Mordeh on the rise. Heffasita close behind.

Man what a fickle person I am. Until I can get me a copy of the BC I will be playing very little of my Rogue. I will use him for farming mats and such.

I have bee working on leveling my Warlock Mordeh. He is close to level 27 right now. I am so enjoying it. I got a hold of a macro made for grinding and it is working so well. I have been able to burn down as many as 8 mobs an just a few minutes. I’m talking 8 mobs in like less then 3 minutes fast. I can’t imagine the speed I can achieve if I was to just sit and blast through the quests especially the kill quests. I don’t think I will have too much trouble with elites as well since I can just spam out the curses, have Blue tank until he is dead then chain fear the mob. I did this on a level 26+ elite mob and survived with just one hit to me. I think he will keep me sharp for using the priest since both are squishes and need care taken not to get hit too much.

I have been able to level my priest Heffasita to level 20. It only took a few days of work and a lot of patience. I may even get to like it as a shadow priest. We will see. I also got her enchanting up to the next max of 225 and will need to level her to 35 and do an Uldamun run to get her the next levels/recipes. This will prolly wait a while and can. She only needed to be 225 to DE all the stuff up to level 60 items. If I find I have a lot of drops with Mindkiller after I get into the Outland then I will consider leveling her up to the required level. I will prolly be able to make a double box effort with my rogue as the clearing character while the priest tags along for the ride. It will most likely be cake and if I can get some guildies to help it will be that much faster.

Epics will not be shown today on account of BC.

Once again I have been slow of the mark. As I geared up for a long haul up the honor hill the Burning Crusade Expansion rolls out. On time and without too many hitches. Now the BGs are ghost towns. With barely enough people for a single game, or at off peak no BGs at all. So I am stuck with a huge stack of AB tokens I will most likely never use and a whole mess of game time wasted. Yes wasted as the fun was minimal to nonexistent and the reward nil. I have not gotten one reward since the new change to the PVP system. If it is possible to earn honor in the BC maybe I will be ok. It all depends on when I get me a copy of the exp. I will plow up to level 61 and see if the new bracket has any life in the BGs. I have seen some amazing loot drop for guildies and the quest rewards while not spectacular are level appropriate for when new 58-60s get into the Outlands. So I will most likely be shelving Mindkiller and playing my alts until I get me a copy. I have been meaning to level my enchanter to 20 so she can DE the loot I get with Mindkiller.

Very depressed I have no money to spend on my addiction.

Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory.....Epics mmmm.

It seems my updating is getting more and more lax. I will try to do better I promise. (As if any one is actually reading this.)

I took a bit of time to grab as much cash as I could so I could learn to ride the Epik mount I had sitting in storage. It took me about a week and a half to farm up the 450g I needed to get the training. Not to bad I think. After I spent that, money just started flying in much faster then it had when I needed it. Oh well. The money will go toward good things for me any way.

I have made it to Exalted with Darnassus on Mindkiller. I got a jones over the new years weekend and decided top slam out some Elf quests. With the boost to rep being applied I just planted myself at the Nelf starting area and blew through all the quests available to me. I was getting an average of 250 rep points per quest. I started out with 1500 in Honored and blasted my way to 16770 in revered. After that I did a few other quests around felwood which pushed me real close to the mark. After buying 60g worth of runecloth I dinged EXALTED and ran over to pick up my brand new Mistsaber Mount. This was a piece of cake. I hope rep is as easy to get in the BC as it looks to be a major necessity to doing dungeons and gaining rewards.

I wasn’t really interested in doing PVP until I saw a post about how the GM weapons will last awhile in the BC. So I started to collect the required AB tokens about a week ago. This is going to get grueling. I am up to 40/80 AB tokens so halfway to my goal. I’m aiming for a GM sword, dagger and the kick ass X-bow. I do more damage per hit with my bow then with my melee. Sad. I may even shoot for the shoulders and anew helmet depending on how well I can accumulate honor. If it drags on I will cut my losses and go for the weapons. I am not sure what the BC will do to the AV and AB matches. I am hoping they will still be ok population wise but who knows. I just can’t see everyone getting a copy of the BC on or near the opening date. So honor gain might slow down to a crawl. It’s something I keep thinking about. Will this all be worth it if I keep at it long enough? I didn’t get on the PVP wagon when it changed. I was fresh off of the grind to Exalted with SP and gaining Knight rank before the changes. I was burned out on PVP so I missed the huge head start most got before hey nerfed the amount of honor gained per match/kill. Stupid me, now I'm paying for it. I don’t see that I will have much to do till I get me a copy of the BC. PVP will be my focus for awhile again till February. Maybe I’ll get my hands on a copy then.
