How To: Attain Jubjub



Today I'm going to explain how to obtain this little beer loving frog, since Darkmoon Faire is in town I figured I'd explain it while you can get him.

Jubjub is only attainable during Darkmoon Faire.

First you're gonna wanna take a trip to Black Rock Depths and head to the Grim Guzzler portion of the instance. Look for these mugs on the second floor of the pub area.

Grab about 3-4 Dark Iron Ale.

Now head to the Darkmoon Faire (currently located right outside of Thunder Bluff). Find the female orc named Morja.

Place one of the mugs at her feet and wait for a cute little frog to hop over. When the frog is near Morja she'll get a blue question mark over her head. Talk to her and give her a mug of the Ale. In return she will give you an egg which will hatch in a week. This will hatch [A Jubling's Tiny Home] Which is your new frog pet.

Congratulations! Feel free to e-mail me pictures of you and your frog to wrathofduck13@yahoo.com! I will post if you do!

Do You Care?


It's maintenance Tuesday so it's time to fill your head with useless trivia.

Time for a little Do You Care? (This is taken from one of my old favourite shows, Cheap Seats.)

Do you Care...

  • That Loatheb is an anagram for Healbot, which is funny given Loatheb's abilities.
  • That Female gnomes shout "Sega!" when they die, a reference to Sega's television ads.
  • That when you kill Mr. Bigglesworth in Naxxramas, it hurts Kel'Thuzad's feelings.
  • That you can get Swine Flu from the pigs in Borean Tundra.
  • That supposedly there was a legendary neckpiece that dropped from Molten Core, but was quickly removed.
Now maintenance should be done now so off to play some WoW!!

Walker, Wintergrasp Ranger


The picture above depicts the last achievement I need to get the Wintergrasp Meta-Achievement. And this achievement is mildly stupid in my opinion. It asks for me to kill 10 people in various regions of Wintergrasp, some of which are just areas. Non-traffic areas. In a perfect world where world PvP exists, this achievement makes sense. Think of epic battles in various locales with beautiful backgrounds. That would be extraordinary. But realistically, no one hangs out in The Chilled Quagmire, and other places like this. So that is why this achievement is ridiculous.

That's me in action. And by "in action" I mean... sitting on my mount looking for Alliance gatherers/fishermen. How exciting!

That was not the only thing I accomplished today. I did knock out the heroic daily (Culling of Stratholme) with a terrible group. By terrible I mean if I wasn't healing I could have outdpsed everyone there. In fact, one pull I holy nova spammed and managed to outdps everyone, this is how I know I would've. *sigh* It's bad when a group can't even beat the 25 minute timer without anyone dying. Alas, the joys of pugging.

Until tomorrow...

Motorcycle of Illogicality


That's right. Today I have defeated the Celestial Being. I leave the moon hanging, because I am a Starcaller. I have now officially killed Algalon before Yogg-Saron. Weird huh. I feel terrible about it because we would've gotten "He feeds on your tears" achievement (Killing Algalon without dying) if I hadn't Disconnected right as we pulled the first time. We downed it the next try. This made me feel terrible, but what could I have done? Nothing. The fight was a blast and I hope I get to kill him again!


Please note, that picture isn't too great. But after we downed him I disconnected for a long time and couldn't do a better picture! I will get better screenshots next time!

Yesterday I was very busy doing a lot of the weekend holiday Battleground of Eye of the Storm. That was very fun and I was joined by my friend Lazarin (Please note: I had absolutely nothing to do with his guild name)

It was a very fun night of battlegrounds as we continued to try to get the Eye of the Storm Assassin achievement. That took a while (We kept getting stuck with no Blood Elf Tower kills). The best part however was the amount of wins we got. Usually I expect to lose in Battlegrounds, and was very happy to see we dominated.

It was while we were fighting that I learned I can kick people out of my sidecar in my motorcycle whenever I want. So then it became a game for me to get random people to hop in the side car, and I found a certain gap in the map that I could jump over without killing myself. Then right over the gap I would kick them out of the sidecar. Evil? Hilarious? Absolutely. It was a blast.


The picture above demonstrates why the world of Azeroth is a great one. A world where this picture makes sense.

That's all for today... now go out and enjoy the Darkmoon Faire!

My apologies, Warug


This entry is dedicated to the hundreds of the Magram clan that have been slaughtered today. I'm sorry, Warug, but you just ran out of quests to give me. It was nothing personal.

Grinding rep is boring. Grinding old world rep that has noooo importance anymore, is even worse. This is just a taste of what my chat log looked like for an hour and a half straight!



If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I guess you've never quested in Desolace. This barren wasteland of gray sucks any fun out of your mood. As mentioned above I had to finish a quest chain with one of the warring factions, then regain rep with the faction that already hates me just to get FIVE more quests. One day Warug, I shall make my peace and become exalted with your people. Until that day... stay clear sir.

I didn't just grind away quests and reputation, as I took a moment to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

An obvious Kodak moment.
Moving on!

Through all this time of sitting around doing old world quests it leaves a lot of time to think. And my brain (once it gets past the obvious thought of "why the hell are you doing Loremaster") soon went to thoughts of WoW themed jokes I've heard from GM's and just various locations. Some of my favourites are...

~What do you call 40 paladins in a lake?
A bubble bath

~What do Noobs and Rogues have in common?
They both pick Locks.

~An orc with a parrot on his shoulder walks into a bar. The barkeeper is impressed and says "Wow that thing is great! Where did you find him?"
The parrot replies "Durotar, they're ALL over the place."

Those are three of my favourite jokes. I now am asking you all reading to send me your favourite WoW jokes, either through replying with a comment with your joke in it, or just e-mailing me your jokes at wrathofduck13@yahoo.com

Thanks for reading! If you like what you've read please follow me or leave feedback. If you have any questions about the game or about me please e-mail me at the address above.
