The Crimson Halls, Quel'Delar and Shadow's Edge

Today is Tuesday, and we all know what that means. The servers are going to be down for 8 hours today, and the Crimson Halls will be opening in Icecrown Citadel. This wing consists of The Blood Princes (Keleseth, Valanar, and Taldaram) and Blood Queen Lana'thel. It is to my understanding that this week is the same difficulty as The Plagueworks, but I'm not sure on that. As of right now, my guild has only managed to down Rotface on 25 man, and we came close to getting Festergut. We haven't even touched Professor Putricide yet, but I imagine we will be able to see him this week, given we get more gear and such.

I also managed to obtain Quel'Delar, Might of the Faithful yesterday, and it replaced my Justicebringer as my mainhand. My Sharpened Obsidian Edged Blade finally gets put to rest in my bank with the rest of my old weapons. With the new sword, I saw my DPS jump up by about 1000 in heroics today, putting me at about 5.5k on average. I think this just goes to show exactly how important it is for warriors to have good weapons, more so than just good armor. The weapon is the single most important piece of equipment we can have, as it can make or break us in DPS and damage done. Don't get me wrong, better gear obviously means better performance, but I think the weapon comes first when it comes to upgrades for a warrior, especially one who is DPS.

That being said, since I already have my two-piece Tier 10, I plan on using the rest of my frost emblems for obtaining Shadow's Edge, or rather, the 25 Primordial Saronite required to make it. So far, I have about 3, and will have 4 after my druid completes one more daily random heroic. Yes, I am using my other level 80 characters to help me gather the saronite, as they are my alt characters and my warrior is my main (and the only one who raids). That being said, my warrior will still be my chief source of Frost Emblems, but I should be able to get Shadow's Edge fairly quickly anyway with the help of my alts. If you're seeking this axe on any particular character, I suggest thinking about using any other 80s you have to buy some saronite. It will speed it up!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some RP stories to write up.
