If you don’t want the achievement, I suggest still doing these for the gold.
There are 38 Horde fires and 40 Ally fires. If you take an 80 to all of them, and assume 6g for Horde fires and 13g for Ally fires (its actually MORE because it also gives about 50 silver as well) that is 748 Gold… just for flying/running around and clicking on fires
I am friended with 2 other players right now, and the first one is expiring tomorrow. So obviously we wanted to get as close to 60 as possible, and honestly 58 was enough for me since that is where the Outlands quests start in Thrallmar. Last night we got another run in Stratholme and both dinged 58. My hunter actually hit 59 and my friend, which is a Warrior, hit 58. So we will be starting in Thrallmar this weekend.
This is the 3rd time I have done this quest and questline and I never get tired of it. The Mage is 72 right now, so a friend of mine who has a 71 Priest went and ran the whole quest line in about 2 days. I loved watching the video, seeing the town burn in DB and then talking to Thrall in Orgrimmar. Fighting along side Thrall and Sylvannas is quite fun. I am looking forward to running it again on The Hunter once he reaches that level. Of course I have screen shots of the even before it starts, as I do on my other 2 toons, I’ll try and post one in here soon.
The Warrior ran 10-Man Naxx last night and got 3 new pieces of gear. His DPS was still quite low at around 1450 on KT, the last boss. I think I might try and find a rotation somewhere to increase DPS, the one I am using now is BloodThirst, Whirlwind and Heroic Strike, mostly.
The three new pieces I got where a new Helm, Chest Piece, and a new Trinket. Of course the armor is all plate and the trinket increases Crit/AP.
I am not overly interested in gearing out my Warrior, but the guild was running a 10-man last night and my Shammy is decked is T7.5 or higher, so I thought I would learn some fights with the Warrior instead. I enjoyed it alot and I hope I can run some more to get better gear and his DPS up much more.
The Hunter is waiting at Level 50 for my friend to get his Warrior to 50, so that we can go start running through Stratholme and then Diremaul, up to 58 and Outlands. So while my friend is leveling, I took my Druid into ZF with him again last night on a run from another friend of ours with an 80. My Druid was 46 and dinged 47 last night, and my friend’s Warrior dinged 48. Triple XP is AWESOME.
I don’t think I have blogged about this yet, but I started a new priest a few weeks ago on the Recruit-a-Friend program with yet another person (this is my 4th refer bonus reward) This was a random person in my guild who I did not know, that wanted to run up a couple of toons to 60 with the Triple XP. So I deleted my first priest and started a new one. We ran together up to 30, then I put the priest down and ran my Hunter with him, who dinged 50 over the weekend. So yesterday, I got him to login while my priest was online and lvl grant me from 30 to 47.
I had a good time this weekend, running the priest around Silverpine Forest and The Barrnes, picking flowers. I leveled his Herbalism several levels and used the mats to level his Inscriptions. When I learned how to make Glyphs, the very low, first few ones, I made one of each and put them on the Auction House. They are selling for anywhere from 8-29 Gold. It seems that right now, Inscriptions is a good way to make money, so I will definately be continuing with this process!
On friday night we ran the Ulduar 25-man and I got this achievement. I also got a couple of new pieces of gear and finally replaced my last 2 blues pieces of gear, my bracers and my chest piece. My guild runs 25-man Ulduar every Friday night, so I plan to go again next week also. The first wing is as far as I got this night, so hopefully next week we’ll get a bit further.
I am going to start trying to post something every day in this blog, since I play WoW just about every day anyway. I want to keep a record of events that I do and find.
Last night we ran a 25-man Naxx which went pretty well. It was mostly a guild run, but we did have some PUGs also, and a few guildies who were new 80s. We did just fine up to Thaddius where we died 3 or 4 times from the Polarity shifts. I left shortly after that, not because I was upset, but I had to log off the game for a bit to go do something else. I logged back in around 10pm ST and they were on Sapphiron: Kel’Thuzad’s gigantic frost wyrm guardian. They downed him and I assume went on to KT, although I didn’t stay on long enough to find out. Overall it wasn’t a bad run, but the run a couple of weeks ago went much smoother.
I used to get real burned out on PVP, but I have found lately that I am enjoyin them more. BGs were especially fun last night. Some friends and I ran into the Alliance flag room in WSG… picked up the flag, and then dropped it in front of the AC there and let them return it. At first they tried to kill us, and we died a couple of times, but then I ran back and started dancing with them and they finally got it. Several of them pulled out the orphans and we just sat there, in peace with Allies, for several minutes, picking up their flag and dropping it for them to return. This was after I had already got mine in our flag room. I think some of the Allies in there were doing the same thing, they seemed to be running slower than normal. It was quiet funny, I was laughing the whole time. Definately the most fun I have had in a BG, in a long time.
Hunter dinged 30 2 days ago on the refer-a-friend program. I do not get to play him much because my friend works 2 jobs, so we try and level them when we can. We also started 2 new toons, in hopes that we’ll have time before the 90-day trial expires, to take both of them to 60. I now have a Rogue.
