Changes to Professions Coming

April 10, 2007 By Gitr 1 Comment

I just read on WoWinsider.com that changes are coming for professions. After reading all of that, the only change I may make to my professions is to actually fish now. I know, I know, it’s a great money-maker, but I just can’t stay awake after 8pm sending out a lure, wait 30 seconds while intently trained on the bobber, and then clicking it IF it moves. While 20 seconds isn’t short, it’s a lot shorter.

Are you going to make any changes/switches in your professions because of the upcoming changes?

Slow Going in Stonetalon Mountains

April 9, 2007 By Gitr 5 Comments

I didn’t get very far into level 23 last night, mostly at the hands of some PvP jerks out to make people miserable. It started from the moment I logged in. I was all the way up in the North in Stonetalon Peak, trying to get the last parts for Jin’Zil’s Forest Magic (which wasn’t going too good), when I was immediately presented with a level 23 dwarf hunter about 30 yards in front of me. He had red text above his name. We all know what that means. RUN!!

I a Hunter’s Mark above my head before I could even think to run, and his cat was running up to get me. My first thought was to frost nova the cat and get to a mountain and jump. Would you believe that there were no accessible ledges to be found without risking a dead end attempt? It sucked. He chased me all the way down to Mirkfallon Lake before I met some help. He died. I went to Sun Rock Retreat to turn in what I did get done.

Ding 21; Exalted with Tranquillien

It was a fine time doing stuff all by my lonesome doing questing and following Joana’s Horde Leveling Guide pretty closely. There are a couple of times that I’ve done a quest that I didn’t need to, or gone to a trainer when he didn’t say, but then again, I can teleport. When you aren’t playing straight through, too, you can use hearth more often to fly to a city and then hearth back when he says in the guide.

Kelthias asked me in guild chat last night how I like the guide. I LOVE it! I have all of the maps I need, all the paths to take, all the areas to find kill quest mobs, videos for help, and it’s all in an organized manner to eliminate backtracking.

/played: 18h 28m @ level 21.

Where’s Frostr?

April 5, 2007 By Gitr 3 Comments

Frostr hasn’t seen much playing time this week because of all the crap after work that’s been going on. I got him to X-roads and Camp Turajo last night and completed 2 quests this morning. I’m still a ways away from leveling, so it looks like it will be more than 2 hours for this level. 🙁

I logged in Deadr this morning to make Frostr a pair of Spidersilk Boots and enchanted them with Minor Speed before sending them away. They were for sale for 12g, but I made them for 8g. Yay for uber alts. He still needs to get the staff from the Ghostlands quest in Deatholme, but I can always teleport now. 🙂 That may save as much time on the guide as not having Aspect of the Cheetah. I have access to Org, UC, and SM. I believe TB is at level 30 or 40.

Golden Success with Professions

April 3, 2007 By Gitr 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 and 2 Primal Mooncloth. [Read more…] about Golden Success with Professions

Ding 19; 2 Elite Ghostlands Quests Left

April 3, 2007 By Gitr 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.
