Stratholme 5/29/08

Three of us went into Stratholme tonight to do a few quests for Yonezoe. There was Wranngar, Yonezoe and Casandraa. Yonezoe ended up leveling up to 58 in there so she can now go to the Outlands and quest, that was one good thing that came out of it, about the only good thing. About half way through the instance I decided we should shoot for Deathcharger's Reins, a mount dropped by Baron Rivendare. When we finally got to the Slaughter House the gate was down and I couldn't figure out why. This was only the second time I had tried for the mount and it was only the second time I had gone that far into Strtatholme as the groups usually break up long before we ever get that far. Stratholme is a pretty hard instance and people get discouraged. We wiped twice by the time we got there and I was getting discouraged but I figured after all that we would see if the mount would drop for us. I was pretty upset not to be able to open the gate and get a shot at it. I looked online and couldn't find out why that gate would be down and I couldn't remember what we did before to open it so we ended up hearthing out of there. After we got back to Shattrath I really looked into it online and finally found that we had to clear 3 rooms after killing the mobs outside them to get the gate to open, we only cleared 2 :(. I went back hoping it hadn't rest yet but it had. Basically what I got out of it was a 14 gold repair bill and not even a chance at the mount.

Daily Cooking 5/29/08

I did the daily cooking quest today on Wranngar. It was Super Hot Stew again for the third day in a row, this one is getting old. I had to go to Blades Edge and kill some Wind Serpents and Lashtail Raptors to get some meat. Once I had that I cooked it up and flew over to Forge Camp Terror and killed an elemental. I cooked my stew over his carcass and was done. I picked Barrel of Fish for my reward but no recipe again today. The daily cooking quest pays 7g59s plus the reward which was some good fish. I didn't bother doing it on Gomorra as it was the same quest for the third day in a row.

Daily's 5/29/08

I did my Shattered Sun daily's on Wranngar today along with Gaining the Advantage. It took me about an hour to get them all done. I try to do the Shattered Sun daily's in a different order each day to break up the monotony or it would bored me to death. I did the bombing run in one pass today, yesterday it took me 2 passes to get it done I was lagging so bad. Usually the only time it takes me 2 runs is when I am really lagging or I take off right behind someone. If I take off right behind someone then I get to watch them kill everything in front of me and there is nothing left for me to kill. Altogether I made about 120 gold which I sent to the bank. The gold is piling up :).

Blackrock Depths 5/29/08

I helped out a friend, Skullmage, in Balckrock Depths today on Wranngar. We started out with a full group of 5, me, another Druid Mynasgurith, a Hunter who's name I didn't get before they left and a Paladin who's name I didn't get before they left and Skullmage. We were down to 3 in our group by the end, me, Skullmage and Mynasgurith. We didn't have too much of a problem anyway until we all had a DC. I was still alive when I got back on but the other 2 were dead. I tried to rez the Druid so they could rez the Mage but they were still disconnected so they didn't get the rez. They had to run back from the graveyard and were able to find their way back to where they died which was good because I don't know my way around in there, I am more PvP than Dungeons. They were able to get a couple quests done though then Skullmage had to leave so the group broke up before we finished. That is how instances I group for go, that's why I don't do too many of them. Before we got going we were waiting for the hunter to show up and one of the people in our group that we summoned in, Mynasgurith, was flagged for PvP. There were 4 or 5 Horde waiting there outside the instance so I kept an eye on them. I stealthed and just sat there. One of them flagged but they weren't causing any trouble so I left them alone. Sure enough not too long after Mynasgurith got there one of them decided it would be fun to attack him, turned out it wasn't much fun for them. I got the 2 that were flagged and the others wisely decided not to join in. When they came back I just let them go, no honor in killing someone that low, I just did it the first time for payback.

I am still working on getting him a Talbuk which is a Rep Reward from the Kurenai.

Daily Cooking 5/28/08

I did the daily cooking quest today on Wranngar. It was Super Hot Stew again. I had to go to Blades Edge and kill some Wind Serpents and Lashtail Raptors to get some meat. Once I had that I cooked it up and flew over to Forge Camp Terror and killed an elemental. I cooked my stew over his carcass and was done. I picked Barrel of Fish for my reward but no recipe again today. The daily cooking quest pays 7g59s plus the reward which was some good fish.

Yonezoe 5/28/08

I only got to spend a little time with Yonezoe today in Silithus before she had to log off. I helped her on Wranngar. I think she said she had 6 bars to go until she reached 57. Tomorrow we will probably head back to Eastern Plaguelands and try to get her to 58 so she can head into the Outlands where you can level a lot faster. I think one of the reasons you level so fast in the Outlands, especially when you first get there, is the fact that things start attacking you as soon as you walk through the portal and they just don't stop, it is non-stop action.

Daily's 5/28/08

I did all my Shattered Sun daily's on Wranngar today plus Gaining the Advantage. It didn't take me too long and I was able to send 165 gold to the bank. I also got enough Heavy Clefthoof leather to make another Clefthide Leg Armor kit which I will put on the auction house for no less that 90 gold buyout. I usually get anywhere from 90-120 gold for one depending on what the market is. Any Clefthide Leg Armor kit's listed for under 90 gold when I want to list mine I just buy out and relist, I have made some nice gold doing that too, I got 2 for 70 gold each the other day and resold them for 90 gold making 40 gold profit for nothing :).

Scholomance 5/29/08

I helped out Beanaste today in Scholomance on Wranngar. We had a couple more friends there too, Totomoyo and Jacedic. Beanaste was after pieces of the Dreadmist set. I had the belt to the set in the bank and I don't even remember when I got it but it had to have been from Scholomance or Stratholme because that is the only 2 places it drops. We had a pretty good time and he ended up getting the gloves to go with the belt.

Sylventa II 5/28/08

I worked on Sylventa's first aid a little more today, she now has first aid skill of 225. I am not worried about leveling her right now because me and Axeelina will be leveling another set of characters as soon as she is done leveling Yonezoe and this is the one I am going to level. We leveled Wranngar and Axeelina together and it was a lot of fun and it is much easier to level with someone. Yonezoe is level 56 now so it will not be long until she reaches 70. I was on Wranngar last night farming a Blood Elf Bandit Mask for Sylventa when someone I lent some gold to happened to come on and say they had one. I told them I would knock 20 gold off their tab for it and they agreed so I was able to go to sleep, that worked out well for me :).

Sylventa 5/28/08

I worked on my other Druid, Sylventa, a little bit today. She is level 11, her fishing is 110, her cooking is 116 and her first aid is 150. I am going to try to level fishing, cooking and first aid on this one as I go along but I always say that :). With any luck I will on this one though. The problem is when you are questing and leveling you don't want to take the time to work on secondary skills so they suffer then you suffer later when you have to level them up. I know I will get her first aid up, she will have 375 first aid before level 40 like Wranngar did. Wranngar is Feral Spec'd and Sylventa is going to be Resto. I have never tried a healer so this will be a new experience for me, we will see how it works out. I might level her up to around 50 Feral then respec to Resto as it is harder to level Resto/Healer characters.

Daily Cooking 5/27/08

I did the daily cooking quest today on Wranngar. It was Super Hot Stew. I had to go to Blades Edge and kill some Wind Serpents and Lashtail Raptors to get some meat. Once I had that I cooked it up and flew over to Forge Camp Terror and killed an elemental. I cooked my stew over his carcass and was done. I picked Barrel of Fish for my reward but no recipe again today. I didn't do the cooking on Gomorra today. The daily cooking quest pays 7g59s plus the reward which was some fish, nothing special.
