The Warlock dinged level 70 last night. Now I get to spend cash on Primal Waters and Fires, and Shadowcloth, so that I can make his Frozen Shadoweave Epic pieces. I also trained him to make the Imbued Netherweave Blue set, so he will wear 1 or 2 of those, but I already got him a purple belt so I will actually have 4 purples on him.
The purples that I have on my Warrior, he is still wearing. I will write another post in a bit about Northrend quest rewards, how they aren’t better then the Blues/Purples from Outlands 70s PvP/Raids.
I am doing this quest right now. I highly suggest that everyone on Horde do this quest. There is a bonus in-game video when you turn in the Quest titled Return to Angrather. It is quite exciting.
The Warrior is at 73 right now and will be 74 tonight. FOR THE HORDE!
***EDIT***
After I completed this quest, I learned a couple of things. At first, I couldn’t figure out where to go or what to do. After you port from Orgrimmar to the entrance of Undercity, you are supposed to talk to Thrall to start the quest. He wasn’t there when I got there, so I went in and got killed. I later learned that if he isn’t there, that means someone else is running the raid. Simply wait at the entrance, by the big troll who gives you the quest, for Thrall to reappear. Once he comes back, talk to him and get started. This is really a glorified escort quest…all you need to do is follow Thrall until the very end. There is also a meter at the top of your screen that will tell you which part of the quest is going on. Wait for that to say it is resetting and that is when Thrall will appear at the entrance again.

I didn’t quite realize that it had been an entire month since I had written here, so I am going to post an update for all the toons I have been working on since the last entry.
The Warrior:
I ran Kara for the first time just a few nights ago. I never really got into Raiding with the Warrior, mostly because most people want me to tank and I don’t like tanking. At one time, I got very burned out on the Warrior, but lately since re-specing to ARMS, I have been enjoying him more. I plan to level him to 80 once WOTLK comes out next week.
The Warlock:
With the new patch, 3.0.3, that dropped 2 days ago, you can now get the Dreadsteed from the TRAINER at level 61! It cost me 510g for the riding lessons, something which I didn’t have to buy for the level 30 mount, and the horse itself was 17g. My goal is to get the Warlock to 70 before WOTLK drops. Last night I quested with him in Nagrand and ran Underbog, and finished the night around 65% through level 66. I will definitely hit 67 with him tonight and see how far I can get him.
The Mage:
The Made is at level 51 and I have put him on a temporary hold in order to spend time leveling the Warlock to 70.
The Shaman:
I have been running the Shaman for the last few weeks on the Refer-a-Friend program with a friend who has a Warlock. We are both around level 40 and it didn’t take much time to get there. It isn’t uncommon to get 9500+ XP for a quest turn-in at this level with this triple XP bonus.
The Hunter and The Twink:
These 2 names are the same toon. I started a hunter a while back, only because I didn’t have one and I wanted to see what they were like. In my opinion, there are too many hunters on the server. Anyway, after I started him and ran him up to around level 8, a friend on the server said that I should Twink him out and bring him into a Twink guild that he had. So we ran him through Deadmines and Wailing Caverns, getting some good leather armor drops and weapons for him and I started running Warsong Gulch with him last week. THAT IS FUN! He already has over 1000 kills and I have bought 2 new PvP pieces of gear with the honor I received. Our goal is to get them Exhaulted with Warsong Outriders, and then level them to 29 and start on Arathi Basin.
