Saturday in Azeroth

Clara has not been feeling well, and the weather was icky, so Saturday turned into Wowday. The intention, was to use it to farm up what we needed for upcoming raids.

First, we took the Alliance toons and set up bags, banks, auctions, etc. Then Clara logged in Teltanara just in time to see one of our guildies announce she wanted her hunter alt through Heroic Mech and needed a healer. She hadn't gotten a group together so I figured why not? and logged in Eeyan. One of the guild locks came (yay, Mech is so much easier with a lock) and we pugged in a tank in blues and off we went!

It was slow going and Eeyan died lots (the Destroyers are apparently immune to Kick and Silencing Shot), but we didn't wipe unduly for a bunch of alts in blues, and we did end up downing all the bosses. Eeyan got 4 badges and a Nether! The group worked pretty well, so we swapped out the lock for a rogue from the tank's guild, and Eeyan for Kuan, and headed down to Caverns of Time for some Black Morass action and some rep.

While we were there, our guild shadow priest (we only have one!) asked for a Heroic Mech run for rep, so once we completely Black Morass Clara swapped to Viljo, the hunter alt swapped to her healy pally, and we ran it again! Hm, I don't even remember who tanked. Amazing how much easier Heroic Mech is when everyone is in epics, though. Turns out the shadow priest didn't even have Sha'tar revered, so now he does, and he went posthaste to pick up his Glyph of Power. That made me happy as he's part of our 25-man raid...

After that we did, actually, do a little bit of farming. But then it was time for a Guild PvP event. The Pally class lead loves to PvP, and we formed up a raid and tried to take over the Deeprun Tram. I'm not so sure we succeeded. But we did get to ride it about for a while. At one point the only other folks we saw on the tram... were other Horde. A new discovery for me: when Horde dies on the tram, they have to corpse run from Eastvale Logging, and entering the tram instance does not recover the corpse, you have to find it too. Anyhow once we were bored of that we raided Darnassus. Horde can access their guild bank from there, go figure.

After that Eeyan and Telt did some regular questing, but by this time it was after midnight, so it was time for sleepies; Clara was starting to feel ikky again. But quite a bit of progress and fun! I think Telt ended up picking up enough badges to get the [Bishop's Cloak]. Eeyan still doesn't have enough badges for anything. That's OK though. Probably once he gets a few more I will blow them on the cloak, instead of stockpiling them for offhand daggar.
