Weekend SummaryFollow

done. 5 mins after thinking "hey, i've killed around 4 bazillion twilight cultists and never got a good drop." i got a skullflame shield. sold it for 180g.

um, yep, me off on a tangent.

nope.

played some medieval 2. spent sunday with some visitors from australia. worked out, decorated my flat a bit. watched borat (/cringe) and some prison break. niiice!

Goal: 10,000 honor

Result: 7,800 honor

Not a total loss.

Also ran ZG and got a nice ring and a voodoo doll. LOL - who still does ZG? Me, I guess.

I didn't get to reach level 39 nor did I get any pvp gear this weekend.

Didn't reach any of my goals, but I did have a blast playing defense in WSG.


humanoid tracker, frost traps, intimidate... I love hunters.

So far, and excellent weekend. Finished off my attunement for Lady O, and got everything worked out so I can hit MC. Now that the place is empty of family, I can continue my grind.

ZG rep happened, but not in the quantity I had hoped. Too much Xmas shopping was done instead. Same with the PvP, it just didn't happen.

Pet snake did make it to level 54, not a total loss.



Druid did something different. Dumped enchanting... for mining. Figured it'd help with jewelcrafting. Up to level 120 so far. My mage is now my enchanter.

Druid got the epic mount, so I have 2 60's that travel in style.



I'm level 55 and am learning to enchant.

Well let's see. I spent a lot of time at work this weekend, and I'm actually almost caught up! Almost, but not quite. And of course, everyone wants everything before Christmas, but that's life.

As far as WoW goes, I got up to the needed honor on my warrior for either a new helm or new leggings. I need both, but I can't decide which to take first! AHHH!!!!

On my Pally, I wound up getting up to 9k total honor, so I farmed like 2500 over the weekend. I also did a portion of a BRD run, going to Marshal Windsor, Bael'Gar and Incendious. Wound up gaining like, 30% of level 58 in xp, bringing me up to about... 36% done. I really hate grinding out xp.

I did actually start my shopping this weekend. I got half of my wife's present, and got my mom's present. Just need to get the other half of my wife's gift (which I had a coupon for, but they wouldn't let me use it at the same time as I used the coupon for the first half. That's fine though, I can come back if it means I can get $5 off) and my dad's and my bro's.







I would have to say that by far, the most awesome thing I did was my anti-afk campaign in AV. I believe that the reason the knockback snowballs stack to 5 is because it takes exactly 5 snowballs (and a little over 2 minutes, so you KNOW they're afk) to take someone from the spawn in point all the way out the exit. Yes I did also have fun knocking horde off the bridge, but overall, I got the best feeling of victory from knocking those damn afk honor leeches out.

I did some of the Christmas quests on a few of my characters. Unfortunately, some of my characters, such as my rogue, can’t pick up the yeit quest. I put in a ticket and I got an e-mail saying they know of the problem and its being worked on.

While on my rogue I bought one of the new, reusable, throwing knives from the AH for six gold. One throw and it vanished. I made another ticket. I got an e-mail saying they know of the problem and its being worked on. *sigh* I decided my rogue was bad luck and switched to my warlock.

I’d not played my warlock since the patch. So I did some research and decided to change from Affliction, which I used all the way to 60, and spent my points in Demonology. It’ll take a bit of getting used to, but I really like my new pet. In truth my warlock now plays a lot like my hunters. *smiles*

Now I just need to figure out what I’m going to do with my 60 priest. If I solo I need to go shadow again. But if I try to play healer I guess I should go holy. Decisions… Decisions…

Managed to get a level on my shaman, and a run of sunken temple. He is now 51 :)

Did not do much on my warlock, grinded perhaps 20k. He is still at 49.

Spent a lot of time grinding AB. Got about 2k this weekend, so he is at 10.5k or so. Still 11.5k to go :(

The best thing about this honor grind, is that its quite often fun! I am also getting better at this pvp thing, and I am still optimizing my UI. Downing 3 allies in 10 secounds does not happen often, but MAN its fun! I consider myself lucky, being horde, queues are basically instant.

RL: Helped my mother getting the last presents for christmas (and tree). Got the car's tail-lights fixed. Not bad, to be honest :)

WoW:
With the exception of cooking, I was not able to get either my skills or my professions to 150. I did manage to level them up and purchase more recipes and patterns, so I have something to work with. I was also able to purchase all of my spells for level 20, and some for level 22, but I still need to make some more silver.

RL:
My wife did not have our baby yet. =( I tried to setup the changing table on Sunday, only to discover that it was poorly made and that the wood snapped too easily. So, we have to return it and hope to find one that is actually decent. (And that I feel safe putting my daughter on..)

Yep. Managed to pull this one off. :D


Well, I made Friday night's run. Start to Sulferon (with a pitstop by Golemagg on the way by) inside of 4.5 hours. For our group, that's the farthest we've made it on the first night. We usually stopped after Shazzrah. I managed to get my hands on Choker of Enlightenment and Vambraces of Prophecy. Nice that I was the only priest in the raid that didn't have them, yet.



Let's see ... warlock - nada. I think I logged into him long enough to check his mail.

The mage? She hit 50 last night, trained, and is about 25% of the way from Friendly to Honored with the Timbermaw.

I did get my hunter from 32 - 34, picked up cats that let him learn Prowl 1 and Dash 1 and then trained them both to his Nightsaber (named Boots - original, I know).

My Paladin went from 40 to 42 while mining enough Iron and Mithril to complete her Weaponsmith quest. She's now an official Weaponsmith! I started drooling (and so did the guild's Axesmith) over some of the new Weaponsmith/*smith weapons available in the xpac. They're BoP epic craftings that require 350/375 Blacksmithing AND Master Axe/Sword/Hammersmith to use. Sweet stuff though. 2 of the hammers (one's an upgraded version of the other) had a nice slow 3.90 weaponspeed. Can we say made with a Retribution Pally in mind? :)
And in general - just have some fun.

Didnt play much except for some Live Strat that I got to tank on my pally, which was surprisingly enjoyable. With this came tying to tank in AV when everyone was dinkin around at Drek. Unfortunately the healers only healed the 2H warriors and i obviously got facepwnt whenever i tried.

I spent most of the weekend lying around being a major bum. Made coming to work something to actually look forward to at least. 4 day week then I get 11 days off.

Well as a mixture of WoW and RL this week it makes this weekend pretty short and sweet.

I got sick on Thursday which allowed me to stay home from work for a couple days (*cough*). I played WoW a lot from Thursday through Saturday working up professions (my DE alt, and I dropped 300 tailoring on my mage to pick up Mining to make some extra money).

I finally got enough money to buy my 150 riding skill (already had my 8g frostwolf mount).

PvPed enough with a few battlegroups of mine to get my HWL shoulders and am 5k honor into getting either the pants, boots, or chest. Still haven't decided when I am going to start saving for the HWL spellblade, but I better start.

WoW - I PvPed a bit, but I find that I'm getting bored of it :( picked up about 5k this weekend. Most likely going for my bow next and then on to the other 3 set pieces.

We did form a guild group and rolled a few pug groups in AB. (Most of my guild is T0 or below with some exceptions, far from the AQ/T3 rolling groups though).

Raid didn't happen. With 2 wars and 1 priest signed on at raid time, we felt it was in our best interest to not die over and over again.

RL Stuff - I got to order pizza from my pizza girl for the first time in nearly a month (/rude her managers), we talked for a bit and all is good :).


This week I'm working 2 days. So, looks like I'm going to be PvPing a ton...and hopefully I'll stick to that :).
