This is the Recount data from Wednesday night's foray into Kara. Yes, it is partly to gloat about being #1 in damage done, despite being dead for the entirety of the Maiden fight, but mostly it's to highlight the #2, my friend and guildie Linada, who just hit 70 recently and was on her first Kara run. Nerf hunters, yo!
So much to catch up on, so sleepy and lazy. But, for my beloved readers, I offer two brief screenshots before I go to bed early tonight. First, Waradwen is now exalted with four factions (gotta get that Sha'tar rep up next!):
Second, in budding bad-assery, dig how cool Waradyne looks in his shiny new [Flying Tiger Goggles]. Sweet, eh?
I'm too far behind in posting to give you all full recaps, I fear, but here are some pictures from our last few weeks of adventures. I hope you enjoy them!
From the first time we poked our heads into the Scarlet Monestary a few weeks back: Look! The mobs are red! Well, orangish-red, at least...
Good ol' Azshir the Sleepless. I think I'll have that necklace, thank you very much.
Oh noes! A wipe!
Eat hot death, Ironspine! And we'll take that chestpiece while we're at it!
How do the Forsaken sleep in these things?
Running around the next week. How fierce is Harisan with that sword? Rawr!
Uh-oh. Resistance is futile!
I said...
Running off into the sunset.
Back to the Kraul for some guano.
Overwhelmed! Well, almost...
How cute is that felpuppy?
Window shopping. I don't think I'm wearing this outfit without the tabard!
Back into the Library. Eat it, Locksey!
Firedancer!
Doan!
Dead.
'dwenne and her pets. Aren't they cute?
How's this dress? Shexy, yes?
We hit that Library so hard it got fogged over!
Night, night!
The Grand Experiment officially commenced last night, although the Purple Poxers didn't get a lot of adventuring done. Sadly, Nas had internet problems and couldn't log on. Still, we were able to get our guild formed (yipee!) and our tabard designed (yahoo!) and mess around a little bit. I took a couple of screenshots that are good enough to share. I'm hoping Dax or Madja got better pictures of the group shot, as they were closer to the center and I was off on an edge.
Dancing and joking around, waiting for everybody to show up.
My best group shot.
A proud Purple Poxer (Poxette?):
Little Waradwenne hit level 10 earlier this morning, so she's ready for Wednesday's big night. I'm so excited. We've all been online the past few nights independently leveling and starting our professions and have been having a good time in chat. We seem to have a decent number of crafters at the moment, so I've decided just to pick up two gathering professions. The stacks of copper bars sell nicely, so I have a few gold coins jingling around in my purse, some of which will go towards our guild tabard Wednesday night. I'm following Og's great advice and trying to flip a little on the AH, too, but I've just started. It's hard to buy stuff -- even if it's relatively cheap -- when you only have a few silver to your name. :-D
I've got two pictures to share with you tonight, before I hit the sack. First, I took a nice picture of Waradwenne's first meeting with Thrall.
Second, my first group picture with a soon-to-be-antiPUG-guildie. Daxe is the tailoring specialist right now, having made an extremely helpful set of bags for our toons. I had forgotten how painful it is to run around with only 16 bag slots available! She also made me a nice [Barbaric Linen Vest], which she claims makes me look like I'm actually wearing a top, and some pants which are in the mail [Handstitched Linen Britches]. Here we are meeting in Razor Hill, flirting and laughing with each other. Very fun. Dig my plunging neckline, too. Hawt, right?
It's Lunar Festival! The time when all of the world gets invited to celebrate in Moonglade. Where they all spend their time PVPing. Bastards.
My current wartime gear, for comparison. I really feel like a doofus in that hat.
While waiting to finish the Gorefiend quests in SMV the other day, I caught this nice picture of myself on top of a mountain. I almost want to wear those [Spectrecles] around town all the time.
Near the end of the Gorefiend's Armor quest, the dragon thought he'd like some beef ribs. Sadly, the ones he wanted were mine...
If you look closely, you can see my foot sticking out underneath his right eye.
Other than those, nothing terribly exciting to report. Do you guys like seeing these pictures? I take them for myself, but thought y'all might like to share. If not, I'll quit wasting your bandwith.
I'm planning to go raiding tonight. I think we're going to go hit up Loot Reaver again. I'm still moderately undergeared, of course, but I think that I can do a little damage. Better to have my peashooter in the fight than a 24-man raid, right?
So here's that screenshot showing off how nice the [Skywitch's Drape] coordinates with our current guild tabard. I still like the looks of the [Spell-Slinger's Protector] best, but this isn't too terrible.
I'd like to also take some time to introduce you to my current horde (sorry) of alts. I realized over the weekend that Wara's done with almost all of his solo content (at least for the moment), so I'm going to decide who's coming up next. Recommendations?
First, my eldest alt, Waradwock. He's a 25 Tauren hunter with Echeyakee as a pet. I love his look and am having fun with the pet, but I don't think I can do the Tauren storyline immediately again. There's just so much more to explore, right?
Next comes Morningwar (sense a theme in my names?), a 13 Orc warrior. I'd like to learn how to be able to tank with Wara but don't want to, you know, learn at level 70. Seems like that'd be frustrating. I do like the bloodlust and violence available through Orcs and warriors, so this seemed like a really nice combination.
Last on Arathor is Waradwenne, a level 8 Blood Elf mage. A girl, of course, 'cause I think male belfs look hella-stupid. New story, new lore, new gameplay (and fun pew pew!) but I also started a Belf warlock on another server to play with some other friends (Waradin, on Steamwheedle Cartel), so there could be a lot of repetition.
So there's the family. No Forsaken, but not for any particular reason. No rogues, no pallys, no shamans. I'm not terribly interested in learning another hybrid class at the moment. I think I'll bring 'em all up to at least 20 (or maybe 30) to decide. Nobody fits quite as well as Wara yet, but maybe that'll come with time. Lots of fun stuff to explore! Maybe I'll even try those pinko Alliance at some point, too...
