazhan instance. This fight is a straightforward tank and DPS fight, with some exceptions. 

At the start of the fight you want the tank, main healer, and one melee DPS player to stand in the entry way  to the boss room. To start the fight, the tank runs in and aggros the maiden with the melee DPS player right behind him.

The main healer stands at the pillars in the entryway while the rest of the raid group spreads out in a circle around the maiden. The circle should have a DPS/ healer formation. In other words, DPS players should stand on either side of a healer in the circle to avoid line-of-sight issues.

The maiden will do a spell called Repentance, which will put all of the players asleep. Right before she is able to cast, all players must move into her Area of Effect, or AoE, range so that when they are put to sleep they are brought back awake by her AoE damage.

After waking up, all the players need to move back to their spot outside the ring and continue DPS.

The maiden will also cast several other spells that will need to be taken care of. The first one is Holy Fire, which is a Damage Over Time spell, also called a DoT. This is placed on a random player in the raid. It does 3500 fire damage and 1750 more per second for 12 seconds. Because of this, Holy Fire must be dispelled right away.

Holy Wrath is another spell that she does. This is an Area of Effect, or AoE, spell. It has a range of zero yards so the tank will be the first to get hit by it. Then, it will then chain to the next person in range, which should be the DPS with the tank. Holy Wrath does 1900 damage to the tank and 2900 any others that are near them. The damage goes up 1000 more damage per very person that is standing near the maiden. This is why only one other person should be standing by the maiden.

The last spell is Holy Ground and it is similar to the paladin Consecration spell. It does 240-360 damage every three seconds and silences all non-instant casts for .5 seconds with a range of 12 yards. The good news is that Holy Ground is the spell that awakens players from Repentance.

This process should continue until the maiden is dead. These will help you get some of the best gear for your character; a guide like Idemise guide will help learn more things.

Joana's WoW Horde Leveling Guide

Is Joana's Horde Leveling Guide a scam? A lot of people have been consistently asking me that question.

People wonder about the hype surrounding it over the internet. The way the website itself is being advertised is also a killer. Some forum board people even think that Joana is cheating because he levels way too fast. 

What I can tell you right now is that Joana is the real deal. However, I know for sure that the maker of Joana's Horde Leveling Guide is a 100% legitimate player and he wrote this guide. If you wanna make the most of your time at World of Warcraft, then listen to him. The truth is, you won't have to get any other Horde guide out there if you've got Joana's.

Contents of the members area:

1. Joana's 1-25 Blood Elf Leveling Guide  

2. Joana's 1-60 Horde Leveling Guide 

3. Joana's 60-70 Outland Step-by-Step Guide 

4. Joana's 60-70 Outland Reference Guide 

5. Change Log for Joana's Guides 

6. Class Guides - Submitted by Users

This list does not do justice to the comprehensive knowledge you can find inside Joana's Horde Leveling Guide. This is just an introduction. Some other World of Warcraft Leveling Guides teach you what Joana does, but Joana is frankly far better.

The comprehensively written guide with step-by-step easy-to-follow instructions includes the following:

1. Detailed, easy-to-follow, numbered instructions for each level.

2. Detailed maps showing the paths you must take and where your location should be in completion of each numbered step.

3. A complete video that shows how Joana completes each level – while you watch it in real-time. If you think he's cheating, just go ahead and watch the entire video to show you what he does that makes him so fast.

I'm not sure about how much easier can Joana make you level from 1 to 70 as a Horde. So far, Joana does it best.

PS3 and Auction Sites

Have you looked in the sale papers for a PS3?  I guess that enough people are still buying them that you don't see them on sale often.  It can be annoying if you only have a set amount of money to work with and it's not quite enough to make the purchase.

I'm right there with you!  I have tried to justify the item in so many ways for so long.  I knew I could try to sell my old PS2 and even the games to raise money for a PS3 fund.  I've even thought about my old jeans in the closet, the ones with holes in them and seem all fashionable and seeing what I could sell them for on eBay.  I even cleaned out the garage scrounging for old tools and junk that I haven't used in years so I could sell them on eBay.  We even had a yard sale so I could try to earn enough money to buy the PS3.  It was hard to justify the time spent after I counted my till and it came up to just over $50.  By the way, garage sales will not get you the most money!  You'll make much more money selling your stuff on eBay.

In days gone by I felt the same way.  You seem to get so much more from the PS3 than from the Xbox or Wii.  The fact that it is Blu-Ray is a huge selling point for me.  Not only are all the games HD but now my movies are too.  Good luck getting that point past the wife!  Truthfully, once I got my wife hooked on Hi-Def TV we've never looked back.  At the end of the day it turned out to be easy to persuade her to get the PS3 on every front except the price.

I've been digging around for a while and I've discovered that to get the best price on the best game system that plays Blu-Ray you can't get a better value than with a PS3.  Even when it's not on sale!  You'll spend $200-250 bucks on a basic Blu-Ray player anyway.  While XBox does offer HD it is not the preferred format.  For me it was all about the hunt and getting the PS3 at a true sale price. 

I searched on eBay and some other traditional auction sites and found that there really aren't any PS3 Sale Prices out there.  You have to spend more than you normally would and get a "bundle" to really get the value.  The goal here is to spend as little money as possible, not more. 

Ultimately, I had to think outside the box.  Somebody told me about unique bid auction sites and I started researching them.  You'll find a few out there for sure but one stands above the rest, www.auctions4acause.com.  They have much more selection among everyday items than most of the other sites including the PS3.  Most other sites focus on really high-dollar items like cars, boats, houses and land.  That's all well and good but I just want a PS3!

Once I found that site I knew I had what I was looking for.  They had 2 items going for them in that they had the item I wanted at a potentially very inexpensive price.  I visited the site and setup an account.  I made 3 entries and hoped I had outsmarted the other bidders.  Unfortunately, I didn't get it the first time.  A few days later another was being auctioned.  I bid 3 or 4 more times, said my prayers and waited.  Bingo!  This time I had a winner.  7 days later I was playing Hot Shots Golf on my new PS3.  $59 was all I had spent.64.  Not too shabby, huh?

It can take a few minutes of reading to truly grasp the concept of the lowest unique bid auction style.  But once you get it, it can be addicting.  Since that time that I won the PS3 I've bid on and won 3 other items including an iPod Nano (they have the best iPod Prices) and $400 gas card.  I'm getting about 4 to 1 on my money so far with $1,200 in items for less than $360 in bidding. 

I wouldn't suggest the big box stores to find the best prices.  You can surely get a great deal when you go register at Auctions4aCause.

Enchanting Guide for World of Warcraft

Enchanting is a most sought-after profession but consequently one of the most difficult to learn in World of Warcraft. However, it is definitely worth it because you will be constantly using these abilites. With this WoW Enchanting Guide, the aim is to learn more about Enchanting.Enchanting an item isn't the only thing an enchanter does. Enchanters could also disenchant and this skill can come in handy in some occassions.

Although enchanting is a skill not for everyone, if you find in yourself a great deal of patience and the belief that this skill would be helpful to your quest, it’s worth trying it. we’re here to make it very easy for you.

WoW Enchanting Guide: Getting Started

You need to find a trainer to get your apprenticeship. This wouldn’t be hard, since they are readily available in various places in bigger cities. nce you get a trainer, you’ll also have to opt for a secondary profession. The choices are really much open. Remember you won't be needing any kind of gathering-cased second profession like mining since you won't need to do much gathering anyway.

Next thing you need is an item to enchant and also the recipe for enchanting it. Use your disenchantments very carefully, as you can never take your disenchantment back once you’ve done it. There's no turning back, so disenchant wisely.

Enchanted Armor set

Enchanting

To start the actual process of enchanting, let's work on an Enchant Bracer, which is worn on the wrist to deflect objects. You're going to be needing strange dust and lesser magic essence for this recipe. If you don't have these items yet, buy them at the auction house or get them from a vendor.

Once you have with you the items, open up the spellbook and and look for the enchanting window. Follow the instructions listed and you will have your first enchanted item for level 1 in no time. Just get on with it 'til you get past level 300.

Disenchanting

Disenchanting an item may be necessary at times so you can collect the special dusts and poweders that you need. In doing this, look up on your spellbook and select disenchant. After doing this, select the item you want to disenchant by moving the mouse over to it. Note that the process may take a few minutes to complete and there is no turning back once you start.

When you need to gather dust and other items for your enchanting recipes, disenchanting items is perhaps the easiest and most affordable manner to go. Here’s a quick guide to help you get the items you need:

Dust – Green Armor

Essence – Green Weapons

Shard – Blue Items

Nexus Crystal – Purple Items (up to 60)

Void Crystals – Purple Items (after level 60)

What to Do With Your Skill

Now that you know how to enchant items, you can now trade them with other players if you want to be social, or you can sell them. You may also sell your items to other players or have them auctioned at the auction house.

To find out more about enchanting, go to page 2 of WoW Black Book's WoW Enchanting Guide.

 

World Of Warcraft Gold Strategies – How To Make Gold In World Of Warcraft

The World of Warcraft, commonly referred to as WOW, has invaded the world and is still the leading MMORPG game in the entire planet. MMORPG stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. One of the most important elements in WOW is gold and there are many world of warcraft gold strategies you can take to make gold in World of Warcraft.

Gold is the main currency in this game. Without gold, you cannot buy potions and tools and armors to make the game enjoyable. Suffice to say, you won´t make it far without earning or buying warcraft gold. Gold can be earned by killing monsters and other players through a duel. Gold is also earned by completing a quest.

One WOW gold strategy used by many players to acquire gold is through looting or gold farming. What these people do is to create characters that function as robots. These characters do nothing all day but to kill and gather gold. Then these characters will give the gold to those who are willing to buy them.

The targets of these people are gamers who do not want to sweat for the gold they earn or do not know how to earn gold in WOW. Instead, they will just buy the gold from the seller and the seller´s character will transfer the gold to the buyer´s character. There are many people who use real money to buy world of warcraft gold and although it is frowned upon by other WOW gamers, I know of a lot of gamers who build their characters and their weapons this way.

There are other WOW gold strategies as well. For example, you can pick a secondary skill such as mining, blacksmithing and leatherworking etc and make gold by selling your created items to auction houses.

Click here to learn the best world of warcraft gold strategies you can use straight away. If you are interested in WOW gold farming, click here to get the world of warcraft gold farming guide.

How to Find Special Items in the World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft has a lot of specific items hidden in different locations. These items are necessary and useful to make extra money in the game. Here’s a quick guide on how to find special items in the World of Warcraft.

Black Lotus – This could be located in Winterspring. Check it out in the vicinity of the cave of the blue dragon. The best place to find it is near the cave of the blue dragon, but you can also find them in the Badlands and the Eastern Plaguelands.

Blood of the Mountain - In order to find this, you must mine your way around the Dark Nodes deep in the Searing Mountains. Blood of the Mountain – This would be needed for the coming quests in the game, and would also be useful for those who have almost mastered their professions. This item sells like hot cakes in the auction house.

Dark Runes – If you have any plans of going after only one item, this should be the one. There is a high amount of demand making it very necessary for the game. They are acquired by killing mobs in Scholo.

Essence of Water – This item can be found in the Felwoods and is worth running after the mobs in this area because of the very high drop rate in this location.

Larval Acid – You can easily sell one of these for around 10 gold pieces, so this is another item to focus on. You can find it in the Eastern Plaguelands by grinding slugs. This is a great manner to earn gold fast since the drop rate is actually quite high.

Stonescale Eels – These items are pretty hard to find and you'd probably need to try your luck getting them late at night to get better results. You can find these on the coasts of Kalimdor. One Stonescale Eel can easily get you 1 gold piece by selling it.

After knowing how to find special items in the World of Warcraft, you've got to learn how to sell them. Here are som Auction House tips:

Since you’re going to need to sell these items in the auction house for best results, it’s important to have a good strategy to make the most money. If you are not familiar with how the auction house works, you’re going to want to sit back and watch for a few days. Observing may help you get a grip on the pricing and demand.

I suggest that you don’t price your items too high or too low. The auction system will automatically give you a base price and you’ll be able to decide if you want to price it a little higher or a little lower. It’s a good idea to schedule your auctions for times when player activity is higher, such as early evening. Early in the evening is a good time as opposed to late at night 'cause a lot of other players are online at that time.

Don’t flood the auction house with too many similar items. Some players tend to leave all their accumulated items in the auction house before moving item but it's a bad strategy. Begin selling with one from each of the more popular items you have and perhaps three or four from your more common items. You will have better chances of obtaining higher prices if you bring some of your items after leaving the marketplace.

As much as possible, resist the urge to run other players out of the auction by unfairly undercutting their prices. This will ruin the market for an item, and will only increase your chance of gaining enemies. This practice is frowned upon and will only win you enemies. Do not get too excited and overdo it—always keep your prices fair.

That's just the gist of knowing how to find special items in the World of Warcraft but I hope you learned a lot of practical information from this article and that you get to apply it in your game. Enjoy!

Free PSP Games Downloads – Get Free Downloadable PSP Games

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as download free PSP games. Well, perhaps there are people who really offer free PSP games downloads but there is a risk associated there. Nothing in this life is for free except for the air that we breathe. Anyhow, there are certainly websites that offer free PSP files and free PSP games downloads. However, there may be certain terms and conditions that you may not like.

The first option is per-to-peer file sharing. This means that as a member, you will be able to get free downloads of any files as long as one member has the file and is willing to share it with the whole world.

The catch is, majority of these pee-to-peer groups have regulations that you have to share files, too, whose sizes are equivalent to the files that you downloaded. Let us say you downloaded an MP3 song that has a total of 4.2 MB, then you have to replace this with either another song or probably pictures equivalent to or more than 4.2 MB. So in essence, the files your downloaded are not free. The payment just happened in a barter system, not monetary system.

Also, be aware that P2P networks often have many viruses and spyware and it is not advisable to download psp games from P2P. Some of the files are corrupted and can´t be downloaded as well.

The best alternative to downloading free PSP games is to join paid PSP games download membership sites. These membership sites allow you to download unlimited PSP games for a one time fee. Besides PSP games, you can also download PSP movies, videos and much more.

Although you need to pay for access to PSP membership sites, the cost is reasonable and you are guaranteed quality PSP games and movies download. In the long run, it only comes to a few cents per PSP game download.

Discover the best site to get free PSP games downloads. Learn how to get PSP free game downloads.

Safe Downloads for Nintendo Wii

Gamers and casual players are excited about a revolution created by Nintendo, namely the Nintendo Wii. Débuting way back in 2006, the Wii has risen to the top of the heap.  Unless you live on Mars, you know exactly the console to which I am referring.

Security issues of game down-loads are on the minds of many Wii gamers, the internet provides a lot of resources and that includes game down loads. But down loading games from the internet can be risky in many ways. Their concerns are justified.

I’m sure you’ve searched for Wii games online using search engines. You probably gathered thousands of search results, right? Security problems arise because you can't easily tell the good sites from the bad ones. If you've regularly download from the internet, you know by now that some websites contain viruses that can infect your computer or your Wii console. Other site pages can even steal personal information especially if you haven't checked if the page is encrypted or not. You must therefore be very careful in choosing the websites that you visit.

The ability to turn your Wii into a total entertainment system at home is possible with so many potentially cool downloads. You can actually download the latest game releases as well as retro games. Provided you find an honest website. A good thing about the Nintendo Wii is that it accepts other media and so you can also download TV shows, music, etc.

Membership sites are an excellent option. Once you pay a one-time fee, you can download all the games, music, and TV shows you like with no limit. Plus with a good membership site, you can be sure that the games are free from harmful viruses or spyware that can damage your Wii. Now, you don't have to buy new games because you can download them for free.

Locating a good member website can be a daunting task. One option is to ask fellow gamers in forums because they probably know reliable sites that you can investigate. You could also visit Nintendo's website because they have helpful information there.  Be cautious, but most of all, have fun.

The Ultimate Guide to be a World of Warcraft Shaman

In the real world, a shaman is a believer of the spiritual world. In the World of Warcraft, the character Shaman is an integral member of any group that possesses great power and incredible skills. If you are thinking of choosing this character, then continue to read this guide on how to become a great WoW Shaman.

It is important that you remember when you start as a Shaman, make sure that your skills match the shaman class and that you join a group that needs a shaman. Make sure that you join a group that needs a shaman. When in a group, their abilities are a must and and can contribute more strength to the whole group.

Getting Started as a Shaman

This class is limited when starting out, for example, only the Dranei can be a Shaman for the Alliance. For the Horde, you'll only have Orc, Trolls, the Undead or Tauren. This means you have to deal with these races' weaknesses, but you'll also enjoy the benefits of using them.

Shamans use their mana points to cast some spells. It is best to approach moderately, avoiding utilizing too much or too little. It is advised to use your mana in a medium scale, just when it is really needed. When not used with caution, you either waste time trying to regenerate or lose much needed health points.

Shamans are known for their healing skills, that is why you must try to build up your spell arsenal, your ranged weapons and most specially, your healing spells. Since you are working with a group, you have to be always ready with your healing spells and potions, to assure the group of your importance.

How to pick a Shaman profession

Physically demanding professions ( blacksmith, leatherworker) are not ideal for this class. I would suggest professions such as Enchanting and Herbalism. Although Skinning also has its own strengths, it can only be useful up to a minimal extent. It’s also suggested that you look for the right combination of primary and secondary professions.

The two recommended professions above are the best, but you could also opt to mix alchemy with herbalism or enchanting and alchemy. You can mix alchemy with herbalism and enchanting with alchemy. Others think that mining (as secondary profession) will help you get items, but it actually wastes your extra time in the game.

Make potions if you want to make money. If you want to be successful at your chosen profession, spare a good quality of time in mastering your skills by formulating and new potions and useful spells.

A tailoring profession may be useful, but not really ideal, for gamers most likely purchase their armors. You can only use leather armor when you get to level 40 anyway and it's very affordable. A lot of quests along the way could also carry pieces of armor as rewards for you. So it would be a good idea to focus your attention on professions that work as a revenue stream and that gives earns you more skills for the grou.

For information about using Totems, putting it all together and more, check out this WoW Shaman Guide.

Where To Download PSP Games Direct?

There are a few websites that offers free psp games download. However, I would not recommend downloading PSP games from these sites. One reason is because most of the files are corrupted or incomplete.

Some of the files are also infected with viruses and spyware and can cause a lot of problems for your computer. Some files are not even PSP games. Usually, downloaded PSP games files end with a cso or iso extension. Those without these extensions cannot be played on the PSP.

Well. According to a chief staff member at Nintendo. They may not be too far off. When the Wii was developed, only the designing software was enhanced. Translation, all Game-cube games can still be used with the Wii operating system.

The above information is well known, but Wii gamers seem to have forgotten about it. Another stupid story is the Wii is nothing more but a re-packaged Game-cube. Let it rest, forget about the arguments regarding hardware details, and leave that to the developers.

Buying an XBox 360 For Sale Cheap

With all the gaming systems available these days it's hard not to consider the XBox 360 if you're in the market for one. Of course, it wouldn't be Microsoft if they didn't offer more than one type of system and the entry-level model is the XBox 360 Arcade version. While it only comes with 4 or 5 basic arcade games the unit is capable of playing all XBox 360 games. The memory on this one is fairly low at 256MB but it does come with a wireless controller. This unit comes with virually no accessories, not even a second controller, but let's you get started with the system and add-on as you see fit.

For an extra $100 you can move up to the XBox 360 Console unit. The extra $100 you'll spend here gets you significantly more storage, the standard wireless controller and a wireless headset as well. If you want a complete gaming system with games that are a little more than the arcade style, this one might be the one for you.

If you are looking for the ultimate gaming experience in an Xbox, the Xbox 360 Elite Console could be a great choice. It comes with a gigantic 120GB hard drive! They make it with a sleek black designer finish so it looks really sharp. Other included options are a network cable, HDMI cable and black controller and headset.

The pricing on the Xbox 360 can be somewhat expensive if you buy them from a retailer. You're looking at $200 for the Arcade version, $300 for the Console and $400 for the Elite. Can you imagine explaining to your family that you can afford an XBox but not gas to fill up the car? If you want to get an XBox 360 for sale cheap you'll need to shop around. Don't think you can only buy them at big box store and on Ebay. Go to www.auctions4acause.com and you'll find them auctioned off all the time for as low as $9.94. This site has really been a gold nugget for me as it's saved me a bunch of cash. Don't let the opportunity pass you by!

Another alternative to downloading free psp movies is through P2P sites. P2P stands for peer to peer and it allows millions of users worldwide to share and download files online. However, I would not recommend this option as viruses and spyware are common on P2P networks. The files are also of unknown quality and origin. Some files are corrupted and the download speeds are usually quite slow.

A Video Game Environment of Your Own

Creating a Gaming Environment That Rocks

Are you someone who dreams about creating their own video gaming room? A place where you and your friends could spend hours and hours playing your favorite games without interruption. A place that you can really go to be engrossed in playing the game. You can create your own video gaming place, relatively easy and you don’t need to rent a large room somewhere. This article will introduce a few ideas you can use to build the ultimate gaming center.

First, you need to make sure any other family members are ’ok’ with the idea, this will help bring a more positive overall atmosphere to the home. It’s not very fun playing a game of Halo 2 or WOW with kids running around the house, screaming or crying. You won’t be able to enjoy the latest role-playing game when the wife’s nagging you about bills or undone chores too. Keeping a happy home and marriage it important, and it will make your time playing video games more like a welcomed escape, from the pressures of reality.

Still, trying to figure out getting to the next game level can take a lot of time and focus, and it is during these times that you certainly do not want to be interrupted and loose the ground you have gained. This is no time to be distracted and if home life isn’t what it could be, you’ll never be able to concentrate on your game. Strive to make home a place to unwind first - then work on enjoying your games.

You can next dedicate a place in your home as your exclusive video game room. This will not only emphasize the importance that gaming is to you, it will also become conducive to the mentality that you need to play a fun and relaxing, albeit, serious game. Without spending too much money, since this is your gaming room, you should decorate it to reflect your personality. You could add a recliner (or two for your friends), a small stand to hold snacks, a bookcase for your games, and you could even add a small refrigerator and microwave (just in case). This can be your favorite room in the house, so make it one that you will enjoy spending a lot of time in.

Your new gaming space should be a reflection of you and it is important to keep it well maintained, in a condition that is welcoming to your guests and your family members. Keep your equipment and games clean. Take care to keep wires from tangling and organize your magazine subscriptions, books, or Internet cheat sheet printouts. As you keep up on it daily, then it is not an overwhelming task that you have to do every week. The advantages of keeping a regular maintenance schedule shows that this space is important to you and that you have a right to keep it that way.

But take special care not to alienate yourself from the rest of your family. Most people have a favorite hobby and will usually use a room or place within the home to keep the things that are associated with it. Gamers, need to have a place to play that is set aside just for them, but they need to make sure not to turn it into some type of ’hide out’ from the rest of the family. It’s not an area to hide from the kids, it’s not a place to shun home responsibilities, and it’s not a place to live. People that tend to do this, quickly find it becomes a source of contention in the home, causing family members resentment or even depression. Be careful, schedule time with the family, and enter your video playroom at appropriate times. You will see your family responding to this and they will begin to not resent your time playing games, because they know they are important to you.

Fishy things in World of Warcraft Fishing Guide

I have decided to come up with this World of Warcraft fishing guide in order to guide and teach you how to level up as easily and quickly as possible. I have not covered what probably is unnecessary and a waste of time.

Knowing that I'm going to teach fishing in this World of Warcraft Fishing Guide, I've also included some cooking skills, since they are companion skills and may be learned at the same time.

This guide will take place in 15 hours, or 11 if you are fast.

Why does your skill rate change

A player’s skill rate increases due to the number of successful catches he makes.

Here is the fairly accurate equation:

(current unmodified fishing level - 25) / 25 = # of fish needed to level, assuming that there's a minimum number of fish per catch.

You should be conscious that your skill rate changes depending on the number of successful catches that you make. It only quite depends on the number of successful catches you make.

WoW Fishing Guide - Horde

1. Start at Bloodhoof Village in Mulgore.

2. Speak to Harn Longcast, and purchase the recipes Billiant Smallfish and Longjaw Mud Snapper.

3. After that, you must go to Stonebull Lake where you may begin fishing.

4. Equip your rod, and afterwards, apply the shiny bauble as a bait. This makes fishing a lot easier!

5. Spend approximately 40 minutes in catching 60 Brilliant Smallfish.

6. After those 40 odd minutes, you should have also caught about 30 Longjaw Mud Snappers. Once you have 60 of them already, proceed to cooking them. You can return to Harn Longcast and use his fire, or spark your own.

7. Cook Brilliant Smallfish.

8. You may begin cooking the Longjaw Mud Snappers upon reaching level 50.

9. Then, start catching Longjaw Mud Snappers in the pond in Orgrimmar. I suggest that when you get there, stay where you are because the drop rate is better in Orgrimmar.

10. Learn journeyman cooking and fishing somewhere between the levels 50 and 70.

11. To be able to raise your cooking rate up to 100, catch at least 30 Longjaw Mud Snappers.

12. Head to Tarren Mill in Hillsbrad. See the Derak Nightfall and buy the Bristle Whisker Catfish recipe.

13. In order to get your cooking level up to 175, you will need about 80-100 of these.

14. Between levels 125 and 150, go to Shadowprey Village in Desolace and purchase Expert Cookbook.

15. Then, go to Booty Bay and purchase a book needed for your fishing level. Talk to an old man heming and buy again his Expert Fishing book.

16. Once you reach 175 cooking, go to Shadowprey Village in Desolace.

17. Speak to Wulan and purchase Mithril Head Trout recipe, then begin fishing at the pier.

18. For you to raise your cooking level up to 225, you must get about 60 of these.

You should have raised your level in fishing and cooking to 225 after following these 18 steps. This is the farthest you could reach if you have not gone up to level 35 just yet. But if likewise, you will have 2 quests to complete before continuing.

Quest 1 - cooking, and quest 2 - fishing

WoW Shaman Guide

In the real word, a shaman is a believer of the spiritual world. In the World of Warcraft, the character Shaman is an integral member of any group that possesses great power and incredible skills. If you are thinking of choosing this character, then continue to read for a guide on how to become a great Shaman.

It is important that you remember when you start as a Shaman, make sure that your skills match the shaman class and that you join a group that needs a shaman. Finding a group that is in need of a Shaman or making sure that your own skills match well with this type of class is one of the most important things you should take a look at first before you start using the Shaman. On his own, a shaman may not hold up against enemies, but with a group, he can be a great asset.

Getting Started as a Shaman

I must tell you that the race of character for this class is quite limited. Only the Dranei can be Shaman for the Alliance, and the Orc, Trolls, the Undead or Tauren for the Horde. If you are on the Horde side, only the Trolls, Orc, the Undead or Taurean can qualify to be a Shaman. Even though, you should not take its weak points for granted, for they may be useful in the long run.

Every moment you cast a spell, your mana points suffer. Your goal is to use your mana points wisely by using moderate approach, not using too much nor too little. It is best to approach moderately, avoiding utilizing too much or too little. It’s best to be moderate about it, not using too much or too little, to achieve more success in using this class. Otherwise, you’ll either spend most of your time regenerating or losing health points.

Shamans are known for their healing skills, that is why you must try to build up your spell arsenal, your ranged weapons and most specially, your healing spells. Since you are working with a group, you have to be always ready with your healing spells and potions, to assure the group of your importance.

Choosing a Shaman Profession

I would suggest professions such as Enchanting and Herbalism rather than leatherworking or blacksmithing, as the first two are the most appropriate professions for this class. The best profession for Shamans are herbalism and enchanting. Skinning could be another facet but only to a small degree. It’s also suggested that you look for the right combination of primary and secondary professions.

You may consider herbalism and enchanting as you primary and secondary professions. Nevertheless, combining alchemy and herbalism or enchanting plus alchemy is not a bad idea. Others think that mining (as secondary profession) will help you get items, but it actually wastes your extra time in the game.







If you wish to create money, mixing potions is by far the best business for a Shaman. Potions are usually in high on demand and you could always have them for yourself. Devote more time on because this will help you to increase in skill and create more powerful spells and potions that will earn you more money and acclaim.

Although a tailoring profession can also be useful, most players like to purchase their own armor only when they need it. Do not worry; for leather armors are available at Level 40 at an available price. During the journey, pieces of armors are given away as rewards. Therefore, choose a profession that will help you develop your skills for your group.

Please check out the second page of this World of warcraft Shaman Guide: WoW Shaman Guide for more tips and informations on how to make use of Totems.

I hope this WoW palidijn guide answered all you queries about the game. I highly recommend that you sign up to our free mini course which is a quick guide to Levelling from 1-75 in World of Warcraft.

Download Free Music PSP Video – Download PSP Music For PSP

It has always been said that nothing in this world is free except for the air we breathe. The reason for this is that all people want profits. This is also applicable in many websites misleading people to download free music PSP video.

You will be lucky if the content of such files are not viruses. There are a lot of free PSP downloading websites whose content are pure garbage. They claim to offer as much freebies as they can but in reality, these websites only function as advertising areas for their affiliate programs.

So how do you download free music PSP video? Well, there are several options. The first is to join a network called peer-to-peer or P2P. You need to install a P2P software on your computer so you can get files from other people´s computers. The concept of peer-to-peer file sharing is that people all over the world will upload and download different kinds of files-videos, Mp3s, documents, pictures—for free.

In some cases, what they do is to have quotas or regulations per byte to avoid parasitism. For example, one person can only download files whose equivalent sizes that of the files he has uploaded or shared. Another important point is the download speeds may vary and if the PSP file is not popular, it can be difficult to download the PSP music videos.

Another alternative is to join a PSP music video download service or site. These PSP download sites allows you to download unlimited PSP music videos, games and movies for a one time fee. The download speeds are faster and the PSP music video files are authentic.

I highly recommend the last option to download free PSP music video. You can download legitimate psp music videos for a one time fee and there are no download limits

Xbox 360 Accessories: Buying Quality

If you own an Xbox 360, you know that there are many option for accessories out there. Whether you need controllers, faceplates, wireless accessories, or any other of the myriad types of controllers on the market, you're sure to find the whole process confusing over time. How can you find the best Xbox 360 accessories without wasting your time and money?

The first thing to keep in mind is that first party accessories are generally much higher in quality than third part offerings. Though buying third party might seem like a great way to save on accessories, the quality is very much lower most of the time. However, there are many exceptions to this rule.

One exception to this rule are special, custom modified controllers that allow you to do things like rapid fire. These will work well if they have been made by a hobbiest of good repute.

Another area where you can often go third party is network gear. You don't need to purchase the expensive Microsoft components when the stuff from Linksys and Netgear will do a great job by themselves. Check into if you have a hard network to setup.

Also, special controllers, such as the Guitar Hero ones, are inherently third party. You can't get a Microsoft made controller for these games, so replacements will always be third party.

Cosmetic components such as faceplates are also commonly sold by third part accessory makers. Since these parts don't have any real function, feel free to buy whatever you think looks cool.

If you choose to buy used accessories, be sure to check and see how much use they've seen. Controllers and other accessories can become non-functional with repeated use and wear. Many of these used controllers will have intermittent issues, which means they sometimes, but not always, work. Of course, we all know that the times they don't work will be your most important game times. This is Murphy's Law.

Overall, the second generation Xbox has proven quite a hot seller for Microsoft. All the best consoles have many accessories to choose from, and the Xbox 360 is certainly among them. Remember, though, that the Microsoft brands of most accessories will be the way to go, even if they do cost you a little more. You can minimize this cost by shopping at online stores devoted to selling Xbox 360 accessories. If you want the best gaming experience possible, you should be sure to invest in good accessories. Thanks for reading.

The World of Warcraft Leveling Guide

How you level up depends on the type of character you are playing and the faction you're on: Alliance or Horde. In this World of Warcraft leveling guide, we are to tackle taking your Human character progress from level 1 to 30 in the Alliance. Although a few of these tips may also work for the other races, you might opt to look for other information for some of the quests you would embark on.

How to begin

After setting up your game, you’re now on level 1, ready to get started. Firstly, you’ll start in a place called Elwynn Forest in the North Shire Glade. It is always advisable to acquaint yourself a bit with the area. You can now see a bunch of wolves running around.Just kill them and keep going at it and next thing you know, you’re already level 3.

Easy, right?

While at level 3, this is the perfect opportunity to equip some new armor for yourself and also to repair any damage. This will come to you easily much later. After doing this, you are now ready to begin your first real quest. But before that, you have to select the quest, choose A Threat Within, then the follow-up called Kobold Camp Cleanup. When you have completed your quests, you would be geared up to face two more quests, Eagen Peltskinner and Wolves Across the Border.

To reach level four, you may need to face a few more wolves until you have earned for yourself up to 8 Though Wolf Meat items. Grind the Kobold Workers in the area to quickly go to level 4. When you are there, you must accept each quests offered to you one by one. Grind the Kobold Workers in the area to quickly go to level 5.

Completing the succeeding seven quests will enable you to advance to level 7. They are all fairly easy and would not take at least a few hours for you to complete. You should always remember to grind on every chance you can to quickly level up.

To jump from level seven to thirty is quite a fast-paced travail. Just take on all offered quests and turn them in to get the follow-ups. Add to this, you could also grind to enhance your score and to garner more experience points. But you're gonna need some specific items to level up faster. Read on to find out what these items are.

These are the items that you must absolutely have

Level Six – North Shire Valley

After killing the Defias Thug, collect the 12 red burlap bandanas.

Search for Gerrick Padfoot. Find and kill Gerrick Padfoot, then loot his head.

Level 7 – Goldshire

Kill the Stonetusk Boars until you have 4 pieces of meat.

Search for Goldtooth. Loot the special item named Bernice’s necklace.

Level Eight – Goldshire

The Gnome’s workshop in the Operation Recombobulation Quest has a special chest that you must look for. you would need to find a special chest in the Gnome’s workshop. Find and take the special chest.

Level 9 – Yeti Cave

Grind the Yetis until you have collected at least eight Wendigo’s Manes.

Return and find the gnomes. Begin grinding until you gather eight Restabilization Cogs and eight Gyromechanic Gears.

Level Ten

Find Frosmane Hold, kill everything in sight, find the cave in the mountain above you. Find and take the basket of Shimmerweed located inside. Go inside and take the basket.

If you want to level up faster, you have got to get these items. Check that you be able to see them in each level. Good luck!

The Wii and Unique Bid Aucion Sites

If you're not a hermit living somewhere in the mountains in a cave then you've heard of the Nintendo Wii. Even though it's been hard to find during the Christmas holiday it is a top seller. You can really burn some calories playing certain games too.

You think I'm kidding about getting your exercise? "How?", you ask? Imagine actually bowling and the body movements required - the game makes you do the very same movements in order to play. There are a plethora of games like Olympics, Bowling and boxing that make you move the controller. It's much more than just tapping some buttons on a controller. You are required to move the controller or stomp on a pad to play some games. The selection of games is growing and they still have the ever-popular Mario franchise. They also have a unique option called the FIT that lets you monitor your health
(rudimentary).

Everybody seems to be on the lookout for a cheap ninteno wii. Like I said earlier, they are difficult to find even at full price. You could go to Best Buy and see if they have any in stock or, take my suggestion and check out a unique bid auction site. I recommend www.auctions4acause.com where you can find a cheap ninteno Wii among many other gadgets.

Believe it or not you could pick up one of these gaming systems for less than $10. With just one bid of $9.94 you could score a cheap ninteno wii. There you have it...you could own a Wii for less than 10 bucks. Heck, even if you bid 5 times you could win it for less than $50.

A bit more info on the Wii compared to the others: My only gripe is that it does not support HD. The graphics are stil good but in the long run they just don't compare to the PS3 or XBox 360 which both support HD.

In the end your search is over for a cheap ninteno wii. Just check out www.auctions4acause.com
