World of Warcraft - Public Board
Forum Maintence - Please Read
Submitted by Maska on Sun, 2010-02-14 14:18. World of Warcraft - Public BoardDue to inactivity and consensus of the Inner Circle of SCARAB. The Class specific boards of WoW as well and Horde faction forums have been removed.
Please direct any queries/concerned to the Inner Circle.
Gear, Spec, Gems and Enchant help Sites
Submitted by Spicedrum on Fri, 2009-04-24 18:41. World of Warcraft - Public BoardFirst off, all of these links I'm pretty sure have been posted at one time or another, but with the recent changes adding in dual specs and such, I've seen a lot of questions on how to gear, spec etc different classes. So here are my list of resources that I use to help pick out my gear, specs etc. Feel free to add your own, because I'm sure each class has their own, I know one of mine is a shadow priest forum.
1st: Your guildmates : Talk to the folks that know the class/spec your interested in. We have some VERY knowledgeable folks in our guild. I know when I want to toss around Shadow Priest specs, gear, or can't make up my mind, I talk to Iona. We are a family guild and no one will ever think your retarded for wanting to know more about your class/spec. Not sure who those folks are...ask in /gu. Or look at the the combat logs Skee posts after almost every raid. Find the folks at the top of those charts and ask them what you can do.
Guild Bank items are NOT to be AH'ed
Submitted by Spicedrum on Thu, 2007-11-22 21:06. World of Warcraft - Public BoardI didn't think we needed to actually write this rule down, since as a guild we strive for the whole HONOR, VALOR, LOYALITY idea. But it seems that we do.
No item that you remove from the guild bank is to be placed on the AH. These items are not there for you to cash farm with. That is what quests and mobs are for.
There is a log on the guild bank tabs and we can see what is added and removed, by who and when. Anyone with access to the tab can see this. Also when you post and item on the AH, it shows the posters name...anyone can see this as well. Its not hard at all to track things like this and you will be caught. So far we have had 2 people do this.

Note from the Inner Circle
Submitted by ozwyn on Fri, 2007-10-19 08:08. World of Warcraft - Public BoardTo all Guildmembers,
We wanted to make sure that everyone understands that Scarab is a family guild. We have parents and children that play together during early and sometimes even later primetime hours. Of course it is difficult to define primetime hours since we have members on the East Coast and West Coast of the United States.
What we wanted to remind everyone is that certain conversations aren't appropriate for guildchat and that we have always strived to maintain a PG-13 rating on guildchat. Conversations about illegal activities (of any kind) really aren't family orientated and we request you keep those activities to yourselves, if you cannot do that the IC will ask the ingame officers to remove your ability to speak in guildchat or the ingame officers may do this themselves after warning you.

There have already been a few unofficial ones, but this one from Blizzard is pretty good. Just click were you want to be and follow the quest line. Why didn't they have this 2 months ago?

Online Roster!!
Submitted by Maska on Thu, 2005-08-25 15:40. World of Warcraft - Public Boardhttp://www.rpgoutfitter.com/wow-gm/guild.cfm?guild=SCARAB@Whisperwind
Testing this out for a possible online roster... let me know what you all think...
If you all like it, there's Add-Ons that will compile your character stats and upload them to their server... you can see mine is uploaded for reference.
Feedback needed please!
EDIT:
The Character Profiler is a MOD that you run on your system. It will compile the information, and then all you have to do is (with a registered account) upload the SavedVariable.lua file to them for parsing. There's 2 ways to do that...
Why assisting is SO important.
Submitted by Gurgle on Fri, 2005-07-29 17:52. World of Warcraft - Public BoardThis is my first MMO, so during my first instance runs I was a fairly ignorant newbie. As I progressed toward 60, I learned the "right" way to do things, and as a healer, it was really easy to see how much of a difference it made. I've since had the opportunity to go back through most of the instances again with lower level characters, applying the tactics that I learned with my 60.
The biggest thing that I learned through this process is importance of assisting.
Unfortunately, it's also the thing that I see done poorly most often, even in Scarab groups.
Any group needs a good tank and a good healer. Without them, you're screwed. However, if you have a good tank and a good healer, and no one is assisting, chances are, you're still screwed.

Submitted by Devlyn on Wed, 2005-07-20 14:01. World of Warcraft - Public BoardThought this could be of some use ![]()
Overview
It has occurred to me that the difference between success and failure in an Instance has less to do with the Classes/Levels involved than it does with the simple fact that many people do not know how to function in a Group environment. Most novice players tend to believe that an Instance Group is the same as grinding mobs with four of their friends. Nothing could be further from the truth, and this belief is responsible for an incredible amount of needless death, failure, and lost time.
Anyone who has ever been with a veteran Instance Group knows that the difference between a knowledgeable group and a novice group is like night and day. A veteran group runs smoothly, quickly, and accomplishes their goals with a minimum of downtime and death. Conversely, a novice group quickly turns into frustration and chaos. Yet a "bad" group can quickly become a good one with only a small amount of effort, if everyone involved is willing to cooperate.
Still fighting for my wow account
Submitted by Camdon on Thu, 2010-07-22 15:27. World of Warcraft - Public BoardI finally managed to get back into my original Email addy for WoW and I've come to find out that back in february someone tried to use a whole bunch of bogus credit cards to get into my account, and as such Blizzard has charged me 16 bucks for each attempt that I'll have to pay before I can play. I find this majorly annoying, and I'm not sure that they're going to be so willing to clear it all up from the replies. Fingers crossed =/
Just for light reading!
Submitted by blackrabbit on Tue, 2010-07-13 23:31. World of Warcraft - Public BoardI recently started a blog just for fun, based on some WoW experiences. If you feel like reading, you're welcome to swing by.
It's just a little mini project I thought would be interesting. It's been fun to write so far.
All you PC geniuses out there...
Submitted by blackrabbit on Sun, 2010-07-11 14:34. World of Warcraft - Public BoardLately (for the last 4-5 months or so) my PC has had an interesting issue where every 20-30 minutes, sometimes more often, it disconnects me from WoW, boots me to the login screen, and makes me go back in. I don't lose my internet connection, and I don't get knocked off vent or any other application that happens to be active. It doesn't get any better or worse by rebooting. Andy recently cleaned out my pc, dusted out the case, downloaded updated drivers for everything, and did one or two other maintenance things that I'll get him to post about.
But has anyone ever encountered a problem like this, and have any clue what it is and how to fix it? It's very annoying and it gets really difficult to play when I'm constantly being bounced off the server.
Blizzard announces more RealID: your real name on the forum
Submitted by Bryn on Wed, 2010-07-07 11:42. World of Warcraft - Public BoardEver had to post on the official customer support forums when a character got stuck, you couldn't log in, etc.?
Ever posted on your class forums to offer / ask for advice?
Ever posted on your realm forum to set up an event, look for an item, or discuss something?
Coming Soon, thanks to RealID, any such posts you make will have your real name on them instead of your character name. There is no opt-out. The only thing you will be able to configure is if your character name is also shown.

Me & wow...
Submitted by Coventina on Wed, 2010-05-19 19:58. World of Warcraft - Public BoardHiya everyone. Two nights ago I canceled my WOW subscription, this might just be untill Cataclysm or might be longer...kind of up in the air. I was just really finding myself not enjoying WoW and dreading logging on & raiding..and that's not a fun away to spend most of your time. Also Row and I want to spend more quality time together and raiding was getting in the way. So she also will not be raiding a night anymore, she'll still play wow during the day if the mood strikes her. I know it might some as a shock to some of you because we were pretty hard-core...but it's the right decision for us. And I might buy the game cards once in a while and pop on wow to say hi...just have to see.
Cataclysmic Events!!!!
Submitted by Alfeus on Wed, 2010-05-19 08:17. World of Warcraft - Public BoardThis is more of a question then a statement, what are SCARAB's plans for Catatclysm, and will we start playing the Horde RP realm again..... maybe as a goblin it will be more fun when you get there cool little go-Karts. I hope that we can get to 85 quick and start getting some end game exposure!!!!! woot
Hail SCARAB
nothing major
Submitted by Alfeus on Sat, 2010-05-08 20:59. World of Warcraft - Public BoardIm pulling Nagoul out of SCARAB until Cataclysm. Friends and what not have been asking for me to go raid with them, Nago, Alfeus and everyone else are still proud and true SCARABs tho, and Nagoul will be again.

Looking for Guild Tailor Revered with Ashen Verdict
Submitted by Karasunaki on Fri, 2010-05-07 12:48. World of Warcraft - Public BoardI need to have a set of Leggings of Woven Death made in the next week or so.
Do any guild tailors already have the recipe already?
If not, do we have a guild tailor that is revered with Ashen Verdict? In which case I can look to fund the extra primordial saronite so you can buy the recipe.
Let me know.
Thanks,
Karasunaki/Karaleone
A reason to roll a hunter....updated with video
Submitted by maxdawg on Thu, 2010-04-08 18:15. World of Warcraft - Public BoardEdit - Watch the awesome video - http://www.warcrafthuntersunion.com/2010/04/whu-level-10-hunter-raid-video/
I'm thinking about leveling my character on that realm to 19 for the next event whenever that is. It was really fun, would love to have others join in if they wanted. There are of course the idiots that starve for attention, but overall I'd compare it to fun like the gnekid gnome race we had a while back.
Just follow the link below or go to warcrafthuntersunion.com and scroll down to the page. This is awesome. I'm thinking about doing it. If anyone else wants to let me know and maybe we can roll hunters on that realm tonight and get to level 10.
beware, i smell a scam
Submitted by Skee on Sun, 2010-03-07 11:04. World of Warcraft - Public BoardSo as I'm sitting online playing WoW, I get a tell from a toon who's name is a jumble of letters (1st clue). They formatted the tell so it looks a bit official--
"whatever his name was" tells you:
[GM]World of warcraft: This account has been suspended, see "website link" for details"
Now the website name has "wow" in it, but the site itself is not blizzard.com or worldorwarcraft.com (2nd clue).
(3rd clue) Logging in to the real blizzard account website shows my account in good working order.
I suspect the weblink provided in the tell is not one that will contribute to your overall computer health, and don't suggest following it. Whether they try to do something directly from the website or just ask for you to "log in to your account", i don't know.
Heroes of Scarab!
Submitted by milksneaker on Mon, 2010-01-11 21:53. World of Warcraft - Public BoardThe thing that strikes you the most about Stormwind is the business of the streets. Every where you look you can see business taking place. Every time you come here you think "Gee I should have ported to Iron Forge. Stormwind is so busy this time of year." But then you remind yourself that there is no collision detection so traffic does not matter.
*A Trumpet Call Sounds in Your Ears*
From the bank steps you look past the fountain and see a vanguard approaching. Two hundred of the human kingdom’s finest NPC's are lead by a single herald. A strikingly handsome Night Elf. You look above his head and read his name. Tresin the Awesome Beetle. "How did he get this awesome title." you mumble to your self. Just from looking at him you can tell he is really smart, funny, and really cool to hang out with. You sit down and pay complete attention to him and really take this whole speech thing seriously.
Low-level madness: Thursday, 21 Jan, 8:00 P.M. server
Submitted by Bryn on Wed, 2010-01-06 18:07. World of Warcraft - Public BoardAre you:
- level 30 and wondering what's hiding in Razorfen Kraul?
- wishing your alt could get a run through the Scarlet Monastery?
- tired of getting your tail kicked by Hogger or some other nasty elite world quest?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions (or any imagined questions like them), then here is your chance to do something about it! Tell me what you need, with what character, and I'll try to either a. get a mess of like-minded people to go, or, failing that, b. zerg you through with a high-level character. (I have a smattering of characters scattered through the levels and can probably arm-twist Neece into helping on one of her many alts. Three people constitute a group!)
Tabard funtime!
Submitted by blackrabbit on Wed, 2010-01-06 12:42. World of Warcraft - Public BoardSo, we're going to play at redesigning our tabard again, for s and g's. This time we're not holding an actual tabard auction. Participation is strictly voluntary, and anyone in WoW can play! Those of you not currently playing Wow, too darn bad. ![]()
If you want to design our February tabard, simply go here and make one. Then take a screenshot and send me the file, or upload it to your own image hosting site and send me a link. Curse used to have a site where you could have other people view your tabard design without jumping through hoops, but that is no longer an option, sadly. However, this way works just as well. I tested it this morning. Granted, I am using mozilla and photobucket and those are really the only two systems I am familiar with.
