PvP Servers and TBC Competition

By 4 Comments

Since Gitr is on a PvE server, I have had no problem with Faction quarrels while in Outlands. I don’t have my flag up, so I’m free to roam and quest without fear of a gang-up or ganking. Deadr, however is not going to be so lucky. Couple that with his getting to Outlands late, as everyone will be 62-65+ when Deadr hits 58, I have a feeling I will be in for a rocky start.

What have been your PvP experiences in Outlands? Has the LFG system been working for you to group up when your guildies are busy so you have a buddy to keep you protected? Inquiring minds want to know.

Three More Quest Rewards in Hellfire

By 4 Comments

Gitr went to Blasted Lands after Oz gently reminded me that the Servants are great weapon levelers. I went and did just that, afte flying to Stormwind to sell off some Major Mana potions and to buy another dagger and some bandages.

Bandages are on the cheap now because everyone is making them to level their First Aid to use the Netherweave Cloth to make bandages. I logged last night with 7 cloth and got some more this morning. I’ll store them in the bank until I level up my First Aid. I just wish Deadr could send Gitr all of the Runecloth he’s getting from mobs.

I got a cheap level 37 dagger to equip in both hands for maximum skill learning, 20 Heavy Runecloth Bandages, and headed back to whack the Servant. [Read more…] about Three More Quest Rewards in Hellfire

Gitr’s New Duds, Many Bombing Runs

By Leave a Comment

I LOVE bombing runs! They are so fun. One of them is repeatable. I finished 3-4 quests and got 2 new usable plate armor: chest and helm, making 3 pieces for the expansion so far.

I’m going to post this pic tonight and finish up tomorrow morning. Enjoy!

TBC Greens Are Better Than Your Blues

By 5 Comments

If there is one reason to buy the expansion, then let me just say the loot is awesome! Forget that you can level up. Forget new dungeons. Spend a few hours doing quests and then go back and play your old dungeons with new vigor. Not that you will want to go back there or forget about leveling or playing new instances, but you do have that option. 🙂 

I haven’t quite finished processing the graphics yet, but I finished 2 quests this morning before work. In both cases, the reward was better than Strat/Scholo/UBRS/LBRS blues. How many of us ran UBRS 70 times trying to get the Dal’Rend set, or the chestpiece from Drakk?

This loot is disgusting (* denotes what I chose): [Read more…] about TBC Greens Are Better Than Your Blues
