171 – The Instance: The Flavor Of The Day Is Dill

It’s The Lich King! Run! Run Away!
The “Fall Of The Lich King” patch 3.3 to World Of Warcraft went live this week, bringing nothing resembling a fall of Arthas to the game – yet – but really shook up several aspects of the game, and gave players all over the World (of Warcraft) a lot to do during the holidays and beyond.

Pure, Tasty, Well-cooked Scuttlebutt
Blizzard launched their Holiday Dessert Contest this week, offering up a collection of Warcraft books to the ten best creators of kitchen confections with Warcraft or Diablo or Starcraft themes. ====Much Ado About The New Hunter Ammo On the last episode of The Instance, we talked about how engineers would be racing to create the hot new toy for this years Christmas…, I mean… for all the raiding hunter girls and boys to load their bows and guns with. The new Icecrown Citadel faction quartermaster is selling engineering plans for the highest DPS ammo in the game, and the cost is the equivalent of 23 of the new emblems of frost. Sound easy? Well guess what? You can only buy one of them.====

I’ve been doing quests I missed in Northrend and I’ve come acorss the need to find Orgrim’s hammer for dailies. My problem with that is it’s constantly on the move. Is there an easy way to find it and if not is there a mod that might help me?
