While out questing with Sardrissa today, and we decided to make use of some coordinates that a guildmate gave me the day before, so we travelled out Aldor Rise in Shattrath City, and headed into Nagrand. This shot was the first one I took just outside of Aldor Rise. The primary reason I decided to take screens out there was a post on Starman's blog about how amazing it looks. He wasn't wrong. This scenery, above all the rest excluding the sky in Hellfire, is the most breathtaking views I have seen in Outlands yet.
We travelled westward to Telaar, and got what I think is the most aggravating flight point I have found yet. I can see a lot of people dying off that man made cliff. I took some more screens, of floating waterfalls, unknown towns, and the amazing scenery, then we flew on back to Telredor in Zangarmarsh. After a little while there, while waiting on our group to be ready for some boss farming in Hellfire Ramparts, Sardrissa dinged while we were killing Ogres or some such. Then, out of the blue, about a half hour later or so....
Live from Outlands, it's Level 64!!!!
That's right, I dinged 64 on Medros! Training brought me a new Holy Shock, Rank 4, for 20s, and Seal of Vengeance, a new Seal that does nice Holy Damage when judged, and has a chance to do extra damage when it procs. Not a bad training overall. As Sardrissa had to get her training there too, we both flew to Shattrah, then portaled to Stormwind. While in Stormwind Sardrissa decided to... investigate an armor upgrade. What do you think?
Once our hearthstones where cooled down, we hearthed back to Telredor, and went back to questing. Once we hit Orebor Harborage, we both had more quests we could grab, and did, once of which was to travel to Sylvanaar, in the Blades Edge Mountains. A guildmate was already there, so after killing some spiders of varying sizes but oddly the same level, we found our way past Fey Drakes, lovely sprite like creatures, and Lynx, to find the elven outpost. I rejoiced to find that I can once again grind rep with Darnassus, especially since Medros is so close to exalted for his cat. Yes, I have a wicked looking Charger, and I want an epic cat.
Being one who loves to explore, and stupid enough to try in a land of mobs so far above me, I convinced my dearest to travel with me to the other two outposts in Blades Edge Mountains. We rode through relatively danger free areas to get to a gnomish outpost, Toshley's Station, which is where I found a cute little gnomelet with what looked like either a deathray or a water gun. You decide. We then headed north, meeting up with some extremely unpleasant looking mobs along the way but not being dismounted even once, to arrive at our final destimation, Ruuan Weald, and other elven outpost, this time run by the Cenarions. Our adventure done, and our party nearly ready, we flew all the way to Honor Hold, so I could log onto Arita so he could get rep and XP from runs into Ramparts, since Medros had his pieces I wanted from there.
Speaking of pieces Medros has, I wanted to take a second from my day to show off a few pieces of gear Medros has gotten. Other than his first ever Libram(Yay! Ranged slow no longer useless) which was from a quest, after several runs through Hellfire Ramparts, Medros finally got his Light Touched Breastplate which I had socketed with Teardrop Blood Garnet, Brilliant Golden Draenite, andSolid Azure Moonstone. The combined bonuses are amazingly nice, and I am loving the look of it. This adds to my Heart Fire Warhammer which I got my first run, and, which we downed the demon on the second try. Sardrissa is still looking for the Shadowrend Longblade, which drops off Watchkeeper Gargolmar, who also drops the breastplate.
So, back to the run through Ramparts. We got delayed here and there, by people being in the middle of other stuff, and then we finally get going. I have a few fire pots, and such, in case her sword drops and we decide to continue on, and had spent the time waiting for people farming Dreaming Glory for Super Healing Potions, and then, just as we are less than 10 minutes from going...World Server Down. After another half an hour of server coming up, then going down, and so on, it finally stabilizes, and we get going. First run, no sword, and the group decides to not stop, even though the plan from the beginning was to farm the first boss for the sword.
We go through the entire way, wiping a few times, Arita dinging 62, and down the dragon with ease. Our warrior is in his groove, and we did great on the last fight. This done, a priest pice falls, so one of our hunters grabs his Priest to take it, and decides to stick around for a couple more first boss runs. Yay! No more healing for Arita. All Moon turkey, All the time. We clear to the first boss 2 times in 30 minutes, and no wipes, all going amazingly well, but no sword.
So I end the night with a 64 Paladin, and a 62 Druid, my hunter is 52 and has several nice pieces of gear, and using up all the Thorium Headed projectiles I stocked up on before they decided to into Wicked projectiles, and he could very well be 60 and working through outlands in no time flat. So there you go. How I began, worked through, and ended one big, long, day in WoW. I will, though, leave you with one final screenshot, this of Medros wearing his Mirren's Drinking Hat, a cheap knock off of the Crimson Felt Hat, his new Breastplate, and his lovely, shiny(even without enchant) hammer. See you soon.
