New LFR Opens today, boss previews.

These are PTR previews and not complete raid guides, but they should be sufficient for learning what you need to do LFR.

Guild Firsts

If you have any guild firsts screenshots, upload them to our facebook group! I'm trying to round up a lot of the old ones, but like many of you I lost an old harddrive with this stuff in it. I'm still scrounging around. But I would love to see a better gallery of them.

Macro for BoA weapons in Dread Waste

This macro lets you know if you've looted any of the BoA items that spawn in dread wastes. I had to shorten some names because this macro hits the 255 character limit.

/run for k, v in pairs({WindRver=31666,Wodin=31397,Lucid=31431,BladePrime=31433,Malik=31430,Dissector=31435,Swarm=31434,Pois=31438}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cffff0000Looted\124r" or "\124cff00ff00Avail\124r")) end

Mumble Server

I just want to give everyone a heads up that our Mumble server will be changing again soon, hopefully for the last time. The old one will remain up for a couple months for side purposes. The new one will have a 200 player limit, as opposed to the 15 player limit we have now.

For WoW players - you can get the new server information via the guild information window In-Game.
For non-WoW players, message me via steam. I'll message many of you whom I know use it with the new information via steam.

Additionally, for those of you new to Mumble, or are simply used to using Ventrilo. I've added a short guide on getting up and running within the WoW page here : http://www.clanorb.com/games/wow/#mumble

Macro for World Bosses

Here's a helpful macro for seeing if your current character has done the world bosses this week.

/run for k, v in pairs({ Galleon = 32098, Sha = 32099, Nalak = 32518, Oondasta = 32519}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end

Note : Oondasta doesn't quite flag correctly so it may show as not done. This also means that you can loot Oondasta serveral times in one week because the game isn't correctly flagging as done.

UPDATE : I tried doing Oondasta a second time this week and did not get flagged for loot, so they may have hotfixed this.

Update to youtube code

This has previously been the biggest request, to implement youtube code, but many found it confusing that you had to enter in the youtube ID and not the entire URL. I didn't realize the bbcode could do this, so when I did, I changed it. You now embed youtube videos with :

Code: Select all: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8aG2TTQsAM[/youtube]

Preparing for WoW 5.2 Patch

This next patch I expect to be a big one - lots of people are waiting for this patch before coming back around. There are some important things to prepare for so they don't catch you off guard.

You can read the full details yourself here : http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/8608452

But if you ain't got time for that!. Here's a short list :

It's estimated to come out in 2 weeks - February 26th.

All valor points will be converted to Justice Points No conversions of PvE currencies will happen with 5.2

Items that cost valor will NOT be changed to cost justice. (If you're saving up to buy something with valor - get it done before 5.2 or you have to start over)

Valor costs for pre-5.2 items will be reduced 50-25%

The item upgrade system is being removed for 5.2, but will probably come back in 5.3 - Upgrade items you don't think you'll replace now.

The 90x lesser charm turnin will reward a new coin - Mogu Runes which is used only in 5.2 content. Elder charms will drop from random mobs on the new island.

Normal/heroic Throne will have a chance of dropping Thunderforged items (think - perfect gems). This is basically a rare chance you may get a super version of an item.

5.2 will bring back reputation championing similar to the old tabard system. 750 rep for first heroic, 350 rep for first scenario

Work orders will allow you to get 300 rep with a faction for doing something for that faction, as provided by a Tiller's quest.

Throne of Thunder LFR will require ilvl 480.
