Pause Button Hit!

And the pause button is called Warhammer - Picked up a copy and been fiddling with it instead of multi-boxing - Good fun, hopefully it will last longer than Conan did.

Will get back to multi-boxing at the latest when 3.0 patch hits though, for those last levels to 70.

The Slave Pens Cleared!

Went in to The Slave Pens and cleared it - Turned out to be quite easy aside from forgetting about an AE on Rokmar the Crackler which wiped me, and some interesting pulls when mobs managed to fear Perrigrin.

In the end Quagmirran died, and gave up a Spore-Soaked Vaneer.

Not to bad experience, not sure what would be faster - Farming this or questing.

Less than 2 months to go!

Well, Blizzard finally announced the release date of the expansion - November 13!

I pre-ordered 1 collectors and 4 regular to be able to play day 1, but I have to say that I feel a bit disappointed that I didn't get a chance to spend a month or 2 at level 70 farming with my team.

Since my current play time don't really allow me to worry about raiding I have decided to level to 80 with the entire team - As I don't need to reach 80 particularly fast for raiding, but can go at my own pace.

HFP Questing and Ding 64!

Spent quite a bit of time questing in HFP today - Which dinged the 'grins' 64.

I have to say that questing was a bit slower than I anticipated, but got some nice gear out of it - And it is a nice change from just grinding instances.

For the record, collection quests on 4 characters is a bitch, doubt I'll get around to doing them - Currently debating if I should finish the quests (minus the collection ones) in HFP before heading to grind the faction out in The Slave Pens.

Ding 63!

Well, decided that I really wanted 4x Diamond-Core Sledgemace - Took me around 20 kills of The Maker to get it :P
At least I got 4x Girdle of the Gale Storm and dinged level 63 in the progress.

Time to burn of the HFP quests 4-boxing!

Ding 62 and Farming The Maker

On the second complete clear of BF I scored a Diamond-Core Sledgemace from The Maker - Which is one of the better maces for the 'grins' until 70, so decided to farm for that one and some faction by killing him repeatedly.

I can do a run like that in around 20 minutes if I push it - But in 6 runs, I got 4x Libram of Saints Departed and 2x Ironblade Gauntlets - At least the shammies are 62 and got Thrallamar reputation to 5999/6000 (as well as scoring a few shards).

Most likely I'll try a few more runs for that mace, and then 4-box the quests in HFP before moving on to Zangarmarsh.

Ding 61 and The Blood Furnace Cleared!


Didn't get to play all week, but cleared Ramparts another time this morning, dinging 61 - And then headed to The Blood Furnace.

Turned out to be a decently easy instance, I managed to get one wipe due to not paying attention - And on the last boss, Keli'dan the Breaker, all shamans died due to sloppy AE dodging (I can imagine this place being quite difficult in heroic mode).

Scored some healing gear (Auslese's Light Channeler and Girdle of the Gale Storm), which I start stacking on Babegrin as she will be the dedicated healer once/if I need one.

Finishing the two quests in there also provided some minor upgrades.
