Around Azeroth: Spinning in infinity
In Azeroth, players and mobs are reborn so many times that they have to eventually long for the final peace of the grave. Varsivius of <Warborne> on Moonglade-EU has discovered at least one way to put dead mobs to rest -- performing the "Blowing Hodir's Horn" daily and sending their souls to Valhalla.
Pop personality quiz, hotshots. If you looked at this picture and were reminded of how much of a pain in the butt grinding Hodir rep was, you have a normally-functioning mind. If you did not really look at the picture because you were giggling at the phrase "blowing Hodir's horn", you have a dirty mind. And if you were compelled to switch to a shotgun and fire a couple of blasts at the giants while they're being Lifted, you have a mind that has played too much Mass Effect.
Do you have any unusual, clever, or interesting World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see them on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word "Azeroth" in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, double-mounts, or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran.

Blowing Hodir's Horn . . . Polishing the Helm . . . Thrusting Hodir's Spear . . .
Gosh, I can't imagine why anyone would think with a dirty mind while grinding rep with these guys.
Yeng Mar 31st 2009 10:30AM
Yeah, its not us that have the dirty minds, its those darn dirty Blizz devs! ;)

Don't forget helping out the big guy who is yearning to slurp down some nice thick worms.

Didn't GU comics make that joke already?

Hah. Dailies. I spent 3-4k on the Relics and powerlevelled my Hodir rep in a few hours.

I've got to say, how counter-productive! I made around 3k grinding my rep and doing my dailies every day with them, didn't spend a penny :P
Yeng Mar 31st 2009 10:31AM
I unfortunately donned my latex gloves each day and set to work pleasuring Hodir each day. Now I'm exalted and can't look at myself in the mirror :~(
Macbook Mar 31st 2009 10:32AM
Well - IMO.
I can make money faster than questing by playing the AH and doing my other stuff, so spending 2 weeks to make 3k, rather than simply spend 3k and get it done in a night, I probably made more money in the long run.
Maybe :P

I've grinded this rep on two different servers and this zone is one of the worst when it comes latency. Everyone I know complains about going there.

I pray for the day that this column will get an end...
Yeng Mar 31st 2009 10:32AM
Maybe you should just see the title 'Around Azeroth' and just not bother reading it? It would be the same result for you.
Agony Mar 31st 2009 11:16AM
@Yeng - yes, but that would make sense and then he wouldn't be able to QQ and demand attention.

They are quickies. I can efficiently polish the helm and thrust in the same area, then move onto to blowing ther horn. Quick grinding for money.
wait wut?
Lilcheeks Mar 31st 2009 10:49AM
That was no grind! I hit exalted a long time ago and still do those dailies. Probably because of the herbs around there, but still...
Jamesisgreat Mar 31st 2009 10:53AM
Yeah I found it easy as well. Though knowing about Everfrost hand ins really helped - I'm convinced that the majority of my server still don't know that stuff exists!
Mure Mar 31st 2009 11:15AM
wouldn't mind seeing lift in wow best ability ever
Spyker Mar 31st 2009 11:59AM
Spinning in infinity, eh? Well, I say amen and hallelujah.
Rissole Mar 31st 2009 2:11PM
Hey Spyker, if you'll be my bodyguard, I will be your long-lost pal.
SaintStryfe Mar 31st 2009 12:01PM
I ground up to Revered before I found I was sick of doing them, so I dropped the coin to just sell the stupid relics. I've made back most of the money just selling the Relics I get for every-day grinding in the area.
