| Leatherworking The Hard Way |
| Thursday, June 25, 2009 |
Sairalinde made it to level 80 a week ago Friday. Since then I have been running all over the WoW world trying to get her Leatherworking up to a decent level. Being level 80 and having a profession at level 250ish is just wrong. But there is something else people should know about this...... trying to backtrack and get all the LW stuff done isn't quite as easy as it would seem.
As a matter of fact, it is darn difficult.
Saira has been a 450 Skinner for a while now. So that means that her bank is stuffed full of Boren Leather and scraps. But as for the lower level stuff, she has had to go out and grind for the mats. She was at the Thick Leather level when I began. She had none of that. Next was the Rugged Leather which she had none of. I was going to just buy the mats on the AH to level but the prices have gotten so out of hand that there was no way I could. Sairalinde still isn't even close to being able to afford to fly so there is no way I will spend gold on LW mats.
That left me with no other recourse but to go out and kill things for mats.
Some of the grinding has been fun. I have been wiping out the Mazthoril Cave in Winterspring over and over for Rugged Leather. The Dragonkin there are all elites but Saira (obviously) kills them fast. They drop some good stuff too. Sometimes she gets blue dragonscales which are pretty valuable these days. Sometimes she gets nice blue weapon drops.
She also keeps getting this one Tailoring pattern that is BOP. It is for a pretty nice cloth robe but being BOP it is useless to her. Sairalinde has gotten it 6-7 times in that cave. Too bad she can't give it to Merenwen. Mer would appreciate it. :)
Along the way trying to backtrack and get her LW skills leveled Sairalinde found a Hunter Quest she had never completed. It was to go into the Sunken Temple and kill Morphaz. So I researched the quest and found that the Dragonkin in ST also dropped Rugged Leather. It was a no-brainer to do that quest, do some skinning and get the achievement for Sunken Temple. Sairaline accomplished all that pretty easily.
So now Sairalinde is a 330 Leatherworker. She needs 20 more levels to get to the high level stuff she has stashed in her bank. Unfortunately there are no easy patterns for the 330-350 levels. Most involve one color dragonscale or another along with primals. Some require fel cloth also. None of these things does Saira have. Pallanen had some but they are already used up. And those darn black dragonscales have the worst drop rate ever! Sheesh. I must have killed everything in the Burning Steppes twice for 2 black dragonscales. Thottbot warns that the drop rate sucks but that is ridiculous.
So I am taking a few days off the mats grinding just for peace of mind. Soon I'll get back to it and get Sairalinde leveled up. Otherwise I have been working the quests with Granuaile and Eville just for variety. But soon Saira will have the best of what she can make and things will be OK.
Until they make another expansion and everything goes askew again. :PLabels: Sairalinde |

| Sairalinde Is Getting Close |
| Monday, June 15, 2009 |
I have been trying to get Sairalinde to level 80 lately. It's been fun to play her a lot. I've mentioned before how I am always pleasantly surprised that when I play Saira how much I like her. It makes a person wonder why she still isn't 80, huh? lol
A few weeks ago I decided that Sairalinde would be my new main. I really wanted her to be maxed out and then I plan on maxing out her Leatherworking. Having her as high as she is and still having her skill in LW stuck below 300 is sad.
I started off having Sairalinde do all the Borean Tundra quests. She did them all (except the instance ones of course lol) and got that achievement. Then I had her finish up all the Howling Fjord quests and get that achievement (again, minus the instance quests). Next Sairalinde completed everything in Dragonblight and the Grizzly Hills, got those achievements and moved on to Zul'Drak. That's where she is working now, 7 bars from level 79.
Questing with a Hunter has been fun. Having a partner to help with everything almost seems like cheating. Elendil (her cat) is a toughie and is very hard to hurt. He deals a lot of damage too so wiping out bad guys (and bad things lol) isn't too hard. Sometimes even if they are elites. I expect to have Sairalinde to level 80 by the end of next week. Hopefully. Then I have to backtrack and find out how to get the quests and all that to level her Leatherworking. That might be a pain.
Then comes the next in line to level 80. I am tempted to level Miriel next. Only because a Death Knight is a lot of fun. But my feelings are that Merenwen will be the next one. I want her to be able to port anywhere. I also want her Enchanting maxed out. Now that I can send enchants via scrolls to any of my girls Enchanting has become an even better profession.
Otherwise I have been doing some fun stuff with Pallanen. Pally did do a lot of the Hellfire stuff she had never completed. Even Ramparts. I was planning on doing Ramps solo when I saw a group needed a DPS so I asked if I could go along. They were all low 60's and were glad to have Pally along. We did it fairly easily and then I ran the Warrior in the group through again just for fun.
Pallanen also completed the instance just outside of Star's Rest (whatever it is called). The one with all the bugs in it. Last night she went through the War Quarter of Naxx and got the achievement on Heroic mode for that, snagging a nice belt along the way.
So my big girls have been busy. I will keep Raiding Naxx in between leveling Sairalinde. Life in WoW has been pretty OK for me and my girls lately. :)Labels: Sairalinde |

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
