Artwork!

I was browsing DeviantArt as I do and I came across this AMAZING artwork.

It is so simple but it really captures the main features of Taurens. For some reason I just feel so drawn to this image. It makes me want to race change my Troll. Ive always loved Tauren, but Troll & Orc are better for their racial abilities (being a hunter).

There is just enough features to make this image appealing to look at but still holds the simplicity really well. It truly is a great piece of art and I wish I could generate my art this well! I think I have found my new desktop image!

Screenshot Sunday!

I was in Ulduar finishing up some old non-meta achievements and Raggaz, Boff & I were upto Freya. That fight can be annoyingly long if your trying for non-meta achieves! Anyway, one of the achievements is to kill all of those elder tree guys (mini bosses) within a certain time limit of each other (15 seconds). This achievement is relatively easy as long as you arent stun locked & the roots arent glitching!

Anyway, my Direhorn Mount is just my default ground mount on my action bar, we mounted up & split into three directions to all pull the treemans. When I mounted I just thought my Direhorn looked at home in this area and decided to capture the moment. If real life was like WoW, and dinosaurs wernt extinct, I would love to be able to stroll through a forest like this and see a horde of peaceful Direhorns grazing away!

I've fallen in love with this particular screenshot (pictured above) and have decided to make it my new facebook banner. If you havent already check out the official Achievement Hunter facebook and share some love! https://www.facebook.com/LilaAchievementHunter

Do you have some screenies from raids that you've fallen in love with? I would love to see them!

Flashback Friday

This was my guilds first Lich King encounter back when I was alliance, the guild went through many stages of names, Immortalis > Razors Edge > Bound by Blood as we had a lot of problems with trolls ruining our reputation! I really do miss these crazy hooligans! There are so many amazing memories with these absolutely gorgeous people. I would have to say that this group in particular will always hold a special place in my heart, not only because this was my first successful guild (when I was about 14) but because I couldnt have asked for a friendlier and welcoming group.

This group was like family, we raided together, but we also practically lived together. We pvp'd,  quested, achievement hunted and some of us even studied and helped each other with homework. Sometimes I regret taking my 6 month break and changing servers & factions. Ive never quite enjoyed WoW the same.


Its a true shame that I have lost contact with all of these people, and I hope that somehow this post will reach them and we will be able to get back in contact with each other!

Transmog Tuesday + other things! (Catch up!)

I've been under the pump with work this week so I didn't have time to blog! So this is a catch-up post and I will post my Flashback Friday later tonight ^_^

First things first I MISSED THE TRANSMOG TUESDAY! D:

So, one of my favourite transmogs of all time, one of the first available sets to players who could wear mail: The Battleforged Set!



Absolutely stunning with its yellow and red features and it was one of my first sets I ever collected, back in Vanilla when you couldn't 'transmog' and if you were wearing something awesome looking and standing around in the main cities, people would flock to you like wildfire and share some /love.

Of course I only had a level 40 Warrior through vanilla since I was a very lazy leveller and had around 15 characters all under level 20, (still have no idea how to play anything but hunters and priests btw).

Yes warriors were plate wearers (once you paid for the training!) but were mail wearers until you hit level 40, being a lazy leveller and having no gold I was stuck in the mail gear, making the bloodforged set perfect for me since I also spent most of my time talking to people in the cities!

My mum was very kind and let me use her level 60 warrior when she was working to farm, and the greatest part about this gear, is that it is BOE! Yay, so you can farm it on your quickest farming toon and mail the loots to the toon you would like it on, of course you could use it as a money maker aswell, some parts of the transmog drop way less often and depending on your server, some of the gear will sell for a mint! (Particularly on RP servers)

Now for the downside, Its a BOE World drop with its most likely drop being 8% from a rare elite which we all know can have respawn timers of hours! It drops from random creatures of level 25-30, so maybe you would prefer the AH Farming option.

It cost me about 10 gold to collect the entire set on my level 40 warrior throughout Vanilla & BC but now that I am horde and on a different server I wanted to get the gear on gorgeous hunter! (Which I wish was still a draenei for transmog reasons) The chest piece alone cost 45gold!!! Sorry but id rather get the chest through farming & sell all the goodies aswell!


So thats the Transmog Tuesday!
Now on to my other ramblings!


So I was browsing my Facebook News Feed and found some exciting images posted on one of my favourite clay crafters page! Screenshots from the Beta!! And I just could not wait for Screenshot Sunday to share them with you!!!

Is this not just one of the most beautiful sceneries in the WoW world? I am a huge sucker for nature filled areas, especially ones that are quite green, example Nagrand! Ive never been a huge fan for the dark swampy areas. But this artwork is making me quite excited for the swamp areas! ALSO my favourite clay crafter is a hunter and I am excited to share this next screenshot of her taming a gorgeous pile of goo & rocks!



Does anyone know what this is? I do ^_^ and I am super excited to announce that you do not need to be a Beast Master to tame this lovely creature! He looks rather exotic and is the size of a Direhorn Mount! (I wonder if they will fix that before warlords is released, on one hand I like the idea of a big kickass beast, on the other I can see all hunters running around with these and getting in the way!)

I might just wait until Screenshot Sunday to show you what this beast really is! Any guesses?

The adventures for today!

So for the most part of the day I spent my time working on two new videos for youtube, Part 1 & 2 of the Mount Parade guide are officially finished! Yay! Just need to upload! Can't say i'm overly thrilled about the content in them but the future parts will be much more exciting now that the boring class mounts part is over!

Raggaz and I derped around in ICC25 for a bit and bugged the lich king! oops!

ALSO I GOT THE BLOG STARTED!!!! About time too!

+ I started my PVP set by purchasing the shoulders! Time to derp around in the BGs before I retire for the night!
