So throughout the life of my shaman, I have always quested with Boxter or Rhone (a good friend in Teen Girl Squad). While doing this gets quests done quickly, it usually leaves me without quests at times when by myself. So last night, I decided to grind my way to 49. I flew over to Feralas, and grinded on the Ogres in the southwestern area. Let me tell you, this is quite possibly one of the BEST grinding spots for a specific class I have ever found. Most of the mobs are casters, so Rank 1 Earth Shock interrupts most of their spells for a measly 30 mana. I dinged 49 around 7:30pm.
Then, I decided I would head over to the Blasted Lands to do the collection quests, for the many buff items you can get (forget the name of all of them). These mobs should be 3 or 4 levels above what they are listed. Not only do they mana burn the fuck out of you, they hit like a truck. I could barely make it through 2 or 3 fights without being completely out of mana, and almost dead. And I was at least 2 or 3 levels higher than the mobs I was fighting. Luckily, Boxter logged on, and came over to help me get the rest of the materials to complete the quests. I am about 50% through 49, so should hit 50 (and maybe if I am lucky, 51) tonight. I also plan on helping Deadr out by running him through a couple instances. Probably will hit up Wailing Caverns and Shadowfang Keep a couple times.
On the gear/items front, I just finished up transmuting all of Boxter’s Essence of Undeath to Essence of Water for his Hide of the Wild, and now its time for me to make mine. I still need to buy all of my Larval Acid and Living Essence though, so it might be a little while till I get it.
Nice cloak :P. I’m hoping for that pattern to drop for me soon. Not that I cna benefit from it, but it’s one of the few item worth making for sale with a 300 Tibal Leatherworker…
