Sunset in Westfall



I was in Westfall collecting herbs for my herbalism skill :D I have just dropped Alchemy as it is too expensive to continue on so I thought I could gather herbs instead, simple like skinning :D It's been easy so far but might take awhile to get to full skill level :D

A Big Dragon


After defeating Zuluhed the Whacked as part of my mission to earn a Netherdrake I released the captured dragon and flew back to Mordanei in Netherwing fields :D I got my new shield from Mordanei for releasing the dragon from Zuluhed :D Now I have to earn 5000g for elite mount riding skill before I can continue.

Old Hilsbrad





Our group entered the Caverns of Time in Tanaris near Gadgetzan. We were going to explore the mystery of Old Hilsbrad. We each got a dragon to fly use through the caverns. We talked to some learned people inside and then explored a strange swirling portal like distortion in the caverns. We met an elf who gave us dragon's to ride again and we found that we had gone back in time to Hilsbrad as it was in the past, we flew over SouthShore and onto Durnholde Keep which in the present day is a blackened destroyed ruin. I was not happy to find that we would be the ones ultimately responsible for it's destruction. Lennard, Sooper, Rolyma, Areldrich and I had to fight our way into the fortified building and plant bombs in the prison complex to I guess release all the orc warriors imprisoned in there starving. We planted the bombs and set the complex ablaze. We went to try to release an orc leader called Thrall but didn't manage. I think we will have to travel back in time again another day to complete that quest so that Thrall can continue his destiny. I wonder why were are helping the horde!!!

The Steam Vault





Necroslayer asked myself and Rolyma to come to The Steam Vault as two of their party had left, they had already killed two of the Vault's bosses and wanted to beat the third. I was a little unaware of how hard the Vault was going to be before I agreed to go. Necro summoned us to the hidden area under Coilfang Reservoir in Zangarmarsh, the Steam Vault is very close to Underbog. After entering the Vault and seeing that the enemies were ALL level 70 elites I was very worried and rightly so. In the party were NecroSlayer, Balis and Aasle, Rolyma and myself. We worked our way through the baddies to the hall of the third Boss. The boss was a huge Naga, a level 72 elite Whoa! He got a power boost from taking magical energy from the aquariums that surrounded him in his chamber, even after only one tank he was doing 8000 dps hits. We couldn't beat him, maybe another day T_T
I found some information about Warlord Kalithresh in the library in Stormwind Keep:

Mana Tombs Update


We went back into Mana Tombs in an effort to beat the third boss of the Tombs, the Prince. We didn't defeat him last time we came to Mana Tombs T_T This time we had NecroSlayer, Evagoras, Rolyma and Hanlika - with 5 level 70's we were going to stand a much greater chance than before. It was still extremely tough but we managed to defeat the Prince.
The trick is to have the main tank (me) focus on the Prince while being healed. Then then others must destroy the magical beacons that the Prince creates as if they are not destroyed then the Prince's apprentices will appear and that is bad news all around. It's important to get someone with a very high DPS strength like a mage to blast the beacons as they must be destroyed as soon as possible.

My Little Warrior Friend: Glip


I met Glip in the bank in Stormwind City today :D He is doing very well and has a new sword. I have been questing with Glip sometimes over the last few months. Glip is a very friendly gnome and a nice friend :D Glip is in the Guild, "The Brotherhood of the Soop" run by his friend CoolioG.
