I can see it’s
been a little while since my last post.
So, even if I can’t get my thoughts organized, I guess I should still
write something all the same. I have
been very busy in game, mostly with leveling pets, which has become something
of an obsession for me. I am so obsessed
with pets, I am pretty sure that I am pretty sure I am going to experiment with
leveling cageable pets and then selling them on the AH, to see if leveled pets
sell better or command a higher price.
I should have led
off with the most important piece of news first. It seems my raiding woes have come to an
end. One of the tanks in team jade (for
new readers, this is my guild’s primary raid group) has burnt out. He approached me and asked if I was up to
taking his spot for a while. I was
ecstatic. This was way more than I had
hoped for. I will now be on a regular
three day a week raiding schedule in SoO normal. On top of that, I will be the only plate
wearer in the group. This is truly a moment
in serendipity. I have no idea why I was
approached. There is a DK in my guild
who is both senior to me and better geared than me. For all I know he was approached first and
declined the offer.
There is a price to
pay, of course. Our guild also runs flex
two nights a week, and I feel the responsibility to attend these raids, as the
flex raids are the only chance many have for raiding. This means I will actually be raiding five
nights a week. I also need to improve my
game. My SoO tanking experience is
limited, and normal is definitely a less forgiving place than flex. On top of this, our guild is finding it hard
to continue funding repairs, as the bank is being bled dry. This means people will need to step up and
start doing guild scenario and dungeon runs.
Naturally, I feel this too is something I am responsible to help
with. I am actually looking forward to
all this increased activity.
If I need to work
on my tanking game, it at least seems that I am right where I need to be on my
pet battle game (the PVE side at least).
I beat the tournament in one go this week and now have my second celestial
pet. I chose Zao, the baby ox. I felt he had the best appearance of the
three celestial pets I had to choose from.
I have also made the beasts of fable part of my daily routine, and have
gotten quite a few stones as a result, along with a cache of pet treats.
Just as I need to
organize my writing, I need to come with an organized daily routine and
priority list. So this is my rough draft
of such a list:
1.
Run LFRs,
at least one a day, until I have collected enough secrets of the empire for the
meta-gem in the legendary chain. I
should have this done within a week, unless I really get screwed on the
drops. I have the trillium needed, so
after getting enough secrets, all I need do is down Nalak and the Thunder
King.
2.
Continue capping valor every week. Until I am more comfortable with tanking SoO,
spend all valor points on tanking upgrades.
3.
Level
one pet to 25 every day. If time allows
continue doing the beasts of fable every day.
4.
Clear
Kharazan, Serpentshrine Caverns and Tempest Keep on the three characters I have
capable of doing so. Level, at least
partially, any pets obtained from this before posting to the auction house.
5.
Start
PvP pet battling. Aim for at least two
matches a day, and record the matches.
Take the weekly PvP pet battle quest.
6.
Continue farming on the Timeless Isle.
This list is in rough order of priority. I will work on becoming a better and better
geared tank first and foremost and then pet collection and sales, followed by
breaking into PvP pet battles. Timeless
Isle is pretty low on the priority list, which will take getting used to, as up
until now, it was the first thing I did when logging on. My alts will fall by the wayside for a while.
Not the most
exciting or insightful of posts, but like I said, it’s been over a week since
my last post and I wanted to keep momentum going.
Peace.
