End of expansion

So we are nearing the time that expansions end.  The beta will be out soon and then all will be WOD. So what to do in the meantime. .. LFR with the druid wife :)

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

Market watcher

So how do I get scans to save and display graphs? The dearest has asked me to work out how to use it.

I have added Frostweave and Netherweave cloth which is a start. The graph for Frostweave shows but the stupid graph only shows for that and not Nether. Ugh .... moan over :)

As I have decided to do other things than try and raid maybe making money would be a good thing. To that end I should level my rogue for the lockpicking, my tailor, enchanter and alchemist. For shags he need to get up his BS and JC. That should keep me going for ages.

Gnomeregon

And it begins... well the new starting area for gnomes is taking shape with a set of fun quests. Jumping down a pit and getting a parachute then in a similar way to the wrath gate getting a flag buff. All rather cool - shame i can't do a horde one as my hordie is only level five.

One of the things from the new quests is this suit on a four hour timer.

Shags

Continuance

So I dinged 80 and its been awhile. Since then I have geared up as a tank. Completed a whole loads of achievements - including dungeons, holidays etc. Changing guilds; I left High Born which sometimes I regret but the new guild is busy.

Why did I change?
Well High Born is where I started but not a lot is happening - well it wasn't but now they are in ICC .. ugh. In "Nightmare on elf street" (NOES) I chose them because they are the largest guild with Vent a forum and lots of people online. I however am very behind the curve on gear so am not good enough to raid - poo. Also when in raid school I think I managed to wipe us several times so not good. Since then I have been very non-groupy (real word) with other from the guild.


Steve however seems as always to be a steadfast player  - even though he is a bit slow and presses the wrong buttons a lot. Nice enough to be with though which is all that matters.

...

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.. :)

Update on multy gatherer

So as mentioned I started a death knight to be my gatherer character. How is it going? Since starting I have gone from 1500 to 4500 gold in the space of a couple of weeks. The best thing was the initial setup of routes and gathermate and then just selling evrything in sight. Hem has discovered the Darkmoon Fayre so we have agreed that she will keep the low quantity items from there and I have my Netherstorm ones.

As an aside hem needed some nightmare vine and being 78 means I do not get aggro even up close - I flew over to Shadowmoon Valley and had the starnge experience of being ignored - very odd.

To sum up should you do multiple gathering - yes most definitely.

Fayre enough

Darkmoon fayre. This also seems to be a limited sell place. Herbs, leather etc are quite popular - this one is for Hem though. The special item seems to be the frog pets; hint talk to the frog and the boy will stop and you can get the swag ;)

Weekend update - money...

So my lack of money and the plan to get more in from the last post. Mining and herbalism are definitely the way to go there. Sources are:

Herbalism and Mining on one character
Picking up low quantity items from traders

The best things:

• Silver - can someone explain why a 75 mining item sells so well?
• Fel iron bolts - must be a fluke but they sell
• Herbs - all sorts - see above piccy

A tip I have found. Buy up everything below where you want to place your auctions. As an example copper for some reason on my server is now 6g a stack at 200% so when anyone puts it up for normal price I just buy it all up and put back up for my price.

Have a nice day :)

As an example I picked up 563g in sold auctions on Saturday morning!
