I like guns. But I’m a Dwarf Hunter. A bow just seems weird on a dwarf to me. Cross bow makes sense somehow, but a big ol bow on a dwarf? o.o The noise doesn’t bother me either. I think if I had a Night Elf or Troll hunter bows seem to make more sense for those races. Seems like I’m a minority in this. I still remember the dwarf scottish “Lock n’Load” from Warcraft 3 with fond memories. heh.

Hmm … I messed up the html tags … sorry … again without

If you ever run into meta gem troubles … remember the Enchanted Tear.

Can only ever have 1 of those but they fit any gem slot and count as red, yellow AND blue.

Basically this little gem alone would activate a Relentless Earthsiege Diamond
and what’s best you can buy the needed Siren’s Tear for 100 Clams you can pick up in Borean Tundra. :)

I too hated guns earlier, mostly due to the god-awful noice they make. Luckily there is a way around it, the Gun Silencer Suppressor addon fixes noise issues and gives your N2K a cool, new (albeit non fantasy) soundscheme. The gun silncer can be found on curse here: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/9480/

Hey Mania!

Personally, I dualwielded the Fangs of Truth from the Wyrmrest Accord rep. However, if you only want to really grind 1 rep at at time, I would put effort into the Dark Knights (Ebon Blade?) faction. They sell a 1H sword that gives Stami and +hit. If yo dual weild them, that +hit will be so much better than any agi you might get on a weapon. But, you can always enchant them with agility. If +hit isn’t an issue, then the 2H is awesome! That sword is really worth it. Also, they have one of the best non-heroic/pre-nax shoulders in the game! On top of that, they have an enchant for (shoulders I think, but could be for a head item) that is just the best in the game for that slot. So, Ebon Hold/Kingts/Blade/Faction is one rep that is really worth getting.

More later!

"Also if I was horde and on your server I’d help you get you all the gear you wanted. Thanks for all the great blogging and great pet info. Happy hunting." Very much agreed here. Would run you through heroics and such for some of the easy badge gear. :/ Oh, I don't know if you've looked at the rewards from the Argent Tournament, but you may also find some pieces there to your liking (though I would imagine that vanity pets and such would come first ;) ). Ooh, I remembered that another excellent hunter piece from Naxx is BoE, the torn web wrappings. That'd be an amazing upgrade for you, if it drops into your price range. (Like the aforementioned bracers, this depends heavily on how fast your server gets into Uld gear.) You also might consider these boots as well. :) And if you don't mind throwing around ridiculous amounts of gold, the agility greatness trinket is still pretty fantastic. Short of that, the chain in Icecrown that yields this trinket is pretty short. (It's in the southeast corner of Icecrown.) Hope this helps!

I have to agree with the gun statement. I have the Envoy of Mortality…it may be an awesome weapon, but it’s a gun. I can’t wait for an Ulduar upgraded bow.

Runeblade would be a good option for you, but I also agree with the duel wielding Fang of Truth. Good hit rating, and room for a couple of enchants. Plus it only needs honored rep (I believe) so it’s easy to acquire.

If you are looking for a nice trinket you should consider the Anvil from Wintergrasp, it’s only 25 marks of Wintergrasp, and you don’t have to group up, all you have to do is tag 3 enemies and you should be counted as contributing to the victory of WG, which is 3 easy marks or 1 if your side loses. so even at 1 per day you could have an epic proc on hit trinket within 25 days :)

Also if I was horde and on your server I’d help you get you all the gear you wanted. Thanks for all the great blogging and great pet info. Happy hunting.

PS. the Runeblade is actually better than one of the staves that drops in Naxx and it just has great style to it.

Hmm… you don’t PvP, do you? I don’t know if you have the PvP mounts, but since you seem to be a collector, it would be worth your while to do some BG’s for some PvP mounts, as well as Wintergrasp for their awesome War Mammoth. Plus, the honor you pick up could be used for a piece or two of the level 80 blue PvP set. Just a suggestion!

“It’s times like this I think Blizzard should make a Woodcrafting profession that specializes in making Staves, a few polearms, and Bows.”
@Rikaku: I have been stuck on professions forever. I would do backflips for Woodcrafting! This would be a WONDERFUL thing to implement in an upcoming expansion. You should go somewhere with this! :D
