Ding 55, 6 Hour Estimate for Leveling

By Leave a Comment

I dinged with full rest and plenty left for 55. I picked up two Dire Maul quests. I just need to catch my guildies when they aren’t busy leveling themselves. ๐Ÿ™‚

Off to bed. More on this tomorrow. It was a looooong day.

EDIT:

Basically, I completed Dousing the Flames in Felwood solo, which was a lot of fun, and I found out what was making my computer hang…now it just gets really herky-jerky. Something happens when I’m in enclosed or tight quarters, where the hard drive goes nuts. It’s driving me closer to doing an upgrade, but I have to get purely excess overtime to get that.

I also went to Winterspring to kill all of the Berserk Owlbeasts (level 58-59) solo. It took about 20 minutes. I turned in the quest and went back to grind them for the ding. I spent my talent point on reducing the mana cost of Mind Blast and Mind Flay. That’s probably something I should have done sooner, since that’s about all I do right now. ๐Ÿ™‚

That is pretty much the rest of the story. I was going along at 32k/hr XP when I dinged and logged.

Two Hours From Level 55

By 2 Comments

I wasn’t tired last night and played until midnight after working a 47 hour week. Crazy, I know, especially since I woke up at 4:15 this morning to get into work early today. The wife and I are going to Canada next month and I only get 40 hours that week that I’m taking vacation time, so I need to buff up my paychecks before to cover for that usual budget padding and to allow us to spend a night or two in a hotel instead of the rest area. ๐Ÿ™‚

I hopped on Deadr and played him like a king, trying to get him to 58 to get into Hellfire Peninsula as soon as possible. Aeigelus was already at 65, as was one of our officer this morning. I should be able to find someone to help cover my butt as I get into the new area, since we are on a PvP server. Someone was screaming in guild chat that he has yet to be killed by less than 2 Alliance with more than 50% health so far. I don’t understand why people aren’t just playing to level so far. Why would you want to waste your time killing the opposite faction instead of a quest mob? Nuts.

Three More Quest Rewards in Hellfire

By 4 Comments

Gitr went to Blasted Lands after Oz gently reminded me that the Servants are great weapon levelers. I went and did just that, afte flying to Stormwind to sell off some Major Mana potions and to buy another dagger and some bandages.

Bandages are on the cheap now because everyone is making them to level their First Aid to use the Netherweave Clothย to makeย bandages. I logged last night with 7 cloth and got some more this morning. I’ll store them in the bank until I level up my First Aid. I just wish Deadr could send Gitr all of the Runecloth he’s getting from mobs.

I got a cheap level 37 dagger to equip in both hands for maximum skill learning, 20 Heavy Runecloth Bandages, and headed back to whack the Servant. [Read more…] about Three More Quest Rewards in Hellfire

Gitr’s New Duds, Many Bombing Runs

By Leave a Comment

I LOVE bombing runs! They are so fun. One of them is repeatable. I finished 3-4 quests and got 2 new usable plate armor: chest and helm, making 3 pieces for the expansion so far.

I’m going to post this pic tonight and finish up tomorrow morning. Enjoy!
