Hi everyone!  Pendrow here.  As you guys probably guessed from my earlier posts, I was pretty pumped for the release of Dugi’s Dailies and Events Guide, and like I said I was going to, I bought it as soon as the early bird offer was put forward.  I’ve had a few days to go through it with a few different toons of mine, and now that I’m familiar with it, I’d like to present to you my review of “Dugi’s Dailies and Events Guide.” by Dave “Dugi” Farrell. Just as a quick disclaimer, this is not the official page for the guide.  If you’re looking for the official site, click here.

OK, so here’s the low-down.  Dugi’s Dailies and Events Guide consists of 2 parts.  The first is a free online guide consisting of a bunch of helpful tips and videos.  This section in and of itself is a ton of value, and really helps with figuring out the best way to do certain quests.  Honestly, even if you have no intention of buying the guide, definitely sign up and get the free offer.

If you decide to opt for the paid option, you get to the real meat of the guide.  Dugi went with a similar approach to Zygor’s Leveling Guide and made his Daily Quests Guide available as an in-game addon.  Here’s a quick rundown of the features:

• Guides you to each daily quest objective with a big glowing arrow
• Prioritizes quests according to your reputation needs
• Includes jewelcrafting, cooking, and fishing dailies
• Includes all 11 seasonal event guides
• Contains the optimal paths for all current WotLK daily quests
• Free lifetime updates

Dugi has a video posted on his main page showing proof that he was able to do 25 daily quests in one hour using his own addon.  I wasn’t quite able to get it down that far, but I did manage to crank them out in an average about 2 hours.  It took slightly longer on my healadin, and slightly less on my death knight and rogue.  Overall, I feel like I got my money’s worth.  The new Argent Tournament quest update was a godsend too, it’s nice being able to burn through dailies that are brand new to the game.

I strongly recommend Dugi’s Dalies and Events Guide.  If you are wanting to get through your dailies faster, make the best use of your time in game, and kick your rep grinding into overdrive, you should definitely check out Dugi’s Dailies and Events Guide.  You’ll never look at dailies the same again.

Hey guys, just wanted to alert you all to something I got in my email.  Dave “Dugi” Farrell, author of Dugi’s Ultimate WoW Guide, is about to launch a guide to daily quests and seasonal event quests.  If you’re the type of person who has trouble figuring out what the optimal route is for dailies, which daily quests to avoid, and how to make the best use of your time to get all the rewards during holiday events, click here to check out Dugi’s WotLK Dailies & Event Quests Guide.

The stuff I’ve gotten in his newsletter so far is pretty awesome.  So far, topics include:

• How to fit in 25 dailies in 2 hours or less
• The fastest and most efficient way to complete each daily quest
• Tips for completing daily quest-related achievements
• Complete guide to all of the event quests
• Video guides to go along with each

I haven’t had a ton of time to play lately due to various holiday commitments, and with university starting back up again things won’t be changing in that department any time soon.

As such, I’ve been trying to make the most of my in-game time, so I’ve been mostly working on running heroics for emblems and trying to squeeze in a few dailies.  I’ve worked out a pretty good routine that ends up netting me a couple of hundred gold per day with under 30 minutes of dailies and 1 random heroic.  Here’s what I’ve been doing while I wait in the random heroic queue:

1. Fly to K3 in Storm Peaks and pick up the Overstock daily.  Do that, fly back, turn it in, and head to Dun Niffelem.
2. Pick up Hot and Cold, Blowing Hodir’s Horn, Polishing Hodir’s Helm, Feeding Arngrim, and Spy Hunter.
3. Do Polishing Hodir’s Helm, Feeding Arngrim, and Spy Hunter.
4. Do Blowing Hodir’s Horn and Hot and Cold.
5. If heroic hasn’t popped yet, either head to Argent Tournament or grind Brittle Revenants by Dun Niffelem.

The dailies will net you around 70g, the drops from the mobs should net you another 30 or so, more if you get some greens.  The random heroic will get you 23g on completion, plus cash drops, plus loot drops.  If you spend your emblems on Crusader Orbs, you can get another ~250g every 3 days assuming you only do 1 rand0m per day.

So there you go my fellow time-starved gamers!  Hopefully this little list treats you as well as it has me.  If you’re looking for more info, make sure to head over to the main page of WoW Daily Quests, and bookmark it if you haven’t yet!

Pilgrim’s Bounty, a seasonal event running from Nov. 22 to Nov.28 to celebrate Thanksgiving is live on the servers now, and as usual, Dugi has put up a guide for everyone who’s interested in getting their achievements, rewards, and titles.

He also mentions that there’s a way to level your cooking to 300 for cheap in under 30 minutes, which is definitely worth your time to check out if you’ve been lazy with leveling your cooking skill on some of your alts (or, GASP, your main!).

The coolest part is that Dugi’s got an in-game guide for the quest chain that gets your cooking skill up that high, and it sets you up to get some dailies done.  If you haven’t checked out Dugi’s WoW Daily Quests Guide (Check out the linked review for more info), I’m sure he’ll have a link up for that too.

Of course this means that there are all kinds of fun new quests and the shiny loot that goes with them, and I’d hate for you guys to miss out on even one of the event rewards. That’s why I figured I’d point you in the direction of Dugi’s free all-encompassing Hallow’s end guide!

As usual, Dugi has put together an awesome guide to the Hallow’s End quests for WoW’s halloween event, and he’s got a list of all the halloween rewards up too. Of course, if you’re into the whole achievement deal, he’s got you covered there too, with a complete list of all of the achievements you need to get the coveted “Hallowed” title.

Also, for those of you who haven’t picked up Dugi’s Dailies & Events Guide yet, now is a good time to do so. Dugi is offering a special Halloween promotion for people who purchase the guide through his Hallow’s End guide page.

The first 100 players to get the guide will get a free copy of either his Gold and Professions guide or his PVP guide. If you want to take advantage of this deal while it’s still available, click here to go to the Hallow’s End page, the deal is at the bottom of the page.

Happy Hallow’s End everyone! I’m off to do a Horseman run or 10, I want that mount!

Now as I’m sure you know, I’m a big fan of Dugi’s WoW Guides.  One of the reasons I’ve gone with his products over all the others is because he puts out regular updates on his guides, and throws in lots of free stuff.  As an example of that, he’s put together a free guide for the upcoming Midsummer Fire Festival showing all the items you can get, where to find the bonfires, how to get the vestments… All the good stuff.

On top of that, he’s running a promotion right now that allows you to get either his PVP Strategies guide or his Gold & Professions guide for free for the first 100 people to purchase the Dailies and Events guide through the Midsummer Fire Festival page.

Whether you’re looking to pick up the guide or not, the free guide is definitely worth checking out if you plan on taking part in the Midsummer Fire Festival event at all.  If you’d like to check it out and make sure you get the most out of this event, go ahead and click here.

He’s got talent builds, help with choosing a race, and all kinds of stuff on there, and lots more to come.

The Air Strikes Must Continue.  There was just something about that quest.  The buildup as the rest of the squadron moved in to cover you, the sudden change from peaceful (but naga-filled) forest to burnt, ravaged land packed to the brim with the Burning Legion battling Shattered Sun, Brutallus jeering and taunting you as you reached the middle of your run…  It was classic Blizzard.  It also definitely didn’t hurt that you got to PEW PEW with blue lasers…

Anyway, just thought I’d take a stroll down memory lane with you.  Anyone have any favorite daily quests from The Burning Crusade days?

Well, tonight I decided to respec to Unholy and picked up Unholy Aura and On a Pale Horse (Movement speed talents, for those of you who haven’t rerolled a DK yet, heh) and I got a bit of a shock. I finished my 25 daily quests in 91 minutes. I managed to shave 15 minutes from my best time, and about 20 from my average, and that was with me stopping to smash a priest who thought he could step.

I’m thinking with a little more optimization of my choice of dailies, I can probably whittle it down to just over an hour. Maybe 250g / hr from dailies really is possible. Anyone care to share their best speed record for 25 daily quests?
