Responded to a request to group for the “Overlord” quest in Hellfire Peninsula. I took the healing role. Went well. Four of us downed him on the second attempt. The second, and successful, pull was an accident while the tank was having a look around so we weren’t bunched up or properly totemed. Spammed Healing [...]
I usually do one of these after I’ve grouped, though normally they’re quite a bit more of a gentle nudging. What went well: Hmmm not an awful lot really. Eventually switched to Dual Wield which improved my mana conservation (Focused ftw) which in turn sped up the kill rate. I think. I didn’t use Flame [...]
Well and truly humbled last night. I’ve been looking forwards to doing some group questing for some time now, and last night I got the opportunity to team up with a guild mate, Venomsquid, that I have “admired” (not quite the right word) for a while. This is only the second time I’ve ever teamed [...]
Skilled cooking up to 300 by going to Silithus and doing the mandatory quest there, and then immediately skilled it up to 327. Flowersz has dinged to level 62, she spent over 23 hours at level 61. Yup you read that correctly almost an entire day on one level! The majority of it was spent [...]
Flowersz has enough mining skill (with enchanted gloves) to mine in Hellfire Peninsula. So that’s 17 hours at level 61, and I can assure you that most of that time was spent mining. Well actually looking for nodes to mine, but you know what I mean. For gods sake, if you ever want to take [...]
Flowersz now has a skill of 286 in mining after hours and hours of playing. Since you can’t mine anything in Outlands without a skill of 300 (make that 295 if you have the enchant on your gloves) I’ve still got 9 more flipping nodes to mine. At least there’s a little light at the [...]
I decided to get Flowersz mining up to scratch last night. She outlevelled her mining skill so that she was questing in areas where she couldn’t mine, which meant she couldn’t level her mining and so the vicious circle gets started. Anyway it took a good couple of hours just wandering around mining Mithril nodes [...]
I thought I’d try to make Flowersz a little more flexible in a group, so I’ve respecced 0/31/21 an Enhancement/Restoration hybrid. This should make her a capable healer, if not the best, in a group, and still keep reasonable levelling/DPS capability. I’ve held of doing this until I could get either Dual Wield or Stormstrike [...]
What a Faf! Yesterday I levelled my 2 handed axes and staves to 280 (out of 305 @level 61) . This isn’t enough to actually make them fully useful, to do that they should be at about 295. I stopped at 280 because I was getting bored after an hour or more. Some tips: There [...]
Well, Flowersz is currently tootling around Hellfire doing quests. Now she’s level 60 the amount of XP required to level has jumped tremendously so it’s back to the more traditional grinding. She’s done enough quests that pre level 60 she would easily have levelled. Still the quest rewards seem quite nice – so many pieces [...]
