New questing

Well what can I say its rather cool. I resurrected my Warlock (a gnome of course) and:

• all my quests had been reset - I presume as they didn't exist any more
• realised that I was too high for the level of zone I thought I should quest in
• ok lets move to a new zone and on the way in a couple of hours: 2 dungeons, 2 levels, about 10 flight points

Oh the new way quests work - they pop up from mobs and autocomplete when you finsih them rather than having to find your way back to where you got it from - then the next one just starts... soo much easier.


Having 100% rested XP probably helped there though

Finally

So the end has come after just over a year since starting this character; I have finally achieved my first 80.. wooo

Not that anyone other than me is bothered but it was good for me.. so a nice setting for a screenshot and here it is..


That's me and a bear. So the wife was here to see me have no XP bar any more (that is odd) and "T" was in the background scolding my "Wowiness". I had a few comments from the guild which was nice.

So not it is finish up my normals and then into heroic instances and the Hemlokk badge chase.

all good fun.. :)

I can fly

So Christmas has come and gone and I have to go back to work soon.

The end result is:

• I have levelled to 77
• The Dungeon Finder is the coolest thing ever - being a tank I press get group and "bing" I have a group. hem on teh other hand has a 15 min wait as DPS
• The raid finder is poo as you can't queue for both - I presume they don't want you to bug out of an instance but it would be nice to have a choice
• I need a new processor/memory/mb combo as my lovely 28" monitor really stuffs up my FPS - I had to turn things down last night as I was getting 1 FPS at one point. So 6gb ram and i7 920 ready for next LAN.

ok thats it for now...

Level up

Well finally I reached 70; a bit of manouvering and a nice achievement snap. I will add a pic tomorrow as the iPod is rather limited on editing.

Life in WOW

So current WOW family news:

Priest Sunday
Awhile ago Viv and I started priests up to do them together (you know the face melting shadow type with a bit of healing in there too). We said we would only do these together however Sunday's are off the menu currently as Viv's enchanter needs to go up levels. She has found a person around her level and is doing that until she can DE infinite dust - come back after that...

Ding
I dinged 66 Saturday and 67 Sunday

Flying
I am in the odd situation of following others and I have chosen (for better or worse) not to fly until 70. Now that does mean I do not need to actually buy one at 70 either as moving to northrend means I won't be able to fly until 77 anyway... so do I try for epic only?

Patch 3.3
Buffs to shadow priests - woo
Glyph for Viv - read this Viv and then ask me...
