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

I drew this a few weeks ago for someone in TF when I was bored on a shutdown night. :)

Also something I didn't mention here when it happened.. Panadoll got her awesome blue birdie mount, after many many runs through Sethekk Halls with Damager's druid alt. xD I just thought of it cos I changed my lj profile & added a pic of it there. :)

Panacea dinged 60 today :D

( ding shot )

She also got herself a swift ram. ^_^



it was so expensive >< Herbing brings in a lot of monies for her though. So I'm hoping it won't take too long to make it back up. Panadoll's funds are pretty severely depleted now though. I didn't want her funds to ever go under 1000g again, but she's down to only about 700g now. :( Gotta do some dailies at some point.. but now that Panacea's in Outland I kinda can't stop playing her. :P I want her at 70 now! It seems so close...

Panacea finally got her ram mount! :D I can't believe I ever thought I could get this thing by level 30. :P It took a damn lot of runecloth to get it.. so glad I had heaps of stacks stored on Panadoll's bank alt Pahnk, but I still had to buy a lot of it. I love the noise its hooves make! Its name is Umbra. ^__^

Of course most of the time it looks more like this ~



A couple random pics.. Panacea met her almost-clone in Searing Gorge. We did an escort quest together. :)



..and then she went and did the Saving Sharpbeak quest. I love this quest! It always makes me a little teary when Sharpbeak is reunited with his parents. :3

yay finally! My Zhevra! :D

..I think I still actually prefer my Winterspring Frostsaber. :P (not just in looks, also cos it was so difficult to get.) But the zhevra is a nice addition to Panadoll's white/pale coloured mounts collection. ^_^

Panacea spent a long time yesterday levelling fishing & cooking, following this guide. I neglected fishing and cooking while levelling Panadoll, and now regret it cos I wanna do the dailies and I find myself fishing endlessly for deviate fish in Barrens trying to level my skill. I don't want that to happen with Panacea. There's only so much I can do of the guide at level 30, but I managed to get her fishing to 205 and cooking currently maxed out at 225. I'm gonna leave them both for a bit (fishing here and there while waiting for boats) til I get down to Gadgetzan to do the artisan cooking quest.

I am kinda excited cos I just got a message from a friend saying that they would be "in for the World of Warcraft thing" meaning, they are gonna let me recruit them as a friend. :D Zhevra mount shall be mine! 8D

I took Panacea on a couple of PuGs of Stocks today. Stocks is an easy/fast instance (with crap loots :P) but the difference from VC (in the skill of the people I was with) was great. In both of the runs I was on I was with a shadowpriest who was dpsing (I healed both runs) and I was kinda jealous of her. xD I'd love to get some experience dpsing an instance. I noticed the shadowpriest was using mind flay, and at first I was like what? how does she have mind flay (she was level 25), I don't have mind flay? But I quickly figured out that she must have put all her talent points straight into the shadow tree. I think it's important, when levelling shadow at least, to have a few points in disc for Improved PW:Fortitude and Improved PW:Shield (I also have 2/5 Unbreakable Will and 3/5 Wand Specialisation).

These PuGs I was in were slightly low level for Stocks I think (the players ranged from level 23-25) but they were much better than my PuGs for VC. In the first run I noticed that the shadowpriest was dispelling diseases and I was like.. diseases should be coming up on my Healbot, why can't I see them to dispel them? I realised later that I have Healbot set up to turn peoples' bars yellow when they have a disease, which is confusing cos the bars also go yellow when people are below about 70% health. I changed it so they turn light blue when people have a disease, and I was able to dispel diseases a lot better in the second run. This is what I have my baby priest for, to learn important stuff like this! :D

The only annoying thing about the second run was a shaman in our group, who whispered me to tell me "I know you're healing, but dps a bit as well so we can get this done faster." Ugh! I was throwing up SW:Pains and wanding when I could already, and these people were all kinda low level so it was taking all my mana to heal and dispel them anyways. I whispered this to him and he was like "I play a holy paladin and I always dps when I'm not healing." Gah, it's not like I'm doing nothing when I'm just standing there, I am regenning all-important mana >< Bah, noob.

I got all my Stocks quests done, including the one from the dwarf at Dun Modr, so I'm quite happy. :) Also, Panacea dinged level 30 after I turned in the quests. :D Mount time!



I got her the purple elekk. I actually prefer how the grey one looks but I think the purple one suits Panacea better. :3 I realised in my early 20's that there was no way I was gonna get enough Ironforge rep for a ram mount by 30. :P I'm a couple hundred points off revered at the moment.. soon I shall have ram mount! Maybe even before level 40.. though that's probably overestimating. ^^;
