//Warhammer 1.3.2 patch is coming

Soooo..I know that I have been gone for awhile but I'm back and playing the game a lot more now than before. Reason being, the previous patch took out a lot of unnecessary CC's that had crippled the game. Now, I can actually live for longer than 5 seconds without seeing the "you are disabled, you are disabled" text repeating and then I get knocked down. I purchased a skill that blocks CC's for 10 sec with Renown points and it seems to help as well.

I am Currently Level 40 Renown 48 DoK and I have nearly the entire Conqueror set, sans the chest piece. Destro always avoided forts, but lately they have been doing it even though we wipe 90% of the time. I think it's good that Mythic is taking out forts. Forts are awful and bugged to heck. One ramp with a sh*t ton of NPCs that run everywhere. If we ever win at forts, it's cuz Order doesn't show up to defend and that is a rare occasion.

So, Patch 1.3.2 should be coming in soon along with the daemon moon event. I'm still waiting for Bright Wizards to be nerfed though. I die less now to them but if there's a lot, it is problematic for us.

Here's a link to my gear set up

Here's an embarrasing picture..

I'm still here, killing order

Hey Guys.. sorry for the loooong delay. Work has been pretty crazy for me and I haven't had much free time to post. I resubbed Warhammer for another 3 months in hopes it will get better. I hit level 40 a few weeks ago too..I've been working on getting the rest of my conq/invader gear and trying to push forts. I have yet to see the Order city Altdorf, but I've been in plenty of IC defense parties.

Can't wait for the wild hunt event.. LOTD is getting boring for me cuz no one is doing runs for the lairs. Think we really need to have a 3rd faction and rest of the captial cities to spice things up more. I'm also thinking of resetting my skill tree to pure Melee cuz i'm sick and tired of ppl complaining about not getting heals. >.< Right now I'm half Melee and half healer spec.

So...no one got the joke I guess.

Official Forums Post: Proof that Mythic Favors Order

I guess my post is more trolling than helpful but I thought it would be funny to point that out since the login screen does to go Order's side first. ;p Anyway, I LOL'd.

//Warhammer - Land of the Dead

//Beyond the Sands...

In the land of scorching heat and swirling sands, the undead pharaohs await in their trap laden tombs for unsuspecting victims.

I logged on last night and got a taste of the new LoTD zone that was added on Monday. Destruction had access to the zone at the time so I lucked out. First Impression was it looked dazzling. I really like how much effort they put into the design of the place and it's a huge contrast to the other existing zones. I started out trying to cross the river in the middle but ended up drowning because the river was filled with poison. Note to self, avoid the purple river. My Guild started doing the PQ in front of the Largest Pyramid, I ferget what it's called but it looked like "necropolis of STFU" but it's actually SETFU or something. Friggen HUGE skeleton of the undead Pharaoh came out to stomp on us. Apparently the only way to defeat it is if you pull it and fight it on the "glyphs" stones on the floor. Tricky, huh? It didn't help that some Order bursted out of the temple to attack us but we rolled them since there was a huge Zerg of Destruction in LotD, must have been between 500-1000 people in the zone.



So after doing that and being stuck in the Pyramid door for about 15 min, we were inside the Pyramid lair instance. The lairs are filled with booby traps, ala Indiana Jones so you have to figure out how to disable them. There was a hallway filled with swinging sharp axes that you have to run thru and if you get it, it's an insta-death.
All the sudden we got booted from the instance. I don't know why but some people rage-quited the WB due to it.



Anyhoo, so the premise of getting access to the lairs are that you need to have specific glyphs that you earn from doing certain PQ's. You can check your tome of Knowledge for that. There are 2 annoying PQ's that are mobile, so you need to track them down. You can earn 'scarab' currency from drops to trade in for amazing gear. I already got myself a Blue named Chalice and an Egyptian Trophy.



When the opposite faction unlocks the LoTD, you have to get back to your WC asap cuz if you die and release, you will be sent back to your capital city. So you'll need to get back to the WC asap to defend against the invaders.

and..that is my first look at the LotD. More later!

//Warhammer - Iron Rock Server

Yea so, we lost the LOTD live event to Order.

I have been disappointed with ORVR as of late. Order outnumbers us in TIV by many so it seems like the zerg always wins in this game. I die nearly instantly from BW's and WH's. No one listens and there is a huge lack of organization in warbands. Last night around midnight, Order attacked Inevitable City and people were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Plus, during the last stage of the PQ, there was a bug with the Lieutenant/Lord's guards and they kept despawning if they were pulled out too far. Everyone kept pulling them too far and they'd despawn even though the leader was telling people to not stray too far. To make things worse, we all got booted out to the maw when the gold chest popped. So no one got their bags of lewt.

Destro: Faaty
This guy robbed us of many items in our guild vault. He also did the same to other guilds. Beware of him.

Order: Jaycub
This guy is a KOTBS and while he may be a good at his class, he could use better tact. He spams emotes at the person he kills and seems like a real jerk.

Warhammer Online - Age of Crafting

// Scavenging and Talisman making 101

I didn't pick up crafting until I was level 30, out of sheer laziness and ignorance. It however is very useful and brings in some income for us RVR'ers who spend a lot of money on gear, medical healing and traveling. I chose the pairing of Scavenging and Talisman making since it seems to go hand-in-hand. At first was confusing to me, since I didn't even know where to start, so I thought writing a guide would be helpful for those interested in crafting. There are crafting NPC's are located in Inevitable City (Destruction).

Scavenging NPCS: Lorne Foulsteel & Diedrick Goedbloed - Inevitable City, Map Markers: 17575, 24323

Talisman NPC: Dripnose Shinymaka - Da War Maker

From then on, you will be able to collect items from corpses from PVE or RVR. Simply loot the corpse first then a cursor that looks like pliers will appear and you can scavenge the corpse. There are 5 types of items you can get and they should appear in your "new" crafting bags post patch 1.3. To start, go to your abilities panel, to the last page and click the Talisman making icon. You need to drag and drop the a container into the slot first in order to begin. Then drag the rest of the items into the appropriate slot and then click "fuse" to craft the talisman. When you first start off, the talismans are very weak and only last for a certain amount of time, i.E. 8 hours, but as you level your skill, the power of the talismans will increase. If you need to buy any items, there are crafting NPC's located near the AH and also the Camp Merchant near the crafting NPC's sells them too.

Relic boxes:
Container to hold the talisman

Fragments:
Various items collected and are the base of the Talisman power, NPC's don't carry much, if any of these.

Curios:
They are usally coins, watches and the "odd" items that you will scavenge

Essence:
Magical Essence that can be bought from the NPC or looted

Gold Dust:
Gold Dust can be bought from NPC's or looted.

Once you start collecting materials, your bags will be full often so it's best to keep everything organized by level and type. Have fun!

Warhammer Blog Challenge, The Answer!

Warhammer Solve the Hieroglyphic Codes Blog Challenge

Quick! The amount of free scarab pets are going fast!
There are still some available for the code of LUTIMHUTT / LUTIMKHUTT (Massively.com's Cartouche).

Kotaku.com = XEMAN_OBEK
I think the Kotaku one is still borked, missing something in-between, could be a conjunction of 2 letters, as it is possible in the Egyptian Language.

MMORPG.com = DJHADTUMNA but all the codes are gone already.


There are still 2 more cartouches/Rossetta stones yet to be revealed. Enter the codes after you log into the account center on the warhammeronline site.
Good luck!!!
