4 down 1 to go

Hey there everyone, as you should know by now I've been working my butt off getting exalted with all the major cities. Today I got Undercity finished off, I am VERY happy about that. Now I just need to go take, oh 5 or 10 baths to get that rotting smell off of me. Kainda has been the most trouble trying to keep clean, at least she's well trained. The last city is Silvermoon, I have to admit though, as small as those Belfs are though they are kind of frightning. I always feel like they're going to pull my soul out by my nose.

Also I was able to get a great pug for the Vault of Archavon. It was a group of 25 of us including some well known names. There were 2 other hunters which always makes me a little nervous. I work hard to be the best hunter I can but it's difficult to get into enough raids to make sure I get the best gear so when I get into raids I'm praying to the Earth Mother, Elune, anyone who will listen for a drop for me. Fortunately someone was smiling on me today because I got this beautiful chest. Now I just have to give Sparkos or Mal the big sad eyes to cut me some pretty gems for it. Anyway time to go take another bath. I swear I'm never gonna get that rotting smell off....

Elders and Exalted

With the start of another holiday comes many great oppritunities. The lunar fesitval is quickly becoming my new favorite holiday for one reason alone, reputation. That's right, reputation. Every time you honor an elder you gain 75 reputation with all horde factions. This has finally gotten me exalted with the Darkspear Trolls and the first thing I did was buy every raptor available. Ain't he perty? Anyway now I'm going to work on Undercity next. The odd thing is I'm not even exalted with Thunder Bluff but that is gonna happen soon anyway so I don't even have to work at that. Anyway time to ride this baby into the wild blue yonder to finish honoring my elders.

All heroics, all the time


Hello again, it's me, Malrey. I've been going crazy with the heroics lately, so much so that I've been neglecting, well, everything else. Today I even managed to get myself into my first Obsidian Sanctum run, and awesome rogue (plus other classes, but who cares) gauntlets dropped. I closed my eyes, rolled, and what did I get? 100, baby! I rolled 100 for my first piece of purple gear! HELL YEAH!!! Here's what I got when I traded them in.
Aren't they gorgeous?

Just a little proof that I actually did OS, since it was my very first time:

That's the boss that dropped my gloves. Thanks, big ol' dragon!

After I got my new beautiful gloves, I realized I had 42 emblems of heroism, so I traded in my very last green for a beautiful purple belt - and I no longer feel completely ungeared! I'm now in all blues and two purples.


Soon after I hit 80, I did a long set of quest chains in Icecrown, where I got turned into a blue alien lady. What weird-looking people they are. Well, I was able to actually negotiate a truce between them and the Sons of Hodir - I've never seen such a battle between the sexes. Oh well, at least now they're starting to talk to each other again. I had to go to Thorim, the leader of the Sons of Hodir, and have his armor reforged so he could return to his people and lead him again. I certainly felt small when I stood in front of his throne at the top of an infinitely tall spire.


I was sitting around Dalaran one day, twiddling my thumbs and trying to sell some gems as usual, when I decided to go farm some thorium in Burning Steppes. Little did I know that it would lead to such an adventure. I ran into another rogue, who begged me to join him in running through Blackrock Depths, just to get the achievement. I refused the first three times he asked, but finally agreed to join him. It was actually surprisingly fun! When I ran through BRD as a level 60, I HATED it; but as a level 80, it was definitely a kick to be able to skip all the trash mobs and cut right to the chase. We kept getting lost, but we finally made it to the final boss, Emperor Dagran Thaurissan... and took him down in less than a minute! Just to gloat for a minute, we took turns posing in the emperor's throne.

Now, back to the heroics. I'm sick and tired of questing these days, so I'm ready to do just about anything else. Dailies? What are those?

Mio can ride a chicken!!

Things have changed in the world and most not necessarily for better or worse, they have changed for the random. Now, before, my big butt could only fit on a kodo or a wolf. As of today I could ride a chicken if I wanted!! Not that I really want to ride a chicken but I shall fill my stable with them once I'm allowed to buy them. First though, I am very close to be exalted with the Trolls, and I'm looking forward to getting those raptors. The aggravating part is that I did all the quests in Durotar and then Zul'jin, or whatever that place was in the Outland swamp, that would get me rep with them. Unfortunately the quests ran out, so I started up in Ashenvale which has been going well but takes a while for travel. I wish I could I could ride my flyers out here, damn no fly zones, flight paths are trying to create a monopoly, but that's beside the point. I ended up in one of my most hated places in the world, Black Fathoms Deep. Even with me being able to kill everything outside with one shot the dang turtle boss took five shots to kill plus Kimoni smacking on him. I don't care if he's a turtle, how thick is that shell anyway?

Now earlier in the day I realized that many of the instances I had run in my youth didn't count in my achievements, something about not having the right paperwork.... Anyway I ran rage fire chasm again and decided to run BFD to the end. That thing is LONG. All the way down and all the way back, now I have plenty of stamina but it was just exhausting. In Northrend many of the places out there have exits near the back, or at least a shortcut to the front, oh how I wish BFD had one of those. Oh well, least I never have to go in there again. Made me feel claustrophobic...

See through Hydra!

Hello everyone! This is a very interesting day for me as I've decided to try a new pet. Now I'm not one to try just any pet at a whim as I grow attached to the ones I have. I decided to let go of my puppy cause even though he was cute hes didn't really have his own niche anymore. This beauty though is gonna actually a fairly versatile pet. Instead of making him a straight up tanking pet I made him a PVP batlleground damage pet. Now, what does that mean to me. It means that he is spec'd to do as much damage as a tenacity pet can while mitigating lots of damage. He does 2,000 less damage per 20 seconds then Kainda (that's how I test my pets, every 20 seconds) but this is slightly flawed as it doesn't take bad attitude into account which makes him snap back at anything that attacks him. The big difference is that this guy survives longer. More armor, more stamina, and with blood of the rhino takes more healing. He won't be for arena which is what my wasp is for, but he's still good for out in the world as he is a multiple target tank, so he's gonna be the pet I use to running around while I wait for battlegrounds or for Wintergrasp. He's a cool dude but I don't have a name for him yet, come to think of it, I don't have a name for my wasp either.

One VERY eventful day

Hello everyone. This is about the time I would like to apologize for the erratic posts and even most of the ones that have gone up have been short. I think this post may make up for it. As the title says, yesterday was a very eventful day. I figured that since I will once again be bust very soon I may as well have a couple days of fun! So the day started with me running four heroics, COS, VH, HOL, UK and Normal Old Kingdom. Yesterday just also happened to be my lucky day. I got two drops that I really needed, the first was the Drake-Mounted Crossbow and the second were the Handgrips of the Savage Emissary. I was so happy I started jumping up and down. I think my hooves smashed a dent in the floor on violet hold. The funniest thing however that happened was in Halls of Lightning. Now if wasn't outright funny but I thought it was worth a photo. Our tank was a druid named Bearfur and he's a good tank that pulled his weight in damage as well. Now for anyone who doesn't know the last boss he has a move that charge it's target with static electricity. Now when he targeted Bearfur it just got funny. I think the picture says it all.

Now all the really random stuff happened later that night. I finally got into a Kara pug and was excited as I had been in before, plus I was doing good damage. We tried the second boss a couple times and things just sorta fell apart but it didn't really bother me much as there were a few of us who ported back to Dalaran and decided to hang out and chat. A couple of them were running laps around the city and I was messing around in the guild bank since Alyxandir was nice enough to donate a lot of money for us to buy a third tab. As I was sorting things out we start talking about ways to get into the ally side of town without getting ported out and stunned. We all run over and immediately start trying to run headlong down the corridor. We could make it most of the way through but we would get ported out and stunned. One of the guys then informed us we can fly around and land on the roof of their building which is exactly what we all did. Anyway we all fly around, one of us fall, another landed on the wrong building, and me and one other guys made it on. It's at this time that I'm really happy I have eagle eye which allows me to look into the distance so I aimed it at the ground and took a look around at what's behind the door.

Now I know some of the readers may be allys but I for one am not so I find this interesting and all I have to say our side of town is better then yours. Oh and for some reason at one point during the night a random Dranei came up and hugged me then ran around in circles around me so I decide to go find him once he run off and decide to have a naked dance party with him.

Then we brought out our exploding race cars and had fun playing with them for a while. After about 20 minutes I hugged him goodbye and then realized it was late enough or actually early enough to start the days cooking quest which was infused mushroom meatloaf. So I run down to the sewers to grab the mushrooms and find a random bottle on the ground. I don't know if it was the sheer exaustion because at that point I had been going for about 12 hours, or maybe it was just the rush from the rest of the night, or maybe it was a combination of both but I picked up the bottle and shoved it in my bag. After I delivered the meatloaf I was running back to the inn and remembered the bottle in my bag so I decided to drink it. And here's what happened.

Fortunately it only lasted for a few seconds since Dalaran is a no fly zone. That when I finally decided to head up to a free bed in the inn and go to sleep. Man I don't know how I was able to do all that but man it was fun.

L and L RFK run

Hello everyone, time for Caedmon to make another appearance. I know I haven't been around much but that's because I kinda sorta rang up a tab in the bar in lower city and have spent the last little while washing dishes. Anyway, the other lowbies and I from Leather and Lace decided to do an RFK run. We had another shaman with us in the beginning but he was a jerk and left part way through. We spent the rest of the time four manning it. I was the most experienced one there but we did incredibly well. It just took us a little longer to get through.

So we're most of the way through but we get turned around because Tonka, out tank, was trying to get to these guys behind a fence for a warrior quest. We take so long that bad guys start popping up again. We hadn't died at all the entire time but we end up snagging a group of mana draining pigs and we wipe. Anyway we decide to call it a night after that because we'd have to kill everything all over again. I didn't get anything good but everyone else did so I can't be too upset because them being better makes the group better. I hate that place, hopefully next time we do a run it will be Scarlet Monastery.
