www.worldofwarcraft.com/index.xml Top Article. Obligatory OMG WTF!? That's great, IMO. I wish FFXI had this! I don't plan on using it any time soon, but still...damn! Sex Change'd.

Never release until after look is rolled for. Even if you are dead you can still roll for loot, then release.
Hortario got nothing done last night expect made his Primal Mooncloth Shoulders. Got some guildies to help with the mooncloth making and its super easy now. I think undead look pretty cool in this armor too.
BTW, I had no idea at 71 Inner fire starts giving a bonus to spellpower. That is totally awesome. I was so confused why I saw so many priests putting talents into improved holy fire. Now it makes so much more sense.

I called that! I totally called that! Remember, Steph? I remember us talking about it and saying something like "wonder when they will offer plastic surgeory or sex changes to go along with the barbershop"I didn't think it'd actually happen but I totaly called it. In any case, I'm happy with all of my characters sexes.

We were in Stormwind's barber shop late one night, talking about the new changes, and he mentioned that. I didn't think they'd actually do it though. It's nice to have that option, but I'm happy with all of my character's appearances.

Hortario is freakign 2 bubbles from 70. argh. I was jsut so tired, and the quests in Northrend were kicking my ass. I was trying to kill things in Warsong hold but the respawn on the scourge there is just insane. I would kill one and it would respawn as im looting it. And then it would always bring over friends. Now mind you I can heal through a lot of damage, but priests cannot solo three mobs at a time. Its just too much for us in Holy form at 69. I would kill them but have no mana or life left and another would spawn. So I gave up and had to go to bed.
I will be 70 today. That will make 4 70's. I play this game too much.
Kikaro and Vortia will not be leveling up. Vortia never, Kikaro, only if I get really bored. My new warlock is going to replace Kikaro even soon.
I did however complete the Battle for Undercity quest line on Almuhan.
Oh.
My.
God.
That was the best set of quests ever. The Wrathgate event was fucking amazing. Have you done this Norfy? The wrathgate in Dragonblight? Oh you really need to.
I dont know what Alliance does on the Battle for Undercity but We kill Varimathras, and he is actually gone from the world for these characters. So even the old world has different phases. I go to undercity now and Lady Sylvanis is there without her companion. Its kind of neat.
I am in love with this expansion.

Not yet but I am working on it. I am on the Dragonblight quests. My current quests are in the Wyrmrest Temple and I'm slowly plugging away at those. I'm in instances more than I am doing quests but thats been normal for me since I first started playing the game. I know I will be getting level 80 via instances but reguardless, I will be doing up these quests afterwards anyways just to see the storyline that goes with it.
I finished the Borean Tundra quest line and that was interesting itself. The plot wasn't that huge overall as it had to do with a Death Knight reuniting with his sister but seeing as its only the first area in Northrend you can't expect the plot to be super huge yet.
I am more interested in doing the Varimathras thing for Horde though since the whole thing seems to affect Horde and not so much Alliance. But either way it looks fun
Oh and, Kikaro! Not sure if you have any herbalists on your newer characters but Zul'Drak is a great place to make a ton of gold. Raylu is using it as a primary source of income for now.

Sholazar is great for herbing. adder's Tongue is everywhere for me to gather.
Almuhan is 77 and still questing in Dragonblight. So I have not made it to Zuldrek yet. I technically havnt done anything in Sholazar but herb
Almuhan got his Explorers tabard last night. I have explored all of Northrend. Now I need to go back and finish the other world so I can get the title.

Herbalism in general is a great cash maker. Zul'Drak has Tolandra's Roses everywhere. The first time I went to put them on Auction they were going for 80 gold a stack. The price has since dropped to 40 gold a stack. Since I just started gathering these I don't know what the general price is yet. But even 40 gold is pretty good. And the zone is covered in these things, its great.
I'm trying to find several ways to make gold. There are so many options out there and the more knowledge I have the faster I can get my epic flyer. I have my Death Knight going through Thousand Needles and mining the fuck out of the zone. That place has lots there. Copper, Tin, Iron and the odd Gold and Silver veins. And I got his SKinning to 100 and I have taken him through Shadowfang Keep a few times. Pretty much every enemy in there can be skinned. And those that can't be skinned do drop decent amounts of cloth.
With all this though Raylu will be the only character I get the epic flyer for. Its just not worth it to be farming 6000 gold for it more than once.

Yeah I need 2 epic flyers. I have 1000 gold. You figure it out. Plus you need 1000 gold at 77 to learn cold weather flying in northrend. So I need:
Hortario
1000 for normal flying 5200 for Epic flying 1000 for Northrend flying
Almuhan 5200 for epic flying
so total 12,400 gold.
*sigh*

I've been doing Dragonblight quests all day and there has been no mention of Varimathras. Maybe I'm in the wrong place. But the quests I have been doing have been quite fun surprisengly. I am slowly but surly uncovering the mystery behind the leader of the Scourge in Dragonblight, Thel'zan. I am on my way now to go and confront him. This quest line has been interesting.

Holy shit! This game finally has cutscenes. I just finished the Dragonblight quest line and I got to watch this.
I'm sure its differant for Horde players. In any case I was quite impressed with this. I can't wait to see more. If only they had this kind of thing in the game before WotLK and TBC cause it would have served for one epic buildup. I have not done the Varimathras thing yet but I know its close. I'm already starting to see where he's going to fit into this.

I was about to do the Undercity thing but I made a dumb ass mistake. The timer thing said it was in 5 minutes so I figured I'd explore Tirisfal Glades a bit. I don't have anything other than Undercity unlocked. But when the timer said two minutes I figured it was time to head back....but I couldn't remember where I was supposed to be. So Varian and Jaina stormed Undercity without me. I dropped the quest and I'm going to try again. This was a result of my stupidity. Oh well I am guessing that Alliance players will be able to visit Lordareon upon completion of this quest and that it will no longer be unfriendly territory. This is just a guess though. If I am right then maybe its time to take back Gnomergan too. Ah well, who cares about Gnomes anyways. COmpared to the other races in this game, Gnomes have like, no backstory or lore. EDIT>> Ok so I was wrong. No Lordarean for Alliance. It was kind of a pointless quest for Alliance. I want to see this from a Horde perspective.

Yeah, we win. HA HA HA>
I am really curious to see this from the Alliance perspective myself.
Was working on my enchanting last night. Hort wont get his flying mounts for a while so meh. I just bought enchanting stuff. I am up to 350 enchanting, and also 387 tailoring. Not too bad. Though I am very sad to see that enchanting now requires herbs on some of them. Ugh.
Hortario has only been 70 a day now and even before I got the +40 spellpower on my sweet ass dagger, I have about +750 healing. my greater heals are pushing 4500-4600 and my criticals easily surpass 7000. I also decided on a new way to spec. I have been studying some of the raiding holy priest and think I found a good path to take. Improved Inner fire will rock if I can just get one more level. It will begin adding a bonus to spellpower as well. And with the talents it should easily be bumped up around +200
Hortario is going to be my new instance whore, and Almuhan is going ot be my money maker. He will of course do instances, but my main priority is going to be Hortario.
