Sethekk Halls

Last night we did the Sethekk Halls instance, which is part of the Auchindoun dungeon. This group of instances are for level 65 and up, and include Mana Tombs, Auchenai Crypts. You can find this dungeon in Outland's Terokaar Forest.

Here is a screenshot of our group getting ready at the summoning stone at Auchindoun about to enter Sethekk Halls.



This can be a challenging instance or an easy one depending on your group, however crowd control is a must and having a good group is a must. Many of the fights include multiple mob pulls and can cause wipes. Watch out for the exploding ghosts! Some of the monsters in Sethekk Halls release a slow moving, but deadly ghost. You cannot kill them, just avoid them before they explode!

The final boss is Talon King Ikiss.

Black War Raptor

The Black War Raptor is a PVP mount, meaning it can only be obtained after taking part in the Battlegrounds available in World of Warcraft. The cost is 30 of the following marks of honor: Alterac Valley, Arathi Basin, and Warsong Gulch.

Now that mounts no longer take up an item slot in your backpack or bank, I have started my pet and mount collection!

Here is a screenshot of me and my Black War Raptor sitting in Undercity, waiting to go fight the Headless Horseman.



Until recently, each mount you had would take up a slot in your backpack or bank, but now when you acquire a mount it is added to your mount collection and you can keep more to ride!

WOTLK Login Screen

it is time to say goodbye to the old WOW Login Screen. I know I will personally miss the old Dark Portal image Burning Crusade login screen. For historical purposes I have archived the login screen here.

Here is the screenshot of the new Wrath of the Lich King login screen that is quite different from the previous.



As someone who plays a Frost Mage, I anticipate the coming icy continent of Northrend, although I am certain the entire zone will not be "frozen." I like the blue and the "cold" tones used to portray the new lands and zones in the WOTLK expansion pack.

Players are preparing for the new level 70 to level 80 grind, and who will be the first to defeat the new dungeon bosses that await us in WOTLK?

All races and classes will see changes to their talent tree, and there could not be a better time to be playing WOW right now.

Pirate Costume

Harrrgghh! Last night I was out in the Shadowmoon Valley gathering some herbs for some potions. I got zapped by the "Pirate Costume" magic wand a group member was holding, and *poof* I became a pirate.

Here is a screenshot of my Undead Mage in pirate costume.



The Halloween stuff in World of Warcraft keeps it fun, during one of our favorite holidays, Hallow's End!

Headless Horseman

When I first started playing World of Warcraft, I saw people asking for player groups to form to do the "Headless Horseman" quest, and I wanted to take part in the quest so badly! But the Headless Horseman is a level 70 quest and I was not able to do it at the time. But this year, I can do it!

Here is the screenshot from last night: Fighting the Headless Horseman



The Headless Horseman can be a tought fight, or an easy one, depending on the ability of the group of players. If your group can manage to outlive his waves of attacks and rejuvenation tactics, you will be able to defeat the Headless Horseman. You are only able to summon him once a day, and only during Hallow's End.

Magic Broom

We are still doing the Hallow's End quests right now and trying to get the Headless Horseman mount, but so far no luck on that one. I did get the magic broom last night, finally. And am now flying around in style on my own magic broom, these things are fast!



We are going to do the "Call the Headless Horseman" quest tonight and keep trying for the flying mount. Check back to see if we are lucky and get it! At least this will keep us bust for a few more days, while we wait for Wrath of the Lich King to come out!

Hallow's End 2008

Last night we did the Headless Horseman Hallow's End 2008 quests, and we had a lot of fun! Here is the Pumpkinhead Frost Mage getting ready to head on over to the Scarlet Monastery. Before you fight the Headless Horseman you have to put out the fires in Brill...



We are so excited about Wrath of the Lich King. Are you doing the Hallow's End 2008 quests?

Creating New Characters

Creating new charachters is easy in World of Warcraft and you may find you create a few before you fin the one you like to play most often. With the Burning Crusade expansion you can now be a Blood Elf. Simply choose the race and class, pick a name, and login to play. You can play as an Orc, Gnome, or a Night Elf, and even the Undead.
