Ding 26; Ding 27; Dueling Adventures; New Resolution

March 19, 2007 By Gitr 15 Comments

I had quite a weekend, what with my wife being tired and all. I got to play Saturday afternoon and a little on Sunday before my scheduled guild time. More on that a bit later. I got up 2 more levels, got Deadr back up over 300g and to 288 Enchanting, and made some UI changes.

First, and easiest, I changed my screen resolution to nearly double the vertical pixels and strangely noticed a slight increase in my framerate. ~hmmm~ It must be the aspect ratio that was not kind to my video card; some non-native scanning that was driving it bonkers. I used to have bouts of 4-8 fps, but after the change, I never saw it less than 11, even outside. I like it. I like it. So will you, as my screenshots of items and text will be much nicer.

Next, the biggest dueling jerk ever. [Read more…] about Ding 26; Ding 27; Dueling Adventures; New Resolution

Ding 25; Spent Time Around Bael’dun

March 16, 2007 By Gitr 8 Comments

I got tired of the respawn rate with the Centaurs in Thousand Needles and went back to the Barrens and picked up a quest from Gann Stonespire, a tauren walking the road near Bael’dun in the far South area. He gives you 3 quests in a chain.

The first is Gann’s Reclamation. It involves killing the miners in the pit that you see running toward RFD. It went pretty quickly, although it did require some timing with pulls because they are patroling and placed pretty densely. I killed Khazgorm before I was done with the kill quotia, and had to stick around for a while.

After turning in that quest, I got Gann’s Revenge. [Read more…] about Ding 25; Spent Time Around Bael’dun

Ding 24; Caught Back up From Enchanting Spending

March 14, 2007 By Gitr 4 Comments

I hit 24 this morning hunting cats and cloud serpents behind Freewind Post. It didnt’ take more than 20 minutes. I spent my talent point in Beast Mastery again. I took some pretty good screenshots, but forgot to upload them for processing. It will have to wait until tomorrow. Sorry. 🙂

I came home to over 270g in my Inbox from AH sales. I was fairly certain that it would be a big repost day because of the server maintenance, but apparently everyone went to buy bags and enchanting supplies when the servers came back online.

The price of cloth prevented me from making more than 9 bags last night, so sales should cool off a tad bit, but I got some really good deals on greens that I DE’d for nice profits.

Ding 63; Making a Fortune with Bags

It was quite a weekend. I’ll put it into several posts today to break things up. Saturday my wife got a cross-stitching pattern we bought on eBay, so she needled away as I played some wonderful WoW blissfully for 2-3 hours. I’m not sure if I dinged on Saturday or Sunday now, because the 2 days’ gaming was so similar, as I got to play again in the afternoon on Sunday.

As I mentioned before, I can craft Netherweave Bags for about 5g each, depending on that moment’s price on cloth, and then they all sell for about 9g 50s, leaving me with a hefty profit. I must have crafted 150 bags this weekend, with 4 of them being Imbued Netherweave Bags selling for 40g each.

Ding 22; Making Neatherweave Bags for the Guild

I dinged 22 before jumping back on Deadr to craft more bags for my guildies. I moved over to The Barrens because of all the camping 60-70s at Tarren Mill. Can anyone within the sound of my voice explain to me how killing level 21s of the other faction in their lowbie zones can possibly be a fun way to spend the evening? It’s beyond me. No challenge, no loot, no rep, no honor. I’ll say it here as plainly as I can…IDIOTS camp lowbie zones. Not just one person, either. It was about a dozen of them wearing MC/BWL gear.

Ding 21; Took down Dar’Khan Undermanned

February 26, 2007 By Gitr 6 Comments

I got on tonight with Mindkiller and his wife, Snowstormer. They are both 17s as a rogue and mage, respectively. We took Deatholme by storm and took out Dar’Khan after several bad respawns. I learned a lot about pulling as a hunter in groups and they were quite patient with my mistakes that killed us 4 times. 🙂

I got the Farstrider’s Longbow and dinged when I turned in the quest. I noticed that I have 500 rep to go for exalted with Tranquillien, so I’m off to see if I can get the rest.
