The Daily Quest: Common threads

WoW Insider's on a Daily Quest to bring you interesting, informative, and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.
Anyone remember the mana loom? In the beta for The Burning Crusade, this item was missing, nowhere to be found -- which frustrated the heck out of tailors because they couldn't make bolts of Imbued Netherweave cloth without the silly thing. Much as blacksmiths and engineers needed an anvil, the mana loom was supposed to be one of those "you must be standing in this spot" tools needed for tailoring. As of Wrath of the Lich King's launch, the requirement was removed, and now the looms sit unused, sparkling and gathering dust.
Today, we've got a few entirely unrelated posts from around the blogosphere, but I'm going to try to weave together a coherent thread with them anyway ... mana loom not required.
Is there a story out there we ought to link or a blog we should be following? Just leave us a comment, and you may see it here tomorrow! Be sure to check out our WoW Resources Guide for more WoW-related sites.

- Gray Matter happens upon a curious question: Is the Firelands raid too easy?
- Syrco Owl stumbled across a difficult-to-find spot in Tirisfal Glades with a bizarre event. You can also hear more about said bizarre event on the latest Warcraft Less Traveled.
- Speaking of difficult, Surviving WoW with Quori talks about what to do when guild members are being difficult.

I have 2 things to say here:
1. Gray Matter's blog is one of the best blogs out there, period. His writing is usually impeccable, thoughtful, and interesting. Occasionally his blog will be a bit dry, that is usually in the case of loot recommendations which is generally lists of the best gear for moonkin - and you can't really spruce that up too much. Always worth checking in on Graylo and friends.
2. Mana looms were awful. I used to like the little mini-buff you would get from using your tailoring cd's in WotLK though, back when wrath era epic cloth making had cooldowns.

I couldn't agree more. Gray Matter is a fantastic site. The information there has made me a better balance druid, without a doubt.

What about the Lexicon of Power?
Introduced in wrath...
Didn't even make it to Ulduar!

Cool! Going to visit that zone as soon as the realms come back up.
