Bronze Drake and RAF finished!

Not as much boxing done as I thought I would be doing lately, mostly due to the fact that I'm now raiding more on the main (which is all good).

Did get around to doing COT timed and got 2x Bronze Drakes so far.

I got a couple of weeks left on my RAF, but decided to call it finished - Got warrior, druid, warlock, hunter and priest to 60, and a rogue on main account to 54 - Not much, but it is what I need and I can't be bothered to do more boosting.

I had intended to get the rogue to 60, and have another druid + maybe get a team up on another server - But there just haven't been time or energy enough to get it done - So calling and end to the RAF now. The decision was made even easier by the fact that I now what that druid to be a Troll ;)

The plan going forward is to make sure I can comfortably take the Grins' through all heroics to make sure I get the dailies done to maximize the emblem farming, farm some TOC normal and learn it on heroic (my dps is still low, need to tune macros and gear some). Any spare time will be spent getting the mixed team to 80.

On a side note, I upgraded to Windows 7, 8 GB memory and a SSD on my boxing computer - And now it runs fine even in Dalaran despite being a old machine processor and graphics card wise :D

Cleared Trial of Champions

Well, 3.2 is live - Lots of badge loot to get, not much time to post between work, raids on main and boxing.

The Grins' are in farm mode now and I intend to add more heroics to the rotation, which means that the mixed team will have to wait on its leveling.

The new 5 man is somewhat involved to box, I got it down to no wipes now on normal, but not sure if I have the dps to deal with the heroic - Should probably invest some in geming and enchanting the gear of the shamans.

ZG Cleared!


Been a while since I posted, did some pvp on the Grins', including winning a few 3v3 arenas, clearing some heroics and clearing ZG + 1 boss in KZ for mount farming for Perrigrin.
The mixed team is 66/67ish, and just about getting done with Nagarand.

Mixed Team Questing

Well, first play session with the mixed team in HFP - 2x62 and 3x61 so far - Not bad, but the change from boosting with RAF bonus is quite disheartening.

Did a few collection quests to up my gear quicker, but will skip most of those and just go for multi-box-friendly type of quests.

If I'm going to do harder stuff I need to work on my warrior tanking skills, and some on my healing setup, but for most questing I'm fine as it is.

Update

Finally got all the transfers done, so now my mixed 60 team is on the appropriate accounts, ready to start the run to 80. I must say that once you get through the mile long phone wait, Blizzards tech support is excellent.

While waiting on that to go through I farmed enough shards to buy the +10% xp shoulders on all accounts, so the mixed team will have a 10% bonus leveling.

Also, the Grins' got a few upgrades and did some dailys for cash - I'll be splitting my leveling time with some easy heroics and daily quests to get the cash to support the mixed team and to get badges for retribution gear for Perrigrin.

And, on a side note, I am getting quite bored of SFK and SM boosting ;) I need a couple of more characters leveled to get my rogue and druid 2 on the main account to 60 - And then the goal of this RAF session will be filled.

The Grins' are Back!

Well, starting to move my 60 team over to the main accounts now - Slight hickup with Blizzards billing department, so not quite done yet ;)

But, while waiting on that I took the Grin's back to Gundrak heroic and cleared it - One wipe due to me muting keyclone, but other than that just a few odd shaman deaths - So fairly happy with how it went.

Will be farming retribution gear for the pally and gear for the shamans while leveling the other team. Having the shammies at better gear level will help if I need to gear out tank 2 a bit + Next patch will have some great improvements in loot potential for 5 man stuff, so I need to be ready to exploit that for the paladin.

Mixed Team is 60!

Well, decided that I had enough of boosting for a few days, so used what I had to get the tank of the mixed team to 60 - Making it 5 x 60 - Just about to move 4 characters to Lich King enabled accounts now.

As for the rogue and the druid, I'll get to boosting for their levels later ;)
