More Random Dungeons 4/8/10

I did some more questing and dungeons on Breeonna last night and got her a couple more levels, to level 53 now.

I got my quest done in the Temple of Atal'Hakkar, more commonly known as the Sunken Temple. I got a nice trinket, Enamored Water Spirit, out of it when I handed it in. That was worth it and was a pretty easy quest to do. I am at the level now where Sunken Temple is pretty easy, not that is was hard to begin with. I got queued into Sunken Temple twice last night but got the quest done the first time. A lot of times you will get queued into a dungeon because someone left for whatever reason and that makes it a little harder to get quests done, but I did 2 full runs.

I also did 4 runs through Blackrock Depths. I am at the level now where that is a lot easier than it was although there are still a lot of quitters that break up the groups. Out of the 4 runs I did manage to get the random done twice. In the last one I was in we lost a person, the healer, after we had killed the boss to complete the dungeon. We wanted to kill more bosses but we couldn't go back into dungeon finder for another person because it would have queued us into another dungeon as we had finished that dungeon's requirements. We decided to try 4 manning it and see how far we could get. I took over the role of healer and we did pretty well, we got 4 more bosses down and completed a quest I had before we wiped. I think we did really well considering we were short a person and had a DPS for a healer. I was alternating between DPS and heals during the fights so I was kept pretty busy.

Random Dungeons 4/7/10

I broke from my normal routine tonight and didn't do the daily cooking, fishing or even the daily random heroic dungeon on Gomorra or Brieanna. Instead I concentrated on leveling up my Shaman Breeonna.

What I am doing to level her up as fast as possible is a combination of questing and random dungeons. I am always either in queue for a dungeon or in a dungeon. I quest in between dungeons. There is a lot of XP to be had doing dungeons and the dungeon finder puts you into dungeons as soon as you are eligible for them. That gives you maximum XP and some nice rewards that are your level or a couple levels higher than you.

Using that technique I was able to level Breeonna 3 more levels tonight, from 48 to 51. She hit level 50 with 3 days 14 hours /played so she is on track to hit level 80 in under 10 days /played. I am doing this without using any leveling mods or helpers.

I was in 2 different dungeons tonight. The first one I was in was Sunken Temple located in Swamp of Sorrows. I got a nice cape out of there for her. The next dungeon I was in was Blackrock Depths. This one is a hugh dungeon and a lot harder than any I have been in so far. It took me 3 different groups to actually complete it once. It was a reminder of why I stopped doing dungeons in the first place, at the first sign of trouble the group falls apart, people leave and you are left without enough people to finish. Finally in the 3rd group I ended up with in there we completed the dungeon, by killing the required boss, then continued on to some of the other bosses. Altogether I spent 4 hours plus in Blackrock Depths with the 3rd group and we still did not get all the bosses down. The place is that big, we just ran out of time.

I got a Shaman quest to go back into Sunken Temple and collect some feathers so hopefully that will fall into my dungeon rotation tonight.

Breeonna

I have been working on Breeonna a little bit lately and have gotten her to level 46. Breeonna is an Elemental Shaman. She will be my fourth level 80. I don't have a lot of time played on this one and I am trying to get her to level 80 in under 10 days /played.

/played in the game tells you how much actual time you have spent playing a certain character. At level 46 Breeonna has less than 3 days /played. Each character I level is faster than the last one, Gomorra took me 49 days /played to get to level 70. Wranngar took me 23 days /played to get to level 70. Brieanna took me 11 days /played to get to level 70 and another 4 days /played to get to level 80 for a total for 15 days /played to level 80. I spent a lot of time going back and leveling Brieanna's skills and a lot of time in the battlegrounds on her. I think if I don't waste time on that I will be able to get her to 80 in under 10 days /played.

Basically what I have been doing on Breeonna is a combination of questing and random dungeons. When questing I only do yellow, orange and red quests, if a quest is green when I get it, or turns green in my quest log when I level, I drop it, not worth the time for the experience it will give. I can usually get a level or 2 in a few hours time that way.

Brieanna - Level 50 12/26/09

I quested on Brieanna some more tonight and got her to level 50. I was questing in Un'Goro Crater when I hit 50 and had to go back to Ironforge to train, I also had some stuff I wanted to put on the auction house. While I was there training I got a quest from the Hunter Trainer that had me going to Azshara to do a few quests, that ate up quite a bit of time.

I am over half way through level 50 now and will hit 51, maybe 52 tomorrow depending on how much time I have. I put a bunch of leather on the auction house today and made over 60 gold off it. I will need to work on my Herbing some more, maybe I will do that tomorrow too.

There was a lot of action in Ironforge today, the Horde were trying to kill the King to get the achievement For The Horde!. That gets them a Black War Bear mount. Every time I saw in World Defense that Ironforge was under attack I would log over to Wranngar, who I had parked right outside the King's room, and kill some Horde. I got 11 kills altogether. I got there too late to get any kills most the time as it takes 20 seconds to log out if you are not in an Inn or city.

Brieanna - Level 49 12/25/09

Today I quested all over the place on Brieanna. I did one in The Hinterlands, one in Burning Steeps, two in Tanaris, and a few in Un'Goro Crater. Those had me running all over the place, I went to Darnassus, The Hinterlands and The Blasted Lands to complete quests.

She is moving along at a good pace and I should be in Outlands pretty soon. Her skinning is up to 335 although her Herbalism is still only 178, I will have to work on that. I would like to be able to train for Grand Master Skinning before I get to Outlands.

All the quests I did and have in Un'Goro Crater are orange and red so I will get some good XP from them. I have a lot of them too so I will be there for a couple days probably.

Brieanna - Level 45 12/23/09

I worked on Brieanna some more tonight and got her to level 45. I wanted to get her to level 45 before Christmas so I could do Metzen the Reindeer, which I did tonight. I have less than 3 bars to 46 now.

I finished up all the quests I could solo in Hinterlands, one left, then went back to Tanaris and got a couple more there. I did one quest that was orange but got less XP than one of the yellow ones I did, I don't understand that... I hit 44 in Tanaris while questing.

Right now I am questing in Searing Gorge, I started there after Tanaris while I was still 44, that is where I leveled to 45. The mobs I was killing at level 44 were level 47-49, orange and red to me, so I was getting good XP off the kills too. I have a few more quests there, mostly orange, that should get me to 46 easily. I will get more as I go along too. I want to do the one that gets me the Key to Searing Gorge, that makes things a lot easier.

Brieanna - Level 43 12/22/09

Brieanna is coming right along, I got her up to level 43 today. I finished up everything in Stranglethorn Vale and Alterac Mountains then moved on to Tanaris. I did all the quests I could there, with the exception of the dungeon which I will go back to, then went to the Hinterlands and quested for a while. I still have a few more quests to do there which will hopefully get me to 45, then I might check out the Swamp of Sorrows to see if they have anything for me. I am still too low to move into the Plague Lands.

Brieanna 9/22/08

I did some more questing in Stranglethorn Vale and got Brieanna to level 34. My next goal is to get her to 35 so I can continue my cooking and first aid. I will do first aid first and within an hour of completing the quest I will get my skill to 375, I have all the cloth in the bank just waiting. All I will need to do when I hit 300 is go to Temple of Telhmat in Hellfire Penninsula and get the book that will take me from 300 to 375. After that I will head down to Tanaris and do the cooking quest, that will enable me to get to 300 then I will have to buy the book in Honor Hold to get to 375. All my quests in STV are orange and red so I might have to go somewhere else to quest.

Yonezoe 5/17/08

After I finished my fishing quest on Wranngar I headed to Tanaris to give Yonezoe a hand. We finished up all the quests she had there including escorting a robot chicken that was just looking to start trouble with everything it saw. When she handed in her quests there she leveled up to 47 :). From there we headed over to Un'Goro Crater to see if she could get any quests there. She was able to get quests there and we worked on those until it was time to log off.

Wranngar 5/12/08

I helped out Yonezoe some more today with Wranngar. We finished up a couple quests in Tanaris/Gadgetzan then headed to Desolace but the quests there were lower level so we headed to Searing Gorge but the quests there were too high so it was back to The Hinterlands. We did all the quests she was eligible for there and ended up in Darnassus to turn in. She leveled up to 43 yesterday after I logged off and leveled to 44 today :). After that Yonezoe had to log off so I took Wranngar and did the daily cooking quest, just got some meat and a level 9 knife, and Gaining the Advanatge then I hit the battlegrounds. The daily battleground today was Alterac Valley and it took 6 battles before we won one. I ended up fighting in 8 all together. I got a new mace for Wranngar for DPS with my honor. I got Gladiator's Maul. I lose 300 armor when I use that instead of my staff but I get more stamina, strength and attack power in cat and bear form. I will use the mace when I am fighting and use the staff when I am tanking. I had a lot of honor and marks piling up so I decided to spend some. My 2H Mace skill was only 150/350 so I went to Arathi Highlands then Western Plaguelands to level up my 2H mace skill. I got it up to 302 before I called it quits for the day.
