I have just been dedicating more time to Cata and holiday knitting (which still isn&#8217;t done \ud83d\ude41 ) &#8230;I always stack my plate full and think I can finish all of it in a week, but, whatever, that&#8217;s not what you&#8217;re here for ^_^<\/p>\n<p>If you have not already experience it, I added a new feature to all the pictures in the articles. Once click on a picture, you can scroll through all the pictures on that page. I think it&#8217;s pretty neat, and works great for browsing through the<a href=\"http:\/\/wowrpc.waddellconsulting.com\/?page_id=83\" target=_blank> Hallow&#8217;s End Costume Contest entries<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I also went back and updated the <a href=\"http:\/\/wowrpc.waddellconsulting.com\/?page_id=529\" target=_blank>Fishing<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/wowrpc.waddellconsulting.com\/?page_id=531\" target=_blank>Cooking<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/wowrpc.waddellconsulting.com\/?page_id=533\" target=_blank>Workman<\/a> articles with new items from Cataclsym quests.<\/p>\n<p>And I just added a new article under the Spirit of Azeroth collection: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wowrpc.waddellconsulting.com\/?page_id=3194\" target=_blank>Dalaran City Outfits<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Cataclysm has really thrown me for a loop, and it will take some time to go through what items are still in-game, and those that have been changed\/deleted. Last month, I was going through Merlaina&#8217;s gear saved in her bank, and noticed some of my favorite pieces that I went back to get for her, have thus changed since the expansion. Items like, the once unique purple &#8220;swashbuckler shirt-like&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=33229\" target=_blank>Mordant&#8217;s Travel Tunic<\/a> (now a typical Cataclysm style tunic), and the once purple floppy hat, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=33244\" target=_blank>Wanderer&#8217;s Cover<\/a> (now a&#8230;head-brace&#8230;of sorts), have been changed forever, along with most of the starting levels quest rewards for all races. They even changed the look of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=33242\" target=_blank>Raptorhide Legguards<\/a>, the most coveted pants for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/npc=727\" target=_blank>Ironforge Mountaineer<\/a> outfit&#8230;.gone.<\/p>\n<p>\/Sad sigh.<\/p>\n<p>I do not understand why they would go and change such classics. I just deleted those Cata-merized items from Merlaina&#8217;s inventory. What is the point of keeping them now? They are not anything special. <\/p>\n<p>And, I really do not know this for sure (if you do, please let me know), but I fear the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowwiki.com\/Dungeon_Set_1\" target=_blank>classic dungeon gear (Tier 0)<\/a> is gone from the game, as well (which kills any classic class RP outfits&#8230;because those armor pieces were not class specific). I know that the dungeon boss in Stratholme that dropped all the leg armor from each of these classic sets, <a href=\"http:\/\/old.wowhead.com\/npc=10440\" target=_blank>Baron Rivendare<\/a>, has been removed and replaced with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/npc=45412\" target=_blank>Lord Aurius Rivendare<\/a>. This new NPC has the same loot table, except for all the leg armor. So, why would they remove just the leg armor from these sets?&#8230;the other pieces are still listed on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/\" target=_blank>Wowhead<\/a> as random drops from whatever dungeons. But then, I read at some places that say the entire sets have been removed&#8230;so why are the dungeons still there; I mean, what would be the point in running them? In my opinion, there is no real incentive to go back to them. I used pieces from some of these sets in my new <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wowrpc.waddellconsulting.com\/?page_id=3194\" target=_blank>Dalaran City Outfits<\/a><\/strong> article, so, just a heads up&#8230;if you see something you like, you may not be able to get quite that look and will have to use alternatives to those Tier 0 pieces that were used \ud83d\ude41 .<\/p>\n<p>I apologize for this soap box, but, I hope I&#8217;m not the only one that feels a little let down by the game changes. While I enjoy most of the new items that have been added, there really isn&#8217;t anything left to old on to from the classic WoW, is there. Burning Crusade is the new Vanilla! ^_^ <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But not anymore! I&#8217;m finally back! &#8230;Though, I was never really gone from this site.
