In the forty-third World of Warcraft podcast episode, we are ready for WoW to go free-to-play and are buying the vanity helms from the Blizzard store but not really, the Isle of Thunder is new to those of us that have never been, we talk video card upgrades for multi-monitor gaming, we debate about whether or not the leveling challenge permanently changed us, we are intrigued and confused by flex raiding, we lack focus and try to get back to our normal routines in game, we throw out an idea for what to do with the generous donation to the guild bank, and we choose our one, favorite pet for our Thirty Weeks of World of Warcraft.
Bitter and Salty is brought to you weekly by Molsan and Sláinte.
Helms of the Blizzard Store
I have lots to say about this and people will not like me or what I have to say. Love, Molsan.
Sláinte Went to Thunder Island!
How was it? Did you do Treasure Room?!?
Any chance we can have a hardware show?
New NVIDIA card: EVGA GTX650Ti
But then I found out I only need one card as the 650 has four outputs.
Audio from Mystery Man
Leveling changed us… we’re not the same
Sláinte keeping DK, Molsan are you?
Molsan: Yes and buying pets after the Foxely debacle
Flex raiding
Looks more and more intriguing the closer it gets into game.
Achievement Roulette Results
Molsan – Done! I now know more about Unga Ingoo than I wanted to know

Sláinte – Thank you WoWHead!
WoW A.D.D.
How to focus on one achievement/FoS/whatever and not get distracted by other shiny things
Auction House Routine
Do you cycle your auctions at the same time? Different days/times? Whenever?
The Big Guild Bank Donation
Ideas on what to do with the gold
Build new Molsan Method that looks up various pet-related achievement (i.e. Raiding with Leashes)… if incomplete, but one ore more pets are owned, we pick players at random and help acquire pets for them.

@bitterandsalty Disgusting Oozling. It's green and turns me green. It's relatively hard to get, so makes others green with envy. Expunge!

@Molsan @bitterandsalty Humar, the black lion. He was my first rare hunter pet and I still have him from vanilla & I love him & squeeze him

@Molsan @bitterandsalty The Plump Turkey companion pet, because nothing beats him "sensing his destiny" when standing by a campfire.

@Molsan @bitterandsalty Only one?!?! It’s hard to choose! One would be Crawling Claw – love Rock, Paper, Scissors 🙂

@Molsan @bitterandsalty The fossilized hatchling from archaeology by far my favourite. Looking forward to the next show guys! Cheers 🙂

@Molsan @bitterandsalty my wolf Tahyo. He was my constant companion through all of Wrath.

@bitterandsalty @RealmPodcast #TWoWoW Favorite pet is my cat, Celeborn, the very first pet I tamed (when you had to tame @ level 10!)

@bitterandsalty Molten Hatchling: massively underrated pet. Awesome all around heal/dam/util + kick butt graphics. pic.twitter.com/cwQSEdH8di

@bitterandsalty Favorite battleground in Alterac Valley. Even without gear I will go run it when I just want to pown some allies.

Hey Guys!!
Despite having a growing menagerie of non-combat pets, I have to say that my favourite would have to be my warlock minions. Those guys have been with me through thick and thin! I think I relate to them because they came with their own names, unlike hunter and non-combat pets. I forgot what patch it was, but I was really upset when we got “upgraded” minions, and their names changed; I was quite elated when Blizzard decided to restore their old names!
Naltip my imp would have to see the most action with me, even though I know now that’s really noobish and I should be using my Felhunter.
I think my most appropriately named minion is my Succubus, Heltai. I always read it as Hentai. Deal with it!
ps. Sorry about the radio silence ; internet in the back-blocks of Texas is worse than Australia! Which is the answer for next week – 3 weeks holiday being the longest I’ve gone without playing.
pps Very quick catchup : People, people, warlock, Benediction (yes, on Ashayo v1), any where I win and don’t get constantly killed or stunlocked by a rogue (probably AV)

Big Grats and much love to both @SaltySlainte and @Molsan for finishing the @Bitterandsalty Double Agent challenge with class and aplomb!

@bitterandsalty The joy of battlepets is letting your two year old son name them – like Foxybanana (Alpine Foxling) & Jazzymitts (Chicken.)

@bitterandsalty Enjoyed the episode! Glad you guys are besties again. I was starting to think I'd have to split my time with you at Blizzcon

Blizzcon Tip #3
Eat outside the box – TRY to go away from walking distance to eat some SoCal favs.
i.e. Habit Burger (Santa Ana is closest). although Subway rulez
Molsan’s Blizzcon Eating Tip #3: ALMONDS
