Power-Leveling

A New Powerleveler Is in Town

May 1, 2007 By Gitr 5 Comments

I’ve heard pallys are a good solo class, but I was under the impression that they are slow to level. This does not appear to be the case, as I’m now beating [tag]Joana’s[/tag] time by almost 30 minutes at level 12. I got Paladr to 12 this morning in 3h 27m vs Joana’s 3h 50m to 12. His level 13 came after 5 hours. I am about 60% of the way through the level, in Ghostlands, and was somewhere around 4 hours when I logged off.

Slow, my butt.

I haven’t died since that one mistake with those STUPID MURLOCS!! Have I mentioned that I hate [tag]murlocs[/tag]? Anyway, I’ve never even been close to getting it put to me again. Making sure I’m keeping things even, I checked, and Joana has a bank alt and uses them when he’s compressing the video of his run. Therefore, my using Bankr is keeping us on level ground, and I got Paladr some nice armor to equip this morning. I got a really nice dagger from a rare elemental, [tag]Eldinarcus[/tag], but I can’t use a dagger. I put a bid on a nicer sword this morning, but I’m afraid I’m a little tied to swords until I go to UC and Org.

I still haven’t trained my level 12 things yet, but knowing what quests are coming up next, I think I will take the delivery to SM earlier than I would otherwise so I can train up a better [tag]Blessing of Might[/tag] and Seal/[tag]Judgement of the Crusader[/tag]. Yay for [tag]Redemption[/tag], too!

Introducing Paladr, Level 10… Beating Joana’s Time

April 29, 2007 By Gitr 5 Comments

I created [tag]Paladr[/tag] earlier last week and finally took him for a spin last night, trying to catch up with [tag]Mindkiller[/tag]’s and [tag]Snowstormer[/tag]’s new hunter alts, [tag]Jolygreen[/tag] and [tag]Shurshot[/tag]. They were level 10 when I logged in last night. They were 11 this morning, and I almost caught up to them. Paladr is at 2h 24m to level 10. YES!! Nearly 1 hour ahead of [tag]Huntr[/tag]!! Not only that, but it is faster than Joana’s own best time in his guide. He hit 10 at 2h 32m. Buy [tag]Joana’s Horde Guide[/tag] if you want to level alts like this. I’ve got them all memorized up through level 10 now, so it goes really, really fast. I died once…stupid, but other than that, it’s been smooth sailing.

I took on [tag]Jewelcrafting[/tag] and [tag]Blacksmithing[/tag] for professions, which will both be expensive, so I dove back into the AH with both of the bank alts. I have Butterbanker and Bankr working hard. Bankr is over 1g now, and Butterbanker should have up around 10g for the guild when everything sells. I’ve enabled money, bags, and inventory on all of my toons in my [tag]RPG Outfitter[/tag] profiles. I haven’t added the link for Paladr or the bank toons yet, but you can get to them by changing the name in the address bar when you click Huntr. I downloaded GuildProfiler again this morning, but didn’t get it installed to export our new [tag]Buttered Monkeys[/tag].

It’s a busy day, but I pounded out 30 minutes and dinged level 30.

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. 🙂

Ding 27; Working on Saturday

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.
