Transmog, Void Storage – where are they? And the reforger has *gone*!

 

First a map of Stormwind showing me in the shop – the cool place to be.

And another shot of just outside the shop:

 

This is the place where you will find three Ethereals (think Mana Tombs).  On the left is the reforging service – the one that used to be done by an Elf in the Enchanter Trainer area.

In the middle is the new Void Storage guy – who wants to relieve you of a *lot* of money.  First you need to establish your bona fides with him by crossing his palm with 100G.  For this he explains that you can put your stuff in the top box, for the price of 25G per item.  You can then get them into storage – and if you wish to withdraw them, then you take them from the store and  put them in the outbox.  He will *not* accept items that are unique equip – so a lot of seasonal outfits will not fit in there.  He will not accept items that need darning, or have dents in, so, off you go and repair them…  He will also not accept anything that is not soulbound.  And he will strip the items of any reforging, enchants or gems.

 

Finally, there is the transmog vendor – who will make your outfit look different – you can only swap like for like though.  So a plate wearer cannot look as if they are wearing cloth – and a mace cannot be made to look like a sword.  Either drag your item to the slot on the armour model, or right click on it, and pay up…

 

Hope this helps, have a nice day.

Editing the blogroll

Time to try and fillet out those who are no longer posting and which hold nothing useful anymore by way of links… some of these are just withdrawn blogs now… :(

I Gerald – RIP

27/11/2011 2 comments

If the authors of Righteous Orbs still read this blog, or have anything to do with the WoW universe at all, I’d like to offer them a space here for them to store the adventures of Gerald, the articulate kobold…

Also, the hilarious Charge of the Light Brigade Raid directions…. 

Because I miss them – whatever the thoughts might be about various political stances, those bits of humour could not fail to tickle

How many characters do I need?

To be honest, I know that some may think that having too many characters is excessive.

Up until now, we have had a limit of 50 toons per account, with ten per server.

Until reasonably recently, you could not have horde toon and alliance toons on the same server, same account.

comments that perhaps they will life the restriction on the number of toons per account per server – meaning that potentially, you could have 50 characters slots…

Now *that* sounds appealing. Because at the moment, I have 9 alliance toons at 85, and one at 81 – and one at 20 something who I think I shall delete to make space…. I have 9 horde toons, one at 85, one at 82, and the rest at low levels (this second account is a bit new, so that’s why I have not so many on there. And where do I put the monk?

In the past, I have tried different realms – but somehow it has never been easy to get started there – one of the practical difficulties has been that all the heirlooms are effectively bound to one server, so you have to pay money to transfer a mule across bearing all the heirlooms you think you might need. The other is that, for some reason, I feel more connected to the home server – it seems strange, but I have the feeling that one of my horde toons might meet my alliance toons – because it is the same Stormwind, the same Orgrimmar… I don’t actually play both accounts simultaneously, because I don’t think my computer could cope with it – although I do know of some who do – making levelling characters even more of a breeze than it already is, by tugging them along behind you in dungeons, and making light work of group quests.

Sometimes I just get pleasure out of waving at people I sort of know from my new horde guilds when I am on my ally characters – in a neutral place like Dalaran. It’s completely the inverse of picking on people you actually know and being in disguise so they don’t know it, and really enjoying it (thinking of a The Guild episode here) – although sometimes I think that might have its attractions…

Will it mean I need my second account? hmm – I have not tried playing cross-faction AH games, nor whether I can trade from account A to account B – which perhaps might be something to think about… and now I have actually paid for a second set of game licences, it is only the monthly payment which is the saving… Although there would be the cost of transferring them all from account B back to account A if I did want to close account B…
