Farming Chilled Meat and Borean Leather in Northrend
We've already posted about just how useful Chilled Meats are -- they're a staple of the cooking dailies, so chefs and anyone else trying to earn Dalaran cooking awards are after plenty of them. And reader ScytheNoire sent us a good tip on how to pick up not only a ton of Chilled Meats, but stock up on Borean Leather if you're a skinner, too: lowering the Reef Bull population on Scalawag Point, just off the coast of Howling Fjord. Because those guys are needed for the daily quest, the respawn rate is great on them, and within a half hour, says ScytheNoire, he picked up a couple stacks of Chilled Meat and the same of Borean Leather (with a few Arctic Furs in there as well). Just stay away from the folks trying to do their dailies and you can rack up a nice bunch of animal products.As many players will tell you, Sholazar Basin is another great place to get both Chilled Meat and Leather, given that most of the zone is beasts (thanks to the Nesingwary quests around there). I've found that the best place over there is the Hardknuckle Foragers and Chargers near the Frenzyheart Tribe's camp -- the Foragers are neutral and go down fast, and will give Chilled Meat and Leather at a high rate, close to one per kill each.For leather, obviously the Jormungar Cave in Storm Peaks is another good place to pick up skins, not only from the worms, which will also give you scales, but from the worgs they kill as well. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found any mobs that will consistently drop more than one leather (the Black Morass was such a goldmine for Knothide), so it's slow going no matter where you are, but there are a few good spots to hit up if, like me, you're getting Leatherworking and Cooking up to speed.
One Shots: The smoke clears
The thunderous rumble of footsteps fade; an echo in the hills. The battles this land has seen have been numerous and hard-won, as the bones in the foreground lay as a silent testimony to friends and enemies who did not escape the fray. Today's dark and foreboding Warhammer Online screenshot comes to us from Massively regular contributor, ScytheNoire, showing the strong walls of a keep, standing silently in a blighted, ravaged landscape. If this land could talk, the battle tales it would tell!Are you fond of battle? Why not show us your favorite battle scenes - or ravaged landscapes? One Shots relies on reader contributions, so we need to hear from you!

We'll post it out here for everyone to check out and give you the credit for showing it off. %Gallery-9798%
One Shots: Twas a dark and stormy night
A dark and stormy night, just perfect for causing chaos and destruction in Warhammer Online! Today's One Shots shows off this sinister vista sent in to us from Massively regular ScytheNoire, who snapped this picture while playing Warhammer Online. Sadly, we have no description that was sent along to go along with this one, so we'll simply allow the picture to speak for itself and let you figure out a good story to set against this eerie backdrop.One Shots needs more screenshots from our readers, so if you're playing an MMO, gather up some screens and send those to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name and a description.

One Shots: Frozen wastes
As the winter moves across the land, we brace for colder weather. Of course, we think one of the best things to do when the weather is freezing is to relax at home with your favorite MMO and play with friends. Even if the weather there is freezing cold, you'll never feel it! Today's One Shots is one such frozen vista, in honor of the chilly weather, showing a snowy pass in Warhammer Online, sent in by ScytheNoire. He let us know that this is the entrance to Jaggedspine Ridge camp for Chaos in High Pass. Chilly!Have you seen an interesting bit of landscape on your in-game travels? If so, grab a screenshot of it and send it in to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the game, and a quick description. We'll post it up here for everyone to enjoy and give you the credit. %Gallery-9798%
One Shots: Pig in the city
We suspect this aurora portal above the Inevitable City in Warhammer Online has a mysterious power. With the swirling forces of chaos within, ripping at the very fabric of reality itself, it calls out... compelling players to come to it and snap screenshots! Today's One Shots comes from site regular ScytheNoire, who places our point of view on the business end of his War Boar as his Greenskin sits on the back, waiting to spring into action and make someone else into bacon. Is there one particularly cool or gorgeous spot in your favorite MMO that draws people to it by the droves? If so, you should snag a screenshot of your character there and send it in to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com, postcard-style! Tell us a bit about the area, and perhaps what you did in game that day. We'll post your travel postcard for everyone to enjoy.%Gallery-9798%
One Shots: Distracting your opponents
It's perhaps a slightly underhanded tactic, but if it works, why not? Today's Warhammer Online One Shots comes to us from ScytheNoire who unleashed a small flood of Warhammer Online shots on us. Sadly he didn't give us a note to go along with this image. Of course we think it fairly well speaks for itself - if you want to get the attention of the opposing force and flummox them, why not head into battle wearing only the barest slip of armor and see what happens. It certainly got our attention!If you've snagged a screenshot of a massing army, a central city, or a battle, we want to see those screens! All games are welcome, from the large-name titles to indie games. Just email them to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name and a quick description. We'll post it for everyone to ogle.%Gallery-9798%
One Shots: Feeling teeny
It doesn't matter how you slice it -- even if the big bad guy is on your side, standing next to him can sometimes still make you feel really tiny. Not sure what we mean when making that statement coupled with the above fiery screenshot from Warhammer Online? Well, if you look very, very closely (or check out the full-size image) you can see ScytheNoire's wee teeny orc standing between the hooves of this enormous Bloodletter. As ScytheNoire noted, [This is the] Bloodletter of Khorne with my Black Orc. I feel small and insignificant. We'd probably feel the same, except we'd probably be more concerned with that whole "on fire" thing first. Ouch!Have you snapped any fun shots of your character up against (or hanging out with) a particularly big, nasty monster? Slaying or praying, we want to see those screenshots! Just send them in to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name and a quick description. We'll post them out here for everyone to check out and marvel at your daring -- or impending death. %Gallery-9798%
