Golden Success with Professions

By 7 Comments

I finally got off my writer’s block and came up with something to get some conversations going. Lemme rev up my morning engine and see what comes out.

Yesterday I logged in after work, but before the evening rush and noticed about 30 stacks of Netherweave Cloth for under 5g each. I snagged them all. Yeah, 150g in cloth. I checked the current price of Netherweave bags and saw 6 up for 16g each, which is about 4-6g too much.

I pounced on the opportunity of the low cloth price and the high bag price and churned out 20 bags andย 2 Primal Mooncloth. [Read more…] about Golden Success with Professions

Ding 20; Camping in Orgrimmar

By Leave a Comment

I logged in this morning and put out an immediate call for assistance with my last 2 Elite kill quests in Ghostlands. No answer ever came, so I ended up grinding out my last 30 minutes in Deatholme. I trained in Silvermoon and got great newย stuff, with more to come when I stop at other cities (slaps self for not stopping in Undercity).

Teleport: Silvermoon

Note: that list doesn’t count all the upgraded spells and Teleports that are currently available.

I really wish that I could have spent some time at my destination killing things before leaving for work, but I suppose that will have to wait until tonight. I need to go to the mage trainer in Org and pick up the teleport, flight point, and a bunch or Runes of Teleportation from a reagent vendor before heading out to my questing area.

Ding 19; 2 Elite Ghostlands Quests Left

By Leave a Comment

I am at 72% of level 19 and have 20,100/21,000 reputation for Tranquillien. Mindkiller joined me for some double-mage fighting in Deatholme. I’m tired. I’m happy. Did I mention that I’m tired?

I really don’t have much to say now, except that I was considering pulling an all-nighter, but I should do the smart thing for the bod and get some sleep before my brain cells shut themselves down sometime around 10:00 in the morning, never to come back online again.

I can’t wait to hit 20 and want to see what those spells are, as I’m saving it as a surprise for myself when I get to the trainer.

Successful SFK Run #1

By 4 Comments

We ran SFK Sunday afternoon like a group of pros, clearing it in 58 minutes with NO HEALERS. There were 2 deaths, and I was a tad overpowered at level 30, but I was very surprised we didn’t have more deaths in massive pulls that sometimes took 2 minutes for the action to die down.

This screenshot was taken after taking out 4 mobs and 3 pats. It was quite a “good grief” moment.

We had a group of 1 hunter, 1 mage, 1 warlock, and 2 rogues. All-out dps, basically, with the advantage of 2 pet tanks. It would have taken much longer to run it if I stuck around and skinned, as pretty much everything in SFK is skinnable.

Astranon got his Robes of Arugal and says that they fit quite nicely.

Ding 17; Revered with Tranquillien

By Leave a Comment

I hit Revered in level 16 and kept going about my business. I got some help from Jikksta to complete the Knucklerot quest. I only have the troll quests and the Deatholme quests left to go, and then it’s on to The Barrens.

I may have to grind a level at some point to get some extra spell damage since I get a good number of resists at times, depending on the level of the mobs that Joana’s guide calls out. Still, I hit 17 in under 11 hours of /played time.

I didn’t get to play all that long this weekend, but all things considered, another 2 levels is fine by me.

Ding 15; Halfway done with Ghostlands

By Leave a Comment

I have completed half of the quest steps for Ghostlands and attained Honored with Tranquillien.

Current /played times are:

Level 14: 7h 9m

Level 15: 8h 32m

Looks like I had some problems with level 14, and you’re right. I think I died 10-12 times doing quests while underpowered as a clothie. I was probably pushing it a bit and not being as careful as I should have been, though, as I’m used to being uber. ๐Ÿ™‚

We are going to MacDill Airfest today, so no playing until tonight. I’ll take lots of pictures and put them up in the photo gallery.
