I updated
BirdAngel.net. It is not much, I re-added the Japanese Media page, added a link to my LiveJournal now that I think I have made it public-safe, and I added a spreadsheet for
Tsukii's Professions to the World of Warcraft page.
I spent some time today updating that spreadsheet with the new Outland recipes. My goal was to find an enchanting formula that I could use to skill up my Enchanting skill. Currently,
Tsukii's Enchanting skill is 365. In order to get it that high, I had to do a lot of Enchant Gloves - Major Strength, which uses 12 Arcane Dust and 1 Greater Planar Essence. The 12 Arcane Dust is what hurts, in addition to the fact that I had to use this formula to skill up even when it was of yellow skill level, which means it did not always give me a skill-up point. Using up 12 Arcane Dust and not getting a point really hurts.
However, that enchant is now of green skill level, which means it will rarely get me a skill-up point. I have two enchants of orange skill level: Enchant Gloves - Major Spellpower and Enchant Ring - Spellpower. Orange skill level is always guaranteed to give you a skill-up point. However, the materials for the enchants are really expensive. Enchant Gloves - Major Spellpower requires 6 Greater Planar Essence, 6 Large Prismatic Shards, and 6 Primal Mana. Enchant Ring - Spellpower requires 8 Large Prismatic Shards and 8 Greater Planar Essence. I have two enchants that are of yellow skill level: Enchant Gloves - Major Healing and Enchant Weapon - Major Spellpower. Their material components are nearly identical to the ones I just listed, so they are also very expensive.
My goal in the spreadsheet was to try to find an enchant that I am missing that would be good for skill-ups: orange or yellow skill level, with a fairly cheap material cost. Unfortunately, it seems that all of the enchants that I am missing are just as expensive. I am not sure if I should continue trying to skill up on Enchant Gloves - Major Strength, even though it will most likely not get me points, or if I should skill up on an expensive orange skill level enchant. I think I am leaning towards using the expensive orange skill level one, specifically Enchant Ring - Spellpower.
By the way, I made that WoW icon for LiveJournal, but it is rather uninspired.
