Ding

1d 9h 53m /played time. I was 44% into Level 29 within 5 minutes because of quest turn-ins.

I hit level 28 in 1d 7h 30m. Time to go clean and fix dinner.

Edit: I took down Arikara again. I love that milestone. 🙂

I dinged this morning in pretty good time (/played 1d 5h 4m: Joana’s Horde Guide). Maybe I was too tired last night. I went and trained for level 4 Bite and Claw with a couple of beasts in [tag]Ashenvale[/tag]. Now I’m going to go after the Burning Legion when I get home from work.

Now that I’m at the office with my [tag]Egg McMuffin[/tag] and small Coke with no ice, I have a moment to post the pics I sent myself.

I have spent some more time tweaking the UI. I had plenty of time last night when I was grinding my way to hit 26. I am all caught up with the guide now on level/quest equality. It was getting frustrating to try to do things that Huntr was too low for because I was able to complete the quests sooner than my leveling was supposed to account for. Whoah, getting off track there.

Back to the UI. I changed the [tag]UnitFrames[/tag] for me, Catr, and the targets, but I’m still embarrassed to say I don’t know how to get rid of those debuffs above my head when I’m fighting. It is apparently not the Aura setting. Here is the UI with both bags hidden and bags out, to illustrate that I’ve got it playable both ways without it feeling cluttered to me. I’m never clicking to move my view or target something and dragging something along with me. That’s a must.

Level 26 in 1d 2h 18m. It was a tad slow, but wait until you see how slow 27 is going to be. I got the guild going and died 4 times trying a quest in Ashenvale. I’m wiped and have work early in the morning.

‘Night to you all. Now that we’re official again, come on over to Velen. The water’s fine.

I would have to log into Frostr to see what his level 25 /played time was, but Huntr got to level 25 in under a day. 23h 56m to be exact. I would also say that was still a far from perfect run to 25. I have died at least 15 times, trained unnecessarily, and not completed some group quests. I expect that my pace will get a tad better as I earn more gold on the AH to fund better gear and such. It’s high time to create a personal bank alt, as using Butterbanker would be downright wrong. 🙂

I am a bit off-pace with Joana’s Horde guide because I now have to grind 60% to get to where it says I need to be. I will likely be going to [tag]Thunder Bluff[/tag] tonight to train Guns and Staffs when I turn in a quest and accept a couple more, including the always fun, [tag]Steelsnap[/tag]. Still, being off-pace, I am able to grind at a blinding pace, with [tag]FuExperience[/tag] saying that I will ding in about an hour more at my current rate. That shows how poorly I played a couple of days ago, taking 3 hours to level. [Read more…] about Ding 25; Crushing Frostr’s Pace

It was a long night of logging in and out of Huntr in Org to get the charter signed and touching up my new UI. I was going back and forth between [tag]Huntr[/tag] and Butterbanker to minimize my downtime with Huntr to keep things as accurate as possible for his leveling tracking. We need 3 more signatures for the guild, but I was too tired this morning to get up early and play.

[tag]Charred Vale[/tag] was another huge pain in the butt, but not as much as it was with Frostr. I’m supposed to grind to within 3 bars of 25 now, and I sure wasn’t going to stay there to do it. The graveyard is about 1/2 mile away. One graveyard for [tag]Stonetalon Peak[/tag] is utterly ridiculous, especially since the GY is nowhere near any dangerous mobs. If you die from the spiders near the GY, then you suck or you weren’t paying attention at all. Bottom line.

I’ve got a couple of quests I can finish up there that aren’t a part of the guide, otherwise/afterward, I think I will grind Quillboars in [tag]The Barrens[/tag] or the miners and others around Bael Modan. I really need to get my [tag]Herbalism[/tag] up over 70 to continue picking flowers where I will be headed. I keep finding flowers that are showing up as red to me, and that’s just plain unacceptable. 🙂
