Kevin's Watch

I finished the Tethyr quest line today. I got it on the second try. My healer base instinct got the better of me the first time as I was trying to heal the soldiers instead of what I was supposed to do. Running the finale while a couple of people were passing by trying to do the children's week quest was a bonus for humor.

I haven't been able to play at all the past week or so, because Its coming up on finals for me(I have two tomorrow...) but hopefully I'll be able to play with you all soon.

Look forward to seeing you!

We're gonna need to take a new group pic soon.

the group pics that i took didn't turn out so well which is why i haven't posted one of them. lets make a date when we can all be online at
the same time.

For me... Friday evening, almost any time Saturday or Sunday... my schedule has been hopping around this week, but I have been trying to get on from about 8-9 pacific to do my dailies. (Making a run for exalted with Shattered Sun.)

Yesterday, I had a good night fishing. I found some debris in Stranglethorn Vale to fish in and picked up 4 trunks out of it. So far I've gotten nearly six gold from two of the items at the AH.

That made up for a frustrating night. I was searching for a tiger there for 45 minutes and never found it.

i can't find any floating debris dammit. when i wasn't looking for it, it was everywhere. now tht i am, it's vanished.

friday evenings are good for me too, Sorus, as are any saturday or sunday AFTER finals (may20th.) up till then i'll be working my bum
off to finish up last papers and projects.

Awesome. Good luck on your finals!

I often have good luck with floating debris in Menethil, around behind the inn or off the shore near the shipwreck where the murlocs are. STV is usually pretty good too.

I was swimming back from gathering Delfias plans along the coast northeast of Theramore when I spotted 2 areas of floating debris. Between the two areas I plunked out 3 trunks; with the best item and a good green lvl 35 sword. A little further on the way back I found two schools of Firefins, so the rod got some use this afternoon.

ok i'll try menthill and STV tonight after class. what lures ya'll using?

I gotta stop peeking at this thread... it's kinda making me wanna WOW.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!



I GOT IT!! THE WEATHERBEATEN FISH FINDING BOOK!!

Yay, Luci!!

Counting the days till I can get a horse!

A human priest has to be about the slowest figure in the game. I've been out run by turtle pets!

I'm a long grinding quest away from lvl 38, so the time's near. I'm getting close to 40 gold, so my ask from the guild hopefully won't be that great.

WHAT??!! FOURTY GOLD??? crimeny. how in the sam hill are you guys MAKIN ALL THIS MONEY for cryin out loud. i have TWO GOLD okay.
i spend every penny i make on potion making and alchemy training and attempting to keep my crappy leather armor upgraded. and i had to borrow from the guild to even accomplish THAT. i auction every friggin
thing i pick up that looks auctionable. i guess i just SUCK at making money.

and this is NOT an appeal for handouts EITHER!! i just wanna know
what i'm doing WRONG.

I know myself and my addictive personality far too well...

...yep, that's exactly what I am afraid will happen...

My friend, who doesn't play on our server, told me not to waste my money by upgrading armor as I level. It'll soon be obsolete anyway. Thinking about it, it seems about every 6 or 7 levels some quest or another gives you an armor upgrade that keeps you competitive for a while.

The only thing I've bought at the AH was a wand that had a fire rate of 1.2 seconds.

That said, it's only after I changed my strategy in regards to the AH that I really started making any money. Last week, I thought I was wealthy when I had 3 gold. Now, I spend more time there studying what things are being offered at, and give about 90% of the stuff I pick up a chance at the AH first before I go to a vendor.

I almost never buy armour. There's always a quest reward or a drop (or something in the guild bank) that comes up.
I also only spend money on my blacksmithing (with occasional exceptions) when it's a rare drop ingredient I need, or something like Leather that I can't make.
I sell most of my green drops on the AH; I used to pick up and sell to vendor every item that dropped, now I ignore everything unless it looks valuable (or useful). It hasn't really affected my cash.
I have around 55 gold, because I just levelled up and bought a bunch of skills. I had 65, earlier. I got most of that from just two or three items I was lucky enough to get as drops and sell on AH. (I quite often put green items at 5-10 gold buyout, and it usually sells.)



What I've been up to: Got the key to Searing Gorge yesterday, on a very easy quest chain. Learned Heavy Mageweave Bandage, which I should have gotten ages ago but didn't realise, and I'm two points from learning Runecloth Bandage. I still haven't finished the quest to become an Armorsmith.

lemme get this straight...yer tellin me NOT TO SHOP???
