Gitr hit 58 Friday night and did a jailbreak today. I ended the night with Marshal Winsor revealing “someone’s secret” (no spoilers here). I’ll write more tomorrow if I get a chance. My grandparents are here tomorrow and Monday, so we’ll see how Gitr plays out.
Heinz 57 anyone?
Gitr dinged after 2 1/2 hours of grinding. I was in Silithus grinding worms, scorpions, and spiders to the tune of 680-725xp each. I completed 2 quests while there, which helped with 12,000 of it.
In IF, I got the the queue for WSG and got in pretty fast. It sucked, but I was suprised at how much it sucked. Click to enlarge the standings:
The rest of the story …
This is going to be long, and it’s a busy day at work, but I’ll try to get it all up here. I’ll post in segments, so keep checking back if you want the whole story.
I logged in about 4:30 after the servers took forever to come back online. Why http://worldofwarcraft.com goes down too, I’ll never know. I invited Darias of Serenity, Winslow, Buckeyefan (who later logged in Homerjay), and Tritin.
While waiting for Winslow to log in, I got help from Buckeye and Darias to finish my Obsidian quest by the dying architect. They wouldn’t go down with two of us, to it took until we had all three. After repairing from my 3 deaths, we headed to BRD and just then Winslow logged in. He had a VERY good excuse, though. The server time is different for him. It was no problem for me, really, because I got that quest done.
When we got to the highway, chaos ensued…
Attuned at last!
Drop rate changes suck
We have come to the conclusion at work that the drop rate for nice items that I was buying low and selling high are now so high, I can barely sell them for more than I paid. Plans: Arcanite Champion are a great example. I bought this 3 weeks ago for 118G. It took me two weeks to sell because Auctioneer told me that I should sell it for 297G. It ended up going for 145G. So I bought another a couple of days ago for 80G, thinking I’d make a nice 65G profit. Nope. It sold last night for 93G.
Lesson of the day: be careful of what you buy on AH just because Auctioneer tells you what the going rate has been.
Gitr’s getting attuned
Talion is setting up a BRD run tonight to get a couple of us attuned. I should have a pretty decent stab at finishing out my last 70% of lvl 56 if we do a 5-man group. Pumped. That’s all I can say. I’m ready to go to MC.
Gitr went to Silithus right off last night. Well, sort of. On the boat, I /followed my group/guildie, Arrakis, so I could finish printing something. I Alt+Tabbed back, and I was swimming, out of breath, and fatigued. I swam to the surface and over to the lighter colored water, and saw that she’d asked if she needed to pass on WSG. Apparently when she accepted, it whisked me along, right off the boat to the raptor area off Wetlands. So, on the second attempt, I got there and killed 13 Crushers and got the Pincer stingers before Arrakis showed up. We quickly got the 8 tablet fragments and the other 7 Crushers and I called it a night.
