Last night was quiet. Too quiet! We were short a few DPS last night for some reason to do Kara.  We knew that one of our healers was not going to be around, but I replaced her quickly. Some others that logged in were not able to join because their latency was reaching 5 digits! So… Instead of having everyone sit around, I called it and rescheduled it for Sunday night.

Afterwards, I logged into Fizz and Furis and laid waste to Dustwallow Marsh and the quests in the southern end there. I leveled them all the way up to 41 there and I’m pretty happy about it.  Fizz was finally able to get the Darnassus teleport (but no portal) and can also now get the other portal spells so he can port peeps around! 

I also finally dumped mining on Furis and picked up enchanting so I can disenchant stuff (i guess).. I really don’t know why i bothered, but why not?  I will replace Fizz’s mining with inscription when the patch comes out that adds it in.

I was wondering today if they are going to include the transition to Spellpower itemization in the pre-wotlk patch. It seems to me that they would have to because they are changing the talents and such, but I guess it is possible that they wouldn’t. With the other changes they are going to be making with regards to buffs and stacking and such, did they say anything on how flasks and elixirs would sit into this? So, could you still use a Elixir of Fortification AND a Fortification buff from a priest?

I’m sure I just missed something in the message… Tonight is a scheduled SSC run, but know of quite a few people that will not be able to attend so I have a feeling we will not be going.  Also, the rescheduled Gruul’s run from Tuesday is on Saturday and will probably fall to the same problem. I still need to get my last arena match in to enable Fyra to pick up her gloves or book.  Fimlys is still 5 badges short of the chestpiece but should hopefully be able to get them on Sunday when we head back into Kara.

If we don’t do a raid tonight, I will probably log back into Fizz/Furis and go head into the Swamp of Sorrows.  I remember a few nice quests there.  Also on that list might be Badlands, Tanaris, Feralas and/or STV. The beauty of STV is there are many quests all around each other.  I can bang those out pretty quickly on these guys and get their levels up faster. I have another 18 more levels to go and it’s still moving pretty well.  I need to also spend some more time with macros and buttons and such.  I’m still getting used to the multibox thing and if things get out of hand, things don’t end well. 

Well, maybe not a list.. Here are some goals I have right now. (it’s good to have goals, right?).. Ok, so it is a list. These are all things that I am working on right now (kinda).  I have been leveling my rogue for a while now with Pil and Kezz. I have also been working on my Pally and mage for a little while.

• Get Fimlys his 100 badges (I’m 5 short right now).  Kara tonight should fix that..
• Get Freez to level 70 and gear him up.
• Get Freez’s professions leveled (Enchanting and Jewelcrafting) with an emphasis on JC.
• Level Fizz and Furis to 60 (at least)
• Grant levels from Furis to another toon before 60 (Warlock/Warrior/Shaman ?)
• Level up Fizz’s Engineering talent
• Level up Furis’ Blacksmithing talent (not as important at this point)
• Swap Fizz and Furis’ Mining for something else? Fhuun is a 375 miner, don’t need another. Skinning might be good for one of them (probably Furis) so I can skin what we kill. Not sure what else would be worthwhile…

Those are my “personal” goals.  I also have some guild goals:

• Be able to put together a 25-man raid more reliably
• Move on to be working on even more of SSC and regularly clear Gruul’s and Mag.

There might be more, but I am drawing a blank right now … :P  Of course, these are all goals before WotLK comes out (although the ALT one might not matter as much…) After WotLK ships? Things will change..

We were supposed to run Gruul’s last night, but failed to get the requisite number of healers to even make an attempt… Ah well… But, on a good note, I got my Bank Guild setup! I have even filled up the first tab with CRAP.  Hooray for the packrat!

Anyway, we also got a group together to run Mana-Tombs with the level 66s. It is still pretty fun playing Freez and while we failed at the escort quest (we didn’t clear out all the rooms before starting it) we had a good time and got it done quick.  We had a Lvl 70 pally tank help us out in addition to a Lvl 70 Shaman (somewhat newly minted 70 though). 

After we finished that up, I logged into Fizz and Furis and ran a couple quick quests in Theramore to get them to level 37.  I can easily get them past 40 in Dustwallow.  I am sure of it.  Next instance I ask someone’s help with will probably be Z’F to get my Carrots..

They are moving pretty quick up the levels and once I have time to sit and play them for a longer stretch, I’m pretty sure they will move even faster.  60 is in sight!  If I get them there earlier than expected, I might level a different dynamic duo possibly.. I wonder how 2 warlocks would do!  Hmm…. Or maybe a warlock and shaman…

Well, tonight is my Kara run. I’m bringing Fimlys in to pick up the last few badges he needs for the IoQD Badge Chestpiece.  I guess I miss playing him a bit too.. I’ll talk to y’all tomorrow.
