Sneaking in a Little Bit of WoW

Hi,

Flayingbrit (90) - Human/Priest (Herbalism/Alchemy) - iLvL 537
Draenybrit (90) - Draenei/Shaman (Mining/Blacksmithing) - iLvL 489

Boomybrit (90) - Night Elf/Druid (Herbalism/Inscription) - iLvL 489

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)

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.

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.
