Ding 56; Considering Deathclasp

August 29, 2007 By Gitr Leave a Comment

Sorry folks, but this is going to be a quick note before work. Class went its full length last night, so I didn’t play and blog yesterday… just play. I dinged 56 just a few minutes into my session. It came at 5d 23h 31m /played time. I added my talent point to the Improved Hunter’s Mark.

Just as I dinged, Punitor (Phil) got online and I ditched Huntr for the night and played Paladr with him. We cleared out the dreaded scorched crater area of those annoying harpies. I’d been up since 4:30, and it was almost 11:00, so it was time to go to bed before rinsing and repeating today (note time now — I’ve already played and am walking out the door).

Moving on to Silithus; Almost 56

August 28, 2007 By Gitr 3 Comments

I did my own thing for a while (basically Felwood and Winterspring) and want to get back on track. I dusted off my Joana’s guide and saw that I had automatically done all the quests I was supposed to do. Maybe not in his optimized order, but I’m not wandering around lost.

I am picking the trail up at Silithus.

One of my highlights includes taking down Ursius solo as a 56 Elite to hang over my mantle.

I started on several of the quests in Silithus, but work drew me away at 95%. I decided groceries over game. It should only take me 20 minutes to ding tonight.

Ding 55; Winterspring or WP/EP?

August 24, 2007 By Gitr 7 Comments

Huntr dinged 55 last night in Winterspring looking for my second Pristine Yeti Horn to drop. It finally did as I hit 8.7% of the way through the level. He did it in 5d 17h 9m /played time. Now I just can’t decide where I want to quest for the next level, because going between the 2 continents sucks. I just hit Honored with Everlook, giving me straight Honored with the Steamweedle Cartel.

My goals before Outlands at 58:

Get Fishing to 300.
Get Herbalism up to 300.

That’s it. Small goals, but very annoying to do. Fishing is at 207, I think, and Peacebloom is still a green when I find it. I think Huntr is at 72 Herbalism.

What are your alts’ goals before Outlands?

Taming Olm the Wise: Successful

August 17, 2007 By Gitr 9 Comments

I was questing in Felwood tonight when I wrapped up the Grizzly quest and saw and owl that I almost attacked, just for the heck of it. I saw a named creature in my mini-map from my Track Beasts ability. I ran over and saw it was a huge white owl with a yellow combat status. It would have been my first owl kill in Felwood with Hunter. Then I saw purple text appear in my tooltip telling me that he was rare.

Olm the Wise is one of 4 owls/owl-types in the game that has this skin color, according to Petopia.com. I did have to set my rep status to be At War with Cenarian Circle to tame him, but that was no biggie. He went right into my ice block Freezing Trap and I tamed him with only about 10 seconds of getting hit. (location: 55.7, 21.5)

Here are my screenshots. Notice his new name. 42 points for the first person with the reference.

Oh, yeah. Ding 54. 5d 10h 26m /played time.

Ding 300 Cooking

August 16, 2007 By Gitr 7 Comments

My first toon to 300 Cooking EVER! I finally found a fishing hole that gave up 12 Raw Sunscale Salmon in a few minutes… in Felwood. It wasn’t a huge fishing accomplishment until I realized that Sunscale Salmon were on my list of cookable fish. The 2 lures I went through got me 5 Electric Eels, 4 Blackmouth, 12 Salmon, and some potions.

After I had enough to almost guarantee hitting 300, I ran up the hill to the campfire and started cooking away.

This was only possible through Fishing, which accounted for the last 25 points of skill for items that were just not available on the AH on Velen. That made the Fishing effort worth it. I ended the night early with 192 Fishing, I believe. Now I’m off to kill Timbermaw enemies to get through the pass a little easier to get the Owlbeasts. I ran it successfully once, but I’m too lazy to run back from the Irontree area to the flight point and fly to Winterspring. Rep is good anyway. I’m only a few kills or one quest away from Unfriendly.

I got all of my Blood Ambers up North and logged while killing the last of the Grizzlies that I needed and just got too tired to go on. Long, satisfying days at the office will do that to you.
