Sidelined Again!!

Hi,

Well, I did play quite a bit last week up until about Friday. Then I realized that my elbows are getting really hurt a lot playing on the iMac. The posture and setup just isn't right, and I've been googling computer elbow and gaming elbow and it's a real thing. I do wear my forearm braces when I play, but nothing seems to work right now. So, I'm giving it a rest for a few days to try and recover, and then I'm going to try and play on my laptop in a better setup and posture environment.

Anyway, what I got done last week was get all my below level 40 characters up to 40. I also got Insanebrit to 50, and into Shadowlands. I wanted to have a Tailor in Shadowlands to start leveling up the profession. Mentalbrit has Herbing/Enchanting, Lavabrit has Mining/Jewelcrafting, and Insanebrit has Tailoring/Enchanting. Insanebrit is in Bastion and is now level 52. It's amazing how little cloth is to be had in Bastion. Most of her cloth is from Mentalbrit. Mentalbrit completed Bastion and is questing in Maladraxus right now. Tons of cloth from Humanoid mobs in Maladraxus. She's now level 54.

I realize I have 3 Enchanting on Silver Hand right now. That just seems wrong. I might actually change Mentalbrit over to Inscription (I also have 3 Achemists), so that my two Enchanters are also Tailors.

After filling all the professions in on all characters, I see I still have some work to do. I still have too many characters with dual gathering on many realms.

I'll leave you with a look at Mentalbrit on Silver Hand, and a listing of the characters there.

Into Shadowlands!!

Hi,

Yes. I bought Shadowlands last week, and have been playing it a bit. Not a great deal, just half an hour every now and again because of my elbow issues. Some of my time was spent in Shadowlands, but a lot more was spent on sorting out all my old characters, and trying to get them all to level 40.

Let's talk about Shadowlands first. What are my initial impressions? I like it (well, I haven't got anyone to 60 yet so I can't talk about the grind at endgame, or the Maw, or Torgast or anything). I've only been to Bastion, but it's a very nice looking zone. I like the angel like look of the zone, and campaign questing is quite fun. I like having a linear path.


Lavabrit in Bastion

The only issue I've had with questing there so far was on my first character there, Mentalbrit. She was level 52 and approaching level 53, and suddenly the next campaign quest was grey. Yikes. But I realized she just needed to get to 53 for the quest to unlock. She just did a couple of other quests to get there.

Lavabrit is the only other character I've sent into Shadowlands so far. She's 51 and questing away as you can see in the picture.

What else. Well, getting all my professions on all characters sorted out, and leveling those less than 40, up to 40 (haven't finished that yet). The profession sorting out usually consisted of dropping one, picking up another, storing mats from the dropped profession in the guild bank. Storing the profession bag in the character's bank, and picking up the new profession. Oh, also, if they need another 28 slot bag, sending them to kill Totes in BFA and get the 28 slot bag drop.

That's about it, let's see what all my characters look like now.
