What tools do you use?

Hi! I am looking for tools to do modding. Anything that can be useful, really. Also, I looked at the TW item-creator. It would be SO nice if someone who can fix things would have a look at that. I scrolled through the list of item-icons, then it got stuck. Also, it would be nice if you could type in...

Re: Pearlhunt in Blackfathom Deeps (WoW-story)

Epilogue: "May the Eternal Sun shine upon thee." This sentence kept turning around in my Mind. I had come to know so much, but much of it was still unclear. I approached an Elder and explained what I had heard and that I was worried about what was going to happen. The Elder spoke: " ...

Re: Pearlhunt in Blackfathom Deeps (WoW-story)

It was the end of the morning when I reached Thunder Bluff, the Tauren Capital. The tall Lift had taken me all the way up and I was finally there. Now to find Dawnstrider! I remembered, him telling about his clan, the clan of the Enchanters, so I went to look for their shop. When I found him there,...

The day was drawing to a close by the time I reached the Crossroads. The Crossroads! So many adventures started at the Crossroads. This time, however, it seemed to be at the end of an adventure.

So, I set out, to go back to the village. Since Wilani was not expected to return there for a while, it was up to me to inform the Elders of what we had found. I wondered what their reaction would be. We Trolls were not so many and we would certainly not send any substantial armed force to an obscu...

Thanks for the nice present, Xantros.
You have outdone yourself with the statue! It really looks so old and weathered.
I look forward to your upcoming work. You keep getting better all the time.

P.s. I also like the fire in the braziers a lot. Very magic-y looking!

I looked up and while the Drums were going on in my head, I saw how a big Tauren was talking urgently to a shaky Undead. What was...
