What a fun, random day of WoW. :D I logged on just before midday today, and went straight to Dire Maul to farm Steamwheedle rep. Halfway through the first run, a random level 15 nelf rogue whispered me & said "Hi".

Panadoll: hello
Kered: what are you up to
Panadoll: farming rep
Kered: still doing the Insane achievement?
Panadoll: yeh.. who are you btw? lol
Kered: What's Kered backwards?
Panadoll: derek??

It was a friend I've known for several years now, who has always hated WoW with a passion. xD Apparently he has decided to play. :D He came to visit me last weekend - I hadn't seen him in ages - and I talked about WoW a lot. >< Maybe it was that. ^_^

So I stopped farming and went to run him through deadmines. Then I logged over to my rogue (Miuu, around level 17) and quested with him a bit. Was fun. :D

Thisevening I when I logged on I was invited to Ulduar sitout, so no Dire Maul runs.. and I didn't feel like farming Ravenholdt again. So I logged over to my rogue & Yuge ran me & Kered through BFD (on his dk Broodling). I'm getting sick of the rogue though. The only reason I rolled her was because, for the Insane achievement, the only way you can get from revered to exalted rep is by handing in Heavy Junkboxes, which need to be farmed by a rogue. But yeh, I'm not really enjoying questing because I've done these quests so many times before. :<

Anyways, I logged back over to Panadoll. The Ulduar raid broke up shortly after - I think it reformed a little later, but by the time it did I had already agreed to go to AQ20 with Death. She and Pelor have been farming Cenarion rep lately. AQ20 was pretty fun. :D I did very little healing, just lots of shield spamming. We decided to go to AQ40 after that, where I got a Red Qiraji Battle Tank! and Why? Because It's Red :D We didn't do much of AQ40 because we really didn't have enough people. But it was pretty fun anyway. :)

During AQ I asked my friend who was there, Tekno (80 rogue) if he would be interested in earning 1000g. I explained to him about the Ravenholdt rep.. seriously I would be willing to pay 1000g for a rogue to farm those boxes for me, it would be quicker for me to make back the money than it would be to level my own rogue to farm them. He said that because he's on his other account a lot these days, I was welcome to log onto Tekno myself and farm the boxes, and not have to spend any monies. Awesome! :D

Still later in the evening I offered to run Kered through SFK. He didn't have any flightpaths apart from Stormwind & Westfall. >< So we went on a very long adventure running from Ironforge to Silverpine Forest. I wish I had a passenger mount. :-/ SFK was pretty fun though.. I've done the instance on lowbie horde toons on other servers, ages ago, but had never done it on Panadoll. So I got an achievement for that too. :D

so tired! sleep time. :P

With WotLK so close, my priorities have shifted a bit. I'm trying to get as many Outland raids and old world raids as I can done on Panadoll, and gear her up as much as possible. Unfortunately my horrible luck with rolls has been hampering me. Today I did AQ20 (fun, fast raid), then finished off Hyjal (the servers never came back online last night - not quickly anyways). No tier stuff dropped for me in Hyjal, legs from Archi didn't drop, and I didn't win the only other thing I wanted (bracers to replace my crappy Shattrath Wraps) which was disappointing. Twelve won't go back there again, so that's it I guess. No legs of awesomeness for me. :( I'm hoping they'll do BWL sometime soon, and perhaps Onyxia, so I can get the old world raiding achievement.

Tonight I logged onto Panacea to do ZA with SotM. Half an hour before we were due to go, Lutzi asked me if I wanted to go to Gruuls. So I went and did that, and got Leggings of the Fallen Defender - finally, something! Not quite sure yet if what I can get for it will be better than my gemmed Kara legs, cos I had to log over straight afterwards for ZA.

There were only a few people invited who still wanted ZA. :( So we had to PuG most people. It wasn't too bad though, our PuG was pretty good, despite only managing to get three bosses down before we ran out of time. Better than other PuGs of ZA I've done on Panacea anyways. But I didn't win any rolls for anything (of course ><) and we didn't manage to get the last boss (Zul'jin) down, mostly because people were unfamiliar with the fight I think (move out of fires, first rule of WoW ><) and our awesome healer Pelor going down early most attempts. I'm not quite sure what he was doing wrong. He most often went down in Phase 3, and I know HoTs are better to use in that phase cos you get damage if you cast in a tornado.. but yeh. Our group was a bit melee heavy which may have had something to do with it.
