Gitr

After hours of struggling to get a group together that would stop wiping for various reasons (UIs, D/Cs, agg monkeys, etc.) we finally got through to Molten Core and got attuned.

Proof?

Join me tomorrow for … the rest of the story.

We have come to the conclusion at work that the drop rate for nice items that I was buying low and selling high are now so high, I can barely sell them for more than I paid. Plans: Arcanite Champion are a great example. I bought this 3 weeks ago for 118G. It took me two weeks to sell because Auctioneer told me that I should sell it for 297G. It ended up going for 145G. So I bought another a couple of days ago for 80G, thinking I’d make a nice 65G profit. Nope. It sold last night for 93G.

Lesson of the day: be careful of what you buy on AH just because Auctioneer tells you what the going rate has been.

Come to think of it, I didn’t accomplish anything with Gitr this weekend except farming for low-level mats for the alts. I also updated his RPG Outfitter profile. In the interest of xp, I think I’ll just play the AH more and just buy the mats instead of not getting any xp running around. If that’s all you’re interested in, this is the end of the post.

Still reading? Good. Saturday morning I got Lockr up to lvl 10 so he could get the second level tailoring to be able to wear better stuff than what was posted in AH. The auctions are pretty bare of things 10-16 right now for cloth and magic stuff. I’d love to spend the next 8 hours researching what drops where for quests, but those sites are all blocked here. I can find items and TRY to Google enough of the site text to find out who drops it or what quest it’s a part of. He is ready to take on the gnomes around Gnomeregan, but I sent him to Loch Modan to do a lot of fast-rate quests for quick xp.

Grimr had to run from Auberdine to Feathermoon to get Master Alchemy. I did have a grif point in Ashenvale, so I ran him from there, picking up the point in Deslace along the way. He spent Saturday morning with Intoxication in SM just sitting on his heels collecting 150-600 xp per kill to get him to level 35.

Since I dinged Gitr is now able to wear the entire Imperial Plate set. I was missing a couple of pieces that Filetofish didn’t make for me, so, since no blacksmiths were on, I bought the last 2 pieces. I’m now fully decked out in blue and silver. My best gloves are a maroon/purple, though, so something needs to be done there to make everything match. The set comes with a +100 armor bonus, AP, and STA bonuses too. Now I look like a Stormwind guard. I took a screenshot but neglected to upload it to the site to post 🙁

While I did log off Gitr about a bubble after hitting 56, I decided to create the second to last class that I haven’t played: warlock. I made a gnome warlock, Lockr, and played him through level 6 and got him to IF to get his professions. I’d heard how cool it is to use DoT spells, but I was unsure how that would work with a squishy. Despite cloth armor, at level 6 ‘locks feel broken. Granted, not dying before level 10 is not the hardest thing in the world, but this was the easiest beginning yet. Immolation didn’t impress me too much, but when I got Corruption, I started fights with Corruption, Immolation, Shadow Bolt, and then used my dagger until the DoTs killed them. I’d stop every 3-4 kills to drink, and then go again. With the magic shield that regens health, I never got below 50% health, even when taking on 3 or 4 mobs. The hard thing is getting a spell off with that many hits. 🙂
