Alts

As a solo (alot) player, I have a few alts.
I have also deleted quite a few. I have basically tried every class to at least 20 (except Rogues - I cant seem to get into Rogues).

I have a 66 DK (in progress), a mage (11), a lock (20), a second Hunter (surprise!) 32
and a couple of bank alts.

Now on another server I have a Pally (I know how much I have spewed against Pallys but well have to try right?) and a Druid, both in the mid-teens.

Whats your fav alt? Me - Im enjoying the DK right now, mostly because its the exact opposite of a Hunter. Hes Melee, likes to get up close and personal. I very rarely use the Ghoul, usually only when I aggro a few more then I should have or if there is an Elite up.

For my main, its just dailys and looking for Loq right now. Once I get Loq I will go back and continue other quest lines and things that I havent finished.

Well, a couple gear upgrades...1 via AH 1 via Rep Reward has us at a nice tidy 10K mana and 16.8 HP. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=36999 - found these on the AH for 50G (cheep!) plus this http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44109 from the Frenzyheart Tribe in Sholozar Basin has us rocking!

With Xmas right around the corner, we are crazy busy with our kids and the Missus so we wont be updating much over the next 2 weeks.

GL and see you after the madness!

The Grind continues...

Wow, the grind carries on. We are currently trying to raise enough gold for the 20K mammoth with the two-vendor two-seater option. Phew! Made 3K over the last week, grinding mats and doing quests at the same time.

Pets continue to come up to 80, Frostus(cat 80), Pepper (gorilla 80), Runeblazer (wolf 78 1/2 ) and RazorWing (WindSerpent 77)

Still searching for the Spirit Beast (but not too hard)

More updates later...

Pet Update

Pet update as of Dec 3 2008.

1. Wolf - Runeblazer - hes half 76 and will get some work when I run some Heroics
2. Cat - Frostus (thanks to the Mrs for that name!) - hes almost 80 and is great!
3. Gorilla - Pepper - hes half 77 and always fun to take out just about anywhere!
4. Wasp - Wisp (yes thats the name not a typo) - hvaent used much but tamed anyway cause they are HUGE, the wasps dont seem to shrink as other pets do.
5. One empty slot for the Hydra (see post just below this one)

Absenteeism

Phew! What a week! Had to do some moving and get some Xmas s***e going so havent played much. (Although I did find some time to start my DK and have him at 60 already ).

Targets over the next month or so include:

1. Run some Heroics, Im lvl 80 with 196 Hit (which is capped for 80 with 3/3 in Focused Fire)
2. Look into the Spirit of Atha which is a summoned mob for a lvl 80 daily.

A side note on this mob : I have tried a crocolisk once and wasnt really impressed
however, for a semi-transparent Hydra I may be willing to try. /smile

3. Grind out some more leather, I can sell stacks of Heavy Borean Leather for 400-450G per stack.
I figure 40 stacks should net me the 3-person Mammoth

I did one hour in Zul'drak and I got 3 Arctic Fur (which sell for 50-75G per), 1 1/2 stacks of Heavy Borean Leather, and enough grey trash to net me over 550G for one hour worth of work! OMG and I didnt even have out my Gorilla, just the Cat.

4. Help out some of my guildies who are just scratching the surface of Northrend.
5. Get to Storm Peaks, havent even entered the Zone yet LOL.

Well thats it for today, Ill try posting once more this week, but may not happen till Monday.

To my one reader, have a Great Weekend!

Ding!

Level 80! Hit 80 on Saturday, not bad 15 days to go from 70 to 80.

Now its a matter of running Instances to get our gear upgraded.

Heroics here I come...

Ganking and Goodies

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

http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=44039

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!

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!

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!
