Level 75!!

After two weeks of being at level 74, I have finally made it to the big 75! I know it's not really that big a deal anymore since 78 is the new 75 and that 80 will be the new 78 soon, but hey- I can subclass now!! woohoo! Time to start the most painful quest in the game!

I started by waiting about six hours for cabrio, and cabrio did finally show up- so one raid boss down and 4 to go!! I've heard nightmares about people waiting as much as a month for Baium because they keep missing his spawn, I hope that I will be lucky enough to get him in a week or two [since he only spawns every 5 days once he's killed]

I'd like to thank all of my clanmates from the Final Heroes for helping me as well as all of my alliance friends in FCA, and lastly I'd especially like to extend a thanks to Marthax, and old friend for also mobilizing his clan, who had no vested interest at all in this raid, at a moment's notice to help me to kill Cabrio and start my subclass quests!

Anyway, I will be leaving for a short vacation so not too many posts for a bit, but I will be back to grind my subclass and spectral dancer class change like a demon when I return!! Good luck and good drops to all in the meantime!!

A week of AWESOME crafting!!!!

I used to be an OE nut. Overenchanting became too risky, no one wants to not be able to hunt anymore because you lost your weapon or lost your armor. So, instead lately I've been selling my drops and buying mats to craft, and I also managed to sell the Dragon Grinders I crafted a few weeks ago to get the Drac Bow rec. This week has been just PHENOMENAL! I can't believe the luck I've been having. Thanks to a thread on Blah, they recommended using Washu to craft a Draconic Bow so I gave hum a try, and of course- he worked! woohoo!! Scariest craft I've ever done, and I'm very happy to have a bow to use in 1.5 levels!


A few months back I started purchasing SOM mats and a rec, withthe intention of one day crafting it and selling it. I also was speaking to a Drac Bow crafter who is 7/8 on Drac Bows, so I figured I would give him a try with SoM. And, thanks to Noods, I now have a SoM to sell!




Broke now, but have some cool gear that I should be able to turn a profit on pretty easily. w00t! Back to more grinding, gotta get that spectral dancer stuff done!

For anyone who's going to do the third class change- a small recommendation, do your Cryolite Quest at level 73, and then choose your alliance with the orcs or ketras at level 74. You have to do them anyway, might as well get them out of the way now. The alliance quest is HORRIBLE in terms of XP...but if you have a BH with you, it's got some great spoils!
