Ding

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.

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

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?

Deadr dinged last night after dinner and I gained 3 training skill, including the new Shadow Word: Death spell. I really like how it drops something NOW just like Gitr’s Execute, only regardless of rage. I always have mana, but Gitr didn’t always have rage.

I re-rolled Bloodr as a female BE hunter. That’s right, my first female toon. I played her this morning after finishing a couple of things with Deadr (finally finished disabling the 4 pumping stations). I got her to level 4 pretty quickly by finishing all 5 quests that I picked up at one time. I’ll kill the trees tonight and move on to the village to pick up my trades (skinning and leatherworking) and get my gold that Deadr sent.

I finished several Zangarmarsh quests last night, but I had read yesterday that if you do all of the quests and then run the instances, you will get locked out of getting reputation in the instances, whereas if you get rep from the instances all the way until that stops at Honored, you get to Revered by doing the quests.

I will likely be leveling Bloodr now to play with Kelthais when he’s on. A pally with a hunter should be a very nice combo. I chose a hunter because it is easy to solo, it was my first class, it forces you to do cooking, and I want to be a leatherworker. This time, I’m going all the way with it, too. By playing Bloodr, I will extend my enjoyment of the expansion with Deadr, but I will still play him quite a bit to make progress to be able to run the end-game stuff with the guild.

I got a nice chestpiece, belt, and boots from quest rewards, but everything is an ugly mishmash that is really hard to look at from the front. At least the cloak hides stuff from my view. Deadr certainly won’t be getting lost in a blizzard (no pun intended) any time soon.
