Status of Kurn:<\/p>\n
– Level 85<\/p>\n
– 525 Skinning\/ 525 Leatherworking<\/p>\n
– Hasn’t even done all the dungeons yet<\/p>\n
– Spent a lot of time skinning and farming volatiles<\/p>\n
Status of Madrana:<\/p>\n
– Level 83 (God bless you, Holy Radiance!) and 21%<\/p>\n
– Only healed Blackrock Caverns, Stonecore and Vortex Pinnacle thus far (haven’t discovered TotT) and even pugged some of that, with halfway decent results<\/p>\n
– Already well through revered with the Guardians of Hyjal<\/p>\n
– Hyjal is completely, COMPLETELY done. Doing it all over the course of about a day and a half is very, very different from doing it on Beta, where I did that over the span of about three weeks. It was nice to be able to basically already know what to do for the quests, though. I nearly cried at Save the Wee Animals, though. Still hate that quest!<\/p>\n
– I’ve replaced six pieces so far: helm, neck, both rings and both trinkets. RIP 2pc T10. You will be missed.<\/p>\n
– Mana issues when fights drag on too long or too many people are taking damage at once. Most of the time, I’m okay, especially if I remember to judge, but sometimes it just isn’t possible.<\/p>\n
– Using lots of CDs — HoSac, Divine Protection, BOP, Divine Shield, Lay on Hands have all seen use this weekend, and a lot of it.<\/p>\n
– JC to 481, Alchemy to 508. Enough to have both trinkets, although I’m not using my alchemy trinket for my holy set, not yet anyways.<\/p>\n
Apotheosis:<\/p>\n
– 22 level 85s — 3 tanks and 3 healers in the mix.<\/p>\n
– Guild Level 3 early this morning!<\/p>\n
– Guild Deadmines\/Heroic Deadmines\/Heroic Stonecore achievements all gotten this morning\/last night.<\/p>\n
– Officers have maxed out Herbalism, Alchemy, Inscription, Enchanting, Engineering, Mining, Skinning and Leatherworking. This leaves: Tailoring (OMG, where is all the Embersilk?!), Jewelcrafting (waiting on meta transmutes) & Blacksmithing (waiting on JC to finish with the ore, basically).<\/p>\n
I’m still unhappy with the structure of guild achievements and guild levelling and the like. I’m still unhappy with the majority of the instances I’ve seen, thus far. I’m still unhappy that since 3am on Tuesday morning, which is 5 days and 4.5 hours, I have dinged Kurn and am more than halfway through the levelling process with the paladin — it’s just too short. And we’re basically stuck with the 5-levels-per-expansion for at least two expansions, lest we ding 95 for the next one. I’m really not a fan. I couldn’t queue for Blackrock Caverns or TotT with someone who was 85 and someone who was 81 couldn’t join my queue for Stonecore, I think it was. (Maybe Vortex Pinnacle.) The levels and their requirements are really not right and everything feels compressed.<\/p>\n
That said, I’m enjoying spending time with my guildies. I’m enjoying saying grats all the time, even if it seems like it’s every two minutes. I’m enjoying NOT recruiting right now, because we are, honest to God, all full up.<\/p>\n
That doesn’t mean I don’t have to check up on people who are getting to 85 more slowly, or that I don’t have to check up on people’s heroic-level gear… but it means I can do stuff in-game and on the armory as opposed to on the realm forums, the WoW forums, Wowhead’s forums and MMO-Champion’s forums.<\/p>\n
On the agenda for the next couple of days:<\/p>\n
– Ding Madrana 85, work on her professions<\/p>\n
– Get a BiS pre-raid gear for holy pallies post up (just as soon as I’ve had a good look at the loot tables and such)<\/p>\n
– Record the next Blessing of Frost episode on Monday for Tuesday morning release<\/p>\n
Oh, and somewhere in there, I should probably sleep for a bit. ;)<\/p>\n
