Wranngar 12/31/08

I did the Dalaran daily cooking quest today on Wranngar and then went exploring. Almost all the maps I had open all of a sudden had places I hadn't explored. So I rediscovered Burning Stepps, Loch Modan, Dun Morogh, Wetlands, Badlands and the list goes on and on. I have almost all of the Eastern Kingdoms discovered and might finish it up tomorrow. Then I have to do Kalimdor and finish North Rend. I only need one more Dalaran Cooking Award and I can get another recipe which I will get tomorrow.

Wranngar 12/30/08

I played Wranngar for a little while tonight, I did my daily cooking in Dalaran and also did the daily cooking and fishing in Shattrath & Terokkar Forest. I got my third Dalaran Cooking Award so I was able to get Recipe: Mega Mammoth Meal. It gives me +80 Attack Power and +40 Stamina for 60 minutes. After that I did 3 Alterac Valley battles, all losses. The Alliance is doing really, really bad in AV lately. It is some of the worst playing I have ever seen. In the 3 battles today we captured IBT once. That was it. One tower in 3 battles. We never even got Galv. The only thing anyone seems to be interested in is the kill 50 Horde defending Vann Accomplishment. So 7 battles later I still don't have my daily from yesterday done :(. One of the problems is the battles are starting way off balance. We are starting with 20 players and the horde are starting with 40. 10 minutes into the last battle we were only up to 27 people against 39. I think I will see how we are doing in EoS tomorrow. Hopefully we are doing better in there than we are in AV. I think part of the problem is people are busy leveling and not doing the battlegrounds. Usually when you join AV there is at least a page of battles to choose from, lately there have been one or two and yesterday none. That one took me a full 3 minutes to get into one. I always choose "First Available" when I join. AFK is completely out of control in AV too, with at least 1/4 of the people in there doing nothing at all.

Wranngar 12/29/08

I got Wranngar to level 80 today. I hit 80 at 4:14PM Eastern time on 12/29/08. I ran out of quests and I ended up hitting 80 doing the dailys in Icecrown. I went and got my training which ran me close to 200 gold, used my talent point then headed to Storm Peaks to do some skinning. I got enough leather to make another Inscription bag which I sent to a guild member who could use it. That gave me another point in Leatherworking, my skill is now 418. I will work on that some more. Right now I am just happy to have finally gotten to 80. If I get back on later I am going to hit the battlegrounds, I have been waiting a long time to get back into them. After that I will probably work on Wrangar.

Update: I did some battlegrounds on Wranngar tonight. I fought in 4 AV's, all losses. It is also the daily battleground today. The Alliance was doing really bad in all 4 battles. We only had one battle where we were in Frostwolf Keep and ready to down Drek but the Horde got Vann first. In the other 3 we lost on reinforcements defending the cave. I got 76 kills and around 1200 honor so it wasn't too bad. It just felt soooo good to be back in the battlegrounds :). I am interested in winning right now though because I need honor. After that I went and did some exploring. I have all of Outlands explored and got the Achievement for that, now I am working on Azeroth. After that I will have to do Kalimdor and I will have Eastern Kingdoms done. All that will leave is North Rend. I have about half of that explored. Once I have all of those explored I will get the title: Explorer.

Wranngar 12/28/08

I got Wranngar to level 79 today. The quests seem to be really thinning out. All of level 79 is rested. I leveled in Icecrown while questing there. I thought I would be farther along than I am at this point. I went to Stormwind and got my training done, then used my talent point. I got my first aid to 450 so I have been sending the cloth I get to my cloth bank to hang on to for Wrangar and Gomorra when they need it. I am going to take a break for awhile but plan on getting back on and shooting for 80 tonight.

Update: I played Wranngar some more tonight and I have less than 8 bars to level 80. I will hit 80 tomorrow. I found some more quests around Storm Peaks so I should be able to hit it pretty quick in the morning. The quests are still pretty easy, I have been soloing all the ones that are not group quests. I have some group quests I will have to get done but it is not a high priority. If I see someone in chat looking for a group I will join but I think I can get to 80 without them.

Wranngar 12/27/08

I got Wranngar to level 78 today. As a matter of fact I have him half way through 78 and it's all rested. I think I have a good chance of hitting 80 tomorrow. It depends on how much of 79 is rested. I was questing in Icecrown and it was some more pretty easy stuff. I ran out of quests there but, when I was selling stuff at the vendor, I found a couple items in my bag that started quests there so I will go back and do them. I was questing in the Storm Peaks after I ran out of quests in Icecrown. A bunch of easy quests there too. I will probably spend the rest of my time leveling to 80 in Storm Peaks and Icecrown. I went to Stormwind and did my training when I leveled and used my talent point. I am going to really look at my talents when I hit 80 and see if I need to repsec at all. I also got my first aid to 450 so I am done with that. I can start saving the cloth for Wrangar's first aid and Gomorra's tailoring and first aid. I am still wearing all my level 70 PvP gear and not having a problem questing at all.

Wranngar 12/26/08

I played Wranngar for a while tonight and am now 2 bars away from level 78. I have a couple days off starting day after tomorrow so I will hit 80 then, no problem. I am still wearing all my level 70 PvP gear which some of my friends find pretty amusing. It is still working out well for me so why change it. I was questing in Icecrown again tonight and haven't got a quest yet I was unable to do solo. I still have some of the better quest reward gear so I might try that on and see what it does for me. I figured to start really saving the better stuff from the last 2 levels, 78 & 79. I can also make some pretty nice blue DPS gear so I will see what I can come up with. I am looking forward to hitting 80 and getting back into the battlegrounds. When I am well geared from that I will start doing arena. Once I get a full arena set I will get back into the battlegrounds and work on my 100,000 kills. I am sure I will be doing battlegrounds while I am doing arena anyway. I did the daily fishing and cooking quests today but forgot to check and see if I got credit for them.

Christmas 12/25/08

I played Wranngar for a little bit tonight. I did the daily quests but for some reason it say's I have not done and daily's consecutively today so I don't know what is up with that, I know I have done the same quests the last 4 or 5 days. I will keep doing them I guess and keep a closer eye on it. I was questing in Icecrown tonight. I picked up the quest to go there in Dalaran. I got a few quests there and there are a few more I can get so I might just start questing there, good XP. I was questing earlier in the Storm Peaks and have a few quests there I can do too. I have 7 rested bars to go to level 78 so I will probably get that done tomorrow.

Christmas Eve 12/24/08

I didn't really play tonight, I did log into all my characters and collect the gifts left under the tree by Greatfather Winter. Seeing Greatfather Winter is located in Ironforge I had to get all of them there. I got a bunch of good gifts on them so it was worth it. I did do the daily fishing and cooking quests on Wranngar but didn't get anything really good. I also sent everyone in my guild that logged in during the last week 100 gold as a Christmas present. Seeing as there are only 19 people in my guild, I am 5 of them and not everyone logged in during the last week, it only cost me 500 gold so that wasn't too bad :). Merry Christmas everyone.

Wranngar 12/23/08

I played Wranngar some more tonight. I got him to about the half way point. I was questing in Sholazar Basin. I did a few easy quests that gave some pretty good XP but then it was getting late so I had to log off. Hopefully I will get to level 78 tomorrow. I was toying with the idea of doing some battlegrounds when I hit 76 but then I wanted to get to 77 so I could fly in North Rend, now I think I will wait until 80 to do battlegrounds. I like being at the top of the food chain in the battlegrounds :). I also did the daily cooking and fishing quests today but didn't get anything exciting from them. I think tomorrow is the last day I need to do them before I get the Achievement for doing a daily 5 consecutive days.

Wranngar 12/22/08

I got Wranngar to 77 this morning. Now I can fly in North Rend. That is a relief. You don't know how useful something is until it's gone. I was questing in Sholazar Basin from the Nesingwary Base Camp. A lot of pretty easy quests including one where I had to ride a Mamoth and kill some Dragon Queen. I hate quests where you have to use something else to fight. Usually you can't control it and the weapons/attacks they give you don't seem to work too well. This one was the exception. The quest was Post-partum Aggression and it took me 2 tries to get it done. The first time I did it I figured out what I needed to do and the second time I did it I got it done easily. I had to summon Helmut Nesingwary to help me kill the thing. He was laying down traps and all I really had to do was keep luring it over them, they did the most damage. I would smack it once in awhile to keep it interested but mostly just ran it over the traps. That got me really close, then I cleaned up a couple other quests that were a little scattered and that got me to 77. I paid my 1,000 gold and got my "Cold Weather Flying Training" done, did my Druid training, used my talent point and then did the daily fishing and cooking quests. Didn't really get anything good from those, got some fish from the cooking. I will probably have some more time to get on and play later so maybe I can get half way to 78. All of 78 is rested except for less than half a bar. The first quest I get done will push that over the edge.

Update: I played Wranngar for a little bit more tonight but didn't get back on as early as I had hoped. I got another 4 bars of XP and all the rest of level 78 is rested. I am still questing in Sholazar Basin and will probably quest there until they run out. I did a few quests and they were pretty easy, even easier now that I am flying there. I will try to work on him some more tomorrow but I also want to work on Wrangar who is only 2 levels away from North Rend and 4 levels away from flight.

Wranngar 12/21/08

I played Wranngar for awhile today in Sholazar Basin. I can get the quests there now and there are a lot of them. They are pretty easy and I am getting XP pretty quick. I only have 4 1/4 bars to go until 77. When I hit 77 I will be able to take the training, for a nominal fee, to be able to fly in North Rend. That will suck up 1,000 gold. But it will be worth it to be able to fly there, it will make questing easier and faster. I got a lot of Borean Leather today while I was questing and worked on my leatherworking some. I got my leatherworking up to 408 and my first aid to 432. My cooking skill is still 400 and my fishing is 378. I am trying to work on my skills as I go along but will probably finish leveling them up when I hit 80. Right now I just want to get to level 77 so I can fly. I found out that the Arctic Fur I have been getting goes for between 50 and 70 gold on the auction house per piece :). I am not sure if I will need it or not so I am hanging onto it for now. I have 9 pieces.

Wranngar 12/20/08

I got Wranngar to level 76 tonight and the whole level to 77 is rested. I never thought I would get through 75 but I found that a flask of mojo I was carrying around actually started a quest and from there it just snowballed into more and more quests. I will probably look for another place to quest tomorrow because pretty much all I have left in Zul'Drak are group and dungeon quests. I have been doing the daily fishing and cooking quests too to get the 5 consectuive days of daily quests Achievement. I think I have 2 days left to go. I went to Stormwind and got my Druid training and used my talent point then headed back to North Rend.

Wrangar 12/19/08

I played Wrangar for a while tonight and got about a third of the way through level 66. I was questing in Blades Edge out of Evergrove. The quests are pretty easy and the mobs are only a couple levels higher than me so I get good XP off them and they are easy to kill. I sent a bunch of Knothide Leather Scraps and Knothide Leather to Wranngar to make into Heavy Knothide Leather. I have 4 stacks of Heavy Knothide Leather now but am hanging onto them because it is only going for about 50 gold a stack on the auction House. I also turned all my Borean Leather Scraps into Borean Leather. I ended up with about 6 stacks of Borean Leather when I was done. That is in the bank because I can use it on Wranngar for leather working.

Wranngar 12/19/08

I played Wranngar for a little more tonight. I didn't get a lot of XP, I mainly did the daily cooking and fishing quests. I didn't get much from them but I am going for the Achievement for doing a daily for 5 consecutive days. I have one quest in Zul'Drak I have been trying to get through without much success. I only have 2 quests in Zul'Drak and I can't find any more. I will try to get that quest done tomorrow and see what happens.

Wranngar 12/18/08

I played Wranngar for a little bit tonight but didn't really get much XP, just a couple bars. I did 3 group (Elite) quests with some help from Arkantose. With him it was no problem. I tried to solo one of them and I couldn't do it. Anyway with Arkantose it was no problem to get them done. After that I went and helped someone through Scarlet Monastary Library and Armory. That didn't take too long and they leveled to 30 so they were happy, now they can ride. They already had their mount, just not the riding skill to ride it.

Wrangar 12/17/08

I played Wrangar tonight and got him to level 66. I was questing in Blades Edge at the time. As soon as I hit 66 I made a Death Gate and took it back to Ebon Hold for my training. After that was done I went back to questing. In Nagrand, before I headed to Blades Edge to see if I could get any quests, I rescued Corki for the second time. He keeps wandering off and getting captured by the Ogres then his father puts up some kind of reward for his return. I think they should just break his legs, that would keep him closer to home. I think I have one, maybe two, more rescues to go for him. Anyway questing in Blades Edge should give me good XP. I rode from there to Toshley's Station and got the flight path, Evergrove and got that flight path then over to Area 51 and got that one too. I was going to leave it at that but decided to see if I could make it to The Stormspire. I made it no problem, got attacked by a level 69 lion but took him down without any trouble, and got the flight point there too. I should be all set now on flight points as I move along. I only have about half of 67 rested so I will go back on Wranngar and let Wrangar rest up some.

Wranngar 12/16/08

I got Wranngar to level 75 tonight. It is going pretty quick with all the XP these quests pay, over 20,000 for most, and the fact that I was on rested XP. All of level 76 is rested too so I should be able to get through that pretty quick. If I keep going at the rate I am I will catch up with the rested XP in level 77 for sure. After I hit 75 I went to Stormwind and trained then out to SouthShore and up to Alterac Mountains to finish the Feast of Winter Veil quest I started the other day. There was no one there, I rode up, dismounted, killed the Yeti and was on my way back to Ironforge to hand in. Much better than the other day when there were 50 people there. I will work on Wranngar some more tomorrow and see if I can get him to 76. Then it is only one more level until I can fly in North Rend.

Wranngar 12/15/08

I played Wranngar for awhile tonight and got in over a half level so I am over half way to 75. I will probably hit 75 tomorrow, then only one more level until I can get back into the battlegrounds for a little PvP. I can't wait. I started off questing in Grizzly Hills then moved on to Zul'Drak. Questing is pretty easy there and I am getting a lot of XP pretty quick. That is going to help as far as leveling quicker. I don't think I have done a quest in North Rend that wasn't at least yellow. I spent most of my night in Zul'Drak disguised as a Scourge and doing quests for the Scourge. That was all to build up their trust so I could find out their secret. Now I have one finaly quest in that chain to do to complete it but I failed on my first try tonight. After that I decided to call it a night as it was getting late so that will be the first one I do tomorrow when I log on. Hopefully by the time I log off I will be 75 :).

Sunday, December 14, 2008

Wranngar 12/14/08

I played Wranngar for a few hours today and got him to level 74. The whole level to 75 is rested so it shouldn't take too long to get there. I did some Feast of Winter Veil quests today on him after I leveled. I went and got my training done then when I went to Stormwind to catch the boat back to North Rend I saw the Christmas Revelers out so I knew it had started. I hung out in Ironforge for awhile in my snowman disguise. After I got them done I went back to Grizzly Hills and did some more questing. Manual: Heavy Frostweave Bandage dropped for me today while I was questing, I was pretty happy about that. It is a BoP drop and I thought it would take forever to get it. Now I can level my first aid to 450. I got 3 bars of XP after I leveled and I hope to be 75 by Tuesday.

Wrangar 12/14/08

I only did the Feast of Winter Veil quests on Wrangar today, the rest of the time I was busy leveling Wranngar. I have almost the whole level of 66 rested on Wrangar so I should be able to blow through that when I start questing on him again.

Feast of Winter Veil 12/14/08

Well the Feast of Winter Veil has started again. What does this mean besides more lag in all the major cities? They put up decorations, have special seasonal quests, and you get special seasonal items. I made out pretty good last year, I got some of the seasonal pets. I did a couple of the quests on Wranngar and Wrangar. I tried to do that one in Alterac Mountains but there were just so many people there I gave up. I will wait a week or so until it dies down then do that one.

Wranngar 12/13/08

I played Wranngar for a few hours tonight and got about 7 bars XP. I am questing in Grizzly Hills but the quests seem pretty thin. I don't even see a lot that are out of level for me. I think I will be able to get to level 74 tomorrow if I put my mind to it. I want to get to 76 and get back into AV for a few battles. I really miss the battlegrounds but it is useless for me to go in there now, I would just get owned. The quests in Grizzly Hills are interesting and pretty easy. They give good XP and the rewards aren't too bad. Some of the gear is ok, lots of attack power, good stamina, strength and agility. I have been keeping some of the rewards and when I get a full set I will try it on and see what it does for me. I don't really think it will be better than my current gear but we will see. I also explored Howling Fjord today too. I tried to open the map and it looks open but I must have missed discovering something because I didn't get the achievement. I got it in Grizzly Hills and Dragonblight. Howling Fjord is lower level than Grizzly Hills so I won't be questing there, I was only Getting about 3/4 the XP there that I am getting in Grizzly Hills.

Wrangar 12/13/08

I leveled up my Herbalism some tonight on Wrangar. I got it up to 112. That's about all I got done on him tonight. I will go back to questing tomorrow and try to get to level 66. I have about 3/4 of level 66 rested.

Thursday, December 11, 2008

Wranngar 12/11/08

I played Wranngar for about a half an hour and got a couple bars. I only had one quest left in Dragonblight when I noticed the guy near the flight master in Winterguard Keep had a quest. I accepted that and the next thing I knew I was on a Gryphon to Grizzly Hills. When I got there I found a bunch of quests and picked them all up. I did 2 of them and that, along with the killing, is how I got the 2 bars. I guess I will be questing in Grizzly Hills now. The 2 quests I did were pretty easy so I hope to level fast there. I like it a lot better there than I did in Dragonblight. I will get on a little earlier tomorrow and see how many bars I can get.

Wrangar 12/11/08

I worked on Wrangar's Herbalism tonight and got it from 10 to 81. It is definitely not as fast as leveling skinning. I was getting herb's from Elwynn Forest, Redridge and Duskwood. It is going to be a long process I think. I was tired too and didn't realize I had hit 75 and needed to train to level any more. I wasted a few points before I realized it. I got my training done and got a few more herb's then went on Wranngar for a little while. I will work on Wrangar's Herbalism some more tomorrow.

Tuesday, December 9, 2008

Wranngar 12/09/08

I played Wranngar for a while tonight and got him to level 73. I was questing in Dragonblight today and got a lot of quests cleared out of my log. Arkantose, one of the guildies, helped me out on a couple of the group ones so I got them done too. I wouldn't have done them for a couple more levels, if at all, but with his help they were pretty easy. I definitely could not have solo'd them and I don't really like grouping. It was good to get them out of the way and I got some good XP from them too. All of level 74 is rested on Wranngar so I will be playing him more during the week while I let Wrangar rest up a bit. I need to work on his leather working a little and start getting that leveled up too. After I leveled I went and got my training done, used my talent point and headed back to North Rend. I have one more quest in the Borlean Tundra to get done then I should be done there. I think I will be heading into Grizzly Hills next to quest.

Wrangar 12/09/08

I played my Deathknight Wrangar for awhile today and got him to level 65. I made a Death Gate and went to Ebon Hold to get my training done. He is making pretty good progress. I am questing in Nagrand and seem to be able to get quite a few quests so I am going with it. When I get to 66 I will see if I can start in Blades edge. Keeping all the quests yellow and orange gives me a lot of XP and they are still usually soloable. I would rather quest alone than in a group, less squabbling and you never have to wait for anyone. I think I will work on my Herbalism and maybe fishing tomorrow. Cooking too. That way I won't use up any of my rested XP and can build it up. My skinning is still at 425 because I didn't really have any quests that called for killing anything I could skin. I skinned anything that someone left and looted and a couple things that attacked me but I didn't get a level out of it.

Monday, December 8, 2008

Wranngar 12/08/08

I played Wranngar some tonight and got quite a few bars but not to level 73 yet. I think I can get him there tomorrow though. I was questing in Dragonblight tonight and got a lot of quests done. It is all pretty easy stuff and I did one quest chain that had to be 12 parts long. I turned some Knothide Leather Scraps into Knothide Leather and then turned that into Heavy Knothide Leather for Wrangar tonight, he is starting to get a good stockpile of leather on him, time to hit the auction house. I made quite a bit of gold today questing also, around 60. That's not too bad for questing I think. The quests are starting to pay more and I have been selling all the quest rewards so I always pick the plate as it usually sells for the most. I am having no problem at all killing the mobs I need to kill, they go down pretty quick and easy. I will be able to get on earlier tomorrow depending on whether Blizzard does a shut down or just rolling restarts.

Wrangar 12/08/08

I played Wrangar for a bit tonight. I got a few bars on him but stopped when I ran out of rested XP. I was questing in Nagrand tonight. I got my skinning to 425 and got a lot of leather. I don't know how high I will be able to get my skinning in the Outlands, I think I can get it to 450 there, it is just going to take a lot of skinning. The levels in skill are few and far between now because of the level of the mobs I am skinning. I am having no problem playing a Deathknight and I like it. I wasn't sure I would because I had a Warrior once, my first character actually, and I didn't really like it at all. I went to North Rend to see if I could learn any more bandages for my first aid and there was nothing. I looked it up and the manual for the next bandages is a BoP drop off a mob :(. I guess it is going to take me a while to get that as it drops off mobs in North Rend. I think I will get Wrangar to 65 tomorrow though, then I might try for a Worg Pup. I have the quest, I just have to go in and get one. This is a picture of a Death Gate, it is what Deathknights use to transport back to Ebon Hold.

Wranngar 12/07/08

I played Wranngar for a while tonight and got a few bars of XP. I was questing in Dragonblight in North Rend. The questing is pretty easy if a little time consuming, they have you running all over the place and everything is far apart. I got some of my skills leveled up a little bit today, I got my cooking to 399 and my Leatherworking up to 380. I got a few more Leatherworking patterns too. I took a bunch of the meat I was storing in the guild bank and cooked it up for the guild to use. We were really running low on food. I cooked up a bunch of food for Wrangar too from meat he sent me. I am taking all the Knothide Leather Scraps he is sending me and turning them into Knothide Leather. I will then turn that into Heavy Knothide Leather. I also made Wrangar a Bag of Many Hides, it is a 24 slot Leatherworking bag. His bags were filling up too fast from all the leather he was skinning and now when he skins something it automatically goes right into that bag. I still have a lot of rested XP on Wranngar and will play him some more tomorrow.

Wrangar 12/07/08

I played Wrangar for awhile today and got him to level 64. I got his skinning up to 416. I am questing in Nagrand now, doing the Nesingwary Mastery quests. A lot of the mobs are level 66 or higher but I am having no problem with them and I am getting a lot of Thick Clefthoof Leather along with all the Knothide Leather Scraps and Knothide Leather I am getting. I have already made around 40 gold selling the lower level leather I was skinning and now I am getting into the stuff that makes really good gold on the auction house. I am about 1/3 of the way to 65 but I ran out of rested XP so I will probably be playing Wranngar until he is out of rested XP. I think he has about a level and a half rested.

Wrangar 12/06/08

I played Wrangar, my DeathKnight, some more tonight. I got his skinning to level 375 and went to North Rend to learn Grand Master Skinning. Now I can level my skill to 450. I did a bunch of quests around Allerian Stronghold and got about a half level in. I will play him some more tomorrow and get him to 64. So far the DeathKnight seems to be easy to play and I am having no problem doing the quests in Terokkar Forest. I want to see if I can do any quests in Nagrand when I hit 64.

Thursday, December 4, 2008

Wrangar 12/04/08

I played Wrangar for awhile tonight and got him to level 63. I was questing in Terrokar Forest near Shattrath City. I would like to skip questing in Zangarmarsh in favor of leveling, hopefully I will be able to quest in Terrokar and move on from there. Zangarmarsh is just a depressing place. I will have to go back to a lot of places and work on my rep once I get done leveling. The quests in Terrokar Forest are pretty easy and I only died once when I lost my wireless connection and found myself dead when I logged back in. I got the flight point for Allerian Stronghold while I was there and picked up a bunch of quests. I went back to Ebon Hold and got my training done then went and got the key to Searing Gorge. Don't really need it, just wanted to have it. With the key you can open the tunnel between Thelsamar and Searing Gorge. I think I am playing Wrangar more now because he is leveling faster but I will have to get back on Wranngar soon and get him leveled up too.

Wrangar 12/2/08

I played Wrangar for awhile tonight and got him to level 62. I was questing in Hellfire Peninsula and Zangarmarsh. I was in Zangarmarsh when I leveled. So far I can skin what I kill there so I am happy about that. My skinning is up to 334 now, there is not a whole lot of stuff in Zangarmarsh that you can skin after killing. I completed all the quests I could solo in Hellfire and got killed by the Fel Reaver while I was skinning a Hellboar. The first few quests I have done in Zangarmarsh have been pretty easy and I am about half way to 63 now. I am running out of rested XP so I will probably be on Wranngar tomorrow, he should have some rested XP, maybe the rest of the level :).

2 Years - WoW - 12/01/08

December 1st is the 2 year anniversary of the first time logged into World of Warcraft. I was on a 10 day trial account. My first character was a Warrior named Durgan. I got him to level 19 then saw the Warlock mounts, the Felsteed and Dreadsteed, and decided I had to have one of those. That was when I started Gomorra. I leveled him to 70 and then just played him for awhile, I wasn't interested in making another character. Eventually I got interested in Druids and decided to try one out. That was when I made Wranngar. I leveled him to 70 with a friend Axeelina. Since then I spent a lot of time in the battlegounds on Wranngar, eventually getting over 50,000 lifetime kills. Now I am working on leveling Wranngar and my Deathknight Wrangar to 80. I am going to let Gomorra sit for awhile, I think, until I get both of those to 80.

12/1/08

I worked on both my characters tonight. I got Wranngar to level 72 and went and got his training done. I also got my skinning maxed out to 450 on Wranngar tonight. I think skinning is one of the best professions as you can skin most of what you kill as you go along. I also took up skinning as one of my professions on Wrangar but hadn't done anything with it. Tonight while I was questing on Wrangar in Hellfire Peninsula I had to kill Ravagers and Hellboars and I was getting aggravated because I was letting all that leather go that I was too low level to skin, level 1. Finally I had enough and decided to level up my skinning before I went any farther. I went back to Stormwind and started killing and skinning. It took me a little while but I leveled my skinning from 1 to 330 so now I can skin what I kill in outlands. I took Herbalism as my second profession but only got that up to around 10, I will have to work on that later. At least now I can skin as I go along and not waste all that gold I could have been making off leather. I will get Wrangar to level 62 tomorrow and maybe higher.

11/30/08

I worked on both my Druid Wranngar and my DeathKnight Wrangar tonight. I got Wrangar to level 61 and got his training done. I was questing around the Temple of Telhmat in Hellfire Peninsula for the most part. I also went to North Rend with him so I could get Grand Master First Aid training. He can now level his first aid skill to 450, he currently has a first aid skill of 390. I was playing Wranngar in North Rend and have him about 3/4 of the way to level 72. Right now I am questing in Dragon Blight. I am not finding the quests difficult there, they are easy and go pretty fast. I am starting to fill out my Alpha Map again with the locations of quest items/points so when I come through on Wrangar they will all be right on my map. I hope to get on tomorrow and get Wranngar to level 72 and maybe get Wrangar to level 62.

Wranngar 11/29/08

I played Wranngar some more this morning. I got a few bars in and went to Darnassus to train. I got a few new ranks to my skills. I am assuming that I will train every level from 70 to 80 just like I did from 60 to 70. I did a bunch of quests in North Rend but didn't seem to get many bars out of them. It is going to take me awhile to get to 80 as I just don't have the time to play anymore like I used to and I also have my DeathKnight Wrangar that I am leveling up too. Wrangar is level 60 now. I am going to try and get on again later tonight and then some more tomorrow. I would like to get Wranngar to 73 and Wrangar to at least 61 before the weekend is over.

Wranngar 11/28/08

I played Wranngar for a few hours tonight and got him to level 71. It wasn't too bad and I am getting back into leveling. The amount of XP needed for each level is so much that even when you are getting 20,000 to 25,000 XP per quest it doesn't seem like much. I was questing in North Rend and the quests aren't hard at all. For some reason I am having a little trouble finding my way around but am starting to get used to it. I still haven't gotten any good gear from either drops or quests. I suppose some of it is good if you went there wearing greens to begin with.

Wrangar 11/23/08

I played Wrangar for a little while today but didn't have too much time. I didn't get another level in but got some bars of XP. I was questing in Hellfire Peninsula again. The quests still seem pretty easy and soloable on the DeathKnight. There are a lot of DeathKnights out there, I see them everywhere I go. They are easy to pick out, especially if they are mounted, because they all look the same at this point, wearing the quest gear. I am going to have to start really working on Wranngar and get him to go so I can start arena and get some good gear on him. Then I am going to finish getting my 100,000 kills and title. Hopefully I will have some time this week to get on and play.

Wrangar 11/22/08

I played both Wrangar and Wranngar for a little bit today. I got Wrangar to level 60 but Wranngar is still at level 70. I did some questing on Wrangar in Hellfire Peninsula then went to Ebon Hold to train when I hit 60. I am still finding this DeathKnight pretty easy to play. It has so many things that give you health back that I come out of most fights with full health and I can come out of a fight with 3 mobs a couple to a few levels higher than me with very little health loss when it is all over. It was also World of Warcrafts 4th anniversary and they gave everyone a Blizzard Bear pet. I made sure I logged into all my toons and got it out of the mail. It is a little baby white bear. It is the first pet I have on my DeathKnight. I am finding questing on Wranngar to be boring so I have been spending most of my time questing on Wrangar.

Wrangar 11/21/08

I didn't play too long tonight, I was pretty tired. I did get Wrangar half way through level 59 though. It seems to be leveling pretty quick. I was killing mobs 3 levels higher than me with ease. I saw a Horde DeathKnight flagged in Hellfire Peninsula but still don't think I am good enough to fight other people yet so I didn't attack him. I only did a few quests to get my half level. Leveling in Hellfire is pretty quick if I remember correctly from my other toons. I have this weekend off and it is supposed to be really cold here so I will probably be inside the whole time with a lot of time to play. I hope to get Wrangar to 65+ and Wranngar to level 72 at least.

Wrangar 11/19/08

I played Wrangar, my DeathKinght, for about an hour and a half tonight and got him to level 59. I was questing in Hellfire Peninsula and it went pretty good for the most part. I got to 59 there and went to Shattrath to get a Heartstone from the Innkeeper at Aldor Rise so I could set that as home. I went back to Ebon Hold and got training and changed the runes on my sword, thinking the whole time I could take that portal to Stormwind. Funny story, the portal was only there for the quest. I flew back to Stormwind and then went to Darnassus because I was going to do some battlegrounds with him but then decided not too. I haven't been playing it long enough and don't think I am good enough with it to hit the battlegrounds yet. Besides I want to get both Wrangar and Wranngar to level 80. I expected to get on early and get a couple levels yesterday but ended up not getting on at all. Tomorrow I might have another chance to get on early and, hopefully, get a couple more levels.

DeathKnight 11/17/08

I played my DeathKnight some more tonight. I think I am getting hooked on it or maybe it is just because it is so easy to level. I got Wrangar to level 58 tonight and was able to get out of the Vortex. I guess I am no longer Scourge but am fighting Scourge. It is all a little confusing. By the time I was able to leave the Vortex all my gear was upgraded to blues from quest rewards. One quest took me to Stormwind to talk to the King. The portal I took from Ebon Hold (I think that is the name of the place I call home now) landed me right outside Stormwind Gates. When I walked through them one guard threw a rotten apple at me and the other one threw a rotten banana. Then I got spit on a lot as I was walking through Stormwind and people were screaming in terror. From what I understand DeathKnights were once heros of the Alliance the went to the Dark side to fight for the Lich King. Now I am back on the good side fighting against the Lich King. Anyway when I talked to the king he straightened it all out and it's all better now. He gave me a quest to do and sent me off. A DeathKnight is kind of like a Warrior. I tried playing a Warrior once but didn't like it. I also heard the DeathKnights aren't what they are all cracked up to be but I am liking it so far. They seem to do pretty well for their level but now that I am questing out of the Vortex we will see what happens. I will be able to get on earlier tomorrow and hope to get him to 60 or higher. I already have my fast mount so I don't know if I will get anything at 60.
