Ulduar Progression
Hey guys! Hope all are well and still rocking the new content!
Rage’s progression is as always slow and steady compared to some of you guys out there, but we’re doing our best in the face of adversity.
Last night we cleared Auriaya and had a few good tries on Hodir in 25-man.
Auriaya is a bit of a nightmare and its all about the raid being able to keep mobile if the void zones spawn in rubbish places. This fight reminds me a bit of Prince in Karazhan with the infernals spawning all over the place.
Hodir on the other hand is best described in 1 word: Chaos.
Everyone has to keep moving all the time or they take frost damage, added to the fact you have to keep out of the runes on the floor in case you get knocked back by cave-ins. Its a real intensive fight and people have to be on the ball or its FAIL time. Also he’s got 32 million Hit Points…..that’s just unreasonable!! Damn you Blizzard!
So that’s all the news from a raiding point of view. I’ve slowly been continuing my rep grind for the Insane title, but nothing massive to report there, other than hitting honored with Darkmoon Faire. I’ve started the Argent Tournament on my Druid – which is fun, and adds a nice source of income as well.
I’m planning on leveling another toon to 80 just so I can do these quests again maybe – it depends on what happens when 3.2 comes out.
I also managed to get my 75th non-combat pet in game and got my Fawn pet in the post, which was cool! Also last night in VoA Emalon was kind enough to drop the Grand Black War Mammoth!! Somehow I managed to win the roll as well!! /grin
That’s my 85th mount in game – 15 to go for the Dragonhawk mount you get at 100.
Good Times!
Have any of you guys completed any WoW milestones with regards to content or achievements?

I’m still amazed at some of your “frill”:
85 mounts? I’m at 71.
27 titles? I’m at 19.
75 pets? I’m at 65.
My current goal is about 4 days away (getting the 5th Champion and earning the Crusader title). After that I’m going to get me an Argent Hippogryph and then get the 5 500g / 5 Seal mounts. The thought of farming 500 Seals for the other mounts is too much.
Outside of my main, my Druid hit 77 this week. I’m going to burn him to 80 so I can either start healing or start tanking… doesn’t matter which one.

Its all about what drives you in this game – the acheivement system for some people is pointless, where I love it to bits!! Its given me something to do, things to aim for in the game other than the constant raiding, but on the other hand it has also been a distraction from leveling my alts.
I’ve got 3 toons languishing at 70-72 that I just cant be bothered to level!
I’m sitting at 6500 acheivement points or there abouts at the moment.

I just recently got 4/4 Watchers in 25 man. Mimiron is crazy.
As for Hodir – I’ll just recommend that your casters aim for Toasty Fires, which not only removes the need to move to ditch the biting cold, but adds a crazy DPS hot. The tank needs to make sure Hodirs back is always to a sunbeam that Melee can stand in, and get himself in one if possible too.

14/25 Mounts
21/25 Exalted Rep
51/75 Pets
16/25 Tabards
My favorite achievement is I got the Swift Zulian Tiger from Zul’gurub.
I’ve recently took up working on my cooking and fishing skills, which have sat at zero since I created my character. Cooking is now at 405 and fishing at 175.
I’ve also been working on getting some of the old world achievements, such as the raids.
