exalted for the very first time

so Vhaas is my 4th lvl 60 character, now. I used to make fun of people with so many high level characters, but now I suppose it's par for the course what with leveling guides and the race to Outland and whatnot.

training for a lvl 60 hunter was always expensive. but now with Tranq Shot a trainable ability, instead of something one must down Luci to get, that was crazy! the gold meter I run tells me training Vhaas was roughly 53g. (roughly becuase, I had bought something or repaired as well) anyhow, that's 10% of the gold required to learn Journeyman Riding (i.e. get an epic ground mount).

Vhaas and Khyrie are thus sans mounts, and have quests queued up for 4 zones in Azeroth and I haven't even counted how many instances. BRD onward, really. so, they will not be going to Outland anytime soon; which is OK as we have the others to play, and I don't think we've really played Alliance past this point anyhow.

to continue. after training and taking care of in-town things, they headed to Winterspring to clear some of the quests there. one of the quests is an Alliance-only escort in Owl Wing Thicket that explains the relationship between Elune and the owlbeasts. what it doesn't explain, of course, is why one has to kill so damn many of them during the escort, but there it is. at the end of the quest they were sent back to Rutheran to turn in, and thus I now have a character with Exalted on a rep bar as Vhaas dinged Exalted with Darnassus.

vhaas dinging exalted

that was pretty stunningly easy compared to poor Kuan, who despite my best efforts and running all of Zagarmarsh, remains far far away from exalted with his own faction. but still, exciting. what will happen to the Darn reputation Vhaas earns now? will it just be useless? I've heard it spills over to the other faction rep, but I've not seen any documentation to that effect.

I guess I will find out. too bad it isn't Dranei rep, though. I want Vhaas on an Elekk...

I'm so pleased with that picture. You caught it perfectly. And with Khyrie standing there too. :)

did you click on it?

Clara said...

I didn't! And that is excellent :-D

Grats! I'm pretty sure they made rep with the old Alliance factions a lot easier to get in some recent patch. Dae was Exalted with SW by the time she was in her early 50s, and pretty much was revered with every faction by the time she hit 60.

Kuan should be Exalted with Skyguard/Netherwing/Ogrila soon enough! :)

I have no real interest in hitting exalted with Skyguard or Ogri'la with Kuan, but we will see. some of those daily quests are super easy.

afaik Netherwing quests require epic flying mount skill :-(

tanthalas said...

Doh, for some reason I thought you guys hitting friendly with Netherwing meant you already had epic fliers.

Yeah you should try to do as many of the dailies as often as possible. I guess if you have a ton of other quests left to do, you'll be pretty set with money too. Dailies are all I do these days since I can't make progress on any of my quests anymore without wanting to gouge my eyes out... one of these days I'll spec shadow and get a ton of them done. One of these days...

ahh. the problem for us is I can't stand the bombing runs; it feels like an utter waste of time. the Skettis ones are better... Clara can't stand the simonsays.

:-/

Kuan's quest log is pretty short. I'm considering, however, whether dailies will be more or less money than selling Primal Waters, which take him about half an hour's time to pick up 2...
