World of Warcraft - Your Ogri'la Daily Quests Guide

You've been following Mandorall's excellent advice to make some quick Wow gold, when you noticed in your Quest Log that it says "2/10 daily quests." Surely, you tell yourself, that must mean there are other of these so-called daily quests out there, and I could make even more easy gold! Your next thought is obviously "Come on, Mandorall!" Why didn't you mention this before? Well, I'm here to rectify this monstrous omission on the part of our dust-covered and moth-eaten Paladin friend.
In the Western Blade Edge's Mountains is wow gold (http://www.cheapergold.co.uk/) an area only reachable by flying mount. This area, directly west of Sylvanaar, is The Vortex Pinnacle, home to the mythical Ogri'la Ogres (Good Ogres, and quite a bit brighter than the norm, which isn't saying much, I know.) If you're wondering why these Ogres are good, well you're barking up the wrong tree, since I couldn't care less about World of Warcraft lore, there's gold to be made here!
The Ogri'la, like the Skyguards mentioned by Mandorall, are a rich source of daily quests. What's more, they are associated with the Skyguards. A Skyguards Outpost is located barely 100 yards to the north of the Ogri'lla main compound, and it also offers daily quests! But that's not all! The Skyguards offer a direct flight from their Blade's Edge Mountains Outpost to the Blackwind Landing base in Skettis absolutely FREE!! (Honored reputation with Skyguards required. Other restrictions may apply. Offer may change at any time)
So, you ask, how can these wonderful daily quests become available to me? Well my friends, I'll tell you, but be warned this is not for the faint of heart! (Due to some persistent cursing trying to find groups, these Quests have been rated TV-14 LVD)
You start by talking to V'eru (57,46), one of the Naaru in Shattrah, who will request that you find and talk to the Ogre Grok (65,68) in the Lower city. Grok will direct you to Mog'dorg the Wizened (55,44) in the Blade's Edge Mountains. Mog'dorg will offer three Quests which can be completed in any order you prefer. All three quests require a 5-man group to complete.
Maggoc's Treasure Chest is the first one I completed, so we might as well start there. Maggoc is one of the sons of Gruul (whoever he his, I don't care), quite ill-tempered (but without laser beams - 10 Free WoW Gold on Gnomeregan Server to whom can find the reference!) and roams around Razor Ridge (63,55). With an average decently clad 5-man group, he should be easy to take down. Now, the important thing is that he doesn't carry the required chest with him, but drops it on the ground to be looted separately. Even more important is that this chest can be looted by anyone, not just the party that takes him down! You may therefore complete this quest without fighting Maggoc at all, just by being at the right place at the right time. Great information for all the freeloaders out there!
The second quest is Grulloc Has Two Skulls. Grulloc, another son of the enigmatic Gruul, is also located in the Blade's Edge Mountains in the Cursed Hollow (59,47) just over the mountains from Razor Ridge and therefore a 2 minute flight from Maggoc. He's also easy to take down with a 5-man group and again drops the skull to be looted separately.
The third quest, Even Gronn Have Standards, requires you to go back to Terrokar. Slaag is located in the Barrier Hills above Shattrah (20,16) and is quite a bit more difficult to kill than his brothers were, so make sure your group's tank/healer combo are good. Also this mob has an AoE attack every few seconds that will damage and push back everyone in a 15 yard radius, so make sure the healer and range DPS are not in range. As with his brother he will drop a separately looted standard that anyone can loot.
So now you need to get back to Mog'dorg in Blade's Edge to return all three quests. You're probably thinking, well that was somewhat time consuming, but not that bad to get 3 new Daily Quests. Unfortunately for you, this was just the beginning!
After all this, Mog'dorg is not wow gold (http://www.cheapergold.co.uk/) finished with you, far from it. Apparently he needs a Grimoire, hence the quest Grim(oire) Business. This one absolutely requires 5 players as you need to reach Vim'gol's Circle (77,30). Each member of the group stands in one of the five circles which starts a light show that summon the required mob. This mob is also quite powerful and should be taken down quickly before he "enrages" and wipes you out. I was lucky and had an epic-clad party (except for me, of course) and we took him down despite the "enrage". Apparently you can run back to the circles to take down his "enrage", but I didn't need to try it so am unsure of the success of this strategy. Once you get the Grimoire in question you need to return to Mog'dorg to get next quest in the chain.
Into The Soulgrinder requires you to activate an altar in the Circle of Blood (60,24) This will cause waves of 70 non elite ghosts to try to destroy it for 2 minutes before Skulloc appears. You should promtply engage all the ghosts as quickly as possible to keep them away from the altar. After 2 minutes Skulloc is summoned and the main fight begins. Skulloc is not easy to kill as he summons some ghosts to his defense, banishes players for 10 seconds and has a DoT he cast around that need to be dispelled rapidly, as it scales up pretty quickly for some 1000s of damage. Upon dying, he drops his soul, which needs to be looted seperatly. Depending where he dies it may be difficult to loot it and you may get quite a few "too far away" messages before you find a spot that will allow you to get it. Just walk around the Soul to find an acceptable spot.
When you return this quest to Mor'dorg, he proudly announces the fact to all players in the zone, "crowning" you King/Queen of the Ogres and directs to speak to Chu'a'lor in Ogri'la (28,57) You are now Neutral with the Ogri'la faction and are almost ready to start the daily quests. The remaining quests are not group quests.
Chu'a'lor needs 5 Apexis shards for The Crystals quest. You can simply get them off any mob in the Vortex Pinnacle or looted off Crystal Shard formations. The formations are not easy to see, so you need to use your mouse to locate them when the cursor changes into the gear icon.
This leads to An Apexis Relic, a very original quest indeed. You need one Apexis shards to power an Apexis Relic. The Relics are found in multiple locations around the Vortex Pinnacle, but I usually use the one just north of Ogri'la and the Skyguard outpost. Make sure to kill off the mobs around your Relic (which is one of the smaller object and not the central Apexis Monument in the middle) as you may get interrupted by an attacking mob during the quest, which would force you to restart the device with yet another shard. The quest is a memory game, where a series of light turn on in a sequence which you must repeat flawlessly or get zapped with 3000+ damage per error. If you do make a mistake and the quest doesn't restart, you need to try to find your place in the sequence or just leave the small platform and restart the device with another shard after waiting 15 seconds. Pen and paper are recommended to complete the quest unless you have a very good memory (sequence goes up to 8+ lights). Please note: sometimes the lights with appear but the sounds doesn't. Make sure to follow the sequence of light regardless of the sounds. When the quest completes, the light show continues but it apparently serves no purpose to continue (wouldn't really know; didn't try it)
This becomes a daily quest after the first time, which means you can actually do it twice the first day. Also note that most daily quests reward you with gold and apexis shards so you won't need to farm them (they stack to 250, and you'll soon have stack of them).
This quest opens up the Our Boy Wants To Be A Skyguard Ranger quest, which leads to the other dailies. Torkus (28,57) in Ogri'la wants a flask of some sort (Who cares, really). You need to get the flask from the Crystalforge (32,40) which requires 10 Apexis shards and return it to Torkus.
When you've returned the flask, Chu'a'lor (28,57) in Ogri'la will give you The Skyguard Outpost quest, which will open up the new Skyguards daillies (go to 27,52). The 2 new dailies are Bombing Runs which requires you to bomb the Fel cannonballs stacks (marked by hunter marks) in the Forge Camps north or south of the Vortex Pinnacle and Wrangle Some Aether Rays!, which requires you to... well, wrangle some aether rays. (You need to complete the Bombing Run before you can get the Wrangling... quest)
The bombing run is exactly like the Skettis one except the cannons actually shoot at you as you fly by, so some weaving and bobbing is required to avoid the flak. The flak causes a DoT which dismounts you, sometime in the middle of multiple mobs, so be warned. Although I should point out this quest is much easier to do with an epic flying mount (Thank you Brute Force Guild Bank and our Generous and Glorious Leader!) To wrangle the Aether Rays just bring them down to under 40% health and activate your wrangling rope. They will be thethered to you blocking most of your vision, but this quest is pretty quick to do, just watch out for the wandering mobs. The Aether Rays are neutral mobs found around Ogri'la
Other dailies will be added as your reputation with Ogri'la and the Skyguards increases.
Quests and rewards:
Mog'dorg the Wizened: 44s
Grulloc Has Two Skulls: 8g 80s
Maggoc's Treasure Chest: 8g 80s
Even Gronn Have Standards: 8g 80s
Grim(oire) Business: 8g 80s
Into The Soulgrinder: 13g 20s
Ogre Heaven: +25 rep Ogri'la
The Crystals: +250 rep Ogri'la
An Apexis Relic: +250 rep Ogri'la and Skyguards
Our Boy Wants To Be A Skyguard Ranger: +250 rep Ogri'la and 11g 99s
The Skyguard Outpost: 44s
Dailies Rewards:
Bombing Run: 11g 99s, 15 Apexis Shards and 500 rep with Ogri'la and Skyguards
Wrangle Some Aether Rays!: 11g 99s, 15 Apexis Shards and 350 rep with Ogri'la and Skyguards
The Relic's Emanation: 9g 10s, 15 Apexis Shards and 350 rep with Ogri'la
These 3 dailies take about 20 minutes to complete. Once these are done you can catch a ride directly to Blackwind Landing (or vice versa) to complete the 2 Skettis dailies (Honored with Skyguards required). The Ogri'la Quartemaster is Jho'nass (28,58), and he offers suitable rewards.

World of Warcraft - Grinding or Questing, Which is Faster?

For those who play World of Warcraft, there is the basic knowledge that you want to get to level 70 as fast as possible. Who wants to sit around at the low levels and feel less superior wow gold (http://www.flywowgold.com/) to the big guns at level 70. Now, the question arises, how does one get to level 70 as quick as possible, is it through questing or grinding?? The simple and honest answer is questing. This is proven because a player named Joana has the world record time of leveling to 70. What Joana did was quest the whole way there.

Now the average player can't just accept quests and get to level 70 as fast as Joana did. If you do not know the specific quests and when are where to accept and turn them in, you might as well just grind. Although when you grind, it is waay more boring and you don't get the reputation you need with all the factions. Trust me, I have been there and it is not fun.

So one might wonder, how do I get the information about which quests to get and how to do them, when to get them, and when to accept them. Well after much nagging from the world of warcraft community, Joana finally made a guide called Joana's Horde Leveling Guide. This guide explains in great detail every aspect of her route to 70. In Joana's Horde Leveling Guide comes step by step what to do and when to do it, each numbered and accompanied by a map with arrows telling you exactly what to do and where to go and how to do it!

Also with Joana's Horde Leveling Guide comes tips, tricks and secrets on the fastest leveling techniques. I wish I had known that stuff before, I used to wow gold (http://www.flywowgold.com/) not even really like WoW until I got Joana's Horde Leveling Guide. Joana also recorded every step of the way and you can watch the videos of how she did it. The videos are linked to help you find the exact spot of the video for each quest.

So if grinding and being bored does not appeal to you. Start questing and follow Joana's Horde Leveling Guide to help you along your new fun journey of World of Warcraft!

World of Warcraft Gold Making Tips - 5 Easy Tips for WoW Gold Farming That Anyone Can Do

World of Warcraft (WoW) Gold Farming is one of the most popular methods for making gold in WoW, and as a result is very competitive. WoW gold farming is very much about efficiency; you must kill a lot of mobs that drop good loot in a short amount of time. In this article, I will give you five WoW gold farming tips that will increase your money making rate.

1. Find Mobs That Respawn Quickly

You must be thinking of how you can kill mobs quickly wow gold (http://www.flywowgold.com/) and continuously, because the more you kill, the more you can loot. As a result, any area where mobs respawn quickly and drops are decent is a good area for WoW gold farming. Also, consider who else is around you trying to farm there. If other players are in the area killing mobs, it reduces the number available for you to kill and that can slow you down. If this is the case for a particular play session, consider moving to a different area.

2. Skin

Being a skinner is a great skill to have to supplement your looting when you are gold farming. If you are farming mobs that you can skin, that just increases the amount of loot that you can pick up from each mob. Also the skins are always in demand, so they sell well. Plus, if you are gold farming in an area with a non-skinner, you can skin those corpses also and get loot without having to even kill a mob. Skinning is a great way to add to your WoW gold farming.

3. Kill Mobs Efficiently

This refers to how fast you can kill a mob and move onto the next one. As mentioned in tip 1, you should be continuously killing when you are farming gold in WoW. That means, anytime spent sitting, drinking, or running to the next mob is wasted time. Consider killing easy enemies and use mana efficient spells when you are gold farming.

4. Sell on the Auction House

This one does not have to do with WoW gold farming directly, but it still bears mentioning because it is essential and some players still don't do it. Some of the gray items you can just sell to a vendor, but anything that is in demand should be listed on the Auction House for more money. Learning to use the Auction House is a must to get the most out of your gold farming.

5. Large Bags

Larger bags can hold more, so you will have to return to the Auction House less to unload. That means you are a more efficient gold farmer with larger bags. Bags can be expensive to buy, but look at them as an investment since you will use them to make more money while you are gold farming.
Put these tips to action today to increase your results when farming for gold in WoW.

Hot KEYS to Winning in World of Warcraft Arena

If you are a gamer than you should fully understand the importance your reaction time. It doesn't matter if you're playing an FPS, RTS, or World of Warcraft, your ability to quickly make decisions and execute on them via the quickness of your fingers is of absolute most importance.

I've known a few players who were "clickers", basically wow gold players who choose to bind very few or no keys at all. The argument being they didn't need bindings because of the 1.5 second global cooldown. To me, this just seems absolutely ridiculous. It'd be like trying to type only using one finger. Your hand on the mouse, no matter how precise, will not be able to outmatch your memorization of the keyboard. For the obvious reason, clicking buttons with the mouse requires not only quick decision-making, but also hand eye coordination. For players who bind their keys they only have to worry about choosing their next ability, and then simply they let the second nature finger-to-keyboard reaction take care of the rest.

The fewer abilities you have to click the better, binding all your abilities to hotkeys is crucial. For most of us, your left hand rests on the keyboard, positioned on home row. This should be your starting base for all your key bindings. Q, W, E, A, S, D by default are all your movement keys, even though you'll primarily be using the mouse to move and change camera angles, having these keys bound to their original functions is important so you can continue moving while switching targets (since Tab target is hopelessly broken). As your mouse will be your primary camera angle adjuster you may choose to move your strafe keys from Q and E to A and D, thus opening up additional easy binds.

Depending on the length of your hand you'll have to decide what will be the farthest reach for you, it will likely be 5, 6, or 7. Now draw an imaginary line down from that key and this is what will be, for lack of a better word, your WoW home row. The biggest thing to remember when your binding keys is that they need to be easy for you to hit, you don't want to have to think about them or strain at all in clicking them. They all will have to be second nature to you, so it's no longer a matter of adding a second variable of hand eye coordination into the choosing of a spell or ability.
My Key Bindings:
1-6
Shift + 1-6
F
Shift + E, R, T, G, Y, F, V
F1-F4
Mouse Button 4, Mouse Button 5, Scroll Mouse Button
Shift + MB4, MB5, SMB
There was a time when I was more or less a "clicker", terrible I know, I had a few skills bound; sinister strike, eviscerate, kick, stuff like that, but I lacked many key abilities I needed to make myself a better player. I finally buckled down and bound everything, it took me probably two weeks to get really comfortable with everything I had bound, but in the long run it was a great decision.
I was faster in PvP, more efficient in PvE, and had gotten to a point where everything was basically second nature. Though this is what works for me, it might be work for everyone, you might have to try out a couple different setups to figure out what's best for you. Though I truly believe, once you've given your set of hotkeys time to really get comfortable, it'll make you a much better player and a stronger, faster opponent in PvP.

Warcraft 3 DotA - What Is DotA?

History:
DotA is a custom map from Warcraft III - Reign of Chaos and it's expansion, Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne. The date of the first appearance of the map is not 100% clear, but it was sometime in 2003.
There were many different maps that developed on the first DotA mod, but the one that eventually become dominant was developed by Steve Feak also know under the nick "Guinsoo".
After about 2 years the development was handed over to a mapmaker under the nick "Icefrog", who was been working on it ever since.
Gameplay:
Unlike most RTS games you do not control a race and have to build a base, gather resources, expand, etc. At the very start you get to pick one of 104 unique heroes, which are sorted under 3 main attributes; strength, intelligence and agility. There are different games modes which give you a certain pool of heroes to choose from or similar, but I won't go into detail as it would take to long to explain every single mode.
After having picked a hero you buy item from you start gold and move to a lane. About 1 minute and 30 seconds after the game having started your allied creeps will spawn from your base. There are 3 different lanes which the creeps will enter, on each lane there are 3 towers. These towers are very strong at the start, but loose importance the longer the game lasts since the heroes grow in strength as well. So from both teams, "Sentinel" and "Scourge", creeps spawn. The creeps are controlled by the computer and evenly balanced if no heroes interfere.
The main aim of the game is to push one, or all, of the 3 lanes, enter the opponents base and destroy their main building, for the Sentinel it's "The World Tree" and for the Scourge it's "The Frozen Throne". Before you actually destroy the main building of the opposing team, you can also destroy their "barracks". Each lane has 2 of these, and for every 1 you destroy you own creeps will get stronger giving you an advantage.
To achieve your goal you have to level up your hero, you do this by standing close to enemy creeps to gain experience. For every level you gain, you get a skill point. You have 3 different skills and 1 ultimate skill. You can level each skill up to level 4 and your ultimate up to level 3. The other 10 skill points are used to upgrade your stats.
Besides leveling up you also have to farm gold to buy yourself powerful items. You do this by last hitting enemy creeps, or neutral creeps which are positioned around the whole map.
Other info's:
Average DotA games take around 40 minutes even though some are decided after 10 minutes and some take about 90 minutes! There are a lot of games hosted on b-net by players and host bots alike, but like any other major e-sport there are also leagues and tournaments with considerable prize pools.
To be able to play DotA on Warcraft III's very own battle-net you simply have to buy Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne. Both are available for 10 euro each in close to every major PC shop.
I hope you enjoyed this short review of DotA any maybe you are inspired to give it a try.

WoW Keybindings - Do You Need Special Keybindings In World of Warcraft?

Using optimized WoW keybindings is a very big deal. Most players don't even think about how important it is to have the right abilities on the right keys. So they use the default keybinding in World of Warcraft. When they meet a player who isn't using the default keybind, he then starts to spot the difference in skill. But a mistake appears there.
When you fight an opponent and lose, your immediate wow gold (http://www.flywowgold.com/ )reaction is that he was better than you, or he had better gear. Since you both are playing the same game, "being better" doesn't necessarily refer to the actual player behind character. It has more to do with how you play your own character.
More exactly, it has to do with how you manage your quickbars and how long it takes you to do your usual skill rotation. The default World of Warcraft keybindings don't really allow you to be very effective. This is because starting from about level 20, you will have so many abilities, that you will have to hit the 6 through the = buttons to use them. You can probably tell that is pretty hard to do and keep moving at the same time.
The elite players have started making their own keybindings to be able to do their spell rotations while still being able to move freely. The effect of making optimized WoW keybindings was obvious. Players could use every spell they had in any fight, thus maximizing their damage or healing output.
As you can see, the difference between players who use the default World of Warcraft key bindings and those who use optimized ones is very obvious. Someone who isn't using the right keybinds, will never be able to keep up with wow gold (http://www.wow77.com/) a player who does. It's impossible to when you have to take your hand off the movement keys to hit the = key, or when you have to use your mouse cursor to fire a spell that is placed on the right quickbars.
So to answer the original question, it is very important to use special keybindings in World of Warcraft. It will take getting used to and a little trial and error to come up with the best key binding, but once you get passed that, you will see how easily you can do your maximum DPS and also avoid getting hit yourself. You can do a lot more when you are using the right WoW keybindings.
Attention!
You don't have to waste time making your own keybinds and then lsoe more time trying them out. There is a very good software out there that will give you the same keybinds that the elite use, directly in-game. Find out how you can get that awesome addon that has all the best WoW Keybindings.
