Customize your guild bank icons with this handy script

Filed under: Add-Ons

picking icons
Have you ever wanted to customize your guild bank icons but been daunted by the sheer number of icons to choose from? The default interface for picking icons isn"t very easy to navigate. There are hundreds of icons, and they"re not searchable or sortable. Trying to find the icon you"re looking for is like finding a needle in a haystack. In fact, not every icon in the game is even listed in the default interface!

There"s a better way to assign icons to your guild bank tabs. With a simple script command, you can assign any icon that"s in the game to any one of your tabs. The first step is to identify the icon you want to use. Wowhead is your best bet here, as it"s got the icon files for every spell, item, and achievement in the game. Find the ability that shares the icon you want to use, and then click on the icon image to grab the specific icon identification string, like "spell_nature_bloodlust" for Bloodlust.

Mists of Pandaria: Learn new lore from in-game book Legacy of the Masters

Filed under: Warlock, Lore, Mists of Pandaria

Image
If you"re on the Mists of Pandaria beta, you might have heard about one of the cooler new bits of lore, the in-game text Legacy of the Masters. This book contains lore about new warlock abilities, where they came from, and who developed them and how they did it.

There are all sorts of neat implications in the text. For one thing, the mortal races of Azeroth seem to be meddling with great powers more than ever before after the fall of Deathwing, and the warlocks of Azeroth are afraid of being eclipsed by other rivals (like, say, mages and their weird time magics). In addition to the mention of figures like Ritssyn, it creates the idea of a secret warlock super-cabal that dispenses fel magics to other groups of warlocks and ties in events from the death of Illidan to the recent destruction of Deathwing as teachable moments that gave various warlocks eureka moments. "So that"s how you turn into a demon! I get it!"

It"s definitely worth a read, so go check it out.

It"s open warfare between Alliance and Horde in Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft"s next expansion. Jump into five new levels with new talents and class mechanics, try the new monk class, and create a pandaren character to ally with either Horde or Alliance. Look for expansion basics in our Mists FAQ, or dig into our spring press event coverage for more details!

This week"s discussion is all about Alvala and a changing multi-spec setup that eventually had to accomodate the healer lifestyle. With a flair for keeping things neat and tidy, as well as introducing neutral elements that span each class, spec, and role for every character, Alvala has created a UI that works for pretty much anything she can think of with room to grow.

I don"t want to spoil the surprise, but at the end of the article today, I talk about how much I like the little WeakAuras goldfish that Alvala has on her UI. It"s pretty much one of my favorite things. Must have caught me at a good time, little goldfish.

A first look at Mists of Pandaria professions: Alchemy

Filed under: Economy, Gold Capped, Mists of Pandaria

Every week, WoW Insider brings you Gold Capped, in which Fox Van Allen and Basil "Euripides" Berntsen aim to show you how to make money on the Auction House. Feed Fox"s ego by This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , tweeting him at @foxvanallen, or sacrificing your first-born to him.

One of the most common questions I get as WoW Insider"s (other) resident Auction House guru is this: What professions are going to be the best in Mists of Pandaria? Arguably, there"s no absolute right or wrong answer to the question -- after all, each profession is going to have its pros and cons. (I like to hedge my bets by giving different alts different professions to have a max level of each profession.)

That said, one of my favorite professions for the early days of any expansion is alchemy. It"s likely one of your favorites, too, and there"s no mystery as to why -- transmutes. In the earlier days of Cataclysm, it wasn"t rare to see Truegold sell for more than 1,000 gold apiece. That provided a small profit to any alchemist, but for those lucky enough to see bonus procs, a single transmute could turn a 4,000 gold profit or better. Not bad for about 20 seconds" worth of work.

Of course, that was then; this is now. Will alchemy remain as stupidly profitable in the early days of Mists of Pandaria? Only one way to find out -- ladies and gentlemen, it"s time to datamine! To the beta!
