There are so many World of Warcraft instances and bosses for level 40 thru 50 that it is hard to know where to go for the best pieces. Here is a to-do list of all the major instances for these levels so that you can get the best gear without wasting a lot of time.

Uldaman

Uldaman has tons of bosses, but there are three that are must downs because they have the best gear. The Ancient Stone Keeper drops the Rockshard Pauldrons, which is good for hunters and shamans. Ironaya drops the Ironshod Bludgeon, which is top gear for feral druids. Last, but not least, Archaedas drops the Archaedic Stone, which is great for any class because it has a random enchantment.

Maraudon

Maraudon has eight bosses, total, but the best loot falls from one particular boss, Princess Theradras. The Blackstone Ring is great for any class that is melee or range spec such as druids, rouges, and warriors. Bracers of the Stone Princess is good for shamans and hunters because of its increase in attack power. Elemental Rockridge Leggings work for warriors and paladins because it increases your critical strike rating and has a lot of strength and stamina. The Eye of Theradras drops off the princess, as well, and it is a fantastic cloth piece because it has very high stats.

Zul’Farrak

Many regard Zul’Farrak with distaste, but some really good gear drops off of the boss named Shadowpriest Sezz’ziz. The Bad Mojo Mask will make any warlock drool and it is the best headpiece for casters at this level. The Diabolic Skiver is a pole arm that can be used by any melee class. It delivers 160-180 damage. The Jinxed Hoodoo Kilt and the Jinxed Hoodoo Skin is some of the best gear that a Moonkin or Restoration druid can hope to get. By targeting these bosses, you can get the gear you need in fewer instance runs; for the remainder of your gear, use the Idemise guide and just buy it off the auction house!

On November 7, 2008, Microsoft will release Gears of War 2 for the XBOX 360. Without a doubt this game has been one of the most talked about, and sure to be one of the most popular games, of this holiday season. Ever since the first Gears of War, this combat action shooter has been wildly anticipated. The action in the game is frenetic and the controls of the game are some of the best seen in action games such as this.

For those not initiated, the Gears of War franchise is a third person shooter by Epic Games, exclusively for Microsoft Studios. It is an exclusive Microsoft title and can only be played on XBOX 360. The first Gears of War was also released for the Windows operating system. To power the game’s considerable graphics and gameplay, it relies on a modified version of the Unreal 3 engine.

The game continues with the player as Marcus Felix as leader of COG Delta squad. Their operation is to stop the Locust Horde from continuing to take over the world. The storyline of Gears of War 2 continues with you using the vast array of weapons to kill the Locust Horde with the help from your COG squad. The favorite weapon has been the machine gun/chainsaw combo that allows you to shoot down and saw your opponent. A really cool new feature of Gears of War 2 is being able to use a downed opponent as a shield to keep yourself from getting shot as you continue to fire. Those that have seen previews of the game have enjoyed this new tactic available to the player. Killing the Locust Horde or your opponent has never been more thrilling.

Multi-player promises to be where Gears of War really shines. There have been a reported 15 new maps available for multi-playr action, which should help keep interest in the game until well into 2009. The multi-player option has numerous games that will keep players interested. It has been reported that there will be three different on-line multi-player modes. The player will also have the option for Co-op play with a friends or friends.

Gears of War2 is a game that a lot of fans of the original will be looking forward to. They have raised the bar on action and violence. If you liked the first Gears, then you will like the second, as the gameplay has improved across the board. No other game is more anticipated for the XBOX 360 than Gears of War 2 during this holiday season. For those that enjoy Gears of War action figures or Gears of War toys, new versions of those will also be released during the launch.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to actually LIVE in Alaska? When you’re trying to find Alaska Engineering jobs there, there are several things you should consider first. Let’s dive in!

First of all, let’s discuss the cost of living- it’s perceived to be very high and while it is substantially higher than in other places, it’s getting better, and is by no means out of control. A n evening movie is about $10, the same price as on the West Coast of the mainland, food is a little more expensive, with a loaf of bread being about 50 cents more on average than in the contiguous US, and gasoline is expensive as well- about a dollar more per gallon than elsewhere in the States. Housing is also disproportionately expensive, with a 1300 square foot home in Juneau (the state capital) going for about $260k, and with rent for a 2 bedroom apartment coming in at around a thousand dollars a month. Another major consideration you’ll want to take into mind is heating- an annual heating oil bill can run about two thousand dollars.

Just like many other places in the US that have high costs of living, salaries in Juneau are higher to compensate. In fact, many businesses and the Federal government (most notably the Postal Service) pay as much as a 25% salary stipend to help offset the high cost of living in Alaska. You might be able to get a stipend for working Anchorage Alaska Jobs as well, so make sure to ask the employer in the interview!

Even though the states transportation infrastructure is relatively scant, that doesn’t mean you won’t need a car, especially if you’re planning to live in Alaskas capital of Juneau. There aren’t a lot of roads into or out of Juneau, but the capital itself has a pretty good road network. There is also a very robust public transportation system in the form of a city bus network. Anchorage also has an excellent road system and public transportation system as well.

You may have heard that the state of Alaska actually pays its residents to live there and that is true- as long as you’ve lived in the state for at least 11 months, you will receive an annual government subsidy. There’s a huge general fund called the Alaska Permanent Fund whereby the state gives back money to its residents, based on the price of oil, the stock market, and other things. Since 1990, these checks have almost always been greater than 1,000 dollars. This is in addition to the fact that Alaska has no statewide income tax, and many cities don’t have any sales tax, either!

All of these things make working Anchorage Jobs a pretty attractive proposition!
