I consider myself to be a relative expert of almost all things to do with World of Warcraft.  That’s why, when I saw this new dailies and events guide, I was pretty surprised.  I mean, I can understand a few people maybe wanting a WoW Dailies guide to help them, but the guide seemed very popular.

That got me thinking a bit.  At first I thought, I’ve been playing WoW since it was in beta, so I know almost everything there is to know about dailies and events – but what about newer players, or players who just aren’t as hardcore as me?  After a while, I was just too curious to stand it anymore.

So, after deciding to just give Zygor’s Dailies & Events Guide a shot (I wasn’t expecting much at all), I was in for a rather big surprise.  I was completing dailies faster than I ever had before – and I’m an expert!  Once I picked up my trampled ego off the floor, I was pretty impressed.  I mean, I was doing things in only a few minutes what used to take me an hour, or more, to complete.

Now, I’m the proud owner of full heirloom item sets for all classes and I got my Crusader title faster than I thought was possible.  All in all, I use Zygor’s guide every day, and if you are looking to do dailies and get heirloom items and your Crusader title really fast, this guide is not a bad investment.

One of the newest ingame status symbols is the coveted Crusader title. Obtaining this title proves to everyone who sees you that have put in the work and you know what you’re doing. It’s a title that carries prestige and most people want it so they can also become a highly toted elite player in World of Warcraft. Not to mention earning the Crusader title also grants you access to purchase items only available to this group of elite players.

Living Among the Elite

There’s no question that players look at other players who have earned their Crusader title with respect. It has the same effect of a player who is decked out in many hard-to-get items. They’ve put in the work and time to aquire those things, and many people wish they could do the same. Besides the status of becoming a respected player in WoW, there are other benefits of earning your Crusader title and living among the elite.

Once you earn your Crusader title, you will have access to purchase items that are only available for sale the those who have earned the Crusader title. One of these items is the Argent Pony Bridle. Once you become a Champion at the Argent Tournament, you will receive a companion who you can summon to follow you around. That companion is essentially useless, until you purchase the Argent Pony Bridle.

The Argent Pony Bridle, when used, allows your companion to serve as a Bank, Vendor, or Mailbox, allowing you to access those things anywhere, without the need to go to a main city first. It’s a very nice item to be able to purchase, as it makes your companion incredibly useful, and can only be acquired once you have earned your Crusader title. Another major benefit of earning your Crusader title is it opens up the option to purchase Heirloom items by doing dailies alone, so they are much easier to acquire.

Earning Your Crusader Title

By now, you’re probably begging to know how you can earn the Crusader title for yourself. The requirements to earn the Crusader title are that you must earn the achievement Exalted Champion of the Alliance or Exalted Champion of the Horde. Unless you know exactly what you are doing, earning those achievements will prove to be difficult, tedious, and extremely time consuming.

You can try to brave the trenches and figure out for yourself how exactly to earn your Crusader title. However, myself, I would prefer to have guidance with someone walking me step-by-step through the entire process, making it a breeze. That’s why I set out in search for a guide that would help me earn my Crusader title quickly and easily. Zygor’s Dailies & Events Guide is the guide I finally chose to help me. It proved to be a much needed breath of fresh air, compared to other guides I tried during my search.

With Zygor’s guide, not only do they walk you step-by-step through the entire process of earning your Crusader title, but they show you how to get Hairlooms and make gold with dailies quickly and easily, as well. So, if you are in the same boat I was in, knowing what you want, but no idea how to go about obtaining it, I highly recommend Zygor’s Dailies & Events Guide to help you. Like me, you will not be disappointed with the results, I promise you. Want to get your own copy of Zygor’s guides? Click Here!

Luckily, Blizzard has introduced, with the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, a new type of item to help players level their alts quicker and easier than ever before. They are called Bind on Account items, or Heirlooms. In order to have access to get Heirlooms, you must already have at least one level 80 character, for the most part.

Power and Extra Experience

There are 2 awesome benefits of getting and using Heirloom items. The first benefit is they scale to your level. So, as you gain levels, the Heirloom item stats (armor, damage, etc) increase as well. This is really cool because it makes it unnecessary to upgrade most of your gear. Heirlooms have good stats, armor, and damage for your current level, so they keep you powerful and able to do quests quickly, which is a huge plus when trying to level up some alt characters.

The second, and probably most important, benefit is that some Heirlooms increase the experience points you gain from killing mobs and turning in quests by 10%. If you have 3 Heirloom pieces that give a 10% experience boost each, that’s a total of a 30% experience boost for your character while leveling to level 80. So, if it usually takes you 6 months total, real time, to level your alts, you could level that same character in about 4 months total. Just having Heirlooms could save you 2 months of your time! That’s pretty amazing, if you ask me.

Getting Your Own Heirlooms

The most popular way of getting Heirlooms, hands down, is by doing dailies. Getting a full set of heirlooms can be done pretty quickly by doing dailies, if you know what you’re doing. The whole point of heirloom items is to save you time. So, not only do you want to save time after you get your Heirlooms, but you should also look into saving time while in the process of getting Heirloom items.

The way to do that is with an optimized route of all the dailies you need to do in order to get the items to trade in for Heirlooms. Obviously, you can figure out your own path for doing this, but if you’re like me, you’ll want a guide written by professional gamers for the sole purpose of getting dailies done quickly.

There is a certain guide I use for all my dailies needs. It’s called Zygor’s Dailies & Events Guide. In their guide, they show you step-by-step how to get Heirloom items. As a bonus, they walk you through speed runs for making gold with dailies, as well as getting your Crusader title, which is needed to buy Heirlooms if you want to be able to buy them by doing dailies alone. If you want to get Heirlooms, gold, and your Crusader title fast, I highly recommend picking up a copy of Zygor’s guide.Click Here! Good luck!

Gameplay

As far as the gameplay of Deep Realms goes, it isn’t all that bad.  The story line is a bit weak, but the game just came out.  So far, the story is that there were five heroes that went out ten years ago to defeat the forces of Chaos.  Only two of them came back and won’t talk about it.  You grew up on a farm with your brother, Aron, and everything is peachy keen until today… from there, your brother disappears and you are trying to find him.  There are mobs to fight, caves, dungeons, and more to explore, as well as an arena and plenty of great social gaming help from your friends.

For those that have played some of the popular Zynga games, especially Treasure Isle, you will already be familiar with how to move about and explore the areas as well as energy and so forth.  For those that play normal turn-based RPG games, you will be familiar with the combat and different stats that items can give you.  You have to move one space at a time while you are exploring, which eats up one energy for each space.  As you go, you gather loot (experience, coins, potions, etc) and you also come across mobs that you must fight.  To fight these mobs, you have to use the different skills that you’ve gained so far and pick one to use for each turn.  Once you have taken your turn, it is the mob’s turn to go and they can deal damage to you as well.  If your health gets too low, you can use a health potion to bump it back up, or you can head to town to rest.

In the town (which is a new feature), you can do everything from challenge other players in the arena to play games of chance to gain really good armor and weapons.  You’ll also be able to rest up here without logging out.  I really like that they’ve added this part of the game – it makes it more interesting as well as giving you something else to do while you are waiting for your health to go back up.

Overall, the gameplay gets an 8 out of 10 from me.

Graphics

Now the graphics are a bit corny.  They remind me of some old PS2 games I have (that I love), but they aren’t completely horrible either.  For those that play games like World of Warcraft, don’t expect those kinds of graphics here.  These are more cartoonish, and not quite as sharp.  I do like the graphics however, and they are great with the overall feel of the game.  I have noticed since starting to play this game that the graphics are getting better as well as the animations and so on.  You can see from the screenshots that I’ve put here in this article how the graphics look overall in different areas of the game, as well as be able to determine if you like them or not.

Overall, the graphics get a 7 out of 10 from me.

Sounds

I normally play Facebook games with the sounds off, mainly for the reason that the vast majority of them stink.  Deep Realms has ok music and sound effects – but nothing that I would listen to while I play.  The music sounds a bit like a corny version of some Harry Potter background music while they are shopping in the candy store and the sound effects sound like they were fashioned after an old Nintendo game from the 90′s.  Personally, I don’t care for them.  But, I’m picky and it takes a lot to impress me sound and music wise when it comes to games.

Overall, the sounds get a 2 out of 10 from me.

Overall Impression

When it comes to RPG games on Facebook, there are a ton of them… many don’t even count as RPG – the developer simply put that to get more hits.  Deep Realms is as close to a turn-based RPG game as it gets, and it’s pretty fun to play.  Younger gamers will love this one (my kids do), and even those more seasoned gamers will enjoy playing this one in their free time.  The more that the game is developed, the more goods and loot that are added as well as new things to do in the game (i.e. the town), the more gamers will enjoy playing this RPG.  I play it and enjoy it.

Overall, I give Deep Realms a solid thumbs up and an 8 out of 10.

Of Orcs and Men

Of Orcs and Men first puts you into the role of an elite Orc soldier from the legendary legion of Bloodjaws, a league of warriors deeply involved in the war opposing the Orcs and Goblins on one side to their persecutors, Humankind. As a veteran warrior who has seen the most brutal of battles, you are appointed by the Orc commander to complete a mission that could change the course of the war: kill the one man responsible for all of this bloodshed, the one who has, for years, exhorted the human masses to loath and fight the green-skinned people: the Emperor himself.

A Goblin will soon join you to aid you in your mission… he is everything the Orc is not. But you find that this works to your advantage as you fight on the battleground and off. Taking advantage of their natural traits, they have their own skill trees you will develop. While the Orc focuses on power, reflecting his incredible strength, the Goblin will benefit from darker powers and stealth abilities, making him the perfect assassin.

From the filthy alleys at the foot of the Great Wall, to the depths of the Empire of Men, your two infiltrated heroes will face the greatest dangers through their epic quest. They will commune with the Wizards, fight the assassins and soldiers of the Empire of Men, and oppose the powerful Sisters of Laments.

As the world falls into chaos and you face a cruel and merciless humanity bent on eternal persecution of Orcs and Goblins, your unlikely duo will have one last chance to change the course of History and, hopefully, bring peace between your peoples.

Of Orcs and Men is scheduled for a Spring 2012 release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
