Marriage & WoW

I never imagined WoW could change the course of my life forever.
About 3 years ago my life was so sad, so alone, couldn't find the meaning of my life. So many frustrations in my past relationships and this was one of reason I started to play World of Warcraft.... trying to forget about my life. WoW was kind of a escape for me.
But I never thought my life was about to change...

Level 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and finally 60 and I say "I am not noob anymore I can go to Tarren Mill to farm honor points". let me explain this; in my old server before the battlegrounds came up, we had like a Tarren Mill versus Southshore War. It was totaly World PvP (so much fun).
So, I get there in Tarren Mill... wow, so many people... scary.

Day after day I was there. We had 3 diferents groups there, the good players with good gear, the good players with no gear at all and bad players with bad gear lol. I think I was in the second group hehe. And I always thought "One day I will be in a group 1 and going to be friends of them!!"

One day the best enchacement shaman in my server, a Orc Female called Anedaclam, msg me asking for water and I made a joke saying that 1 stack = 10 golds and for my surprise he paid 30g for 3 stacks hehe and I was happy "gold for my epic mount!! weee"

Anedaclam:

After this day, Anedaclam and I started to talk every day. We started to play together, so many silly things we did, like fishing naked in Stormwind!! hehe

Anyway, the "ingame friendship" became a "RL friendship", we started to talk on MsN, skype and one day the friendship became a relationship. In October 2005 he came to Brazil to meet me and after 3 days he asked me to marry him... and my answer was YES!!!

In December First (1) 2006, we got married in Eustis-FL.

I never thought a game could change my life, never, ever. So I really need to thanks World of Warcraft or Blizzard hehe. They helped me to find the meaning of my life, my soul mate and the true love.

"TL, you are everything to me. As time goes on I love you more.
Happy Anniversary for us, meu amor!! I love you."

our song :)

Finally I got the Vashj's Vial!!

After a dark moments in my old server, my new guild (they are veeery good, really I am scared!) is going to attun. me and my friends :) Last night, my first raid with them, we killed Vashj and FINALLY I got the Vial and I also got the helm tier 5 :) Now, heading to Kael!! :P Thanks Akirra & Retrospect!! :)

PS: I was so excited that I forgot to take a screen shot :((((( /cry

Ira forever but... now its Iva

My new char name is Iva.
I didn't pay for change my name but I had to transfer to another server this week and unfortunately the name Ira was unavailable. So I got Iva because reminds Ira :P
After 3 years being Ira will be hard to get used with Iva :(

Mage Basic addons

I have tons of addons, but these 4 I cant live without. I think every mage should have it

- Cryolysis:
You can save a lot of spots in your bar. Example; in just 1 button you can teleport and open portal to everywhere. Cryolysis has a Buff button, a conjure water/food button, mount, evocation, mana gems, 3 free buttons that you can personalize. Its pretty cool.

- Spellcraft:
This addon is similar to Cryolysis, but the cool thing it show who break your polymorphy!! This is the best, specially in PvE, you can see who broke your sheep!!

- SmartDebuff
I used to use Decurse but I like SmartDebuff more, its very clean you can configure a lot of stuff and excelent to PvE and PvP of course. You also can use it for another class.

- X-Perl UnitFrames
Actually this is not a addon mage, is a Unit Frames but is the best addon in my opinion. Raid frame, pets, you can see your party target, you can see your target's target, you can see your focus' target's target hehehehe Well there are so many things but Its very nice, specially in arena games. You have the option to see the target in 3D. Muito legal :)

Video WoW - Amaranth

How people can make something like that, so perfect!! :)

Ghost Wolf: The newest, rarest pet

Very good news for mage! Blizzard post

There are a few nice improvements we're making to the mage class in patch 2.3.2 (a small patch that will be on the public test realms soon) and we wanted to share them with you. First, we'll start out with two changes affecting all mages. Ice block will become a core ability, trainable by all mages at level 30. Additionally, conjure mana (rank 6) will restore 1800-3000 mana and will now have three charges, meaning you can use it three times before having to create a new one.

To be sure we're clear here, yes, the same cooldown will still apply between usages. :P

Cold snap will be moved to Ice block's position in the talent tree and its cooldown will be reduced. As a side note, it will no longer reset the cooldown on fire ward. Moving in to Cold snap's spot will be a brand new ability called Icy Veins. This new ability will decrease casting time for all spells by 20% and increases the chance that chilling effects freeze the target by 25%. It's an active ability, lasting 20 seconds and has a 3 minute cooldown.


- Ice block will become a core ability, trainable by all mages at level 30.
OMFG!! PoM + trinket + Pyroblast + Ice Block = OWNED!!! or Blazing speed + Ice Block!! nice...

- conjure mana (rank 6) will restore 1800-3000 mana and will now have three charges
This is Fantastic!! :P

- Icy Veins. This new ability will decrease casting time for all spells by 20% and increases the chance that chilling effects freeze the target by 25%. It's an active ability, lasting 20 seconds and has a 3 minute cooldown.
I wonder if this new ability stacks with Berseking troll racial. Hmmmmm if does, this will be great!!! I cant wait for the new changes!!

Thats a good new, I am happy (just a little bit)hehe :P

Holy Cow!!

I am sorry but when I saw this screen shot on "Screenshots of The Day" I had to making fun of a lost poor orc in the middle of a Cow Plantation lol /moooooo I love taurens hehhe

EXTRA!! NEW MAGE TIER 7!!

Finally Blizzard listened mages pray!! We were so tired of die for melee dps... they can barely touch us and there we go again to say hello to spirit rezzer. Mages were very disappointed because they reduce 50% armor of our Merciless Arena 2 Set-Paper.
But now, this is about to change.... they didn't give us wings (like warlock tier 6......... no comments) and people will not call "mages are papers" anymore, because the new tier 7 is...


PLASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Creepy kids...

A long time ago, my friend told me that he found an interesting house near Goldshire, the human newbie area. A Haunted House... Did u guys watch that movie The Blair Witch Project with some kids crying, whispers and with their back to the wall. So my friend told me that he found something like that.... and I said "NO WAY!!! You are kidding me!!" he said "Go check... but remember, there is a certain time of the night, after midnight in random days."
Alright, so I logged my night elf that I have in another server... took me about 1 hour to find the house because my friend didn't know the house's coord. (he is the type who still play with wow default interface, no addons o.O). So, When I get inside the house I didn't find anything, no kids, no whispers, nothing, only a normal woody house, and it was midnight.
Past 3 days logging in the same time I finally found the kids... and it was kind of creepy... I swear... First at first, Human's Kids freak me out, I don't know... they have evil face with a sarcastic smile hehe Anyway, the kids didn't move and they were organized in the shape of a pentagram AND with a redhead kiddo in the middle.............. man, this is creepy.
I couldn't listen any whisper just the fireplace's sound but my friend guarantee there are whispers. I took some screen shots when I get there on the first time. I went back the other day and they were in another position , same pentagram shape but with their back to the door....
I went back the other day and they were in another position, same pentagram shape but with their back to the door.... I dont know if the kids are still there, because this happened in 2005. I am going to check tonight again... the creepy kids....



OMG I just found a youtube video about these kids!!! And pay attention on their position, is different of my screen shots and the WoW sound music.

New flying mounts (patch 2.3)

Cenarion War Hippogryph (I need !!!! :P)
This epic flying mount costs 2000g (1600g with the exalted Cenarion Expedition discount OUCH) and requires you to have trained the ability to fly at an epic pace. You can buy in Cenarion Refuge of Fedryen Swiftspear in Zangamarsh.
I want this mount but I dont have gold :(((( Anyone wants to buy one for me? Only 1600g! cheap! :P



Turbo-Charged Flying Machine (I want to be an engineer!!!)
This one is pretty cool. They have the blue and epic version. The epic one is so cool. If you look the details there is a hula girl on the dash of the gyrocopter.

FINALLY!! No more conjure water-food!

This is the best ever patch!! I am so happy with the new mage spell "Ritual of Refreshment". This costs 80% of base mana and 2 Arcane Powder, but who cares!?!!? I will not waist my time doing 300-500 waters for a whole raid in a night anymore!!! Viva Lo Biscuit!! And I feel like I am a warlock because its a summon ritual, its pretty cool, you know mages always complain about them, locks are overpower or something like that"hey I think the Blizzard's President has a Warlock", they have the coolest gears, dots are insane and they never get nerf hehehe. ANYWAY, back to the subject lol Ritual of Refreshment" has 50 charges of 20 [Conjured Manna Biscuit].
Thanks Blizzard!! I love you!!

Here we go!

Alright, my first post I am so happy :) I hope I can keep it up because you know I am the type of people who never finish anything, college, piano class, etc,.
Anyway, back to my blog, before I post some old old screenshots I found in my computer I want to introduce myself: My name is Cyntia, I am from Sao Paulo-Brazil but I live in US about a year. I've been playing WoW since november/2004 (yes I think it is), totally old school. Ira (I called her "The Fire Princess" lol) is my main char I also have a hunter and a warrior lvl 70, but mage is my favorite, Ira is like a precious item legendary with 10 meta gems for me lol.
Alright but this blog is not just about Ira, I will try to talk about WoW in general, gonna link some videos, pics, etc... we will have a lot of fun!
But this is my first post and I deserve to talk about my main char.
I found some interesting old screen shots:

This is me starting Desolace's quests zone. Isnt it cute? look at my head rofl I hate almost all kind of heads on troll female. But I love trolls.


Ahhh epic mount... this is the day I bought my epic mount, lvl 60.


That one is sooooo "80's" lol, my first MC's raid with dark praetors. I was so nervous that day! But nothing compare the day I did Scarlet Monestary, OMG I almost die of nervous hehehe.


Good times :)
