In the seventy-sixth World of Warcraft podcast episode, we learn that Normal raiding is difficult and near impossible when an LFR Retribution Paladin is in your group, Molsan has fun in SO 3 setting up groups, portal-jumping boxes, and playing with his cogwheel, Sláinte gets booted out of the Blizzcon-ticket waiting room and throws a fit on the Internet, we configure and track drop-rate statistics with MobInfo2, and we place our brand new copy of “War Crimes” on our bookshelf.
Bitter and Salty is brought to you weekly by Molsan and Sláinte.
SoO1 NORMAL Recap
Low Retribution DPS, too much loot talk, and stepping on prisons
SoO3 Recap
Started telling the raid that it was my first time in SoO3… No response
Was yelled at immediately for not tanking engineers or w/e
Spoiled the Spoils… Box tanking and cog wheel PvP
Asked other tank to split groups and he said “no”
Blizzcon is Awesome
Eventbrite is not
MobInfo2 AddOn
MobInfo2
One of my all-time favorites… had forgotten to enable settings to group mobs together (“Combine Same Mobs”)
On the Database tab, I change loot item data quality to “Grey & Better” to show all the stats

Then it looks like this:

Bitter and Salty – Episode 76 – Nearest Prison Keg

A World of Warcraft Podcast - Gold Making, Raiding, Leveling, News, and Fun

Games

Leisure

In the one hundred and fifteenth World of Warcraft podcast episode, patch 7 dot 1 dot 5 is released with its sole purpose of crushing addons, rotations, macros, hopes, and dreams, we question the legitimacy of the “Salty” title as the Booty Bay Fishing Extravaganza returns in the latest patch, we determine what quests, addons, and other activities make you feel dirty in WoW, we burn our seals in heroic Emerald Nightmare to avoid tainted loot, but fall victim to the swirly boss, we realize that that it’s okay to trade Blood of Sargeras for Order Hall Resources instead of for materials to sell for gold… as long as you use those resources to run missions that reward you with gold, and we avoid farming old dungeons and faction reputations for our gold-making challenge.

The 7.1.5 Update

Crushed addons/macros… Didn’t want to play at all

Questions from the Community

Salty title is further cheapened
“OH changes made to Booty Bay s=fishing tourny makes winning very cheap and effortless now, how does he FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL about the cheapening of that requirement and further cheapening of Salty title?
from ANONYMOOSE”

What makes you feel dirty in WoW?

Kirin Tor Barrels quest with addon
Any WQ where you stand around and do nothing and get credit… like other Kirin Tor quests

Heroic EN

Spider boss falling/jumping
Tainted loots

Blood of Sargeras Vendor

Trade for order resources with macro

Molsan

Transmuting… Essence of Earth to Essence of Water… Use EoW to craft Tome of Illusions: Azeroth
Oh, but my xmute Shaman doesn’t have the recipe
Because he’s not friendly with Timbermaw
Oh and I haven’t played him since MoP
So here we go
Bought first EoE for 16 silver… xmuted into an EoW… market price at the time for EoW is 240g… Can do this once a day with chance to proc multiples

In the one hundred and fourteenth World of Warcraft podcast episode, Winter Veil is over, but collecting all the toys, pets, and mounts from our Garrison continues, Molsan gets his second legendary item from turning in The Wardens Emissary Quest, and pretends it’s not for PvP, Sláinte… not to be outdone… gets his second legendary from the Mythic chest in his order hall, we try to run mythic dungeons together, but can’t find the dumb meeting stone, or the quest to unlock The Arcway, we determine that underwater questing bad design, but the most awesome thing ever if you have the Underlight Blessing, and we give out our unique and unsolicited advice for our new gold-making challenge.

Bitter and Salty – Episode 114 – Agile Emissary Mound

In the one hundred and thirteenth World of Warcraft podcast episode, we go back in time and run timewalking dungeons and fish up all the achievements in Draenor, Molsan is permanently banished to Helheim on his Holy Priest, while Sláinte is forced to run heroic Emerald Nightmare instead of Trial of Valor, we open our Bloated Threshers to loot Darkmoon Daggermaw and sell them for crazy amounts of gold, we venture out to Suramar with a full quest log, but without a disguise, we stumble on the World Quest Group Finder addon and can’t believe we’ve been playing without it, we run battlegrounds to boost artifact power, and run old raids to collect missing appearances, and we discuss the rules for our new gold-making challenge.
Bitter and Salty is brought to you by Molsan and Sláinte.
Holy Ding 110

Dinged in Helheim so was banished/stuck
The 810 dilemma… Raise professions to craft your own gear, but need dungeons… or buy 810+ so you can run heroics for profession quests
External resources say that crafters are “giving away” 810+ gear (like Imbued Silkweave)… Min buyout is 2500g so not really

Heroic Emerald Nightmare vs. Trial of Valor

Salty gets salty

Timewarping Weekly Five

Died in every dungeon
Party was nice enough to give me agility gear to get me over 810
AIE Monk’s name was offensive
I fell and didn’t click on wind

Dark Moon FairE Fishing

Dat Dough Nut
Bloated Threshers OMG… Contain 5-10 Darkmoon Daggermaw when opened

World Questing in Failamar

You don’t have the portal?
You don’t have the disguise?
Shouldn’t you always try and help the weakest link get better, or do you toss them aside?
Returned for the masquerade deal… just winking a lot
Non-stop either “Something’s Not Quite Right…” or “Your Quest Log is Full” 

AddOns: World Quest Group Finder

Bitter and Salty – Episode 113 – Doughnut Finder Disguise

In the one hundred and twelfth World of Warcraft podcast episode, world quest bosses drop legendary and hidden artifact weapons as long as you remember to loot them, Molsan falls in love with the Holy Priest, and running Skyreach over and over isn’t enough to break him, Sláinte’s headset and computer melts down mid-raid, and he decides to go wireless for the first time, we discuss how to properly level Cooking by avoiding your Garrison and participating in Pilgrim’s Bounty, we explain how Fishing is not painful, but relaxing, especially when using a laptop while watching TV, and we break down shoulder enchants, making gold with fishing lures, and we help copy weak aura strings into your game.

Raiding Updates

Raid progression stuff
Salty legendary
Salty DK weapon things
Nothing for Molsan on world boss… rest of party got epics… was asked if I “got credit” for the kill

Legion Story

Do you even care or know what’s going on at this point
Doing the same thing… AH, world quest, leveling, etc. so there is no time for story

In Love with Holy

Story time… Getting reaquainted with Holy spec… 
Insta-queue dungeons
WoD random… Skyreach
Timewalking WotLK… much more difficult… was called “brain dead”
Researched, added macros… WoD random… Sky Reach… AGAIN
OMG it’s great… will now level as Holy

Firmware Saltware 

Computer drama
Wireless headset recommendations

Leveling Cooking and Pilgrim’s Bounty

The proper way to level Cooking instead of “Garrisons”
Can level Fishing simultaneously by fishing up mats for Cooking
Complete all PB quests for 8K experience per quest, 12K for dailies. Easy leveling!
Pick the “Pilgrim’s Bounty” bag as reward for chance at Toy and Pet (Frightened Bush Chicken)… Sell pet for 11K-21K

Fishing is Dumb and Painful

Why it’s not
It’s relaxing… low stress
Seriously crazy amounts of gold
Get into the Lure gold-making business
Oh, Molsan got Underlight Angler… Now what
How do you AFK fish while doing something else (watching TV, working, etc.)

Shoulder Enchant

Which one do you use?

Email from Eelor
Greetings Molsan and Salty,
Thought I would take the time to write you an email after hearing how you don’t get to many of them. I can only imagine how much work goes into producing your show on a regular basis and I want you to know it’s much appreciated. I thoroughly enjoy the format, the loosely scripted back and forth that harkens back to some of the old radio shows before TV. Listening to you guys kind of makes me think of Felix Unger and Oscar Madison hiring a goblin kodo caravan to take them from Crossroads to Ratchet. ( I’ll leave it to you guys to decide who is who) 

Bitter and Salty – Episode 112 – Bush Chicken Bounty

In the one hundred and eleventh World of Warcraft podcast episode, we open up our BlizzCon goodie bags, and drink the kool-aid from our tenth anniversary steins, we rate and recap our BlizzCon experiences and predictions, we agree that quantity is quality when considering new WoW content and patch releases, we review all of the 7.1.5 and 7.2 announcements, and prepare ourselves for Garrisons in Legion, flying, more invasions, class mounts, and the continuation of our artifact quest line, and we explain our theory about the upcoming journey to where it all began: underwater questing.

BlizzCon 2016

Goodie bag

No new expansion

We’re working on one, of course

BlizzCon Predictions… How Did We Do?

Winston from Overwatch announced as new hero for Heroes of the Storm
I won’t let YOU ruin my fun… Khadgar
People will wear their badges around all the time outside of the convention hall
Some people are more exciting on Twitter than IRL
Some people will be excited, some people will be jealous
People will get in lines both too early and too late
Diablo 25th anniversary video montage
Warcraft Legion 7.2 announcement
We will find out what Overwatch Sombrero means
SaltySlainte will sleep in

Patches

Varied patch structure
A “minor” release is not a “patch” release but okay
Quantity is quality
Getting content to us quicker instead of one major change holding up the whole release

Patch 7.1.5

Legion’s first “small” patch
MoP Timewalking dungeons… example of “evergreen” content… content that can go in any patch but will be around forever
Brawler’s Guild with dozens of new bosses
Micro Holidays

AQ Remembrance Day… Horde banner will fly for a year
Volunteer Guard day… swap appearances with a guard
Pepe-style hippogryphs
Boat Day… Azeroth spring break


PvP Changes Were Crazy

Throwing stuff out there and see what works


Class Updates

Reworking talents… will they ever be able to balance?
Secondary stats… buffing
Traps coming back to Hunters. Great.


REALLY SOON… Going on the PTR now

Patch 7.2 – TOMB OF SARGERAS

Return to the site of our greatest failure
All 12 classes = Armies of Legionfall
New World Quests… Love WQs!

Class-themed WQs


“Build a Base, Create a Foothold”

Sounds like.. GARRISONS!!!!1
But wait, no, it’s like Isle of Quel’danas
Nether Disruptor, Command Center, and, wait for it… a MAGE TOWER!


Legion Assaults

Just like the pre-legion invasions… yay?
WQs will be disabled in the zone… so you can participate in other WQs
Three-player scenarios!


Flying? There’s no flying in Legion!

Part two of Pathfinder… Salty was wrong
All about outdoor content to unlock flying… no dungeons or raids required
Unlocked for your character, and all characters on your account
See? No alts… just characters


Class Mounts

Warlock and Paladin are stupid… But that DK mount!


ToS Raid

Harvesting the Pillars of Creation
Kil’jaeden final boss


Patch Dungeons Return

Do you miss them?


Artifact Changes

Can play catch up in 7.1.5… Is this fine?
Relics that unlock multiple trait bonuses… Awesome
Continuation of the Artifact questline
Solo content to unlock an additional appearance… YES!!
