Gitr Knows WoW

Come to think of it, I didn’t accomplish anything with Gitr this weekend except farming for low-level mats for the alts. I also updated his RPG Outfitter profile. In the interest of xp, I think I’ll just play the AH more and just buy the mats instead of not getting any xp running around. If that’s all you’re interested in, this is the end of the post.

Still reading? Good. Saturday morning I got Lockr up to lvl 10 so he could get the second level tailoring to be able to wear better stuff than what was posted in AH. The auctions are pretty bare of things 10-16 right now for cloth and magic stuff. I’d love to spend the next 8 hours researching what drops where for quests, but those sites are all blocked here. I can find items and TRY to Google enough of the site text to find out who drops it or what quest it’s a part of. He is ready to take on the gnomes around Gnomeregan, but I sent him to Loch Modan to do a lot of fast-rate quests for quick xp.

Grimr had to run from Auberdine to Feathermoon to get Master Alchemy. I did have a grif point in Ashenvale, so I ran him from there, picking up the point in Deslace along the way. He spent Saturday morning with Intoxication in SM just sitting on his heels collecting 150-600 xp per kill to get him to level 35.

Since I dinged Gitr is now able to wear the entire Imperial Plate set. I was missing a couple of pieces that Filetofish didn’t make for me, so, since no blacksmiths were on, I bought the last 2 pieces. I’m now fully decked out in blue and silver. My best gloves are a maroon/purple, though, so something needs to be done there to make everything match. The set comes with a +100 armor bonus, AP, and STA bonuses too. Now I look like a Stormwind guard. I took a screenshot but neglected to upload it to the site to post 🙁

While I did log off Gitr about a bubble after hitting 56, I decided to create the second to last class that I haven’t played: warlock. I made a gnome warlock, Lockr, and played him through level 6 and got him to IF to get his professions. I’d heard how cool it is to use DoT spells, but I was unsure how that would work with a squishy. Despite cloth armor, at level 6 ‘locks feel broken. Granted, not dying before level 10 is not the hardest thing in the world, but this was the easiest beginning yet. Immolation didn’t impress me too much, but when I got Corruption, I started fights with Corruption, Immolation, Shadow Bolt, and then used my dagger until the DoTs killed them. I’d stop every 3-4 kills to drink, and then go again. With the magic shield that regens health, I never got below 50% health, even when taking on 3 or 4 mobs. The hard thing is getting a spell off with that many hits. 🙂

Well, folks, it didn’t happen. Gitr’s creator had a bad day at work. He is sitting at 28,000xp from level 56. Just 3 bubbles. I could not bring myself to go all the way back to Un’Goro for raptor grinding, but in hindsight that would have taken me to 56 the fastest.

I kept trying to get a BRD run going, but people were already in Scholo, DM, and signed on as their lowbie alts. I think I have 3 quests in BRD, 5 in Scholo, 3 in Strat, and still some more in ST. I picked up 3 for DM for when I hit 60. Our GM, Filetofish, told me to get something up on the forums if I want to do a run, that way people are prepared and don’t take other offers.

I went to WP and went after bears again and then ventured close to town to pick of the lvl 55 skeletal executioners. They are easy for me. The searing ghouls pack too much fire damage and the skeletal “mages” (forgot the fancy name they have) need to be interrupted too often. The interrupt in Berserker stance prevents a new spell for 6 seconds in -one school- of magic. They probably just switch schools, because the spells come faster than 6 seconds apart.

Another topic: how cold did it get? 39.4 about 25 miles north of downtown Tampa. I heard it was blustry and cold at the Tampa RV Show at the Florida State Fairgrounds, which is the largest RV show in the world. Robert De Niro’s 1,200 sq. ft. RV was there from what I heard. I think that’s about 40 sq. ft. less than my house. I kind of want to see that to see how it’s done.

I’ve got a lunch deadline today. I got in at 5:45am and will post something from last night as soon as I get a chance. Promise.

Thanks for reading.

 Edit:

I finally got the rush out the door. Basically it’s a parts list for a single part of a simulator. It was just supposed to be the changed pages, but since we only had a hard copy, I had to scan, OCR, and paste into a custom-built table I made. It ended up being about 90 pages of 6 columns of numbers and letters, 160,000 characters, and took about 70 hours of my life. I’m so drained.

It’s getting cold here. What is cold for Tampa, you ask? It’s supposed to get to 38 in Tampa proper and they have issued frost warnings just 10 miles north of there. I walked out of the house in jeans and a polo shirt this morning. I have a big sweatshirt for leaving, and I’ll bet if I go walking with my girlfriend I’m really going to wish I had my new fleece-lined courduroy jacket.

Enough of that. That’s not why you read. You want WoW. WoW up the wazoo. I’ve got that for you today. Gitr ground and quested for 140,000xp last night. He wrapped up quests in Darnassus, Feathermoon, Tanaris, and Un’Goro. He went to Western Plaguelands and ground diseased bears and wolves and slaughtered raptors and apes in Un’Goro for about 2 hours. I finished the Tauren’s quests at the entrance of Un’goro. I got 7,600 xp for killing the lvl 56 raptor and 5,600 xp for killing the big ape in the cave.

My auction for the Plans: Arcanite Champion that I bought for 118G that was supposed to sell for 195G finally went for 145G. I saw one up later for 90G and bought it to try to turn it for a profit.

Try as I might, I could not get a group together to go to BRD, LBRS, Strat, Scholo. Not, nada, nuthin’. I was pretty miffed about the apathy, but maybe everyone had a bad day and wanted to be alone, but I sure could have used the group bonus that would combine with my rest through lvl 56. Maybe I can get a group tonight, but if not, I’m not going to waste my time. I WILL hit 56 tonight. I’m so close.

Well, hope you all had a better day than me, but it’s not a total waste. I still get to go chill with my honey. 🙂

Druidr started his lvl 14 poison quest last night. Rani/Aurora invited me into her guild that she started after leaving FoA for a while. Aurora came back, but Rani is her lvl 55 priest, and a darn good helper and friend. She and Cassiopia are always available within good time to help with a quest or answer questions, or to just talk to about my day. Sometimes no one is home when I get off, so it’s good to be able to chat while playing. I think that’s a lot better than IMing because that’s all there is to do when chatting. Type, wait, type, wait. I hate it.

He still has one more part to do and will stay in Darkshore to get herbs for awhile.
