Power-Leveling

I got Huntr to ding level 50 this morning in Tanaris and flew to Thunder Bluff to train, hit the AH, and restock on various items that are best done in a major city. Huntr has 4d 1h 50m /played time so far, and I couldn’t be happier with Joana’s Horde Guide. I mean, 4 days to level 50! One of my co-workers plays and he is really happy with his time to level 52. I asked him what it was and he said it was a little over 7 days. 🙂

Last night, I had an embarrassing self-moment. I was in my Spellbook and discovered that I had Beastial Wrath sitting there without a button on any of my bars. Now I know where Big Red Kitty gets his red look. /slap

I was quite disappointed with my trip to the trainer and the AH. There were only 3 spells that I wanted and NOTHING good up on the AH. There were only 3 pieces of mail armor between level 45-50. What a letdown. I’ll check it again when I come home before I hearth back to Gadgetzan to escort Tooga.

Tomas was curious about my DPS. Here is what I was doing to the Thistleshrubs in Tanaris just moments before dinging this morning:

Huntr hit level 49 yesterday morning in Feralas with 3d 21h 43m /played time. I just tamed an Ironpatch bear with Claw Rank 7 to complete the rest of the quests until I hearth back to Camp Mojache to get Tiggr back out. With Hunter’s Mark on, I’m doing 101 dps ranged damage and my new bear is showing 62 dps as a Rebelious 1 pet at level 49.

I’m at 40% of the way through level 49, so maybe my wife will let me play to 50 today to wrap up a great week of leveling to concentrate on more important RL stuff. I’m working on editing a book and starting up something special WoW-related, so stay tuned for further details. I already have the name ready, and about 1/3 of the material, but I’m not going to release it before it’s good and ready.

I came home yesterday and played for 30 minutes before taking a nap… until dinner time. I was tired from the stinking Devil Rays game the night before. We got home around 11:30 and two of my co-workers called in sick. I was tired and unmotivated without any company. So…

I dinged 48 with 3d 17h 41m /played time. This morning I went to Grom’gol to train my next level of Aspect of the Hawk to get an additional 20 AP. I think that was worth the 5 minute flight back to Searing Gorge.

My current problem is finding enough Taskmasters and Slavers to kill. I’ll also need to kill a ton of Steamsmiths to get the Smithing Tuyere, although I already have the Lookout’s Spylass that dropped after 2 kills.
