busy time. Work has been a little busy lately (although it feels like I cant get anything done) and lots of things are finally being worked on. this gives me very little time to blog except for those 30 minutes before the boss arrives or the 30 minutes before I end my day. so, this is the 30 minutes before I end my day and start my weekend where I have just a little bit of time to just say hi and update you dear readers with what im up to.
my leveling paladin is now level 24 and a hair away from 25. he did two instances last night. actually one and a half. I zoned into a halfway finished razorfen krual (or was it downs? it’s the one with the big giant pig) and I hear the drama about the last guy who was kicked. lol. he was chosing "need" on every roll. this didn’t sit well with everyone else so he got booted. I joined and did 2nd on dps. woot. 60 dps ftw. yes… sixty. its funny how I noticed my dps at 16 to 24 basically doubled. but at 16, I had a bunch of greens enchanted. now I have several blues and 8 more levels. also, I noticed that my health went from 200 pre teens, to 600 at 20, and now 1100 hp. that’s also a big jump. I knew I had 600 ish health at 20 because that’s what I had to work with against luz and knucklerot. I am not sure when the next big jump in health and stats will be tho, but I do know that when I jump into outlands, I should have 3k to work with and hopefully get 5k by the end of the starting zone. 10k health by the time I reach northrend and 18-20k health by the time I hit 80. these are just health guages. I guess if I play my own style of play, I should also note how well my dps is at all levels, just to guage myself vs. other classes.
second instance: I did stocks again, actually we did it twice since it was so fast. I went from 0% exp to about 90% exp. gonna ding tonight. hopefully I'll be able to hit 26 also. there are no real loot drops there. just a bunch of bosses the alliance folks can get quest completions by killing. but nothing special for the horde. its ok though. we get a lot of wool from it and the bag of useful crap is always nice. wool sells well. but I never expected linen to sell so well. 7gold a pop. seriously. that’s crazy for linen. but my server has messed up prices anyway. I sold a one-handed level 12 sword for 19 gold. 19.99.99 actually. crazy.
I also never expected to be leveling this fast. before I knew it, I was out of ghostlands and currently have nowhere to really level. I will travel to STV shortly. =] but I've only really gone through SFK twice, WC once, VC once, and RFC once. now I really don’t have much fondness for WC, but the other instances are the awesomeness. I really would love to do SFK several more times along with VC (for the hordies, vc is deadmines). SFK is my fav instance to do mass pulls at 70, and now at 80, its even easier. being a latecomer to Wow, I started wow about two and a half years ago. my first instances were pretty bad, but I did ok. I was always afraid of joining a group because I never thought I would do well at all. I actually didn’t do my first ramps run until I was 65. most people were doing ramps at 58-60. yea, kinda afraid of all that in the beginning. but yea, when I started wow, not a lot of people were running SFK. many were getting runs from higher level friends and I felt it wasn’t worth the time and energy to run through these instances at all. now I somewhat regret it but am glad the LFD is making it a great way to level through your low levels. sometimes I wonder if bliz had us in mind for the most part when they made LFD. Of the two times I queued last night, one was an insta-que, the other was a wait of about 3 minutes. Amazing. at level 74, my dk is waiting 15 minutes (but that also could be due to the large numbers of DK's out there). I notice that my dk has never joined a group with another dk. never. (ok maybe once, but that's because i was dps and he was tanking. but never two dps dk's)
Other items: I have not tried making the herb bag on my warlock yet. I havent been back to do a daily random yet either. lol. JC on my new realm sucks, still. I am still contemplating making alliance toons, and leveling one to be able to at least get one profession down to max (I believe level 65 is minimum level for the grand master skill, so I have to pick a profession that does not require northrend quest).
final thought for today: I want to raid. but I was given a reminder why I cannot just last night. my daughter, now 30 months, or 2.5 years old, has taken a liking to playing wow. she doesn’t do much, but likes to watch my warhorse winnie. so I mount up and let her press the spacebar to make it winnie. also, she likes to make it walk… backwards. every now and then I have to walk by the computer and press M to remount. my mount is keybound to M, my map is keybound to Ctrl+M. side note: im thinking of unbinding F9-F10 because those are just bag shortcuts. I use B and it opens all my bags thanks to bagnon. so even if I cant raid because my daughter wants my attention instead of, baby einstein, or my neighbor totoro, jane and the dragon, or pecula or ni hao kai lan. isnt that pretty awesome? I'd rather spend some time playing with her anyway. so when she gets the itching to mess with my game, I cant keep a raid waiting 30 minutes to an hour just for father-daughter time. so no raids for me yet.
