Married IRL

Feel like doin’ something silly?  Has expansion-itus taken it’s ugly hold on you and your crew?

Not to worry, there’s still plenty to do while you wait for Spore to come out. ^.^

I’ve been the epitomy of total goof off these past few weeks since raiding was put on hiatus.  Here’s what I’ve been doing with my time (since I can’t beta test a razzafrackin’ priest /grumblegrumble.)

On Shu’s PvP realm of Illidan, Celli and I have two little baby huntards.  They’re Night elf (of course) cute as punch, and so far I think we’ve reached 26?  27 maybe?  Haven’t seen too much PvP action, but then again, we’re just branching out of the alliance only areas.  We’re still young.  XD  Though a few interesting things of note:

• Two level 21 hunters can indeed duo Deadmines and kill VC
• Mages are squishy
• Serpents are just AWESOME in the water… have you seen their swim?!
• Leggings of the Fang look just silly on me. No really… they do : /

In other news, I transferred my Squeake over to Kael’thas to hang out with B-Quad and crew ^.^  Much fun there!  I just couldn’t level yet _another_ warrior and Squeake (now known as Janelle) was just gathering dust on Drenden.  So, not only do I get to hang out with some pretty fun peeps on a max’d toon, I now have space on Drenden for a DK! /cheer

I won’t have to delete Giddg now.  Yay!  Oh cheer up, I said YAY… silly gnome.

Anywho, I tried to PvP a bit on the Giddglet this weekend, since it was AV weekend, but alas, battleground PvP makes me want to stab my eyes out with baby gerbals.  It’s. Just. That. Bad.

I wonder if she’ll make it to 80.  She might.  Killing Spree sure sounds fun… O.O

I had a thought the other day though.  I was leveling a baby druid over with the Devils, and realized… Gawd I’m bored!  I have lots of fun with the PvP server, but I can’t level her without Celli, it would mess up their two-huntard-killing-machine vibe.  So, I dusted off Leilu, the Venture Co druid I played waaaaaaaaay back when in like November er something, when I was feeling anti-social and adventurous all at once.  The Venture Co is an RP-PVP server, so while it has that “ZOMG I’m gonna die!” vibe, it also has that “AND I MUST RP IT” addition.  Though, running for your life and trying to emote at the same time is a bit difficult. O.O

I’m definitly having some fun.  Alliance are kind of outnumbered here, but the server population seems a tad on the medium to low side, so it almost seems likea  ghostland a lot of the times.  When I come across Hordie around my level, both of us seem to have the same thing in mind.  Our desire to finish our quests and level outweighs our desire to throw down right there and then.

Though I did make an exception once.  Stupid warrior killed all my quest givers, and then started leaving the scene of his crime with 15% health!  That’s just ASKING for it.  /huff

Also, I just can NOT level Balance.  Just can’t do it.  Call me spoiled, but feral is just tons more fun, not just easier byt fun!  I was constantly needing to drink after like 3 fights as balance.  I’m like the Energizer Bunny as feral, I keep going!  I can take out mobs 5 levels above me with adds even!  Which for me is still pretty nifty.  As a priest, I think I got spoiled with the wanding and the epic mana regen even at lower levels.  Leveling Balance felt like I was in a constant state of OOM!  Not good for mah wallet thar, ’specially since I am grinding my own cashes XD

Oh and at the moment, I’m leveling my fishing…. /headdesk  I started around 4ish at 14, I’m up to 205and climbing.

Undead seem to really like me on this server too.  I’ve been flirted, hugged, patted, buzzed and all sorts of other things I couldn’t understand by Undead mages and Warlocks.  It’s… a tad unsettling.  Makes my fur all prickly.  (SHHHHH I’m trying!)  The RP aspect doesn’t seem to very pronounced here, unless you make it so.  Punctuation is key!  If someone punctuates, I <3 them instantly and do my best to be not as crankily feral to them ^.^

i haz a den

So yea.  Drenden wise, I was pondering trying to raid with some of my raiding guildies on Rakzha, but decided that, you know what, enjoy the vacation while you can! XD

I will be kinda I dunno, sad, that I’ll probably never get the Hand of A’dal over Cay’s head, but then again, I don’t even know if she’s going to be my main come Wrath.  I might go SPriest full time, or hell, maybe even Feral full time (Druids are my second favorite class, and really, I just love being feral XD).

Who knows, right?

I leave you with this thought:

Why do Yeti’s make such ^tiny snow prints when they have HUGE feet?!

Edit for silly things like links and spelling >.>

I started another alt.

Now, I start random alts on random servers when I get stressed/bored/suffering from insomnia/laziness, etc ad nasuem…

But I might have gone over the deep end.

I deleted Lekklana, my 31 NE hunter because she was boring. She looked boring, her pets were boring, I was bored bored BORED with her!

Then I went ahead and made a BE hunter, Stephi. He’s dreamy. He’s 30 now, so he has a slightly scary milestone coming but I do think I’ll make it through this time. I know (vaguely) what I’m doing Horde side now and I’ve been having a blast leveling skinning and herbing to my hearts content with him.

But I’m not talking about Stephi. Nooooooo, you see, a guildie quit playing and donated his acct to the guild, aka all the stuff he’s gathered up on it can be used for the guild, and Jas and I can pass on his toons to whoever might need them, or use them ourselves in case one of them might be needed. I’ll miss the guy too, he was uniquely awesome. But you see, now Fio and I are gonna be paying for this here acct (this guy was an organized farming MACHINE) and it had a few slots open and ya see I was so bored last night and the white hair looked soooooo pretty…

Edit# 4:  I’m really starting to get ticked off at this layout.  The pictures I put run into to the previous post.  Wth?  Why is it doing that?

I may have to change layouts /grumble

Firstly, I must woot.

That is a very dead fishy matron! /cheer

And now back to our regularly scheduled posting…

___

At this point, this is a very necessary list of stuff I need to do. I’ll forget otherwise. I have many projects.

1 - Level Squeake to 70, learn how to tank on a warrior.

This project is well under way, and has a bit of a side project to it in that she needs to level BSing to full, drop mining and add alchemy, level that to full, get her 30 tokens each to get her Reins of the Black War Tigger (only black mounts will grace her WAHREEOUR bottom), and toy with the possibilities of xfering her to an RP server. Hehe. I dunno. She just seems so RPable. ^.^
Edit: Ok, maybe not Alchemy… the thought has crossed my mind to try and get Phelyx rez’d. It’s gaining popularity in the chaos that is my brain. See point #7 for details.

2 - Level Rakzha’s skinning, then level Leilu’s Leatherworking.

My poor Shammy, Leilu, has seen three toons pass her since her creation. Rakzha, Moon and now Squeake. I created my Leilu when BC came out. She’s stuck at 43. I will level her… eventually. Her JCing is maxed for now, at 305, and I’ll start funneling her the necessary ores for max JCing after that once she hits 50.

3 - Get Rakzha some PvP gear.

She has some, the Unyeilding Girdle and Bracers, her trinket (5 min), the ghetto blue hat and chest, and her Battlecast set (I know, not really PvP, but it’s still pretty awesome) and her S1 gloves, but she needs more if she’s going to survive Arena. I don’t Arena much though, too busy leveling another alt. ;P It WILL GET DONE! But now I know what needs doing ^.^

4 - Find out why Sasha’s HP is still crappily low and fix it.

Sasha has 4 pieces of T4 now (All but chest) and is in dire need of heroic badges to get some DPS gear that isn’t laughable. I’ve been so caught up with making her a tank, I’ve pretty much ignored her DPS capabilities, which is bad, because what good is a feral druid if they don’t have DPS gear when they’re not tanking? What does this mean? Well, badge farming and primal farming for starts.
FYI, I HATE FARMING. I hate dailies, I hate farming, I really hate repetitive tasks. Leveling alts to 70 may seem like the epic of repetition, but when you’re doing it with a different class each time (Rakzha doesn’t count, I love priests!) then things are still different, because there’s new ways to tackle old problems, ya know?
As it stands, Rakzha is my skinner, Sasha is my uber farmer (herbalism and druids is just so OP! ^.^)

5 - Moon, Stephi, levels, money, ARG FARMING!

Poor Moon. She’s in the ghetto PvP blue gear because try as I might, I cannot get a regular group for anything on Drenden Horde side. I’ve really wanted to just say screw healing and go prot and try getting groups that way, but honestly, unless you’re guilded with the big boys, no one wants you. So I’m stuck for now it seems. Ah well.
Stephi on the other hand, needs some leveling love soon. He’s Moon’s money maker, and at level 24, he’s not making a whole ton of money. I plan on making him an herbalist/skinner or herbalist/miner, not sure which yet. (Probably skinning, it’s easier to level.) Then I’ll drop mining on Moon, pick up Alchemy (which I’ve been missing my potion whore dearly on horde side XD) and start with the potion making. Until Squeake is that magic number though, can’t level Stephi.

6 - Cay owes Fio 1500 gold still.

Did I mention how much I hate dailies?

7 - Demona, wtf?

I have pretty much let my little Lock stay at 29. She’s not a twink, she’s just… not being leveled. I wonder sometimes if I should just reroll her. Every time I try to get into the lock mood, I fizzle out. So for now, she’s an unknown. I may keep her, I may not. At this point, I don’t need to level her alchemy because I’m gonna make Squeake my Potion Bitch. I deleted Lekklana, my NE huntard, because of the feelings of apathy I had about leveling her. Demona’s getting there. Maybe I should just delete her and ask to restore my mage Phelyx?

8 - DO NOT LEVEL LUNARI

I spent good hard gold to make her my lvl 19 mage twink, DO NOT SCRATCH THAT LEVELING ITCH.
Though it’s really hard. She’s just ooooooooone level away from BLINK! T.T In fact…

9 - Delete Demona, try and get Phelyx restored.

Since Celli and I started leveling a pally/mage on an RP server, playing the mage has made me nostalgic. I leveled Phelyx to 42 (or 43?), got her tailoring up to 300, her alchemy to like 285 or 300 (I forget) and then deleted her to make room for Rakzha cause I’m a noob. I want my mage back. (Commence the end of the world, because I NEVER thought I’d say that. XD) Question: on a character that’s been restored, do they come back with their professions intact? If not, no biggie, I can commence with the Squeake Pot Bitch-if-cation and get Phelyx her tailoring and maybe something else (who knows). If so, then Squeake is free to try a different profession. We shall see.

EDIT: So I got Phelyx restored, Demona is gone, and I’m learning the ways of a squishy fire mage.
Stay tuned! XD

PS: Farming BG tokens SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS. T.T

So yea, remember Friday I talked about a certain challenge with a certain priest who was 30 and I was 25 and I had 24 hours?

I did it! With a little (ok, a metric butt ton of) help from Fio. We did 5 levels in 8 hours. It was nuts! He basically killed stuff, I turned in the quests for XP, and viola levels!

We started the whole thing over at VC, aka the Deadmines, cause I was silly and had never finished my VC questie there. I needed to so I could get the Stockades questie, and then from VC we’d head over to Stocks and pwn some silly rebellious prisoners.

See? Silly prisoners…

So, after pwning those newbs, came out side and talked to this guy, who then said, “Hey you’re level 26 now! Get out of here!”

Dude I leveled! You’d think the Capitan would he happy…

Anywho, we left the whiner and headed over to Redridge, which while I was swimming to drop of that Curse of Stalvan thingie… I had to giggle.

Jaw’s ain’t got nuffin’ on mah Blade!

I was getting so much XP from these quests though that during our purging of the stupid (and smelly) Blackrock orcs, I dinged 27.

Nothing to see here guys… ignore the big glowy aura I had two seconds ago, K?

Once the orcs in the keep were sufficiently humbled by my (read: Fio’s) awesomeness, we went to kick some Orcish Champion tail and met this pally a long the way. She needed Champions too, and while inside we both wanted to let out the very hurt and therefor walking at a slow pace Corporal Keeshan.

She was thankful and then went on her merry way once the Corp was in the clear.

Once that was done, time to head back to the inn, get smashed, finish a quest or three and then head on over to Duskwood while I’m still buzzed. It was time to start killing Worgens ^.^

They make purdy art.

Lots of dead worgen, tons of re-dead skeletons, liquefied ghouls and a Mor’Ladim later, and I dinged 28 in time to give Mor’s daughter’s ring back to him. Huzzah!

Ok, now that you got that ring, and I have your sword, can ya stop killing the newbs in the grave yard? Please?

So, more killings, more quests turned in, and then the huge long ass running around in SW so everyone and their mother knows exactly what you did when, where and why, and I dinged 29! Which was apparently too much for Stormwind, cause the waterways parted…

Sea isn’t red, but that’s ok wif me!

Around this time, Fio was getting tired, and I did promise to run the Cow through some stuff, so we took a break. But it was still pretty awesome that by just finishing the quests as fast as possible, I got 4 levels on like almost 0 rested XP (I think I started with like 20% rested.)

Few hours later though and Sabby’s all like, well well well, 29 eh? Let’s go do GNOMER!

So we did. And I dragged the Fluffy Teady-Bear of BOOM with us.

Note to self: Do not stand under the rocks when the gnome blows them up.

Once I learned my lesson the hard way (isn’t that how warriors like it?) we proceeded to run rampant through the gnome city, oh and every possible weapon that could drop in that place, did. So I now have a FREAKIN’ ARSENOL of toys! ^.^

Turning in all the questies to all those gnomes in Iron Forge is what dinged me, just in time for Sabby to see.

So yea, that was an awesomely fun time. Oh and to celebrate, Fio (he’s such a doll) got me my very own Azure whelpling! Now I know Squeake’s not going anywhere. This guy’s too cute!

So, I mentioned that I have a lot of alts, right?

Well, I have this bad tendency to run out of space for said alts. Ten is the character limit per realm, unfortunately, so there’s been a few times where I’ve had to delete toons to make room for more.

The first time you do it, make sure it’s a doozy. Or else you’ll never be able to do it again.
