Gitr

My Sen’Jin toons are now officially upper-class. Before buying more inventory on Saturday, all the toons had a combined income of 75g. I really like playing the AH since I started putting a hold on my leveling. My biggest sale was for 33g for something that I paid 20g for. I generally try to go for things that will go for 100% mark-up, and then give it a price break. You can’t always do that for big-ticket items, so just do your homework and get something in demand.

Saturday was a bit of a let down. We only had 4 people show for our guild run, which ended up being a non-run. So we hit WSG for some PvP action. We played one round and kept our group of 4. We fought and healed as a cohesive unit. The horde won because we weren’t a part of the raid, but we gave them quite a fight in the middle of the plain that kept them busy at all times. I think I only died twice in 20 minutes. Priestr finished with 22 more HK to his name.

The re-install worked like a charm. I downloaded the full patch to save time and potential file corruption issues. I’ve got most of the add-ons working the way I want, so it’s time to play again.

I haven’t been playing much because my computer has been completely locking up when I play. I can’t Alt-Tab or anything. At first, it was only with Gunr, but it has spread to occassionaly bite Priestr.

I got a complete set of add-ons from a Bloggers guildie, so I’m trying it out and this morning before server shut-down, I was able to negotiate the AH and SW with only one error and no crashes. At the first crash, I’m totally re-installing the game from CDs from version 1.05.

Now that the patch is out, Gitr REALLY wants to get an upgrade. His armor is a mish-mash of good pieces that best suit his needs, but none of it is truely “nice.” I’ll apologize for the image quality ahead of time. This is PaintShop Pro work, instead of using the proper tool in the evening.

Gitr will enjoy Baron runs until the leggings drop because he earned “Honored” status with Argent Dawn some time back and forgot to announce it. It was on a zerg run that we were trying to do it in 40 minutes. I know that’s not Core-geared time, but it was darn fast for how we were equipped.

So, for now, it’s Strat, Scholo, UBRS, and LBRS until I get them all. I think one or more of those may be done, so I’d better check what drops where before I waste any precious time in an unnecessary run.

Gunr went from level 12 to 15 and finished the VC quest line, except wiping on VC. OK, we still had a hunter alive, but the priest had to go. We were done. This post is going to be the first installment of a VC quest line walk-through.

But first, some Priestr news. An annoying world message was up on the login screen, and I knew it was only a matter of time before I got the screenshot of small dreams. Click to get a laugh:

That was sooo classic, I couldn’t help myself. Two funny things I saw were 2 priests with great names: Dwarfmedic and Pheerward. I grinned for a while at both. I also got Priestr’s PvP ranking:

Finally, on the AH front, my deal of a bow FINALLY sold after 2 failed attempts. One, because the AH was down for the entire duration of my auction. At least it was still for some nice coin. I think I paid 2g for it. Weapons selling for 100% profit were hard to come by the last couple of days. It’s a shame, really.

There is some strange world lag going on, and it really freaks out my fighting. At one point, I was fighting a gnoll. It was at the boar when I got aggro. It ran at me, but the boar growled. The gnoll at hitting me, but when I drew my axe to hit it, it said I was too far away. I started shooting, but the boar was visually hitting me, but doing damage to my boar 20 yards away. Here it is half-way through straightening out:

Now, for the VC quest line, but first…. back to work for a while. Come back after lunch.

He’s got a whole quest log full of quests to be turned in for gold. I’m curious to see how much “a healthy amount of gold” is. I logged in this morning to check things out, but didn’t get as far as looking at the improved interfaces and final destination flight paths because EVERYTHING was broken. I had the grifs in the middle of the screen that are supposed to be gone from my UI, the buttons were all over, and almost everything I clicked generated an error of some sort with 3 or 4 different add-ons.

I logged in on another server that I won’t mention any more because I kicked him out, but I was nice enough to tell him to disable all his add-ons before logging in. Things ran pretty smoothly for him, but he as quite pissed about the AH situation. Please vote to the right and visit his blog to find out why he’s raging mad about it.
