200th post!

I guess that's a milestone of some sort. Read Dammy's post below as I'm posting over him. The big news today is: I'm 51! Dinged last night killing massive amounts of turtles. You see, I'm on a mission. A mission to get 56 Turtle Scales, 42 Worn Dragonscales, and 60 Scorpid Scales. Oh, and also 8 Hearts of Fire and 4 Core of Earth thingies. These mats will make all the mail armor in my leatherworking repertoire plus a Helm of Fire, which I think I want for me. So, what's the best place to get these? I know Tanaris for the Scorpid Scales and Hinterlands for the Turtles (before I knew I'd want them I put 60-80 Turtle Scales on auction 'cause they sell so well). I've gotten some worn dragonscale from the Swamp of Sorrows but they drop very, very infrequently and I usually get green dragonscale instead. Heart of Fire I'm think the Searing Gorge. Core of Earth no clue. So if any of you guys know a better place to grind let me know. That's what my 51st year will be spent doing. Grinding, grinding, and more grinding. Nice to have goals, a plan, right?

Wolvyre, my little fire mage, is 12. Cool stuff. She's my soloing character. And so far she's remained my soloing character. Every other toon I have has become a party member or had to wait for hubby to catch up (although now Beowulfa has been set loose again with the promise that she won't ding 60 without him, and she has happily agreed). I'm looking forward to twinking her out which, by the way, she will be able to do herself. I won't tell you her secret but she's sitting pretty on top of 15 gold with more on the way.

And in RL, tonight we're leaving for TX! So excited. And angsty. I always get angsty. We're hoping Orclette will sleep through the majority of driving time since I've heard horror stories of babies and long car trips, most notably my youngest brother. He just would not be appeased. Cried the entire time, the entire way. Fortunately I remember none of this. Anyway, Dammy's pretty good at driving through the night (yes, we've done this before several times) and I can give him a break, although I hate driving at night. The lights look all weird to me. And we'll hit Waco sometime Saturday morning, spend that day and most of Easter Sunday with Orclette's great-grandma and two of her uncles, and then head to Houston, which is where my family and ALL our friends live. Why don't we still live there? Good question. Can't give you a good answer, although the answer I can give you is money. Money is never a good reason to be living somewhere, unless you like where you're living. But money is something we must have, so we go where the money is. Bah. We'll still post the occasional blog as exciting stuff happens but no WOW will be played. We'll get back Sunday night the 30th of March.

Happy weekend to all!

Lucks with the farming! Another place to get the worn dragonscales is in the SE corner of the Burning Steppes - the drop rate of the dragonkin there is something like twice the Swamp of Sorrows ones. Core of Earth drope from rock elementals in Tanaris and Badlands, but the rate be awful. I'd try the AH instead. Fer Hearts of Fire I think the best place is the elementals in Un'goro Crater, but they's a few levels higher than you, so AH may be better. As always, wowhead.com be yer friend for these things.

Enjoy yer trip!

Guildless.

Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.

On being Horde.

Obviously we no longer play Horde side. Wulfa has a 70, 45, 32 and numerous other alliance alts now. I've got a 63, 46, 20, 16, 11, 8, 8 Alliance side(all my alliance alts are new since we moved over to Kael'thas, wulfa's playing two characters that already existed before our horde characters were started). But we are two and a half ORCS. Not two and a half random alliance characters. This makes it hard sometimes when I see links to my site or I see a horde shaman etc. It is kind of like going back to your home town and seeing people you used to know and they ask you how your ex-girlfriend is doing. They don't know you split up. You don't really want to talk about it. Etc. Sometimes I think fondly about getting on my Horde shaman and leveling a bit. Nothing ever comes of it. And even less will in the future as I get further and further away from wanting to play those toons. There are things I like on the Alliance side. I like the Dreanai. A lot. Even th...
