May 29, 2021May 29, 2021

Check out May’s Featured Gamer Art, a monthly column of art that I’ve found found in the past few weeks. Art can include paintings, drawings, digital art, physical crafts, cosplay and more.

Troll from WoW — “Revenge is an Act Of Passion”, picturing a troll from WoW

This month features (above) one of the coolest World of Warcraft art pieces I’ve shown here on Gamer Art and maybe one of the coolest I’ve seen anywhere. There’s also Spawn, Akuma from Street Fighter, HZD (seems to have great art often), another Triss Merigold Cosplay (See last months), a WoW piece and a Tim Burton inspired pokemon drawing. As always, click the picture to see it larger and click the text link to go to the source where I found the image.

In Search of Fortune: Quick Tips & Gold Update

May 17, 2021May 17, 2021

Welcome to ‘In Search of Fortune’, a monthly series where I discuss my gold goals and in-game money making strategies.

It’s been a lazy month in the gold making world for me. Missed a few days scanning and posting on the AH, no farming at all, barely any crafting and only a handful of callings completed. I’m just doing my AH flips and the covenant mission table – still up almost 400k in the last month.

Void & Ancient Shard Pulls

Gamer Art: April 2021

May 1, 2021May 4, 2021

Check out April’s Featured Gamer Art, a monthly column of art that I’ve found found in the past few weeks. Art can include paintings, drawings, digital art, physical crafts, cosplay and more.

Triss Merigold Cosplay (The Witcher) — Tris Merigold Cosplay (The Witcher)

Unlike last month where I ended up a little short on art, this month’s Gamer Art has had an abundance. I might need to start finding a way to filter this, make a theme each month, or something. Perhaps a way for people to submit their art as opposed to just what I find. Not sure, but look for some changes to this in the coming months, maybe.

This month has The Witcher, World of Warcraft, Destiny 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Monster Hunter, Nier Automata, Pokemon, God of War, League of Legends and Assassins Creed Valhalla.

Elyon Closed Beta Soon

April 14, 2021April 14, 2021

Kakao Games contacted me (through a mass mailing, but it sounds cooler to say it that way) and informed me that they are accepting applications for their closed beta for Elyon (formerly A:IR – Ascent Infinite Realm). You can apply at their website https://www.playkakaogames.com/. As of this writing, on the second slide there’s a button that looks like the picture above.

Once you sign up, it’ll ask you to log in or create your Kakao Games account, which you might have already if you’ve played some of their other games such as Black Desert Online. Then, there’s a short survey and it’ll tell you they’ll let you know. The beta test itself will be held from May 6th through May 10th. See below for full application and test schedule as well as a link to the Elyon beta FAQ.
