Gitr Knows WoW

It’s been a while since I put it up, but since no one is coming and joining Casual Raiders in droves, I’ll put it up here. If you have a 55-60 toon that wants to raid, but doesn’t have a set schedule for playing or your schedule conflicts with your current guild, go ahead and join the forums and let others know when you’ll be available.

I see the guild starting from the forums side first, and then as more people join and match up times to play, more people will join the guild.

Casual Raiders

Don’t forget, this will be a mostly un-maintained guild that will eventually have officers and leadership, but is for now going to be kept to letting people do more organized in-house “PuGs,” more or less.

I leveled Gitr to 276 alchemy yesterday in just 3 hours. I don’t think I spent more than 40g doing it, either. Now, both Grimr and Gitr can make arcanite bars and will be pushing hard for a Lionheart Helm in a week or so.

It also makes me happy to know that I can put in the effort with the Thorium Brotherhood to get the rep for the Elemental Fire transmute recipe in BRD that I so badly want. On Kargath, I calculated one day that it only takes 46g to go from 700 rep to get to Friendly with them.

I leave for Key Largo tomorrow morning with my GF’s family and will try to bring my laptop and play the AH and make another 2 arcanite bars while gone. It’d be a crying shame to lose 2 bars because of a weekend trip. 🙂

Gitr’s going to drop his pitifully low mining profession and take up enchanting… for a few minutes. I have about 15 weapons and armor pieces that I need to shard and clear up some bank and bag space.

Then it’s on to alchemy. It’s going to be fun to see how fast and cheap I can get him to 300. I’ll be happy with doing arcanite bar transmutes for my Lionheart Helm and Titanic Legplates. They require 12 bars each and Grimr’s only made him 6 so far. I would be at 10 or 12 if I had realized that I could have some epic pieces crafted, but that they took what I was selling for such a nice profit.

Tonight is probably King Kong rental night and get to 275 alchemy night, all rolled into one.

This blog is being usurped by my Priestr on Kargath. He is to take the world by storm with his fast-click-healing l33t skillz as he levels through Westfall this week. He is moments away from dinging 14, and will be joining groups in DM shortly. I’ll put up pics and profile information in the next day or so. This blog is going to be alive and kicking again.

I had a sick day on Friday and I pretty much sat around WoWing and watching Godfather for the first time. I’m looking forward to starting Godfather 2 this week. It was set-up so well for a sequel.

A whole weekend, and Gitr finally got some nice stuff. He finally hit triple digits money AFTER buying stuff for the AH. Included in the loot are a Bone Slicing Hatchet and a shield with +Sta and +Nature Resist. I’ll have to reinstall my character profiler to upload the actual name, because right now, I can’t remember my own name.

Rani, from my alts’ guild, invited me on a 4-5 man LBRS so one of us could get a key. I ended up with Beaststalker’s Gauntlets for Grimr when he hits level 54, I believe. It would be nice to sell, but also equally nice already having all that work done for him when he’s ready to hit LBRS and UBRS so he doesn’t need to get them himself.

I might get some AH time in tonight, but I doubt much more than that. I’ll take Rani up on any offer to run LBRS, though.

Last night, I got into a LBRS PuG after unsuccessful attempts at filling out a group for Baron, Scarlet Strat, and UBRS. We made it all the way through, and I got the letter from the end boss to take to Marshall Maxwell. Next up: take down Draakisath repeatedly.

In the LBRS run, I saw the 700g Fire Protection potion recipe drop, but the raid leader limited it to Alchemists. 🙁

This morning, while waiting for my roommate to take us to work, I got on and went to turn in Tirion Fordring’s Lost Honor quest. I’d killed several (something like 10) grubs on the way to him, with nothing to show for it. On the way to the next leg of the quest, I killed one and got a Larval Acid. About 20 yards down, there was another grub, so I tried my luck again, and another dropped. 22g morning! Not a bad way to start out the day before work.

I got to Cael Darrow and spoke to the artist, but didn’t have time to go back to Tirion, so I hearthed to post about 200g in auctions for the day. We’ll see how it works out this round. Some of the things are high-priced novelties, and don’t always sell, but when they do, they fetch a good price.
