Ding 62, Hellow Shadow Word: Death

February 9, 2007 By Gitr 4 Comments

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.

Ding 61, Entered Shattrath City, Allegiance Pending

February 5, 2007 By Gitr 6 Comments

I can’t decide which allegiance to go for, so I’m not choosing yet. My +dmg is around 250 now. One funny story: a priest named Healzez asked me for a port to Org. He was kind enough to call himself an idiot.

I finished quite a few quests to get that much XP before dinner. I have reached the end of about 5 quests that are all 2-man quests with elite mobs now. It’s a bit frustrating because most of the guild is in other zones already, but I’ll get them somehow. I really want to kill those big red guys by the Fallen Sky crystal.

I got in on another Ramparts run, my fourth, with Travi, a guildie Mage. We had a 65 tank and a 64 druid. The druid wanted to heal. I went all out damage with Vampiric Embrace. Here is what that yielded, #1 overall Damage+Healing:

Deadr ….::::60::::….

February 1, 2007 By Gitr 11 Comments

Deadr dinged 60 at 10:55pm EST tonight after a run in Hellfire Ramparts with a playtime of 11days 21hours 37minutes.

I logged on an immediately called out to Aeigelus for a Ramparts run, but there was some miscommunication, probably on my part, that I was wanting to run on Friday. So I put out a call for others to join and immediately got 2 takers, Slickv and Ninjamaster. We started heading there and had Gorelord join us as a 62 warrior. He made it known that I was too low to be main healer and I was removed from the group…that I started.

Ding 59, in 4 Hours of Playtime

January 31, 2007 By Gitr 6 Comments

I ran through quests like never before yesterday. Like I said yesterday, I left for work with 16%. After 1 hour after work, I was at 41% and already done with 3 more quests. I ran down to Spinebreaker Post and picked up that flight point to log off to make dinner.

I got on at 8:00 again and played until I was at 91%. I was really, really getting tired of dying from Alliance and the stupid Cauldron by Zeth’Gor that I needed to transmute the Bleeding Hollow Blood for [60] Boiling Blood.

My loot upgrades were: Desolation Rod and Rod of the Unyielding.

I also got all of the Hellfire Spineleaves I needed to save a wounded orc. I killed all of the Unyielding Footmen, Knights, and Sorcerers. I found 30 Zeppelin parts scattered all over the place. I got 12 Ravager Eggs in Razorthorn Trail. There must have been 10 other quests in there somewhere, but it was happening too fast to keep track of it all for you, so I’m sincerely sorry. I really wanted to ding, and I’ll be 60 by the weekend, pretty much for sure.

I have also noted a severe lack of cloth gear for quest rewards so far. There have been 3 rewards that I’ve received or will receive when I’m done that have totally un-equippable items. Nice Vendor Trash money, but useless, nonetheless.

My total time /played now is 11d, 17h, 54m, 20s.

Ding 58, Riding to Portal Now

January 30, 2007 By Gitr Leave a Comment

I just dinged 58 at 5:35 AM and hearted to UC to train, repair and hopped on a bat to Stonard. I’ll ride down to the portal, switch resolutions, pray I don’t get ganked, and fly to whatever the horde base is called.

Pictures going up after I get to work.

Gear Change, Outland Greens in the AH

January 29, 2007 By Gitr Leave a Comment

Last night was my lucky night for gear. My ranged dps increased almost 30, my crit % increased 2%, and my mana went up 1000, just from gear and hitting level 57. I logged off this morning after messing around (unsuccessfully) with a quest with 2 hrs 39 min playtime on level 57 and was sitting at 42% complete. I went over 60% of a level (between 56 and 57) in under 3 hours 15 min. I need to find some more kill quests. When I get home, I’m going back to Silithus to grind the level 60 Twilight dudes for their texts and for massive XP killing 60s that I can cut through like butter.
