Huntr spent about 2 hours in Desolace in the water last night checking traps, killing crabs, killing naga, and coming up for air. This would be so much easier as Forsaken. I managed to kill a 37 last night and a 38 this morning to complete two quests.
Joana’s Horde Leveling Guide has been a HUGE help in Desolace. It led me to every quest-giver, turn-in, and mob area for each quest flawlessly. It doesn’t get any more helpful than having your path drawn on a map, coordinates for the givers/turn-ins/areas, and outlines for where the mobs are located for collection/kill quests. If you need to, you have 3 helper options: you can click the quest name, and it sends you to one of the Big 3 database sites for that quest, you can watch his video of killing a specific boss/mob for a quest, or you can skip to that part of his video for that segment of playing (he recorded all 60 levels, sped 6-10x for the boring stuff).
My /played time is updated in my Journey to 70 page, but here it is anyway: 1d 19h 29m.
I’m a couple of steps away from hearthing back to Shadowprey Village to do a massive turn-in of 8 more completed quests. I am 2 clam meats away from being done with a quest that I forgot to wrap up before I came out of the water. They are way up the coast from the SV, so I think I’ll hearth back after playing Paladr after I gather the last of the meat.
I logged into Bankr to buy Huntr some new gear because it’s going to be a long time before he goes back to Orgrimmar or TB on a mission, and he’s carrying around some pretty dated gear. The profiles are all updated now, too.
8 turn-ins at once, that’s pretty sweet. The most I think I have ever done is 4-5.
I actually had 11, but have since turned in 3 🙂 It is a pretty tall quest window in my bottom right corner right now.
Two words for Underwater quests:
Underwater Breathing Potions.
Ok 3 words. Is not one of your toons an Alchy. If so I can farm up some stranglekelp and oily blackmouths for the half hour pots. Very nice they help alot with the farming of kelp. Ialso used them when i was farming for the Big Iron Fishin Pole on Gnome mindkiller. Took me 2 hours but i got 2 poles one for me one for the Auction house.
I am not to keen on desolace. I have only ever done the minimal amount of quests there just for a simple “give it a try” thing. I did the faction rep with the centuars that goes no where. Felt that place was a waste of time and have never takien any of my chars there since that first time. I guess im one of the wierd people that actualy enjoys STV. Mob density if perfect for exp gain and if you have a partner there isnt a quest out of reach till you get to the elites.
Desolace…..bad no likey.
Mind, I think that is a huge mistake to skip it. Here’s why: Most of the mobs are at or below my level, so especially with my pet, it’s excellent killing rate. Those 11 quests are about 30k of XP when I turn them in. I’ll almost surely ding when I get back to my hearth.
I would love some stranglekelp, but I need to see another trainer because I sent Huntr enough mats to level to 75, but he’s maxed out now. I’m way out of my zones for farming herbs, and that makes me sad.
I’d love a Big Iron Fishing Pole (never actually got one to drop) and might even take up fishing with it. Eventually.
