I have a confession to make.

I'm additected to levelling.

Last night I hit 40 on my shaman.  Then I hit 41.

She's a week old. 

A lot of my friends have been expressing amazement at how fast I've levelled her.  It hasn't even felt like a grind, especially after 30.  The increase in levelling speed is astounding and I remember it only feeling faster the closer to 60 I got. 

I picked up dual weilding, and so far I'm not very enamoured of it.  I think that's just because I had to go and work up my one-handed weapon skills some, and I was using a far overpowered 2-hand axe for my level, but things seemed a lot harder to kill.  I have stormstrike now and I'll be picking up the extra +hit with dual-weild, so we'll see how that goes.

I'd also like some advice here.  Should I go straight for the 41-point talent, or should I max out the dual-weild and then go spend some points in resto for the extra hit and a few other nice things?  The enhancement 31- and 41-point talents seem a lot more aimed towards grouping/raiding and I won't be doing any of that until 60.

I also took a couple of hours out on Sunday and finished off getting exalted with Stormwind.  I like elekks, but I have a thing for horses.  I also found that on my last draenei, I kept getting stuck places because the elekk was so big.  It was quite embarassing.

The Little Things

So, I was questing in Darkshire on my baby shammy yesterday.  She's now level 32, and ohmygosh I love windfury.  But that's not the point here.

So I was standing in the town hall, and I realised that the names of some of the NPCs looked terribly familiar.

I checked WoW Wiki and my hunch was right.  All of Moroes' adds have relatives in Darkshire.  All but one are in the town hall, Farrin Darris is in the inn, upstairs. 

I'd never noticed this before, and I bet not many people have.  It is on the Wiki, but I'd never gone to the individual add's pages before. 

So, it kind of makes sense.  I mean, Karazhan isn't that far from Duskwood, and Darkshire has been overun by all sorts of undead and worgen nasties, and there's the link between the worgen and the black riders of Deadwind Pass already.

Duskwood has always been one of my favourite zones, I think because of the storylines there that all work together and (when I take time to read them) are well-written and make you feel something for the characters here.  I also love the Scythe of Elune line, I always take the time to go and start that one in Ashenvale so I can finish it up at the same time as the other worgen quests.

So, did those guests go there when Moroes and Karazhan were still alive(ish)?  If you just go by the book, the Last Guardian, nobody but Moroes and Cook were there with Medivh until Khadgar came.  The game seems to change that a little, having a whole host of guests and servants.  Perhaps these are before Medivh?  Maybe on dying, Moroes made friends with the local ghosts and invited them over for tea and crumpets?

I have no idea, but it's cool nonetheless.

I'm So Weak...

I've done it again.

 

My main characters - My druid, warlock and warrior are all about as well-geared as I can get them without raiding, which I can't always do.  My hunter is well-geared enough to farm and I don't have much interest in getting her beyond that.  So, now I could be running dailys and getting epic flyers for all my toons.

 

Am I doing that?  Am I heck.  I rolled up another alt.  I'm so weak!

 

Kach1.JPGThis is Kachinaa.  As of writing this, she's level 22 and she's a shaman.  I'm liking it so far, although she is a little squishier than I'd like.  I've read that shaman really doesn't take off until the 30s and 40s though, so I'm sticking with it.

 

And I LOVE ghost wolf.  Can you say overpowered?  40% run speed increase?!  What the heck was I doing messing around with travel form?  Pshaw!  Wolf is where it's at. 

 

I'm currently running around with a big two-handed mace, using flametongue until I get windfury.  I'm enhancement, and I think I'll be sticking to that because I already have a healer (druid) and ranged caster (warlock). 

 

Will I get her to 70?  I don't know yet.  I should be starting a new job soon so my playtime will go right down, and I may lose interest partway through.  My rogue is still languishing in the late 40s and has been for about two years now.  We'll see! 

 

I think I have the basics of the class down.  Another reason for playing a shaman is that it's one class I had no idea about and I wanted to get to know at least a little.  I love having the range of knowledge that having alts brings.

I'll probably come up with an RP background for her soon.
