Gitr Knows WoW

How is it that one gets to the Deadmines as Horde on a PvP server? I have found my way to the blimp camp in Stranglethorn Vale, but that’s an impossible run for a level 18, I should think. I’d really like to get the ring that drops from the Goblin boss. I don’t think that Cookie’s wand is going to be all that much of a factor for improving what I’ve got, but that would be nice, too. I just don’t want to do 15 runs through DM with Deadr like I did with Priestr on Sen’jin. That was too much.

 

I finally went back to RPG Outfitter to upload Gitr’s and Deadr’s profiles last night. The links are over by the e-mail link in the side bar. I’m pretty happy with how things are going with Deadr’s equipment, but I’d better get some sales from a big ticket thing I bought last night. I got an epic pattern for 15G that should sell for 34, so I put it up for 30. It hadn’t sold as of 5am today, so we’ll see about later.

I spent 12G on Skycaller, so that made me a bit antsy. My wanding was fine, but I decided to add another 7 dps anyway. I put off going to bed for a few minutes to try it on Fenris Isle. I don’t know if I was killing any faster or not, because I was falling asleep. Helpful information, huh?

Things are moving really fast on the wedding plans now. We’re down to 26 days and counting. I need to line up a limo and get the hotel reserved on my card to guarantee the room. I’m bacheloring it tonight, so I should hit 19 today.

It just took 40 minutes of crazy killing on Fenris Isle to level up last night. I just might do the same thing for going all the way to level 20. Boring as all get-out, but I might venture into the walled area on the island. I still need to look up where to bury the talking head, then that should help me decide what to do.

I got some nice gear and took my Mana up over 1140.  I got Spirit Tap level 4 with my ding, so I really, really never need to mana-up while grinding. It’s fun to take on 2 mobs of higher level and just bubble and heal and wand the crap out of them with no danger of depleting my mana. I’ve avoided any big weapon purchases so far, leaving those for the 20s, or waiting for raid drops or quest rewards. I already have some stuff from SFK that I need to wait until I hit 20-21 to wear.

Yesterday was a good day, starting with going to work on Saturday. I need to get a lot of hours to get set for our wedding in 4 weeks, so I am not upset about working at all. I got to learn some new stuff that is easy work that just needs to be done anyway, so I might as well come in on Saturday and get overtime for it. That makes it even more “worth”while. 🙂 After that, I got to do a house call for computer work, come home for the Ohio State game against Penn State, and help K unpack all of the bridal shower gifts from last week. OSU kicked butt, the apartment looks GREAT, and then I leveled Deadr. See? THAT is a great day.

I got Deadr up to level 17 1/2 last night doing quests around The Sepulchur. There were lots of level 14-16 mobs around the ferry that I got rest XP for, and then I switched to Fenris Isle to go after 16-18s. I’m guessing that the talking head needs to go in a grave within the castle walls, but I only explored the southeast end of the island.

When I dinged, I had 3 Talent Points to expend because I couldn’t decide what to use them on individually. I have 5/5 in Wand Specialization because I’m doing so much grinding. I decided to use these 3 points on Spirit Tap. I literally never have to stop for mana now. I was doing a bubble, taking on 2 mobs, wanding them to death, renew, bubble, and just kept going. The server was having a hard time repopping them fast enough. It just eventually got too late to keep on going.

I’m doing some cross-training at work today, then off to a freelance housecall (yay for the computer needy), and back home to level before the 3:30 college football games. Yay for HD!

Orgrimmar: 21 Sept 2006

Tainted Peacebloom is being recalled by Blizzard officials across all realms today out of fear of poisoning risks. This is stepping up the action taken last week to recall Peacebloom that has already been bagged and distributed in the AH. The actual poison suspected is not being released out of fear of copy-cat acts using other herbs in other zones.

“We are doing this out of the best interest of the toons living in and travelling in and out of The Barrens,” said Orgrimmar spokesorc, Oghigypitewie. “We deeply regret any inconveniences this may cause, as well as financial hardships to those lowbies out there. Please look at the bright side: at least it’s not affecting Golden Sansam or Mountain Silversage crops.”

Please stay tuned for further developments.
