Last week's goals

From Last Week:
This weekend's goal:
Get Devynity honored with Lower City
Get Devynity honored with Sha'tar
Get Devynity honored with Cenarion Expedition
Get Devynity friendly with Keepers of time
Get Devynity friendly with a drunk elf
Get key for Shadow Lab
Get key for Tempest Keep Get to 70 (so i can equip most of the gear that will drop in the level 70 dungeons)
Level Krakken, who is currently 75, to at least be 78 (which should be easy considering he's got so much rested exp and im pretty familiar with northrend content.

So i got honored with Lower City. That was quite easy as i've already done a few Crypt/Sethekk halls runs. I only had to do several quests and was done with that. For the Cenarions, i had to do the quests in HFP and then three in Zanga.

I am currently friendly with the Sha'tar and Keepers of Time. Hopefully I can get a durnholde run once in a very logn while.
I am close to honored with the Sha'tar, but half of my Mech/Bot/Alca runs keep turning into wipe fests. Im pretty sure i would have better gear too, but yea.

I found the key for shadow labyrinth by accident. after killing talon king ikiss, i picked up two spirit shards. figuring that i may have missed two from the first boss, i ran back. then i read that someone in my party picked up the shadow labs key. omg omg. so i ran back to the dead talon king and found the chest in the back of his chamber. it was huge. why didnt i see it before? lol.

I leveled Krakken NADA this weekend. he did get one emblem run on friday, and that was all the action he got over the weekend. instead, i took Devynity to Bay of Storms and fished lobsters while waiting for instance queues. yep. got him to Jouneyman and went over to Sholazar to do the daily fishing. So much fun... almost dying. level 70 in a 75 zone isnt too great. maybe it will be better when i hit 72. but anyway. got the ghostfish sucker and yea. psychadelic... in black and white!

one thing about the lobsters is that its used as an easy 5 points from 295 to 300 cooking. Otherwise, someone's going to have to do DM runs for the Tuber recipe (and then find tubers). The darkclaw recipe isnt BOP, so you can find that in the AH. Greater mightfish and sunscale salmon are the other two fish that will get you to 300 easy. I am thinking i will sell each lobster for 5g each. 25g for the last five points to reach 300 cooking skill. that's not too much to pay for. i think i'll be making a few hundred gold, although not all at once. this is one of those slow selling items.

On a good note, i've been making about 210g profit for each Scroll of Enchant Weapon - Agility i post. They never come back unsold. and they always sell for 300g. that's 50% more than what auctioneer saw before. i am aparently the only one selling this stuff now. =]

I say 210 profit because the essence of airs are 60g to buy (though i can buy them for 10g each on certain days), and the shards total about 30g. so that's 90g invested. although i only buy the shards and i "farm for free" the airs. i can farm about 40 airs in about an hour, so that's 600g worth of stuff in one hour. now that 600g isnt going to come instantly. im investing for the long term returns.

2h Agility isnt selling as well though. i'd say the demand for that is 1/4 that of the agility enchant. the only class that will use the 1hander agility is druids. rogues dont have two handers. death knights have their runeforges, and paladins and warriors prefer strength. at least i think that's true. now i know agi increases physical crit, armor and dodge. so these can also be great pvp enchants for any melee class. i do see it selling slowly though. im selling it for only 500g anyway. it may be steep. but look at the rogue that coughed up 600g on a pair of agi for his daggers. the 2hand wielders are getting a 100g break!

In general, things are slowing down. Instances are taking a little longer to start (i imagine a lot of people do not want to do Botanica, mechanar, or Arcatraz. I'd rather do those than go through UK/Nexus again for the 1000th time. What i didnt get at level 69, which was really really dumb on blizzard's part, is i couldnt queue for normal outland randoms. i could not at all. i had to pick them individually. when i hit 70, i could only queue for random outland heroics. now i understand heroics is a 70s thing, but that about mechanar/botanica/arcatraz? shadow labyrinth? shattered halls? in normal? those are level 70 instances!! and at 69 i couldnt queue for ANYTHING in outlands. and at 70 i could only queue for outlands heroics. this is pretty broken if you ask me. even at 70, there's still some folks who would like to join a random for outlands. they beat Utgarde Keep in so many ways really.

And on that note, i'll have to pause and get back to RL work. i'll continue with my analysis shortly, if i have time to spare.
