Gearing Up!

Hi,

Contrary to what I said my goals were this week (we'll get to that later), this week was all about gearing up.

Why's that, you may ask. Well, with the introduction of valor for item upgrades, and the fact that it was an Apexis bonus weekend, it made it very lucrative to do Apexis bonus objectives.

The weekend quest for the Apexis event is http://www.wowhead.com/quest=39033/the-time-to-strike.

This awards 500 Valor, 1500 Oil, 5000 Apexis, and 1000 GRs. So, I tried to get this done on a few characters to get loads of Apexis for 495 upgrade tokens, and to get the 500 Valor for two +5 iLvL upgrades. I also ran LFR on characters for the Suarfang quest. And I also ran some Hellfire Citadel on Priesty and Beasty for 150 Valor each wing.

So, how did it go? Swimmingly! Priesty, Beasty, and Shammy got A Time to Strike done, and upgrade tons of gear. So they are 689, 690, and 681 now. Priesty is going to finish it off tonight and get upgraded. The LFR runs were all nice and smooth and quick for extra Valor and an bit of gold. A good week.

I also tried to make a lot of gold this week. Looking at my Master Plan, I need to make upwards of 200K a week to even stand a chance of getting to 10M. Yikes. There's no way I'm making that currently. So, I was selling tons of stuff on the AH, grinding out the wolves in Frostfire Ridge (I did a test 30mins - 373 Sump Fur + 400g) and Saurfang quest etc. Not doing any Cata Raids right now, but I may have to eventually. Priesty is now over 380K:

As you can also see, getting ready to post another 50 Savage Blood and 1000 Draenic Dust on the AH. It's nice not needing Savage Blood for upgrades any more.

Another thing I did was run Kazzak on 4 characters to get Felblight. I pulled in about 50 Felblight this week, of the 2700 I need :)

Finally, leveling. I got Trappy through Pandaria and into Draenor. I got her Garrison set up, and completed FFR and through Gorgrond and Talador. Now she's 96, ready to hit Spires of Arak. I leveled Magey and Combat as a pair. I'd do some quests and stuff on Magey, then do the exact same stuff on Combat. They both did Mount Hyjal, a tiny bit of Deepholm to get to 83, and then Uldum to get to 85. Combat made it to 85 this morning. Only 34 levels to go now.
