Into the Blight… That’s right, I finally made it (officially?) to Dragonblight.. I’ve been there before and had the flight points due to instancing, etc, but this was the first time I went there knowing I was running out (well, maybe not) of quest hubs in HF. This morning I looked and I find I’ve missed a few hubs and should go back.. We’ll see.. :P
I also haven’t gone too far in Borean Tundra. I should also go do the quests there before I get too high level for them to matter..
So, anyway, Fimlys is now 73 1/3 or so.. I dinged 73 and kept right on trucking. Spent all last night doing quests (and getting free enchants!). It really is lots of fun. To anyone that I pissed off by accidentally pulling a mob you were going to pull or “using” something that was the quest result, I’m sorry. Some of the time I click and have no idea what it is doing (other than a bar shows up).. I was probably trying to skin something under/around it. When I see the skin icon show up.. I click it..
Fyra is level 71 now (I don’t remember if I blogged about that) due to a Nexus run and other Coldarra quests she finished the other night. I think there are still quests to do there and in the Nexus, but I’m not really playing her right now. I want to try to concentrate on Fim and see how it goes. I would be happy to get him to 77.. Of course, Fyra is my only epic flying.. So maybe she should be first.. Hmm..
Anyway, I hope you all liked the video. The song is Little Wonders by Rob Thomas. I thought it went well with the theme.. WotLK and Northrend in particular is just filled with these little events, these little “wonders” that just make the experience that much better. I tried to capture a few of them in the screenshots, but many times they go by too fast or I just plain forget…
Tonight will be more leveling for Fimlys.. I’ve been trying to keep up on sending my enchanter items to DE and have to go to my inscriber to get minor inscription research. I don’t know that I upgraded his inscription yet.. I should probably do that.. Anyway, I am outta here..
First, I have to say that WotLK is great. You can hear a lot about my adventures so far in the next Twisted Nether. Bre and I talk FOREVER about it..
What am I not enjoying? The queues.. Of course.. We’re not as bad as some, but it does cut into my play time. I wish I could already create a Death Knight on other servers where I Don’t have a lvl 55. I would roll on some lower pop server and play on my other account while trying to get onto Draenor.
Anyway, so I got Fimlys to 72 last night doing some instances (We’ve done Utgard, Nexus, Azjol-Narub (az-noob) and the other Ahk’something at az-noob). I’m loving each and every instance so far. Each is very different from the other and I have to say the bosses in Ahk-noob are just awesome. I also got my wasp, Slacker, to level 71 last night and Rico, the Gorillililla, is almost 71 also (like 1.7k to go.. lol). Fim has been questing mostly in HF (although he did some quests in BT and Coldarra too).
Fyra is on her way to level 71. She has been going slower because I am leveling her exclusively with Traebear and Jordey (Kezz’s priest), but we’ve been doing instances on other toons instead of leveling those.
Fim has also maxxed out Skinning (thanks to instances with lots of skinnable mobs) and is now > 400 in LW. I even applied the new bracer patch that gives like +114 AP! Very Very awesome… Fim also got a port to Dalaran from our first lvl 74 mage in the guild (Thanks blue!) so he’s been running around there and even did one of the cooking quests.
In general, I am having a blast with WotLK.. Oh! And Fim also got that Achievement for killing some number of turkeys in 3 min. Hint: Best place to farm the turkeys is just west of the Expedition Outpost in HF (at the crossroads there). Careful, when you earn the achievement lots of stuff becomes aggressive that wasn’t before.. It changes back when you die though (dunno if it does otherwise).
So, anyway.. I’ll leave you with a bunch of screenshots from the few days I’ve been running around in Northrend.. Have a good one!
