    Feb 27

    In the twenty-first World of Warcraft podcast episode, we profess our love for Outland and for being able to say it correctly, we get back into the Transmog business, Elegon goes down, and Healbot is installed. We look for efficient ways of obtaining Justice points at level 80, we figure out what a Vermling is, and we introduce Bitter and Salty’s Thirty Weeks of World of Warcraft.

    • Upcoming change in 5.2 to buy the farm:
      • “Players that have grown attached to working the land at Sunsong Ranch can now acquire the farm from Farmer Yoon via a quest. The farmhouse becomes a rest point like an Inn, where the player can bind and instantly log out. Work orders will pour into the farm from factions across Pandaria, and completing a work order will earn a reputation boost with the issuing faction. The option to take over the farm is available to characters that are exalted with the Tillers and have unlocked all 16 farm plots.”

    Hey guys,

    I’m a little late getting caught up on my podcast listening and I just listened to ep 20. You guys were talking about having trouble keying your PTT on vent or mumble when things get real busy. I’m sure you have received many suggestions by now on this issue but, I just wanted to give my suggestion about that. i use the grave(~) key as my PTT key. It is positioned just right in my opinion. As my hand rests on my keyboard during raiding I can reach that key with my little finger from just about any place on the keyboard.

     Love your show, keep up the awesomeness.

    @Lanctharus Awww you guys are great! :D

    @Grozlok Hey @bitterandsalty , why is it that the BnS calendar broken in the WoW Armory app? All my other guild calendars work fine.

    In the twentieth World of Warcraft podcast episode, we find out the actual dates for Blizzcon 2013, we talk about user-interface compilations and addons, we reveal a time-saving tip for posting auctions, more raiding pet peeves, and get into some character-naming back story. We recap our recent Eye of Eternity run, wonder if Shadow Priests are OP, and do a little Pet Battling… and we try to understand why we make Meat sick.

    Bitter and Salty is brought to you weekly by Molsan and Sláinte.

    Comments

    From Meat:

    So you want raiding level blacksmithing plans for non-raiders via “epic” questlines? Is not the game easy enough for you already? There are 496 plans in this first tier that are indeed BoE as well as the patterns themselves, merely takes gold. Yet you suggest “epic” quests so you don’t have to raid, I know why not just take raiding out of the game and people can just quest all day for all thier epic gear and patterns, because obviously players love doing this already via this new dailies system MoP has…….

    • Bitter and Salty – Episode 18 – Ghost Iron Crawler

    Author: Bitter and Salty

    Feb 6

    In the eighteenth World of Warcraft podcast episode, we are not panicking about Ghost Iron Ore and the changes to leveling Blacksmithing in 5.2, we buy Battle Pets through the RMAH, we figure out that JCs can make their own Primal Diamonds, we discuss auction house ethics when someone mistakenly lists an item too low, we walk you through using a script to retrieve item IDs from Wowhead, and we realize that it’s time to get organized.

    Bitter and Salty is brought to you weekly by Molsan and Sláinte.

    The Great Ghost Iron Ore Debacle of 2013

    • Buy and Hold? Who cares; buy and prospect? Panic?!?
    • Blacksmith Leveling Kits
      • What are leveling kits?
        • Leveling a profession from 1-600

    Battle Pets Now Listed in the RMAH

    • YES! Now what? Available for scanning yet?

    Call from Strumpet – Pet Battle Update

    Professions

    • Jewelcrafting
      • Design: Primal Diamond
        • Takes 5 of each uncommon MoP gems and 1 Spirit of Harmony
        • JCs can make use of the SoHs, but if you have an xMute Alchemist, is this better?
        • http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=95471

    Noob Tip

    Marketplace Ethics

    • Email from Postblue (night elf hunter, is there any other kind of hunter?)
      • “I have a question, when you find a market mistake I.E. is it ethical to proceed with flipping the item.  I found and item posted for 1k that regularly sells for 25-30k and was very excited.  The person that made the mistake contacted me in game and explained he simply posted it wrong. He then proceeded to offer me 2K for it back which I thought was low.  After a little banter I declined to return it to him because I felt it was his responsibility and not mine to post his auctions right. What do you think?”

    How to Setup Wowuction Broker with Items from Wowhead

    __rows = $("#lv-items table tbody tr");

__itemids = "";
    __rows.each(function() {
    __cells = $(this).children("td");
    __itemname = $(__cells[2]).find("a").text();
    __itemlink = $(__cells[2]).find("a").attr("href");
    __itemids += __itemlink.substr(6)+",";
    });
    __newOutputrow = $("<div />");
    __newOutputrow.text(__itemids.substr(0,__itemids.length-1));
    __newOutputrow.appendTo("body");
    • Copy and paste comma-separated list into Wowuction and categorize your items by naming the list (i.e. “Herald of the Titans BoEs”)
    • Update prices on broker sheet and enable email notification

    Hey, just listened to episode 16 and 17. figured molsen felt like the tank should be geared first and I totally agree.

    But Your plan for the gearing is not optimized so after giving it a fast thought I came up with a easy suggestion.

    you would need the best gear on all Your 10 level 80s.

    hopefully you are not stacking a class so just split up the group in half, 5 80s with diffrent needs of loot and the other half bring their level 90 and boosts you though it all for gear.

    (like at freya you leave the 80s at the middle circle, run inn with the 5 90s and zerg her and out. if you run by water with strider you can manage to pull like zero adds)

    after the run is Complete, you swap. the next group of 80s and the 5 90s.

    Lately Ive been doing ulduar 10 for the proto drake Mount, we was a monk winder Walker 90 and a hunter 90 survival 90. struggeled only with yogg  +1 guardian =)

    I dont know if it tracks flasks or you allready know but cata flasks only require leve 80 =) as the MoP flasks require level 85 (great for leveling)

    I hope this is readable and that you get my point =)

    Friendly regards from a huge Norwegian bitter and salty fan =)
