Dye farming in Pre seared Ascalon

This is the only place to increase dye drops.

Note on the screen shot a Grawl drops black!

Yes Bandits are a favourite but you inherit a farming penalty by repeat farming the same area so

Rule No 2) extend your drop zone trying to keep an outside merchant in the area (for other income)

The more you kill the greater the drops, so keep out there!

Regents Valley - probably one of the most farmed due to dye / ale combination farming (legs and webs are worth stacking and - yes spiders drop dyes).

Catacombs - this area has no merchant but the gargoyle trail (turn sharp right behind the building and head n/w toward Barradins exit, foot armour upgrade collector) provides for me an average 2 drops.

The crypt spiders have the same drops as the spiders in Regent’s Valley (legs webs and dyes) and the Cadaver also drop dye.

Barradin Estate - yes outside merchant lots of grawl bandits and stackable drops good to farm which leads to

Rule 3) Do not repeat farm the same area switch your zone or server or character.

e,g(Europe/International/America)

Foibles Fair - Go east or west for a large circuit to the fishing village (nearest merchant) bears bandits wolves elemental’s but skale (drop silver more regular) at the fishing village and along the rivers (I’ve had black from them too) the bandit groups are the best source here.

Oh I forgot Rule 1)

Never tell them everything good luck (to be continued?)

Why I Like Necromancers

I first solo famed these areas over 3 years ago using a W/Mo but utilising similar methods.

I left my necro in pre for that section (he’s at the point of death level only experience) in pre searing but have builds Loose in Tyrea creating havoc too from Nightfall builds These are also Ploughing forest minotaurs (a nice third year mini if you have EoTN)

NEW FABLE TRAILER FROM E3

This is the trailer release (machinima) for the new release of Fable. If you played the previous and liked this goes even further into the game “concept”

Blue tooth Devices - Keyboard and mice

I have been using both microsoft and now a new Logitech set (I still have the older Logitech model).

Reliability of the first was compromised by a touch sensitive control panel on the left which has now been replaced on the model mx 5500.

The microsoft set (not sold separately as far as i can find ) had a mouse that gave up (2 sets) too quickly and this is far superior even if it is over engineered ergonomically.

The range of these devices is approximately 9 metres, enough to play from the settee and hook up to a flat panel on the other side of a large lounge, with surround sounds this is the right set-up for serious gamers who have the money to spend.

Gwens quest - Tapestry Shred Preseared Ascalon

This was my first Wiki edit where you were told that 4 red iris were needed, as you can see by this screen shot ONLY THREE red iris are needed.

*double click to zoom in on the text

*The screen shot shows exactly how this is done in 1 visit, you must do this quest solo (it is probably the quest most “spoiled” by getting it wrong)

gw025.jpg

The shred is used (you must carry one) in the Eye of the North.

This quest takes a mere few minutes if you leave with 3 red iris and a new flute YOU MUST DROP THE RED IRIS BEFORE TALKING TO GWEN.

If you are a permanent pre seared character take the cape(200g) and you only need 1 red iris for the shred, and when Gwen follows you her healing power is improved.

While playing the flute she heals your character.

Her healing power is increased by the “little Girl’s Cape”

N.B due to restrictions imposed on NEW ACCOUNT’S you have to wait 24 hour’s before you can drop the red Iris.The only way to do this during that time is by picking up red iris AFTER the flute ( and cape) have been given to Gwen!

Spore creation from the demo

sporecreaturecreator-2008-06-19-23-19-37-51.bmp

I have joined the programme and started a few creations these were not too serious but here is a shot of some of the creatures that have been submitted.

O.K so SUMMAT is a silly name but the creature had a massive attack strike lol.

This game is still in development stage and I have no “privileged knowledge of a release date

Kung Foo Panda - The game


KUNG FOO PANDA THE GAME

I have been leading up to this during development and now a demo has been released though I have not downloaded this yet

Missing Work - and any credit!

Not only has my site been hacked but the work I did about 2 years ago for wiki (by I.P) has been “lost”

I suspect this was edited and the credit stolen by some new whizz kid. (hacker?)

I have built p.c’s and servers since before diablo 2 was launched but have only had a site for about 2 years.

It would seem that things have become over complicated by people since 2 years ago.

I will continue my crusade as an honest player who would like to see the back of exploiting and hacking (that’s why I got a beta copy as I had followed “game development”)
LOOK HERE THEN
LOOK HERE

(Both victim and cukprit, don’t make me laugh!)

Even the guild page seems to have disappeared from Wiki, guess I have been playing and doing my own site work has left me behind on game development and administrative work in where I was 2 years ago!

Hunters Ale farming - Regents Valley

There are 6 bear locations to take “Another challenge” from this group of n.p.c’s.

Two are close to the east and another 4,(2 top track 2 bottom track at the pool) to the west (further) to kill on the timer and collect a hunters ale for each kill and “challenge”.

To the west has many Grawl which need clearing first before accepting a challenge. On the top path (west) they are close to the pool which is the furthest so you have to hope they do not go into their count blood sweat, tears routine on return.

Two people farming get 1 Ale each kill, so why not team up?

This quest was exploited by well known site people who had bears as pets to “sacrifice” to the Grawl (they must have run BOTS to supply thousands per week) this is why some players have long title roles despite being “New” players and should be banned. Here I am farming correctly so I know that their achievements were EXPLOITED
You will see these people openly displaying and bragging achievements on “official” sites (Presearing.com and Guildwiki)

One reason pre searing became so corrupted and spoiled for honest players (one even moderates for an official site!)

ale-farming.bmp

Organized “Official” crime pays What the….(now these stocks have been nerfed by Grog)

Glitches  N.P.C’s routine expires your timer, The kill does not register and sometimes you can take the challenge while the timer is still running

N.B the 7′th dye location as found on other guides is NOT possible I know where the bear is and there are no routes possible within the time!

Temporary bans on Diablo

My son manage to get my I.P banned in a dew minutes and when we searched for the problem it was noted that switching between 2 aura’s using the mouse wheel was the problem (something like spamming?)

These new restrictions apply to the game now and are supposed to target bots!

Your connection has been temporarily restricted

Guild Wars bringing this site into disrepute

After having an internet stalker abusing this game for 6 months and the guild wars team permitting this, the in game abuse (also reported) has become of “an obscene nature”

I can NOT continue this support due to this sites position regarding pornography.

Last night was totally atrocious here is an example of their abuse towards the guild wars team may be this will get their attention

gw047.jpg

Yes abuse of THE TEAM also find these at my last comment on pornography and guild wars

These internet punks insult EVERYONE as demonstrated by one of thousands of screenshots saved for evidence.

Verbal abuse and player harassment

The foul language and player/guild harassment continues and has become a deterrent for serious gamers once again (did it EVER stop?).

Content is now graded as pornographic by definition. example :-

gw046.jpg

Well this is an example too? PORN
