Tonight We Pox. Today we ramble.

Tonight is our pox night. We've all been gone or busy or scattered for the last two weeks and it feels like its been ages since we did anything poxy. I'm trying hard to refocus.

Lessee... what are all the names again? Oh I'm a tank...huh... okay.... I'm sure I've got bars somewhere down here... ah there we go... growl... thats like taunt... I hope.

Where were we? Level 18? Wow that seems so small now. Wailing caverns huh... hrm. Are we sure? SM is low level we're not doing it? Oh right 35....

Yeah. Long breaks are hard on people like me who like to be excited for a week or two and then change subjects.

Today work is really slow. Last night I got on and made 30k xp and dinged 53. I'm back to beign 4 levels behind someone. But honestly thats not entirely my fault... I can only play at night. And my nights have been taken a bunch recently.

Found out that I need 60! rune cloth for the quest not 20 like I had thought. Lessee: I need 21000 rep... but I'll have about 2400 by the time I get to the runecloth repeatable quests. so that leaves me 18600 rep and I'll be getting 75 per turn in. Which means i'll need 248 turn ins... times 3 times 20 =

I need 14880 pieces of runecloth. /sigh 744 stacks.

She's going to kill me. I need to find more regular darkspear quests. I'm 99% certain I've done their starting quests but I'll run back through the village to double check. I know I've done all of the raventusk quests... and that troll guy in ferales. And the troll guy in xroads. And I leveled up in desolace so I have most of those(will need to go back and check again). Where else....

Oh I've got the troll guy in org that sends you to Awesome Crater for white claw things.

Oooo I haven't done the trolls in Arathi Highlands. I'll need to hunt them down and ask thems what they want.

Think think think. Think think think. Stonetalon had a troll and I think I did all of his quests but I'll go back and check.

I really really want that raptor. If you can think of some trolls I'm missing let me know.

Oh and before I forget: A post that made me think a lot about what I wanted to do at 70 and what kind of guild I will want to join. In my mind an excellent post with excellent comments.

Lessee, Troll rep.

First off, is only the first turn-in what needs 60 runecloth. Afters, it be 75 rep per stack, so no despairs.

When ya gets to Zangarmarsh in Outland, you'll get rep from the troll village quests there.

And be sure to do the orphan quest in Org next month - 500 easy rep for every faction.

Here's a tool that might help you out - WoWHead can filter quests by reputation gains.

Good luck!

@joel So I still hate wowhead but this has raised their rep with me a LOT.

A ton.

@ratters Problem with boogermarsh is I want to ride my raptor into the outlands!
Rusty said…
Did you check out The Hinterlands? There's a bunch-o-trolls over there.

Thottbot quests can be sorted via rep as well. This is how I've gotten my rep up since I'm not the biggest wowhead fan...3+ years ago I used thottbot...I got used to it...everything else is just odd! (lol jk)

Also keep in mind some orc zones/areas give rep for org and darkspear trolls.

Hinterlands is FULL of trolls. Not sure about the new quests in the goblin zone in dustwallow marsh but check there too.

Hinterlands = Raventusk village.

It does look though like I've missed a series of tanaris quests and about 15 quests in stv and a stonetalon quest, and I CANNOT believe I didn't do the huge series of quests where you collect ancient coins for some holiday.

I don't have good advice. But others have given you that already. I'm chiming in to say I did the post title: sorta sounds like the title to a Outland country song.

I was gonna suggest Zangarmarsh before Ratshag beat me to it :) - heaps of Darkspear rep there - I got within 5k of Exalted from those quests...

The seasonal festival rep is really helpful too - thanks for the heads-up for Childrens Week Ratters, I'll make sure I get a piece of that rep!

I'm grinding Troll rep on my BE's and have discovered "spill over" rep from other starting zones. I guess a fraction of the rep that you get for the group that gives the quest is applied to the other groups in that faction.

So, I'm off to do all the quests in the starting areas!

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.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Programming.

Someone enlighten me. I keep running into this idea with certain people I talk to. "Why are you charging me for this custom program? It has already been written for another bank. All of the work is already done." I've tried explaining that programs are like books. Even though you only wrote it once you charge it multiple times. I've tried explaining that custom programs are like our software product. You have to pay for YOUR copy, even though we've already written and sold copies to other people. The last person I tried to explain this to told me that I "shouldn't argue with the customer". /sigh This isn't a complex idea.
