the new and improved list

We haven't posted in a while. Part of the reason is that my progress list clearly got out of control. I didn't want to update til I'd done that, and I didn't want to bother...

Anyhow here's the summary. Kuan's been raiding with indifferent success and picked up a lot of offspec gear. Eeyan hasn't gotten much done other than clearing Path of Conquest, because Kuan has also been farming badges. Upon hitting 100 badges and taking a second look at [Hauberk of Whirling Fury] I decided it wasn't really going to be worth it.

Tylara is 25 and has cleared Ghostlands. Not sure what to do next. Aurochh is 43 and has cleared Uldaman. And Ikoli, is 323 Tailoring.

And lastly, Vhaas got her first 10 Firewing Signets, and the SW Children's week quests done. Whilst doing that I came again to the conclusion that Alliance could turn even the most intelligent people into idiots. Haven't logged her in since.

The list is still pretty useful, but it needs to be a reminder and not some out of control thing. So here it is again, slightly reformulated. Here's what we're working on, which means: what we'll fill in the time with when we are logged in, and aren't in a guild run etc. Badges & honor is a given for level 70s.

how depressing

Here I was, thinking about how great it was that I was able to play Wow this last weekend, and without dedicating oodles of time I got Vhaas up to 62, some gear upgrades, a nice LW piece for Khyrie; took Eeyan through 2 heroics on PUGs, picking up 10 badges, and pulled him through Shadow Lab as well, then got him the badged neck as a nice upgrade; Kuan went into the BGs and got enough honor to pick up a PvP neck, which boosted his crit considerably, and in the interim went on a raid to pull down a boss he hadn't seen down'd before.

How great is all that. Then I compare it to list of things to get done and it's all no, no, no, no...

Alliance Elves

On Friday night Vhaas and Khyrie continued their adventures in Outland. The humans and dwarves in honor hold are too depressing to deal with, so aside from a quest here and there with really nice rewards we are skipping them.

However the draenei at the Temple of Telhamat are much nicer. And they give elephant rep, I mean Exodar rep, for Vhaas. So we wandered around doing their quests until we hit level 62. Ravagers, flayers, and anything else in our way was slaughtered as we quested.

I will note that our night elves are pretty severely undergeared. Blacktalon the Savage was hard to kill when the two of them were level 61.

Anyway, after leveling and turning in quests Vhaas and Khyrie went back to Darnassus to train. And from there the two of them went to Silithus to do some of the last few quests they had there.

All in all it was a relatively relaxing evening of questing.

Elephant here I come

I was busy with RL things yesterday and got stuck. So I decided while I waited on getting un-stuck I'd get Vhaas her coins. As a result Khyrie and Vhaas ran around Azeroth for quite a while, gathering coins for the lunar festival.

While we were at it, whenever we were in areas where the mobs were still green, we went on a killfest. The xp wasn't really good for lvl 61 player characters, but it was fantastic for the level 50-some pets. Now Dorano is 60, and Belore 57 I think. And Vhaas' Exodar rep is 7800+ Revered!

Today we logged them in to finish the coins, and woe, the Lunar Festival is done! But with Dorano 60, we paid a visit to Hellfire Penninsula. Did a couple HH quests, and ran to the next flight point. Which is all Exodar quests, woot!

Meanwhile I discovered my hunter macros no longer work quite like they did when I wrote them. Good thing I found that picking up coins, and not in some lvl 60 instance when I would be the idiot by pulling early.

Today I am almost done with the RL things. So now I turn back to Kuan, who need just 4 badges to upgrade his boots, which would be nice before another try at Void Reaver tonight.

Greymane ho!

So our Alliance toons really are neglected. Part of the problem is we have found Honor Hold offputting. Part of the problem is the AD guild, after trying to be a raid guild, fell apart. More of the problem is that AD Alliance seems to be dramarific. The bulk of the reason is that they are not as interesting as our Horde toons.

But they are in the 60s and it's tragic they are shelved. So, we have been talking to coworkers who are transferring their guild to Greymane, and they sent a mail: they want Alliance toons to augment its membership. I talked to the person making the announcement, and we are welcome to join even though they are raiding Kara and we are only playing the Alliance toons casually.

Darkfall is raiding until Wednesday, so we expect Thursday to transfer Vhaas, Khyrie, and Trismestigus to Greymane, after cleaning up banker alts and belongings etc.

Wow, we sure haven't updated the blog in a while! This last week there have been some Mana-Tombs runs. Eeyan and Teltanara both have been through there a few times. Last night, Kuan and Viljo ran heroic Mana-Tombs, all the way through, for the first time! Not only that, last night was the first time Clara learned about the /moon emote.

Viljo drops his pants and moons Drognin.
Viljo drops his pants and moons Kuanchichi.
Viljo drops his pants and moons Nexus Terror.
Viljo drops his pants and moons Doondoons.

I laughed until my sides hurt.

Anyhow, boring as it may sound, here is my progress based on last week's list. Unfortunately Shaffar was not polite enough to drop the Major Frost Prot recipe. Perhaps he did not like getting mooned.

Kuanchichi

Here is next week's list. Kuan's list is subject to change... looks like 2.3 might drop tonight, in which case Zul'Aman might appear as a priority...

Kuanchichi repay Rahlenti, Alchemy, grey quests, and offspec gear

Alliance...

We got home from work too late last night to do anything that required full mental engagement with the game. So, we logged in Vhaas and Khyrie, and got them almost all the way to Friendly with Timbermaw Hold; there's a mindless comfort to slaughtering furblogs. We then turned in a quest at LHC and parked them there.

draNgNon progress 11/5

So, a day late and a dollar short, here is my progress based on last week's list. The Alliance toons, they continue to languish, but Clara and I have perhaps figured out a plan. We'll see.

Kuanchichi

Here is next week's list. Kuan's list is subject to change... I am still thinking I will respec some of his talent points into enhance when PTR closes, to skill up 2h Mace and Axe in prep for the expertise changes in 2.3. I copied him onto PTR but the expertise changes are not there.

So, here is my progress based on my post a couple weeks ago. I didn't bother last week since I'd spent 4 days offline on vacation.

It sure felt like a lot of progress on Hordeside. Perhaps I should switch to updating every other week...! Kuanchichi got his epic flyer, thanks to Rahlenti... The Alliance toons, they continue to languish. :-/ I will clear at least one of those bullets this week, really!

Kuanchichi
• [Mazthoril Honor Shield] • clear one "Trial of the Naaru" quest • Netherblooms, Dreaming Glory, Felweed • battlegrounds • clear Dukes in Silithus, damn it	• got it • no progress • no longer an issue • no time really... • no progress but: T4 gloves! and: started on Gruul's finally: exalted with Sha'tar and CE

So. I will stick with weekly for now. Here is next week's list. Kuan's list might change. I am thinking I will respec some of his talent points into enhance when PTR closes, to skill up 2h Mace and Axe in prep for the expertise changes in 2.3. I haven't seen how they intend to convert weapon skill to expertise yet with the change.

So, here is my progress based on last week's post. Thanks to Viljo, Jataka, and Fanxia, Kuan is exalted with Lower City!!! I've been so obsessed on that. No doubt, that positively affected his ability to help down the bigger bosses in Kara last night.

Purveyors Of Order

Our Night Elves, Vhaas and Khyrie, were rolled to play with our friends on Argent Dawn. We were tired of having no guild tag and so convinced them to make a guild for us and their alts. Thus Purveyors Of Order was born. It was a nice vanity guild and home for wayward alts. Yay! No more random guild invites while in major cities.

Meanwhile our friends' mains were in a Kara raiding guild. There was some drama but they kept at it. They tried to fix the drama and were promoted to officers. Then there was more drama but still they persisted. Finally one day they logged in and there was no raiding guild. The guild leader had disbanded it and he and several of the other officers had joined a bigger raiding guild enmasse.

So our friends pulled their toons into the ready made guild. They also pulled some of their former guildies in as well. And started trying to organize their own raiding guild, or at least their own heroic running guild. There is still drama because it really seems that there is no way to get away from it on Argent Dawn Alliance side.

And because this happened at roughly the same time as Viljo and Kuan were pulled into Darkfall both our Horde and Alliance mains were suddenly in raiding guilds at the same time. Of course our night elves are only level 60 and haven't been to outland for more than professions, but still they are in a raiding guild.

draNgNon progress 9/3

Well, gee, circumstances sort of affected me and I made hardly any progress at all on last week's list. I guess really, my list sort of changed. I'm not going to bother with the little table I normally put. Here is about all I got done:

Kuanchichi
• ran Heroic Mech a couple times - now has 30 badges
• ran AV enough to get his chest
• reguilded with Darkfall
• Friendly with Violet Eye!
• Honored with Ogri'la and Skyguard
• broke +1000 heals on healy gear

Eeyan
• 18-slot AD bag (for a visual distinction)
• ducked into BRD with Teltanara for her first kill-quests.
• Teltanara Andorhal beacons
• helped Teltanara clear Burning Steppes...
• ...mining all the way, selling the bars

That's about it. Doesn't sound like much, but that was a lot of AV, and running around with Teltanara. Actually she got big enough that now Eeyan is starting to generate XP and has gone up a few percent of level, now.

Ok, so, bad timing wrt new guild goodness but we are taking a vacation starting this week! The vacation dates overlap badly with my progress ones; there won't be an update for two weeks. So over the next two weeks, I wonder what I can get done... here's a focus/todo list.

Kuanchichi Lower City rep, mount money, primals, and practice w/heroics
• run Heroic Auchidoun-something...
• mats for riding crop
• battlegrounds
• clear Dukes in Silithus, damn it
• turn in the wingman quest in AV
• pick up Violet Signet
• spellthread for new healy pants
• mats for another healy weapon enchant

Eeyan Ony key, 0.5 quests, blacksmithing, questing with Teltanara
• Onyxia key.
• mats for next 0.5 quest
• Hellfire Ramparts run
• bodyguard for Teltanara. it's so hard, soloing a holy priest

These two are the same as before. However, my playtime being limited I doubt I will get anything done...

Trismestigus epic ground mount
• quests in Silithus
• Honor Hold for profession training
• herbing for dollars, er, gold

Vhaas mount money, and Dranei rep for Elekk:
• clear Fallen Hero of the Horde questline
• clear Everlook quests
• clear outdoor Eastern Plaguelands quests
• 300 cooking
• neutral with Timbermaw Hold
• friendly with Thorium Brotherhood
• run BRD again...!

BRD

Khyrie and Vhaas have 5 quests in Blackrock Depths. They are all in the harder part of the instance. We decided to try to get a group for them this evening. It ended up being the two of us (both 60), a 56 mage, a 52 feral cat druid, and a 52 arms warrior. This wasn't the ideal group, but with some discipline and teamwork it should be fine.

The warrior is a newb, not in the idiot sense (mostly), just in the new to the game sense. Vhaas almost lost it a couple of times when the warrior stood behind the ice trap to pull. So much for a trap on those pulls. :( The warrior is also not very good at noticing that Khyrie is getting hit. This results in the warriors death a couple of times as I can't get the heal off in time while being interrupted.

The mage is aggro happy. My main is a mage, I know how to play mage. You don't start firing off frostbolts before the warrior has done more than throw a knife. You also don't send your water elemental at the trap to "see if my ele could tank the mob". The ele lasted roughly 2 seconds, thus leaving a pissed of mob with no crowd control.

The other druid is group leader because the warrior didn't want to mark. This person was quite pompous. I felt like I was in MC or BWL again with all the raid warnings popping into the middle of the screen. When we finally made it to the Bar he was trying to explain everything to everyone and was actually getting bits wrong. So I asked who hadn't been to the bar. Turns out that everyone except the warrior is an alt! OMG WTF BBQ!! Who would have thought that this other druid wasn't the only one playing an alt. So after that he was much less wordy, and much less enthused about "running us through" BRD.

Anyway we made it to the bar. And 3 of us die trying to kill Ribbly. The people left don't get loot sparkles, and by the time the rest of us get there his corpse has despawned. So all that work and no quests done.

I would call this a comedy of errors but I just wasn't amused.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the other druid would just randomly mark stuff "so that we would know where it was". Only sometimes his marks didn't mean that but were kill order. So it was completely frustrating to try to guess what the marks meant.

reputation woes

I want Vhaas on an Elekk. She doesn't even have an epic ground mount! Nor will she have one anytime soon; 37G, is what she has.

Now, Zalona has an Elekk. Damn it! I am just behind with all my toons. I just lose at Wow.
