Wrath of the Lich King

Ever since I was a young Mage, advancing in my early levels in Stormwind, I was taught the value of crafting. To this day my professions have been an integral way of life in Azeroth and have helped me greatly advance my levels and made me a ton of gold to boot.

With the coming expansion of Wrath of the Lich King, this hasn’t changed, except there are now hundreds of new recipes and even new perks and special abilities now associated with the professions. Just to recap, the number of professions that you can learn hasn’t changed: you can only learn two Primary professions (Herbalism, Inscription, Mining, Blacksmithing, Alchemy, Enchanting, Engineering, Jewelcrafting, Leatherworking, Skinning and Tailoring) at any one time and any or all of the Secondary professions (Fishing, Cooking and First Aid).

The big new profession that everyone is trying out is Inscription. I’ve written at length on Inscription in my Journal, so I will only say that it’s a great money earner - if you know how to use it. The Glyphs, Scrolls, Vellums, Cards and Tomes made from Inscription are in great demand in the Auction House, although I dare say things will settle down once the market stabilizes.

Alchemy has always been favored by the Mage class and is invaluable for crafting potions and elixirs. Northrend’s new, high-end herbs and recipes making Alchemists popular fellows to have in your Guide of Raid group. Alchemy has now been tweaked with the addition of the passive skill of ‘Mixology’. This makes any potion made by the Alchemist more effective and longer lasting - at least to the Alchemist. A great way to boost your stats.

Blacksmiths have always been able to craft spectacular gear, but now they can create extra gem sockets. New recipes and metals found in Northrend allows the Blacksmith to reach the level of a Grandmaster and to create truly epic gear.

Enchanters have been given a great boost with the addition of Vellums crafted by Scribes with Inscription. Vellums can be freely sold and traded allowing Enchanters to transfer their Enchants, giving them the freedom to fully ply their trade.

Engineering has always been a creative, if not expensive profession. With the expansion, Engineers now have the ability to ‘Tinker’. Tinkering works in much the same way as enchants, but only works on the Engineers own gear. Any piece of gear can hold either an Enchant or a Tinker, but not both.

With Herbalism comes the new ability of ‘Lifeblood’. This is a healing ability, absorbed from the ground and can be used every few minutes. This makes herbalism great for the magical classes that have a relatively low armor value and need to heal quickly.

Jewelcrafters gain the ability of ‘Gem Perfection’ which allows them the chance to cut Northrend gems into perfect gems, giving them additional stats to whatever effect the gems might have.

The cold air of Northrend has also placed Leatherworkers in great demand, especially those who have learnt to craft ‘Fur Linings’. These only work on the bracers of the leather working in much the same way as enchants, but only one effect can be present at a time.

Miners have always been a hardy bunch, and all that pick wielding has earned them the ability of ‘Toughness’ which increases their maximum health. The higher their skill level the greater their toughness.

Skinning has never been for the squeamish, but the great anatomical knowledge that this profession affords adds to the critical strike rating. This can be a great boost to your stats

Finally, Tailors have gained the ability of cloth scavenging, increasing their ability to loot cloth from humanoids.

The Progression of Quake III Arena
Quake III became the pinnacle of multi-player online action and was released back in late December 1999 and is still going well nearly 10 years on. It was developed by the American computer game developer giants ID Software and became the game to have across the world.

The idea of Quake III is a first person shooter game that plays host too many different modifications and game types. The main game types for Quake III are Frag For All, Duels, Team Death Match, Clan Arena, Rocket Arena and Capture The Flag.

Upon its release Frag For All was the main game type played which was where people on a server would battle against each other to get the highest score, by collecting weapons and fragging any other player. This soon started to fade and as more and more people became interested in the game they found the potential in team play aspects such as Team Death Match, which started to collect a lot of interest in 2000.

TDM has always been a popular game type and during Quake III’s peak in 2001-2002 a variety of different leagues were being run from Jolt, Clanbase, Savage and Barrysworld to name but a few. Clans were soon formed and practice sessions were held to improve each clans team work and communication over such pieces of software as roger wilco and teamspeak, and with broadband technology increasing its power throughout the UK the playing field became a lot more level as every players pings equalled out.

The Quake III population has slowly decreased through other games being released but the hardcore players are still devoted to it. However as interest started to fade from the game leagues such as Barrysworld started to fold and modifications such as Rocket Arena soon became a thing of the past.

Today the main game type played is Capture The Flag, where team work and communication need to be on the ball.
