Azeroth’s Farmer’s Almanac: October 2010
Welcome to October, one of the more popular months of WoW. First up is the completion of the Brewfest event on October 6th. Yes, it is a sad day indeed when all the drinking ends, Hopefully, if you read this in time, you will have completed nearly all your achievements for this event. Most of which takes time, showing up every day, doing the three dailies, and biding your time. If you are fortunate to be level 78 or higher, then queue up the DF for Direbrewfest and queue often. Two marks of Frost a day for a event that takes two minutes to complete is nothing to scoff at.
Our local retailers are suggesting that Cataclysm’s release date is in November. That means this is the last full month of seeing Azeroth as we remember it. Save up those vendor run purchases, unload your core item list (and start saving again), and do as many troll/gnome quests as you can. With the new expansion the trolls and the gnomes will have a new starting point with new quests. Even the Orcs and Night Elves are finding a new place (level 10+). If your goal is to try to get exalted with either faction, find all the old noob quests and then do all the new ones. Because once they are gone….
Speaking of which, keep an eye out on Phase 2 of the Pre-Release Events. Smart money is on the empty week between world holiday events, but you never really know with Blizzard.
Then we have Hallow’s End. Mages get ready to port, or if you have a two man mount, you can charge a “Candy Tour” of Azeroth, Outland, and Northrend by visiting each candy bucket in the inns for the Trick and Treats achievement. For those of you attempting to complete the Masquerade and Check Your Head achievements, queue into a Battleground and nail everyone in your party (don’t worry, you’ll get nailed, too!). Make a marco with the jack-o-lantern and hit every enemy you see to complete your list (or just linger around Dal long enough….).
Make no doubt that Hallow’s End is the next to top event of the year. Expect everyday to be packed. If you have some dungeons that need to be completed or some raids to take care of, these days are your best chances. Also look for new pre-release events. Keep crafting weapon and armor enchantment scrolls and high mana and health potions. A lot of level 80’s are going to creep into the scene, so that’s your target customer.
*(Game Nights include American Baseball Playoffs and American Football Sundays)

First of all I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was insetetred to know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing. I have had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Many thanks!
You pay for add-ons?!?!
Hey i have 1 question man what is going to happen now………We got this new patch 4.0.1. on blizzard few days ago…………before cataclysm comes out……..and all of our addons are no good anymore. I sure hope I didn’t pay all that money for something that was supposed to be for a whole yr and it has only been 7months………..I paid good money for addons and all of that………….Now I don’t have nothing…………………..So now what? Am i screwed or what is going on? Are there going to be any more put on the site or am i going to be just ripped off point blank???? If so that is really messed up because I really liked this site and things. …. Well let me know what is going on thanks……….

December 7 is the official release date. Like … official. Just hit up the WoW website.
They now say that its Dec. 7
Is that correct?
You can bet that Blizzard will have the expansion out before the holidays. It is good business and all the people will be shopping for christmas
Nice to hear a November/December release anyway.
My Amazon pre-order stated a date had been set for January 5th… ACK!
Moon
me too… 🙁
What do eman exactly by this statement….Save up those vendor run purchases, unload your core item list (and start saving again)?
This is in reference to two previous posts.
The Core Item List can be found here:
https://www.ultimatewowguide.com/blog/gold-guides/azeroths-farmers-almanac-daknits-gold-guide/#Core
And the Vendor Run can be found here:
https://www.ultimatewowguide.com/blog/gold-guides/vendor-farming-tips/
The basics are this: the core item list are used as a reference to sell to those that are looking to level up quickly in any profession. You save items when population is low and unload when the population is high.
Vendor runs are good to stock up on now and when the “World changes,” unload your stock pile for a higher profit due to a lack of supply.
They have also stated that they will announce the real release @ Blizzcon
They just made another statement on the forums, that release date is pused to december 2-14. A small mistake from your side. 🙂
It figures, too. As soon as I put up a post…….
