Artist Christina Marie’s WoW-themed work is nothing if not saturated — saturated with color, saturated with game references, saturated with humor. It’s the kind of stuff you can toss onto your desktop and then promptly lose vast chunks of time peering and snorting in bemused delight at the details scattered across these works. (Because I whipped up the Christina Marie art gallery, below, in just minutes. Without any linking or idle chatter in the website newsroom. You believe that, right? Right?) Her talent for twisting elements together (elements of art, elements of the game … you name it) earned her a nod from Blizzard itself with inclusion in its 2011 holiday fan art calendar (as was our own Kelly Aarons). World of WarCrafts visited with Christina Marie to find out where the deluge of color and inspiration comes from.

Oren.1 is the paladin interface, showing all of the pertinent buffs on the target at the bottom of the Grid frame, with built-in timers from the excellent addon OmniCC. Bati is the priest Grid setup, displaying shields, Weakened Soul, Prayer of Mending and other vital priest information right on the Grid frame. Paired with a PoM counter addon, this setup proves very powerful for priests.

Shaman is, obviously, the restoration shaman profile, sporting Earth Shield and Riptide trackers. Personally, as a resto shaman myself occasionally, I’ve found most healing user interfaces that are too complex become only hindrances. Less has always been better for me as a shaman healer, but your mileage may vary. Bati’s shaman setup is still in a state of flux, however, so any capable shaman should hit up Bati with some tips!

Maiie is the druid interface, and while I don’t have much druid healing experience, I asked my buddy and he said it looked great. So yay, druids!

Arena is a profile setting that surprised me.mostly because of how come simple.

Arena is a profile setting that surprised me, mostly because of how some simple changes to Grid can have such a dramatic effect on the PvP healing game. Bati’s specific arena setup runs with paladins in mind, but easy tweaks should be enough to let any healer make use of the basic work done. Enabling the arena setting nets a bigger Grid layout, with larger debuff icons for quicker recognition of what needs to be removed — an excellent choice for the beginner arena player. Speaking of arenas, all of you who have been begging for some PvP talk on Reader UI of the Week should definitely tune in next Tuesday (hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge).

The Grid layouts Bati has created can also be found in a larger UI compilation known as Bati’s UI, an excellent minimalist setup that is eye-catching and well crafted. For those of you looking to overhaul your entire user interface, Bati’s would make an excellent learning tool, reference guide or just a place to snag some ideas from. I cannot commend Bati enough for putting together such a simple to use, multi-class and multi-role user interface.

Mining works well with three other professions which are Blacksmithing, Engineering, and Jewelcrafting. With Blacksmithing, everything that you will need to make is done by first mining. This also applies to Jewelcrafting as well as Engineering, everything that you need will have to be mined.

These three professions will suit you the best with Mining. Keep in mind that with these professions, if you elect against mining, you will be responsible to purchase your metals and gems which will be fairly expensive. Remember that Mining is a primary skill and you can have only one other primary profession, keep this in mind when choosing to learn or unlearn.

To get your mining career off to an actual start you will have to be trained. First you will need to buy a Mining Pick, which should remain with you at all times. Then find a trainer which should be pretty easy to find, as they are located in several cities.

One of the bonuses of choosing Mining as one primary profession is that it comes with Find Minerals and Smelting. These two things will benefit you abundantly along the way. With Find Minerals this is a skill that will show you on the radar where there are mineral deposits and how close they are. Smelting will assist in converting your ore into metals that are usable.

Skills 1-65—Copper

This will be for the most part pretty short and sweet, as this is the easiest metal to find and mine. If you would like you can choose to just buy the copper and move on to the next skill. You can look for copper in the starting areas and the lower level zones. Some areas to keep in mind are Loch Modan, Durotar, Dun Morogh and the Northern areas of the Barrens.

Skills 65-125—Tin

Collecting tin is generally easy and should not give you much of a problem. If anything it may become a bit more difficult as you get higher through the levels. Look for the tin at the auctions, as you may be able to find a good and cheap deal on it.

Skills 125-175—Iron

There are several zones to gather Iron, listed here are some: Hillsbrad Foothills, Searing George, Arathi Highlands, Desolace, Duskwood, Tanaris, Thousand Needles, and Swamp of Sorrows.

Skills 175-250—Mithril

Listed here are zones to find Mithril: Thousand Needles, Western Plaguelands, Stranglethorn Vale, Dustwallow Marsh, Azshara, Alterac Mountains, Felwood, Hillsbrad Foothills, Silithus, and Feralas.

Here you will want to look for thorium veins. These will help you get a lot of gold and get that gold quickly!

Skills 250-300—Thorium

Again, here is the list of places to mine: Winterspring, Azshara, Un’goro Crater, Burning Steppes, Searing George, Eastern Plaguelands, and Blasted Lands.

And the end,I hope you enjoy the time.

And yes, it still does come with all the old stuff, including Alliance or Horde branding, all the Warcraft software, and a bunch of other goodies including those beta keys that we still have no idea are for. Where Dell found $1000 to cut out of that deal we can’t figure either, unless… you don’t think they were just topping more than a cool grand of straight profit on this deal, were they? Sneaky moneymaking bastards!

Update: Apparently we now know where they got $1000 out of the deal — it doesn’t come with all the extras any more. According to reader DevilStick, who chatted with a Dell sales rep, all it comes with is the mousepad and possibly a laptop bag. So the novels, the beta keys, and all of the books and other goodies were limited time only.

Update II: Dell themselves have contacted us with the news that the sales rep DevilStick chatted with was wrong: even at the lower price, it still does come with all the goodies. So if $5k was too much, but $4k is worth it to you to have “the ultimate Warcraft laptop,” order away.From wow.com.

It’s been a busy seven days in MMO news as we gear up for the release of two games next week: Star Trek Online and Global Agenda. In addition, be sure to check out our brand new columns rolling out for specific focus games such as Guild Wars, Final Fantasy XIV and more to come!

	Captain’s Log: A non-trekkie guide to Star Trek Online Perhaps you’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about Star Trek Online lately. Or, perhaps you’re reading this article in the year 2018, after the robots have begun their bloody revolt. Either way, you’ve never been way into Star Trek, but find yourself curious about this new MMO based on the franchise. In that cast, this iteration of Captain’s Log is just for you.
	Court documents say Bethesda’s MMO already under dev, rumor says it’s Elder Scrolls In this most recent round of court scuffles between Interplay and Bethesda over the Fallout MMO rights, it would seem that some details are coming to light about what’s going on at Bethesda’s MMO “branch”, Zenimax Media. According to filings, the word is that there are close to 100 people working on an MMO that costs “tens and tens of millions of dollars” and has been under development since late 2006.
	The sounds of Guild Wars 2: a Q&A with ArenaNet’s Audio Director A recent discussion has been going on regarding sound effects and ambient sounds, with everyone generally agreeing that those details are a wonderful addition to a game environment — the more the better. Guild Wars is a game that already does this well, with details such as a change in the sound of footsteps depending on the surface one is walking on. Fans have the expectation and hope that things will be even better in Guild Wars 2.

	Masthead Studios and Interplay finalize agreement for Fallout MMO We have another step forward in the long-running saga of the Fallout MMO. Late last week, Interplay announced that they had signed “definitive agreements” with Masthead Studios regarding Project: V13, the highly contested post-apocalyptic MMO. We knew this development was a possibility, but things have been delayed by the legal battles with Bethesda.
	The Virtual Whirl: Community guide to Virtual Worlds Welcome to The Virtual Whirl, a new weekly Massively column covering virtual environments generally. The term ‘virtual world’ is slowly seeing less use, being supplanted by the more general ‘virtual environment’, but the world term still has a fair bit of life left in it.
	The Mog Log: Community guide to Final Fantasy XI and XIV The great thing about being a fan of Final Fantasy XI is that you’re not lacking in any sort of resources online. After such a long lifespan, pages have been created to suit almost any need the community might have. And for a game whose mechanics can be obtuse at times, that’s a good thing.
	The Flameseeker Chronicles: Community guide to Guild Wars Guild Wars has been around for a while now, and has the advantage of a strong, knowledgeable fan-based community. There are literally hundreds of fan sites and forums, Twitter pages and Facebook pages all devoted to Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2. It’s very easy to get overwhelmed, so view this as a guide to where you can find the most comprehensive information for whatever you are looking for, be it gameplay information, news on game development, skill and build help, and much more.
	Fan questions answered in DCUO Q&A video SOE Austin recently put up a call for DC Universe Online fans to ask questions via Facebook for a video Q&A. Well, the team’s answers are now live over at the social networking site and we think you’ll be pleased with the results.
	Star Trek Online 101: Currency Welcome to the first edition of Star Trek Online 101. Over the next week and a half we’ll be taking a look basic skills and information you need to be successful in STO. Each day we’ll look at a different subject, and we’ll kick it all off by talking about the different types of STO currency.
	Global Agenda early start and preorder bonuses detailed You’ve gotten all the news and updates, and you’ve even gotten a handy guide to conquest mode for Global Agenda. If you’re ever going to be ready for Hi-Rez Studio’s high-action game, it’s now. So it’s no coincidence that we’ve gotten news on the game’s pre-purchase options, as well as the early start details for all players and the chance to reserve your character name prior to the February 1st launch date. After all, if you’ve gotten the game via Steam, don’t you want to just download and start playing right away? That little grayed-out name is mocking you.
	Star Trek Online character customization in pictures Cryptic Studios, the developer behind Star Trek Online, is well known for their character customization options. I know that I spent more time making characters in City of Heroes than beating up bad guys. Cryptic has brought that same design aesthetic to STO. For those of you not currently in open Beta, I’ve captured a gallery of shots below spotlighting all the available races in open beta (Federation and Klingon factions.)
	Massively’s Guide to the Character Traits of Star Trek Online Star Trek Online offers several levels of character customization beyond the visual aspects, and that first level the player is introduced to is character traits. You select these traits when creating your character, and the choices are numerous. In Massively’s guide to the character traits of Star Trek Online, we’ll look at the different classes of traits and suggest some builds to get you started.

Erschien ein interessanter Thread bis in den Foren vor wenigen Tagen, dass ich hier auf WoW.com–was Rollen haben Sie versucht, im Spiel, unseren Lesern Fragen wollte, und die Experimente mit anderen Rollen geändert hat, wie Sie insgesamt spielen?

Rechts jetzt meine wichtigsten verbringt Ihre Zeit Rolle und Heilung auf ein noch 50/50 aufteilen. Die Heilung mich einen Tank mehr aufmerksam gemacht; ich habe eine bessere Wertschätzung von was eine Heilung-Team durchläuft, um meine furry Keule lebendig zu halten. Rolle noch nicht genau machte mich eine bessere Heiler–die zwei Rollen sind so verschieden, dass ich bis wiederherstellen einen Teil der meine UI beim Springen zwischen Ihnen sogar wind–, aber es hat mich gemacht werden, weitere vergaben der Tank Fehler und verließ mich auch in einer besseren Position zu ermitteln, ob ein Problem das Ergebnis der Behälter oder eine andere Gruppenmitglied ist. Damage-Wise? Seltsamerweise, hat als spielen eine Tank/Heiler für so lange mich zu einem zögerlich DPS bestenfalls gemacht. Ich hasse Aggro an jeder als einem Tank zu verlieren und hassen Heilung oblivious DPS, ziehen Sie Sie, und, ist mir unglaublich paranoide über meine Bedrohung als ein DPS gemacht. Ich anschauen Omen Weise mehr, als ich meine Rotation kümmern.

So welche Rolle spielen Sie normalerweise im Spiel? Wenn Sie Rollen überhaupt ändern, Sie merken Erfahrung aus einer Rolle mit gleicher Wirkung auf wie Sie andere spielen?

Nahkampf-bekämpfen? Barbarischen. Heilung? Wie Fußgängerzone. Lassen Sie die Elemente der sprechen tun. Totem Talk: elementare. Von Mike Sacco Ihnen gebracht.

Wenn Sie hier sind und lesen dies, Sie haben wahrscheinlich entschieden diese elementaren werden eine der zwei möglichen Spezifikationen ihre Schamane, und Sie erhalten eine gute verstehen, wie es alle, funktioniert bevor Sie in Tauchen möchten. Jungfernfahrt des Totem Talk elementare Ausgabe soll Ihnen alles, was Sie wissen, um als eine der einfachsten Spezifikationen des Spiels, von Mechanik, Räderpaar auf Rotation Einstieg müssen.

Was es nicht sollen die werden-All-Ende-All der elementare Theorycrafting ist. Tauchen Sie wir werden in komplexere Sachen später ein.

Los geht ’s!
1. Was ist elementar?

Elementare ist der Angebot DPS-Baum, der der Schamane-Klasse verfügbar. Sie beschäftigen Schäden aus der Ferne mit der Natur und Fire buchstabiert.

2. Elementare Vorteile

Eine einfache Drehung und einfache Mechanik. Schaden wird drastisch erhöht, sobald Sie Lava-Serie und machen Sie zuständigen DPS sofort auf 80 erwerben. Viele der Stärkungszauber fast jeder Klasse/Spezifikation, die Sie mit Partei konnte. Kleines Geheimnis in Gang Upgrades. 3. Elementare Nachteile

Eine langweilig Rotation. Nur wenig zum für ansehen oder verfolgen. Ihre Schaden skalieren nicht auch mit zunehmend hohes Leistungspotenzial, die im Vergleich zu anderen Klassen/technische Daten nach der anfänglichen Boost von Lava Burst. Sie werden feststellen. Einige “einzigartige” Stärkungszauber und viele Jazzbegeisterte, die durch jene von anderen Klassen bereitgestellten trivialized sind. Hoch spezialisierten Gear bedeutet, es ist schwieriger um zu finden von Bosse– und Blizzard nicht bieten viel Emblem Ausrüstung geeignet für elementar, entweder. Elementaren hat einige sinnvoll Instant-Webcast-Zauber oder Punkte, dadurch unwirksam bei jedem Kampf, die beinhaltet verschieben um. 4. Statistiken für das Suchen nach

Neben dem allgegenwärtig Intelligenz und Ausdauer, die auf die Fanggeräte trotzdem soll werden, werden Sie für die vier wichtigsten Stats suchen:

Buchstabiere macht. Sie möchten natürlich viel davon. Mehr Buchstabiere macht entspricht mehr Schaden. Eile. Eile ist zwei wichtige Dinge: erhöht die Geschwindigkeit der Spellcasting, so dass Sie weitere Zauber in Ihre Rotation zwischen Cooldowns; passen und verringert Ihre globale Abklingzeit nach unten auf ein Minimum von einer Sekunde, so dass Sie weitere Zauber in kürzere Zeiträume umgewandelt. Crit-Rating. Neben der offensichtlichen Faktor mehr ihre Zaubersprüche kritische Streiks zu machen hilft bei Crit Bewertung auch wichtige elementare Talente, wie z. B. Clearcasting und elementare Oath aktiv bleiben. Rating-der Ball landet. Elementare Schamane sollten konzentrieren sich auf die Buchstabiere-hit-Kappe so bald wie möglich zu schlagen. Sie möchten insgesamt 14 Prozent oder 368 Bewertung, wenn Sie sind alles andere als eine Draenei, die 13 % oder 342 Bewertung benötigen. Denken Sie daran: Nachdem Sie 14 % getroffen haben, ist Hit 100 % nutzlos. Hinsichtlich der Priorität es hat: Hit (bis capped), Stromversorgung, hast, dann crit. Buchstabiere
5. Statistiken zu vermeiden

Ebenso wichtig wie suchen ist für was nicht nach zu suchen.

Geist. Dies ist kein “Schamane Stat.” Keine der Schamane-Spezifikationen, elementar enthalten, haben Talente, die uns zusätzliche Vorteile von Geist und offen gesagt, unsere integrierte Mana Regen ist reichlich. MP/5. Zwar ist es eine gute Stat für Wiederherstellung, benötigen nicht Elementarwesen es. Vermeiden Sie es. Es gibt Ausnahmen, diesen Vorschriften, wenn Sie – viele von den ersten verfügbaren Post-80-Badge-Ringen haben einige nützlichen Statistiken (SP, Eile/Crit) aber auch Geist auf Sie haben. Wenn Sie die besten, sind, die Sie bekommen oder es sich leisten können, ist es in Ordnung, Getriebe mit ein wenig Geist oder mp5 als eine lindernde haben, bis Sie etwas besser erreichen können.

There’s nothing sweeter than finding a way to fold one passion into another. Maybe that’s why we love Warcraft cakes so much? Of course, it could be as simple as the intersection of good taste and tastes good. Yeah, that’s it.

This week, World of WarCrafts brings you a virtual patisserie of WoW delectables. First up, we visit with another winner from Blizzard’s Holiday Dessert Contest. Next, we’ll show you how they celebrate weddings in Mulgore (hint: it’s all cake, baby). Finally, brace yourselves, because we bring you the ultimate gingerbread house: Snaxxramas.

Kharti from <Utility> of US Dragonmaw-H is so crazy for WoW cakes (more than just the award-winning Frostmourne extravaganza introducing this post) that we needed to create a photo gallery to hold all the photos. And fortunately for us (because peeking behind the scenes at what goes on in the kitchen is the yummiest part), Kharti loves to talk cakes. Although she’s a full-time IT professional in the real world, she also holds a degree in patisserie and baking and bakes as often as possible for her friends and family.

Everything about Kharti’s Frostmourne cake was made completely from scratch and is completely edible — not even any internal support or wires — over two sugar-crazed days, with the assistance of Kharti’s guildmate and boyfriend, Aeon. “Needless to say, our apartment was chaos for those two days as I scrambled to finish the cake a week before the submission date so we could bring it to a party that our guild was having that weekend,” Kharti remembers. “On a side note, we have a really cool raiding guild that is based largely out of Portland, Oregon. We get together regularly for guild parties that are usually pretty chill but have gotten pretty wild on occasion. Our shindigs are so well known in the guild that we regularly have members attend from out of state (Washington, Wisconsin , California and Arizona), and our planned summer gathering may be attended by several Canadian guildies and even one from Venezuela!”

So this cake definitely had a destiny to fulfill, in more ways than one. Fueling the effort were some 15 pounds of sugar, 5 dozen egg whites, 4 pounds of butter, 2.5 pounds of shortening, 3.75 pounds of milk, 3.75 pounds of flour, 2 pounds of powdered sugar and various other small ingredients. “We underestimated the amount of materials we needed and had to make several return trips to the store,” Kharti confesses. “The end result was a cake that weighed somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 pounds, was 5 inches tall, 12 inches wide, 16 inches long and had decorations that broke the 14-inch mark. It took two people to carry, barely fit in the car — and when the base was cooling, we had to take everything out of the refrigerator plus we had to move the refrigerator just to fit it in.”

The effort proved equal to the task. “After feeding 15 guildies, filling several take-home boxes and supplying the bar staff with their weekly sugar dose, we were barely able to consume half of the cake,” Kharti reports. “Needless to say, we also made very good friends with the bar staff and their families!”

Assembling the masterpiece

The cake was a three-layer white cake with orange flavor, with a butter cream topping featuring a vanilla-mint mix. The terrain and cave was entirely hand-carved. Rocks were created from rock sugar dyed greenish-blue. “This was created by taking sugar up to 298 degrees and then stirring royal icing into the sugar, returning it to heat to let it soufflé and then pouring it out in one piece for cooling,” Kharti explains. “Broken up — Aeon used a hammer when he thought I wasn’t looking! It was sanitized, though — and placed around the cake, it made a really nice visual texture to break up the smoothness of the rest of the cake.” Sprinkles of white and green sugar around the cave contributed to the icy effect.

Frostmourne and Icecrown Citadel itself are made from pastillage (like Necco wafers). “I made the dough and rolled it out so I could cut out the shapes for the Icecrown Citadel and Frostmourne that Aeon had drawn out for me earlier,” Kharti says. “They are very fragile, both drying and dried, so I made them a bit thicker than normal so that I wouldn’t chance breaking them and having to do it all over again (as it takes two days for it all to dry). Once they dried, we sanded them down. I had Aeon color the 15 pieces that made up the Citadel with a few colors of pixie dust. It was his first experience with the stuff, and there was a fair amount of griping and ranting going on as he discovered how big a pain it can be and how much of a mess it can make. The cake board was covered with royal icing, a little of which was used to add all the shape and highlights to Frostmourne, which I dusted with pixie dust after it dried. Making Frostmourne was my favorite part out of the entire project, kind of my pride and joy. Finally, the Citadel was glued together with royal icing, using little pieces of pastillage as support to give it the 3D look.”

The baking team finished the entire project with a fine dusting of powdered sugar. And voila! Icecrown lives (until <Utility> got hold of it, anyway).

WoW nerd cake

Kharti’s cake gallery also includes a few shots of a cake she created for a surprise nerd/WoW-theme birthday party for their guild’s healing officer. The chocolate fudge cake cake featured ganache icing with three different colors of modeling chocolate. “I decorated the cake to look like a nerd’s shirt and pants,” she explains, “then tied the Warcraft theme into the cake by putting small Horde logos on the suspenders and bow tie on the top.” We’d say she tied this project up to perfection!

Mulgore wedding cake

Next in the cake lineup: the wedding cake of Shootmeplz and Sari of US Hakkar-H. “Image taken in Mulgore, with the cake designed to sort of flow with the image semi-seamlessly,” notes Shootmeplz. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Snaxxramas

Some people don’t create mere gingerbread houses; they go straight for Snaxxramas. We’re betting creators Shevaun and Orvel of US Twisting Nether-H had a lot of fun putting this together. It looks like they’ve thrown out some sort of strange frosting snare to catch incoming Alliance players … We bet being ported directly to the summoning stone inside wouldn’t be such a bad deal in this instance!a
