The Daily Quest: Getting ideas, thinking
You tell him, Belle. You tell him, and then you go save your crazy father before he blows himself up doing whatever it is he’s doing. Today we’ve got a few posts from around the blogosphere with all kinds of thinking, ideas, and other smart subjects that Gaston doubtless wouldn’t approve of at all.
- WTS Heals thinks that perhaps you might want to consider using “lifegrip” in raids.
- Tank Out of Water thinks it would be nice if the 4.2 trailer weren’t chock full of Thrall. (Warning, contains some 4.2 spoilers.)
- The Violet Scribe has some interesting ideas regarding weather and World of Warcraft.

The Daily Quest: Thinking inside the box

Oh, strange and delightful Trogg crate. Your boxy antics from beta and the ability to stick around are sorely missed. I have no idea why, but I wish I could run around Orgrimmar with you on my head — for no real logical, useful reason, but simply for the sheer entertainment factor. Maybe someone at Blizzard will give us a wearable box found by archaeology or something, someday; one can only dream.
Today, we’ve got a collection of posts from around the blogosphere of people thinking outside the box — or perhaps inside the box, because as we found out in the Cataclysm beta, being in the box was actually pretty cool.
- Tree of Life offers up some of the most perfect places for Alliance players to fish for Old Crafty.
- Righteous Defense rejoices in the return of bubble hearth! Well … sort-of bubble hearth.
- Life in Group 5 fills in resto shaman as to the best places to start their own Spirit Link totem laser light show.
- Troll Racials are Overpowered has a bizarre and oddly appealing suggestion for boss wipe mechanics.

The Daily Quest: Creative thinking
… or maybe he was just really, really bored between pulls.

The Daily Quest: Alternative thinking

WoW Insider’s on a Daily Quest (which we try to do every day, honest) to bring you interesting, informative and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.
The Evil Twin debuff doesn’t really do anything; it’s just there. But I’ve often pondered what exactly an evil twin of my character would do. Would she join the Lich King’s army? Would she trick people into thinking she was a mage with her Wormhole Generator and laugh when they tried to click? Or maybe she’d visit Sheddle Glossgleam in Dalaran, get her shoes nice and shiny, then kill a squirrel and stand on the corpse, waiting to see what poor sucker stops to try and loot the thing.
Oh, wait. She already does that last one.
Regardless, here are some posts from here and there around the blogosphere in regards to different ways of thinking:
- RestoDude ponders the interplay between gaming and real life.
- World of Warcraft Philosophized considers the questionable legitimacy of objective rewards.
- Corath’s Blog muddles over the switch from caster to melee main.
- Asilventures has a few ideas about beating the pre-Cataclysm blahs. Noggenfogger roulette, anyone?

Around Azeroth Beta Edition: Now you’re thinking with portals
Beta tester Polegara of <Chamber of Aspects> (EU-A) was recently wandering around the newly redecorated Orgrimmar when she came upon this ghostly blood elf. The pointy-eared stranger, no doubt an Aperture Laboratories employee, was offering free portals to the inhabitants of the capital city. “Unfortunately, when questioned further, she admitted she would only send me to Nordrassil,” wrote Polegara. “But her strange attire, coupled with a discarded Fusion Core from Uldum that had been deposited there by some untidy adventurer, gave her an otherworldy air. I wondered to what dimensions she might send me if only I could ding enough.”
