I find out that our state capital doesn’t have one but there 3 around us all approximately 75+ miles away. Off to Augusta, GA I go and not in the best of moods. A little break here to say after my drive I was irritable but the service was impeccable at the Augusta, GA Apple store and I had a new phone within minutes.

On to my next rant about our fair city. Looking at the stock market lately I read that precious metals are at an all time high and getting higher. My thoughts are why not buy some silver, gold and/or platinum in small amounts each week or month. Mind you when I say small amounts I am talking a ounce or 10 of silver and some grams of gold every month. You know like some silver maple leafs or assay carded gold. These metals have stood the test of time already so I think they would be good long term investments.

I know there are a multitude of places online to buy but I want instant gratification and I wish to avoid shipping charges. Posts I have read mentioned visiting pawn shops so off I went. After walking into my second one and having the people look at me like I am an idiot for asking if they sell gold or silver I give up. They said they buy precious metals they don’t sell it. Are they hoarding or something?

So if you know of a good place drop me a line.

This guide will show you in simple terms how to stat your items. No mysterious formulas to learn just follow along and you will be able to improve your gear. This guide takes for granted you know what an Arcane Transmutor is along with how to access your backpack & the auction house AKA (AH). Curse Addons can make your time easier for locating items off the Auction House but it is not necessary.

Basic Rundown

This is followed below by the process in a detailed visual guide with comments.

1. Acquire 3 exact matching fusion stones.
2. Find the item you wish to stat.
3. Find 3 “trash” items you want to acquire the stat from.
4. Make 3 mana stones using 1 fusion stone & 1 “trash” item in your transmutor.
5. Take all 3 mana stones and the item you want to put the stats on into your transmutor.
6. Enjoy your new stat’d item

Important tips

• Always watch the tier of your products & gear.
• Fusion stones MUST be exactly the same.
• (OD) AKA Over durability +101 is better than below 100.
• The higher the durability the better.
• Clean gear does not have any stats, be wary.
• ALWAYS look at the preview box to see what your result will be prior to combining.
• Rune slots on your clean gear is always nice.

Visual Guide

Acquire 3 matching fusion stones. The stats on the fusion stones must be exactly the same i.e. Mist I on all 3 not one with Mist II. The order of stats does not matter.

Find your item that you want to use as the base for your stats. Remember clean means no green or yellow stats. Pick an item with the highest durability and the highest level you can use.The higher the durability the better, anything over 101 will work. Items go up to 124 durability to my knowledge. Rune slots are an added bonus so look for an item with one or more unused rune slots.

Now you just need 3 “trash” items to strip a stat from that you want on your clean item. Each “trash” item should have just one stat as in the examples pictured above.

As only 6 stats can be transferred to your clean item remember to pick different levels of a stat you want on your equipment. As an example if you are a rogue looking for dexterity and stamina for all 3 stats you would look for a Stormstrike X, Dexterity XI and Physique X on your 3 “trash” items. Two of the same stat would cause one to be canceled out.

You will be adding each stat to a mana stone by combining 1 fusion stone with 1 “trash” item in the Arcane Transmutor. You will wind up with 3 mana stones when you are done combining your 3 fusion stones to your 3 “trash” items.

Take your 3 mana stones and your clean item and put them into the Arcane Transmutor. You can view the end result before combining in the preview box. If the item is what you want hit combine. You now know how to stat your items. Go ahead and upgrade everything it sure beats using the regular gear.

I appreciate any comments. updates or information you can provide to improve and update this guide.

If you read this far something on this list has to have meaning to you or either your bored. Personally I could care less as this post was an act of boredom, but you should really sit and write your own thoughts down sometime. I actually got really really bored after I ran out of ramblings, kinda clears your mind.

You might be amazed at what shows up on paper and does it really hurt to put the thoughts in print? What’s the worst that can happen? Will some reader from 6,000 miles away make a negative comment? Come on put your mind on paper(digitally as is this case). Do you really give a rats ass what someone thinks of your thoughts, they are your thoughts. I just realized I wasn’t bored anymore after I began the “You might be amazed” paragraph above and went on another rant. Ah now I am bored again.

The vast majority of readers couldn’t care less about throwing a donation to the author. However, there will always be those individuals who find your information interesting or helpful. Make it easy for them to send enough change for a cup of coffee or other beverage your way.

Simplicity is best and the Free PayPal Donations plugin for WordPress is just that, simple. Brought to you by Johan of WP Storm this plugin adds a PayPal donation sidebar widget and shortcode to WordPress. The options menu lets you setup your PayPal ID and a few other optional settings.

It comes with standard donation buttons or you can use your own button. You can also set an optional default purpose and reference which can be overridden on each inserted instance with the widget and shortcode options. There are also settings for currency, custom payment page style and the return page. This donation plugin generates valid XHTML code making it a tool you really need in your arsenal.

Johan the plugin author also does something found rarely nowadays, he communicates with his users. If you have any problems let him know. I found him to be very helpful above & beyond what I could have expected after an issue with a bit of CSS.

Enjoy the plugin and don’t forget throw a bit of spare change to those bloggers who amuse, frighten or otherwise entertain you.
