Bio
It sounds a trifle absurd but these tubby Moshlings are enchanted. Whenever they need to chill, glittery sparks zing around their slurpy swirls accompanied by jingly-jangly nursery rhymes. This happens quite a lot because Magical Sparklepops go all gloopy if it gets too hot. But what’s with the funny waddle? Well you try walking wearing a wafery tub!

Likes
Whackcurrant sauce and crushed nuts.

Dislikes
Too much sun and big tongues.

Habitat
Magical Sparklepops prefer chilly areas for obvious reasons. That’s why you’ll find them around Knickerbocker Nook in the Frozen Dessert Desert.

Combo
Pink Snap Apple + Pink Star Blossom + Black Love Berries

Cone 5 new clay… New feet.

Surreal. That is the word most appropriate to Haruki Murakami’s largely ineffable prose. His collection of twenty-four stories in Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman explore Murakami’s range in his fictional surreality.

While the individual stories range from normal meetings to haunting episodes to fantastic tales, Murakami’s writing keeps the reader turning pages. The dreamlike tone renders everything – from the mundane to the ridiculous – captivating. Even seemingly obvious questions that a novel would address seem to fade in relevance when submerged in one of these short stories.

Suspended reality doesn’t do justice to the respective plots and poetic prose misses the mark. Simple but not overly succinct, informative but not overbearing, infused with music and love and loss, aware of reality but engaged in a greater world, postmodern and contemporary, that is the magic of Haruki Murakami’s stories.

Stories were translated from the Japanese by Jay Rubin and Philip Gabriel.

my mum didn’t get me the fame monster… sad times. so no review today. new moon review tomorrow though.

yay!

im sooooo addicted to Ugly Betty now its unreal. I need to stop watching american tv before I run out… actually, I say before I run out, but im pretty much out of them now anywho…

so i got some good news earlier. Im getting my allowence doubled after christmas… so exited. the posibilites are endless! means i can shop MOREEEEE! and still use dads amazon account. yay. i hope thats part of my inheritence… dads amazon account. its not like anyone elses uses it more than me. IVE EARNED IT!

its kinda worrying me how close me and my dear, dear mother are at the moment. it seems like its been forever since we argued. we’re even planning to get out the ps1 and play through all the old tomb raiders together. im actually sooooo exited. but realy scared. we’re due an argument. and its been so long. their will probably be murder…

wow it reminds me of the daysss…. i remember when my mum got her first pc and i was like… i dont know… four., and I used to sit with my mum and play tomb raider. yeah, that probably makes her the worst parent of all time! but i disagree. i think it made me the person I am today, and it probably one of my clearest happy memories… and then tomb raider two was around the time my dad came out of hospital, so thats more happy memories.

Im glad my mum was such a bad parents. it technically, in my eyes, made her the best parent EVER! thanks mum! much appreciated!

I get so annoyed with political correctness and protecting children from the horrors that can be found in fairytales. who cares if the big bad wolf is terrifying, and who cares if its baa baa black sheep. does it make it any less offensive its its baa baa rainbow sheep? isnt that just plain in your face homaphobia? or maybe its encouraging kids to be gay?

kids arn’t stupid. they know whats right and whats wrong. if its so wrong to expose children to fairytales, then why on earth do we think its fine to expose them to the monster we call The Night Garden. now, im not being funny, but the things in that absolutely terrify me! id rather be locked in a room with a clown than in a room with them.

And tellytubbies. im sorry, but that was just plane WRONG! how DARE they allow names such as Tinky Winky (little penis) Dipsy (stupid blonde girl) lala (CRAZYYYYY BITCH) Po (Shit) on the screens. for fucks sake they didnt even speak english… hell, they didnt speak. period.

I dont think that me reading stories like Little Red Riding Hood or Enid Blyton’s The Magical Far Away Tree ever effected me. wait. no. take it back. bible bashers will blatently blame my exposure to these sins as the reason for my homosexuality. OH FORGIVE ME FATHER for being ME!

I don’t care. if they’re whats made me such a sin, then fine, I’m glad. I’m happy and proud to be the person I am, and I wouldnt want it any other way!

If anything I think its a sin that the people who are banning and changing these fairytales and other classics are the people who were never exposed to them in the first place. they seriously DON’T know what theyre missing. losers.

its not our fault they were born to competent parents. forgive us for our parents failiure. its not our fault they didnt know the demons hiding behind the pages of Fairytales and the words of Nursary Rhymes. they didnt know the poison Roald Dahl or Enid Blyton wrote.

shame on them!

Alexander Santiago was a difficult child. An energetic kid, he found it tough to stay still. He wanted to do a lot but could not because there was hardly anything creative for him to do.

So he yelled.

At his friends, at his school and at his mom.

His relationship with everyone including his family members worsened with every tantrum of his. Only 11, he was already showing signs of strong rebellion.

And then he got a camera.

His life changed.

He took his camera and went out in the streets. He took pictures – scores of them - and marvelled at his shots. He loved the colors of the photos and the way everyday life got captured for posterity. He did not want to be disruptive anymore. He had a tool for creation and he was loving it.

His camera took him to places he always had hoped to go – Managua ( the capital city , 50 km from Granada), the mall, San Juna del Sur ( a beach town) and the Isletas ( little volcanic islands in the lake Nicaragua).  

His camera brought cheer in his harassed mom’s heart. He had stopped yelling. He listened more and tried to help her at home. He stopped fighting with his classmates and attended school regularly.

For Empowerment International, he is one of the most dramatic success stories.

Alexander became a part of EI’s photography program in 2007 and has never looked back since.While in the program, he joined the photography teacher and the other students to several photography trips where he learned the importance of patience and focus. He has become empathetic, understanding and calm now.

He has learned how to take a good photo,  what are the different positions for a photo, how to use the different camera functions like zoom, long sort and how to take a close up short. He even knows how to critique a photo.

In his words, ‘Now I am better  behaved with my brothers and my mother. I help my mom by going to the market for her!’

His family, friends and EI staff are proud of him. But even more importantly, he is proud of himself.

Savory bowls set out on the table
Glisten with olive oil, steaming hot plates
Pre-feasting vision does not disable
Valuable glimpsing before it’s too late

Color sizzle smell all meant to entice
Cooking up a dinner fit for a guest
Quickly lift the lid when boiling brown rice
The process of cooking, always the best

I so wish I had an oven window
One switch on the door turns on inside light
For when I’m waiting to see rising dough
But still need the oven heat closed in tight

Peeking before it’s done, spoils the surprise
Of magical dinner before your eyes

Dr Xavier had spend years leading up to this moment. And now the amulet was his.
Legend had it that it would transform the wearer into a perfect physical specimen, as
well as provide immortality.

Placing it around his neck the changes were rapid – and extraordinary. The Dr had hoped
for a perfect masculine physique – rippling muscles and a six pack. But as the long
red hair tumbled down past his eyes he realised something was amiss. Two large
breasts jutted from his chest and he became aware of a void between his legs. This was
not how it was supposed to go.

But oddly, he found he didn’t mind. He felt amazing – and so alive. He’d never felt like
this before.

Images of men with rippling muscles and six packs still filled his mind though. And he
realised that was exactly what he needed, he felt so horny. And so he headed out to find
something to scratch that itch…

I get nauseous around this time of year because it’s this ’holiday season’ when a lot of judgement and coercion occurs around human tradition.  I have been scorned and labeled as a Scrooge because of my views towards Christmas.  But I base my views purely on what I read in the Bible, and this passage is a good example. 

We don’t have to celebrate anything that is manmade.  We particularly don’t have to celebrate a fictitious character whom we lie about to our children as the one who brings gifts and makes all of our wishes come true.  Isn’t that setting up Santa Claus as a quasi-god?  We call this time of year ‘magical.’  Isn’t magic condemned in the Bible?  Isn’t lying condemned?  I don’t get why we want to hang on to this or why we as Christians think that dabbling in this is okay.  We continue to allow our children to believe this at a young age, we rebuke those who tell them the truth, and if we don’t have children, we play along…as agents of support no less. 

I hate it all.  I hate that people spend their last dollar getting Christmas decorations and gifts because if they don’t, someone is going to judge them or think that they’re not doing something up to par.  I spoke with a guy a couple of weeks ago who had just gotten layed off.  His skill set was very specialized and many, many others in his field were getting layed off because the type of work he does is just cut back on during recessions.  He has little hope for getting a job in his field for a long time.  So, you would think that he’d start budgeting and stop spending to ride out the recession, right?  No, Christmas is around the corner and he, he said, is not going to cut back on Christmas!  He said it as if it might be a terrible sin!  I wonder about all those people last year around this time that got layed off (and are still out of a job) – if they’d have made a different decision about Christmas 2008 after having still been unemployed a year later?  Did they ’splurge’ on Christmas, too, thinking that it was a miraculous time of year and that they didn’t want their children to NOT believe in miracles? 

Ugh!  I want to scream!  A Christmas miracle?!  If anyone speaks that term to me I swear I’ll throw their Christmas tree at them.  I wonder what our Lord thinks of this.  I’m sure Satan is pleasantly pleased at his work.  He picked a holiday to warp our beliefs.  Beautiful.  It’s actually very smart.  I dare you to go find a Christian – or anyone in this country – who will condemn Christmas.  It’s heresy!  Oh, what a wonderful weave he has mastered, and we’ve all been surreptitiously fooled into believing that Christmas will bring us all that we’ve dreamed for, all that will care for us, all that we hope for, and will miraculously heal all woes of the world.  Hurray!  We can all be comforted because Christmas will unite us all! 

Whatever.

Enjoy a truthful word that might comfort you if you’ve been sucked into the guilt of buying a lot of Christmas presents or feel guilty because you can’t afford it this year.  There’s hope for you…hope without guilt!

Colossians 2

 ¹I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. ²My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, ³in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. ⁴I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments. ⁵For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how orderly you are and how firm your faith in Christ is.

 ⁶So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, ⁷rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

 ⁸See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.

 ⁹For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, ¹⁰and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. ¹¹In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature,^[a] not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, ¹²having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.

 ¹³When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature,^[b] God made you^[c] alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, ¹⁴having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. ¹⁵And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.^[d]

 ¹⁶Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. ¹⁷These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. ¹⁸Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions. ¹⁹He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.

 ²⁰Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: ²¹“Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? ²²These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. ²³Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

Matthew felt ridiculous. He could feel
the eyes of everyone boring into him
as he tottered down the road in these
impractical shoes, his massive breasts
jutting out of his skimpy dress. He’d
never felt more exposed and vulnerable
in his life.

But this was his punishment. He’d
flippantly told his girlfriend to stop
moaning when she complained about
having to wear skirts and heels.

And so he woke up in a bimbos body.
His girlfriend has told him he will have to
spend a week like this to get a real
feel for everything a woman has to go
through. And he isn’t liking it one little
bit.

Today she’s booked him in for a waxing,
he’s about to find out exactly what
a brazilian is…

It’s going to be a long week…

“I’m a woman, I can do everything I want!”

Women can get everything they wish for. Women have everything a guy can ever dream of, it’s just up to the guys to discover the way we want to be treated for giving something. Therefore, if they don’t have what they want from us, it’s their fault! They did not discover the magical way!

You, guys, should only follow the basic steps you were educated with: be respectful, some jokes are just inappropriate when being with a woman you are interested in; feel the passion of every single move, word, look, don’t repress it; offer her attention, it’s probably the most important thing a woman desires – women can interpret that attention in thousands of ways and it’s sure they will find the best way that fits to your feelings. You are evil with yourselves. You don’t actually want to do the mistakes you do, you want to be just as pure as women are, in all sorts of fields, but you are trying to seem as superficial as you can, being afraid of what you really are, because you have never been like you desire to be!! You, guys, don’t really know what that feels like and you are used to being like you are, you indulge in this situation, without analyzing it deeply. This is the real problem, I must say!

Women like crazily in love guys. They are so childish, they cannot hide that inside them anymore because it’s a feeling that beats them and makes them weak. Don’t get me wrong, women don’t like weak men! They don’t really like plasticine men, to do whatever they want with them. No! Women like men to seem weak because this weakness brings up the sincerity!

You, guys, have born perfect, but you have destroyed this feature by the wrong interpretation of women and you have changed, considering them something they are not! This is the problem that lead to this war between men and women! Trying to understand other people around you is a very good thing, but not considering some aspects and the wrong interpretation because you don’t want to give a go to something that might be true, this is bad!

take care-

(Also Comment By Rolye on Anthony Jacquins “Reality Is Plastic” book – The Manchurian Approach DVD’s” etc and how they are DANGEROUS as he personally DOES NOT KNOW THE LAW as evidenced by his ill informed postings on Uncommon forum and other internet sites..

Hi Guys & Girls,

Due to postings I’ve just discovered on the internet illustrating how many INCORRECTLY TRAINED – DANGEROUS & UNINSURED wannabe Street Hypnotists there are I urge you to send this email to every hypnosis and magical mentalism friend you have…

I’d strongly advise you all to READ EVERY WORD of the above postings and also EVERY COMMENT made about the postings and then decide for yourself….. but REMEMBER THIS…

01) Under 1952 Hypnotism Act you can face a £1,000 Fine…

02) Breaking the Hypnosis Conditions of Licensing Act 2003 could lead to a £10,000 fine and/or six months imprisonment for some involved and ultimately mega bad press and litigation agains the hypnotist….

 03) KEN WEBSTER has issued a statement (see posting above) confirming that my concerns are correct and that these ill trained UNI|NSURED and UNLICENSED wannabe hypnotists are both potentially dangerous whilst also being ILLEGAL….

04) NUmerous UK Councils have issued statements (see above links) confirming this to be correct and that THE UK STREET MAGIC HYPNOTIST’S are ILLEGAL – UNLICENSED AND UNINSURED…

I’d say that also makes them wholly UNETHICAL and IRRESPONSIBLE… But hey what do you expect when your sold a product (say Plastic Book or DVD) which does not cover UK LAWs….

And thats why my Special Xmas offer COVER’S ALL UK HYPNOSIS LAWS (and all loopholes) together with isurance details and such like… So to BE A LEGAL – HONEST AND SAFE ETHICAL HYPNOTIST Secure your Future now by visiting….

Oh boy, oh, boy, oh boy!!

Last night I hung out with pretty much one of the coolest people ever,  Jessica Knoop, who will be running the Kids’ Craft Corner in the lower level of the Moretown Town Hall for this year’s Artisans’ Sale! Man did we have fun. I couldn’t think of a better person for the job! If I were a kid, I’d want to hang out with Jessica all the time! And if I were a parent, I’d love to have Jessica as a teacher for my kids!!

We went through all the craft goodies that I have and came up with some very cool things for kids (and pseudo kids) to do while the grown-ups shop! Can you say Face Painting, for example?

We also conjured up some really creative ideas for tree ornaments. We both remembered/still have ornaments that we made as children. They have a very special value to them, even though they maybe had to get thrown away because the candy cane part of the reindeer was a bit “gooey” or the body of the snowman was stolen by a mouse for insulation… But the sentimental value of this crafts is so strong that we decided we needed to have something like this for kids to make so someday they can  look back and say “oh yeah! I remember making that! It was so fun!”

Plans for the decorating of the lower level were nailed down and if I have to give you a one word description of what the downstairs will look like, I’d choose: MAGICAL! I have all sorts of awesome ways to snazz up the place and make the Story hours and Santa’s visit even that much more exciting and wonderful!

Wait – did I say story hours? Santa’s coming too??

Oh yeah! We will have TWO story hours (12 -1 and 2-3) on Saturday and Santa will be there (noon-2) on Sunday! I am so giddy with excitement! I will be posting more detailed information about these things soon!

So what does all this cost, you ask?

IT’S FREE! We are asking for donations of either $3 or two non-perishable food items for the Food Bank! That’s it! So pack up the family, bring some donations and come down December 12 & 13 for the best holiday shopping event around!

Ho, ho, ho!

We are home from the land of all things magical. Exhaustion has settled in from all the fun, so you’ll have to wait on all the funny pictures. I got a magical cold while I was there that I’m still recovering from.

This was during our FIRST few minutes at Disney, waiting for a bus to take us to the Magic Kingdom:

And this was during our LAST few minutes at Disney. See the difference?

Much more to come later…

The next in my series of “Beginner’s Guides” for WAR:  Magical Salvaging.

This Gathering profession has had its ups and downs.  Currently, it tends to take a back seat to Scavenging simply due to the ease of that profession.  However, for those who are patient and dedicated, Magical Salvaging offers a wider variety of options as well as some much-sought-after fragments!

Enjoy!

~Gaar

Quick Explanation of Crafting in WAR

WAR has a two-stage crafting system.  The first stage is handled through a “gathering” profession and the second stage is the actual “crafting” profession.

Here’s the rundown:

Apothecary - Crafting Profession – Makes potions with various temporary effects.

• Butchering - Gathering Profession – Harvests monsters for items to use in making potions.
• Cultivation - Gathering Profession – Grows plants and fungi to use in making potions.

Talisman Making – Crafting Profession – Makes talismans that can be added to worn items to boost stats.

• Magical Salvaging – Gathering Profession – Deconstructs items for the parts to use in making talismans.
• Scavenging - Gathering Profession – Harvests players/NPCs for items to use in making talismans.

At the time this guide was created, all Gathering professions were viable for use in each of their respective Crafting professions.  However, each Crafting profession has its own pros and cons, as does each gathering profession.  It is best to understand those pros/cons before selecting your professions, however you are able to change both your Crafting and Gathering profession at any time (however at the loss of all progress).

Crafting Storage

Most of the items you will use in your crafting will be tradeable, thus can be stored not just in your own inventory, but also your Personal Bank Vault and your Guild Bank Vault.  The exception to this rule currently are the Hybrid Seeds that are looted in Tier 4.

You have two options now for storing them in your personal inventory though.  Crafting items will automatically (upon purchase/loot) go to your Crafting Item Inventory.  This is the third tab of your Backpack as shown in the picture below.

This special inventory space starts with only one bag, but you gain more bags by leveling your crafting professions.  You gain a new bag for each 100 points you earn in each profession, giving you a total of five bags when you’re done.

If you run out of space here, items will start to automatically go into your regular inventory.  Items can be moved back and forth between the two types of personal storage areas by right-clicking on them.

Finally, no discussion of Crafting Storage would be complete without mentioning the Mail System.  :p

All tradeable items can be sent back and forth between alts (alternate characters on your account) and friends, then left in your mailbox unopened for a good deal of time.  Proper mailbox use can extend your personal storage space for tradeable items infinitely.

Selecting your Crafting and Gathering Professions

As a new player, your first exposure to Crafting trainers comes in Chapter 2 of the WAR Story.  (The PvE towns in WAR are designated as Chapters and the PvE road moves you through these Chapters in sequential order.)  If you are on a Trial Account, this is the only place you can learn these professions.

Those players with subscriptions to WAR can also train in their Capital City (Altdorf or the Inevitible City).

It costs no money to train or re-train a Crafting profession.  You can change your profession at any time, however you will lose all progress you have made in that profession.

The Apothecary, Cultivator and Hedge Wizard (Talisman Making) trainers also are Merchants selling items for their respective craft.

Once you’ve made your choice, it’s time to level your profession(s).  For the sake of this guide, let’s assume you’ve made Salvaging your Gathering profession and Talisman Making your Crafting profession.

Salvaging Overview

Salvaging is the deconstruction of items (armor, weapons, jewelry) into ingredients for making Talismans.

Salvaging is another “pure” Gathering profession because there’s really just one step to it.  Take an item you have, click the Salvage icon, click the item, receive your ingredients.

Salvaging works well in both RvR and PvE, however at times it is much easier to farm PvE to obtain the items you want.  Unlike Scavenging, you won’t be flooded with items, however you have more of a choice in the items you get than the randomness of Scavenging.  Not to mention, you can Salvage every available stat with Salvaging whereas Scavenging only provides you with a small sub-set of them.

Salvaging also provides three of the four items required for Talisman Making, just as Scavenging does.  If you’re so inclined, you can sell off your extra Essences on the Auction House to supplement your income.

Must-Have Addons for Salvaging

There really is only one Addon you need to have for Salvaging:  Crafting Info Tooltip.

To be honest, it’s a must-have for all Crafting/Gathering professions.  It’s just that good.

Why?  Because it shows you the “hidden” crafting information for each item when you hover over them in your inventory.  This is invaluable information for all crafters, especially when you want to make very specific things and at maximum potency.  Understanding the information it provides is the key to being a great crafter.

Go to Curse.com and do a search for this Addon and download it.  I prefer to manually install all my Addons.  It’s not difficult.  However, if you’d rather not, you can use the Curse Client instead.  (I’m not a fan as it’s always had issues on Patch Day when the new versions of addons come out and the old ones don’t always work.)

Leveling Salvaging

Once you’ve trained Salvaging and have your Addon downloaded, it’s time to get started.

First off, go to your Abilities sheet, click on the General tab at the far right and then drag the Magical Salvaging icon to your toolbar.

Now you’re ready to start leveling.  Right off the bat, you have a choice to make.  You can choose to level only off items you loot, or you can choose to spend a little money up front to max out this first bit of skill using items from the Merchant.

I recommend the Merchant route at this stage.  Mainly because at this point it’s fairly inexpensive and very fast.  I’m going to walk you through it this way before discussing the loot-only path.

As a brand new Salvager, go to the Merchant and browse their Wares.  You’re looking for “Shattered Figurine”.  Once you find it, buy 19.  Yes, 19 exactly.  It will cost you 9 silver 50 copper up front, but you’ll be getting the bulk of this back in a moment, so don’t be afraid to spend it.

Once you have your 19 Shattered Figurines in your Crafting Inventory, click on the Magical Salvaging icon on your toolbar.  You cursor will become a miniature hammer.  Hover it over the stack of Shattered Figurines and left-click on it.  The item will deconstruct and you will either succeed or fail.  At this point though, it doesn’t really matter.  Your skill will go up regardless.  Continue doing this until the stack is completely gone and you will be at skill 20 which is the highest these items can take you.

Depending on your success rate, you will have anywhere from 2-4 Gold Dust and 15-17 Essences in your inventory.  Go ahead and sell those back to the Merchant.  The Essences command a high price so will earn you back the bulk of what you already spent.  Yay!

Now, buy 30 of the “Ruined Figurines”.  This will cost you a bit more, 37 silver 50 copper.  You will only be getting maybe 10 silver of this back.  Once you have them, go ahead and salvage them all and sell off the Gold Dust and Essences again.  You should now be at skill 50 for Salvaging.

While you could continue to bump it up slowly via the Merchant’s Ruined Figurines, at this point it’s far more economical to just level off looted items.  With your handy-dandy Addon, it’s easy to tell what’s going to be a good item to salvage to try to level with.  When you hover over the item in your inventory, it will give you a chance for success on the bottom of the tooltip.  A rating of “Difficult” is usually a guaranteed skill-up, if it succeeds.  Anything showing “Easy” is only going to give you a skill-up occasionally.  Anything marked “Trivial” will never give you a skill-up.

Note:  If you can afford to keep going with the Ruined Figurines, do it.  Until they become “Trivial”, you may as well milk them for what they’re worth and save the loot for the rest.

Second Note:  You can continue this method of “paying for leveling” indefinitely via the Auction House, however it will become very, very expensive.

For those of you who either don’t have the money or don’t want to spend it, leveling via the items you loot works in much the same manner, albeit much more slowly.

As you loot items that are green/blue/purple in rarity, go ahead and salvage them if you can’t use them.  (You cannot salvage white items, keep that in mind.)  Pay close attention to your tooltip to tell you your difficulty rating and chance of success.  You may want to save those purple items for when they’re guaranteed just so you can make a nice blue talisman for yourself.  :p

If you find that the items you’re looting are too difficult for you to salvage and/or you’re failing a lot, go back a Chapter and kill lower-level mobs/NPCs for a while and raise your salvaging until you can continue at the higher level.

As you can tell, this profession requires patience and dedication.  Leveling can be very, very slow when you’re doing it via loot which is how most do it.

Just like with Butchering and Scavenging, you will not hit skill 200 in Salvaging without entering Tier 4.  You will need to salvage the high-level loot to finish off your skill, so there’s no need to be in a hurry.
