Blogging and Playing in Earnest Again

Level 78!!!!! Yah, baby!

So it's done. I've completed a lot of the Midsummer quests and a few achievements and finally reached level 78. I have also finally purchased my first flying mount and I'm currently raising the cash for cold weather flying (1/4th of the way there already). I really hoping that I'll have it paid for by the end of next week so I can start on saving for my epic flying mount and lvl 80 epic gear.

My plan for now is to stay in Sholozar for much of this time for two reasons. Leather, of which I still need a ton, and Oracle rep. I really want the trinket from the Oracle's. Since beginning to get set up for having Oracle rep, I've found it's kind of riduculus to have to complete so many quests for Frenzyheart rep. It kinda works out as it does give you xp as you work towards the quest which opens up the Oracle side of things. From there it should just be a fairly quick grind to get what I want. And hopefully I'll hit 79 or even 80 while grinding rep and leather there.

In the Mean Time

So Zuluki has been in a form of stasis and now as I'm able to start to begin to catch up on playing and blogging I'm finding the blogasphere that I'd become accustom to has changed. NO MORE BRK!!!!!!!! Seriously? This is a shocker, I have to wonder if he still plays WoW. From looking at other blogs I used to regularly follow it seems a lot of people, whom still play their hunters, have expanded their horizons on other alts of different classes.

I can't say I haven't been on that train as well. This spring I've brought my rogue alt to 70 and into Northrend, I'm still slowly leveling my Ally shaman and I have also been pushing to get my BE pally up in levels, he's finally wearing plate armor. I have also been experimenting with the DK's. All of this in between changing careers, work schedules, potty training and many other activities. Zuluki has been somewhat relegated to a farming toon for leather and money. This is okay atm as I need the money for flying mounts and training, as well as the massive quantities of leather to finish out leveling my LW.

I feel that currently there's been a lack of purpose or goals for Zulu and thus the reason's she hasn't seen as much play and for my lack of blogging. So here we go. My goals for the rest of the summer!

1. Finish farming enough leather to hit 450 LW, then use leather for generating more money.
2. Continue to farm gold so that I can get flying mounts and all my flight training for Northrend.
3. Hit LVL 80!!!!!! At half way through 77, this really shouldn't be a monumental task. I just need to start playing regularly again and quest!
4. Have fun! :D

Another reason I need to get his done, my guild Malice, is very near to be raiding atm We have enough lvl 80's to start tackling the end game content, but we do need a little more diversity in our group make up. Plus I want to get my feet wet. Anyways, stay tooned. I'll be posting more regularly again. :D

RL and WoW

Well, several things have again kept me from blogging like I should. I am still slowly leveling, playing around 4 to 8 hours a week on Zulu and the same on another alt right now. I've had to change jobs like so many out there and that has really thrown off my play times and blogging times.

I've finished Sholazar Basin, I'm mostly done with Dragon Blight and I've entered Zul'Drak. I've found with all the changes BM is still hot and I love how well my kitty works. I use Jujukitty way more than my gorilla unless I know I'm going to be pulling and handling more than 3 mobs at a time.

In my new RL job training is over and I should be settling into a rhythm soon so hopefully I'll be playing more this summer.

It's Spring and the Inevitable.

Just so everyone know's I've not forgotten my fans out there. Real Life is happening everyday and the weekends are nearly as busy too. I spend what little time I get to play leveling up another alt and then I go and grind for leather. It takes a riduculous amount of Borean Leather to get enough Heavy Borean Leather to finish leveling my Leatherworking. Three hours in Sholozar Basin turned into enough Borean Leather to make 34 Heavy Borean Leather. So back to the basin I will go and I'll probably level another level there just on farming leather. Ah well, life is good though and my new guild Malice is turning out to have been the right choice. There's more than 30 of us now making the final push to 80 and the new end game content.

Lost Time

Wow, I turn around and blink a couple of times and what has happened?

Two whole months.....

Wow.....

Okay, I haven't done much lately as my alliance guild has been pushing for heroic runs and preparing for our first shot at raiding there. So I've been on that side of the server for a while doing what I can to help out. When I have been on Zulu, I've been farming leather like a crazed woman in Sholozar (which now has my nomination for the best ever in game music). I'm a bit stunned at how much Heavy Borean Leather I am going to need to finish out the remaining 20 or so points of leatherworking that I need but it could be worse. I could be level 80 and doing this for little benefit. At least I'm gaining XP for this and I have nearly cleared another level just doing this.

Anyways, I'll be back soon with more.
