Shared Topic: So, your raid got canceled?

-
OK, I just got the kids to bed, wife tucked away and logon to get a few late night hours of Warcraft in. Based on all my plans, there's this raid progression tonight and I am hoping to continue filling my spot. Darn, well, technical issues aside, I finally logon and well they didn't wait. Too many open seats and they've decided to fill my spot with an actually guildie (who probably didn't show last night because he didn't really care to play the first few bosses anyway).

Now what to do? (also what I do when no raid is planned).
  1. Queue up for the Random Dungeon
  2. Take a run around Dalaran, see what quirky people are on tonight
  3. Stop by Marcia Chase, pickup fishing daily (if it's not that dreaded ghost fish).
  4. Do Fishing daily, often get back before spot in random dungeon.
  5. Turn in fishing quest, port to orgrimmar to check out auction house.
  6. Buy up all the underperforming items and flip my gems.
  7. Accept dungeon invite, then go back in front of queue as someone went afk
  8. Hearth back to Dalaran, wish I could queue for daily pvp at same time.
  9. Accept another dungeon invite, run CoS in record 15 minutes, with another bronze proto drake drops, and no one takes, cuz we all have one.
  10. Port out, queue for daily pvp.
  11. See that Wintergrasp is a few minutes away, fly to portal and wait for fun.
  12. Do VOA if you win...
  13. Lose another round of PVP, attempting to get those coveted arena tokens.
  14. Log off around midnight, and go watch the Final, Cataclysmic Season of Lost.
Individual results may differ.

Bee Math

So you've finally realized that the Bee Mount is the absolute BEST mount in the entire game. You want one, no, NEED one right now. OK, so what do you need to make this happen. Step 0: Go to the auction house and buy a few monel-hardened stirrups . Using the stirrups is the best way to harvest jelly. No need to dismount unless you are attacking something. Try not to. Step 1: Head over to wowhead and read what they said over there. This will give you all the details on how to get started. Turning off ground clutter really does help. Step 1B: set your hearthstone to the inn in Brannadam. It's a bit of a pain if your dalaran hearth is on cooldown, but nice to not have to fly back to stormsong each time. Step 2: You've now finished the intro quest chain, and are planning to harvest lots of thin jelly. You need to level your baby bee up 10,000 (3,000 for baby, another 7,000 for mature) health points to 'mature' and each thin jelly feed this little guy 6, SIX. Th

Are you Mecha-Done?

One of the most exciting mounts to come out this last expansion (personally) is the Model-W. This wheel mount comes in two variants, new and rusty. The rusty edition is dropped from Rustfeather with a 0.5% drop rate. The Model-W is a shiny edition that comes from a fairly lengthy bunch of achievements. I have been working on this achievement on my Alliance Warlock for some time now and thought it was time to look up the remaining portions. (Note: Comparing achievements with my alts, it appears the meta-achievements are BOA. My son has Making the Mount marked completed, yet hasn't completed the quest chain.) You can find the achievement under: Character > Achievements > Exploration > Battle For Azeroth It has 10 meta-achievements included in it. I believe the very first achievement " Unnamed Branch " is from completing the main storyline which concludes with killing King Mechagon in the dungeon "Operation: Mechagon". (update: as soon as
