A New Dwarf

Hi,

That's right. Another Dwarf, Lockybrit. She's my new Jewelcrafter. As I decided I won't be moving off Venture Co now, I'm going to need the professions, so decided that my Dwarf army will fill that role. They will level without Heirlooms, while the Pandaren will level with Heirlooms and with no professions. I probably won't do all the professions, but Tailoring, Enchanting, Inscription, and Jewelcrafting will suffice.

Locky is coming along nicely, and is about to hit Westfall. Bambood got most of the play though, and is whizzing though Northrend, and about to hit Icecrown. Dwarfy and Totem both got play also, as I'm trying to move my Tailoring, Enchanting, and Inscription along. Dwarfy is currently in WPL and Totem just finished Duskwood and is about to hit Norhtern Stranglehorn. One cool thing is that Totem did learn Glyph of Power Word: Shield. That's going to be very useful for Bambood, and Dwarfy.

On Draenor, Blizzy is the one who got play this week. She spent time on Timeless Isle, and also did the Shieldwall intro, and ground out some JPs, to get the Shieldwall trinket. One thing I forgot to do was buy the Timeless Isle staff for 20K (which she now has). This is good now, because it's 489 and upgrades to 497 (not too shabby). All my 90s on Draenor are now at least 500 iLvL except Boomy. So Boomy will probably be my focus this week. No play on Flaying this week. The Legendary Cloak is sort of on the back burner right now.

That's about it.

The Alliance guild is now level 9 and 49%. Acheivements are still stuck at 4520.

The plan for next week is to get Bambood up close to 90 and transfer the heirlooms to Frosty. Also to get up Boomy to at least 500, and maybe even gear Unstable a bit too. I'll also level Dwarfy, Totem, and Locky a bit.

9 Level 90s!

Hi,

Yep, Unstable made it to 90. Quite a bit of a grind, but at least she made 90 before having to do those bad quests in Townlong Steppes. Quite a few dungeons, and doing lots of Kun-Lai and Townlong quests. She was 427 getting to 90, and in the blink of an eye, she was 487 (with complete Timeless pieces except for a trinket and weapon). Then, after doing Arena of Annihilation, she was 488. She did tip-toe around Timeless Isle and got the first few quests done, but hasn't got the burden chest yet.

The others who have leveled have been Shamwow, Dwarfy, Bambood, and Totem. Bambood raced through Outland, questing and dungeoning, which went really fast with full heirlooms. She's started in Northrend too, just doing the first few quests. She's definitely being groomed as the next 90. Both Dwarfy and Shamwow finished up with Cape of Stranglehorn, and are ready to take the Portal to Western Plaguelands. Totem just finished off Redridge Mountains and is ready to hit Duskwood. I'm really thinking I'm going to need a Jewelcrafter on Venture Co. too, so that will probably be the next Dwarf I start.

Flaying did the first wing of SOO and got 3 secrets, but didn't do anything more than that this week. She's at 5/20 currently. The other 90 that got some play was Fliction. She spent a few days on Timeless Isle, and got a Burden dropped, and is up to 515. The aim is to get all the 90s to at least 500.


The Alliance guild is now level 8 and 94%. Achievement points just haven't moved at all, staying at 4250 (as Flaying didn't get much play).

The goal for next week will be to get Bambood through Northrend, and level Dwarfy and Totem, and possibly Shamwow. Maybe start on the JC. Take Flaying through a bit of SOO, and maybe do Timeless Isle on Blizzy and/or Boomy.

You'll have noticed the change in format. I decided to move all the character info to the bottom. Hope you don't mind.

Back to Leveling!

Beastybrit (24) - Blood Elf/Hunter (Skinning/Leatherworking)
Fuzzybrit (27) - Pandaren/Mage (Mining/Jewelcrafting)
Powerbrit (23) - Pandaren/Priest (Mining/Skinning)

That's right. The Alliance toons on Venture Co are getting leveled again. Well, my fans spoke. The views on this blog went way down after I said I wasn't leveling any more. And being the narcissist that I am, I just had to get more views :). Well, actually, it's because I decided to just level and not transfer them, just leaving them on Venture Co. There are always threads on the wow forums asking how many 90s you have, and I didn't want to keep saying 8 all the time :)

So, Unstable, Bambood, Dwarfy, and Totem all got some play from Friday on, when I decided to level again. I got Totem to 75 in Herb and Inscription for the DMF. I leveled Unstable a bit, and she'll be the next 90. Dwarfy also got some play to get Tailoring and Enchanting higher.

On Draenor, Flaying did a couple of LFR wings, trying to get Secrets of the Empire. The first was great, SOO wing 1, when she got 2 secrets. But in ToT wing 1, she got 0. That's when I decided to start leveling again. Gnomey, Draeny., and Fliction have all been doing Timeless Isle, and Gnomey especially got geared up a bit. I now have 309 Timeless Pieces.

I'm winding down on the Sunsong Ranch farms. Draeny got enough to make the 502 weapon for Pally, so she's not going there any more, and neither is Flaying, or Fliction. Boomy got enough to make the 476 staff for Blizzy, so she's not going there either, but will go back when low on herbs for the daily scroll of wisdom. Pally and Gnomey will continue until they've made two more 553 legs, and then just go back when they need more cloth for Imperial Silk (never can have too many Royal Satchels :)). Fengsui is the one who will continue going for a long time, to make all the 553 pieces for herself, Draeny, and Boomy.

So, the Alliance guild is on the move again and is now level 8 and 42%. Achievements have just moved up to 4520, with the last being A Taste of History (Flaying spent some times farming mobs in the Vale).

The plan for next week is to continue leveling on Venture Co, and to gear up on Draenor through Timeless Isle and Valor. Not entirely sure if I'll run more LFR on Flaying for Secrets. Kind of down on the Legendary quest right now.

Cheers.

Chapter II of the legendary quest chain is in the bag. Oh boy, was that horrible. Flaying got the quests to win one battle in each of the two MoP Battlegrounds. I pretty much hate PvP, but what the heck, it was required. So, into the Temple I go. We breeze through it and win first time. Now for Silvershard Mines. I get in, and we get absolutely stomped all over and lose. OK, 1-1, not too bad. That was the end of the first night of trying. The next day, I was queuing and queuing and losing and losing. I started with an 0-9 run and was really starting to hate that place. We only came close once, but close doesn't count. Well, the next run we got out to an early lead and were getting more carts and always slightly in the lead. We got to 1599 and thought it was in the bag, but it started going backward! Well, taking another cart did the job, and I finally won. 1-10 for Silvershard Mines. I think that's made up my mind never to do the Legendary cloak on another Alliance toon :)

Flaying also got Warlord Bloodhilt killed, after asking around and someone came and helped. So, Chapter II complete. Now she needs to get back into LFR for the next phase.

What else? Well, Flaying did Timeless Isle too, and capped Valor on Friday. I also played Draeny and Fliction this week, on Timeless Isle. Draeny got to 50K coins and bought a burden, and got one to drop too. I think that's the plan now. Not to gamble with the coins, but save up on each toon for 50K, and get a trinket or burden. I want to eventually run Draeny, Gnomey and Fliction in LFR too. So, they're the ones I'm concentrating on. I realize with Flaying that I've got the max gear I can get while just doing LFR. She's missing the Helm token, and the legendary cloak, but without doing Flex, that's about it for this expansion.

Still doing stuff on 7 toons on the farm, but that's going to stop once all the 553 gear has been made. For example, once Draeny has 30 Lightning Steel for the 502 sword for Pally, she will stop with the farm. Same for Gnomey and Pally, once they have done the 553 Legs for Fliction and Blizzy. They'll continue a little bit to keep making Imperial Silk for Royal Satchels, but that's about it. Fengsui will continue the longest, as herself, Draeny, and Boomy still need some 553 gear.

BTW: Pally did the August Celestial quests most days, and is now only one day from getting the Royal Satchel pattern.

So, do I miss leveling? Not much to be honest. I toyed with the idea of playing Horde again, because that doesn't cost anything, and maybe Ravenholdt will be OK on Timeless Isle for Horde.

Anyway, Achievements have gone up to 4510,. with the latest two being Silvershard Mines Victory :) and Chapter II, Wrathion's War.

The plan for next week is to have Flaying do LFR and cap valor, and have Draeny, Fliction, and Gnomey on Timeless Isle, trying for burdens, getting valor and working towards 50K coins and Honored with Shaohao if they aren't yet. Also for Pally to finally get Exalted with August Celestials.

Cheers.
