Helloooooo Leatherworking!

I think i finally properly solved my laptop problems, so hopefully i won't miss posting days from now on (yeah, right!). Aside fromy my daily maintenance and "chores", I also leveled Salthra a bit. He is level 65 which means he can max out his leatherworking. I don't know how profitable it will be this late in the expansion, but i definitely expect it to pay off come Cataclysm. If I'm not misatken, all that's left now are tailoring and engineering. My mage has tailoring covered and who knows, i might replace skinning on Salthra for engineering. I might also just level a dwarven hunter, who knows...

In any case, Salthra is 65 now and will hopefully be even going to Northrend soon. It would be nice to get another max level character so i might actually go for that. If not, my mage will be next.

Getting, closer to Outland...

Today, I again did my dailies and auctions, skipped the heroics this time and went straight to Salthra. Sadly, i had some distractions during the day, so I didn't level as much as I wanted. I am currently level 56, but i will try to at least get to 57 before i go to bed. In any case, I will be in Outland tomorrow, hopefully.

EDIT: Well, surprisingly, i managed to actually get to 58. I cleared most of the quests in Winterspring, which got me to a bit over 56. Since i had a messenger quest to Chillwind Camp, i decided to go there next, since it's a good leveling area. When i got there, i did some of the introduction quests, two of the cauldron quests, the Lightbringer series and the quests Chromie gives me in Andorhal. After getting to 57 and turning in some quests, i rode to the Eastern Plaguelands where i logged off and switched to my banker. I bought a bunch of turn in items like Savage Frond, Core of Elements, Dark Iron Scraps, etc. and this gave me enough experience to get to 58. I immediately went to Outland and right now, Salthra is sleeping in the Honor Hold inn.

Sadly, I don't think I will be playing allot tomorrow, because my laptop is overheating and i urgently need to get it cleaned properly.

Hi, my name is Larthas, and I'm an altoholic...

After posting my auctions and doing the jewelcrafting daily, as well as the heroic dailies on both Lasthar and Auiraya, i continued to level Salthra some more. He is 52 now, soon to be 53. Hopefully, i will get to Outland tomorrow. I have most of Un'Goro Crater to complete, so it shouldn't be a problem. If i manage to miss some quests, I can easily continue on to Felwood and Winterspring.

Leveling, achievements and progression.

Since it has been a while since I've posted anything (you can find the reasons on my other blog), some stuff did happen this time. I pretty much geared my alts as much as i can from heroics, and i leveled my rogue to 48. My guild also managed to kill the Lich King on 25man, so, while I'm still not a Kingslayer, i am 2/12 on 25man HC. For now, I've killed Marrowgar and the Gunship which are probably the easies fights there.

As for gold, I'm nearing 120k and my rogue will soon contribute with leatherworking, hopefully. After that, it will probably be my mage with tailoring.

Altoholism, gearing and other stuff...

Past few days have, again, been somewhat uneventful. I did some heroics on my alts, level Salthra to 39, did the routine AH stuff and that's about it. Today, i tried a few runs of ToC5 with a guildie. Me for the healing trinket and him for the melee dps trinket. We were both unlucky, sadly, so we might try again tomorrow.

Since i really don't play that much, i will probably spare the 2 readers i have from boring status updates. If something fun and interesting happens, you will be the first to know. If not, there is no point in writing how i didn't do anything.

Very little...

Again, I've mostly done auctions and dailies over the last few days. I guess the summer is getting to me like it does with most players. Today, however, I did a few ToC5 runs with Auriaya and got the tanking trinket so she is pretty well geared now. I don't think getting accepted to weeklies will be a problem in the future.

Also, i got about 2500 reputation with the Cartel for my Insane in the Membrane feat on Larthas. There's still a long way to go, but I guess I could call this progress.

Slow and uneventful...

I really played very little for the past few days. I did the daily JC quest, logged in to do some auctioneering, but that's pretty much it. I tried to get the trinket from ToC5 Normal for Lasthar today, but even after 10 or so runs, no luck with it.

Lich King getting near!

Last night we organized two 10man groups first, both doing ICC10 HC. Around 21:30, we finally had enough people to continue on the Lich King in 25man. I am proud to say, we are getting really close to kill him. We managed to get to phase 3, but for some reason we are having trouble killing the Raging Spirits in phase 2.5, so 3 of them are on the off tank in the transition, killing him really fast. Still, there was obvious progression going on, so hopefully he will fall tonight. I just hope there isn't any thunderstorms tonight.

In other news, I've spent some times on my alts, leveling my Salthra up to 38 and gathering emblems on Hastral, Lashtar and Auriaya. Epic gems are still the main source of my income and i managed to get two farmers to sell me theirs directly. Larthas' enchanting is a close second, while Hastral's transmute just got upped to third place. I started selling uncut meta gems and titanium and titansteel bars, so i make about 200-300 a day from that.

Routine...

Not much done today. I did some dailies, did some auctioneering and even leveled my rogue a bit. All in all, just a routine day. Also, my brother in law was here so I looked over his characters a bit. He doesn't have Wrath of the Lich King yet, but he will probably get it soon, because his hunter reached level 70 today. There is another thunderstorm tonight, so no raiding, sadly.

Ruby Sanctum

We ended up wiping for four hours on Ruby Sanctum 10HC yesterday. Still, we did make progress and i really think Halion could be down tonight. The only problem is, a freaking thunderstorm! With my luck the guild will do this without me. Don't get me wrong, I like it when my guild downs bosses for the first time. Still, I would like to be there for just one time...

In other news, Larthas did some Dire Maul runs to get his goblin reputation back up. I am now 10/36k hated. Also, I managed to restock on gems on Auriaya so I will be back to selling now. The rest of my characters I didn't even manage to visit. Sadly, this means I missed a day of transmutes and dailies.

Skip a day...

Sorry for not posting yesterday, but I went to bed early so it slipped my mind. The good news is, stuff actually happened, so i have something to write about. Larthas went on a raid with the guild and we managed to reach the Lich King on the first night. I wanted to come tonight as well, but i had to take care of my nieces so that didn't happen. Hopefully, the Lich King will go down on 25 soon. I also got a new Tier10 token so now I'm just missing one piece, not counting the gloves which I probably won't get. Also, I managed to blow 16k today buy buying the Traveler's Thundra Mammoth. I really want to start on my Insane in the Membrane feat, so this mount will be very useful.

As for my other characters, i did the weekly on all of them and that's about it. Auriaya is still doing her JC dailies and selling gems, while Lasthar and Hastral pretty much do the daily transmute and that's it.

Only a little bit.

Again I haven't played much. I managed to do two randoms on Salthra and gained a level, and I also did a few heroics on Lasthar so I can buy a proper totem. This got him the Superior achievement so he is slowly on his way to greatness, I guess. As for everything else, I again bought a bunch of cheap enchanting mats so I'm really stocking up on scrolls nicely. It should start paying off soon.

Some progress!

I managed to clear Ruby Sanctum 10 on Larthas. It took a few wipes due to a few silly mistakes; one of them on my part, but in the end, we managed to kill Halion. Nothing dropped for me, but I got a bunch of Frost Emblems and an achievement so it was definitely worth it.

Also, my money supply dropped suddenly. Someone flooded the market with cheap enchanting mats so I had to buy it all out. The plus is, I probably wont be needing fresh ones for a week or so. I managed to make 3-4 of each scroll with the mats I bought. I also decided to try my luck on some of the old world twin enchants. The profit mating is huge, but I'm not sure how well they sell.

None of it...

Sorry guys, no game play today. Just the JC dailies and some auctioneering. I almost got to100k today, but went right back down because i needed to restock on raw gems. Larthas is having some difficulties getting his enchanting mats so i might have to raise my threshold prices. I will probably play some tomorrow. There is a raid tomorrow night, but I'm not sure if enough people will show up. Summer is really killing our progression.

Hm....

I really have no idea what to write about. Today was just routine. I did a few dailies, checked my auctions, reposted stuff that was missing and expanded my blacksmithing business on Larthas a bit. I'm trying to sell the low 70s saronite gear as well as the three lvl200 epic helms. For now, it looks pretty promising.

In other news, the community is buzzing with rage about the new RealID changes. Personally, I'm fine with it, but i can understand why other people wouldn't be. As for the announced talent changes, i think it has major potential and hopefully Blizzard will do their magic on it and make it great.

Long time, no siege!

Well, I guess I'm really, really bad at keeping promises. It has been about two months since i last posted. If you follow my general gaming blog, you will know why. The good news is, for the next two months, I will have all the time in the world to play and write as much as i want. The bad news is.... wait, there is no bad news! So lets do a quick recap of what happened during the last two months so i can go back to playing.

Larthas did almost nothing. I did not have any time for raiding, so that is out of the picture. I did, however, manage to join a nice arena team, but even there, i missed 2 out of 4 weeks of game time. Hopefully all of this will change now.

As for Auriaya, she keeps doing her JC dailies and increasing the variety of her merchandise. Things are going really well, as I'm actually having trouble keeping up with the demand for cut gems. I can easily sell 30-40 gems on a regular day.

Sahtral and Salthra both didn't do much, but they did get a few levels due to rested xp. Every time they reach 100% rested, i do a few dungeons with each of them to use that up.

Hastral did absolutely nothing. He just does his daily transmute and that's about it.

The biggest news, however is Lasthar. He got from 40 to 80 and is having loads of fun. I made him a healer so I'm now healing heroics to get a bunch of emblems. I also maxed Alchemy and Iscription as his professions and made him an Elixir Master. Once i get a feel of the market, i will try to make some money in those areas. For now, things are looking really good for him. I will gear him up to about T9, and then make him a professional scribe. I hear glyphs are a great source of money.

This is becoming a habit...

Yes, yes, I know, I know, again with the "no posting" thing. All i can say is, when you have exams, and your gaming time is limited, you really don't wanna spend it posting about how much you don't game.

So, what did Larthas do?
Well, he managed to kill Professor Putricide and the Blood Queen in ICC25. Finally the guild got a full group, and these bastards fell like Patchwerk. We then proceeded to one shot the Dreamwalker encounter and then wiped a few times on Sindragossa. This happened over a week ago, and after that, i did not raid at all. Also, yesterday i managed to get my Bloodsail Admiral title with a guild mate. I also continued to push my reputation with the Buccaneers to honored so i would be ready for when i try for the Insane in the Membrane achievement this summer (or maybe sooner, who knows).

As for Hastral, he barely did a heroic or two.

In other news, Auriaya is 80 now and she is a pretty good tank already. I got two pieces of T9 and some other minor upgrades, so i sport about 29k health unbuffed. I also manage to do a JC daily each day so i got a bunch of recipes now.

I also leveled some of my other alts and managed to get Lashtar to 40. He can sell some glyphs now, but it will require me getting to at least level 65 in order to really be effective.He does have an epic ground mount now, so that means leveling will be faster.

Well, that's about it. I have 3 more exams this week, and then a bunch of lab work, but things should start to clear up, at least partially, by the end of the week.

Routine...

Again, some jewelcrafting dailies done, a level or two gained on my alts, a thousand or two gold earned and i started a guild ICC10 run with Larthas. Also, i managed to do the weeklies on both Larthas and Hastral. I also try to do the normal Northrend daily on Auriaya, so i can maybe buy a T9 piece for her as soon as she gets to 80 (which will not be to soon).

Uneventful...more of it!

Again, not much happened during the last few days besides me doing the dailies. I also managed to earn a few thousands after buying a heap of cheaply priced gems and cutting them. I'm still trying to decide if i should spend my frosties on Larthas for PVP or Tank gear. Also, i got a level or two on some of my alts.

Uneventfull...

Today i did my jewelcrafting daily on Auriaya, and we almost killed Putricide on 10man with Larthas. Oh, also, i got a level with Lashtar so i wouldn't waste my rested bonus. That's about it, sadly. There was no time for anything more.
