Ding 49; Almost Done with Feralas

By 3 Comments

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.

Ding 48; Searing Gorge Is Rough

By 2 Comments

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.

Gorlash Down! Going into Searing Gorge

By 5 Comments

I downed Gorlash on my second attempt this morning. I was able to get away with a feign death to reset and rez Tiggr for another shot. The second time around, I substituted Serpent Sting with Scorpid Sting and started healing Tiggr right away. I still ended up running out of mana, but the dude had 8,000 HP to cut through.

I’m sitting on 49g with Huntr now, and Bankr hasn’t sent him any gold since he got his mount, so that makes for 40g in killing loot and Vendor Trash in 7 levels. I love having big bags to hold all of that stuff.

I’ve started collecting small pets to put in my bank just for fun. So far, I have a cockroach from UC and the two birds in Booty Bay. To find out ALL of the pets available, check out Warcraft Pets.

Ding 47; Quest Log Is Busting Open

By 9 Comments

I dinged last night after about 5 minutes with 3d 14h 57m /played time. Then it was party time to turn in all of the quests in my log. It was getting ridiculous, with quests all over Azeroth to turn in.

I made my way back to STV to continue several more quests after turning in about 10 of these. I am still missing one part of a 3 item quest for Maurey’s Clubbed Foot, I believe. I have a ring and something else, but I didn’t wait around long enough at one place for the item to drop. Luckily, there is another quest near there for tonight, so I’ll hearth back after I get the item to get the next leg of the quest.

I logged off this morning at 55% of the way through level 47 with barely over an hour of playing time and checked to see that I have over 120g on Velen to play around with. I am getting frustrated with Herbalism and may pick up Tailoring. The only thing stopping me from doing that is having two tailors when I transfer Deadr will be a waste.

What did you do last night?

Pet Inconsistency

By 3 Comments

This is a quick one: why is it that you can’t jump from one level to another in a cave without your pet running the actual path all the way around, but you can jump off a 50 foot high Zep tower and he stays right with you? Hmmm?
