Ding!…Level 50 Is Mine!

January 2, 2007 By Gitr 2 Comments

I dinged level 50 after completing the chain of killing bloodpetal elementals in Un’goro, flying to Ratchet for Marvon’s Workshop, and killing one more dinosaur in Un’Goro. I hearthed to train and hit the hay. I updated my profile, so it’s just a matter of when the RPG server updates it.

I don’t know if this was stupid or not, but I’m rich, so oh well…I bought the book to train for Prayer of Fortitude for 2g. WOW!! 1 hour buff for only 1000 more mana, and I get to buff the whole party for twice as long. I LOVE it and can’t wait to try it!

Deadr is halfway through level 48; attains Shadowform

I had quite a day today. I ground in Feralas, and moved on to the Thistlegrub elementals in Tanaris. It took 2 hours for a Dew Laden Gland to drop from a Dew Collector, but I had already dinged and used my point to get Shadowform. Cool!

Then I wasted the rest of the day in Maradon, but got some nice gear. I’m getting really confident with my healing now. I can sure save the day when I have enough mana. I’m getting good at fading and figuring out who to heal when things go bad. Those that die get pissed, but “oh well,” some people aren’t worth saving when it comes to keeping everyone else alive.

I hope you enjoy the pics. I increased my anti-aliasing setting on the second screenshot to 8x.

Ding 47: Yetis help pave the way

December 26, 2006 By Gitr 3 Comments

I hit 47 this morning after a couple more quests and a ton of grinding for the Rage Scar Yetis in Feralas. The drop rate for their Pristine hides is around 19% and I need 6 more for the quest. Alas, there was no good gear on the AH for me, so I’m on my way back for more hides. I managed to get a Perfect hide to drop, so I can turn that one in at the same time.
I guess everyone is back at work today. No one is taking my offers for LFG in more than 2 hours.

Clearing up Level 46

I’ve been running quests like crazy in Feralas and dinged 46 on Saturday afternoon. I didn’t play yesterday, but I’m over 60% through now and get to play all day tomorrow. I hope to hit 48 tomorrow and 50 by the end of the week.

We’re off to my wife’s parents’ house for Christmas dinner. I may not get on tonight, but if I do, I think I’m going to turn in a quest in Azshara.

44 and Counting

December 15, 2006 By Gitr 3 Comments

I got my Shadoweave set when I logged in after work. It was just sitting there in my inbox like a present. Then I turned in a couple of quests that took me to 80%. I got back on around 8pm and turned in another to get to 85% and decided to grind it out. I went to Tanaris to pick up the quest involving digging up the 30 ornaments. I have 4 already and fought my way through crowds of 45s to ding just before 9pm. I hearthed and trained. I will probably go back tonight and also see if anyone wants a level 44 priest for ZF. Probably not, but it is worth a try.

I have a ton of quests to go for STV and I have several Elite quests. This morning I tried 3 times to kill King Bangalesh. I just can’t do it without some potions or elixirs. The first time, I got him going pretty good until his backups came. When I ran back to rez, I noticed that his help were only level 33 non-elites. I figured, no problem. I put Corruption on one and King, and Pain on the other helper. I took down the one that would heal me as I hit him, and things were going along fine that way. I took down the other one in the same fashion, healing as I dealt damage. When I was ready to take down King, I was out of mana to keep putting up my bubble. I died again. My next try, I got the two helpers down after King called them, but he took down my bubble on a greater heal that was supposed to save my life, so I died. Time to go shopping or get some enchants on my stuff.

Affliction Tree with a Priest Rocks; Ding 43

December 13, 2006 By Gitr Leave a Comment

I logged on last night to a nearly-instant whipser from Rhone, Core’s 60 Affliction Warlock. He is bored until BC and wants to level me as fast as we can so Core can have another priest from time to time. The idea was to round up mobs, for him to put 2 DoTs per mob, and run around with a bubble. Then he would do that health transfer to his succubis and I’d heal him back. When I wasn’t doing damage myself, it was non-stop action with no downtime to drink. I think we’ll be doing this a lot, especially if I hit 60 in time for Burning Crusade.

He met me in Tanaris as I was rounding up Rogues, Assassins, and Mages. I got jumped by Caliph Serpentsting twice that morning, and we saw him 3 times last night. The sky must be falling or Hell must be freezing over, because he’s ALWAYS required a manhunt. [Read more…] about Affliction Tree with a Priest Rocks; Ding 43
