Trick or Treat JMTC Style

It's the last day of the All Hallows Eve event for World of Warcraft.   Trick or treaters will abound outside tonight,   searching for candy to consume.

Here at JMTC Iowa branch we have our pumpkins hanging out in a row.  Spiderwebs on the doors and scary noises coming form inside (the scary noises are generally there every day in the year).

In Azeroth today is the last day to pick up your Trick Or Treat Pandaria as well as the other achievements for grabbing the baskets all over the known Warcraft world.   Just keep in mind that some of the candy pumpkins are hidden behind areas that need to be unveiled via quest lines   So lower level players might find it difficult to complete the achievements.

Do not forget to grab the Grim Visage buff for any of your toons that your leveling.   Also include any of your players that you haven't brought onto the field of battle yet.   Buffs such as these only tick down when your online with them.  Having this buff when your ready to start leveling the backup band will become helpful as you continue through Pandaria.

Readers of JMTC gave me a treat of my own.  After reading For Whom Does the Songbell Toll I received multiple emails reminding me that you could plant a crop to obtain the quest completion from Farmer Yoon,  then scrub the crop and plant your Songbell for the day.   This can allow you to continue to obtain the daily reputation points from Farmer Yoon while still giving you access to crops that you might find more useful (Including Songbells).

Have a safe halloween,  enjoy candy and scare a few adults.   And wear your masks,  gold goblin masks are the preferred mask of course.

Good Luck and Good Haunting

For Who Does the Songbell Toll

Mommar here.

Much of my crafting life seems to be wrapped around the collection of Spirits of Harmony and daily quests.    One of the faults with World of Warcraft is that with the varied amount of things to do with the game,  a certain amount of farming is required to be successful.

A friend of the journal read my discussions and pointed out something to me.   Once you hit Revered with the Tillers that there is a a plant that can be harvested for Motes of Harmony.

Being someone who can admit that I miss things from time to time I wanted to explore this to see if there was an advantage to using this seed.

Revered with the tillers can take up to two weeks to obtain.   By this time you should have 12 slots available to plant.   Your daily planting from Farmer Yoon will eat up a minimum of 1 of these slots to continuing building reputation with Farmer Yoon and the tillers.

So this gives s 11 slots to plant our Songbell plants.  Each of these plants offer us 1 Mote of Harmony per plot.   Planting this way will give you 1 Spirit of Harmony per day.   On rare days you will be able to harvest your crop immediately

The biggest concern with this strategy is that it will seriously slow down your ability to obtain crops through anything but  purchasing through Auction House or drops from Beasts/Humanoids in selected areas.  Also unless you continue to plant Farmer Yoon's request his reputation gains will falter as well.

Half way between revered and exalted with the tillers your farm will expand to 16 slots.   This gives you access to a full Spirit of Harmony and 6 Motes of Harmony per day.   If food is not as necessary to you on a daily basis for cooking then obtaining a spirit of harmony for a few minutes work is a good trade off.

Farming mobs in specific areas will still over the long haul offer you more opportunities to obtain crafting supplies such as Motes of Harmony.   But planting your crops with Songbell is also a viable method to farm these same materials.

The gang at Icy-Veins.com have an excellent guide that will walk you through The Tillers reputation and how to maximize your daily gains with the farmers.

Farming has become a major part of World of Warcraft during the Pandarian campaign.   Taking advantage of your time and effort will allow you to be on top of your own crop piles.   Throwing fruit at the other Gold Goblins.

Good Luck and Good Hunting
