Well, here is the final day of Twenty Days of Wow, and although its been a long strange trip, with very large spaces between posts, I MADE IT!

If today was my last day playing WoW, I would honestly play it the way I play every day. My characters would be sitting outside various Auction Houses, or in their garrison's.

I wouldn't give my gold away to anyone, nor would I empty banks, destroy gear or things like that.


I would leave my characters as they are, just in case one day, I came back.

We are now at the penultimate day of Twenty Days, and today's topic is: Whats in your bags or bank.

My characters banks are mostly empty apart from various vanity items such as non toys from Timeless Isle, reagents for each profession, and random Tier tokens which I don't redeem until I have the full set.

An example of my Bank and Bags.

My bags are usually fairly empty, apart from things like research books from profession dailies, or in the case of characters who have a mine or herb farm in their garrison, a few random herbs or ores which sit there until I head to a bank to store them appropriately.

Day 18 sees us talking about "Your Favourite Outfit".

My favourite outfit currently has to be the transmog that my Blood Elf Warrior - Caznoob - is currently wearing.

Caznoob

Her outfit is made up of various pieces of armor from ICC and some parts of the warrior tier 10. The weapons are Citadel Enforcer's Claymore.

Here is her armory link if you wish to see what each item is - Caznoob's Armory

I have two favourite spots in game, well, one is a spot, the other is really more two zones with amazing scenery.

Ironforge Commons:

Back when I was on Turalyon EU, it became quite the known thing to go AFK in Ironforge on the bridge outside the AH.

Ironforge Bridge

You would often find Lasharus there in one of his many glorious outfits, and there was often the deep conversation to be had with him and others who would frequent the bridge.

I would also set my characters hearthstone's to Ironforge inn, because the commons had both the bank, and Auction House opposite each other, and before CRZ was implemented, it used to be quiet and peaceful, just the place for my profession crafting and AH endeavours.

Ironforge Commons

Eversong Woods/Isle of Quel Danas:

Eversong Woods is the Blood Elf starting area, and Silvermoon City is located here. The area itself has amazingly beautiful music and graphics.

Eversong Woods

The Isle of Quel Danas is the level 70 TBC daily quest hub, and also the location of the Instance Magisters Terrace, and Sunwell raid.

A view from Quel Danas

Both area's use the same colour palette and architecture, and it is always a joy to be in these areas.

I think the biggest thing I miss (and I guess this is technically Pre/During Cataclysm) is the Old Orgrimmar, and more specifially, the Bank roof.

Image found on Imgur.

When Cataclysm hit, Orgrimmar changed immensely, and everyone's favourite afk spot was replaced by Grommash Hold, a massive Iron monstrosity.

Grommash Hold - YUCK

The old Orgrimmar was, in my opinion, much more visually pleasing than the current iron filled city that it has become. There is a much larger presence for the Orcs, and Tauren, Goblin and Troll's have been pushed to the back subdistricts.

My desktop background currently bounces between the following two images.

Art by Kageyama Satsuki - https://twitter.com/KageSatsuki

The first picture, I chose because it has Derpkitty on it (Kageyama Satsuki's Druid) and a couple of Blizzard's Entities (A zergling and I believe Malthael from Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls). You can download it here and also check out some of Kageyama's other art. If you like what you see, give him a follow on twitter, the link is in the caption under the image.

FOR THE HORDE!!!

This image, I chose because I am currently playing Horde, and it is a nice plain and simple clean image.

Today's dungeon delve saw me run all the Classic Kalimdor dungeons for level 1-60. As always, I used my level 100 Hunter who has Skinning and Leatherworking as her chosen professions.

All dungeons were cleared fully of mobs, and skinned wherever appropriate.

Today on Twenty Days, we are talking about "This Upsets You".

There is one thing that upsets and annoys me, especially within WoW and the online gaming community as a whole.

This is the completely and utterly inappropriate usage of certain words.

There is a horrific trend in todays gaming communities to use words such as rape as a flippant throwaway comment, or retard and cancer as generic insults.

*Stands on the soapbox*

Rape, is not something you should talk about as if its a slice of toast. Rape is a serious offence, and can leave its victims traumatised and often suicidal.

It annoys me immensely to log into a game and see people in PvP situations saying such things as "herpdederp I raped" or "Erhmagawd I'm getting raped".

You are NOT. What you are doing is getting wrecked, owned, crapped on, or any of the myriad more acceptable terms for basically getting owned.

Even in online FPS games you will often hear other players with voice coms saying such things as "I'm raping them" or "they are getting raped".

NO. What is happening, is that they are getting beaten, or you are beating them. You most certainly are NOT doing that other thing to them.

Also, saying to someone in a game "get cancer" is one of the most horrible insults I have ever come across. Cancer is not an insult. Cancer is a terrible horrible disease that does not discriminate against its victims.

It is serious and it can kill. As someone who has lost family members to this disease, it, and I apologise for the language, pisses me right off when people say "get cancer and die".

I'll stop here before this turns into a massive rant about how people who behave like this are ruining gaming communities, but please, if you use words like the above as insults etc, think twice and use something more appropriate as an alternative.

Today, in Twenty Days, its people I admire.

In previous Twenty Days posts, I have made reference to Dwarf Wench, or Wenchie as she is also known. I met this genuine lovely woman back in 2011 I believe when I joined a guild on Argent Dawn-EU to raid.

Wenchie was officer and one of our raid healers, and she made me feel incredibly at home within the guild.

At the time I was worried how my health issues and real life issues (I have a chronically ill mother, and at that time, grandmother) would affect things, and Wenchie was amazing at putting my mind at ease, and offered virtual hugs and support at times when I needed them most.

This friendship has lasted past the guild, and I count Wenchie as one of the most important friends I have. We dont talk often, but I know when things are tough, even though she has her own health issues which leave her tired (see her blog for more about that) and very unwell, she will always be there for me, dispensing a caring listening ear and a virtual hug.

There are not enough words to express the gratitude I have to Wenchie for how much she cares about not only me, but my family.

As a group mention of peope that I admire, I would have to mention the guild that I met Wenchie in. When I joined the Guild on Argent Dawn, I could never have dreamed, that it would become like a second family to me, as, aside from Wenchie, our former guild leader and my Vodka Twin, and many of the other members, are also equally as lovely, and supportive.

I am not as active on Argent Dawn as I once was, and the guild is not as active either, but I know, if I pop over there, there is usually someone ready to chat.

For todays Twenty Days, its a Usual day in my Life/Online time.

My day usually starts like everyone elses, waking up. Whether I fall out of my bed when I wake up or go back to sleep, depends on how I feel.

When I am up, the first things that happen are generally what everyone else does, bathroom, hygiene etc.

If I need to pop to the shops for family errands, this happens before the Online time.

With IRL issues dealt with, I then head to the PC.

First up is Skype and mIRC. Then, its off to the browser for the WoW forums, Twitter and Tumblr. After a quick peek of Tumblr, the windows get closed for that and its off to WoW or whatever game I am nerding at the time.

Once on WoW, I alternate through my characters in turn, dealing with profession CD's and Garrisons, then its back to whatever I feel like playing.

I'll generally run old raids, farm things, or sit and chat to friends on mIRC, whilst reading twitter on and off.

In the evenings, I will often AFK in my level 100's garrison while playing Call of Duty with friends. 

My days are pretty samey, and I generally go to bed around 1 or 2 am.

I have many bad habits, a lot of which I wont share here in the interests of public decency and embarrasment.

However, that said, I believe my biggest flaw is the fact that I take things extremely seriously, and am often missing the point, or unable to tell when things are a joke. This is often to the annoyance of my friends who all deserve a gold medal for putting up with me.

I also get annoyed really easily, partly due to the above flaw. This is also an extreme annoyance to my friends as they find me getting annoyed over the slightest thing.

My biggest bad habit, is the inability to keep a tidy desk. I clean it regularly, but within a couple of days or so, its back to the cluttered mess that it was.

Well, we have reached the halfway point on Twenty Days, and today, its favourite blogs and websites.

I have a lot of favourites, however in the interests of keeping this post short, and not critting you for over 9000, I will pick only a few.

First up, is Dwarf Wench which is written by a very lovely lady from Argent Dawn, who I had the great fortune to meet in the guild I joined shortly after moving there. Wenchie helped fuel the interest I have in gold making as she herself also participates in auction PVP as much as her health issues allow. You can read more on her blog which I have linked, because anything I say will not do this remarkable woman any justice.

Next is The Consortium which is a forum dedicated to gold making and "Goblineering". Its a valuable source of information and help, and while not as active as I once was, I do pop in now and then if I am looking for specifics.

Finally The Undermine Journal is a valuable site for checking prices and the habits of other goblins on your realm. Apologies for the EU link (I am EU) but you can click for US realms too.

Today's 20 days, is Day 9, and my first blog post - http://cazmiawow.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/first-post.html 

I really wish I could annihilate this blog post off the face of the planet, it was a really bad, short post, as I had just got started into blogging.

Nothing else I can really say about this post to be honest.

Each dungeon was as always, fully cleared of mobs, and skinned wherever possible. The dungeons rewarded a varied amount of gold for completion. Grey and White quality items such as potions were vendored.

Today on Twenty Days of WoW - 10 Things We Dont Know about You.

1. I like photography, but dont get much of an opportunity to take photo's these days.
2. I have Pernicious Anemia and Peripheral Neuropathy as a result.
3. Caz is a nickname that my late aunt started calling me. It originally started as Cazzymodo and then shortened to Caz.
4. I bounce between Horde and Alliance depending on how I feel. Currently I am Horde again, thanks to a dispute with a former guild leader.
5. I have two Twitter accounts. One is my personal account, the other, is for all my gaming things such as Rift (and will be used if WoW allows us to tweet from in game)
6. I have 2 "Sisters from another mister", Raven and Fallyn. 
7. I am told that I am strange (I probably am, being normal is boring)
8. My Horde Warlock has uncanny luck when running for mounts and they drop on her first kill.
9. I play Call of Duty but I suck at it.
10. I can't think of a 10th item.

Today's installment of Twenty Days of WoW focuses on the choice of my blog name.

I chose Cazmia's Ramblings because a lot of my characters are called Cazmia with various accents above letters, or without, and I have a tendency to ramble a lot.

With hindsight, I should have come up with something a lot better, but since my blog covers a variety of topics anyway, from extremely random ramblings to my gold making pursuits, I guess Cazmia's Ramblings is very fitting.

Today, as a bit of fun, I decided to run all the Outlands dungeons on heroic using my Skinning/Leatherworking hunter.

All Outland Dungeons, in one handy acheivement list

Each dungeon was cleared fully of mobs, and all skinnable mobs were skinned. Each dungeon completion rewards a standard 17g 60 silver, with gold looted off most mobs as well. Grey and White quality items such as potions were vendored.

Today on Twenty Days, and I do apologise for the extreme lateness of the latest installment of this series, is my workplace or desk.

Rather Messy Desk with added Bonnie The Dog

I run WoW currently on a very basic computer with integrated graphics, and it is situated on a large cluttered desk with room for my Xbox 360 and plenty of junk. I have a single monitor due to the fact that I dont have a second graphics card or monitor port but this is fine, I can live with this.

I have not yet managed to teach the Dog to post auctions, however, this is a work in progress.

hu•man•i•ty (hyuˈmæn ɪ ti; often yu-) 
n., pl. -ties.1. all human beings collectively; the human race; humankind.2. the quality or condition of being human; human nature.3. the quality of being humane; kindness; benevolence; goodwill.

This week, Humanity disgusted me even more than normal. We see on the news every day various atrocities commited by humankind.

However on Wednesday, two gunmen went into the office of a small Satirical Newspaper in Paris, and killed several employees and policemen, before escaping, and causing a 2 day manhunt, which culminated today in the death of three people who had taken civillians hostage, as well as the lives of some of the hostages themselves.

Why did they choose to go into the office and do this? Because their "Religion" was insulted by satirical cartoons, or, at least, this is what THEY wanted us to think.

In truth, these men were cold, hard terrorists, using religion as an excuse to get themselves exposure for their cause.

Anyway, I digress.

Every day, someone, somewhere, makes a concious decision to take the life of another via violent means, committing an act of murder. Some people choose to WRONGLY use their religious beliefs when carrying out these acts, others, well, there has to be something wrong with them somewhere.

As a human being personally, I could not comprehend ever wanting to pick up a weapon, and violently snuff the life out of another. 

Human life is precious, its a gift, and one that should not be wasted.

In the years I have been on this planet, I have seen so many horrific things on the news:

• IRA Bombings
• 9/11
• 7/7
• Dunblane Primary School Shooting's
• Columbine/Virginia Tech Shootings

Those are just the tip of the iceberg.

I cannot understand why people do things like this. It's a waste of human life. If everyone went round and blew people up, or shot people dead because something or someone had pissed us off, there would be no one left on this earth.

Even worse, to do these things in the name of a whole religion, thats just wrong. Not only are you killing people because you are in fact, a TERRORIST, but you are doing so by bringing an entire religion into disrepute, and making it so that the decent law abiding followers of whatever religion you are besmirching, end up living in fear.

Not so long ago, there was an incident in Sydney, Australia, where an "Islamic"  gunman took hostages in a Café. I use quotation marks because he was an individual who was really, just using his religious beliefs to get attention. As a result of this, the hashtag #I'llridewithyou began trending worldwide as kind hearted DECENT human beings in Sydney offered to ride with people of the Islamic faith so they felt safe on their commute.

I guess, not all humanity is bad. But there is an ever growing subsection of humanity who are anything but human.

Why can't we all live in peace and harmony together. Why do we have to have so many senseless killings, murders, and such waste of human life at the conscious hands of others.

As much as I hate to go to religion to answer a question, the Sixth commandment puts it very simply. "You shall not murder". The Ten Commandments as a whole, are basic tenets preached in various forms by all religions. If these people really are acting in the name of religion, then WHY are they not respecting the very simple "You shall not Murder".

I guess the answer to that, sadly, is one that no one will ever know.

I'm extremely sorry for this very wordy, rambling, disjointed wall of text. It's my way of trying to make sense of the events of this week.

As you are all probably aware by now, it's possible to solo raids such as Firelands, ICC 25HC, Throne of the Four Winds and so on.

Lately, this has been one of my gold making endeavours, running raids for mounts, vending the grey/white trash, armor I cannot use, and then sending any crafting mats, cloth and disenchantables to my guild bank.

So far, my hunt for mounts has returned to me, the Flametalon of Alysrazor, which I soloed on my level 92 Warlock, it dropped on her first kill ever, and last night, this happened.

Obligatory Phone Screencap.

There will be more about the raids and their loot in a future post to come.
