#leveling challenge

Aidrian finished up his journey in Dun Morogh by killing trogs and exploring the cave in Gol'bolar Quarry.

After this Aidrian decided to leave his home of Dun Morogh and venture to the human lands, specifically Elwynn forest via the tram that connects the two cities of Iron Forge and Stormwind.

When he arrived he went to to the SI:7 in old town to discuss plans with his fellow rogues. Upon his arrival he was informed that he needed to steal a shipping schedule from the a band of Defias just outside of the human town of Goldshire

So, he made his way to Jerod's Landing and found the dockmaster, a goblin, typical, goblins will do anything for a quick buck. Aidrian thinks to himself: "Fortunately, for him, I won't be slaying him today; I simply need what's in his pocket".

Swiftly, Aidrian grabs the shipping schedule and slips out unnoticed.

When he makes his way back to SI:7 Aidrian is rewarded with a new dagger. The blade of Cunning! it is much sharper and nimble than his previous blades. It'll be a welcomed addition to cut the throats of his enemies.

He equips it in his main hand

After achieving the respect of the rogue operatives in Stormwind city. Aidrian heads back to the dwarven district in Stormwind. He was told to make a delivery to Loch Modan.

So, he heads back onto the Tram and makes his way through the snowy fields of Dun Morogh to the much temperate climate of Loch Modan. After taking some brief respite in Thelsmar he makes his way south to the watch tower.

Upon the arrival to the tower he's told to go back to stormwind and make another delivery so the guard can get a new shield.

"I don't particularly like being an errand boy, but I did want to stay longer in the human lands to fight off the gnolls and defias bandits" Aidrian said aloud. So, he started to make his way back. On his route back, he was asked just on the other side of the tunnels in Dun Morgh to discover the fate of a dwarf that has gone missing. Using his expertise he discovers the grim fate of his fellow dwarf.

It was an infamous ice claw bear, Mangeclaw, that did him in. After reading his journal Aidrian vowed to avenge him. After tracking the bear down he does exactly that and is rewarded with yet another dagger, this one he puts in his off-hand.

Aidrian finishes making it back to the human lands he heard of an expert weapon's master that could teach him the basics of learning swords. Aidrian pays his fee of 10 silver and learns how to use swords. Aidrian thinks that this investment will certainly pay off later.

He leaves the safety of the grand city of Stormwind and heads on out to Elwynn Forest. Aidrian discovers a wanted poster for a gnoll named "Hogger" who has been terrorizing the area as of late and has overpowered all attempts to capture. "This is the perfect opportunity to try out my new blades" Aidrian thinks. Despite the reward being less than substantial, Aidrian wants to prove himself to the humans of this land that he is a worthy rogue to be hired and relied on.

So, he tracks down Hogger and slays him.

After reporting his demise and get his reward he grows stronger, he learns that he can move even stealthier and faster while being undetected.

HIGHLIGHT REEL:

hanging out with friends, making strawberry cookies and decorating them with cream cheese icing. Delicious <3!

Going to dance class in my loose, loose, loose, billow pants that feel like a dream. Parachute pants and short crop top means all the confidence. Got my exercise in -- but made it fun.

Typed words onto a document. Practiced my poetry -- got into the rhythm of enjambments and stanzas. Strangely, it wasn't that difficult, and wasn't even that different from prose writing. 10/10 recommend. LOL

Things to improve:

Didn't get much work done, was too busy watching Youtube videos.

Didn't do my morning routine.

Eat breakfast bitch!

For those of you new here, I set the goal that I was going to change my life. You can read more about it here.

That's it for today! See you all tomorrow..

Hello to everyone.

Welcome to my blog, featuring my character: Korrander Vales, of the WRA server.

For those of you curious what this is, this is a unique leveling challenge I came up with inspired by the Ironman challenge, but tweeked a bit for my own fun. The basics is that I will be leveling from level 1 to level cap, which may change before I get there, with a set of restrictions on myself.

As such, save for where tagged, this will be an entirely In Character blog that will follow his adventures, and tell a story of this man who is leaving his old work behind to become a warrior for Stormwind and the Alliance.

I will post up character backstory (as seen on his Total Roleplay profile) and some other things soon.

"We got fun and games" is not what Stranglethorn Vale had for me, that's for sure.

I arrived promptly by port in Booty Bay, #1 pirate town in all of Azeroth. I was greeted with a bunch of weird looks, but no one said a word. It didn't matter to me, I went about my business, and jogged about looking for some pets to battle.

The pickings were slim, and this is when I realized that not all realms are created equal when it comes to pet battles being available. The realm I was on with my high level character to scope the place out had shown me at least 4-5 battles on the map when I flew over. However, on Ghiddee's realm there was maybe 2, and one of them was down a hallway that prevented pet battling. Bah!

I wasted some time here, getting some pet levels and a level for myself, until I finally decided I was going to make the trip to Grom'gol in hopes of more pet battles.

Oh.. unforgiving jungle. This wasn't the first I'd ran a lowbie through dangerous places. I used to run lowbies to Tanaris for the Neutral AH back in the day before Booty Bay had a Neutral AH. I knew I'd die a bunch, but it's still annoying dying 3 seconds after you respawn again and again.

After some time, I'm not sure, maybe 10 minutes, I made it to the shore of Grom'gol and was greeted by a crab ready for defeat!

I was right in my guess that there would be more pets to battle here and so I kept running around the little hub, fighting parrots, lizards, spiders and crabs.

Eventually the pet battles stopped spawning quickly, and I had the bright idea to ask a friend to invite me to their group whose home was on another realm. They agreed, of course, and I learned for the first time it's smart to make sure that said friend is not on a PvP server. After phasing I was greeted with an arrow in my back from some level 90 Night Elf who had nothing better to do than continue to attack Grom'gol. With a swift sigh, I dropped group and went back to my home realm where I would be safe and sound.

At least that's what I thought. I forgot that it would keep me PvP flagged for 5 minutes of non-PvP activity, and while I was running around there was an Alliance Panda who noticed me pet battling, seemed a bit confused by it, and decided they needed to put me out of my misery. Thankfully they went about their way afterward, and I was able to get back on track of leveling.

Barrens. Unforgiving and brutal. Maybe the chatter has died down on some realms, or matured slightly, but it's still the same constant conflict and danger as always. New players always remember their first time in the Barrens, be it the trolls in general chat or the hostile mobs biting your ankles as you desperately try to make your way to the Crossroads.

This time was no different for me, even though I am not new to the game. Being level a few bars in to level 2 and daring the Barrens is risky, and a bit stupid if you really think about it. However, I was determined to level my pets and myself, and getting 10 EXP a kill wasn't cutting it for me.

I had no real plans going into this, did I mention that already? I'm learning.. I'm like a baby in WoW, making her first steps all over again. I at least know about aggro and when the +Combat comes up in my hover text that I need to 180 it and run the other way. Barrens starts off nice enough when coming from Durotar. There's lots of open land and non-hostiles to greet you. It doesn't seem so bad, and hey, there's even a few prairie dogs and adders on the side of the road to fight - sweet!

I soon find out that pets in this area are few and far between. They aren't clumped enough to make leveling here worth-while, and so I continue my way West. 

I don't get very far over the hill before I'm suddenly being alerted that I'm in Combat and I don't even see the mob in question. Thankfully I have my trusty AggroBait raptor to take a hit or two for me, and I manage to break away from whatever unseen bringer of death that was chasing after me. I'm still not seeing any pets to battle, so I venture south along the road toward the Crossroads.

Savannah-like trees speckle the old road, and napping under them are cheetah. I heard a snarl, my raptor screech, and the sound of my lvl 2 pixel-flesh being ripped to shreds, the entrance to the Crossroads just a 100 feet away or so. I was taken down swiftly, two hits at best, and was swiftly greeted by the Spirit Healer at the graveyard. It was at this point I started questioning my idea of battling in the barrens, but I was too stubborn to give up quite yet.

I rezzed and made it to safe-haven, and was happy to see the guards. I would use them to help level, what a great idea! Just outside the gates was a tree, with two Cheetah Cub and two momma Cheetah. I ran out there, waving my juicy lvl 2 limbs around and kiting them back to town for their slaughter! I felt pretty smart. It was pretty easy to waltz right up and pwn the Cheetah Cubs after this.. but I was only getting about 25 EXP a battle.

I ran around the hub and didn't find any more easy pickings. I groaned, realizing I had already wasted almost 30 minutes and only getting about 4 battles done. This was definitely not effective! I convinced myself to leave the Crossroads and venture south, hoping I'd run into more pet battles along the road.

I ran and ran. Nothing was showing up on my map. I spotted a blood elf and troll killing things off to the side and so I strayed from the path, figuring I'd follow them and try to pick any pet battles along the way.

I likely followed the pair for 5-10 minutes before giving up. Not a single pet battle along the way or nearby. Barrens sucks, I thought. I'd been there almost an hour now, and nothing to show for it. At least this trip brought me to a pet trainer I hadn't battled.. and I whooped her quite easily. Take that, Orc.

In frustration I made my way back to the Crossroads and then east to Durotar again, and finally in the safe-haven of Orgrimmar (I have to run as I have 0 money currently from doing only pet battles). My pets were still all level 5, and so I ran around killing level 1 pets until all three were level 6, while pondering what to do next. While doing so, I ran into a robot named Blingtron, and took his daily reward (no exp rewarded). I was lucky and he gave me Bling Bons which vendor for 75g.. now I can finally use FPs and get a mount at lvl 20!

I took advantage of having higher level characters, and logged on one to scout out some areas on my map that might be safe to level. My pets were only level 6, but I needed to move somewhere that I could farm for a couple hours that had no hostile mobs around. I found two really sweet spots: Grom'gol and Booty Bay.

Pets around Grom'gol are 7-10, with the majority at level 8. Pets in Booty Bay are 9-10 pretty much. I asked in general for someone to taxi me to Ratchet, and I jumped a boat ride to Booty Bay for a new adventure!
