Working on Loremaster Achievement

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

Well, the last few months I have been working on getting the Loremaster achievement done for my main hunter. I think it’s going to take quite a while before I can get everything finished. But I have been working on it when I don’t find anything else to do in the game. I have a few things like that I love to do, like transmog runs to fill out the collection. I think I love doing that so much because I’m a collector at heart with no space in my real life to collect, so the next best thing is doing it virtually. That way, I can have the satisfaction of collecting without the space constraints.

I managed to get the Outlands achievement done a few months ago. I’m proud of it.

It’s something that I wanted to get done for a while. I never seem to get it done on one character, as I have always wanted to move to another class when I have the time to play. So for that, I have committed myself to only work on Loremaster with my main hunter for the rest of the progression through it.

I’m loving the fact, but I can work on this when I want to at my own pace. There will be a point where I have done everything, and that day will be pretty exciting, but also I’m dreading the day that I don’t have Loremaster to work on when I don’t have anything else to do during the low content drought between expansions.

With everything that is going on, I want to keep working on getting the Loremaster achievement. I’m hoping to get it done in 2024 as this is one of my goals. I have been streaming on Twitch.tv/themythicaloak, so I’m looking forward to more of a year of streaming.

FOR THE HORDE!

I guess around December I decided to switch from being an alliance player to the horde. I needed something new for a while. There was no guilds that were casual enough for my play style of today. So I will continue to play as a tauren hunter, which is my main character and always will be. I’m happy to add a Tauren Warlock to my list of characters. I have made him this past weekend and I have been having a lot of fun with the warlock class. There are a lot of updates on the warlock class and I haven’t been able to look into them all yet but I hope to get to that soon. I will just have to level him and learn about the new things at the same time.

I’m hoping to like it on the realm “Thrall” I have been playing on “Proudmoore” for a long time. I think it’s been like 7 years, I’m liking the change so far. I hope to make Thrall my new home for a while.

In resent months I have been playing on Thrall and I find I want to go back to Proudmoore because I just transferred over my hunter and so I have to start again with all my other characters. Every time I want to play a class I have to start over, this has lead me to go back to my alliance character instead of working on my horde version.

I think I just need to stick with it. I want to keep going, once I make it so a point where I want to stay I will stay. I think I am rambling so I will leave it at this.

Thanks for reading.

Turning 10 Years Old. Congratz The Creative Craft

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

As of today, this blog turns 10 years old. I can’t believe I have been writing on and off for the past 10 years. I know that this blog has not been the most up-to-date piece of the internet I have, but I like to call it home for my thoughts about World of Warcraft and any gaming I do in general. I would like to take this time to thank everyone that is still around and reading. I would love to keep this blog going for another 10 years. I just hope that it will be more active than what I have been doing so far. To the next 10 years!

Been Streamin’

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

So I have been streaming over at twitch.tv/themythicaloak and I have been having a lot of fun lately. This is something new that I have been into for a little bit. I have been pumping up my production as of late. I still don’t have a face cam but I will in the future. As for right now I have been just getting used to streaming for a long time at a time. I’m used to taking a lot of breaks when gaming. It’s something that I have been doing to help with the mental part of gaming all weekend. without having issues.

There is a point where I need to take breaks but I need to keep going on stream that seems like the hardest part of gaming when streaming. People don’t tell you that part when they tell you all about streaming.

Anyways I have been wanting to keep going and I just wanted to update everyone on things that are happening over at thecreativecraft.

Trading Post

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

Well I have been playing some wow for a while and I think I found something that I can enjoy for a while, the trading post is something that I have been waiting for, for a long time. I find myself lost on what to do in World of Warcraft without a checklist or some kind of list that I can follow or else I’m just sitting in a city wondering what to do.

The trading post is revolutionary for me. It might not sound like much to other people, but for me, it seems like something I can always come back to when I have nothing to do in the game. That being said, I like to collect transmog sets as well. Anything transmog related is something I love to do in the game since the release of transmogrification in Cataclysm. This seems to be like a system that they will keep implementing new items and goals to hit every month. I hope to see some pretty cool looking items come into the trading post in the coming months.

Trading Post in the Valley of Strength, Orgrimmar.
Trading Post in the Canals, Stormwind City – Next to the Stockades dungeon entrance

As I continue my adventures through this expansion, I’m finding a lot more things to do then in the last one. I’m hoping World of Warcraft is on the upward movement to become a better game and that Blizzard Entertainment is on their way to fix some of the issues they’ve had during the past year. I think I’m getting off topic a little bit here but as a game that has been running for 19 years I find that there needs to be something innovative yet not totally out there that people don’t want to play or find that it has nothing to do with the game that they started 19 years ago.

Overall the trading post seems to be a great addition to the game for a casual players. As I’m a casual player myself, I can appreciate all the hard work they are putting into the game for players like myself. I just hope they keep adding new things for the hard-core player base to make sure everyone is getting something that they enjoy playing.

The New Site Layout

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

I have been trying to figure out a new way to lay the blog up for a while. I wanted to keep it the same as what I had it back in the day but It’s time to change it. This new layout is a simple clean and to the point out my newest blog post.

This will be a better layout I think and I hope it will be better for the reader as well. Thanks for everyone’s interest.

Death Knight…among other topics..

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

I have been enjoying my death knight, I have been trying out the Blood Spec. I have never used this spec before but right now I am killing mobs pretty quickly with no issues staying alive. This is what I want in a tank class. I find my paladin so slow to take mobs down but I can stay alive forever it seems. I want to make sure I get this class to 60 and get some gear for it. Right now there isn’t much I want to do other then get some Loremaster done as I was talking about in the last post.

This seems to be the best choice to play for right now. I have been looking forward to Blizzard coming out with a new expansion pack, I’ve been wanting to get away from shadowlands. I haven’t been enjoying it like all the other expansion packs. I think it’s because it’s not on Azeroth. I just hope that this new one is going to be set in an area that doesn’t feel like where shadowlands took us.

Anyways I have been enjoying wow at times. It’s a good idea to keep a list of things to get done in the game. That way you don’t have any issues with being bored of the content that you have to wait a long time to get. I think a lot of the reason is because of the pandemic and the fact that Blizzard has gone through some employment changes because of the lawsuits they have had regarding the treatment of employees. I didn’t want to do a post about this so I wanted to say something fast here.

I will keep playing the game until it dies or if there is a huge problem, but I don’t see the game going down anytime soon. Specially after the price Microsoft is paying for Activision-Blizzard-King.

Update on WoW Characters

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

Right now I will list off all the Characters and classes I have on WoW as of March 9, 2022

  • Hunter – 60
  • Paladin – 60
  • Monk – 55
  • Warlock – 53
  • Death Knight – 51
  • Shaman – 51
  • Demon Hunter – 51
  • Druid – 50
  • Mage – 50
  • Warrior – 50
  • Rogue – 50
  • Priest – 33

I seem to have every class in the game on my list within the alliance. I love that I have all the classes as I want to start working on getting the Transmog sets for all my characters. There is one thing that keeps me playing even if the game gets to a boring with no new content place. I always have transmogs and Loremaster to get done. I have quite a bit to go for that as well. My Progress is below.

As you can see I have been working on it for years whenever there is some down time in content, but I still have a long way to go. I really want to get this achievement. This achievement has been one of my goals since the beginning. I want to walk around WoW with that Title and Tabard. It would be something that I can be proud of from the game. I will be working more of it as this patch that has come out. Shadowlands: Eternity’s End doesn’t seem to be doing it anymore for me, but that will be explained in another post.

Are Blogs still a thing?

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

For a while I have been away from this blog but I have been finding myself coming back to it form time to time. I want to keep using it but I don’t know what to use it for. I still play wow but I find I don’t have the amount of time to blog about it anymore.

There is a part of me that still wants this part of the internet as my home. Somewhere to write without having to worry about any social media. It has been online since 2013. That is a long time as it’s 2022 now. I do like the fact I have a blog from that long ago. I doubt many people still read here for the time being. It’s been pretty dead for a long time, I can see if there’s no one that will want to be here but I would like to change that as some point. Since going to college and working after I finished school, I haven’t had the time to do anything like this again. I keep saying that I will do something with this blog but it always fall short of doing anything. I’m sorry for that.

Anyways I will look into what I want to do. I may have some time that I will spend on this site. It will need some good amount of work to get it up and running. When I find the things I want to write about. Thanks for the people that come back and read this. I hope everyone is doing well.

Still trying to find….

Well I think it’s time to start looking for the next thing to do with my free time. Video games are eating up all my time. I have a draw to World of Warcraft, it’s a game I feel comfortable playing but right now I haven’t been happy playing. I don’t think it’s the lack of content because of this pandemic. I think I’m getting sick of the game.

Shadowlands has not interested me since I started playing that expansion. There are too many dailies that I can’t get to most of the time. Wish there was stuff to do like in legion where we had transmog weapons that you could get for your main artifact weapon, but there is not. So I’m stuck with doing nothing but dailies.

Have been thinking about trying some indie games lately. Just need to find some for macOS and that will run on my Mac. I was searching on steam and found Littlewood. I will be playing that for the next while. I will give an update on that soon.
