Warhammer Online - Destruction Guide to the Hunter Master's Pelt


Hunter Master's Pelt
So you want a cool looking cape like above?  Well your in the right place, follow the guide below to unlock your very own 'Hunter Master's Pelt'

Step 1:
To get the cape you need to unlock it by doing the kill collector's quest, which is killing 65 'Bloodfog Wolf', they are level 15 and can be found near to the camp with the kill collector, although there is a larger spawn of of wolves that you should kill at shown on map to the right, take note this is in Troll Country.

I managed to do this as a level 12 Choppa, I did die a bunch mostly my own fault for pulling them before my health has recovered.  Be careful of other creatures such as Plaguewood Wolves and Trolls as they are higher level and hit harder.

(Tip: The best way to track kills, open up your tome of knowledge and go to the bestiary page and find wolves, take note of how many have already been killed, once you know you can just keep checking back.)

Step 2:
Once you have all 65 wolf kills, head back to the kill collector, she is located on the map (shown below)
 
(Left is camp location, right is the kill collector)








Step 3:
Hand in the quest to the kill collector and you will get a tome unlock called 'Picking Up The Pieces', if you check your ToK it will appear under the wolf page, as shown below.

Step 4:
All you need to do now is head to the library in the Inevitable City and speak to the 'Tome Accessory Librarian' as shown below.

(If you have any questions, just leave a comment and I'll be happy to answer)

Scarbridge at Rank 40

Well I finally made it to level 40 on my Witch Hunter who's called Scarbridge, not sure how long he was shelved while my sub was out but after resubbing earlier in the week I was able to grind from 34 to 39 then using a scroll that grants you one level, I hit 40.  I figure I'll add a guide some point over the weekend or during next week on how to obtain the level up scroll, so keep your eyes peeled.

WARGHHH what is it good for

Regnum emerging from the chaos portal
Well after a few nights of wondering what to play, me and my beloved have returned to Warhammer Online, so far we are loving it.  We decided to make a new characters on the US server Badlands, since Mythic now allow Euro players on the US servers may as well make use of it especially since I'm in the US allot.  I rolled a Chosen while she made a Zealot, so far this duo has been allot of fun especially in scenarios, its rare I ever die and in the T1 fights I can easily put out lots of damage.

Along with the new characters we made on the Badlands server, I was able to get on my old Witch Hunter on Karak-Norn, the look of this character alone is enough to keep me interested in the game, Witch Hunters always seem rather unique, not many games where you dual wield a sword and pistol destroying evil while shouting burn heretic burn.  First day back on my WH I was able to get him a couple of levels thanks to the rested xp and the mobs in the Land of the Dead, hopefully by the end of next week I plan to have him level 40, in reality it will only be a few hours work to grind the next 4 levels but it depends if I can force myself to sit there and grind out that xp, normally I get distracted with the siege fights.

I like the new city siege system Mythic added to the game, it replaces the old way which was rather boring with a new stage system.  I was rather impressed when I first entered a siege under the new system, giant creatures of the chaos, fighting along side the heroes of Order and killing the biggest guys Destruction could throw at us.
I'm still trying to work out how it all works, I'll be getting plenty of practice though as it seems my level 40 characters are on the underdog sides on their servers.

In all if your thinking of giving Warhammer Online a look or tempted to resubscribe to an existing account its well worth it.  If your still not convinced give the endless free trial a look you can pvp to your hearts content up to level 11.

Warhammer Online: New European account name

If you are like me and were away when GOA stopped running the European side of things for Warhammer Online you will of noticed that everything is now hosted on US WAR website.
Now I'm not sure if I missed a email or just didn't get the memo but if you played Warhammer on the Euro servers, you account name has been changed, I had to find a old subscription email which finished after this change had happened.

Really all they have done is added _EUR to the end of your account name if your from Europe, so when logging in you would now be typing accountname_eur rather than just accountname.

Hopefully this makes sense to anyone returning to WAR and wondering what happened like I did.

Naruto Review

I've really enjoyed the Naruto series, and I'm eagerly working my way through the Shippuden series (Naruto series 2 for those that don't know).

The Good
Naruto is a wonderful anime series with plenty of enjoyable action, a wide variation of characters and some crazy plot twists.
It has the typical anime humour which is always enjoyable with the main character of the series getting beaten on by his squad mates is always fun to watch, including a few moments which will make you burst out laughing mostly because you weren't expecting it, such as the '1000 years of death' attack.
The series has a full history, plenty of world politics, lands, locations which flesh out this series, everything is explained in one way or another.
Another great aspect of the series is that there is no problem in killing off main characters, allot of the time you will be in shock seeing who kicks the bucket.

The Bad
Nearly every fight in Naruto is broken up over several episodes mostly due to the sheer amount of talking which  takes place before, during and after a battle, if it isn't some angry shouting its a flash back to a episode you would of recently seen, since this happens every fight you almost dread fights because you know it will be five or six episodes before its resolved.
While I understand this is an old anime, the main character is self righteous, making big deals out of every little thing the evil characters do followed by a spot of shaking, grinding teeth, growling and clenching the fist which gets real old real fast.

The Ugly
One of the most annoying aspects to many anime series is where mid battle the characters feel the need to explain their plans or their last special attack in great deal for the enemy and visa versa, Naruto is no exception to this.

That's gonna hurt

It doesn't matter what fairy tree hugging fantasy land your from, that's gonna hurt.


How to change your apperance/race in Oblivion mid game

Alright this is a quick guide on how to change your character's race/sex/appearance mid game without starting over/losing your stats/downloading third party program.

All you have to do is activate your console button which is normally ` (left of 1 on your keyboard), then type in the command showracemenu - this will pop up the race menu.  Note you must keep the console open, do not close it down otherwise this will not work.

Do the changes to your character just DO NOT accept the changes, while the console is open you can hit esc and open up your game menu, make a save then simply load the save and your changes will be there.

Charge the courtyard! Leave none of them standing!

Its bound to happen, when using mods you expect to run across bugs and incompatibilities which can break the game or get you stuck.
I've ran into this bug before although I believe I fixed it by disabling a mod, anyway the bug I refer to is during the quest 'Siege of Kavatch' where you have to open the gate and then take the castle.
Well during this quest if you talk to the main npc all he will say is 'Charge the courtyard, leave none of them standing!' this can be caused by a number of mods but the biggest culprit would be 'Mart's Monster Mod', considering its one of the most popular mods its a good chance your using it like I am.

The way to bypass this issue is to carry on with the quest, go into the count's castle leaving the npc behind in the courtyard, make your way through till you get to the count.  Take his ring and just head back to the courtyard where the npc will be waiting for you, if you talk to him now you should get a new chat options and can hand over the ring to finish the quest, doing it this way saves you from disabling the mod.

Oblivion Mod: Masks & Masks Revised

I ran across a problem which many others have had with a certain mod, the mods 'Masks' and 'Masks Revised' is supposed to add masks to containers and vendors, although myself and others could not get this to work.

While I don't know the specifics myself, the error is due to 'Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul' mod.

The work around, disable OOO, reload the Masks.esp, check the vendor and the masks should be there (note: I have only done this with Masks Revised, I'm purely guessing that this will fix the error with the original mod).
