Brieanna 9/8/08

I did some more questing on Brieanna today and got half way through level 25, only 5 more levels until I am mounted again, I can't wait. I did some quests in Wetlands and went to Arathi Highlands and got the flightpath. From there I ran to Southshore and turned in a quest and got the flightpath there. I killed a few level 30 Raptors (480xp for the first, rested, and 204xp for the 2nd and 3rd) in Arathi Highlands and got my first piece of Heavy Leather on this character. My skinning is now 196. My First Aid is 225 and I can't go any higher until level 35 when I can get the quest :(. My cooking is 112, kind of low, and my Mining is 21, really low. My fishing is 140 tho so that is coming along. I think fishing is one of the worst skills to have to level up when you are a high level. I did it on Gomorra and it was pretty bad but it wasn't as bad on Wranngar because I worked on his more while I was leveling. I will try to keep this one up to speed and not have to go through that at all. I will hit 26 tomorrow and try for 27, we will see what happens. I will have to get some screenshots in Wetlands tomorrow, I don't have many of this toon.

Brieanna 9/7/08

I had some time to work on Brieanna today. I got to level 24 and got a new pet that seems to be working out well so far. I also worked on my fishing today, I went to the pond right outside Wailing Caverns in the Barrens and caught Deviate Fish while I was leveling it. I got my fishing up to 140 skill which let me finish a quest in Lakeshire. I sent them to Gomorra to make into Savory Deviate Delight. Brieanna can put a stack on the AH for 50-60 gold, that will come in handy. To get to the Barrens, and Ratchet, I took the boat to Theramore, got the fly point, then ran to Ratchet. It took awhile but from Ratchet I was able to get the fly point and I hopped the boat to Booty Bay so I got the fly point there too. After that I did a few quests in Duskwood and got some really good XP. That is also where I picked up my new pet. I had my pet chicken out running with me today too. That is the one I got in Westfall where you have to cluck like a chicken at a chicken until it decides to talk to you. It is a pretty embarassing quest to do and people look at you like you are crazy.

Brieanna 9/6/08

I worked on leveling Brieanna a little today, got to level 22. I did a couple quests in Lakeshire to level then went back to Stormwind and got my training. Only 8 more levels to go until mounted. I hope to have some more time tomorrow to get a couple more levels in. It won't be long until I am riding again. I sold a bunch of the leather I had been skinning and got over 20 gold for it so that was a nice surprise.

Daily Fishing 9/6/08

The daily fishing was Crocolisks in the City, I got it done on Wranngar. I had tried earlier and, after 33 casts, had no luck but when I logged back on I got my Baby Crocolisk on the first cast. I fish for these right in the canal outside the Mage District in Stormwind. It is a pretty easy quest and one that can be done by someone with a lower fishing skill. When I turned it in to Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest for my Bag of Fishing Treasures I got 7g41s60c, 3 Elixirs of Water Walking and a Razor Sharp Fillet Knife which I sold to a vendor for 4g28s. I put the Elixir's in the guild vault. Nothing great today but I will keep plugging away for the good stuff.

Battlegrounds 9/6/08

The daily battleground today was Alterac Valley. I did it on Wranngar and, surprisingly enough, we won the first one I was in. We rushed FWGY, then FW Keep while some stayed back and got IBT and TP. We got all the towers capped then took out Drek. Galv also got taken out along the way so it was a maximum honor game. I might go back in later for a few more if I get bored leveling up Brieanna.

Brieanna 9/5/08

I had some time to play Brieanna tonight and got her to level 21, only 9 more levels until mounted again. I pretty much wrapped up some quests I had in Stormwind, Westfall and Lakeshire then went to Duskwood and did a couple quests there. I was getting some pretty good XP in Duskwood as most of the mobs were 2-3+ levels higher than me. I wanted to get another level before I headed back to Lakeshire to finish up some quests there.

Brieanna 9/3/08

I only got to play for a little while today but I got Brieanna up to level 20. One of the guildies from my guild took me on a run through Deadmines and I got a few really nice pieces out of there. When I got done with Deadmines I was less than a bar from 20 so I did one quick quest in Westfall, that I picked up in Stormwind, and that put me over the top. Only 10 more levels until I can ride again. It is really hard going from riding swift mounts to having to walk everywhere. Anyway I got a nice leather chest piece that dropped off VanCleef, a nice pair of leather pants and a nice polearm. all that should help me going forward. I need to take some more screenshots as I only have a couple so far.

Battlegrounds 9/2/08

Today's daily was Eye of the Storm and I got it done on Wranngar in the first one I was in. I turned that in for 11g99s plus the 419 extra honor that you get from the daily. After that I headed into AV for 1 win and 5 losses, seems the Alliance fell right back into their clueless groove. You would not believe the amount of AFK in all the battles I was in. There is a new twist now that a lot more people are using TuringTest AFK Reporter, you see a lot of people at the end with 1,000 dmg, 1,500 dmg and so on, they just hit something once in awhile so it does not report them AFK. To give you a basic idea, most people have between 50,000 all the way up to 200,000+ dmg when a battle is over. It is really sad that these losers are costing us so many battles... In the one we did win we had a lot of people that were actually playing and we rushed IBGY, got that, then it was no problem to take IBT, TP, Galv then move on to FWGY, FWRH, East and West towers and finally Drek. That was a maximum honor game. We had another battle where we were doing really good then someone decided to take SHGY which cause the Horde to start rezzing at FWRH and that coat us the battle right there. When will people learn? It is the same stupid mistakes over and over again that cost us so many battles along with all the AFK... Blizzard really needs to get their act together and do something about all the AFK in ALL the battlegrounds, it is really out of control. Once someone is marked AFK they should have 60 seconds to clear it or they are kicked from the battleground with a 24 hour deserter debuff. They get 3 of those in one month they get banned from the battlegrounds for a month, first offense. Second offense they are banned from the battlegrounds for life. What they are doing now, if anything, is definitely not working that is for sure.

Battlegrounds 9/1/08

I decided to head into the battlegrounds to see how the Alliance was doing in there. I picked up the daily, Arathi Basin, and headed in there. The Alliance is still doing pretty poor in there, it took me 3 battles to get my daily done. Between battles 2 and 3 in Arathi Basin I went into Eye of the Storm where it appears we are still doing well despite the fact people can't seem to follow simple directions. The plan was to get MT, DR and either FRR or BET before going for the flag. When the battle started 7 people went directly for the flag, so much for a plan. I headed to FRR, as I usually do unless we have assigned group positions, and we had a pretty good fight there as there were only 3 of us trying to get it from 5 Horde. We had a healer for a change and somehow managed to get it. At that point I noticed we also had BET, DR & MT so that gave us a 4 cap. We trapped the Horde on their rock and it was over pretty qiuck. After that I decided to see how we were doing in Alterac Valley. I went into the first one figuring someone would grab SHGY and it would be all over but that didn't happen, instead people moved forward in a group, with the exception of the AFK in the cave and the ones that run into DB at the start, as we took IBT, TP, Galv and moved up to FWGY. Everyone was working together and it showed what teamwork can do. From FWGY, which was not completely capped and empty when I got there..... we moved into Frostwolf Keep and took the relief hut and towers. When we downed Drek the Horde didn't have anything capped or capping in DB, they were just starting to get in. That was a Maximum honor game. Of course there are still the people that have no clue how AV works, someone, I assume they were in DB, was yelling hurry up because the Horde were going for Vann but with 2 towers up they could go for him all they want, they weren't going to get him. The second AV battle I was in didn't work out as well although we did win after close to an hour. We won that one on reinforcements and it was close, we won by about 140 reinforcements. That was due to too many people going for Galv at the start. I think a lot more battles would go a lot better if people just left Galv alone but in this case I guess it ended up helping in the end as we won on reinforcements. It seems the quality of players it getting a little better, not really good but good enough to win. On another note I have 100 Arathi Basin Mark of Honor, 100 Alterac Valley Mark of Honor, 100 Eye of the Storm Mark of Honor and 92 Warsong Gulch Mark of Honor. 100 marks are the most you can carry so I am almost maxed out on all the battlegrounds that give them. I also have 70,000 honor and the max on that is 75,000 so I will soon be maxed out on honor too.

Daily Fishing 9/1/08

Today's daily fishing quest had me heading over to the Pools of Aggonar (39,37) in Hellfire Peninsula to catch a Monstrous Felblood Snapper to complete Felblood Fillet. It took me 13 casts to get one and then I headed back to Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest to hand it in for my Bag of Fishing Treasures. When I opened that up I didn't find anything exciting, I got 6g79s91c, 5 Sharpened Fish Hooks and 4 Motes of Water. The Motes will come in handy though. There are still a lot of good rewards to be had from this quest so I will keep plugging away at it.

Brieanna 9/1/08

I was questing on Brieanna in Redridge today. I got her up to level 18 and headed into Stormwind to get my training done. I got a new gun for her, more damage than the last one I had and also got one that she will be able to use at level 28. I am only 12 levels away from a mount now so I should be riding soon. I will finish up what I can in Redridge then head on over to Darkshire to quest there.

Brieanna - 8/27/08

I did some more questing on Brieanna today and got her to 3/4 the way though level 16. I took some time out to do 2 runs through Deadmines on Wranngar for people that needed some help and also helped someone out in Redridge. Today Brieanna learned how to shoot and use a 2 handed sword. Most of my questing was in Westfall with a run to Redridge for a quest and into Stormwind for training when I hit 16. I also went to IronForge to learn how to use guns. Hopefully I will have her to level 18 or higher tomorrow.

Daily Fishing 8/27/08

The daily fishing quest had Wranngar heading over to the waterfall by Tuurem in Terokkar Forest. The quest was Bait Bandits and I was after the elusive Blackfin Darter. It wasn't that elusive today, I got one on my 4th cast. I headed back with that to Old Man Barlo, (40,59) at Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest and handed it in for my Bag of Fishing Treasures. I got 7g37s70c, 3 Elixirs of Water Walking and a Razor Sharp Fillet Knife. Nothing exciting today but at least I didn't get another Rusted Lock, that was getting old... I wil keep plugging away at this one because I know some day I will hit it big and get The 2 Ring which I can sell for around 2800g on the AH, plus there are still some nice rewards to be had from this daily.
