And it’s hitting everyone… look what I found in the guild bank for one of the guilds I am in.

But ya, the Seasonal Festivities are just around the corner and Wowhead has a great guide to help out. Love is in the Air runs from February 7 – February 20, so late tonight, be ready for some achievements! Since all 5 of my new twinks are just that, new… I think I’m gonna pass on the fun.

The WoW trading card game mount obtained from the card “Tiny” can be used at any level, unlike what they say over at http://wowtcgloot.com/tiny.htm. The mount is cheap, looks awesome, but sadly only comes with 50 charges. Horde get a small raptor while the alliance get a white stallion. This will definitely turn some heads in WSG!

EDIT: Since Duckhunt has brought this up, I will offer up 2 codes for random commenters on this post. Deadline is Feb 14th, 2010.

For all you pet collectors, the Sprite Darter Egg which previously was a quest reward that only level 42+ alliance could obtain, can now be obtained as low as level 1 for Horde members! Alliance twinks will have to faction change to get theirs. They changed the Sprite Darter mob to have, "around 1%" chance to drop the Egg, but only the Horde can attack the Darters. The egg is BOP and took me around three hours of farming to finally obtain. Love him to death, goes great with my druid. Well worth the effort to farm him.

They changed the pet drop around 3.1 so this isn’t exactly new news for everyone, but I get lots of whispers asking how I got mine so I figured I’d make a post about it.

Hey everyone,

Drayner has given me permission to blog here on TwinkInfo. Today my first blog entry to introduce myself to those who don’t know me yet.

My real-life name is Julian, I’m 17 and I’m in my last year before university. I’m Dutch and I started playing WoW February 2009. My twinking career started early March 2009, when I created Rayu, my first 19 rogue.

I had 2 real-life friends playing WoW back then who made twinks too (Xayu, priest and Dayu, warrior). We had some fun in WSG and even though he only played 2 months, Xayu was the best priest I’ve ever duelled.

Soon after Xayu quit twinking, Dayu did also. Nowadays, my 19 rogue is on Draenor EU and my 19 mage-in-the-making Khione is on alliance Bronzebeard EU. Soon to be transferred to the Blackout battlegroup!

I will be bringing you informative blogs with patch notes relevant to twinks, my opinion on things happening in the twinking community and I will see if I can make you happy with calculations on gear options and such.

My thanks go out to Drayner and you – Twink Info members – for this opportunity to share my opinions and visions with twinks around the globe!

Rayu

Patch 3.3.2 is coming today. I logged in this morning and was greeted to a patch download. What does 3.3.2 bring? Not much really, not that I can tell…

• Warlocks get a boost in a talent rarely use by twinks:
  Improved Shadow Bolt: Damage done by Shadow Bolt increased by 2/4/6/8/10%, up from 1/2/3/4/5%
• All healing abilities (including items such as potions) will be decreased in effectiveness by 10% when in Battlegrounds, Arenas, or Wintergrasp.
• Some fixes to high level dungeons. Hurray… They have made ridiculously easy 5 mans even easier.
• The new Giant in the Vault of Archavon is up too! I can’t wait to see what fail group I get tonight.
• And most importantly… a handful of twinks will be playing their twinks less now. Arena Season 8 starts today.

READ ON FOR THE PATCH NOTES:

Since I got a report this weekend that some ad on the site might have caused some sort of virus, I have removed all ads. I will most likely leave them off the site for good.

I have been toying with the the idea of adding a value added private subforum for donators, so this is something I might do moving forward. The site costs ~$100/mo to operate, so I might add a donation bar to show this monthly goal. While $100/mo is nothing to me and I don’t run this site to generate income at all, it would be nice. We’ll see how it goes.

If you have any virus/trojan info that you suspect this site of causing, please let me know. This is a serious matter and I want to get to the root of the problem if it is happening here. I will say that I have scanned files and checked my database and don’t see anything on this end. It’s possible that I have missed something though. If the ads were causing it, it won’t happen again since they are gone now.

Reposting this for those that are unaware of this feature.

You can create a social group in our forums and set it private and you will have a private area for your guild to discuss things. The message board within the social groups isn’t as robust as the "regular" forums but it’s not lacking much. You can check out the test group I made to see what I mean. This group I created is "PUBLIC" and anyone can see it and join it. The social group you can create for your guild should be private to keep others from being able to view it. You will need to invite your guildies in order for them to be able to participate.

I created a video to show how to set this up. Click the screenie to the right or here to view this video.

On the subject of tests, I decided not to move forward with the hosted "Guild Blogs" as well. The time in setting this up for each guild was more than I can handle at this time. Thanks to those that showed interest in this. You can set up a user blog if you want.

We did this last year and hunter got the nod by a landslide. Nothing has changed, hunters are still ridiculous, but some other classes might have closed the gap some. What do you think?

 
Taken just a few moments ago by myself on the Medivh server. The good news is, she isn’t getting any stats from her hacked helm. What I find interesting is that the helm is leather and caster gnomes can only use cloth. There is obviously something very fishy going on here…
