Weekend SummaryFollow

Got 61 on Ranger and a Fransisca!

Half a bar.

Excellent. I still have a good chance. I was worried since I have to go do some course work for grad school tonight (group meetings and such).

Got it (~55.1 actually)

First of all... blah blah blah... Thanksgiving was nice. Saw Borat with my grandfather (his choice -- not surpizingly, he hated it). Avoided the malls. Watched A History of Violence with my family... it was pretty decent.

Wed/Thurs... Got a lot more done than I was hoping/expecting in very limited playing time. Dinged 53 Thursday, which put 55 within reach.

Friday... Wasted a lot of time trying to get two seperate Pugs through ZF. The first group made it as far as the first fountain area before breaking up. The second group made it, but after the temple script I somehow managed to miss the Medallion for the sharpbeak quest chain. Any other quest, I'd just abandon, but I dont want to be among the masses trying to scramble for Wildhammer Rep once it means something to the game. For that reason, I'd like to finish Sharpbeak, so I'll probably have to head back at some point. /wrist

Saturday... Spent most of my time in Searing Gorge. Wrapped out a bunch of those quests. Dinged and got about half way through 54. Had some vid card/driver issues over around the eastern slope into the gorge. I crashed twice running through there Saturday, and once finishing something up on Sunday. Needless to say, I was concerned. But since (for now) it seems specific to that one area... I'll just keep to the elevator if/when I go back.

Sunday... I pretty much had exactly enough time to make the last ~90k to 55. Finished up in the Gorge (the third freeze/crash had me ready to pull my hair out, but that's when I figured out it was only happening in the one area) and headed to Ungoro. Finished a few quests and hit 55 shortly before I had to log for the evening.

Quite a weekend. I think my interface has been burned into my retnas, as I can see my shadows of my hotkeys when I blink :P. Under normal circumstances... ~350k XP probably would have taken me a week or more... but thanks to the misfortunes of some hapless zealots and the charity of the native people of this land however many generations ago... I was able to capitalize and squeeze it into one 4-day weekend. Huzzah! Here's to 57 by next Sunday, and plenty of lv 60 farming time between now and BC.

Let's see ... Skipped MC this weekend. Spent Friday night working on getting my rogue to 60 (Succeeded!!! YESSS!!! That's #2) and my wife's Paladin to 60 (Didn't quite get there.) She's about 7% away from 60. It's gonna happen tonight.

Spent some time in Scholo and Strath with friends and guildies. Good times.

Saw a group of 4 (Hunter, 2 Warriors and a mage) go from the Magistrate in Strath Dead to downing the zerg and the 6 warriors (or is it 8?) afterwards - with no healing. I, as the only rezzer, went down to an unlucky blow (everything on cooldowns and mana low from a bad pull) and the hunter's XL Goblin Jumper Cables didn't work. Still, that was VERY impressive.

Oh, got my Paladin to 240 Blacksmithing and level 38.5. I'm torn as to which should be the next one to push to 60 - my mage (300 tailoring/enchanting at level 45) or the Paladin? Ideas? Both are fun and interesting.

RL? Ate too much for Thanksgiving and took my wife out for our 12th wedding anniversary on Saturday (ended up being a lunch instead of dinner 'cause a good friend of the family needed some emergency counsoling). Oh, well. I've got her the rest of my life. The friends can borrow her for an evening.

It was a pretty darn productive weekend,
Im shocked how much I have got done.

I ran ZF three times, leveled from 47-49. Main healer, and i thought i did a pretty darn good job for it, considering im only a resto specced shaman.

I got my carrot, but nothing else good from any of the runs.

Im thinking about respeccing just to get some PVP for the next few days, since im at 49. Then speccing back to resto to level up to 60.

I think thats about all, oh i spent about 1 hour in WPL with my hunter, i got a new kitty and she is only level 20, so I was working on getting her to a higher level. Why does it take so long to level pets? Argh!

Yep - went pretty much as planned - Mom didn't even nag me about the boyfriend (who isn't good enough for me, of course.)



Well, about the only thing I got done with her is hold her back but he is working on catching up to me so I'm happy. I took a little run around Shimmering Flats/Thousand Needles to mine a bit and ended up helping out a druid up in High Perch and talked him into doing the escort quest with me (which I hadn't done) so that was fun. I also helped him with the caged Panther quest. I do like helping people from time to time - feels good. I also took her a few laps around the Wailing Caverns outer area to pick up a bunch of greens to put on the AH.



I gave it a go but the boxes weren't yielding much silk. I did take her into the Wailing Caverns area to work on the Deviate Hides quest and finish off the SerpentBloom since both quests had gone gray on me. While I was there I accepted an invite to go into WC (my first actual 'group' experience. LoL) We didn't get far but I had a good time and ended up chatting with one of the guys for quite some time after we gave up on WC and did other stuff. I ended up going back to WC (not the instance) to finish off the hides and do the wailing essences.

I leveled my Mage up to 25 and got a few more of her quests done. I got her to Ashenvale and did the Zoram Strand Naga killing. She's fun to play - a big difference from playing Warrior and Rogue.



No on the Silverpine but I talked the boyfriend into helping out my NE Rogue on some quests with his 48 NE Hunter. It was fun and we even got a nice blue drop off of a furlbog. My Rogue also spent some time fishing up Deviates and so I upped my gold a little. She also spent some time on some other Rachet quests and ended up following a Troll Rogue around skinning his kills. He didn't seem to mind especially when I helped out with some adds.

I did finally run my 15 Dwarf warrior to Menithil. I finished all of the Teldrassil quests on her last night and managed to push her to level 16. I think I'll have her do a few of the easier Darkshore quests and then head back to Loch Modan. I finally got to test out her treasure hunting ability since there are no mines on Teldrassil so that was fun. LoL
