Heritage of the Sin'dorei

Champion of Azeroth!

Was... a let down :-(

Two disappointments at once.  I tried to find the quest to upgrade my necklace again... everyone says there isn’t one.  Ah... what?  Why bother then?  Oh, there is a piece of gear purchasable... but still?  Really no upgrade on the necklace.  Please be more consistent Blizzard, every other rep level change you gave us a quest. 

So I’m not a PvPer... but I’m trying it out this expansion, trying to unlock the rewards.  I’ve been working a few weeks to get my first reward, and when it showed just a single weapon, I hear “don’t worry, you can pick your reward”.  I thought, awesome, I’m going to get all those transmogs just like every other quest now that rewards multiple items, you pick one and get the ‘mog for all of them.  But... nope.  You only get the one weapon.  Doh. 

Also, I was 8 conquest away from the 500, and they said it carries over.  It doesn’t.  I got 40 conquest, turned in the quest, and back to 0/500 for the next reward instead of 32/500.  Ugh.

Introducing Piketeia and Deoiridh

My Dark Irons have entered the world.  Piketeia, a paladin, and Deoiridh (Dor-ee), a shaman. 

I’m kinda keen on leveling them... but gonna let them get some rested xp first.  I’m going to continue to target zones where I need quest rewards for my transmog collections.  I’m starting out on Darkshore.  Trying to get there from Stormwind proved a bit difficult ... and I took the boat to Boralus instead.  Whoops. Found the portal that replaced the boat now.

I managed to only spend a few hours obsessing over their names.  I used this ‘magical scottish baby names’ article for some inspiration.  “Dory” is ‘pilgrim’, and she’s leaving the mountain to explore the world so I thought that worked well.  Piketeia is a play on my main’s name, and the ‘p’ because she is also a paladin.  Who needs so many paladins on an account anyway.  Oh well, she’s on my 2nd account which doesn’t have an alliance paladin on it at least.  Other names considered: Lucy, Loosai, Atone, Isla, Islay, Eilidh, Uisdean, Clortho, Kragle.

I haven’t played ret in a long while.  Seems a bunch different.  I sorta wanted to simplify the dual-boxing and having them both be the same class... but I couldn’t justify the lack of mog I’d get for doing the quests twice.  All The Things.

I think I’ll level my Hordes in BfA for now, since I got the pathfinder they’ll go a bit faster.  But maybe I’ll jump on these two anyway.  It was 1h20m to get the addons configured, and them transmogged and kitted out with bags and things.  I have this idea that I track how long it takes me to level everyone, and I make the screenshots but don’t record it anyway else typically. 

I forgot how cool weapon enchants look on tiny fist weapons /awe

Allied Race: Dark Iron Dwarves

Warsong Glutch Brawl

So I’m branching out a tad.  I’m thinking, this is “Battle for Azeroth” maybe it is time I do some PvP.  Check that top... for my Warsong Glutch experience on my ‘main’.  1 win in 8 years.  Got to finally capture a flag myself last night.  And all I was trying to do was the weekly quest to win one brawl.  One.  Check some of these attempts.  My team died a total of 5 times during the whole brawl.... but, Horde still won.  What game were we playing?!  And then again Alliance totally dominated the battlefield, I was on top of kills and honor gains... but that wasn’t enough (at least that one we lost 9/10).  Took me 5 tries to get a win.  That re-enforces the old narrative that you just don’t want to do battlegrounds as alliance.  But since we don’t have warfronts... ah well.  It wasn’t so bad.  And I stayed in tank spec too.  At one point I had 7 of their team on me.  For a good 2 minutes and they couldn’t get me down.  2 minutes, 7 of their team distracted... and what was my team doing?  Who knows.

I tried a mythic +... it went pretty badly

Yeah. so.  27 deaths on a +2.  Eeek.  Near the beginning, the druid pulled extra mobs.  The mage got throw into another patrol.  We had *so* many mobs on us, we survived and did fine.  I thought, wow, this isn’t going to be so bad. Then it got bad.  And worse.  Ah well.  I’m putting it out of my mind.  Will practice a bit more.  And I’ll make sure I’ve done that particular dungeon on mythic before I try it “+” ;-)  And will try a little leadership instead of going along with things.

Pathfinder, Part One Complete

My feelings lately with BfA is how quick it is all going.  I got Azerothian Diplomat last night, my final requirement for Pathfinder Part One.  Now what?

Surf Jelly Mount from Island Expeditions

My first mount from Island Expeditions dropped just now /roar

I’m afraid to do Mythics... how about you?

It is dumb, I know.  I’m more than geared, I learn quick, I’m patient with others.

But you know... there are those players out there who are none of those things who go along too...

The life of a PUG :-(
