Legionfall War Supplies
Seriously, is there anything of value returned by spending these silly supplies? Of all the things that Keya needs - order resources, nethershards, artifact power, ancient mana - the last thing she needs is useless war supplies.
Boy, was Keya wrong about that!
Skeptical Keya grudgingly contributed 100 war supplies to the under construction command center just to see what happens. That earned two items that when opened handed Keya 75 nethershards, 260 order resources, AND 1900 AP! There was also a Dauntless head piece that had a chance for a gear upgrade, but she only got the standard i850, which she already has. Still, the haul is a lot better than Keya expected.
So she contributed another 100 war supplies. Another bag of goodies, including another 1900 AP! Keya has enough war supplies to do this six more times. Should she? Is there any reason to hold on to them?
Anyway, Keya is now starting a new effort to reach the next weapon rank. That will take 51,000 AP. She has 3,800 AP. Keya may still be trying to finish her weapon when the next expansion arrives. Sigh.
Keya now has enough nethershards to roll the dice on two Dauntless pieces of gear. The chances are slim that she'll get something better than the usual i850 gear, but that's why one rolls the dice. Spent 800 nethershards and got one minor upgrade - Head piece improved from i850 to i855. So'kay.
With her new gear she finally decided it was time to do some local questing. She'd started questing in Suramar weeks ago and then turned to mostly to world quests. Now her focus is back on getting the Suramar quests done. Her first night out was a rough one. The FPS mess kicked in again. That made things ten times harder because Keya has to stay disguised, move quickly and keep an eye out for guards who can pierce the disguise. She killed dozens of angry guards but got only a few quests done and then gave up in frustration.
A Morning Update for 2017-05-11: Sista disobeyed orders to remain in Dalaran so Keya could comtinue her mission in Suramar. Keya was distracted with the FPS problems that continue to plague her. Without a word to anyone, Sista took it upon herself to check things out on her own. She hopped a flight down to the Aegen Flight Path on the Broken Shores. The rest of the family thought it was Keya on that trip. Sista fooled them all. All except Keya, of course, who was livid when she found out.
Sista and her assigned partner waded into a world quest to to collect coins. A simple enough task. Sista doesn't have near the level of gear that Keya has, so the killing part of the quest took a bit longer to manage. That said, Sista acquited herself quite well. At her level of artifact knowledge, she received only 465 AP. That was okay. Sista got her outing, she showed she deserve getting leveling work and not just boring farming runs.
The most delicious part of the adventure for Sista was she also may have found an answer to the FPS issues. She suggeested a test - change the wireless mouse to a corded mouse. If the FPS problem goes away? It did. Sista had no problems at all using the corded mouse. Longer term I still want a wireless mouse that is up to the challenge. For the near term, though, a corded mouse is just fine.
Thanks, Sista!

Tomb of Sargeras Peek
Tomb of Sargeras Peek
Keya took a dare that she could work her way into the Tomb of Sargeras, a full on raid. It came in the form of a quest to get past the obstacles and defenders of the giant citadel. That's just the kind of fun Keya likes to take on.
She worked her way north toward the citadel, killing many of the skeletal defenders that barred her way. There was a huge lip of rock nearly surrounding the citadel with a deep moat. Keya figured she would lose a lot of time working her way around to a spot where she could get over the moat. Looking for a quicker way, she found a spot where her demon wings might get her safely over the moat.
Keya was blocked by a bevy of monstrous bats, however, but not for long. Keya waded into them. By the time she had finished them off, she had some nice leather cloth from the four bats. She found a good jump off spot and leaped from the lip of rocks and down to the lower steps that led into the Citadel itself. Keya was now inside the ring of the quest. Somewhere further within should be her prize.
It wasn't hard to find the spot where players would enter into a raid. Of course, Keya could not enter there, since she was not in a raid. She began looking for other entrances and anything else that might prove interesting.
Keya was tracking counterclockwise when she spied a smaller, swirling doorway. Hmmm, Keya wondered where this might lead? She passed through the door. Inside was a mid-sized room about thirty steps long where an opening beckoned. She could see movement on the other side of the opening, but could only see glimpses. She moved closer, stepping past the opening.
Inside were two raid level elites just a few feet from her. To her right and left numerous other elites were busy at their tasks.
Keya smiled and stepped forward a pace. . . . and started running the other direction as the two elites gave chase!! Keya made it to the door, wondering on the way if that door only opened inward . . . she was very relieved when she found herself back outside. There were too many inside for her to take them all on.
She explored some more, and found other batches of lesser elites gaurding areas of the citadel. In all cases there were at least four elites. Keya was game to take on two of them, but four would have been suicide.
Her prize would have to wait. She would probably have to get past all of the elites inside that door, a prize that only raiders were likely to see. It was a fun trip, however. She may do more elite teasing when the mood strikes her. She also picked up almost 4,000 AP. Current tally of AP is jusst over 33,000 toward the 40k she needs for the next rank.
Update: Keya got her 40k AP and has added another rank to her weapon. In order to close the loop on she still has EIGHT more ranks to complete.

Loosening the Purse Strings
Loosening the Purse Strings
Chaitee was frustrated and bored. The Auction House was selling the same crap and no one wanted to buy anything. She cornered the market on stormscale just to prove she could and then sold it off for several thousand gold in profit, but that didn't really energize her, either.
She wanted something BIG. Keya wanted something BIG, too. She was growing tired of all these tiny baby steps she has to take in order to progress. Keya went slumming at the Stormwind Auction House, peering at all those goodies. The prices for even mid-level gear was posted at outrageous prices. There was gear that cost over a million gold! A million!
Seeing Keya's interest, Chaitee started looking harder at the AH offerings. Yes, you needed Fort Knox to get the amount of gold required. But Keya wanted gear. Chaitee thought she might part with a little more gold than the usual if Keya wanted to take a chance.
Chaitee showed Keya a pair of shoes. "Try 'em on," Chaitee suggested. They fit Keya like they were were born for her.
"They have a name," Chaitee added. "The Sentinel's Eternal Refuge."
"What do they cost?" Keya whispered. "Whatever it is I can't afford them," Keya knew.
Chaitee shrugged. "I will take care of the cost."
"Why?" Keya had to know. Chaitee replied. "I'm sick of seeing top tier gear obviously from dungeons and raids that you are cut out of the loop on because of the professions restrictions. Someone should show the world what Keya can do with respectable gear."
Keya pulled off her shoes, functional Lunarblight Treads (i850), and slipped on the new shoes. Those shoes are rated as i940. The shoes alone pushed Keya's gear level from i848 to i854, six full levels. The new shoes also came with three prismatic sockets. Three of them! Chaitee paid for those, too: +200 Agility, +150 Haste, and +100 Mastery.
Keya is now one sumbeech demon hunter! And that wasn't all. Keya quickly learned that those shoes had even more tricks available to her - such as a 5% increase in speed for one minute, which can stack up to five times! Keya can also turn into a whisp (out of combat only) increasing her speed further and gaining the ability to fly!
What did all that cost? One should not refuse a gifthorse when offered. But Chaitee was in one of her moods. "You want to know what it cost?" She asked. "The shoes alone cost One Hundred Thousand Gold." Nuff' said.

The Eye of Gurgh
The Eye of Gurgh
The Eye of Gurgh is a high level elite that randomly appears in the Broken Shore. These elites appear for short periods of time, appearing and disappearing. Getting to them can be a challenge, particularly when having to fight to get to it's location. What caught Keya's eye was that the Eye of Gurgh was within easy reach from the Aegen Flight Path.
Keya had almost decided to retire for the night. But she had fought one of those special elites before and won. Even though she'd had help, Keya felt confident she could take on Gurgh solo. Getting to the elite was a little more complicated than the map showed. Keya had to clear a number of mobs once she was in the vicinity, and then entered a deep tunnel where Gurgh was waiting. Keya wasted no time and waded in, weapons flashing. She fought ferociously with abandon. One of her strengths is her ability to "maintain the pain" on the elite and not let it get a breath. Keya did a quick check of her status and . . . gulp, saw her health was at 50% and Gurgh still had 65%. This was not going as well as expected.
Keya kept up the assault and started folding in her heavier spell artillery. She then burned her save me spells to gain back some ground. It was going to be very tight. Keya launched everything she had left. Her assigned sidekick emptied his arsenal as well, but Keya died before the final blow struck home.
It took Keya fifteen minutes to find her corpse. When she finally located it, the body of Gurgh was still warm, but definitely dead. To her shock and the will of the gods, Gurgh was still lootable. Keya did not get any AP for the kill, but she did get some goodies which made the whole battle worthwhile. She earned an upgrade of her bracers, from i840 to i860. She also earned enough nethershards to bet on a better ring, giving up her i835 ring for a new i860 ring.
Overall, her gear score went from i845 to i848, a very nice improvement. Keya is still shocked that she could still loot a corpse already fifteen minutes dead. She isn't complaining. These special elites don't often drop worthy gear, but Gurgh proved it does happen. And FPS troubles were minor to boot. Can't imagine getting that loot had FPS been bad.

FPS Importance to Warcraft
FPS Importance to Warcraft
Yes, in today's dangerous world FPS is often defined as "First Person Shooter." Many players may wish that they could use FPS on Blizzard, but that wouldn't be nice.
FPS in game terms means "Frames Per Second." The higher the FPS the smoother the motion flows inside the world of Warcraft. The speed and smoothness of play USED to be pretty consistent, maintaining solid FPS as high as 90. It was something you rarely thought about. I never see that kind of framerate anymore. Here are some general observations from this morning:
(1) Chaitee at the Stormwind Auction House: FPS runs around 50-60 FPS, which is okay for the light work Chaitee handles. It's also about as good as it gets these days.
(2) On Dalaran at any given time: FPS can vary significantly, skittering from lows in the 30s to around 50ish if just moving around.
(3) On the Broken Isles Keya is lucky to get 35 FPS, which means short periods of being able to move to being frozen in place for seconds at a time.
(4) On the Fel Hammer Keya can barely move with FPS as low as 23.
Sometimes it's not too bad. Away from the newer content it's almost normal (ie, 50ish). Sista ran the Bastion of Twilight raid ten times yesterday collecting mats. She even stayed and killed things in the Maw of Madness for an hour while she had a potion up that increased the take. There were a few hiccups, but for the most part the game ran smoothly. When Sista ran Naxramas a couple days ago, though, things started smoothly but began degenerating and she never finished.
One comment about the Maw of Madness. For anyone who wants to farm embersilk and collect gear that can be turned into Hypnotic Dust, there is no better place. The Bastion can only be farmed once a week, but the Maw is always there and always spitting out an endless stream of mobs to kill. One day Sista is going to go there and it will be gone. So far, though, it's production is endless.
Back to FPS. Doing something worthwhile is a crap shoot, basically, dependant on the FPS at the time. Still, I keep playing. But then I'm addicted. I need an intervention.

Wow Patch 7.2 Problems
Wow Patch 7.2 Problems
For the past several days I have been blaming my poor computer for the terrible problems I've been having with Warcraft. I even put blame on the wireless mouse since sometimes the mouse flows smoothly but at other times it jerks, jolts, and stutters to a stop unexpectedly. I blamed the NVIDIA card despite that every test shows there is no problem with the video card.
Last night it took five minutes for the game to load, and when it finally did load it was so sluggish it was impossible to play. This problem seems to get worse every day. I finally went hunting for answers. The short answer points to this latest patch, 7.2. Multiple players are reporting the same issues on the forums. Everyone is complaining but so far no solution or explanation. There are some who think NVIDIA drivers are the problem, but an equal number say they are running the newest drivers and that isn't the issue. Nor is it an issue between Windows 7 (my version) or Win 10. Both are having the same issues. I've read through post after post on the tech forum and heard from two game masters trying to help and not a single person has noted any solution or even an idea what is wrong. Last night I tried to enter Naxramas after half crashing trying to fly to it. Naxramas started out partly playable and then it became unplayable. BAD. Very bad.
Chaitee is having her own troubles with bag sales. She's not selling any. Well, she isn't selling any at the price Chaitee wants. To be specific. She isn't budging because the prices continue to fall, and chasing falling prices is bad business. The Auction House may find itself selling three different bags for essentially the same price. Note that Chaitee is able to use the AH in game. That leads me to believe even more that the issue is the patch. Stormwind isn't perfect, but it's playable. Dalaran isn't playable.
Embersilk Bags: 385 gold
Satchel Bags 395 gold
Frostweave Bags 291 gold (price had earlier jumped to a record high 341 gold)
The distinction in bag sizes might be becoming irrelevant to buyers and are willing to buy the cheapest bag whether it has 20, 22, or 24 slots.
That's why Sista was trying to get into Naxramas for the infinite dust and frostweave mats needed to make the cheapest bag. Sista came out of Naxramas bloodied and frustrated, but she did have some success.
Even now, this morning, the system is so slow that Sista was unable to sort the goods she got from Naxramas. She could not even move things around in the bags. Something has to be done.

Long Time Gone
Long Time Gone
Chaitee and Keya have not left the game. They are still out there, doing their jobs, it's just that the author of this tome continues to struggle with his machine. There is good and bad news on that front, but really, the only front that matters is the one on the Broken Shores. Keya has been pounding that ground for the past several days. She amassed enough AP to earn a big bonus rank (Fueled By Pain) which will add some additional firepower to her weaponry. She burned through four world quests last night but that only gained her around 25k AP. In addition to the quests, she tried her hand at a couple of elites that randomly pop up for a period of time and then disappear. Keya started the battle with the elite and knew immediately it would be a tough fight. Other players saw her in action and joined the fight, which made things a bit easier. Still, she was confident she could have prevailed without help. Too bad there was no prize for the kill. These random elites do drop nice goodies, but only rarely. Keya will take them on if she happens to be the neighborhood, but it's not worth her time to target these elites. Keya did earn enough nethershards, though, to spend 400 of them on a chest piece upgrade, which is currently i840. The minimum one gets when opening is i850, but there is a chance for higher level gear. Keya got an i870 leg piece from nethershards. No luck for keya this time. She got the usual i850. Still, it's an upgrade that boosted her overall gear score from i842 to i843. Hey, I take what I can get, Keya says.
Keya's next goal for her blades is the Horned Warblades and Charred Warblades ranks. Keya will have to kill her way to earn the 135,000 AP to get there. It makes me tired just thinking about it.
Chaitee has been quiet because the AH has been in a downturn since last week. Most of the goods she has to sell are priced below what Chaitee thinks are good bets, but still too high to buy out the sellers. When lulls threaten Chaitee's profits she turns to Sista to make Naxxramas and Twilight Highland runs to build up her stocks and push the market. Sista is more than ready to get some time to do just that.
