So yesterday was a day for my druid. I spent most of yesterday questing on Arita with Sardrissa, just knocking off quests. Due to the many ramparts runs, Arita was already halfway to 63 and still in Hellfire Peninsula. Even I think that is a little much for a second run alt. I already did these quests, why is it taking so long??? Well, that changed with Sardrissa beside me, which was a concern since she is already significantly ahead of me in XP, being on a few bubbles from 65.
Our first order of business, though, was a trip to the old world. For those ofd you who don't know, I am somewhat of an Auction fiend. I have a knack for doing amazingly well selling stuff on the AH. Well, the night before I had spent time putting up a bunch of stuff I had been pack ratting in order to try to get closer to getting Arita his epic mount. When I got back up, I had found I had been very, very successful. Before this, I had about 340g for Arita's, and Sardrissa had about 315g. The epic riding skill is 540g. In the span of 12 hours, during which I was asleep, I made, I kid you not, 550g, putting both her and I more than over on the cost of epic mounts. Here is the screen shot of us on the cats which have sat in our collective banks as a carrot to save money for months now.
So we tried to group quests up, so we had fewer repeat runs to a sub zone. First we did a quick run at the Raging Colossus', and after a few deaths and with the help of Crystillyga, a Rogue from the guild, we got them and the summoned one down. Next Drissa and I did the area where the Illidanari are, to collect relics, kill them off, and do the quest line that start there and ends with the killing of the boss. By the time those were turned in, we were doing really well, and continued on to the Go to the Front quest which I had left mid chain cause I didn't want to solo the areas, not yet being super confidant as a moonkin.
A few demons, a few tanks, and a letter later, we were done, and on the way to the Pools of Aggonar. We killed the fiends and such, and then found ourselves waiting for the mob that is the kill for the Overlord quest, Arazzius the Cruel. This guy is well known to be very, very hard. Thankfully, a LFM* in the General channel got us a damned good make up for a PUG*. Me, a Druid, Sardrissa, a Hunter, a Mage and Priest who were already questing together named Morex and Jeffner, and then the final piece, a Warrior, who it turned out as the first began, sold of his one hander.
Thankfully, we were saved in that another group was planning to kill him too, so we worked together to get the 2 kills, so each group could get their credit without a huge, hard, and possibly wipe filled fight. This is how Medros and Drissa, along with a guildy Falaurus, had to do it after 2 wipes on him, so I wasn't too bothered by it. Without a doubt, the 3 person recommended group is a pipe dream.
I went to turn the Pools of Aggonar quest in at the Temple, which leads to Cleanse the Water, in which you need to kill Aggonis, a non elite demon. When Med and Driss had to do this, it took about 8 people doing it before we realized we had to use the vial to summon the mob. We felt so stupid, especially me since I am usually the one to read the quest log, and if that fails, go to Thott or Alla. So I go back to the Temple, turn that quest in, take a bit of XP and gold, and am now a little over 20k to level. Fly back to Honor Hold, and turn in the Terrorfiends quest there, right around 11k left. Now, for the big one. A group quest should give more than a non group, right? The last one gave 9800, so I was worried.
Live from Outlands, it's Level 63!!!!
So now Arita is ready to move on to Zangarmarsh. He has his epic kitty, and can now ride around and look for herbs, get the flight points, and so on. Hopefully his gathering will be less... on the edge than Med's is. Preferably less basilisk too. I figure that Arita could easily be about the same place as Med when he leaves this zone, especially since stuff Med collected but didn't need has been sent to Arita, so less killing. Medros is in Terrokar, where there seems to either be an abundance of miners, or a lack of ore. I'll keep you updated.
*If you do not know these acronyms, let me know, and I will see if I can make an explanation post.
