Ding 43! What to Kill? What to Kill?
Paladr’s quest log was full, and I have very little time nowadays (as evidenced by my last post date) to just play around, so it was time to get organized. I decided to attack the quest log systematically. One night, Phil and I were in the pira...
Ding 40!
Paladr hit 40 just before 11:30 tonight. It was a pretty fast run from 60% at about 90 minutes. I knocked out quite a few STV quests in the process. Too many quests in the log make me go nuts and lose focus. I concentrated on staying in mostly high...

Ding 39; Grinding away kill/drop quests
Paladr hit 39 last night and frantically tried to level out his Blacksmithing to 300 using the simplest and cheapest methods possible, only to fall short of the next recipe level at the trainer. I think Paladr is at 272 and must need 275 to get the n...

Ding 38; Herod’s Shoulder + Ardent Custodian
After running SM Library and Armory last night, Paladr dinged AOE grinding murlocs in STV this morning. Last night saw the much-drooled about Herod’s Shoulder, which I was the only person emminantly qualified to wear such an awesome piece of ar...
Ding 37; Really Itching to Equip My Epic
One more level to go for my Ardent Custodian MH mace. I read that it is likely the best pre-MC tanking mace available. I haven’t checked that claim, though I saw that one from Dire Maul has good stats but loses the Defense. I’ve been 37 f...
Ding 36; Scarlet Monastery Tankadin Time!
First thing’s first: I cleaned up my UI after I realized that there was still too much stuff in my field of vision. I hate the feeling of numbers everywhere, information blocking my view of potential threats, etc. I moved the minimap up to the...
Bhag’thera Down
I solicited Punitor’s help last night in STV to take down Bhag’thera (feel free to make fun of his hat). After waiting 15 minutes where he used to spawn, I found him over a felled log-bridge near the ogres. Then silly me aggroed 3 tigr...
Ding 34; STV or Bust
Paladr went all-out last night without rest to level and get another talent point. It was a longer haul at the end, but it was worth it to get Blessing of Sanctuary and a couple more spell rankings and… a BUBBLE!!I completely forgot about the...
Ding 33; AOE Grinding at its Best
I hit level 33 last night in the Growling cave in Hillsbrad Foothills trying to get Hecular’s rod to drop and then charging it at the braziers. I was at 52% when I logged in and noticed after 20 minutes that I only had 20 minutes left for the l...
2-manning Scarlet Monastery Graveyard
Last night Punitor and I attempted the insane: 2-manning Graveyard. We didn’t have any trouble getting through 2-3 mobs at a time, although it often took most of what I had in the way of mana and health by the end of a fight. We hit our stride...
Brewfest Is Underway, and Paladr Joined In
I upped my graphics last night for some anti-aliasing 2xQ on my ancient nVidia 5500. It slowed things down to about 8 fps, but I got nicer screenshots last night and object seem to “pop” a bit more. We went to Orgrimmar to run around do...
Ding 32; Soloed 37 Nimar the Slayer at 31
Last night, I didn’t think it could get any better when I soloed 5 like-level and higher mobs in Arathi Highlands. There were 2 31s, 2 32s, and a 33. I was so stoked, I challenged Level 37 Punitor to several duels outside Org… and proceed...
Ding 30, 31; Starting a Tankadin Run
It was quite a weekend with Paladr, as we were determined to hit level 30 to become a true tankadin. That moment has finally arrived, as I’m now able to take on multiple mobs in a fashion I’ve never done before, although, carefully. we re...
Ding 29; Working Tarren Mill Quests
I dinged 29 last night in just a short while, but spent a lot of time in Hillsbrad Foothills killing things for no XP to complete a few quests. I’m at 25% or so, but getting up to higher level mobs now. I want to get the recipes for the Green I...
Buttered Monkeys Are Now Recruiting
We are opening up applications to our fine Horde PvE guild of casual to semi-hardcore players. You will get the most grouping attention with a fast-leveling new player or a 30-something or a 60+. We currently do not have any level 70s, although some...
Ding 27; Blacksmithing up to 225/225
I dinged last night with the help of Punitor running some tough-to-do quests as a paladin. I got Steelsnap and the 30 Elite gizmo tiger and the 10 eggs before logging. I got my blacksmithing up to 225 and topped it off until level 35. I think I’...
Ding 62; Found a New Webgame - Duels
I dinged 62 last night after getting my giddy-up to level out for the evening. I got about 40% of the level done in one sitting by doing Zangarmarsh quests with full rest. Notable kill: Boglash went down with Tiggr still having 62% health and Huntr w...
Huntr’s First Outland Blue
Huntr was grinding away on a kill quest when a Shattered Hand Orc dropped him a present: Storm Lord’s Girdle. It sucks for Hunters, but it sells nicely for about 11g on Velen. No matter. I was happy to get a blue. I’ve spent a total of 4...
Ding 56; Considering Deathclasp
Sorry folks, but this is going to be a quick note before work. Class went its full length last night, so I didn’t play and blog yesterday… just play. I dinged 56 just a few minutes into my session. It came at 5d 23h 31m /played time. I ad...
Ding 52; Huntr Is Back on “The Guide”
I hit level 52 last night while killing off massive quantities of Un’Goro critters. I just started the “Un’Goro Grind” and arrived at the FP before hearthing to TB to train up my skills. I got back on track with Joana’s...
It’s MINE! My Mage’s Battle Baton
With the help of some Core guildies, I got my today. Crugg and Wakarathe and I took down the next 3 bosses, but needed to call in a trial member (sorry I didn’t get a screenshot to capture your name) to take down the final boss in awesome fashi...
Ding 49; Almost Done with Feralas
Huntr hit level 49 yesterday morning in Feralas with 3d 21h 43m /played time. I just tamed an Ironpatch bear with Claw Rank 7 to complete the rest of the quests until I hearth back to Camp Mojache to get Tiggr back out. With Hunter's Mark on, I'm doi...
Ding 48; Searing Gorge Is Rough
I came home yesterday and played for 30 minutes before taking a nap… until dinner time. I was tired from the stinking Devil Rays game the night before. We got home around 11:30 and two of my co-workers called in sick. I was tired and unmotivate...
Ding 46; Got a Better Bow
Ding in 3d 10h 34m /played time in Feralas while hunting hippogryphs. It was a long, protracted battle while fighting for the right to kill things with a Chinese Gold Farmer (named something like Djsajf) who managed to hit level 48 and still had a pe...
Ding 43; Almost Done with STV
I completed Nessingwary's hunter questline with the downing of King Bangalash, a level 43 Elite and his two level 33 (/cough /laugh) spawns. The reward bow was a complete joke compared to my current crossbow, so that was a bit of a letdown. I then he...
Moments from Level 40 Mount
I turned in my quests after I hit 39 and Joana's guide said that I should be about halfway to level 40. I was at about 40%, so, yeah, give or take, I was halfway. Then I almost cried when it said to grind to level 40. I could look for things to do ar...
Ding 35; Minutes from 36
I wrapped up level 34 early last night and had 11 quests to put me to level 36 this morning. My work fell short of the mark, so I have to grind for a while to hit 36 and train at Grom'gol to save time. I'm fighting the Headhunters and Witch Doctors...
Ding 34; Done with Desolace
I have finally left Desolace and moved on to greener pastures. Sort of. Knowing myself, if something can go wrong, it will go wrong. I'll get to my screw-up in chronological order, so we have some stuff to cover first. Oh, I can't wait… /played...
