Adventure Updates

Good morning! I finally have some time to do an update on my characters latest adventures. First, let me say that if everything goes ok, my new computer will be arriving sometime today. According to the tracking information on the fedex website, its on the truck to be delivered. I can't wait! Now lets get up to speed with my characters adventures.

Bakihanma - I truthfully have been kinda slacking with Baki. The only thing he has been doing is dailies to save up gold to give Saiyah her dual spec so she can start healing. But, here are some of the his latest accomplishments within the last couple of weeks.

1. Got exalted with Knights of Ebon Blade which also gave me the achievement for 10 exalted reputations.
2. In a pug raid last week, did Tempest Keep, the Eye. That was pretty fun. It did actually take almost 25 80's to complete the raid. I could not imagine how hard it would have been at lvl 70.
3. Got my Blacksmithing profession maxed out by creating 2 pieces of Titansteel armor and weapon for Renachan to use when she hits 80.

That's pretty much it for Baki. Also slowly but surely working on quests for "Loremaster"

Renachan - My DK is now 79 and questing in Icecrown. I am definitely committed to getting her to 80 so that she can start doing Heroics, Raiding, and Dailies. I can't remember how far into 79 she is, but she is getting there.

Banmidou - He is now Level 57. One level away from starting the quests in Outland. Thats pretty much it for him

Saiyah - She is now level 40! Woot! With the new spells and "Shadowform" leveling should be easier now hopefully.

Roya - She is now level 20! I had started her on her second profession which is Inscription. With all the herbs she has gathered, I was only able to get her up to skill level 134. Herbalism is at 150. I need to gather more higher level herbs to keep going. On the good side. I started to sell the glyphs I have made so far. Even some lower level glyphs are selling well. What I do is I check the AH to see what glyphs that I can make are going for. If they are less than 2G then I don't post them. 4 or more gold I make one and post it. Already made over 100G already. Thats the most gold I ever had on a toon at that level.

So thats pretty much it on my updates. Hopefully next time I post it would be from my new computer. Until next time. Happy questing and Suffer well.

New Computer for Baki and Friends

In about a week from now, Bakihanma and my other alts adventures will be alot better and smoother. I have ordered a brand new computer from Dell today. It will take a week or so to get here. Here are the main specs:

Plus standard mouse and keyboard, 16X DVDR drive, and other goodies. Looking forward to it.

I know that I am behind on updates, but there haven't been much updates lately, but I will post one soon.

Weekly Adventure Update

I am a couple of days late in posting, but here is my update for the week.

This week for Baki was a slow week. I didn't get a chance to do any instancing or raiding. The only thing I have been doing for him this week are dailies. Just mainly dailies. Even doing dailies of factions that I am already exalted with. The big thing this week was me getting my Red Drake from being exalted with Wyrmrest Accord. It cost me 1600g. So I have been doing dailies to make up the gold lost on that purchase, but having my first Drake was worth it.

The next thing I am saving up for is 1K gold for Saiyah. I want her to have Dual Specialization. Holy to be a healer and Shadow for leveling. She is only level 37 right now. She can't get Dual Spec until lvl 40. So hopefully I will have the gold saved up for her by the time she hits 40.

Rena is now 78 and I got her leveling in Storm Peaks starting on the Sons of Hodir questline. Already friendly with them. Got more quests unlock. I can't wait to get her to 80.

Saiyah is coming along great. As already stated above, she is level 37 being triumphant in Scarlet Monestary. Here's the story. I joined a group for SM that had 4 priests and 1 warrior. Me and 1 other priest was Shadow and the other 2 was Holy. So the warrior tanked one Holy priest healed and the remainder priests DPS. We pretty much knocked out the Library and Armory. The coolest thing was I had the both the highest DPS and damage. Not bad huh. Got my Illusionary Rod from this run and Robe of Doan from an earlier run with Baki. So the next stop for Saiyah is Theramore Isle.

Hazuki is in the Outlands! Right when she turned 58, I got her started on the Outland quests in Hellfire Peninsula. Kinda hard for her right now as she is using lvl 40+ Maces. Hope to get upgrades soon.

I actually took a night and worked on Banmidou. Got him to level 54 and finished up the Un'Goro quests that has been sitting in his quest log for almost a year. I really need to get his weapons updated. I have been dual wielding with a level 31 and a level 46 1H sword. I actually got a drop on a good green 2H sword. So, when I finished Un'goro. I went to The Deadmines to train on the 2H sword. Got it skilled up in no time. Next stop in leveling is Felwood.

I would now like to introduce a new character I just started today. A human mage named Roya. I already got her up to Level 11 and finished up all the starter area quests in Elwynn Forest. Why did I start a new character? The reason is that I wanted to give a shot at the 2 professions that I have never done since I started playing Wow. They are Herbalism and Inscription. I haven't started Inscription yet, but I have got Herbalism up to 75 already so far. I wanted to really stock up on the herbs before I started the Inscription profession.

With the introduction of Roya to my lineup, I guess that officially makes me an Alt- a Holic. So thats it for this weeks update. Until next week and happy gaming.

Weekly Adventure Update

Another week of Wow playing comes to an end. Actually, for me its 2 weeks. Did not get a chance to post my update last week, so this week will cover the last 2 weeks. So lets get up to speed.

Raiding and Instancing These past 2 weeks I actually got to run Naxx 25 with my guild. I came in late on the run from 2 weeks ago where we did Construct, Sapphiron, and KT. Last week we started fresh with Arachnid, Plague, and most of Military. With these last 2 runs, Baki got some huge armor upgrades for his tank set including my first Tier 7.5 piece Valorous Redemption Breastplate. These runs also allowed me to purchase some badge gear. Unfortunately the new armor caused my Defense rating to fall way below 540 which is needed to tank. So I had to buy new gems to socket and enchants to reechant my headpiece. All in all they were good runs.

Daily Quests and Reputation - Last week, I finally hit Exalted with Wyrmrest Accord. That took alot of doing the 2 daily quests everyday for them. So, now I am able to purchase the Red Drake Mount. But I don't have enough Gold yet. Need to do more daily quests. So, heres where I stand on my Reputaion grind.

Knights of Ebon Blade - Revered 74% 15597/21000 - 26% to Exalted
Argent Crusade - Revered 11% 2375/21000 - 89% to Exalted
Kirin Tor - Friendly

My Argent Tournament dailies are coming along OK. I still suck at jousting, but I am slowly working on it. Although I am already honored with Sons of Hodir, I am doing the dailies again mainly to save up gold for my drake.

Loremaster - My questing for Loremaster continues. I have completed all of the quests mainly in Western and Eastern plaguelands, all the quests for Scholomance and Strathlome, and got Exalted with Argent Dawn. The next weeks focus will be on finishing up 2 low level areas, Loch Modan, and Wetlands.

Renachan - Didn't do much with Rena these last 2 weeks except for leveling. Trying to finish questing in Zul'Drak with only doing the quests at the Argent Stand. When I hit 78, I am going to take her straight to Storm Peaks to do start the Sons of Hodir quest line and at 79, its on to Icecrown to unlock Shadow Vault and Crusaders Pinnacle. I really want to get her to 80.

Saiyah - She's coming along well. This weeks focus is doing the Scarlett Monestary instance. Baki will be running her through the instance.

Hazuki - I have really been working on her these last 2 weeks. Got her to 58. She is now ready to go to Outland. Hope to do well with her.

So thats it on this weeks update. Until next week and Happy questing

Weekly Adventure Update

Here we are, another week of Wow playing has come and gone. So, lets get up to speed.

Bakihanma

Raiding and Intancing - Last week was kinda slow on raiding. I was able to join a Naxx10 raid that had already done Arachnid and Plague quarter. I got my first foray into the Construct quarter. We were able to down Patchwerk and Grobbulus, although I died on him. We wiped on Gluth. At that time it was so late (After 3am) I had to get to bed for work the next day. I did get some new pants for my DPS set and a couple of Emblems. I also finally was able to complete my first Heroic Dungeon: Gundrak. We wiped a few times but was able to finish the instance. Nothing interesting dropped, but I got a Frozen Orb.

Reputation and Dailies - My dailies are coming along well. I actually got exalted with the Kalu'ak thus completing my dailies with them. I bought the fishing pole and the Pengu pet. Now I need to learn how to fish. Here is where I stand now:

Wyrmrest Accord - Revered 17447/21000 = 83%. 17% more to Exalted
Knights of Ebon Blade - Revered 7886/21000 = 38%. 62%% more to Exalted

No change in Argent Crusade and Kirin Tor. In the Argent Tournament, I am now a Valient. So, I started to work on more Argent quests. I can say this right now, I totally SUCK! at jousting. I just can't get it down. I barely made it for Valient. All I know is that if I can't figure out jousting soon, I am not gonna get very far. *sighs*.

Loremaster - My questing for Loremaster continues. This week, I am concentrating on the Western and Eastern Plaguelands. Here are the reasons.

1. Of course, getting all of the quests done.
2. Getting Exalted with Argent Dawn by running Scholomance and Strathlome many times collecting Scourgestones, Bone Fragments, and Crypt Fiend parts to turn in for rep.
3. Collecting Runecloth for Saiyah's tailoring.

Once I finish the Plaguelands, then its back to Loch Modan and Wetlands to finish those quests.

Thats it for Baki.

Renachan - Nothing much on her but continuing her leveling up. Currently working on quests in Zul'Drak. With a little help from Baki, I was able to get Rena flying. Got her regular flying ability, Cold Weather Flying and got the special DK flying mount. She is now broke with approx 118G. Solution: More questing!

Saiyah - My priest is coming along great! She hit level 35 this week, so now I can go further with her professions of tailoring and skinning. She finished the STV starter quests and now its time to do her next instance: Scarlett Monestary. Baki will be running her through to make sure she has all the goodies from that instance.

Last, but not least: Hazuki- Started working on her again. Got her up to 57. Currently working on starter Plagueland quests. Maybe on one of the many runs of Scholo and Strat Baki does this week, I can take her along.

And thats it for this week. Good luck on your adventures this week, and see you next week.

Weekly Adventure Update

So, another week of Wow playing has come and gone. Its been a good week, too so lets bring you up to speed.

Raiding and Instances On Baki, I actually got into some raids this week with my guild. I got to do OS10, got the 22-slot dragon hide bag from it and 4 Emblems. Also did Naxx10 but only the Arachnid and Plague Quarter. It was my first time in Plague Quarter. When we did the Unclean boss, I got 1-shotted by the stuff coming out of the floor. Not my fault they did not explain the fight to me. But they manage to down him. In the end I finally got enough Emblems to get my first piece of badge gear, Chained Military Gorget, tank necklace. So that puts me back down to 5 Emblems.

On my other characters, I completed Scholomance with Renachan and Sunken Temple with Hazuki. Yep, took her out of retirement. I wanted to start playing with her again. I started with Sunken Temple to do the shaman class quest for that level.

Daily Quests and Reputation - My daily quests are coming along real nicely. Here is where I stand on my reputation leveling:

The Kalu'ak - Revered 18391/21000 = 88%. 12% more to Exalted
Wyrmrest Accord - Revered 13603/21000 = 65%. 35% more to Exalted
Knights of Ebon Blade - Revered 5103/21000 = 24%. 76% more to Exalted

No change in Reputation for Argent Crusade and Kiren Tor. Argent Tournament = meh for now.

Leveling - This past week, I started back up on leveling Renachan to get her to 80. I am at a point in her profession leveling to where she can start Disenchanting Northrend greens and blues to build up her mats for Enchanting. Got her up to 77. Although 77 is the level to start flying, she unfortunatly does not have enough gold to get CWF and her special DK flyer. So, more questing for her.
Did alot of leveling with Saiyah. Got her up to level 34. Working on starter STV quests.

So thats pretty much it for this week. Also note that today's maintenence will feature another patch. 3.1.1a. Until next week

Weekly Adventure Update

Another week of Wow playing has come and gone. With last weeks release of Patch 3.1, two of my characters were able to make huge strides in their professions. So lets get started with Baki.

Patch 3.1 - Of course that was the big thing last week. I did get my dual spec. Primary is Protection and Secondary is Retribution. The two things I really liked about 3.1 besides dual spec and Argent Tournament is swimming mounts (You can even mount underwater. How cool is that!) and 30 minute hearthstones. I don't care about Ulduar raid right now cause I am not geared enough for it yet.

Raids and Instances - Did not do much in Instances this week with the release of 3.1, I was more busy dealing with the new content, so I skipped on doing instances. Maybe this week.

Daily Quests and Reputation - Now that I got Exalted with Sons of Hodir, I started working on the dailies for the Kalu'ak and Ebon Blade, and also added Argent Tournament dailies to my list as well as my continued efforts on Wyrmrest Accord. Heres where I stand on the Wrath factions.

The Kalu'ak - Revered 11791/21000 =56%. 44% more to Exalted
Wyrmrest Accord - Revered 11005/21000 = 52%. 48% more to Exalted
Knights of Ebon Blade - Revered 2892/21000 = 14%. 86% more to Exalted
Argent Crusade - Revered 105/21000 = Less than 1%.
Kirin Tor - Friendly
Silver Covenent - Neutral You get rep with this faction for doing Argent Tournament dailies.

I haven't really done much with Argent Crusade or Kirin Tor. They are pretty much the least of my concerns for right now. Main thing is to get Exalted with Wyrmrest to get a Red Drake Mount.

Loremaster - Worked more on low level quests to get my Loremaster title. I worked on the Dwarf/Gnome starter quests in Dun Morogh and doing Gnomergan with all the quests. This weeks goal - Finish up Dun Morogh, start and get most of Loch Modan completed. This weeks old school instance is Scholomance. Gonna run it with Renachan.

Professions - As stated earlier, with 3.1 there were alot of changes for professions. Baki's professions are Mining and Blacksmithing. This past week, I was finally able to get my Blacksmithing from 263 skill all the way up to 445 skill current. To get to 450, I need to make Titansteel armor and weapons. It kinda sucks as Titansteel has a 20 hour cooldown for each bar made. Also they require Frozen Orbs which can be obtained from Final bosses of Heroic instances and badge vendors.

Thats it for Baki's update.

The only major thing about Rena this week was getting her profession up as well. She has enchanting. With the help of Baki leveling up Blacksmithing, Rena benifited from Disenchanting all of the items Baki made, thus getting enough materials for her enchanting. Currently she is stuck at 346 skill. 4 points away from 350 to get into the Wrath enchanting set. Just need more Arcane Dust. I am still mainly farming cloth for Saiyah.

Saiyah - Only 2 things done last week. Leveled to 31 and getting Gnomergan done. I am gonna start questing this week in usual places for Lvl 30 - 34 . The Mirage Raceway quests, the starter quests in STV, the spy quests in Theramore, and the quests in Southshore dealing with the Murlocs and Naga along the Hillsbrad shoreline. At 35, Scarlett Monestary.

So thats it with this weeks update. Happy questing!
