The Daily Quest: Good idea, bad idea

WoW Insider's on a Daily Quest to bring you interesting, informative, and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.
Man, I miss Animaniacs. Actually, all of the Warner Bros. cartoons from that time period were great. They were smart, and they were funny. I remember many fond moments when my mother would crack up while watching the show with us, not explaining whatever was so funny and telling us we would "get it when we were older." It's amazing how much stuff they managed to slip in there for the grown-ups.
Today we've got a collection of posts from around the blogosphere highlighting good ideas for new players, good ideas for experienced players, and some good old-fashioned critical thinking.
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.

- Life in Group 5 has a wonderful post with things to keep in mind for new or experienced resto shaman -- and everyone else in between, too!
- Mana Obscura shares some thoughts in defense of keeping the tank/healer/DPS trifecta alive.
- Restokin spotlights a good idea for those with cluttered bags and banks -- the Adibags addon.
- Orcish Army Knife has come up with a fun idea for bored guildies or friends: The Naked Dungeon Challenge!

So I have to ask, no WoW insider podcast this week?
Anne Stickney Sep 7th 2011 5:31PM
Uh, I have no idea. Why don't you email in and ask one of the people on the podcast crew?

Good Idea / Bad Idea was like a better version of Goofus and Gallant... always funny. I miss good cartoons after school and on Saturday mornings... but on the plus side, it seems that the cartoon writers have grown along with us, and now we get to watch stuff like The Simpsons, Futurama, American Dad, etc.

I like the Naked Dungeon Challenge. It's reminiscent of the Ironman challenge* showcased in an edition of The Classifieds, but with some extra rules that kind of make it funnier.

Not to be confused with the OTHER Ironman Challenge:

Good Idea: Feeding stray kittens in the park.
Bad Idea: Feeding stray kittens in the park... to a bear.
THE END!

Naked Dungeon Challenge sort of reminds me of "dungeon-only" runs in Diablo.
You would start a character, and that character would never return to town. For the entire lifetime of that character, you would only use what dropped, never return to town to repair anything, and gold was worthless. If something broke, you had to use something else, or find something else. You could only use potions you found, as you couldn't return to buy potions.
Of course, this was for the character permanently, not just a single run, so it would be much, much harder to do this in game.

That video left out the BEST one!
Good Idea: Buying a pair of shoes on sale.
Bad Idea: Buying a parachute on sale.

Animaniacs: Still relevant.

@Drakkenfyre Okay THAT was utterly amazing

This article name reminds me of the current controversy over the nerf applied to the acquisition rate for Smouldering Essences.

Trying to get some guildies together to do the Naked Dungeon Challenge. We're going to see if we can put two groups together, but if not, one group of us are going to have a ton of fun.

How many times do you enter a dungeon asking "share quests plz?" I wrote up a handy checklist of where to find all of the dungeon quests while leveling.

Hey Anne, I was wondering if you could put wowlookbook.blogspot.com on the resources page, it's a user submitted RP gear site started a little over a month ago, take a look! Thanks!
