I have decided to take a break from raiding with Aeigelus for about a week or so. I am starting to get annoyed by the same things over and over again, and didn’t want it to become an issue. I have no doubt that after the break, I will be back to raiding hardcore. But until then, its time for Korgg…
Last night was the first night of the break. I am going to be leveling Korgg, my shaman, to at least level 50 before I return to raiding. He is currently level 46 (dinged last night). I will probably be running around with some friends from the Dallas area (and one from the Tampa Bay area, ie - Gitr/Deadr). Last night, we ran through every quest in the Hinterlands area except the Jintha’alor area. I can’t count the amount of wolves, slimes, trolls, moonkins, etc that we killed last night. All in all, it got me from the beginning of 45, to ding 46. After that, we headed over to Feralas, to complete the last of my couple quests I had there. I made it all the way to the Muisek (sp?) quest where you have to capture the elite giants. I am already halfway through 46, so I hope to maybe ding 47 and 48 on Thursday night.
What I love so much about my Shaman, is how hard he actually hits. When I use Windfury 2 on my Mograine's Might, i can crit for about 300-400, and sometimes, that will triple when Windfury procs. My strategy for now, is to melee as much as possible, and don’t use any shocks, as they are extremely mana inefficient. I can usually go a good 20-30 minutes without having to drink. When I am with a group, I will usually heal myself, but if I am soloing quests, I will bandage to conserve mana.
Korgg is already 300 in Herbalism and Alchemy, and has the Transmute: Undeath to Water recipe. Needless to say, gold isn’t an issue. Now that I am 46, I am going to try to get the Transmute: Elemental Fire recipe from Thorium Brotherhood rep, to make some money that way. 3 Elemental Fires from 1 Heart of Fire is a pretty good deal. I would REALLY love to get the Greater Fire Protection Potion recipe as well. Serious $$$.
You betcha that’s some good money. One of the things that’s been ticking me off so much about Kargath is the price of Heart of Fires. It’s no longer possible to break even doing that transmute, let alone using my Arcanite transmute. Deadr will heal you whenever you want going for the Fire Protection Potion in LBRS, unless he starts making way more money than you. I think Gitr broke down and bought it after watching it drop twice and go to GLs in my PuGs.
I checked mail this morning before work and have 29g at level 16.
Burning Legion seems pretty stable and just the right amount of activity on the Horde side. Not venturing out into the Alliance territories, I have no idea how populated the server actually is, though.
