Working It With Sairalinde |
Monday, December 8, 2008 |
Ki'Leana is finally leveling her Enchanting. I bit the bullet and took the time to get her skill up some more. It was hard for two reasons. One was that I like questing in Northrend. I didn't want to stop questing. lol Two was that it cost me a lot of gold to level Enchanting.
A lot!
I needed to get Ki's skill to 325 in order to disenchant the drops and quest rewards she was getting in Northrend. She had 3.5 full bags of stuff clogging up her bank that was BOP. So I had to get her from level 275 to 325 in order to DE that stuff. Unfortunately the mats required for that nasty stretch are scarce. Figures. The main mat needed is Greater Eternal Essence and it almost exclusively comes from disenchanting weapons level 51-54. The rarity of it and the rarity of those weapons on the AH made the price of buying it just silly. No less than 15 gold each was the best I could find.
Ki'Leana did have some stashed, naturally. But not near enough to get the levels she needed. All in all, I spent about 1200 gold getting to 325 Enchanting. I read on Thottbot that you eventually recoup most of your money with high level enchants but I'm feelin a bit doubtful. Now Ki is broke again. Almost no gold at all. :( I have to make some nice profits now if I am going to get her the flying mount and training in Northrend available at level 77. I'm feeling like that won't happen now until she is 80.
All that kind of bummed me a little so I logged off Ki'Leana for a while.
I've spent the majority of my free time since with Sairalinde. I had been told that quests are available in Northrend after level 68. Saira was just barely over the 67 mark. So I started the quests in Nagrand hoping to get her to 68 asap. Like a dummy I didn't think clearly right away and I did the first 3 Nesingwary quests before training Sairalinde for higher Skinning. (Those quests are all about killing animals and are great for leveling Skinning.) Once I realized how much leveling I was missing I left Nagrand for a bit and went to The Grand Master Skinning Trainer at Valgarde in Northrend. Then I came back and finished up all the hunting quests, leveling Saira's Skinning by 40 levels at the same time. That didn't get her level to 68 though so I did a bunch of other quests, about 10-12 and when I turned them in she was almost 68.
Then someone started asking me for help with The Ring of Blood. I knew it was a good thing to do for rep. and gold so I agreed to do it. The group consisted of 2 65 Death Knights, a 67 Shaman, a 68 Priest and Sairalinde. We started the trials and easily got through the first couple. Brokentoe, Rokdar, Skra'gath and The Blue Brothers were all easy to beat. Then came the Warmaul Champion. We did manage to kill him but for some reason Sairalinde didn't get the credit for it. We decided to do the last challenge, the Mogor guy, and then come back to do the Champion for Sairalinde. This is where it all unraveled a bit.
For some reason one of the Death Knights went AFK at the start of the fight. That was not good. The 4 of us remaining killed Mogor the first time, but as everyone knows, when he rezzes himself, he is tougher to kill. He rezzed and came back and somehow wiped us up. We waited for the afk DK to come back but he/she never did. We tried to kill Mogor 3 more times but we couldn't do it with the 4 of us. Then the Priest left us. I thought we were done but that wasn't it yet. :)
A group of Hordies came by to do the same trials. They only had 4 in their group. So the guy who set up our group somehow talked with them and they agreed to help us if we helped them. Suddenly we had a group of 7. Nice. We took turns alternating between us and them for the next fight in the ring. We managed to kill all the bad guys easily having 7 fighters. During that last stretch Saira leveled to 68. Yay! Then I said my thank yous and goodbyes and headed to Northrend. :)
While traveling I dropped all the quests for Outland I wasn't planning on doing. I kept the elite Nesingwary ones and the Durn one. I like doing those. I though that Sairalinde would get to 70 very fast and then I'd come back to Nagrand to finish up those fun ones. Otherwise, I dumped her entire quest log.
Sairalinde arrived in Northrend at Valiance Keep Sunday evening. For some weird reason I was so excited. I know, it's just a game, but I was happy to have Sairalinde in the new area ready for quests. I took the first quests which is simply one where you are to Meet with General Arlos inside the barracks. When I accepted it and didn't have to wait in the line of new recruits, one of them said to Saira, "What's wrong Hunter? You are too good to wait in line like the rest of us?" (Or something very close to that.) I stopped and answered him that yes, I was too good to wait. Then I laughed and ran into the Keep. More silliness, yes. But those things make me smile. Hee hee. :P
Sairalinde did several quests that evening. She leveled to 69 really fast too. She has the advantage of having Pallanen figure everything out first. I run Pallanen through all the new areas and after that Sairalinde can do the quests in the best order. Thats what happened Sunday evening. Sairalinde did the quests that were local to the Keep right away. Then she did the ones at Farshire. Those are fun. Then she did the quests on the beach with thos eguys who put you in a fog when fighting them. After that it was late and I had to log off.
It was a very productive weekend for both Sairalinde and Ki'Leana. Moreso for Saira. I was a little disappointed in the quest rewards though. The only good reward/drop so far for Saira was a nice bow. It was a big upgrade on the one she had. The armor she has gotten so far isn't worth trading what she is wearing. The armor value is higher but most has a lot of spellpower buffs and intellect. I don't use those usually so I hope soon her armor is upgraded. We'll see. At any rate, Sairalinde will be busy for a few days. Upgrades are on the way. :) |

About Me: I started playing WoW after my best friend bugged me to play. I soon learned that I really liked it. Now 2 years later I still play and have 20 characters. LOL I am no gaming expert. I am no WoW expert. A lot of the terms and "how to do's" elude me still. But I love to play. All you will find here are the adventures of Pallanen and her sisters. I love them all and they really kick butt. So stay tuned and maybe we can learn stuff from each other that we never knew. xoxo
