Ding 22; Belf Paladin Training Sucks

May 8, 2007 By Gitr 18 Comments

I dinged 22 last night while killing the naga around Zoram Strand, just having a good old time with my Sin’dorei Warblade, which I leveled all the way up to level 21’s max. I ventured into Blackfathom Deeps area, for the first time ever. I don’t know why I’ve never run BFD, but I haven’t, so there. I need to get a Corrupted Kor Gem from one of the naga, but when I got into the entrance tunnel, I saw a level 20 Elite and turned tail back to finish my quest some other time.

I’m really not liking the prospect of traveling to Silvermoon every time I want to train my new class skills. I’m in Camp Turajo, for crying out loud. It’s not exactly close to anything that gets me to the translocator. I’m sure as heck not leaving my hearthstone somewhere that I use every 2-4 levels, but the trips are going to be agony.

American Idol Predictions: Final 4

May 7, 2007 By Gitr 2 Comments

I’m putting in my prediction for this week early since I looked to see that the mentor this week is [tag]Barry Gibbs[/tag]. I checked out his stuff and the Bee Gee’s stuff on my Yahoo! Music and it was pretty easy for me to come up with my answer.

Obviously, [tag]Melinda Doolittle[/tag] is going to have a great night, taking one of the songs and making everyone drool over her talent, and then it gets right down to [tag]Blake Lewis[/tag] re-mixing a song that rocks the world in a massive way. He’ll do it, just watch.

[tag]Jordin Sparks[/tag] and LaKisha…this is going to come down to style and performance. I think this is the week that LaKisha falls out of favor with people. Barring Jordin not getting the feel for the song or having more obvious performance issues like she had 3 weeks ago, I think that Jordin is going to make it to the Top 3 to get un-voted back for a Blake/Melinda showdown for the Finale.

Voted off Wednesday, pre-show prediction: [Read more…] about American Idol Predictions: Final 4

Paladin Level 20 Quest; The Second Trial

May 7, 2007 By Gitr 18 Comments

I got to level 20 and was totally thrilled with the questline that I got to go through to get a new spell (which was kind of lame) and the start of a quest for a new forged Rare polearm. I can pretty much guarantee you that you will enjoy the quest called The Second Trial.

First step: hit level 20. Duh! That’s what makes it a level 20 quest, but sometimes the obvious needs stating. Knight-Lord Bloodvalor once again sends you on your way to be tested, this time quite a bit closer. You need to travel back through the]Ruins of Silvermoon to the little building Northeast of the gate leading back to the newbie area.

Pally AOE, Begin!

May 7, 2007 By Gitr Leave a Comment

I started AOEing stuff this morning before work. I went to Stonetalon Mountains and rounded up level 14-16 Ruffians and Assassins 4-6 at a time. I’d Consecrate, use Retribution Aura, and start slamming things with my Judgement of Crusader up. By the second Consecration, some things were dropping or running by themselves. Sure, I wasn’t getting XP for all of that, but I finished the quest in about 3 minutes.

Now to get some points into Reckoning and hit 30 for true AOE damage with Seal and Judgement of Light along with Blessing of Sanctuary. I sooo can’t wait for level 30.

Sorry Huntr. 🙂

Ding 21; Very Hectic Week

May 7, 2007 By Gitr Leave a Comment

It was a very crazy weekend after my wife’s alternator gave out again. Combine that with the garage sale, shopping for her new work clothes, getting some R&R at the pool, and stuff, that made for a very busy weekend.

In-game, I got Paladr to 18 before we went into The Deadmines and rocked that joint. Naturally, the Deathroom that was the goblin engineering room got us a time or two, but it was smooth sailing after that. Of course, dinging 19 helped a tad. I got upgrades of nearly every piece of armor, plus a sword.

I hit 21 this morning and Paladr is on his way to Sunrock Retreat. He got Dar’Khan before leaving Ghostlands Sunday morning, putting him at Exalted with Tranquillien. I love getting a nice blue weapon in the starting area. 🙂 Not to mention the Exalted cloak.

Paladr is no longer going for a record pace after taking forever to do DM, but he is still scooting along at a far better than average gallop. His level 20 was 15h 25m. I’m going to enjoy playing a pally, and will still follow the guide’s track on quests, but experience all of the Paladin stuff, such as forging the weapon for the level 20 questline reward.

I have a ton of screenshots from the weekend, but a very hectic week coming up. I just got into the office, so we’ll see if nothing is happening. If we’re dead today, I’ll put them up and write more posts. If not, I’m sorry, but work is work.
