What's New
from the Giddy Gamer?
Concise, reliable, PRINTABLE fingertip facts for your favourite games! Fact sheets online today: 387 !! 2009/09/16 Congratulations and thanks to our One Millionth Visitor (along with everyone else!) who came by the Giddy Gamer site this afternoon. 2009/08/17 Apologies to all our loyal fans and visitors for the long lapse in our attention to the site. The sudden illness and death of my wife of 30 years this spring has changed my life and priorities just a bit. In addition, it is clear that Blizzards' constant change-for-change's-sake attitude in patches since the WotLK release has made it next to impossible to manage a report server like this - every patch brings a hundred miniscule (or massive) changes that make life miserable for us all. We're still deciding what direction to take with the site ... GG 2008/11/10 The new Guide to Northrend, is now in print! Over 70 pages of information on professions, quests, new factions, and an introduction to the new Death Knight character class. Full-page maps for each zone, annotated with Flight Paths, trainers, vendors, and quests, as well as locators for many of the elusive NPCs and quest targets. 2008/11/07 Added Death Knight Trainers and Death Knight Quests for the new Wrath of the Lich King character class. 2008/11/03 We've posted an annotated Map of Northrend to show Northrend zone levels, Instances and Raids. We have also been busy building reference sheets for several new Northrend Factions, including Knights of the Ebon Hand, The Argent Crusade, The Sons of Hodir, The Oracles, and Frenzyheart Tribe. 2008/10/17 Added the new Kirin Tor faction quests and Reputation Vendors for Wrath of the Lich King. Quests are mostly daily quests for Cooking and Jewelcrafting recipes. 2008/10/10 We're now shipping our new Inscription Guide, in anticipation of Patch 3.0 as early as next week. The guide covers inscription and milling, glyphs, the new Vellums used for Enchantment Scrolls, and a level 1-375 Levelling Guide. 2008/10/05 Wrath of the Lich King (in fact, Burning Crusade Patch 3.0) will include the new Inscription Profession. We've extracted the Milling table to show how herbalism fits into the new profession. 2008/09/19 Wrath of the Lich King Faction Quartermasters have begun to appear, offering new Mounts and other goodies. We've started with the Wyrmrest Accord Reputation quest and Vendor rewards lists. 2008/09/12 Added WotLK draft data for the Deathknight mounts and Cold Weather Flying (will permit the use of your flying mounts in Northrend after Level 77) to Mounts 2008/09/09 Some elements of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion will be included in patches prior to the actual release, including the new profession, Inscription. We've found a few of the key players on the beta and test realms, and listed them in Inscription Trainers - keep an eye out for them in the next patches! 2008/08/21 The World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King beta is well underway. We're starting updates as solid information becomes available, although this is tricky with some zones, levels, and trainers not yet implemented. Check out the revised Zone List, Principal World Factions, and Gem Properties for starters. 2008/07/15 The World of Warcraft patch 2.4.3 is out. Mounts are now available at level 30, which changes the Warlock Mount and Paladin Mount guides. There are some new pets available, such as the Nether Ray Fry from the Skyguard Quartermaster. The Sporeggar Quartermaster has a new pet, and a 28-slot herb bag recipe for tailors. 2008/06/24 The World of Warcraft Arena Season 4 Gear was finally added during maintenance today - without a patch (!?). Vendors may be found at the BEM and Nagrand arenas, and at Area 52 and Gadgetzan. Prices of Season 3 gear have fallen. Season 2 gear is now acquired, for Honor rather than Arena Tokens, at Champion's Hall (Alliance) or Hall of Legends (Horde). Season 1 gear is no more. 2008/05/11 World of Warcraft Arena Season 4 Gear is now in the test realms, and soon to be released. 2008/03/25 WoW (or, is it "Woe"?) patch 2.4 is here, with a new Faction, the Shattered Sun Offensive, a new 5-man instance, the Magister's Terrace (MgT), and a new 25-player Raid instance, Sunwell Plateau (SP). There are also a bajillion other tweaks and twists to keep us all on our toes. Check for our many updates, including Professions, Factions and Guides. 2008/02/18 WoW patch 2.4 is also increasing the Tier 6 armor sets from 5 to 8 pieces.

There are so many sets now we've split our items into two pages: PvP and the Tier and Dungeon Armor Sets 2007/08/04 We've launched a new site for EVE Online! Some of us have finally torn ourselves away from WoW long enough (how long can you hold YOUR breath?) to give EVE a shot, and we discovered that the EVE Universe desperately needs us! 2007/06/29 A new Instance Key and Attunement Checklist will help keep track of which of your characters have which dungeon keys, and point you to the starting place for the keys you don't have. Covers Outland and most Old World dungeons.

Yay (for players) and boo (for our research trolls). 2007/05/22 The "Black Temple" patch 2.1 was released today, and about 30 pages of patch notes are bound to change most of the pages on our site (woot!):(not!). Of special interest are the new faction content, with extended Netherwing faction quests, with the ultimate prize, a Netherwing Drake mount, and two new factions, Sha'tari Skyguard faction quests and Vendors, also with a new mount, and the Ogri'la faction quests and Vendors. 2007/05/14 Added Tranquillien Reputation Quests and Vendors for the Blood Elf Faction in Ghostlands. 2007/05/09 Finally caught up the BC armor sets: added Dungeon Set 3 just in time for them to change everything with the upcoming 2.1 patch :( 2007/05/08 Eagerly awaited with the patch 2.1 release, the Tier 6 Armor Sets 2007/05/02 With the patch 2.1 now in public testing, we've added drafts of the new Netherwing faction quests, and new items with the Scale of the Sands vendor in Mount Hyjal.

There's been lots of interest in our Reputation Quest Lists, especially for Outland factions (see our Burning Crusade page), since reputation points are so rarely found on other sites (we don't mind)! Revisions today to Warlock Mount Quests include expanded discussion of the Dire Maul raid. 2007/01/24 Continuing to finalise our Burning Crusade documents and migrate copies to their rightful pages. New today is the Enchanting Kits list that documents all the glyphs, armor kits, insignias, arcana, and other objects that all players may add to their own equipment for permanent benefits.

We've now posted over 100 World of Warcraft Fingertip Facts reference sheets for free use by WoW gamers!

We've listed several of the main faction vendors and are working to fill out this section within the next 2 weeks 2006/09/13 New Engineering Specialisation reference.
