Un'goro

Yick! That's my first comment on entering Un'goro. Yeah, its a pretty place, but all the oozes and tar beasts running around kinda ruin the scenery... if you know what I mean.

I pointed Yazmin towards Marshal's Refuge immediately, and picked up all the quests I could. Checked my ammo, food, water, and non-combat chicken then set off questing. One thing I'd forgotten though... this is Un'goro Crater. Giant Impact Term less MONSTERS roam the crater.

Yazmin got smushed no less than six times by three different Tyrant Devilsaur... fear for the loss! The first time I laughed it off, it was a wake-up call, I'd barely woken up when I started questing in real life, didn't even have coffee- so I was playing a bit bleary-eyed anyway.

By the third time I was running back to my corpse, I was wondering if I was just having a really, really bad time... I didn't remember dying this many times with Tzia or Dione. Then again, Di is a bit harder to eat - plate does that to teeth.

Anyways, I rezzed, and promptly got eaten by the third Devilsaur of the day. Didn't have time to rez the pet, drink, nada. It was rez and RAWR!!! Dead hunter. My guild leader was laughing his rear off... because usually Feign Death saves my butt, while his little rogue-self is usually squashed flat.

I managed to ooze my squashed self back, watch the Devilsaur pat away, then rez, pop up the pet, and run away!! In between the time of being smushed by ravenous Tyrant Devilsaur's, I managed to get a few quests done and then turned them all in. Yaz is almost to 51, the boar is 50, but I'm tired of being flattened for a while, so I'm going to go play Sims 2... once I have all the expansions re-installed.

More of Yazmin's adventures in Un'goro tomorrow!

Hunter, money, and some hunter blog

Well, Yazmin dinged 50! And I ran her off into Searing Gorge to pick up a chest piece, since I was still wearing something from the mid 30s and it was leather... eww. Mail, with agility, stamina, and intelect. Should last me for a bit of time, I hope. Only a few more levels to outlands.

I have also been back-reading several diffrent hunter related blogs. I ran into an old post off Bremm's Musings declaring that outlands should not be attempted before 60... just due to the fact that a person will have a harder time with it.

I find, from previous experience with my Troll hunter Tzia and her pet kitty, Ruka, that 58 was just fine. But then, I am also a bit picky when it comes to gear and was able to conserve gold and had enough on dinging 70 to buy my flyer... so money is not an issue for me, and that I remember was one of the major problems with this person's post.

I figure Yazmin will have an easier time in outlands than her horde predecessor. The reasons for that being:

1. She has a tanking pet, not a dps pet.
2. I already know what I will face, prior knowledge will keep her alive.
3. Fel Reavers have an impact term - hallelujah!
4. I will be grinding for money, not questing as much... want epic land mount asap.

Yazmin is 50, as I stated earlier... she is still in a few pieces of leather - Triprunner Dungurees, some agi/stam leather shoulders, and I think that's it now that the chest piece is out of the way... but her gear is holding up, as is Xavi the boar, who got his updates of bite, gore, and charge - still needs to hit 50 before I can give the lil armored piggy a better growl.

I'm still a bit upset with the AH. Echo Isles Alliance prices are insane in my oppinion, but I do remember the fact of supply and demand... there are tons of hunters out there and a very very tiny portion of gear that is good for hunters, therefore demand is high, supply sucks, so pricing is in the stupidly rediculous range.

It just means I will be hoping for good gear to drop over buying it, unless I can find really good items for cheap... and when I do, believe me, those pieces won't remain on the Auction block longer than it takes me to click 'buyout'!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! And many happy returns for everything you do this upcoming year.

Well, I just showed my husband how to use chopsticks, and we found out that chicken-flavored ramen with cashews is a very tasty combo... might have to do that next time I want a late night snack.

Just realized its 3 in the morning here, the 1st of January... and I go back to school in six days from this one. Ugh. But then again, maybe its a good thing to be headed back to school. I'll be able to break my WoW time up with studying History and Sociology - I hope.

Also, realized I need to refill my FSFA form for the up-coming school year! I think some of the deadlines are the day after Valentine's!
