Bitter and Salty – Episode 115 – Personal Dirty Swirly
In the one hundred and fifteenth World of Warcraft podcast episode, patch 7 dot 1 dot 5 is released with its sole purpose of crushing addons, rotations, macros, hopes, and dreams, we question the legitimacy of the “Salty” title as the Booty Bay Fishing Extravaganza returns in the latest patch, we determine what quests, addons, and other activities make you feel dirty in WoW, we burn our seals in heroic Emerald Nightmare to avoid tainted loot, but fall victim to the swirly boss, we realize that that it’s okay to trade Blood of Sargeras for Order Hall Resources instead of for materials to sell for gold… as long as you use those resources to run missions that reward you with gold, and we avoid farming old dungeons and faction reputations for our gold-making challenge.
Bitter and Salty is brought to you by Molsan and Sláinte.
The 7.1.5 Update
Crushed addons/macros… Didn’t want to play at all
Questions from the Community
Salty title is further cheapened
“OH changes made to Booty Bay s=fishing tourny makes winning very cheap and effortless now, how does he FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL about the cheapening of that requirement and further cheapening of Salty title?
from ANONYMOOSE”

Molsan
Transmuting… Essence of Earth to Essence of Water… Use EoW to craft Tome of Illusions: Azeroth
Oh, but my xmute Shaman doesn’t have the recipe
Because he’s not friendly with Timbermaw
Oh and I haven’t played him since MoP
So here we go
Bought first EoE for 16 silver… xmuted into an EoW… market price at the time for EoW is 240g… Can do this once a day with chance to proc multiples

Bitter and Salty – Episode 113 – Doughnut Finder Disguise
In the one hundred and thirteenth World of Warcraft podcast episode, we go back in time and run timewalking dungeons and fish up all the achievements in Draenor, Molsan is permanently banished to Helheim on his Holy Priest, while Sláinte is forced to run heroic Emerald Nightmare instead of Trial of Valor, we open our Bloated Threshers to loot Darkmoon Daggermaw and sell them for crazy amounts of gold, we venture out to Suramar with a full quest log, but without a disguise, we stumble on the World Quest Group Finder addon and can’t believe we’ve been playing without it, we run battlegrounds to boost artifact power, and run old raids to collect missing appearances, and we discuss the rules for our new gold-making challenge.

Holy Ding 110
Dinged in Helheim so was banished/stuck
The 810 dilemma… Raise professions to craft your own gear, but need dungeons… or buy 810+ so you can run heroics for profession quests
External resources say that crafters are “giving away” 810+ gear (like Imbued Silkweave)… Min buyout is 2500g so not really
Heroic Emerald Nightmare vs. Trial of Valor
Salty gets salty
Timewarping Weekly Five
Died in every dungeon
Party was nice enough to give me agility gear to get me over 810
AIE Monk’s name was offensive

Dark Moon FairE Fishing
Dat Dough Nut
Bloated Threshers OMG… Contain 5-10 Darkmoon Daggermaw when opened
World Questing in Failamar
You don’t have the portal?
You don’t have the disguise?
Shouldn’t you always try and help the weakest link get better, or do you toss them aside?
Returned for the masquerade deal… just winking a lot
Non-stop either “Something’s Not Quite Right…” or “Your Quest Log is Full”
AddOns: World Quest Group Finder
Best AddOn of all time?
Automatically asks if you want to find a group for the WQ
Join group, finish quest, let’s the party know you’re done, then it drops you from the group

Legendary Cloak
Off Nithogg… when you least expect it to happen… it happens
Bonus rolled an 860 helm too… why not

Bitter and Salty – Episode 112 – Bush Chicken Bounty
In the one hundred and twelfth World of Warcraft podcast episode, world quest bosses drop legendary and hidden artifact weapons as long as you remember to loot them, Molsan falls in love with the Holy Priest, and running Skyreach over and over isn’t enough to break him, Sláinte’s headset and computer melts down mid-raid, and he decides to go wireless for the first time, we discuss how to properly level Cooking by avoiding your Garrison and participating in Pilgrim’s Bounty, we explain how Fishing is not painful, but relaxing, especially when using a laptop while watching TV, and we break down shoulder enchants, making gold with fishing lures, and we help copy weak aura strings into your game.

Why it’s not
It’s relaxing… low stress
Seriously crazy amounts of gold

How do you AFK fish while doing something else (watching TV, working, etc.)
Shoulder Enchant
Which one do you use?
Email from Eelor
Greetings Molsan and Salty,
Thought I would take the time to write you an email after hearing how you don’t get to many of them. I can only imagine how much work goes into producing your show on a regular basis and I want you to know it’s much appreciated. I thoroughly enjoy the format, the loosely scripted back and forth that harkens back to some of the old radio shows before TV. Listening to you guys kind of makes me think of Felix Unger and Oscar Madison hiring a goblin kodo caravan to take them from Crossroads to Ratchet. ( I’ll leave it to you guys to decide who is who) 😉
Between Molsan, who lifts up the hood of the game and dives down the rabbit holes of WoW’s unique characteristics, and Salty, the classic raider who takes the simplistic view and just has fun getting shinies, you guys have nailed it. You struck on the formula that gets me immersed in your show and in-turn gets me immersed in the game through the show, which is exactly what I want in a podcast.
I work 70 hrs a week and game time is limited which wasn’t a problem until Legion. This expansion is just too much fun to walk away from. As a trucker, podcasts are the best way to pass the miles and it wasn’t until Legion that I thought of WoW podcasts to somehow bring the game with me on the road. I have tried a lot of them and I do have a few that I really like a lot but I have to let you know that Bitter and Salty is definitely... -

Customer Reviews
the perfect coffee break
I always look forward to hearing what these two friends have to say about their current adventures in Azeroth. Sharp wit, genuine curiosity and an "everyman" perspective make for an easy and enjoyable listen.
Best Blizzard/WoW podcast out there
Get to know them now before they're too famous!
Natty and Spaghetti
Still my favorite WoW podcast, so I was delighted when I saw you guys rebooted the show.
I have always liked that you guys talk about what interests you about the game and that you don't try to cover aspects of the game you're unfamiliar with. Love Slantie's blizzcon tips. Looking forward to more of Molsan's keys to success. I downloaded itunes just to five star the show.
