20 Days to 70...

So, after a much entertaining days of my life, I reached level 70 on the 12th of August. Oh, after that the gold situation got even more easy as you can make at least about 200G a day off of the daily quests. So, I think back to my friend, the level 40 on a PvP server that wants to be a gold farmer... WTF is he thinking? I dunno but it can't be right.

Since I hit 70 I went out, finished a ton of quests, got my first Flying mount, the Ebon Griffon, and begun the long grind for PvP gear. So far I have gotten my Merciless Gladiator's Dreadweave Robe and I am working on the gloves. I had some other decent items on, and decided I want matching gloves since mine are a gross looking green, and it just doesn't go with my outfit.

I looked to see about getting reputation in certian places, and I have decided that making people do a RAID group to get rep is completely ridiculous! There should be another way for those of us that don't have 25 friends on at the same time all the time. Granted there are guilds out there that frequently run Kara and ZA, but I still think there should be a slower more painful outlet for those of us that want to get there the hard way.

Some of the materials I need for tailoring at my level are also impossible to get without a raid run, which is another thing that is pissing me off. It is hard enough to get most of this stuff without relying on the few groups of people that will actually go to those Raids and then sell those items at a reasonable price. Matter of fact, there is one item for Shadow Tailoring that is next to impossible to even buy unless you get lucky and find it on the server at the right time.

Does someone want to explain to me what the hell they do on the scheduled maint days which is Tuesday??? I mean, that is like my day off and stuff and sure enough, today is one of those long downtime days where I can't even play until after noon... It sucks to be sure. I was very close to getting my next PvP gear item, and now I will have to wait until tonight. On my day off, which I am already awake and ready to go. Which makes me mad. Which makes baby Jesus cry. I am rambling...

Anyway, So far so good. Wrath of the Lich King comes out soon, and I haven't seen test centers version of this yet, and I am not sure how good it will be, but I am sure the PvPers will soon be all loaded up with them...

Speaking of PvP.. What a whiney bunch of idiots we have there. I mean you get these few guys in there that may or may not actually know what they are doing, constantly spamming the channel with insults and then marking people as AFK for not going to the place they specified. Now, I have a huge problem with people entering the arena and going AFK. I don't even know why that is allowed, but since you get points for your partners kills and you get at least one mark for being there, I can see why some folks just choose to enter and sit there. It does make it easier, and of course you don't use any resources while you are there.

I go through a ton of soul shards while I am in PvP, and sometimes I remember to get one or two while we are playing in AV. However, the arena is not a place for pulling and killing mobs, and since most of the arenas were build prior to level 70, most of them can't be used as soul shard outlets.

So, I have to quit playing PvP every so often to fly out to the forest and try to get those elusive Netherweb Spider Silks I need so badly. What a joke that is to farm those things. Farming for anything is pretty much stupid. I remember wool cloth, and the field day I had with that one. Any other cloth is okay, but not that one...

Oh, and is it me or did Bliz spell "Mana" wrong on their mage table that creates the Manna Biscuit? Seems wierd to me but every where else in the game, Mana is spelled M A N A, except for that mage tables biscuits... Could be me, but I think the proof reader fell asleep on that one.

Anyway, I am off to see the Wizard.. I am gonna have to get a game I can play on Tuesday...

Up the last part of the hill...

Approaching level 68... The road is getting longer, but the mission stays the same.

Now they are giving away a Zebra pet for getting the game, and subscribing for 2 months... Considering that I haven't even gone for my epic mount a second time, this looks good to me.. Would one of you please start playing so I can ride around you in circles while you WALK!? Thank you! Oh, we also get Friend Summoning, so I can make you come play with me whenever I want. Okay, I am just being cute, but I thing having a zebra would definitely be more fun then my Level 40 (oooh, now 30) mount.

Oh, I agree with Lum and everyone else.. The reputation system is the big SUCK. The confusing part is that there are so many people you have to grease to get anything, you could spend your entire life trying to get anywhere and be bored out of your skull to get it. Yes, Outland does pretty much make the old lands meaningless at higher levels above 60. I made so much gold over there, I would never go back unless I had to get something like my damn 60 epic mount.

Believe it or not, I am thinking about making a guild. Why? Cause I can, and I am sorta sick of my guild because no one is ever online. When they are, they don't want to go do anything. Now, I am still kinda busy, but I think when it is time for someone to get their just rewards, that should be done, and if they need to do it twice because someone forgot the quest, then they should do that too. hehe

See ya.

I don't get it...

So, I was talking to this dude the other day, and he is a Gold Farmer on a PvP server... He was telling me how he gets killed on his server when he is farming... I was like "no kidding"? WTF are you thinking? If you want to make a lot of cash, what is the point of playing on a server with people that DESPISE craftsmen? I look at it like this... I like a challenge, but if I have a choice of building a "toon" without the interuption of the frequent PK drive by... Then I will build my character in peace and pay to Move/Copy that character to a PvP server when I am ready to do so.

I mean, I don't like that the games have changed, but there is no reason for me to beat my head against the wall because leveling is too damn hard on the PvP servers. However, I was quite impressed at how PvP server people will jump on quests with you and build extremely quickly. It is way faster then a PvE server and there is a good reason. If you don't get there fast, you will get your ass kicked...

So, it is different on the different servers, but I think that it is definitely geared towards building and moving if you don't want the hassle of the PvP beatings.

One day I will move, and I will be geared and rich. Struggle all you want, I have enough real life issues to deal with.

My game must be fun!

Still WoWin' It

Just hit level 63 last night. The ride is slowing down, and I can't see the light at the end of the 70 tunnel, but we must press on. I am making mad cash at the AH, and I even know a little PvP at this point. It is amazing to see how far things have come since UO, yet, I still miss the little things. Ownership of the lewt and placement of said lewt in your own place is the ultimate. I have started to build other characters in other classes, and even figured out how to get some cash to my Hordies.

Still way too addicted to this game though. Hard to even blog, as it is cuttin' into my killin' time. ;)

See ya!

Trip Like I Do…

I am somewhere in the level 43 range now. Finally, have a mount, and can move at just above turtle speed. I joined a PVE (leveling) guild, and these guys are just crazy. They know every single quest for every class, and can usually run you though anything in under one hour. It is insane watching these guys work. They go so fast, that sometimes I hardly have time to dot or sick the pet before it is all over.

They really make me laugh, because they will take me to a place I have never been, tell me to get all the quests, and them BAM we are flying all over the place doing all of the quests. Then, when it is all done, we all go back to town and chill for a couple of days sorting through eight million piles of stuff we acquired during the quests. I really enjoy that more then anything. I never had people so eager to go out and help in EQ. As a matter of fact, I think EQ restricted the levels or experience you could play with or something which ended up making me not able to play with my guild most of the time.

So, when I get done with my stuff I try to help others. I am making some decent cash now since I got over 225 in tailoring. I just wish I could ship bags to my horde characters. BUT NO!!

Warlocks are just the coolest! Anyway, see ya round…

Almost level 38... Still going strong.

I found some nice ways to level faster by myself, and have went up a few levels since my last post. I would have never thought you could make so much money in an auction house, but I guess it is about the same as a vendor in UO.

Warlocks are pretty cool. I have a good system of doing things and hopefully it will work until I decide to stop leveling the mule and work on my main.

I am still a little peeved that I can't send my Horde character stuff from my own Aliance character. I don't want to have to make Fear a traitor!

Thoughts? Is there a workaround to the email issue?

Level 33, I am an eBay whore in WOW!

So, I discovered the Auction House here in WOW, and I am now a farmer... I thought I would try selling some stuff, since the majority of "loot" you get from fighting can be rather low if you are not doing the big quests. I was happily suprised to find out that bags are a hot item in WOW, and I can make some. So, I have been farming for supplies and making some cash faster then ever in WOW.

An eBay in WOW! That was really, a good idea! I still wish they had housing, and the mount sitch is sorta lame, but I suppose at the rate I am going I will be high enough to get a mount soon.


Anyway, back I go!
