Sneaking in a Little Bit of WoW

Hi,

Alliance (Brits United lvl 25) on Draenor:

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 537
Draenybrit (90) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing) - iLvL 489
Blizzybrit (90) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting) - iLvL 479
Flictionbrit (90) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering) - iLvL 481
Fengsuibrit (90) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking) - iLvL 505
Gnomeybrit (90) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting) - iLvl 515
Boomybrit (90) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription) - iLvL 489
Raidbrit (10) - Doesn't matter

Alliance (Brits United lvl 6) on Venture Co:

Unstablebrit (87) - Human/Warlock (Mining/Skinning)
Elfybrit (60) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Shadybrit (60) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Pallybrit (83) - Human/Paladin (Mining/Tailoring)
Smashbrit (23) - Panderan/Warrior (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Shamwowbrit (31) - Panderan/Shaman (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Dwarfybrit (26) - Dwarf/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Shaolinbrit (21) - Panderan/Monk (Herbalism/Alchemy)

Neutral (no guild) on Venture Co:

Doubleabrit (21) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Herbalism)

Horde (Britannia lvl 5) on Ravenholdt:

Priestybrit (39) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (25) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Cuteybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (29) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (23) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (27) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (23) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

So, while my parents are over visiting, I've been only able to play a little bit in the mornings and maybe a bit on the occasional evening. So, I haven't made a lot of progress this week.

Timeless Isle: I've been doing a bit, mostly on Flaying and Fengsui. Fengsui got to 46K coins and did a gambling run. After opening about 150 chests, she got 2 burdens, and 20 Timeless pieces. I now have about 225 pieces and am starting to think about cutting down on the ones I have most of.

The Farm: Still doing it on all my Draenor toons. It's usually the morning task. The thing of note at the moment is that I'm getting Motes and Ore on Draeny to craft the Living Steel weapons. She's just done the 476 one, and will be able to update it 502 in about a week.

Other than that, it's been Pally, Pally, Pally. Pally got to 80 and gave the level 80 Heirlooms to Smash. Now she's just made 83 and will be heading to Uldum next (may favorite zone!).

The Alliance guild is now level 6 and 25%. Achievements are stuck on 4225.

The plan for next week is to level Pally, and maybe some others, and dabble in Timeless Isle (I want to see where these Vision of Time quests are going to end up).

Outside of WoW, we had a great Christmas, and have been to lots of parties and hosted a great dinner party. So, we're kind of partied out and looking forward to a quiet New Year, after we celebrate on New Year's Eve.

I hope you all had a great Christmas, and Happy New Year to you all.

Cheers.

A Little Bit of Everthing

Hi,

Alliance (Brits United lvl 25) on Draenor:

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 537
Draenybrit (90) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing) - iLvL 488
Blizzybrit (90) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting) - iLvL 479
Flictionbrit (90) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering) - iLvL 481
Fengsuibrit (90) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking) - iLvL 498
Gnomeybrit (90) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting) - iLvl 515
Boomybrit (90) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription) - iLvL 489
Raidbrit (10) - Doesn't matter

Alliance (Brits United lvl 5) on Venture Co:

Unstablebrit (87) - Human/Warlock (Mining/Skinning)
Elfybrit (60) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Shadybrit (60) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Pallybrit (76) - Human/Paladin (Mining/Tailoring)
Smashbrit (23) - Panderan/Warrior (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Shamwowbrit (31) - Panderan/Shaman (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Dwarfybrit (26) - Dwarf/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Shaolinbrit (21) - Panderan/Monk (Herbalism/Alchemy)

Neutral (no guild) on Venture Co:

Doubleabrit (21) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Herbalism)

Horde (Britannia lvl 5) on Ravenholdt:

Priestybrit (39) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (25) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Cuteybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (29) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (23) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (27) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (23) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

The week started off with lots of Timeless Isle on a fw characters. Boomy transferred to Draenor and got the burden chest. Gnomey gambled with 25k and got 10 Timeless pieces and 3 burdens!! That's why her gear went up to 515. I'm up to 198 Timeless pieces in storage too, for when others get to 90. I stopped doing Timeless Isle when I realized I was getting too many pieces.

Oh, I started working on the reborn weapons on Draeny too. I only found out about this recently, and I'll eventually get to craft some 502 weapons. Gnomey also has crafted a few Royal Satchels and is using two herself and made 2 for Flaying. I hope all my main characters will have 2 by the time WoD ships.

With Flaying, I've been getting all the Pandaren cooking done, but growing the stuff on the farm, and buying what else I need with Ironpaw tokens. All done now.

I've been leveling Unstable, Pally, and Shamwow too. Unstable has finished Fade Forest, the first part of VFW, and is now headed to Kun-Lai Summit. Pally is now in Shloz Basin and is leveling really quickly because of the heirlooms. Once she gets to 80, the heirlooms will go to Smashbrit. Shamwow is the other toon with lots of heirlooms, and is leveling really quickly too.

Here's the overall plan. Main toons will be the ones on Draenor now, plus Pally. All others will just get to 90 and be done. Pally is different because I want two tailors at max level.

Oh, I did level doublea a bit, but I got disheartened when I found out you'll only get 10xp per herb and node after about level 30, and also that I can't do Pet Battle dailies and complete them on doublea, because I haven't cleared all the Battlers in EK yet.

So, The Venture Co Alliance guild is level 5 and 68%. No Horde play again this week. Achievements have gone up to 4225, with the latest two being Master of the Wok, and Master of Pandaren Cooking.

The plan for next week is to really concentrate on leveling Unstable, Pally, Shamwow, and probably Smash (because she'll get the heirlooms from Pally).

Of course, to all my readers. Have a very Merry Christmas.

Cheers.

A New Side Project

Hi,

Alliance (Brits United lvl 25) on Draenor:

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 533
Draenybrit (90) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing) - iLvL 487
Blizzybrit (90) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting) - iLvL 479
Flictionbrit (90) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering) - iLvL 481
Fengsuibrit (90) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking) - iLvL 498
Gnomeybrit (90) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting) - iLvl 506
Raidbrit (10) - Doesn't matter

Alliance (Brits United lvl 5) on Venture Co:

Boomybrit (90) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription) - iLvL 467
Unstablebrit (85) - Human/Warlock (Mining/Skinning)
Elfybrit (60) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Shadybrit (60) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Pallybrit (71) - Human/Paladin (Mining/Tailoring)
Smashbrit (23) - Panderan/Warrior (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Shamwowbrit (29) - Panderan/Shaman (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Dwarfybrit (26) - Dwarf/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Shaolinbrit (21) - Panderan/Monk (Herbalism/Alchemy)

Neutral (no guild) on Venture Co:

Doubleabrit (18) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Herbalism)

Horde (Britannia lvl 5) on Ravenholdt:

Priestybrit (39) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (25) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Cuteybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (29) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (23) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (27) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (23) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

So, did you notice? The new neutral Panderan on Venture Co.? That's right, just leveling with Mining and Herbalism and seeing how high I can get. I was inspired by Doubleagent who has already made it to 78 on Wandering Isle! He took Herbalism and Inscription to mill and make money. I figured I didn't need any money, so I'm mining and herbing, and vendoring everything. It will be interesting to see how much XP this gives at higher levels. At the moment, mining and herbing (peacebloom/silverleaf) gives 110 XP, with herbing earthroot giving 140 XP out of 14,200 needed for level 19. Of course, it's double when rested.

What else have I been up to? Timeless Isle, that's what. My good friend Eccentrica showed me how to get to the guaranteed Burden of Eternity Chest on the Isle. So, I did that on all my Draenor toons. I'm still getting tons of Timeless pieces also, so I had to create a spreadsheet to keep track. I currently have 157 pieces. That's why I transferred Gnomey over too, to make the Netherweave bags to store them all (and for enchants of course).

I'm also still doing the farm on my level 90s as detailed in the last blog post. I did get to play Unstable and Shamwow a bit, but I didn't play a great deal this week. That's because my Mum and Step-dad arrived from South Wales and I've been spending time with them. They've headed off for a few days though, so I'm back to playing now.

The Alliance Venture Co guild is now at level 5 and 19%. No Horde play this week. Achievements went up to 4160, with the only new one this week - The Anglers (by Gnomey). This gives me the Water Strider now, which is great because I can now chase after Evermaw on Timeless Isle :)

The plan for next week is to take it as it comes. Maybe concentrate on Doublea, or level Unstable, Pally, or the Pandaren army. Maybe play lots of Timeless Isle. All will be revealed next Monday :)

Cheers.

Waiting for 5.4.2

HI,

Alliance (Brits United lvl 25) on Draenor:

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 532
Draenybrit (90) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing) - iLvL 480
Blizzybrit (90) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting) - iLvL 465
Flictionbrit (90) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering) - iLvL 473
Fengsuibrit (90) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking) - iLvL 495
Raidbrit (10) - Doesn't matter

Alliance (Brits United lvl 4) on Venture Co:

Gnomeybrit (90) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting) - iLvl 501
Boomybrit (90) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription) - iLvL 467
Unstablebrit (84) - Human/Warlock (Mining/Skinning)
Elfybrit (60) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Shadybrit (60) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Pallybrit (70) - Human/Paladin (Mining/Tailoring)
Smashbrit (23) - Panderan/Warrior (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Shamwowbrit (27) - Panderan/Shaman (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Dwarfybrit (26) - Dwarf/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Shaolinbrit (21) - Panderan/Monk (Herbalism/Alchemy)

Horde (Britannia lvl 5) on Ravenholdt:

Priestybrit (39) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (25) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Cuteybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (29) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (23) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (27) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (23) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

Yep, waiting for 5.4.2, so that I can get Heirlooms on my Draenor toons, and mail them over to the Venture Co. ones.

With that being said, what am I up to? A bit of everything. I've been doing the Tillers farm on all Draenor toons, and Gnomey and Boomy (just got exalted lately). Here's what they are planting for at the moment:

Flaying - crops for leveling Way of the X cooking (and gets Trillium bars off Draeny for Living Steel)
Draeny - Ore for Balanced Trillium Ingot
Blizzy - Mote of Harmony to make Primal Diamonds (also gets Ore off others and is learning a new JC recipe every day)
Fliction - Ore for Jard's Peculiar Energy Source
Fengsui - Leather for Hardened Magnificent Hide
Gnomey - Cloth for Celestial Cloth and Imperial Silk
Boomy - Herbs for Milling

I've also been doing Timeless Isle on Fengsui, Fliction, and Flaying. It's getting a bit ridiculous now though, because I have over 110 Timeless pieces in Flaying and Draeny's banks. Also, I created Raidbrit on my second account, because some quests require you to get into Siege of Orgrimmar. Just needed to get to level 10 to form a Raid Group.

I also leveled Shoalin up and got all the profs to 75 for DMF. Shamwobrit got some playing and is leveling up. I also spent quite a bit of time leveling Unstablebrit. She will be my next level 90.

No Horde play at all, and I really can't imagine any in the near future.

So, the Alliance Venture Co guild is level 4 and 84% and the Horde one stays at level 5 and 10%. Achievements are up to 4150, with the last two being 1000 Daily quests complete and The Panderan Gourmet (both by Flaying).

The plan for next week is to continue working the farm on all 90s, do less Timeless Isle, and level Unstable and Shamwow.

Cheers.

An Amry of Pandaren

Hi,

Alliance (Brits United lvl 25) on Draenor:

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 530
Draenybrit (90) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing) - iLvL 480
Blizzybrit (90) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting) - iLvL 461
Flictionbrit (90) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering) - iLvL 473
Fengsuibrit (90) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking) - iLvL 485

Alliance (Brits United lvl 3) on Venture Co:

Gnomeybrit (90) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting) - iLvl 501
Boomybrit (90) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription) - iLvL 463
Unstablebrit (80) - Human/Warlock (Mining/Skinning)
Elfybrit (60) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Shadybrit (60) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Pallybrit (70) - Human/Paladin (Mining/Tailoring)
Smashbrit (23) - Panderan/Warrior (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Shamwowbrit (22) - Panderan/Shaman (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Dwarfybrit (21) - Dwarf/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Shaolinbrit (7) - Panderan/Monk (Herbalism/Alchemy)

Horde (Britannia lvl 5) on Ravenholdt:

Priestybrit (39) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (25) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Cuteybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (29) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (23) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (27) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (23) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

in (Of the Forums) on Borean Tundra:

Draenybrit (30) - Draenei/Priest (Mining/Tailoring)

With the scuppering of the idea of getting 100 100s, I needed to come up with a new goal. I decided to take advantage of Blizzard's 75% off and upgrade a second account to MoP and start a third account for $15. The idea is to try and get the Stay Classy achievement for the Brits United guild on Draenor/Echo Isles. 22 on the first account, and 22 on the second. Then close down the second and get 13 more on the third.

So, I'm starting on Classy Panderan. I have a Hunter already, and have started a Shaman, Warrior, and Monk. I also started a Dwarf Priest on the second account, so I could do guild invites. For Panderan, I just to start a Priest, Maage, and Rogue, or maybe I'll leave one of those for the free boost to 90 with Warlords of Draenor. I farmed for JPs on Gnomey, and got an Heirloom Robe for Dwarfy.

It was really fun doing the low level zones again, and questing on Venture Co is really good because there is no competition for anything, and rare killing is the norm. I did try to level Draenybrit on Borean Tundra a bit, but it was just a pain. So, I'm not going to level Draeny any more there. In fact, I may just sell everything, gift it all to the gift bank, and delete her. I tried playing as a normal player, and failed :)

What else? Well, got Unstable to 80, and Pally to 70. They will be the next two 90s. I also geared up some of my 90s quite a bit. Gnomey got enough Celestial cloth for a piece for herself, and I've been playing Fengsui quite a bit on Timeless Isle to get stuff. Flaying has also upgraded quite a few pieces with valor and got up to 530. Flaying also finished off Karasang Wilds, and got the Loremaster of Pandaria achievement.

No Horde play this week :)

So, the Alliance Venture Co guild is level 3 and 66% and the Horde one stays at level 5 and 10%. Achievements are up to 4120, with the last two being Master of the Grill and Lil' Game Hunter.

The plan for next week is to get all the Alliance toons through DMF. Also, farm for more JPs for more Heirlooms, and level up the Panderan army.

Cheers.

Big Changes are Afoot

Hi,

Alliance (Brits United lvl 25) on Draenor:

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 529
Draenybrit (90) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing) - iLvL 479
Blizzybrit (90) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting) - iLvL 461
Flictionbrit (90) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering) - iLvL 473

Alliance (Brits United lvl 2) on Venture Co:

Gnomeybrit (90) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting) - iLvl 495
Boomybrit (90) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription) - iLvL 463
Fengsuibrit (90) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking) - iLvL 466
Unstablebrit (76) - Human/Warlock (Mining/Skinning)
Elfybrit (60) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Shadybrit (60) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Pallybrit (68) - Human/Paladin (Mining/Tailoring)

Horde (Britannia lvl 5) on Ravenholdt:

Priestybrit (39) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (25) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Cuteybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (29) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (23) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (27) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (23) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

That's right. I took the plunge and starting transferring toons to a PVE realm (Draenor, that's merged with Echo Isles). I transferred the guild with Flaying, and then transferred Blizzy for gems, Draeny to supply Flaying with stuff for Living Steel, and Fliction so that the 600 Engineering would come in that guild.

Well, what's it like on Draenor? Bloody crowded, that's what :) Timeless Isle is packed at all hours of the day, and that makes getting the 20 kills pretty difficult. But, there are always people calling out rares, grouping for Celestials etc., so it's not bad at all. And, not getting attacked by the Horde is wonderful. That alone makes it a great decision. Flaying got 3 Burdens of Eternity, and upgraded the 553 gear with Valor, so she's now rocking 529 iLvL.

Fliction got Engineering to 600 (well, 615 actually) so I got the Working Better as a Team achievement giving me access to the Heirloom Legs. Not that I can use it on anyone on Draenor, but when 5.4.2 hits, you can send them to different servers, so I'll be able to use it there.

What have the others been doing? Well, Gnomey has been doing August Celestials and got Exalted and made 2 Royal Satchels for herself. She's doing the Celestial Cloth and Imperial Silk every day. Fengsui has been doing Molten Front and is now only a couple of days from getting the 36 slot mining bag recipe. She also did a lit bit of LFR. Multi-shot is so fun on Trash :)

Unstable and Pally got some play, leveling a bit, and that's how the guild got to level 2. Oh yeah, Boomy made it to 90 too, making it 7 level 90s.

Horde characters got a little bit of play, Fuzzy especially.

And, here's another brand new development:

On Borean Tundra, Of the Forums guild:

Draenybrit (24) - Draenei/Priest (Mining/Tailoring)

Another toon in a normal guild, on a regular CRZ server. Crazy I know. It was a guild started on the WoW forums, and I decided to give it a try. AH and everything. I really don't know if I'm going to play her much though, because leveling in CRZ is really a pain. It has convinced me more that ever. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

OK, Alliance guild on Venture Co is at level 2 and 2%. The Horde guild is level 5 and 10%. Achievements have moved on to 4040, with the last two being Got My Mind on my Money and Wilaing Caverns (Draeny on BT).

Plan for next week is to keep gearing up level 90s, leveling the others on Venture Co, and maybe transferring one or two more over to Draenor. As I said, I don't know if I will continue on BT, we'll see what happens. I hope to play the Horde somewhat this week.

Cheers.

6 Level 90s

Alliance (Brits United):

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 515
Draenybrit (90) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing) - iLvL 474
Gnomeybrit (90) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting) - iLvl 495
Blizzybrit (90) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting) - iLvL 461
Flictionbrit (90) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering) - iLvL 468
Boomybrit (88) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (90) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking) - iLvL 462
Unstablebrit (73) - Human/Warlock (Mining/Skinning)
Elfybrit (60) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Shadybrit (60) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Pallybrit (64) - Human/Paladin (Mining/Tailoring)

Horde (Britannia):

Priestybrit (39) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (25) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Cuteybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (29) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (23) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (25) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (23) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

That's right. I got both Fengsui and Fliction to 90 over the past week. They both got to 90 in Townlong Steppes and then did Arena of Annihilation for the 450 weapon, and geared up with Timeless pieces Flaying had been collecting. Even with 6 for Fengsui, and 8 for Fliction, she still has 41 pieces in the bank for the other toons. Flaying has been spending a bit of time on Timeless Isle, but I'm still getting fed up with getting attacked by the Horde when I'm minding my own business. I do hope the Connected Realms get moving, so I can decide where to transfer to.

Fliction and Fengsui are also working on LW and Eng (the last two profs that aren't 600 yet). Fliction got the recipe for Sky Golem, so is working on the daily mat for that, and is looking to craft Blingtron soon. Fengsui hasn't got the Hardened Magnificent Hide pattern yet, but is working on making Magnificent Hides for when she does get it. Flaying is also helping out by planting Raptorleaf on her farm. Fengsui is also doing the MF dailies to get the 36 mining bag pattern.

Gnomeybrit is of course working on both Celestial cloth and Imperial Silk, and is almost Exalted with August Celestials for the Royal Satchel pattern.

Other than that, I'm now working on getting Boomy to 90, and also playing Unstable a bit to get her up there. I'm trying not to do too much high level stuff (try to do daily stuff in the morning), and concentrate on leveling mostly.

Horde got a bit of play this week, but not much. Priesty and Herby got a bit of play.

So, I've had a crazy idea, after seeing the announcement that levels will go to 100 in WoD. Here it is. What if I were to attempt to get 100 level 100s? Think about it. That's just 2 accounts. The idea would be to have 60 (probably Alliance) on a 3-way connected realm, and 40 (probably Horde) on a 2-way connected realm. Crazy? Yes. But crazy is as crazy does. This is why I want to concentrate on leveling so much. Each level I get is 1 out of the 10,000 I need :)

So, the Horde guild got to level 5 and about 8%. Achievements went up to 3940, with the only one this week being Quintessential Quartet.

The plan for next week is to level Boomy to 90, get my LW and Eng to 600, and work on Unstable. I may well play Horde a bit too.

Cheers.

Blizzcon baby!

Hi,

Yep, I actually got to go to Blizzcon this year. I drove down on Thursday, and after battling with LA traffic, I got to the Hotel about 4pm. I went to get my ticket around 5pm, and there was a massive line. I stood in line for about one and a half hours before getting my ticket. Off to a bar for some pizza and beer before heading back to the hotel, and playing a bit of WoW.

Friday was the big day. We all got to the Center way ahead of time, and they let us in about 2 hours before the first WoW announcements. When I got a seat, there was an hour and a half before it started. Sat next to a really nice young couple from Tuscon, and we chatted, making the time fly by.

Then came the announcements. My gosh, Chris Metzen is absolutely excellent. The way he announced what was going on in Warlords of Draenor was brilliant. BTW, I'm not going to go into all the details, you can see them on the wow forums, or wowhead.

For the rest of the day, and the next day, I went to whatever WoW panels were on, and also managed to play the first zone of the expansion (Shadowmoom Valley, as Alliance). It was really fun, but I died a couple of times though it. Then I did it again and didn't die at all. I'll be ready once it ships :)

I had a blast at the convention, and even managed to get a bit of WoW play time at the Hotel room.

So:

Most of my time was spent on Fengsui this week. Getting LW past 450 and trying to get to 500. She's also started on the Hyjal Daily quests, to get the Mining bag pattern. She's also part way through Jade Forest, and is having an easier time that pretty much any of my other toons. Unstable got a bit of play, but I gave up the idea of her helping out on Savage Leather. Too much leveling to do right now.

Pally also got a bit of play and zoomed up to level 64 with a few dungeons and quests in Zang. The Heirlooms are still making leveling go extremely fast. I think half of Nagrand and more dungeons and she'll be at 68.

A little bit of high level play, with Flaying heading over to Timeless Isle, and Gnomey continuing to grind August Celestials (for Royal Satchel pattern). She's Revered right now. She also got the 28 Celestial Cloth and made the 553 legs for Flaying.

Horde got some play with the DMF quests, and some of them actually leveled. Horde guild is now level 4 and 85%.

Achievements have crept up to 3890, with Finish Them! and Greedy being the latest two (both accomplished by Gnomey).

The plan for next week is to level Fengsui to 90 and get LW to 600. Then work on Pally a bit (I love the idea of having another high level Tailor). We'll see how much high level stuff, and maybe even some Horde stuff, I squeeze in.

BTW: The realm transfer is on hold, until I see how all the realm connections shake out.

Cheers.

Preparing for Realm Transfer

Hi,

Alliance (Brits United):

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 510

Beastybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (24) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (22) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

I spent some of the week doing high level stuff, and some of it leveling Fengsui and Unstable, looking to get my LW to 600. This really is the last thing I need to do before I transfer off The Venture Co. The bonus to skinning while in a level 25 guild is too much to give up.

Fengsui got almost all the way through Northrend LW on her own, and hardly had to rely on Unstable at all. That's because, at 400, you can make Fur Linings with Eternium Thread, and don't need any Borean Leather at all. Now it's DMF, and I'm trying to get through most of Cata before getting the +5.

The high level stuff I'm doing is mostly on Gnomey and Draeny. Gnomey for Celestial Cloth and Imperial Silk (for the Royal Satchel). She's grinding August Celestials to get to exalted to get the pattern. Also, farming up Windwool Cloth (on the farm) to get enough for the two cooldowns per day. Gnomey is also the main one going to Timeless Isle, and I've got 496 tokens coming out of my ears now. I'm starting to get lots of duplicates, so I might stop going there for a while.

Draeny has been making the Balanced Trillium Ingot, and also spent a little time on Timeless Isle. Boy, it's pretty tough on you at 450 odd iLvL before you get the buffs on the island. She stopped doing it after getting ganked by Horde a few times, which hardened my resolve to get off this PvP realm.

Here's the plan. Transfer the guild to one of the PVE connected realms. Transfer the characters 85 and up. Continue leveling the others on Venture Co., and only transfer when they get to 85. That way, I can level CRZ free.

My Horde got a tiny bit of play time. The Horde guild is now level 4 and 78%. The Alliance guild is level 25. Achievements have gone up to 3870 now, with the last two being Hemet Nesingwary: The Collected Quests and The Snows of Northrend (completed by Fengsui).

I didn't play as much this week because we went up to Tahoe for the weekend.

The plan for next week is to continue to level Fengsui and thus LW as well, and level Unstable probably so that she can help with Savage Leather. Play time will again be reduced though, because - I'm of to Blizzcon!!!

I'll report back on all the goings on at Blizzcon next week, or maybe have a special blog post from there before that.

Cheers.

Guild Level 25!!!

Hi,

Beastybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (24) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (22) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

Yes. I finally did it. Got my Alliance guild to level 25 on Saturday. I started in April, so it took about 6 months. I'm sort of lost now, and really should be leveling the Horde one now, but I'm gearing up my 90s instead.

I played a lot on Flaying, doing most of the Hallows end achievements, but I've stopped due to the stupid Stop the Fires quest. Tried in Goldshire with a couple of others, no luck. Went to Azure Front and soloed it on the third try. So, got one pumpkin head. I'm not doing that anymore. LOL One time where CRZ would have been good :)


I also did Timeless Isle on both Flaying and Gnomey, doing the daily, and weeklies, and getting the weekly chests. I actually took Draeny there too, but at 452 (at the time) she had a really tough time there. I'll get here a bit more geared up before going back.

Flaying also did a couple of wings of LFR and capped Valor. Gnomey then capped Valor yesterday too, so I won't be playing them today. Flaying is also working on Loremaster, and got Twolong Steppes finished up.

In other news, Fliction and Fengsui got some play. I want my Engineering and LW to get to high levels. I've just lost focus a bit, because of not getting guild XP any more.

So, the Alliance guild is level 25, with the Horde guild at level 4 and 73%. Achievements have gone up to 3820, with the last two being Bomberman, and Two Steppes forward, One Steppe back.

I don't have a plan for next week. Will it be leveling Alliance, gearing up my 90s, playing Horde? I really don't know right now. Maybe a combination of all of it :)

Cheers.

Staying Focused!

Hi,

Alliance (Brits United):

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 504
Draenybrit (90) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing) - iLvL 439

Elfybrit (60) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Shadybrit (60) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Pallybrit (60) - Human/Paladin (Mining/Tailoring)

Horde (Britannia):

Priestybrit (37) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)

Shammybrit (22) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (24) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (22) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

That's right. Totally focused on Guild XP this week. Leveling Pally, Fliction, Unstable, and doing dailies mostly on Draeny (to get Exalted with Tillers), and doing some stuff on Flaying I will get to later.

Leveling Unstable for Knothide leather to help get Fengsui's LW to 350. This went very well, and I only needed to farm for a few Fel Scales right at the end. Having 2 skinners to supply LW is working out really well so far. I really want to get Fengsui's LW up for: 1. Firelands dailies for the 36 slot Mining bag pattern. 2. Hardened Magnificent Hide for the 553 Leather and Mail gear.

Pally zoomed to 60. I've never leveled anyone so fast before. I cut out huge areas of my usual leveling, because Pally was getting so much XP from the heirlooms. This did mean that Tailoring got left behind a bit, but Gnomey just ran dungeons to get the necessary cloth. Once Runecloth is done, there is masses of Netherweave cloth in the Guild Bank, and all toons will be getting more Frostweave cloth and Embersilk cloth etc. so this won't be an issue any more.

OK, on to Flaying. She's been doing the Holloween stuff. Each bucket is a quest that gives guild XP, and the dailes and main quest line gave tons too. Flaying did all of EK buckets, and has now moved on to Kamildor.

Well, I said I stayed focused on Guild XP, but I did have a break last night. I took Flaying back to Timeless Isle for some mindless fun, and got more familiar with the place, ready for when I don't have to worry about guild XP any more.

So, the Alliance guild is now level 24 and 60%!!!! My first level 25 guild is just around the corner. The Horde guild is still level 4 and 73%. Achievements are at 3575 with the last two being 2000 quests completed and Rotten Hallow.

The goals for next week are 1. Get the Alliance guild to 25. 2. Gear up my level 90s.

Cheers.

A new member appears

Powerbrit (22) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

A new member? That's right, and not Ranged DPS either. A Human Ret Paladin. Here's the deal. I got a Timeless Plate Cache from Timeless Isle. I realized that my BS could make 553 Plate gear. So, what use will that be if I don't have a Plate user. I toyed with making a DK, but thought that starting at level 1 would really give the Guild XP a real boost. I was certainly right about that. I bought the Chest and Shoulder Heirlooms with DMF tickets, and ground out JPs on Flaying to get the Two-Hander. I bought the cape and helm. So Pally is whizzing through the zones and levels. Mining so that she can supply Ghost Iron Ore to Draeny. Tailoring so that I can get 2 Celestial Cloth per day for gear for all my cloth wearers.

So, what else has been going on? A lot!

Gnomey made the 553 belt for Flaying, and this pushed Flaying to 496 (exactly right for SOO LFR). I read up on the 4 fights and entered LFR. Got the first boss down fine, I got a Cloak. Got the 2nd boss down on the 2nd try, I got a Ring. Wiped twice on the 3rd boss, and I had to leave. So, real fun and I got some gear. While queuing, Flaying completed all of the Dread Wastes quests.

Then I decided to focus entirely on Guild leveling. Draeny got to 90 and started to do some dailies and Dread Wastes quests (to get Honored with Klaxxi for the Belt Buckle recipe). She also got the Balanced Trillium recipe, and has started making them. Fliction got to 85, and made it part way through Jade Forest. Fengsui got to 70, and Unstable started in Outland.

Saving all the cloth from Outland onward (and have some Runecloth already saved) for when Pally gets there, but it's going to be a bit of a grind for Silk and Mageweave.

Also, all the Horde gang went to DMF and so they actually got played a bit this week.

The Alliance guild is now level 23 and 98%! The Horde guild is level 4 and 73%. Achievements are now at 3485, with the last two being Terrific Trio, and Dread Haste Make Dread Waste.

The plan for next week is to continue to make Celestial Cloth and Balanced Trillium, and to level all the other toons. The plan is to NOT do high level content that doesn't contribute to Guild XP. I can really taste 25 right now!

Cheers.

Making my mind up

Hi,

Alliance (Brits United):

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 492
Draenybrit (88) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (90) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting) - iLvl 481

Unstablebrit (60) - Human/Warlock (Mining/Skinning)
Elfybrit (60) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Shadybrit (60) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)

Horde (Britannia):

Priestybrit (36) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (24) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Cuteybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (24) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (22) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (23) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (22) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

Yep. I've trouble making my mind up what to focus on each day these days. Run LFR and cap Valor? Level lower level toons? Work on getting others to 90?

Well, I've done a bit of all that this week. I mostly focused on Gnomey, and getting her all geared up. She was the one to cap Valor this week, giving the Valor of the Acients buff. Basically, to cap Valor, I do a Scenario and Heroic Dungeon, some dailies, and then maybe LFR. Gnomey got to iLvL 480 and then hit ToT LFR. With a successful wing, she's now Friendly with Shado-Pan Assault and can start buying the 522 Valor gear. A 502 Staff dropped in ToT which was great also. Oh yeah, 19 Celestial Cloth now. Only 2 more days for the 553 belt.

Focusing on lower level toons, I got Fliction to 83 and off to Uldum. I also got Fengsui to 65 and am in Nagrand doing the Hemet quests. Fengsui did indeed visit DMF and get 300 in LW. Now at about 325 with all the Knothide Leather and scraps I'd been saving up. Unstable is yet to step into Outland, so there will be lots from her also.

Draeny and Boomy are both leveling in Pandaria, and Draeny has finished with Jade Forest, barely touched VFW and is now in Kun-Lai summit. I'm trying to establish a tried and true path through Pandaria just like I have with all other zones. I've got Jade Forest down (just do all quests associated with Jade Shipment etc. and ignore the other side quests). Also, in VFW, just the first few by Pang's Stead and get to Halfhill for the farm, before going to the Veiled Stair. Still trying to work out the best way through Kun-Lai.

Most of the Alliance have been to DMF already, and that's really help withe the guild XP.

The guild is now level 23 and 22%. Achievements are now at 3340 with the last two being Heroic Scarlet Halls, and Pandaria Dungeon Hero. No progress on the Horde side again this week.

The plan for next week is to lay off gearing up the level 90s, and really focus on leveling, dailies, and guild XP. Also, I will be taking all the Horde toons through DMF, so there will actually be a little bit of Horde progress this week.

My Shoulder is gradually getting better. I've had a couple of Physical Therapy sessions, and am doing shoulder exercises every day. Slowly but surely.

Cheers.

On to Outland

Hi,

Alliance (Brits United):

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 492

Unstablebrit (60) - Human/Warlock (Mining/Skinning)
Elfybrit (60) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Shadybrit (60) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)

Horde (Britannia):

Priestybrit (36) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (24) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Cuteybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (24) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (22) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (23) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (22) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

So, it's off to Outland for all the toons that haven't got their yet. Totally finished on the Alliance side with all things Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms. Now to empty my guild bank of all old world items and vendor all the best things to make with them. I have about a tab and a half of stuff.

I've been playing Flaying, Gnomey, and Blizzy quite a bit. Flaying got exalted with Shieldwall and got the Great Gryphon mount. Really nice. I use it for all my toons now. Flaying also got to 10K and got the 7th Guild bank slot. I looked at what it takes to get the 8th, and it's only unlocked with 'Stay Classy' guild achievement, which is totally out of reach :) Flaying has been doing LFR, and capping Valor and all sorts of stuff and got up to 492 iLvL. She's done with Timeless Isle though. Not much point going there solo. Groups are what TI is all about. Soon, I will have the 553 belt, because Gnomey has 11 Celestial Cloth and only needs 10 more now.

So, my toons are taking the 'Farm JPs for 489/496, get into LFR, get lots of valor from dailies/dungeons/scenarios for 522 gear' route, rather than the 'go to TI and get all your gear there' route.

Something else I decided to do. Because everyone else is in TI now, it's pretty deserted in the rest of Pandaria, so I decided to level Draeny and Boomy. Having fun in Jade Forest right now. Fliction is making some progress through Mount Hyjal, and all the others are about to hit Outland. Fengsui just needed to farm Rugged for about half an hour to get to 295, and I'll use the DMF for 300 next weekend.

The guild is coming along nicely, 22 and 62%. Achievements have moved up to 3230, with the last two being Heroic Scarlet Monastery and Scarlet Monastery (Flaying I think).

I didn't play the Horde toons at all again this week. I think I'll only get back to them when I get the Alliance guild to 25, other then have them go through DMF.

So, the plan for next week is to continue gearing up my level 90s, and continue leveling Draeny, Boomy, Fliction, and the rest.

Cheers.

Some End Game stuff

Priestybrit (36) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)

Cuteybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)

Beastybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (23) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (22) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

So, it was quite a week. I started doing some dailies on Flaying and Gnomey, and laying off leveling the lower level toons for a while. Tillers, Anglers, and Shieldwall. All good stuff.

But then, I decided to try out a bit of high level stuff on Flaying and see what 5.4 is all about. So, I went to Timeless Isle. Not bad, but my repair bill was excessive, and I wasn't getting much guild rep at all. But at least I found some Elites that I could kill (wildlife) for the quests, and found a couple of chests. But then, a guy invited me to a group, and we got a healer too, so we went around killing tons of stuff with ease. It got me a couple more chests, and quest completions, and I'm now sitting on 6K Timeless coins. I got about 6 496 pieces. 2 for Flaying. I passed helms to Gnomey and Blizzy, and had a piece each for Boomy and Draeny.

But here's the thing. The guy actually friended me, and I could go back and do tons more stuff and get tons more gear. But, it's just not for me. I really like playing solo, and the Isle really isn't for playing solo. So, I de-friended him, and am not planning to go back there.

So, what else. I decided to get LFR a try. Cleared both wings of Mogu'shan Vaults just fine. Was also doing fine in the first wing of Heart of Fear, but we wiped on Garalon, and while we were running back, someone had already started it again, so I quit out. Wasn't good for my shoulder anyway, because I was having to use my left hand.

Anyway, now I have some Epic gear, I will just work on dailies for Valor and upgrades and run a scenario or two for JPs.

In other news, I got Fliction to 80 and Fengsui to 60. Fliction has started Cata, and Engineering is coming along fine. For Fengsui, I did need to go back and grind out 48 Thick Leather, but that was fine and only took about 30 mins. I have tons of Rugged Leather for the next stage, but haven't seen if it's enough yet. Unstable is still in Blasted Lands, so will get a bit more before 60.

Great progress on the Alliance Guild this week. It's now level 22 and 9%. Achievements are now at 3060, with the last two being Rally the Valley (finished up VFW on Flaying) and The Vault of Mysteries.

The plan for next week is to keep doing dailies on Flaying and Gnomey (Blizzy is too hard to play with one hand), and keep leveling the other toons, especially Fliction and Fengsui.

Cheers.

Click to Move - It works!

Horde (Britannia):

Priestybrit (36) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (24) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Cuteybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (24) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (22) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (23) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (22) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

Well then. I asked on the WoW forums about Click to Move. By using Click to Move and clicking on abilities, I would be able to play one-handed. Well, it works. Flying is not a problem either. Just click the direction you want to go, and click again to stop flying. However, it does seem a little clunky, and I don't trust doing dungeons with it, so I only played Fengsui, Elfy, and Shady a bit, questing.

Elfy and Shady have both finished Winterspring, and now are questing in Swamp of Sorrows. Fengsui and Elfy are finished with Swamp of Sorrows and Fengsui has started in Blasted Lands. I've found that some of the mobs do actually skin for Thick Leather, so I'm going to hold off farming it until Unstable has been through there too.

I've also been doing the Fishing and Cooking dailies on Flaying, Gnomey, and Blizzy. These are fine with Click to Move.

The Alliance guild is now 21 and 61%. The Horde guild is level 4 and 61%. Achievements have bumped up to 2970 (with Flaying getting Proving Yourself: Bronze Damage).

BTW: Didn't really like Proving Grounds. It seems stupid for DPS not to have Tanks and Healers there, and doesn't seem to prove anything. I just gave up on Silver because it wasn't giving any rewards and contributing any guild xp.

The goal for next week is to keep leveling Fengsui, Unstable, Elfy, and Shady to 60. Then, I have no idea what I'm going to do. I may have to play Horde, or maybe even try to do dungeons with Click to Move.

Cheers.

Taking a break

Hi,

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 473

Shammybrit (22) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (23) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)

and a new member

Powerbrit (22) - Panderan/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

I created Powerbrit because having two skinners for LW in the Alliance guild is working out well, and I decided to do the same on the Horde side. So, I rushed Power to get all profs to 75 and get to the DMF just before it ended on Saturday.

The rest of my time was spent on the Alliance side. Fliction is now well into Northrend, questing now in Grizzly Hills and has quite a bit of Honor from the dailies there already. Fengsui and Unstable have completed Winterspring and Swamp of Sorrows, and are now both ready for Blasted Lands. I'm about 40 or so Thick Leathers short and with Blasted Lands only giving Rugged, I'm going to need to farm those.

Other than that, I've started Elfy in Winterspring and was planning on taking Shady there soon too. Also, I got Boomy's Inscription to 600 using herbs that Flaying had gathered.

So, taking a break? Yep, I'm afraid so. I still have my Shoulder issue, and playing WoW just seems to be holding up the healing process. So, I'm going to give it a break and just play Civ V (which can just be played with my right hand). I don't know how long I'll be off. Who knows, I might be back before next Monday, and you may not even notice :)

The Alliance guild is now 21 and 42%. The Horde guild is level 4 and 46%. Achievements have bumped up to 2960 (with Flaying getting Exploring Kun-Lai).

No plans for next week.

Oh, one other thing. With my friend taking a break from WoW and playing a bit of LOTRO, I decided to try it out. After a massive downloading process, I did get to play a bit.

Legobrit (9) - Elf/Hunter (Farmer/Forester/Woodworker)

It is very similar to WoW, but I really don't think it's for me. There are quite a few annoyances about it, particular as it crashed twice while playing yesterday. I'll just have to see if I decide to play any more, after my Shoulder is better.


Cheers.

A Tuesday Update :)

Hi,

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 473
Draenybrit (85) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)

Unstablebrit (52) - Human/Warlock (Mining/Skinning)
Elfybrit (49) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)

Shammybrit (22) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (23) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)

Some great things were accomplished over the last week, so let me list them.

1. Just got the Alliance guild to level 21
2. Got Boomy to level 85
3. Got Gnomey to level 90
4. Got Fliction through Outland
5. Got all Alliance toons finished in Badlands

Of course, I took them all through the DMF for the profession quests also.

So, I played nearly all Alliance, all week. I am so focused right now on getting the guild to level 25. Hitting 21 was excellent, and only 4 levels to go now. Most of the work is being done by my lowest level toons who tore through Badlands and are now heading to Winterspring before coming back to Swamp of Sorrows.

I decided to get Gnomey to 90 just for the hell of it. Because they have nerfed the XP required, I just finished up some stuff in Kun-Lai to get the Grummlepack, and then only just did the first few quests in TS and dinged 90 after doing a dungeon. As a consequence, Gnomey's iLvL was way to low to get into Scenarios. I crafted a couple of 450 tailoring items, and made a 450 ring, and got to the required iLvL. Then I went into Areana of Annihilation for the 450 staff.

Getting Boomy to 85 was fun too. All the Herbing in Cata for Whiptail, and then making all the Fortune Cards and Key to the Planes. I made tons of gold. I got a 1000g card out of the couple of hundred I made :)

So, the Alliance guild is level 21 and 4%. The Horde guild is level 4 and 35% (after all the DMF quests). Achievements are at 2950, with the latest being Jack of All Trades.

The goals for next week are to keep leveling the lower level Alliance toons, and get Fliction through Northrend. I may even play a bit of Horde :)

Cheers.

Just a little progess

Hi,

Alliance (Brits United):

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 473
Draenybrit (85) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (89) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Blizzybrit (90) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting) - iLvL 437
Flictionbrit (65) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering)
Boomybrit (82) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (48) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Unstablebrit (48) - Human/Warlock (Mining/Skinning)
Elfybrit (47) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Shadybrit (38) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)

Horde (Britannia):

Priestybrit (36) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (24) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Cuteybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (23) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (22) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (23) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)

Well, I said I wasn't going to play this week, but here's what happened. I laid off for a couple of days, but my pain wasn't getting any better. So, I went back to the doctor. He did some tests and told me "It's not your Triceps, it looks like a rotator cuff injury". Sent me to the MRI. The MRI confirmed that I had a tear in my rotator cuff and two other tendons in the shoulder. So, I got a cortizone injection, and am doing some mild physical theraphy to keep the shoulder moving. What this means though is that they don't want it immobilized and I can play WoW a bit. I played tons of Civ 5, but managed to get in a little WoW.

So, not much progress, with the main being on Boomybrit and Priestybrit. I was going to play Horde one week, and Alliance the next, but I've scrapped that, and will chop and change between them whenever I feel like.

Boomybrit finished off Northrend and is now having fun in Mount Hyjal. The Inscription is going great, and because there were herbs left in the bank from Flaying, Boomy is already at 500 inscription. Priestybrit made it through Arathi and Hinterlands, and reminded my of why I remember Hinterlands questing being bad. Not generally, but having to go back up into that Troll place about 5 times for quests is really bad. They should make it like others that auto complete and give you the quests where you are. Oh well, I might just switch over to Stranglehorn Vale for the other toons in Britannia.

The guilds are progressing. Alliance is now 20 and 23%. Horde is 4 and 26%. Achievements have moved up to 2925, with the last two being Needy (finally rolled 100 - Boomy) and Explore Storm Peaks (Boomy - getting herbs for Northrend research).

Goals for next week are to get Boomy to 85 and start working on Fliction. Also, to get others on the Horde side to 36 and ready for WPL like Priesty.

Cheers.

Woe is me!

Hi,

Alliance (Brits United):

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 473
Draenybrit (85) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (89) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Blizzybrit (90) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting) - iLvL 437
Flictionbrit (65) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering)
Boomybrit (78) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (48) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Unstablebrit (48) - Human/Warlock (Mining/Skinning)
Elfybrit (47) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Shadybrit (37) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)

Horde (Britannia):

Priestybrit (25) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (24) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Cuteybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (22) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (22) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (23) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)

Well, I'll get to the reason for the title later.

Anyway, the big news for this week was that I got my Alliance Guild to level 20! I quested a lot on Fengsui, Unstable, Elfy, and Shady. I also leveled Boomy after realizing that Insciption can be a good money earner at high level by making Ghost Iron Staff. I even played Flaying a bit, doing the Golden Lotus dailies (because they're going away in 5.4). I also decided to do a bit of exploring in Jade Forest, and farming up Green Tea Leaf. They are then made in to Master Healing Potion, giving 60s per. Not using the AH certainly makes one think about the game differently :)

So, now for the title.

I tore/pulled my Triceps in my left arm a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, WoW aggravates it, and is causing it not to heal. So, I'm going to have to take a break from WoW for a while. It could be about 2 weeks.

My Alliance Guild is now level 20 and 2%. Horde guild is still level 4 and 3%. Achievements are now 2865, with the latest two being Explore Grizzly Hills (Boomy) and Explore Jade Forest (Flaying).

Plans for next week are to not play WoW at all :)

Cheers.

The DMF Bag Shuffle

Hi,

Alliance (Brits United):

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 473
Draenybrit (85) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (89) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Blizzybrit (90) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting) - iLvL 437
Flictionbrit (65) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering)
Boomybrit (72) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (40) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Unstablebrit (46) - Human/Warlock (Mining/Skinning)
Elfybrit (31) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)
Shadybrit (31) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Mining)

Horde (Britannia):

Priestybrit (25) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (24) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Cuteybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (22) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (22) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (23) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (23) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)

As you can see, the majority of the week was spent on my Horde toons. Basically, getting them all through Trisfal Glades and Silverpine Forest, and getting First Aid, Cooking, Fishing, and 2 primary profs to 75 so they could go do the DMF quests. Mission accomplished, on Friday, and I took them all through the DMF on Saturday.

Well, here's one of the great things about the DMF for low level toons. Doing those 5 prof quests, and the lead in quest nets you 22 prize tickets. You can buy the Darkmoon Box with a ticket, and vendor it for 2g 50s. So, seeing as you want one for yourself (they are unique), just buy and sell 21 of them before you get the one for yourself. This will net you 52g 50s. Not bad, and I financed my first Guild Bank tab, and everyone still had about 35g.

Now all the Horde toons are on hold, and I'm back playing Alliance, getting the guild to level 25. In fact, that might be the way to play it. One week Horde, the next Alliance, repeating. Then you get a weeks rested for each toon at the start of the week. Yep, I think that's the way I'm going to do it.

The no using AH or Trading is going well. Low level mats don't make much compared with what you could make on the AH, but things are going to get more interesting with higher level mats. In fact, that's how Flaying's iLvL increased from 371->373. I found that the best use for Golden Lotus is for making Zen Alchemist Stone. After I made the first one, I realized it was an iLvL improvement :). Also, I switched Shady and Elfy from Alchemy to Mining, and Unstable from Herbing to Mining, because Mining is much better for vendoring, overal

So, I played Horde through Saturday, and played Alliance on Sunday. The Alliance Guild is now 19 and 35%. The Horde Guild is level 4 and 3%. Achievements are stuck at 2865 and I can't see that changing much as I'm not playing my high level toons at the moment.

The goals for the week are leveling the Alliance Guild. I want to get Boomy through Northrend, Flaying through Outland, and level my skinners too.

Cheers.

Stalled progress

Hi,

Alliance:

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 471
Draenybrit (85) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (89) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Blizzybrit (90) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting) - iLvL 437
Flictionbrit (64) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering)
Boomybrit (71) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (39) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Unstablebrit (38) - Human/Warlock (Herbalism/Skinning)
Elfybrit (31) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Shadybrit (31) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)

Horde:

Priestybrit (21) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (12) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Cuteybrit (8) - Blood Elf/Priest (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (22) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (15) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (7) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (16) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)


So, not a lot of progress to write about this week. Went down to San Luis Obispo on Thursday and attended a wedding on Friday, and picnic on Saturday etc. and only got back on Sunday. However, I did take my laptop, and found a little bit of time to play during the down times. I was playing mostly Civ 5 though.

Anyway, haven't played Alliance much, and only gained one level on Boomy. The first five were taken through the DMF prof quests yesterday though.

Most of the progress has been on the Horde side. Fuzzy has joined the guild and I deleted my 2nd Warlock, and created another Priest instead (Cutey). Much better. Priesty and Herby have made the most progress, with both of them having finished Silverpine Forest. That's the goal for all of them. Get through Silverpine Forest and then see what else may be necessary to get all profs to 75 for the DMF. I'm hoping I can do this for all of them before Saturday.

The Alliance guild is now 19 and 8%. The Horde guild is 2 and 73%. Achievements haven't budged at all, staying at 2865.

The goal for this week will be to finish taking all the Alliance toons through DMF, getting all the Horde toons to 75 in all profs and taking them all through DMF, and then maybe leveling Boomy and Fliction some more. We'll see how much I can actually get done.

Oh, one other thing. Eccentrica and I have decided that we're going to go completely stand-alone from now on. Actually, she decided it, and I stole the idea for my guilds. So, no AH and no selling stuff in Trades. Just vendoring. Eccentrica and I have been poring over wowhead analysing what the most lucrative items for vendoring are for each of the crafting mats. It's actually going to be pretty fun not having to wonder if AH items are selling and constantly checking mail etc.

Cheers.

An Interesting Development

Hi,

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 471
Draenybrit (85) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (89) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Blizzybrit (90) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting) - iLvL 437
Flictionbrit (64) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering)
Boomybrit (70) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (39) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Unstablebrit (38) - Human/Warlock (Herbalism/Skinning)
Elfybrit (31) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Shadybrit (31) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)

And.....this is the interesting development:

Priestybrit (11) - Undead/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Gobbybrit (12) - Goblin/Warlock (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Warlybrit (7) - Blood Elf/Warlock (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Herbybrit (5) - Tauren/Druid (Herbalim/Inscription)
Shammybrit (5) - Troll/Shaman (Mining/Engineering)
Beastybrit (5) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)

and

Fuzzybrit (8) - Panderan/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)

Yep, I've started on the Horde side of things. I'll probably go slow on it, still playing the Alliance more, but I want to get all profs to 75 first for the upcoming DMF this coming Sunday. I realize I have two Warlocks, and only one Priest. What was I thinking :) So, obviously, quite a bit of time was spent on leveling these guys. The guild is all set up, and it's now level 1 and 68%.

In Alliance news:

Gnomey finally did the MF quests enough to get to the Moonwell vendor for the Luxurious Silk Gem Bag pattern. Phew. No more MF dailies now.

Boomy and Fliction got quite a bit of play. Boomy is now in Northrend, and Fliction has just made it into Nagrand. Fengsui and Unstable have both made it through Cape of Stranglehorn, and are now in WPL. Elfy and Shady said goodbye to Duskwood and Northern Stranglehorn. It's kind of sad to think I won't be questing there for a long long time.

The guild is still coming along nicely, although slowed somewhat by the playing of the Horde toons. It's now level 19 and 1%. Only 6 levels to go :)

Achievements have barely budged. I'm now at 2865, with the only new achievement being Shattered Halls.

For this coming week, I won't be playing as much, because I will be away on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. However, the goals will be to get all the Horde guys profs up to 75 and then do DMF, and continue to level the Alliance that are < 85.

Cheers.

The Troops Advance

Hi,

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 471
Draenybrit (85) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (89) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Blizzybrit (90) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting) - iLvL 437
Flictionbrit (60) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering)
Boomybrit (67) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (32) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Unstablebrit (32) - Human/Warlock (Herbalism/Skinning)
Elfybrit (31) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Shadybrit (25) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)

So, I stopped playing any toons 85+ with the exception of Gnomey for the MF Dailies. This is because I have the new goal of getting all toons to 85, the guild to 25, and then possibly transferring off Venture Co,. after I see how Virtual Realms shakes everything up in 5.4. However, Gnomey has got from about 88 1/2 to 89 with just MF dailies. What a way to level :)

So, Boomy and Fliction are now in Outland, and Boomy's nearly made it Northrend. As with all my toons, the formula is the same. Get to 60, and then go straight to Zangamarsh. Then, when 64, go to Nagrand, and finish off in Blade Edge Mountains if necessary. I queue for each Outland dungeon once only for the quests as soon as they open up. Boomy is almost finished with Nagrand (and already has Inscription up to 350), and will just do a bit of Blade Edge to get to 68. Fliction is just starting in Zangamarsh.

Fengsui and Unstable have completed Northern Stranglehorn, and Fengsui has completed the Medium Leather part of LW. Having all the skins from 2 toons seems just about right. No need to farm any extra yet.

Elfy and Shady got some play, as I decided to start raising all toons to 85 as the next goal.

Flaying only got a bit of play this week to max out Fishing.

Reasonable progress on the guild this week. It's now level 18 and 50%. Achievements are 2855, with the latest two being Zen Master Fishing, and Serious Skills to Pay The Bills.

The goal for the coming week is to keep leveling all the lower level toons and level the guild. I'm really starting to feel that Guild level 25 is just around the corner :)

Cheers.

Meet the Dynanic Duo

Hi,

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 471
Draenybrit (85) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (88) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Blizzybrit (90) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting) - iLvL 437
Flictionbrit (54) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering)
Boomybrit (62) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (26) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Unstablebrit (24) - Human/Warlock (Herbalism/Skinning)
Elfybrit (22) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Shadybrit (20) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)

Blizzy made it to 90. She did a lot of Kun-Lai and then lots of Townlong Steppes. She didn't even make it to Dread Wastes. Kun-Lai was disappointing in terms of Ghost Iron Ore, but Townlong Steppes made up for that with tons of the stuff. I haven't bothered gearing her up yet, just getting the 450 Staff and purchasing one piece of Honor gear.

Gnomey is finally through the Embersilk portion of Tailoring, and has also got Enchanting past 500. This took a lot of Embersilk cloth. First, Dreany finished off Cata and got to 85. Then, I made a couple of Potion of Treasure Findings on Flaying, and then Gnomey spent two different hours in Tol Barard, killing the Restless Soldiers and Infantry. I got 400+ Embersilk cloth per hour. To get Enchanting over the 500 hump, I also farmed Obsidium Ore on Draeny to make some Redsteel pieces for DE. The other thing that Gnomey is doing is the MF Dailies. Got to get the Luxurious Gem Bag pattern.

Flaying is still on hold. Getting others to 90 is more important at the moment.

Progress was also made on Boomy, getting her to 60 and into Outland. Fliction also finished up Winterspring and will be heading to Outland after Swamp of Sorrows and Blasted Lands. Fengsui even got some play, as I realized that I really am going to need some Leatherworking 36 slot profession bags sooner, rather than later :)

I got a bit distracted this week, and didn't play as much as normal. That's because Civ 5 came out with a new expansion, and I was playing that quite a bit.

So, the guild and achievements haven't made a lot of progress this week. The guild is level 17 and 78%. Achievements are at 2795 right now, with the last two being A Dynamic Duo (hence the title :)), and Exploring Deepholm (getting the Heartblossom needed for the Treasure Finding Potions).

So, what's next. Well, getting Boomy and Fliction through Outland and into Northrend and then Cata. I have tons of level 83-85 MoP gear waiting for my lower level toons, and want to get some there to take advantage of it.

Cheers.

Happy July 4th, and other stuff

Hi,

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 471
Draenybrit (83) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (86) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Blizzybrit (88) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Flictionbrit (51) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering)
Boomybrit (56) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (24) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Unstablebrit (24) - Human/Warlock (Herbalism/Skinning)
Elfybrit (22) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Shadybrit (20) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)

Well, what a week that was. I had July 4th off, and took the 5th off too. So, I played rather a lot in the past 4 days.

As you see, there's a lot of progress on many of the toons. Gnomey is still stuck needing Embersilk Cloth, so I decided to level Draeny as quickly as possible and get through Cata to see how many I would get.  Gnomey is also doing the Molten Front dailies every day, to get the pattern for the Luxurious Gem Bag. Gnomey and Blizzy are both in Pandaria now, with Blizz probably the next to get to 90 so that she can fly around and get tons of Ghost Iron Ore for Flaying (Living Steel) and to prospect herself.

I realized that the DMF was coming to town, and Fliction's Engineering was at the stage that she needed Dense Stone. I didn't want the +5 to replace that, so leveled her through Badlands and Searing Gorge and then on to Winterspring. The +5 from DMF is now to replace Thorium needs.

Flaying is official on hold right now, not even doing dailies or gathering crops. This is until Gnomey and Blizzy can supply her with all the Gems and Enchants needed.

The guild is zooming along. It's now level 17 and 6%. Achievements haven't progressed much, but are now at 2725, with the latest two being Heroic Stormstout Brewery (before I put Flaying on hold) and Treasure of Pandaria (got by Blizzy).

The focus for next week will be to get Draeny through Cata, get Gnomey's Tailoring up to 500 and into Windwool territory (I have TONS in the Guild Bank) and get Blizzy to 90.

In other news, Andy Murray won Wimbledon, and Chris Froome is leading the Tour de France. It's a good time to be a Brit :)

Cheers.

Moving to Weekly Updates

Hi,

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 466
Draenybrit (71) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (83) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Blizzybrit (85) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Flictionbrit (40) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering)
Boomybrit (53) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (24) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Unstablebrit (24) - Human/Warlock (Herbalism/Skinning)
Elfybrit (22) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Shadybrit (20) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)

I've realized that in updating twice a week, there's not really a lot happening in between blog posts. So I've decided to cut back to posting only once per week, on Mondays.

Well, what have I been up to? Flaying has progressed a bit in the area of gear, with a new 476 from Honor, and then doing the Barrens quest line to get the 502 boots. It was tough, and I died a couple of times, but got there in the end. I can't imagine getting 150 of each resource for the weekly to get a 489 piece though. Yuck. So, she's geared for LFR, so why hasn't she done it yet? Well, she's not gemmed or enchanted, and I'm not going to do LFR until she us.

Which brings me to Gnomey and Blizzy. The focus has really been on these two over the past few days. Blizzy got to 85, made it to Jade Forest, and is getting quite a bit of Ghost Iron Ore. Gnomey is now 83 and about to hit Uldum. She's way behind on Tailoring though (still needed lots of Frostweave), and Enchanting is moving slowly also. I have this rule that I don't DE anything worth 10g or more, which slows down getting enchanting mats. The good thing is Gnomey can nearly afford 280 flying now though :)

Draeny has had a bit of play, and is funneling any Frostweave to Gnomey, but is not getting much.

The guild is coming along nicely and is level 15 and 65%. Achievements are at 2645, with the latest two being Mystically Superior and 500 Daily Quests complete.

I'll be continuing to focus on Blizzy and Gnomey over the coming week, and will also probably play Draeny and Boomy a bit. Of course, Flaying will probably get a bit of play, doing some dailies etc. I'm also looking forward to DMF this coming weekend, which will give a nice +5 boost to all professions on all toons.

Cheers.

The Flame Warden Arises

Hi,

New feature. For each level 90, I'll post their iLvL.

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 458
Draenybrit (70) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (80) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Blizzybrit (82) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Flictionbrit (40) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering)
Boomybrit (53) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (24) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Unstablebrit (24) - Human/Warlock (Herbalism/Skinning)
Elfybrit (22) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Shadybrit (20) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)

Flaying had fun doing all the Midsummer stuff for achievements and then finally got the Flame Warden title after riding in to Silvermoon City and managing to get the bonfire there. It was actually quite a fun little Holiday to participate in. Other than that, Flaying finally got Exalted with the Tillers, and also got up to 5,000 gold for the 6th guild bank tab. I make sure she at least does the Tillers dailies and try to get the Shieldwall and Anglers ones done too, with the Golden Lotus ones occasionally. I'm looking forward to getting Work Orders on the farm for extra Shieldwall rep.

Other than that, Gnomey and Blizzy are now in Mount Hyjal, and Blizzy's JC is coming on really nicely. She's getting tons of Obsidium Ore just from questing (CRZ free FTW!), and she's also done one Shimmering Expanse Ore run. Note that you get the portal for Vash'j after doing the first quest there (Sea Legs). Blizzy also got to 4K gold and now has 280 flying. Gnomey's Tailoring is lagging. She still needs tons of Frostweave Cloth. I played Draeny a bit to get some, and also took Gnomey off to farm the Converted Heroes for some. Still need a lot more though. All in good time. I really need to get Blizzy to MoP so that she can cut some MoP gems for Flaying.

Boomy got a bit of play, and is now questing in Winterspring. The Inscription is coming on nicely, because Icecap is just so plentiful there.

The Guild is now level 15 and 4%. Achievements are coming along nicely at 2585, and in addition to the Flame Warden ones, the last two were Tillers and Working for a Living (having just got Alchemy to 600).

Next up is getting Blizzy and Gnomey through Mount Hyjal and Uldum to get to 85. Also, getting Boomy to 60 to get into Outland, and continuing to play Flaying a bit to get tons more gold.

Cheers.

A Midsummer Bonanza

Hi,

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Draenybrit (69) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (77) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Blizzybrit (80) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Flictionbrit (40) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering)
Boomybrit (51) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (24) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Unstablebrit (24) - Human/Warlock (Herbalism/Skinning)
Elfybrit (22) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Shadybrit (20) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)

Well, the Midsummer Festival is here, and Flaying has been working on getting the Achievement. One of the key parts is honoring every friendly bonfire and desecrating every enemy bonfire. 310 flying really helps, and I guess being a Mage would be even better, but Flaying got that part done in a couple of days with not a lot of play time. wowhead has an excellent guide that shows where all the bonfires are.

The other great thing is that you get almost 10g for each friendly, and almost 20g for each enemy, bonfire at level 90. This nets about 2500g for all of them. After getting 310 flying, I was pretty low on funds, but now am well on the way to the 5000g for the 6th Guild Bank tab.

Flaying has also been doing Tillers dailies (Revered with 12 plots now), Shieldwall dailies (when not the cave ones :)), Anglers dailies (fishing is now 525), and scenarios and a few Heroics. Got the 522 Neck piece after getting to 1250 Valor. She is now iLvL 457 (only 3 more to go for LFR!).

In other news, Blizzy made it to level 80, and Gnomey is following right behind. Draeny got a bit of play, as did Boomy.

Next up is getting Flaying the Midsummer achievement (only need Silvermoon City bonfire, and Dalaran juggling), get Gnomey to 80 and work on getting the Tailoring to 425, taking Blizzy into Mount Hyjal, and getting Boomy a bit higher.

The guild is coming along nicely, and is now level 14 and 40%. Achievement points have shot up to 2455, with the latest two being A Taste of Things to Come, and More Skills to Pay the Bills.

Cheers.

Moving Forward

Hi,

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Draenybrit (68) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (71) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Blizzybrit (77) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Flictionbrit (40) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering)
Boomybrit (48) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (24) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Unstablebrit (24) - Human/Warlock (Herbalism/Skinning)
Elfybrit (22) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Shadybrit (20) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)

So, progress on many fronts.

First, Flaying. She did the Shielwall intro, and then the dailies. Also, did the Isle of Thunder intro, and the dailies until she hit a brick wall on one of the quests. Well, only 446 iLvL, and not gemmed or chanted, so it's hardly surprising. Also, no Alliance to help out at the time (low pop server don't you know). So, I backed off and she then just did Tillers dailies and focused more on the professions (got 600 Herb and Arch already), and I focused more on Blizzy. What she has been doing though is accumulating Honor (GH Dailies) and JP (from Scenarios and Heroic Dungeon bosses) to buy Honor gear. So her iLvL is now 451.

Blizzy has been grinding through Northrend, questing in Borean Tundra, Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills (w/ PvP dailies too), S Basin, and now she's headed to Icecrown. The JC is coming on fine, and she's also doing the Dalaran JC daily now. I really want to get Blizzy to Pandaria to get Flaying the gems she needs. I also need to get Gnomey there, but haven't paid her as much attention.

So, the overall goal is get Blizzy and Gnomey to 85 and into Pandaria, and also work on Boomy a bit for the glyphs, before really progressing Flaying much more.

On that note, it's Midsummer Festival time, so I'll probably be doing that on Flaying for the next few days too. Now that she just got 310 flying, it should be easy too.

The guild is still level 13, and now 68% towards level 14. Achievement points have shot up to 2230, with the latest two being Breaking the Sound Barrier and 1000 Valor Points.

Oh, one last thing. A bit more PvP happened. Flaying was getting a piece of Honor gear from the vendor at Serpent Spine at a normal evening hour. Then a Horde Rogue pounced and killed her before she could do much. Went back, and the same thing happened, but an Alliance Pally was helping out. Third time we managed to kill him just before I was about to die. So, it sucks that there are always people trying to stop you doing what you want to on PvP servers, but that's the price I just have to pay for no CRZ. I've decided to make sure I get my Honor gear at off hours now :)

Cheers.

Whoo Hooo - Level 90!

Hi,

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Draenybrit (68) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (69) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Blizzybrit (73) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Flictionbrit (40) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering)
Boomybrit (48) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (24) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Unstablebrit (24) - Human/Warlock (Herbalism/Skinning)
Elfybrit (22) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Shadybrit (20) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)

Yep, there you have it. Flaying got to 90 late on Saturday. She had 4000 Honor, and immediately went and got a couple of 476 items. Then, did Arena of Annihilation for the 450 Staff, and then did the Tillers dailes, Anglers dailies, and the Golden Lotus dailies. Queued for a random Scenario, and random Heroic and now have 240 VPs. Haven't bothered with Isle of Thunder yet. So, having lots on fun now that she's 90, with iLvL of 440. BTW: I did the first few Townlong Steppes and Dread Waste quests to get to 90, and still have tons of Pandaria to do for Loremaster. They really give you so much to do at 90, you could just play a 90 all the time.

What else is going on? I'm making a serious push to get Blizzy and Gnomey through Northrend. Blizzy is coming along fine and has made it to Grizzly Hills (and has already done the PvP dailies). I've also been playing Boomy a bit, having done most of Badlands. Elfy and Shady have also got a bit of play, especially when I was getting near to guild level 13. The lower level quests are quicker to complete and really rack up the Guild XP quickly.

The Guild is now level 13 with 26% towards 14. I am now sitting at 2000 Achievement Points, with the latest two being Scholomance and Heroic Scholomance.

Just one other point. I've seen that we're getting Virtual Realms in 5.4. It will be interesting to see the article about it so we can see the details. I hope that Venture Co. will be excluded, for the same reasons as it's excluded from CRZ. We'll just have to wait and see.

Cheers.

A Little Bit of PvP

Hi,

Flayingbrit (88) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Draenybrit (68) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing)
Gnomeybrit (68) - Gnome/Priest (Tailoring/Enchanting)
Blizzybrit (70) - Draenei/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Flictionbrit (40) - Gnome/Warlock (Mining/Engineering)
Boomybrit (46) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription)
Fengsuibrit (24) - Panderan/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Unstablebrit (24) - Human/Warlock (Herbalism/Skinning)
Elfybrit (20) - Night Elf/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)
Shadybrit (18) - Draenei/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy)

The guild is still level 12, but is 79% towards 13. I have gone to 1890 achievement points without really concentrating on it. The last two achievements have been An Honorable Kill and Lost and Found.

So, let me tell you a little bit about a couple of PvP experiences yesterday. I was questing in VFW on Flaying, and all of a sudden, a level 90 Horde swoops down and attacks me. I use all my CDs and survival stuff but it's hopeless and I die. I go back to my body, don't see him around, so I res. But he was hiding and swooped down and attacked again. This time, I just sat there, laughed at him, and logged off and played another character. I don't know why people bother doing this. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Also, questing in WPL on Boomy at level 43. I was doing Battle for Darrowshire when a level 42 Horde Pally showed up. I just ignored him, and kept attacking the mobs, but then he attacked me. I just used Rejuvenate and used my attacking spells and easily defeated him. I thought he'd learned his lesson, but when I was handing in a quest to Little Pamela he was there again. I ignored him, but he attacked me again. Again, healing + damage and I was barely wounded after killing him. Well, that's how I got Honorable Kill.

What else have I been up to? Well, I got Draeny, Gnomey, and Blizzy all through with Outland, and all profs up to 350 skill. Blizzy started questing in Borean Tundra and has quite a bit of Cobalt Ore already. I also have been giving quite a lot of time to my Scribe, Boomy, who is now in Badlands.

Flaying has also been getting a bit of play time. She's now level 88 and questing in Kun-Lai Summit. But this 33% XP nerf is ridiculous. She hasn't done much of VFW and Kun-Lai, and is 88 already, having only done one dungeon. I think I'll make 90 before even leaving Kun-Lai! Also, Flaying has been doing the GH Dailies and now has 3800 Honor. The idea is to get to 4000 and get some JPs also. Then at 90, get a few pieces of the level 476 Honor gear, and convert the JPs to Honor also. I hope to get at least 3 pieces.

Well, that's about it. I plan on doing more Northrend with Gnomey and Blizzy, and leveling Boomy more, and getting Flaying to 90. Let's see how much we can get done this weekend.

Cheers.
