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 :).

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.
