Pets updated

Well, new week, Pet updates!

Cat (Cursed Offspring of Harrkoa) is half 77, Vargul Blighthound is 76, Gorilla is still 75 and Wasp is 76.

Sticking to Cat and Wolf for now, new Gorilla to be tamed this weekend and I will be hunting down the Spirit Beast as I have always liked having rare pets.

Rares I have tamed...

Takk the Leaper, lvl 19 Raptor, Barrens
Echyachee lvl 18 Cat, Barrens
Death Flayer lvl 11 Scorpid, Durotar
Nuramoc, lvl 70 Chimera, Netherstorm
Zaricotl, lvl 55 Vulture, Badlands

I kept Echy and Death Flayer the longest, running Echy to 60 and DF to 70.

Takk is still with my second Hunter and will be for a while I imagine, Nuramoc I had for a month? and Zar I kept for a couple months, but frankly the flapping wings and the blocking that they created over targets just got to be too much.

Ganking and Goodies

I was doing the Dahlia's Tears quest as part of a chain that lead to a nice ring reward,

Now I am bad for just accepting quests and reading them as I go along, so I wasnt paying close attention and landed near a bunch of 'alliance defenders' killing Undead. Now I had Undead tracking up and didnt realize that their were Alliance NPCs so close to me, they killed me and I became flagged.

After running, dying and rezzing, I went to fly to the appropriate place and a Nelf rogue came up behind me (I had Undead Tracking on not stooopid Ally tracking on) and he wiped me at rrez level health (see 30%) and no pet as I hadnt had time to whistle up my cat. He killed me with about 4 hits, slash rend stab etc etc etc then laughed at me and left. /sigh

However, I finished the quest and got the ring, which is one of the only socketed rings I have ever seen the game.

So the end result is /win for me!

Pay attention

I just realized that I am honoured with The Kaluak (sp?) and I can get the Polearm from their Quartermaster that is +69AGi and +106 Stam with 40 to hit. SIlly me...Ive been flying alot in part trying to get my hands on the Spirit Beast in Sholozar Basin.

I have yet to see this pet with any Hunters on my server (Aman'Thul) so maybe Ill be first...

Till next time

Cheers!

Ding!

WoWo - level 78 already - two weeks into the Xpac! I have been fortunate to meet great players recently who have been very helpful with elites and the harder 3/4/5 quests.

I can take on alot of elites with just my pets but having that second player has been great (can you say Shade of Arugal??) That bugger was hard but myself and an orc rogue took him and his spawns down.

BRK continues to amaze me with his levelling and gearing.

If you are a hunter http://www.bigredkitty.net/ is the place to visit for an exmple of an awesome BM hunter.

~ Hunter Noob? BRK Fo'shizzle!

Flight!

Well we finally hit 77, and that means cold weathe flying training!
1000 Gold later we are back on our Veridian Netherwing Drake and cruising the skies over Northrend.

I quickly flew over Grizzley Hills and Howling Fjord to get the exploration acheivements for those zones. We also finished the Hemet Nesingwary Quests in Sholozar Basin over the weeekend and got the Gun reward, http://www.wowhead.com/?item=39486.

I completed a boatload of quests over the weekend and managed to get from half 75 to 77, so in 10 days I have made it from 70 to 77. 80 should be done by the end of this weekend coming (end of November).

Also picked up 2 new pets and ditched an old one. Had Nuramoc the purple skinned chimera from Netherstorm, but dropped him and now have a Vargul Blighthound from Zul'Drak (wolf - same basic skin as Plaguehounds in EPL but with wicked fire runes and flaming feet!)

Also in Zuldrak picked up the Cursed Offspring of Har'koa, which is the black spotted skin but his eyes glow a wicked red! Looks awesome. Have levelled Runeblazer (the wolf) to almost 76 and the cat is already 76 so I will be alternating Wolf and Cat and will probably tame a new lvl 77 Gorilla once I get 78, that will save me 3 levels of levelling the Gorilladin!

Quest : The Battle for The Undercity

This is the end of an amazing quest chain that has an awesome cutscene featuring the Lich King.
I wont give anymore spoilers as it really needs to be seen to be believed.

Personally, my jaw dropped when I went through this part, it was sooo awesome!

The loot reward is quite worth the quest too.

The above is my armory link, but I dont have my new leggings on yet...I will be hitting 75 tonight for sure! Not bad for a weeks work since the release of the Expansion.

Pets

With the new expansion, we Hunters are now (finally) able to have 5 stable slots which allows alot more flexibility in our choices for pets.

I currently have 4 slots filled with the following;

Ghost Saber (lvl 68, from Darkshore, found by hunting in Northern Darkshore in the Naga infested ruins) - Ferocity Pet
Chimera (lvl 70, Nuramoc, purple skin from Netherstorm - rare and tricky to catch) - Cunning Pet - requires 51 point BM Pet
Gorilla (lvl 75, Groddoc Thunderer from Feralas, the orange/orangutan skin was my fav and my main pet) - Tenacity Pet
Devilsaur (lvl 70, Tyrant Devilsaur from Un'goro Crater, same as gorilla love the red/orange skin) - Ferocity Pet - 51 point BM Pet

I did have the Green Core Hound but I dropped him in case I find something in Northrend (can you say Spirit Beast??) for that 5th slot.

Other Blogs

I follow bigredkitty.net, not only because he is an AWESOME BM Hunter in WoW, but because he writes great posts with a ton of humour.

His skill in WoW is something that I try to emulate and really work on day-to-day.

Welcome

This is my first blog - welcome to everyone, especailly WoW players and other MMO players too!
To be clear, I only play WoW...I dont even use my Playstation anymore due to time constraints from RL commitments.

I will post here with fair regularity, again, as RL can get in the way sometimes!

Thanks and Welcome!
