Bluefur 70!

OMG!
I got Bluefur to 70!
Like, AWESOME!
*cough* sorry....

Okay, so I was spazz-questing, doing every easy-ish quest out in Netherstorm with Absumo, watching my xp bar slooowly creap up and up. I also did one of my favorite quest chains, the one that starts with taking back crates from the blood elves and giving them to the Nexus-prince? And then you find triangulation points, then kill a push-over 70 elite and get a god-power giving crystel? (that you cant use to get super powers, stinkO) Anyway, at the end of the chain the Nexus prince tells you to give the Uber-powerful rock to some floating jigsaw-puzzle in Shattrath, which is basicaly a god already... And there are no hunter rewards. But still, hey, its fun. And, after that chain, you get quest from A'dal to go to Temp/bot or something like that, and you get more lame gear and a Mech Key. Fun!

Sorry, I got off-topic.

When I hit 70, I headed out to Terrokar, and started running. Why? Because I have never laid a foot in Shadowmoon on this char. >.<
Absumo came and was an audience for me. <3
Heres me on Night the Blue Windrider.

Oh god I'm lazy...

Whats wrong with me?!?!

I can't seem to lift my lazy butt off the chair and blog!

GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

(Oops, sorry, lets try that again...)

*Breathes out slowly*

I have been playing Rassaa a bit, she is level 45 (Oooo, so much higher than my last post when I was 40! What was that, a month aggo?) and she have been mostly using Sarge as her pet. She rather gave up on getting a horse for now, Branzeback is a nice ram...

Last night, I think I got to tired and went a little insane. I decided to get Rassaa a level 7 Springpaw Lynx. *Cookoo noises* Unduanted, and a but crazy, she rode a Gryphon and went to Southshore. She stabled her beloved Sarge and grabbed a random crab for a guardien, and then mounted her trusty ram. Then she rode off through Hillsbrad and Silverpine, not bothered at all.

Once she reached Tristfall, my plan was made -- run into the Ruins of Loreron and use the Teleporter to tele into the middle of Silvermoon, then die and spirit rez at the graveyard. Easy!

Well, not really. I ran into UC, got flagged of coarse, and hurridly ran up to the teleporter. Uh oh...

Crap... Okay, turns out that Allience can't use the teleporter. Now what? (I noticed a little later that even if I had, I wouldn't have rezzed at the nearby graveyards, they are, I beleve, hord only.) I would have to take the normal path -- through the Plaguelands.

As she nervously entered the Western Plaguelands, Rassaa noticed that most of the animals didn't look particularly interested in her. Releived, she rode on. However, she soon learned looks could be decieving as a bruised-up Black bear started chewing on her ram's leg. Frightened, she ran off and didn't look back at the crazed bear.

Halfway through the Western Plaguelands, Rassaa was getting attacked at every turn. Insane wolves, Spiders, and bears advanced on her atevery angle. Rassaa spurred on her ram and rode past them, then entered a scary, blood-red area that the locals called "Eastern Plaguelands", although Rassaa thought it should be called "Land of Evil." Indeed, it was a very evil place -- giant, plagued bats flapped around her, gigantic grubs eating the corpses of dead travalers. She even caught site of what looked like mounds of sludge-ified plague! She shuttered and tempted her ram faster.

After dodging past countless monsters, inclueding grubs, bats and demonic dogs, Rassaa came apon Corrin's Crossing -- a deadly ghost town full of, well, ghosts. She swirved to the right, passing inbetween the town and a lake fullof Water Elementals. Then she went back onto the road, and rode on.

I am not ashamed to say that she totaly lost her way. Because I truely had no idea how to get to the Ghostlands from EPL, I resorted to guessing. She tried going up near Plaguewoods, dying several times, then discovered that there was no way to get across the mountains. After several more deaths, I went on Google to look.

After I found out where she could actualy get to Ghostlands, turns out you go through a portal, she easily got past the Plaguelands. Once in the Ghostlands, she avoided the towns and headed north, ignoring the stares all of the BE noobies gave her. When she reached Eversong, she skitted past the numerous towns and tracked down a beautiful Springpaw Stalker. It was busy stalking a young Dragonhawk, so it didn't notice Rassaa stalk up apon it. Talk about Stalking the Stalker. She started taming it without bothering with an Ice trap -- she just let the little guy chew at her. When he was tamed, she hearthed back to Ironforge and bought some meat, Roast Quille to be exact, and fed the cat until he was full. Then she headed out to Aerie Peak, the town not the server, and started killing wolves. Here is my attack pattern;

Ranged - Aimed shot, cuncusion shot, Arcane shot, serpent sting, lots of Auto shot.

Melee - Auto attack, Raptor strike if needed, Mingoose bite when possible.

After only a couple hours, her little kitty was level 23 and at loyalty level 5. While she was grinding, a couple things dropped for her -- a Mistscape Sash, and something truely special -- a truely Dazzling Dazzling Longsword! That one raked me in 200g, although I probubly could have sold it for more.

Anyway, I rather enjoyed that adventure. I hope to do a dungeon soon to level up my kitty, and, *hint hint* he/she still needs a name.. And, it's one of these.

Rassaa Review

Guild -- none, as usual.

Friends -- again, none. /sigh?

SW rep -- 4k/21k. /SIGH

Me. Sarge.

Prairie Wolf

I was goofing around on my little level 10 hunter (I only really play her when my friend comes over, but I wanted to level her up a bit.) After painfully leveling her up from 6 to 10, I scavanged around for a nice mage to portal me to Thunder Bluff. I will note that this took *way* longer than I had hoped it would! But, I was lucky and found a very nice mage that happily ported me and refuses my tip. WooT nice people ^^

I ran out into Bloodhoof Village and hung out for a minute, then ventured a bit south to find a Prairie Wolf. I tamed the highest level one I found, and *very* easily leveled him up to 10. Why did I get a low level wolf? Prairie Wolves are special -- they bark when you click them, like that level 35 wolf, Spot, in Theramore Isle. I named him something really lame, but this charecter likes cute names for her little anklebiter pets. Therefore, I named him "yipper" or "yip" for short.

By the way, my friend asked me why most people don't have a barking wolf. The short answer, they don't know about the skill. The long answer, they don't constently check Petopia for new pets (or old pets) with special talents. In a new hunters mind, a level 10 when tamed wolf is better than a level 6 when tamed wolf.

Aannyway, my little hunter now has a friend.

Bluefur hits 60!

Outlands has treated me well (except for a few Orc misshaps...) and I did get to 60. Well, after a load of quests and a pet adventure. That is, I did every quest that I felt like doing and grabbed a Diseased Wolf. And after all this, 60!!! I had 660 gold (400 of it from Allicat, a great friend) so I flew off to Shattrath and ported to Org. Lucky for us Hunters, the Wolf Vendor/Trainer, hunter trainer, and pet trainer are all in the same general area. (Woot! Wolf mounts for the WIN!) I ran to the wolf vendor and bought the wolf I had decided on long before a Swift Timber Wolf! I got so excited over it that I kind of forgot to train pet and hunter skills, and I was in Eastern Plaguelands (to get a Plagued Swine pet) grabbing the boar. Then I was in Thrallmar with my hearthstone on its 1hour cooldown on. After a few kills with my boar, I remembered to train it Growl. (I forget to train that ALL of the time.) When I opened the tab, however, I noticed I still only had Growl rank 6, level 50. I needed Growl rank 7, 60! And my hearth was on cooldown. Fun >.<

Note: I named the boar Soul.

Well, it took an hour, but I got to Org again after my hearth went off CD and I trained for pet/hunter skills. Now I am officialy a 60 hunter!

Meet SummerGale!

Rassaa has been dornment for a while, and finely I figured I should get on her and at least try out a new pet. Because long aggo I let free poor old Timber, (he was giving me that sad, longing look.) I had a free stable slot. I then logged off again, because a Horde friend wanted me to run him through WC. *Sigh*

Durring the long WC, I noticed that some nice animals roamed around in not difficult to get areas. Specificaly, the Deviate Stinglash, a green windserpent. It was level 16-17, and Rassaa was 17, so it was my level. The only problem was that Green just isn't my color. Personaly, I like the white and blue ones better. But, I would have to live, because I wouldn't be seeing a blue one until 19 and a white one until 25/26.

I got on Rassaa and flew to Booty Bay, then got on the boat to Ratchet, where I roamed around and admired animals. (I actualy tamed a lion and a raptor at one point but wasn't satisfied with either.) The run to WC took only a minute, and soon I was fighting my way to a windserpent. For self protection I tamed a temporary black raptor, who was disapointingly small. I was kind of hoping for a towering protector, not a lame little lizard.

When a Windserpent finely came into sight, I released my pet and started taming, and learned that it had a nockdown. However, I just started the tame again, and it never used the nockdown that time. When it was tamed, I noticed that it was the kind of pet I was looking for -- It was nearly two times my size! I hearthed to Loch Modan and showed it off, soon deciding that she was a girl.

I was expecting to have the long, "what do I name her?" sesions, but infact the name came to mind very quickly. I always figured Wind Serpents should have something to do with weather or wind in their names, so Gale came to mind. (This is also because in Zelda wind is always represented by a Green symbol.) Summer sounded nice to go along, and green always reminded me of summer, so their it was -- SummerGale. It matched her perfectly! Woohoo, Rassaa!

Bluefur gets a wolf!

Bluefur is nearing 60, and the last thing he wants when he hits 60 is a clunky old kodo. After leveling 15 levels with a Grey Kodo, he had enough of the dino. So he decided he would just do the Orc beginning quests and cloth turn ins to get a wolf. Easy, right?

Wrong.

After all of the boring newbie quests and all but the runecloth turn ins, Bluefur was barely into Revered(three bars to be exact). This was a problem. What was he to do, farm five bazillion stacks of runecloth to turn in? Not going to happen. While sadly gazing at the wolf he wanted at the time, a Timber Wolf, he noticed an Orc running by with a Frostwolf Tabard on. Then it struck him -- He could just do Alterac Valley a hundred times and turn in Bloods and armor scraps! The simplicity of the idea was astounding. He rushed into the queue and got started.

46 Alterac Marks of Honor later, Bluefur was two thirds of the way towards exalted with Org.

24 Alterac Marks of Honor and a Frostwolf Tabard later, Bluefur had hit it... He was exalted!
(Note that this took a lot longer in game then it sounds like.)
He sprinted out to Org and examined the wolves. For some reason that escaped Bluefur's mind, the Dire Wolf called out to him! He didn't really like the gray look, but seconds later he was proudly perched on the coolest mount in the game -- a wolf!

By the way, Tauren wolf mounts are BIG. I posted some pictures of his mount compared to a Orc wolf mount.
