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.
