Raiding is so much fun.
I did Halls of Lightning last night. I do not like that instance. The final two bosses you need to always be running back and forth to avoid their lightning attacks. As soon as you see lightning forming you need to run away. Then when the lightning is gone you need to run all the way back to the boss and it gets so tiresome. We made it to the final boss of the dungeon but we could not beat him. Its so freaking hard.

I didnt think Halls of Lightning was so bad. We did that one a few times. Got a nice chest piece there.
Almuhan is now, Almuhan The Explorer! I finished exploring the entire world. It was kind of fun actually. I am going to get exalted with all the Horde factions next. You get the title Ambassador.
Achievements are awesome. I have been going back and getting all the little dungeons too. Good times.

This really isn't big news but I found on the auction house a Lovely Black Dress for 50 gold. That's 200 less than what I saw it go for before. I picked it up just for the hell of it. It did not put a dent in my Epic flying mount funds at all. Maybe I had a bad run through for HoL. Maybe my next go through will be easier. That can happen sometimes. We didn't even finish the last boss. We gave up. By the way, Kikaro. Just curious about something. Remember in the very first video for Wrath of the Lich King that was shown at Blizzcon last year? The one the showed us all the new features to look forward too? I remember seeing one new feature that would allow us to have custom /dances but I have seen nothing of the sort. Do you know if that was scrapped or if has yet to be put in? Cause I have seen nothing with that yet.

Apparently it was delayed. No official word.
I ran halls of Lightning last night. It was incredibly differnt.
First off, the third boss that summons the lightning static ball things? I was doing the normal run out of the room thing. They would vanish. I would STILL get static shock and explode hurting everyone. That was REALLY unusual.
The last boss was easy. But if you dont stay in a group you die faster. This is good info. Apparently my guild forgot that during his area attack you run away from him. I ran, got hit REAL hard cause I was alone. Sucky.
We cleared with no deaths, it was jsut a bit harder. I fear Heroic mode.
All the loot that dropped was shit too. No one needed anything. Argh.
Tonight we are raiding Obsidian Sanctum. Go Go Dragon fights!

I did Halls of Lightning last night agian and it went way better than my first group. The second last boss went way smoother and was funner cause of that. I still don't like the final boss though. The one you speak of. We did beat him this time. He dropped a robe for me and a gun for the hunter. Two drops!

Kik, have you done Culling of Stratholme instance? I just did it now and WOW, is it fun or what! It takes place during Warcraft 3 when Arthas went crazy and destroyed all the innocents in Stratholme. You get to team up with him while he was still a Paladin. It has all the Warcraft 3 cutscenes with a few extra ones too. It was interesting. That was my favorite part of WC3. What is strange though is Arthas' voice. When they do the cutscenes from WC3 its the same voice actor (they just reused the sound files) but when Arthas is talking to you his voice actor is completly differant. It COULD be the same guy though. Maybe he just hit puberty or something. EDIT>> Ding 80

It is a different actor. But they wanted to use the WC3 stuff so... its mixed. I have not gotten do to that instance yet sadly.
And YAY for 80!
My priest is like 2 bubbles from 72 on my Priest.

Now that I am 80 I will be focusing on my Epic Flyz. I have 3600 gold and now that I don't have to level up I can focus on that and get it in no time. Herbalism ftw! It woulda been nice to have those epic flyz already though. Some of my last quests were in Storm Peaks and Ice Crown and those areas have lots of mountains and barriers you need to fly over. Having a flying mount that moves at 60% speed made it a bit arduous. Having an epic that moves 10 times faster would have made it easier. So maybe I will get epic flyz for future 80 characters as well. Just to make their journey up there easier than Raylu's. Now that she will have epic flyz, gathering herbs will be super fast so getting the cash will be quick.
Eh, pardon me. I'm rambling.

So you need less gold than I do but I have more time than you. Let's make it a race. As soon as either of us gets it we shall take a screenshot and post it. The winner gets a stuffed moose and the loser gets a moldy donair. Agreed?
I noticed in Dalarn they have a mount vendor with an Epic Snowy Gryphon. Considering I have the regular Snowy Gryphon as my flying mount I wouldn't mind having that epic one. But its costs 1000 more gold so I will just get a normal epic flyz and save up for the snowy one later....much later. Its not a priority.

Goddamit! I'm stuck with the effing donair. Anyways, gratz to you, Kikerz! I will have mine soon. I spent all my evening farming. Herbing in Zul'Drak, Icecrown and Storm Peaks. I made almost 500 gold today I think. I have 4000 now and am 1000 away from the skill for riding. After that just another 200 for the bird itself then I am off and away to the races.

I got to try the Vault of Archavon raid. The 10 man version. You can only enter it if your faction has control over Wintergrasp. My guild invited me for it. I'm undergeared but it didn't matter. We had a Druid in the guild who was the main healer. It is a very short raid. Shorter than Azjul Nerub and thats not even a raid. You have to face off agains't five normal baddies, one at a time, then there is a single, lonely boss. We beat him. It was easy. I got to loot my first Emblems of Heroism. And it was my first taste of WotLK raiding. Good fun! EDIT>> Zoot! I got my epic flyz! I chose the purple one. I never see anyone with that one or the green one so I decided to be differant. The thing moves so fast, I love it. As soon as I got it I finished exploring some areas in Outland and have the achievment for it. I will ge tthe epic snowy one eventually. But for now, I want to do some Heroics and use my cash for now to build up my Tailoring. There are some nice robes I can make at cap.

Grats on level 80 and epic flying mounts for the both of you. I will come back to WoW sometime, after all I still have a 2 month card I haven't used yet. Probably sometime after they allow death knights on any realm. They just now released a new version of the model viewer that's compatible with WotLK, so it's been fun playing with that again.

Start grouping when you get back. Instances are a large part of the game and you miss out on a lot of fun if you don't do any of that stuff.
