Occasionally I have a full WoW day on the weekend. This Sunday was one of them. I was going to live blog it or something but since I am unsure of what that means I will just go through this day. Leaving out most of the AFK times.

Sunday, April 13, 2008

Wake up and do real life stuff.

10:10 Make food with Husband. We talk about WoW raiding and PvP. He tells me definitively “No, I don’t want a raid icon over my head.” Phooey.

11:15 I log into Hydra.

11:25 Look for in guild anyone that has Cat’s Swiftness. Got someone. Still need 5 X Primal Air to get the enchant. I don’t feel like farming the Airs or have the time right now. I buy them out at 28G a piece, which is 143% higher then pre 2.4 cost. Icky but what else am I to do with my gold. Aurum got her enchant from Nuk the Mage.

12:05 I am five minutes late! Server it is 14:05 and the fishing tournament has started. I am at Booty Bay to escort my two charges, two 19 twinks, Wizzy and Diem (Husband). They start fishing and I start killing.

12:23 Nuk the Mage wins the tournament! Congrats! He picks up the Arcanite Fishing Pole. And has a revelation to share with the guild.

12:45 A friend who was escorting two other twinks loots the Cold Basilisk Eye. It is the lowest level trinket you can get without being an Engineer or doing PvP. We are always on the look out for it.

13:15 The Green Tower drops from some random basilisk. Woot! BoE purple drop! This is why you loot all shinnies people! I have never had something like this drop. It must be because you are here with me.

14:00 Fishing tournament ends. Boooo. Nothing! *shrug* Well there is always next week.

14:10 Hop onto the realm Torth horde side to start conversations between FE and WKP for when the 10 vs 10 will start. Calm the Vent people are yelling “There is no Rum in the bank!!” the lushes.

14:20 Aurum mail is full and SOMEWHERE in the pages and pages of mail are stacks of Rumsey Rum Black Label. FE is out and Hydra sent three mail-fulls to Aurum…

Digging through mail. Posting stuff in AH, deleting Marks of Honor, DE low level items, and sending items to other players. Finally find the Rum!! Stick over 40 stacks into the FE guild bank. Pfft. That should shut them up.

I squeezed in a 3v3 against some other FE members. (Welcome Foeh! Last un-FE hold out.)

15:04 I receive a whisper for The Green Tower they want to give me 150G. Click to see who it is. Eek. They are from WM. I ask them what they are doing with it. Going to put it on their Pally. I pull it off from the AH totally knowing I could have gotten the 250G that I put it up for and sell it to them. I know it is a guildie and all that. BUT IT WAS PURPLE!! And I didn’t haggle. That is what they got out of the deal.

15:24 Call from WKP they are delaying the 10 vs 10 even further. At this point I already replaced myself cause I had a raid tonight. FE agrees cause they just want this done.

15:26 I log out to do real life stuff. Mostly to eat, bug Husband, and make sure dishes in sink don’t start to grow anything.

16:10 Log back in on Hydra and start Isle quests. I can get those done in the hour before raid time.

16:40 Get told that WKP never made it. Now there is forum smack talk because they finally got there team together three hours late. This is why I didn’t want to be involved in the first place. Well if I have any more say FE is done with the idea of a 10 vs 10 with WKP. They are on our time now.

17:22 Head back to Shatt, swing by the bank for consumables and repair.

17:30 I update yet again the newest version of Omen. Which since 2.4 has been a necessity before every single raid.

17:33 I’m invited to raid. This is going to be a guild tryouts run. WM has been running new applicants through Kara to see how everyone works together. I am hopping that we can do Shade but I don’t count on it.

We down Moroes, Maiden, Opera (OZ, no my hat didn’t drop. /cry), Curator, Nightbane, Illhoof and Prince. This Illhoof was the first time I lock tanked the Imps. The Lightning Capacitor dropped and I picked up for the shear fun factor.

21:17 Raid end.

21:26 For a while now I was getting called to a different raid…One on Orgrimmar. This was a close friend’s farewell raid. He was leaving for Army boot camp.

They had already started so I hop onto Iridium to meet them there.

Well … you do know what her purpose is? Well I flagged up PvP and it took no time for my first death.

I hoped on Hydra after a while and helped guide the Alliance to Under City. Apparently Iridium’s notes to Hydra are well known. So I guide 40 Alliance into UC to wreck general havoc.

We then went to Duskwood to play with Emeriss.

EVIL CHECK: We summoned a level 27 looking for help with a quest in general chat right into the middle of the raid.

OKAY.

I SUMMONED her.

No hesitation.

It was funny.

00:11 We wipe. As someone said in raid chat “Still more fun then AB.”

Don’t fret. Three of us helped the level 27 with the quest and a blue BoE dropped. I told her to sell it for 15G in AH. “WoW that is a lot of gold!” It will pay for the trouble we cause her. She was really cool about it all. Thought we were nice to help her out. Guess she forgot who summoned her. *grin* See I still get to keep my Alliance card… almost evil.

01:22 We couldn’t have given my good friend a more perfect send off. The long tearful goodbyes started. Lots of chatting… He will be missed.

And then I passed out.

…

BTW… this is atypical. I didn’t do dailies Monday and logged on just at raid time and then logged off after. WoW in moderation people.

Pfft

Who am I kidding.

“Greetings my name is Kat. And I am a WoW addict.”

So I am thinking that it must be a warlock thing…this being EEEEE-ville. On my first raid outing with guild… what do warlocks do while waiting? Put up a fake “Click for cookies” say and summon a Doomguard.

That made me laugh… particularly when it was the summoning warlock that was sacrificed. *giggle*

What really endeared me to my new warlock guildies was something more mundane than that summoning. It was doing dailies out in Skettis.

I was hanging out after the Mag’s Lair run with the other locks. I invited the others to head over with me to Skettis to do the dailies. Well… truth… that is where I was heading and if they wanted to come they were welcomed.

So then there was three.

Well I find the hardest part of the Skettis Escort quest is to find the guy. Lucky day! Someone found him quickly at the southern spawn point. Just as I reached the spot waiting on the third to land… a Human warrior ninja the escort quest! Now I was in shock. In all the time of doing this escort I have had Horde do it… full groups do it… but one guy? Never. So I took flight to camp another spot.

Without skipping a beat the other two locks AGRO everything!

I mean the birds in the sky, the mobs on the ground, even the yellow-you-don’t-have-to-kill-me-birds. Pulling all of them to the warrior …then they died. Dumping all the agro on the quest ninja.

I watched in shock and awe. Hovering.

But he wasn’t dead yet.

I agro a Monstrous Kaliri and flew it right down to our ninja.

Dead quest ninja.

This was warlock bonding at its finest.

But evil? I mean he was a quest ninja. Maybe it was a teenssy weency evil.

We did redeem ourselves enough to keep our Alliance membership. The Lock instigator offered to help the guy with the quest and the ninja refused… so the lock helped anyway. I do think he tagged all the mobs for the loot though. *giggle*

So during my quest to accumulate 5,000 gold for my epic flyer there MUST be some farming evolved. Husband kept to his word, to help me accumulate the 5,000 gold. This is between half a dozen Shadow Lab runs, PvP, and other distractions.

But I hurt…

Without Banish while farming I am lost…

I have avoided the Elemental Plateau since the tragedy.

I would sit hovering over the area… watching others farm and be really sad.

/cry

/wipe tear

It was so bad that I actually ran out of Primal Fire… I mean NOTHING… farmed up enough motes to make one for my Shadowcloth… then empty bank.

My heart was ripped out to shreds…

I just couldn’t farm and chat up with friends anymore with the passion I once had. I would go on a run and end up with 7-10 Primals… in Water, Fire, and Air. Stocking up where I was the lowest at.

/sigh

But it is a new world and I must move on without my evil precious banishing. I guess the powers that be wanted to keep others from using it for evil purposes in check (What? I was told I could and keep my Alliance membership card. You will have to FIND it on my persons if you really want it back.)

I headed over there… I know the route well.

I immediately fish out about 2 stacks of Mote of Water… that is cool.

Then head over to the busy fire area… which was cleared out when I did my fly by. They respawned while fishing and I look to be alone. So I develop a rhythm.

Take on three… having trouble with four… okay I am rusty for sure.

And then I see him… a Troll Mage…

The Troll proceeds to Ice Lance about 9 elementals… tagging them…

/sigh

The Troll does the whole freeze trap thing yada yada yada…

I am annoyed…

But you know … confusion is fun… noticed my soulstone has four minutes left and really … I don’t want to waste it.

So I run in the middle of his frozen elementals and once they break free I Howl of Terror them all across the Plateau. I rather die then help the Troll farm. I watch him run around and I laugh.

As I retold this to one of the Guild Mages… he put is succinctly for me…

Bastard.

/grins

I ended my farming run with a very short stack of Primals but it was good to get back up there.

I was asked what upgrades I want by my minions guildmates.

/shrug I don’t know.

I mean most of my stuff is crafted. Been wearing the same pieces for months. Proud of them. If something dropped that I maybe able to use it was a pleasant surprise. And it becomes mine.

I was excited that my unbuffed spell damage became over 500 finally after replacing my necklace. That was an unexpected drop that replaced my quest item.

I tend to just go where I am told.

[G] we are going to kill boss X for loot A. lets go.

And I bound my way there. Kill after farming kill.

When I decided that the Headless Horseman was going to give me his hat for My Tank. The Horseman's Helm was mine (well hers). Only time was our limit to get it more often.

When my Healadin changed from Tankadin to Healadin… The Mask of Penance was farmed off Mekgineer Steamrigger.

What is going on now?

Four manning Shadow Lads …12 gazillion times to make Ambassador Hellmaw drop the Platinum Shield of the Valorous.

GIVE IT UP ALREADY.

*clears throat*

Well this is all for them. And I love it. Now I am noticing that everyone’s gear is catching up with my craftables. So I need to start doing some research.

But being the lazy one that I sometimes am, I talk to my Warlock “friends”. (because seriously can a Warlock be your friend. I mean they suck souls out for the enjoyment.)

[R] are you Kara attuned?

[Me] lol… silly man. That would be No.

[R] Gotta get on that I got [Wicked Witch's Hat]  [Staff of Infinite Mysteries] both from there

Boo…Boo… hiss. *Kicks. Throws a tantrum*

Not helpful. I so want that Hat!

Okay lets try this again.

[B] this [Gladiator's Felweave Cowl]

[Me] meanie! That is PvP.

Hydra doesn’t DO PvP. I mean … even for a really cool hat… even ones with psychedelic swirls.

And… AND… as B pointed out.

The black swirls hit the floor on me!

Pfft…Nothing replaces your own research and understanding. Guess I gotta figure this out myself.

What did I learn…

Don’t ask Warlocks for anything they are mean and evil… and … well it was like talking to me. =P

Okay … it is more like a list:

1.       Evil 

All you naysayers who think I am “cute and funny”. I just want to show you that there are some that really understand me.  

Our Healidin discovered Golden Fish Sticks. Well he didn’t really discover them; it was more that I gave him some. I read on Ego Priest, Consumables for Healers, they are fishable and I was … well watching Nascar. (At this point I want Jimmie to win because he is my birthday twin but I still /cheer for my Tony.)

[Me] Would you be interested in [Golden Fish Stick]?

[Healidin] Yes. Where did you get those?

[Me] I fished them out of a pond.

[Tank] You can fish out fish sticks? How does that work.

/laugh

[Healidin] They come out of the pond all breaded.

[Me] I fish the fish and then cook them into fish sticks.

Later…

[Healidin] Do you know how much [Golden Fish Stick] go for in the AH? 30G a stack!

[Healidin] What do I need to do to have you get more of those for me?

[Me] …

[Healidin] Well?

[Me] Thinking about what I want you to do.

/diabolical laughter

That fishing skill still at 100? And Motes of Water were not good enough to encourage you to level the skill? Get your Healer hooked on Golden Fish Sticks and you won’t have to “LFM need Healer.”

My army of minions is growing!

/diabolical laughter fades

Evil Check Time!

Do I string Healidin out with his new addiction to fish sticks? He got the first two stacks for free. Feeding him 2-6 at a time and then…WHAM! Let out the big favor. Like multiple runs through Gnomeregan! He loathes that place.

/sigh

Sounds like I am pusher of healie goodies. I think that will be bad healer karma. So I will keep half for my healers (with no subtext) and sell the rest to other healers.

I think I am going to need more Aquadynamic Fish Attractors.

Hydra’s continuing quest to figure out what Alliance deems evil. This is for purely selfish reasons like not having to turn in her Alliance guild card.

Question 1: Is banishing an elemental while farming to hold it for you till you finish killing another one evil?

*consult guildies*

Answer 1: I don’t think so … there are plenty to go around. But it does hit a gray fringe. I have the suspecting feeling that I am being frond upon. /grumble about no fun

 

Question 2: Is banishing an elemental while an annoying mage rides in and tags your kill evil?

*consult guildies *

Answer 2: This is a apparently a gray area. The same “One” mage did this twice. I opted to fish for Motes of Water in Pure Water pools. I wanted to be killing fire elementals. /pout

 

Question 3: Is banishing an elemental while Horde is trying to kill it evil?

*consult guildies *

Answer 3: It was a resounding “LOL” all around. This is good to know. When the mood strikes, I think it is my duty to banish elementals while Horde is farming in MY area.

 

I was checking because the other day a Tauren hunter tagged my elemental. So I proceeded to let him bring it down about half way and then BANISH. /giggle

I was laughing so hard watching him waste his ammo elementals respawned on me. Nice! You have to send more then 3 lvl 70 elementals at this warlock to kill her. He did me a favor of not having to go to them. BANISH. /giggle

Good times.  

Last weekend I met a very nice 64 Tauren in Halaa in the morning. I killed him. Then left.

I again met a very nice 64 Tauren in Halaa in the afternoon. I killed him. Then left.

[Guild][Me]: I think I just killed the same 64 Tauren from this morning.

[Guild][guildie1]: mean.

[Snazzy Dresser] comes online.

[Guild][guildie2]: lol

[Snazzy Dresser] wsp: I would like 3 Tuxes what are the mats?

To [Snazzy Dresser]: wait let me link.

To [Snazzy Dresser]: [tux pieces link]

To [Snazzy Dresser]: I have dresses too … [links]

To [Snazzy Dresser]: Oh some very nice shirts … [links]

To [Snazzy Dresser]: I am actually partial to the orange ones. Look very nice with the tux pants.

[Snazzy Dresser] wsp: they are all lovely you temptress. But I only have so much bag space.

[Guild][Me]: WAIT… did you just call me mean??

[Snazzy Dresser] wsp: so for now, just the 3 tux’s please.

To [Snazzy Dresser]: K.

[Guild][guildie1]: Uh…no.

[Guild][guildie1]: Cannot prove that I did.

[Guild][guildie3]: Liar. Liar. Pants on fire!

What I learned from this conversation:

1) I was upgraded from aggressive/evil to mean. Excellent!

2) I know that everyone in this conversation is over 30 and it included “Liar. Liar. Pants on fire!” you can just see where all our other conversations go.

3) This is a demonstration on why Mageweave cloth sometimes go for more in AH then Runecloth on Farstriders.

4) I have screen shots. The next time someone says I am not very nice, I can prove that I am mean.

Question: Is threatening your spouse that you will go in and level their 19 twink into level twenty evil? I didn’t do it! I am just asking.

*looks in dictionary*

The definition of “threaten” is “to indicate impending evil”. I’m not evil, I am just speced that way.*

/sigh

I guess I have to figure out some other way to get him to take out the trash.

 

*Jessica Rabbit is a rogue btw. She can make most men immobile for minutes. This blog taught me something. I didn’t know Jessica was a former porn comic character in the book.
