The Cauldron

He he - well usually we have raid messages yelling 'do not move'!!! The first time it was pointless because I died in 10 seconds the second time we did great.

Yeppers, the first time I went in there I just pivoted to cast a spell and boom I was dead.  We'll see how it goes next time.

My Horde Shammy on Perenolde (Jalasea) dinged 20.  Shammy;s become much most interesting at 20 with Ghostwolf, res, frostshock, and the ground shaking totem.

Reincarnation, water walking, air totems, mail at 40 and elementals that fight for you are also great additions. It's still my favourite class... which is maybe why I fancy levelling another one to 70.

I'm having a blast with my frost mage Roswynn, she just dinged 47. I switched her to enchanting and tailoring so I can wear those cool BOP tailoring items.

Start saving all the netherweb you can from your other toons, it's very much needed for the blue items you will need to make to level to 375. BM is a nice grind spot for it.

I can never seem to get into leveling a hordie. Usually cuz nowadays once I get home I eat, chill out for half an hour then go raid.

And now, due to requests for Priests in the guild, I'm leveling a brand new toon on the horde side named Zala'jin.  He's level 15 Troll Priest right now.  Will level as Shadow and respec Holy (maybe) when he's ready to raid.

Hmmm, it looks like I need to update my character profiler add on.

Looks like I fixed my character profiler add on.  Ran through Ragefire Chasm and Shadowfang Keep, dinged 20 and am now wearing the new and improved Robes of Arugal. I got some other goodies too but I cant wear them until a level a little.  I'd have to say that making money at this level is MUCH easier than it used to be.  I had 36 gold at level 19 just from mining copper. Then I went and bought a bunch of wool to level my tailoring so it's gone now.  But having rich level 70's around to drive the prices up really helps the little guys who are trying to save for a mount.

Let me know if you want to do SM or ZF with your hunter, G.  Morteal is in the 60s and she should be able to help you clear it out pretty well.  I could use the loot drops for disenchanting and for building up my training gold to ride my Epic Frostwolf.

Dagnammit - I got sucked back in. The Potbs servers were offline the other day and the bf ended up playing with his 'epic bull' (his words...) again. So I logged my enhancement shammy and got to grips with being a blender again. Oh my, it's fun.

Plus now the blue pvp rewards from vendors mean that you can gear up 70 alts quite easily. Quite a bonus, if, like me, you have nearly 3x70 alts... Phlox's greens are all gone and she is blue with a hint of purple. Oh, tell a lie - there is a green trinket left I think. Plus now she is honoured with all the heroic dungeon factions (only just in some cases) she can do all the heroics and gear up a bit better.

The nicest part was that a guild invited me - and where normally I ignore all invites - this guild is exactly what we want. Very small, mainly older people, just doing some heroics and a pit of pvp. No Kara grinding or end game grinding; perfect! Unwise Elders asked me back, and although I liked the people there, it's not what I want. They have Gruul on farm and are doing SSC and the Eye. I could have been swanning about in Tier 5 by now, but it's not a priority for me. Ahh well.

Well, never liking to wait around, we dived into the Magisters' Terrace tonight. Ho-boy. Some of the mobs on Quel'Danas made me think that Blizz are improving the AI of their mobs and I was certainly right.

This 5 man is really hard. You have two pretty easy bosses to start with that come in quick succession, the first is like the boss in Coilfang where you have to kill the er... cell thingies it charges up; except this time it's crystals. Easy. The second is a mini Curator - kill the spawns and it's over fast. The tricky bits are actually the mobs, there are lots of large groups  (4-5 + imps etc) and I would say a minimum 2+ cc in there is essential.

Now... the third Boss is actually in a group with 4 mini bosses. All are very hard and I'm sad to say we didn't get past them. Even with a hunter and a mage it wasn't enough cc. One of the guys in the group said that he's heard the 4 mobs referred to as about the standard of good pvp players and apparently they all use potions to heal when they get to 20%. The cheek! Anyway, it was chaos and after wipe 2 we went our respective ways. I would have stayed on and kept trying - but the menfolk threw in the towel.

All good fun though - but I think next time I'll take my mage for extra cc.

A side note - has anyone had problems with crashes when they log out now? Both Mike and I have had it a few times in the last couple of days (and unlike me he has removed all of his add-ons; so it's not that) Really strange.

Yeah I've had the same problems when logging out.  I usually end up terminating WOW from the Task Manager.  Hopefully they'll fix it with a quick patch on Tuesday.

I have been caught up in the dailies trying to get all of the goodies back that I won on the test server.  Unfortunately they nerfed the drop rates quite a bit ont he live version so I'm sad.

Everyone that I've talked to about MrT says that they've given up on boss #3.  I went in with a pug on the PTR and got smeared all over the place so I haven't been back.  Heck I'm still enjoying the heck out of Karazhan.  But I'm looking at ZA and Gruul next.  I'll probably see if I can switch groups after the end of the semester.

Last night, Stephenn all by himself, crashed a party that the Epic Dolls guild was having in Silvermoon. It was way back in the building with the portal to Undercity. So getting there was challenging.  Once I got there I rezzed in a place where I wouldn't aggro the guards and partied with Mystic Cartel and Epic Dolls. 

Pictures Here.  If you look close you'll see Roswynn too.

Roswynn dinged 48 a little while ago.  10 more levels and she'll be in Outland doing quests.

Ding 50! She got her Water Elemental! I've been farming the Furbolg in southern Felwood to get Mageweave and work on Timbermaw rep.

I got a bunch of TCG cards yesterday and it gave me points to buy the [Tabard of Frost] for Roswynn.  She's a frost mage so it made sense.  I got her tailoring up to 260 so she's starting to work with runecloth now.  The first thing I made was the [Frostweave Robe] and a [Runecloth Belt]. I just wish it would cover her elbows.

I'm slowly working my way to being exalted with the Shattered Sun Offensive, I'm about 1/3 through revered now. I'm after the Pendant of Acumen as it it would be nice to put my Scryer rep to good use. We also finally found enough time to do Magisters Terrace and complete it. Quite a tricky last boss too, all that flying around and avoiding spheres was a lot of fun. But sadly the phoenix hatchling did not drop. I have to say I really like this instance, it's like Blizz combined all of the good bits from other dungeons and made it into a fun and challenging run.

Oh G - how are you getting on with the fishing dailies? I've been doing them the last week and so far  no mini pet croc. On the plus side; I got the fishing line on the first drop and the lager recipe not so long after.

---

Avatar by me.

No luck for me on the Fishing dailies yet either.  I only got the Lager recipe so far.  They REALLY changed the drop rates from the PTR. Although a couple of people in the guild have the crocks already and one actually got [The 2 Ring].  He later sold it for 2000 gold.

Edit: Added the Wowhead link. - G

Oh right, figures - I was lucky to get the fishing line first drop. I had to look up the '2 ring' ... wow, that would be awesome for my shammy. More reason to cross my fingers when I open my fishing bags from now on.
