Buttered Monkeys to the Rescue

February 14, 2007 By Gitr 16 Comments

So far, I have 8 signatures for the charter that I started passing around last night. There was one dissenting member that didn’t particularly care for the name, so we need to iron that out with a vote before I get the last signature.

It was not easy gettin the charter in my hot, twitchy hands to take around because of the bugged guards in the new cities. I first encountered a guard who was definitely not speaking English, and then the Guild Master was offering me the guards’ usual list of “who do you want to find?” That was pretty annoying, but we soon had server problems and when I came back on, everything was working fine in the end.

Ding, Ding, 14 for Bloodr; Almost Have a Guild

February 13, 2007 By Gitr 12 Comments

It looks like my offer to get some of us together to play new toons on Burning Legion was well-received. We had 5 players on at once last night, and Christine and Scott signed up after I went to bed. Kinless is in Europe, but I’m determined to get him in somehow. Glenn joined us as Mene, the ‘lock, and was in the starting area with Mindkiller and Snowstormer. I think that is enough to get a guild going.

Now for the name selection. I was pondering this on my way in to work today and was hitting a wall (mentally) on something descriptive without being obvious about what our commonality is. Then I went the humorous route, and that fizzled. I’ll keep thinking about it today, but I am certainly open to suggestions.

Bloodr is halfway done with level 14 and hit honored with Tranquillien in Ghostlands. The first several quests give you +1000 rep, followed by +250 for the next few. I got some nice purchases from the quartermaster:

Bogwalker Boots – Friendly
Tranquillien Flamberge – Friendly
Batskin Belt – Honored

First 10 People Get Free Gold

I want to always have people to run with on Burning Legion. As a casual gamer, that will take a few people. My guild, including my main are all over 60 in the Outlands now, and it’s hard to come by good pairing partners. I enjoyed playing with Kelthias last week, so I’d like to continue the trend.

Level 10 Blood Elf Hunter Questline Walkthrough

February 12, 2007 By Gitr 61 Comments

I couldn’t find any quick information on who it is that starts the questline to tame my first pet, so I’m making it. I remembered that for my dwarf hunter, the trainer was not in Ironforge, so I figured that the trainer for Blood elves would not be in Silvermoon. Wrong.

Upon reaching level 10, hunters gain the ability to tame their pets, after completing a questline. The questline starts with Oninath in Silvermoon (84,26). He sends you to Farstrider Retreat to speak with Lieutenant Dawnrunner (60,63).

Bloodr Hits 12 and Is Getting Dangerous

February 12, 2007 By Gitr 4 Comments

Saturday I played Bloodr to level 10 and picked up the level 10 pet training quest. Sunday morning, I tamed the 3 beasts and finally got a level 9 cat to level to 10 quickly. As with most hunters, it is MUCH easier to go once you have your own DPSing tank. It has been non-stop carnage ever since.

I played for an hour this morning and am 20% of the way through level 12 and I am having a blast playing hunter again. It takes me about 5 seconds of combat per mob, plus loot and skin time for beasts, I’m still making pretty darn good time.

Bloodr is already Honored with Silvermoon and has a few quests left to do before moving on to Ghostlands, although I might not in exchange for greater XP for killing.

Deadr is sitting in an inn in Zangarmarsh collecting rest for my next run in Slave Pens.

I will post pictures today, but it’s another busy day at work. Thanks for stopping by. How were your adventures this weekend?

Gender Wars – Cross-gender Playing

February 9, 2007 By Gitr 9 Comments

I wrote some time ago about playing your opposite gender in-game and wanted to re-visit the topic now that I have rolled my first female toon in over 15 alts. Read this oldie in Cross-dressing WoWers, and get caught up with what I’ve said in the past.

I’ve been reading more and more about women playing WoW, and they have been commenting on their experiences playing a female character. One thing that they may not realize is what is different treatment from male treatment, as they are women in RL. As a guy playing a female toon, I will quickly notice anything out of norm for my normal playing from hundreds of hours of playing male toons.
