Our highest DPS ever

Now, as a hunter I have always done my best to top the damage meter and optimize my DPS, but I have never seen it this high. While trying to free Undercity from demon control I started to noticed my DPS climbing ever higher. I grinned to myself and saw how high I could push it, and here it is 7211 DPS. I doubt I will ever see that number again or anything even remotely close but I have to admit that it was a blast to do. Sad thing was Kimoni kept getting smacked down. Oh well, at least he didn't steal the spotlight this time.

Happy Holidays!

To all of our readers, happy holidays, merry Christmas, happy Chanukah, and happy Winter Veil!

Word from Uzu

Greetings everyone, this is Uzumati. I thought since I've been around more I would tell you what I've been up to. I have decided that before I start to start seriously questing in Outland I would level my professions appropriatley. Cousin Miorbhuil has told me how difficult it is to go back and start over when you've reached level 80. I've decided to go with mining and engineering. We have no engineers in our group plus I thought it would be fur to make my own flyers as well as the motorcycle later on.

The most interesting thing I've been able to create are explosive sheep. There is just something so amusing about a sheep running up to a mob and blowing up. So I will be heading seriously into Outland soon but I just need to tie up some loose ends first.

Trying out a new pet

Hey guys, sorry it's been a while since I talked to you all last, been trying to clear out my old place in Nagrand and make room for Uzu, he's gonna be headed over there in a bit and I want to make sure things are ready for him. Those cobwebs are nasty after a month. Anyway, I've decided to try new things, one of which being a new pet. I've wanted things that match out guilds tabard as much as possible so I decided to try a purple wasp from Scholazar Basin. He has a really cool armor reduction skill which is going to be fun when I take him into battle groups and sick him on squishes. So that's enough for right now. I'll make Uzu stop by and talk to you all soon.

My name is Arat.

Greetings, adventurers. My name is Arat. I am a Druid, born and raised in Bloodhoof Village. I spend much of my time in Orgrimmar and the nearby Barrens these days, though, because I wish to advance my skills. One day, I may join my friend Malrey in the cold reaches of Northrend, though I know that it will be quite some time before I achieve that level of experience. I wish to become a great healer, renowned among all who fight with the mighty Horde, but in the meantime I am perfecting my shapeshifting abilities so that I can advance to a higher level of combat prowess.

I reached my nineteenth level just yesterday, after receiving a message from Malrey that healers were desperately needed in Northrend. I headed directly to Warsong Gulch, for I had heard many tales from Miorbhuil and Malrey about their exploits there. I spent part of my time healing others and some of my time carrying the flag myself. It was definitely a learning experience, since it was my first time using my Druid abilities directly against the members of the Alliance. I entered the battleground from Undercity, so when the fight finished and I left the Gulch in triumph, I was in the war room in Undercity. I heard a loud boom and looked up to find that I was staring into the eyes of a dwarf with a huge shield. The next thing I knew, I had been struck down where I stood and an enormous mob of Alliance scum attacked Lady Sylvanas and her consorts. In the image below you can see my crumped body and the glow of the Alliance attacks against the great queen of Undercity.

I resurrected myself at the nearby Spirit Healer, since I knew that my puny level 19 skills would never stand up to a full-on Alliance raid. After I repaired my gear and dusted off my dignity, I emptied my bags and asked a member of our Leather and Lace guild, Alyxandir, if he would accompany me through the Wailing Caverns. He graciously said that he would, then proceeded to show the serpents, crocolisks, and evil Druids of the caverns exactly what a level 80 paladin can do. I replaced nearly all of my armor by taking it off of the foes killed by Alyxandir. The most breathtaking pieces of my new armor were the Serpent's Shoulders, Glowing Lizardscale Cloak, and especially the Armor of the Fang. As well as the Armor of the Fang, I also won the Leggings of the Fang and the Foodpads of the Fang, increasing the bonus that I get from the partial set of gear! This is the first time that I have had armor that was meant to go together, so I am looking forward to seeing how it will improve my abilities in combat.

This will all help me greatly as I make my way into a new region now that I have nearly mastered the Barrens. I have not yet decided which path I will take, whether it be to the Stonetalon Mountains or Ashenvale, but I hope that the path will become clear before long.

Questing, no healers, failed groups, and sissy fights

Hi there, Mal here. I've been questing my rogue butt off lately, getting to know Dragonblight way too well. I do enjoy questing, but it gets boring to do it by myself so I usually look for people to group with for the local instances. Problem is, every time I finally get a group of four of us together, we can't find a healer anywhere. They simply don't exist anymore! Has every single healer over level 70 re-spec'ed to DPS? That's my theory, at least.

I decided to do something about this theory. I called on Arat, a Tauren Druid friend of mine, and told her that she needs to stop sitting on her level 17 butt and get out there more! Druids can make mighty fine healers when given the chance, and she'd be a hot commodity if she could get up to a high enough level to be useful. We'll see if she comes through.

I finally got a group together for Azjol-Nerub, that nasty spider kingdom underneath Dragonblight. It gives me the shivers just to think of all those spiders scuttling around right below my sexy leather boots. Anyway, we went down into the hole and and wiped on the first boss! So we tried again, and wiped again. Take three!...and another wipe. What was going on? Let's just say we had no idea. Finally, the tank and a DPS quit. We found replacements for them, and were about to tackle the first boss again, when I noticed I had been dropped from the group! Next thing I knew, a voice was telling me that I had 20 seconds to escape from the instance before I was teleported to Dalaran. I asked the tank what was going on, and after several minutes he responded by saying that he only does guild runs. I believe the exact wording he used was "Just say no to PUGs." Then don't join them in the first place, I say! What an idiot. He wouldn't even apologize for flaking on me and the other group members. I partied up with one of the others who got dropped, and we found some other people to run Old Kingdom with us instead. But man, that made me mad.

On the positive side of things, I met another rogue who gave me some great pointers. Since I have yet to find any good rogue websites out there, I've had to make my own way all this time and try to figure out how to use my moves in the best way possible. When this new rogue buddy thought I was ready to try out the things he had shown me, we stripped down and had a sissy fight out in front of Orgrimmar. Just check out our pictures to see proof of why I don't care how good of a rogue you are, Orcs are so much sexier than Undead! We turned some heads, but it sure was fun to get down to basics and have a fair fight with my big orc fists. My new friend was a good teacher, and I was so happy to learn some new strategies. Oh yeah, and I had some fun dancing naked in front of Org, too.

80 among other things

Heck yeah, 80 baby! It's been a really interesting trip so far and there is still a long way to go. Now it's time to start focusing on other things. I need to work on faction rep with the Oracles and the Wyrmrest Accord. I want the two mounts from them. Oh I got really lucky the other day and got the Reins of the White Polar Bear in my bag of Hyldnir Spoils. I don't know what I'm gonna name him yet, also a weird thing is he seems to be smaller then other bears, he's awesome anyway though.
Speaking of mounts, I saw one today that I have never seen before. The Reins of the Raven Lord. I'd only ever heard of it and knew it was incredibly difficult to come by, as I beileve it's only available from a boss fight during a druids swift flight training. Sadly however it was being ridden by a human. Dang alliance having the cool things.
Also since I turned 80 I've been able to travel more and enjoy some of the more fun and less well know events in Northrend. While hanging out with some of the Oracles in the Basin, they showed me a cool sport that they having been doing for years. Since I've made friends witht them they decided to let me have a go. So I'm proud to announce the introduction of Northrends newest extreme sport Crocolisk surfing!I guess that's enough for now. You'll be hearing from me a lot more in the upcoming weeks as I'll have a lot more free time for exploring and adventures.

Catching up and having fun while doing it.

I finally got my epic flying mount, I save up for a long time for it. I even got one with purple armor too match the guild tabard. It took me a long time to save up for it, mainly because I did leather working for most of my leveling. When it got to the last few levels it was taking me hundred of gold just to raise it one level. I realized I could make tons of gold by selling all the stupid mats instead of spending several hundred gold that I might be able to sell for 100. So I decided to drop leather working and switched to herbalism. It's taken me a while to level it up, since I decided to focus on getting to 80, but I've been easily distracted these past couple days so I decided to take a break from questing and level up my herb, and of all things, start doing Netherwing quests.I know you might think I'm nuts for doing Netherwing quests now but I actually figured now would be the best time. Everyone is in Northrend and Outland is filled with only Death Knights who leave the second they hit 68, so Netherwing Ledge was completely empty except for me. I was able to find 3 eggs within about 20 minutes. Once I knew what I was looking for that is. Anyway after finishing those quests I ran around azeroth a bit to get my herb up to 300 and then went to Hellfire. I have to say that leveling herb when you have an epic flyer makes life so much easier. As i was flying over Hellfire I spotted a Felreaver, the bane of every level 60's existence.I figured I was 78 now, with a 78 tanking pet, I can solo one. So, I did! And it went down like a sack of dung. I have to admit it was an amazing feeling. Well I'm gonna crank out the last level before I finish leveling my herb. Maybe I'll go back to leather working some day, but not until I get a mammoth.

Messin' around in Northrend - finally!

You're probably wondering, what happened to Mal? I thought this blog was called "Mio and Mal," but all I see is Mio. Well I, Mal, have finally finished all my big projects for school (let's just call it rogue training) and am finally able to jump back into Northrend. I've been questing around Dragonblight these days, running instances when I can.

I ran through Utgarde Keep today, and this time I only died once against Ingvar (as opposed to the many times I died my first time through). It was nice to feel like I knew what I was doing!

I was hanging out in Warsong Hold the other day, and guess what happened? I took the elevator downstairs from the flight master, and the next thing I knew, I was hanging in midair! What the... Did one of those weird magic types cast something on me to make me fly? Not cool! I couldn't go up or down until the elevator came back to get me. Of course, my buddy Aero was sitting there laughing at me the whole time. It was probably him who did it. You know those warlocks, they enjoy other people's pain.



A while back (bear with me, I haven't been around much lately), I was questing in the snow with an old friend Kiho. It was the first time we had done anything together since arriving in Northrend, and now I remember why! We had been asked to release a bunch of ravenous rats on the bodies of every person we killed, so they could pick the bodies clean. Yuck! I know it doesn't look like it because of the havoc I wreak on the enemies unfortunate enough to be a victim of my stealth, but I'm a mild-mannered kind of guy and I'm not much into blood and guts. Kiho, on the other hand... well, let's just say that it's a good thing I'm not undead. He not only sic'ed the rats on the bodies, but he joined them in the feast! Blech!

New toys and a gear change

Ok I have been questing and instancing my furry butt off and now have almost a complete gear change at level 77. This impresses me that I still have a few pieces of my old gear and it's taken me this to replace most of my stuff, means I had to be doing something right. Also I'm particularly fussy when it comes to my gear, I will not replace anything that makes me lose intellect as a general rule. You see I'm specced so my every point of intellect becomes a point of attack power so if I take away say +19 intellect for the sake of +15 ap I would be losing mana as well as 4 ap.

Anyway, as I was saying I've been doing lots of instances and I stick by my statements that all the ones I've been in are a lot more epic and fun then old stuff. Well, that's not entirely true, the real Old world stuff like AQ40 was just amazing and took my breath away, anyway back on topic! So only my trinkets and maybe a ring have been replaced by greens, everything else is blue or old purples. I finally replaced my beloved crossbow, which I'm keeping, and replaced it with the first gun I've had in a while. It dropped off of the big puppy from Violet hold, also the day after I got a new bow from the Golem/ elemental type boss in Gun'Drak, this is AMAZING luck as most mail drops have been shaman drops but now I'm going to lose a bag slot in the bank to hold a spare quiver.

Anyway, I'm most of the way through 77 and I still have my helmet, wrists and belt, lets see how long it takes me to replace those last few pieces.

The land of zombies and snow

Ok so let me just start out by saying I hate hate HATE zombies. Don't get me wrong, the forsaken are cool a cool race and I have nothing against them, what I mean by zombies are the evil ones that go around trying to kill everything and look like they're put back together in 30 seconds with a hot glue gun. Also, large bugs running around tend to creep me out as well after a while, this is why I spent about 5 minutes in Silithus, you can there for imagine my groan when I had went in Zul'Drak and there were zombies and bugs everywhere in the first part. Needless to say I rushed through that place at an almost dead run, once I got to the snow area though it was a lot better.

Anyway I was sent on several quests, one of which sent me to Har'koa, to this great beast I had to show my respect. I am not the kind of quester that exhausts all quests in an area before moving on, I am always in search of a challenge so I do just enough to level and move onto the next zone. For Har'koa though, I did all she asked. First freed the spirits of her children and then went to the bear god and ending it's suffering life. How could trolls do such a thing to the spirits, keeping them in chains. I said a prayer over the bear spirits remains and continued on my quests. I was then sent to locate the serpent god, who had already been killed, after I reported this I was sent back and left my body behind to travel as a spirit. Does anyone else find it odd that my shoulders, spear and Kimoni could be clearly seen?Anyway, I completed several tasks for the spirit of the serpent god, included killing it's treacherous prophet and returned once more to Har'koa. There were a few more tasks that needed to be done, and for one Har'koa met me in the nearby town and asked me for another task. I accepted her request but I have not completed it yet, you see I heard there was an old hunter friend who needed some help. You got that right since I am now level 76, I went to go see Hemet Nesingwary. It had been a while and I needed a changed of scenery and some time to thaw from the ice and snow. Anyway, my adventures in Sholazar are a tale for another day if they're interesting enough.

Welcome to Hellfire

Welcome, this is Uzumati and I am on my road to redemption. Once I walked through the Black Gate I knew Outland is where I could do the most good. People stared and sneered at me, and I heard mutters about all the former Death Knights running around. There were many quests for me there and I took them all willingly, killing demons and killing the red orcs that the demons tainted. I expected that my powers would wane once I left Ebon Hold, but I felt myself growing even stronger. Orcs and demons fell at my feet with little effort, at one point five of them were on me and they all went down. It has been lonely here and the road has been hard, my past haunts me, all the innocents I've killed in the name of Arthas. Frosty has been my constant companion, at least I have him and have saved him from a life in Arthas's stables. We shall over come together.

Now he's just getting cocky

Ok, so last night I was running Drak'Tharon with a group of amazing people (I'm not used to being so far the damage meter) andit was a complete blast! This group made each boss feel like a tank and spank. The mage was even kind enough to let me skin everything, I offered to give him some gold but he wouldn't let me. Anyway, after we take down the last boss, some troll comes in and thanks us for clearing the temple out. After a bit of him talking a flaming gateway opens and the Lich King comes out!! I think he's just getting a bit cocky at this point, I mean just strolling up about 5 yards from us as if we weren't there. All I know is I can't wait to hit 80 and get some better gear so I can wipe that glowing grin off of his undead face.

Rare mounts galore

Hello everybody, Mio here. I was just running around Northrend yesterday and saw some amazing stuff. Now this is something to behold, a spectral tiger. This is only the second time that I have ever seen one. Simply amazing, but it didn't even compare to what I saw next. I have NEVER seen one of these in the game, I stopped dead in my tracks and stared for a little bit, I just could believe it.

That's right people, the Phoenix mount. I could not believe my eyes. Really, all I need to see at this point is the Black Qiraji Battle tank and my life will be complete.

Epic battles

I just have to say, one of my favorite things about Northrend is you actully see things fighting among each other. Worgs trying to eat stags and then there is this. A mammoth and Magnataur going at it hard core. There is only one word for this, and that is EPIC!

Slow and steady, but now it's time for a break

OK so I dinged 73 today Woot! Of course Kimoni had to steal the moment with his big fuzzy butt *sigh* oh well. At least he's a better tank then most warriors I've met. Anyway I've been able to get somewhere between 1/2 to 3/4's of a level every day. I could be doing more but right now there's work to be done and I can't spend all day quest. Well....techinically I could....but that could have very bad results. Anyway it's time to take a break. Good thing Kainda and I found a hot tub to relax in.

Fire pretty

Hey everybody! Mio here, right now I feel bad for Snowball cause his paws are killing him. We've been running all over Dragonblight trying to get things done. Now I've never really leveled in a conventional manner. I only spend the minimum amount of time in an area before moving on. Usually I'll go to several different areas just to get a change in scenery. I was out of Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord shortly after I hit 71, everything just seemed too easy. Anyway I'm most of the way through 72 and can't wait until 73. I'm gonna try to head to Sholozar Basin at that point and try and do those quests. I mean I was able to take down a 76 rhino at 71 so it shouldn't be too hard at 73. Anyway at this point I'm just trying to finish up the last few quests I have in Dragonblight, they've been fun though. I mean who doesn't love setting a ship on fire.Nothing quiet like a canvas and wood fire to warm you on those chilly mornings.

Northrend here we come!

Hey, it's me, Mal. I can't believe the zeppelins to Northrend are finally open! Mio and I jumped on them as soon as we could this past Wednesday night. I'm surprised they were open that late, but they must have been expecting the rush. I even snuck over there between classes on Thursday. And wow, Howling Fjord is beautiful! Borean Tundra is okay, but it doesn't stack up to Howling.

Late Thursday night, I got together with Mio, Leet, Aero, and a tank we found over the local wires, to check out the local Northrend dungeons. First, we went to Utgarde Keep to fight the dragonmasters. We fought a Romeo and Juliet couple similar to the couple in Kara (or so I hear - I never made it to Kara before leaving for Northrend!) where we had to fight one of them until he was halfway dead, then move on to the other, making sure we killed the two of them at the same time. We got them on the first try, and look at the awesome fist weapon I got from them! I was proud to sport it around Howling Fjord later.


We did fine through the rest of UK, then got our asses handed to us by their leader, Ingvar. It took only two shots for him to incapacitate me, then I watched in pain as my friends finally took him down. Then, much to our surprise, he returned! Only this time, he was a ghastly undead creature who cast a curse on my friends. Every time Leet tried to heal someone with the curse on them, he took more damage himself, until the whole group wiped. We anxiously asked around to see if we could find more information on this Ingvar guy before he killed us for good. With some more tricks up our sleeves and after several more tries, we finally took him down, but it wasn't easy!

After heading back to town to repair our badly damaged armor, we headed to the Nexus. The Nexus is a beautiful blue ice dungeon full of crystal trees and dragonkin. We had a real hard time against the powerful mage who split into three halfway through the fight, but the real challenge came when the big boss dragon broke out of his ice prison. The room where we fought him was so cold that if we stood still for even a few seconds, we started to drop. We didn't kill him right away (it did take a few tries), but we finally conquered him in the wee small hours of the morning.

I'm enjoying playing around in Borean Tundra, clearing out the undead spider invasion and other pests, and I'm hoping to spend some more time in Howling Fjord as well. It's a challenge to stay alive in some parts of this exciting new land, but I can do it! I've already replaced several pieces of gear, and it's nice to know that I'll be on a more even playing field with the people who were at my level for years. They may hate it, but I love it!

I never wanted this...

This isn't what I wanted. Pulled from my family and peaceful life to join his ranks. But I their I awoke, water thrown at my face, the cold dead eyes watching me. There on the ground, I was being judged, for my worthiness. Tears felt, hot tears, and they burned my open wounds. At that point all I knew was hate. My life had been torn away, leaving a hollow shell, full of nothing but desire for revenge. It was that that they sensed, and I was chosen. Forced into armor and thrown at the feet of the Lich King himself, I could only stare, and my will was barely my own. I was called to serve and I answered, for it was that or death. So there I followed his commands and those of others, forging my own blade, which I then was forced to use to kill one that was unworthy. His blood was pooled around my hooves and dripping from my blade, and it felt good.

It was then had to obtain my mount, as dark a thing as everything else in that place. At least what I had to kill wasn't alive. That first day there was much blood spilled, the ground was mud beneath my hooves from all the blood that was being spilled, guards and innocents alike. The peasants begged for the lives of their families but none listened, myself included, I had my own family to fight for. The lucky ones were spared the blade and became zombies, mindless things that would feel little pain.
I was starting to feel myself slip away. All that kept me grounded was a small frost wyrm that I had found during the slaughter. He had been lying next to an abandoned mail box, frightened and alone. Frosty was my last link to my formal self. With him beside me the Lich King could not have all of me. Much more blood was on my hands that day, including that of a friend, tears flowed from my eyes once more that day as I plunged my sword through his chest, to save us both. I went back to Arthas for more orders.I was to take a Frost Wyrm and kill over 100 men. What parts of my soul that had remained were slowly being destroyed, I barely had to thinks about whether or not I would take on this task. Once again it was the thought of my family and Frosty that pulled me through. After the slaughter Arthas presented me with the Helm of the Death Knights and I was sent to perform what had to be one of the most heinous acts, destroying Lights Hope Chapel. By this point I was almost to far gone to care. I mounted up and headed over the to commander in charge of the assault and prepared to destroy this holy place. It was in our loss that I found my salvation. I took arms against the infestation in Ebon Hold, with the Might of Morgraine behind me there was nothing I couldn't do.
Once the area was cleared, I realized what had become of me. I was inches away from losing my soul with innocent lives on my hands that nothing could ever erase. There was nothing I could do except seek forgiveness from the Warchief and pray he would except me and my newly released people into his ranks. Entering Org I was spat upon and had food thrown at me, but still I walked as proudly as I could, kneeled before Thrall and asked for forgiveness. It was granted. I pledged my devotion to him and headed towards the black gate, for in Outlands was where I could do the most good.
I stepped through the gate with hopes of a salvation, to cleanse myself of my wrongs. To find my cousin who had passed this way before me, to clear the road for my brother who will soon follow. I am not proud of my past, but I shall be proud of who I will become. I am Uzumati and I am a Knight of Ebon Blade.

Drenden is WHAT?!

Ok so I have only ever seen Drenden full once before ever. And that was only for 30 seconds. I logged on earlier today, no issues what so ever. And now this! I can't say I'm surprised, but still! I've seen the time jump from 9 minutes to 35 minute wait. Ugh....I have other things to do soon, all I know is I am not logging out this weekend at all....ever...I will sleep with the game up! This is ridiculous...

Northrend baby BOOYA!!

Ok so this is gonna be a very short post but I'm in Northrend baby!!! Spent a little time in Howling Fjord but then moved on to Borean Tundra to get my worm. This dude here is a flight master!! Why isn't my post very articuate? Because I spent the last 10 minutes before having to leave to run and grab my worm so I didn't notice the names of things. Fortunately Aero and Leet were with me and helped keep crap off me while I tamed him. There will be more pictures later but as I've actually been able to explore and quest for maybe 2 hours there isn't much to report. There will probably be small post over the next few days followed by a large one early next week.

The night of raids

Greetings one and all, Mio once again. Sorry I've been slacking off a bit but RL things have gotten in the way but now I'm in the clear for a while. Except that I'll be taking a break for the weekend so I'll make sure Mal throws something on here to keep you all entertained. Anyway, Leather and Lace, the guild Mal and I run, is a VERY small guild. There are less then 10 of us who active, so it's very difficult for a hunter like me to find a PUG for a raid other then Kara. I was lucky enough the other night to be able to get into a group to that wanted to take down Gruul. I was all for this as I need better gear so I don't have replace stuff once I get to Northrend and it's easier for me to survive. Anyway, this is another time when vent is very useful. I beileve anything over a 5 person group needs to be able to communicate quickly, and talking works so much better.

Anyway we clear the first room fairly easily, well, about half of us died but it was easy for me because I kept misdirecting onto the tank and feigning death when needed. Haha sometimes it's REALLY good being a hunter. Anyway, once the first big boy drops it turns out he has 3 of the same T4 shoulders on him that I could use! Fortunately I got the second highest roll so I got a pair! I'm trying to build a PvE set for Northrend. Yeah yeah, I know I'm going to have to replace a lot of it soon, but it'll be a few levels so I still think it's good. Anyway Gruul goes down fairly easily as well, this is when I'm glad I'm ranged so I don't have to be in melee range off his ticked off butt. I don't get anything off the second roll but that's fine cause I'm happy with my shoulders. I thought we were done, but most of us want to go do Mags, I'm super excited, two raids I've never done before in one night!Wow that guy was ugly, it's nice to finally be able to try to take him down though. So annoying, all that yelling I can hear him from Blood Furnace. Anyway, no one there knew how to click properly so I volunteered. I decided to sacrifice my DPS and damage for the team, which is hard for me to do since I'm trying to build a reputation as a good hunter here darn it. Anyway I took my position in that back and had to stare at Mags butt the entire time, lovely....Well we wiped the first time and about 4 or 5 people bailed, I guess they just expected epics to fall from the sky with no work. It takes us about 10 minutes to fill the spaces since I think it was mostly DPS that left. I took up position again right behind Mags again and this time everything went well. We were clicking masters! Personally I just think it's kind of weird that Mags is being held in place by Rubicks cubes, but hey, whatever works. I don't think we lost too many people and there was a drop I could have used but didn't get. I was just relly happy I got not one run in but two! Anyway I think that's all for the next day or two. I'm trying to get everything done in my life by Wednesday at midnight so I ca spend most of my time in Northrend and reporting to you guys, feel loved.

Miorbhuil the Hallowed, I likes the sound of that.

WOO!!!! Anyway, as you can probably guess, it's Mio. So the PTB's (powers that be), decided to fix a few things so I could get the title I really wanted. Before you would have to get lots and lots of masks from trick or treating, I was bothering the innkeepers so much they started shooing me away. Even after bothering them so much I only got 11 of the 20 masks, and many people thought that wasn't fair and apparently the PTB's agreed and fixed it. I worked on it from the first day of Hallow's End, and now I'm really excited to have it. This is probably gonna be the title I keep on for most of the time. Anyway, sorry for the short report but I is a busy cow this weekend and this is all I can muster.

I'm a big kid now...

Well, I did it. I finally hit 70!

I started off last night with only 3 1/2 bars left in 69, so we got a group together to make our way through Shadow Labyrinth and see if we could get me those last few bars of experience.
We ran it with me, Mio, Leet, our new friend Aero, and a pally tank I grouped with to take down the Headless Horseman last week. The pally had that annoying tendency to pull before making sure everyone was ready (a healer doesn't need mana, right?) but I finally made it to right...about...here:


Then we took down two more mobs, and DING!!!! I hearthed back to Shattrath City to change into my much-anticipated level 70 gear and pick up the sword I took from the Headless Horseman. I couldn't help but take some before and after pictures:

Mal at 70

Slight difference, eh?







Finally, a week before the expansion comes out, I finally hit the (soon to be defunct) level cap. At least I'll get a small taste of it before I have to start leveling again.

Oh, did I mention we beat the big boss in Shadow Labs?

It's not a wipe if the hunter survives, right? Feign Death = /cheat.
