| Of Level 70 And Guilds |
| Monday, December 3, 2007 |
I suck at updating this blog. lol
Pallanen made it to level 70 over two weeks ago and here I am just now updating. Oh well, at least I'm here. lol
She made it to 70 in Netherstorm, killing demons. Theres a noble storyline. hee hee Since then she has been working on her Blacksmithing and helping guildies. Pally has always helped guildies a lot. It's one of her favorite things to do. She has even helped guildies in Sairalinde's guild a lot. More recently since I have been playing Saira more.
Saira is now level 49 btw. She leveled 4 times in the past week. She got a new kitty, the white tiger King Bangalesh (sp?) and then I respecced her to 100% Beastmaster. Did that ever make a difference! It's like the kitty and the Hunter are one now and questing is a breeze. Saira's guild mates love that she is on a lot more now too. She has been helping them a lot plus she has volunteered Pally and Merenwen to help. The guild chief promoted Saira to Knight for all the help she has been giving. That was awesome!
Pallanen's guild has been kind of a bummer lately. Once Pally reached 70 the other high levels kept asking her to get keyed for Kara. So I told them definitely I wanted to do that. But in reality she has only been able to join a group once for the first key trip into Shadow Labs. Every other time there has been another group she has not been allowed into it for reasons I'm not sure are valid. The last 2 trips some of the guildies included personal friends over Pallanen. That kinda bugged me.
I know it's just a game and I understand that friends and family are more important than game friends/guildmates. But thats hard to take at times. Pally's guild is made up of a lot of family members. Sisters/Brothers/Sons/Daughters/Aunts & Uncles. Then there are friends of that family group. So I have never been offended about the whole exclusion thing. I'm used to it plus it makes sense to me anyway. I also understand that Pallanen hasn't been the group type anyway.
But the Kara thing makes me feel a little different. She now is Protection specced just to be prepared for doing Kara. Pally has been practicing with the Protection spec and the Defensive stance so she can tank well. I don't like it much but it is necessary for tanking. The one trip into Shadow Labs the tank we had wasn't even using the Defensive stance so I think Pally will be good at it soon. I have been doing all that just for the eventual Kara trip(s).
I guess I shouldn't have thin skin about it but if it continues that she can't be included I guess Pally will have to find another guild. When I sit and think about it I do realize that Pallanen has given a lot to the Guild. More than she has gotten. She has helped countless guildies with mats for their professions. Has helped so many with their quests it can't be counted. This past week she even outfitted a level 17 Guildie Warrior with a whole new set of armor and bought him a blue ax on the AH. He was pathetically under-geared for his level. Then that Warrior went into pvp and kicked ass. He let her know how well he did afterward too. That made me feel really good. But it cost Pally almost 15 gold getting that Warrior up to snuff.
With the exception of one trip into Zul'Farrik (sp?) and one level 70 Mage in the guild who is an awesome friend, the guild has not been helpful to Pallanen anyway. But my sense of loyalty has kept me going with it. She has been in the guild since she was level 35ish. Besides, it is just a game afterall. I don't really dwell on all that stuff. But lately I am feeling a little put-out about the Kara keying thing. Hopefully it's all just in my head (I am a little over-sensitive sometimes) and Pally won't need to change guilds to get to Kara. Sairalinde's guild would love if she came to them so there are options. :)
Well, this post didn't go the direction I expected it would. But thats the beauty of blogging. Whatever is inside a person comes out. I need to update more often. Note to self.... :PLabels: Pally Leveling |

| Adventures At Deaths Door |
| Monday, November 19, 2007 |
Last night ended with Pallanen being half way to level 70. I did a bunch of quests I had not bothered to do previously and then I tried one I thought might I not be able to do alone. As stated before, I don't group unless absolutely necessary, so naturally I have a bunch of group quests in my log. lol
Anyway, I went to this place called Deaths Door. It was the start of thelast 4 quests in a string of 8 that led me there. Just the name intrigued me so I knew I had to look at least. I followed the quest instructions and ended up going through this tunnel with these funny demon technicians in it. It was an easy trip and fighting them was fun. They made funny noises and actions that made fighting them entertaining. Pallanen could kill 3-4 of them before having to stop and eat or bandage so making it through wasn't hard at all. The other side was a different story.
On the other side I summoned the Druid as the quest said to do and he gave me this ammunition for use in the demon cannons. I needed to use their cannons to destroy the 2 portals in the canyon. That sounded easy enough until I got the first cannon firing. I expected to be attacked but these little sprite looking things started coming out of the portal and doing a kamikaze routine on the cannon. They ran up to it and exploded. That I didn't expect. I started to stand between them and chop them up but then they were exploding against me. That was the better choice so I kept it up all the while firing the cannon once it was ready. I had to stop once to bandage but managed to hold on until the cannon destroyed the portal.
Naturally once the portal was down 3 big ass monsters came after Pally. She was down to about half her life so she only managed to kill one before she was done.
I took the death opportunity to spirit fly around the area to find the second cannon. It was a long way off and there were a lot more mobs around it. I knew it would be harder. Pallanen fought her way to the cannon and cleared the area around it. But when she started firing it at the portal and the little sprite things started bouncing toward her 2 huge slobbering, three-headed dogs came and attacked her too. That was a nasty surprise. She managed to kill them both but the little sprites exploding got her. A second trip to the graveyard.
Once rezzed I took Pally around to make sure there were no extra baddies before firing the cannon again. It turns out there was one of those huge eyeball things with fangs floating close enough that when the cannon fired it called the dogs out. So Pally chopped it to bits and cleared the area again, then fired the cannon.
This time I knew what was coming so when the last shot was ready to be fired I healed Pally and fired. The portal died and then 3 baddies came to get her. But she was 100% this time and wiped them up easily. Well, maybe not easily. She did use a healing potion but killed them all.
Then when I summoned the Druid he said Pally had to kill the big red guy to finish the quest chain. The big baddie was called the Hound Master and was a 67 Elite. (Maybe 66?) Normally I would have stopped there but the Druid gave Pally something to summon 2 helpers so I figured I had nothing to lose. I killed all the baddies in the area (again!) and then summoned the tree guys. They were great! They held the Hound Masters aggro completely so Pallanen got to just chop away at him. The big bad elite turned out to be pretty wimpy and he died easily after maybe a minute. He probably is kinda tough but with three fighters attacking him it seemed easy.
Then Pallanen had to fight her way through the opposite tnnel and turn in the quest. The reward was great! 11 Gold 70 Silver and 17950 XP. Plus I chose this reward:
Natasha's Choker
Binds when picked up
Neck
Equip: Improves hit rating by 10 (0.6%).
Equip: Improves critical strike rating by 15 (0.7%).
Equip: Increases attack power by 50.
Item Level 103
Disenchant value: 22 Gold 75 Silver
Vendor value: 3 Gold 98 Silver 18 Copper
Source: Quest
It seemed like the right one since Pallanen is a DPS (Arms) speced Warrior.
All in all it turned out to be a pretty decent night for Pallanen. Hopefully tonight I can get her even closer to level 70. I will be a little late logging on so it won't be as close as I want. But there is life away from WoW. Right? ;)Labels: Pally Leveling |

| Pallanen Is Level 69! |
| Sunday, November 18, 2007 |
Pallanen made it to level 69 last night. I was so psyched about it. Just one more until 70. She made it ahead of our recent weekly leveling schedule. lol I'm not sure why it was early either because I haven't played every day this week. But it really doesn't matter, she is one level away now.
Pally leveled in Nagrand. I sorta like it there. One of my guild friends says she loves questing there. I see why. I'm still not real clear on all the hub-bub surrounding Halaa. That place should be crushed by now as much as the Alliance and Hordes keep fighting over it. There has to be more to it than I know but as I have tried to make clear here in the early going, I'm no expert gamer. If someone has some insight please feel free to let me know. (Assuming someone other than myself sees this blog. lol)
I did something I said I would never do outside my guild last night. I grouped with some players to kill Durn the Hungerer. I saw that someone was asking for help and I needed to do the quest so I answered. I also need some practice tanking so I went and helped against my better judgement. It went about the way I expected.
We went after Durn with just Pally, a Paladin, a Warlock and another character (that I can't remember right now :P). Only one level 70 among us. I had reservations about going into this with a Paladin as healer. The first time we caught him we had him down to maybe half his life when our healer seemed to forget I existed. I held the aggro pretty well so when the healer was on his toes we did OK. Once my health became an issue and I saw the others screaming for healing I knew we were in trouble. I tried to disengage to heal up but that darn Durn followed me around and stomped me into the ground. As I was traveling back to rejoin the fight I saw that everyone else got it one by one. lol
The second round went much better. The Warlock had his Voidwalker tanking so Pallanen was able to go into the fight dual wielding (which she prefers being a DPS Warrior). The VW and I held all the aggro but the healer left me alone again. We had old Durn down to 1/3 life when he stomped Pally into oblivion again. On the way back I saw the group was still hanging on so when I rezzed and popped a healing potion, I charged into him and used my Thunder Clap to get his attention. That took the pressure off the others and suddenly old Durn was dead. I had rejoined just in time for him to die. Very cool. :)
Then the group disbanded. Without a goodbye, thanks, kiss my ass, nothing. They all just disappeared. Typical. Someday soon I'll do a post about my grouping experiences. It will make it obvious as to why I never group anymore. But this time at least I wasn't left standing in a bad situation.
So I turned in all my quests after the Durn battle and was just a tiny little bit from leveling. So I went out and kept killing the cute little goat things in the fields until I made it. I felt a little guilty about that but it did the trick.
Today I plan on getting as much xp toward level 70 as possible. Sundays are the easiest time for me to waste hours playing. I hope to get a long way.
Maybe tomorrow I will finally figure out how to make those darn pics on the sidebar all nice and uniform. Only 2 of them pop up to full size. They are supposed to all do that. I still have a few things to learn about the blog template. LOLLabels: Pally Leveling |

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
