    Progress marches onward

    Last night was raid night once again; this time, we piled back into Kara and one-by-one knocked down Nightbane, Attumen, and Netherspite. None of them dropped anything I can really use now; some of the stuff wouldn’t be bad (in particular, Nightstaff of the Everliving...

    On trying to raid pre-Wrath

    Big ups to Bellwether of 4Haelz for doing a series on reason to get into raiding before Wrath. I’d been thinking of looking into joining a guild, and really still am, but let’s face it – I’ve never even been into Karazhan, the odds of...
