Not much to report today. Spent some time again back in BRD to try and get the Shanker, no such luck. Ended up with another copy of the Goblin Jumper Cables XL & the Mixologists Tunic, though.
In browsing a few blogs this morning I found this. Kudos to Blizzard - this is fantastic marketing.

58!
Scott and I are now neck in neck. What grand fun! I am spending my time in Easter Plaguelands and grinding scourge stones and all the that other fun stuff one can collect there for the Argent Dawn. My goal? The pretty knife the quartermaster carries! Drool! Of course, I may just save it all up for the epics.
As a celebration of levelling, I spent some gold in the AH and bought the Assasination Blade.
So wandering around in EPL Scott and I decided to go grind together. We didn't get far. We were attacked by a 60 rogue & warrior. They left, we rezed and vented on a 60 mage who was sitting having a drink. My first 60 kill! Of course, we paid for it dearly since it turns out he was partied with the rogue and warrior. Go figure. We left to the other side of the map to grind.
Onward to 59!

Ding. Ding. Ding.
Is that a bell? No, that is Kaewhy at 57. It is unbelievable how quickly this is going. And I am only 5 bars from 58. There are a couple of factors that are pushing me up this quickly:
- a three month hiatus resulted in almost 6 full levels of restedness. It happens quickly when each kill is 700 xp.
- killing all those darn furlbogs! I had picked up two totems from them in Winterspring and Felwood, and they both were quest items, which I could not cash in until I was at least neutral with the Timbermaws. That is 6000 rep points. Each kill 5 points. Each stack of feathers or beads is another 150. That was a lot of killing.
These last few days of gaming has really driven in that I do not have a grip on effective PVP. I got my behind handed to me in Winterspring from a 53 druid. Those damn heals! And faerie fire - aaaaaaarrrrggg! If I can't stealth, I am toast!
Ah, well, that is something I can focus on at 60. Once I have beaten Scott to the end. And I am only 8 bars behind Himhotepp.
I won't even start today about the latest patch and what it has done to all our add-ons. Purists of the game would be pleased. I am not.

The pretty colour of Blue
Holy crow, will it ever stop? Three blogs in a row? Gadzooks! What can I say, I only get at chance to play on weekends.
Yesterday I did a little bit more grinding, killed a couple of allies to try and get back into practice. Turns out three months away from the game kind of hurts ones rank. And apparently it hurts one practice as well. I was wandering around and ganked a 49 priest. Let's face it - a properly spec'd priest level for level will hand my buttocks to me on a silver platter. The night elves will kiss it first. So I have to kill those lower than I. Anyways, I did so twice to the same priest who was obviously frustrated. The third time he got wise and hit his fear thingy that makes me run all over the place. And what do I do? I click on my Will of the Forsaken to stop that nonsense and grab it off my bar!!! So while I am running around like a fool trying to place it back on my bar, the whole time cursing & swearing, buddy takes off. Eh, who can blame him, really?
Anyways. A friend came on later and offered to grab his 60 rogue and take me into BRD and try and get me the Barman's Shanker. We went in 5 times, got the Mixologer's Tunic, three copies of Goblin Jumper Cables schematic and a pair of Mystical Boots of the Owl. Except for the armor, the rest are pretty much useless to me. I am sending one of the jumper cable things to my engineer, and the rest are going into AH. Where hopefully I can pick up some other blue armour since I am SERIOUSLY lacking.

Ding... again
54! Seems to be going a tad quicker now. Now that I know where I need to grind to level, etc. I spent some time yesterday clearing off some maps and doing some quick easy quests in Felwood and wandered into Winterspring.
In Winterspring I was welcomed with a wave from a warlock, whose wave was actually a dot on me then he proceeded to fear me and laugh at me since I was mounted and could neither dismount nor Will of Forsaken to stop it. I am sure I provided hours of chuckling afterwards. Very nice and quite ingenious. Kudos to you, unknown ganker.

Ding
Kaewhy made it to 53 last night. Finally. Let me tell you - Un'Goro is by far the hardest place to get anything done for all the allies roaming around the place. Let's just say I added up to a few HKs for a few characters. Including one kill that took place while I was AFK. I suppose I should know better than to walk away while not in the city. It took me far too long to kill pteradactyls, apes, and far too long to collect spores! Then in triumph I left and was looking over my quest list and discovered I had missed two quests. Arg!
In my frustration I vented on a NE rogue hanging out in Ratchet. It was fun. A lvl 16 Troll something or other whispered to me asking me what level this ?? rogue was. Instant stealth mode and I go look - 40. The troll had the presence of mind to say "farewell" just before he hit the dirt. Beauty! Pay it forward, I say.
