Real life has been so hectic lately I've had no time to post about my life in WoW. I recently boosted my baby shaman in Aggramar which has been awesome because she went from 483 ilvl to 515 in less than a week. I'm working on her as I type, trying to get her to 531 so I can do Flex 4 with Uprising tonight. She's been very fortunate with gear, so hopefully I can get a few more pieces today.
I've almost given up on my DK entirely, I just can't seem to have any luck acquiring gear for her :( I'll keep trying, but my focus has shifted entirely to the baby shaman, who I'm having a blast playing!
In real life, Izzy and I have been working hard to get our business up and running. And thus far it's going well, with a little more work on a weekly basis I can stay home with the kids without financial worries! Most of the work we've gotten so far has been by word of mouth, so now I'm working on our Etsy shop and Facebook page and soon our website. They are a work in progress, but you get the picture.
I was recently asked to make a guild banner for Uprising for Warlords of Draenor, but I'll wait for them to put it up on the site before showing that to you all :) I'm very please with how it turned out though and I hope the guild likes it as well.
Anyway, back to grinding LFRs and drawing up designs while I wait for queues to pop!
The little shaman I made over at Aggramar is now level 43, she finally has Earth Shield, Healing Wave and Earthliving Weapon, making her feel like a true resto shaman! I've played her a total of 1 day and 2 hours now and I'm having a blast. I love leveling up characters and seeing as shamans are my favorite I find any excuse I can to ignore all other toons just to be on her :)
She's got about 1k gold now, I would have had more but I spent some on over priced glyphs :( I made her a Jewelcrafter/Miner. Since she is the only toon I have on this server I need her to be self sufficent and I'm very capable of making a decent amount of gold with those professions. Once she hits 90, I'll switch the mining to enchanting.
It's difficult to level up professions with all these BoAs, you end up leveling too fast to keep up with them.
So now at level 43 I've had to go back to level 20 zones to catch up on my mining.
In other news, I spent some time yesterday on the Timeless Isle with my lonely DK trying to get her some gear. I did my best to farm some lesser coins and not die to mobs or horde, I did ok against mobs, not so good with the Horde however lol. I did manage to sneak in a few hits at rares while the Horde was attacking them and I was able to acquire a few more timeless pieces that way. I also manage to turn in my coins and go back to Ordos and the Celestials for a roll. Ordos didn't want to give up anything else to me this week, but the Celetials smiled upon me and I received tier gloves! I now have enough gear to do ToT LFR which means that by next week I should be able to do SoO LFR and hopefully join my friends in Aggramar for their Flex group on Friday :)
Anyway, I'm off to do more mining... Hope you're all having a great weekend!
My friends in Uprising over at Aggramar are gearing up and working to put together a raid team, and I give them huge props for doing this towards the end of an expansion, I know what a great undertaking that is. So I was thinking about helping them out with Flex and such but realized that the only alliance character I had left was my lonely DK on Eredar. I decided to finally level her up after leaving her at 87 for almost 8 months.
But now what?!?! Her item level is not even high enough to do the first LFR :( I had a few timeless pieces laying around which I immediately sent to her and Ordos was good to her gifting her with Remnar's Ruinous Girdle. I'm still 10 item levels short, hopefully a few more heroics and some more timeless pieces will set me up for LFRs in the next couple of days.
So if you're on Aggramar on Alliance side and looking for a social raiding guild then please check them out. They're a great bunch! I've felt nothing but welcomed in their guild, Uprising and if you join them I'm certain you will enjoy their company as much as I have been :)
A few days ago I decided to make a character on Ian's server to reciprocate the one he has on ours. I met Ian some month's back through this blog, and over the weekend I finally got to meet his wife which he's talked to me so much about :) When he heard I had made a baby shaman and join his guild I received an in-game mail which read:
Included in the mail were 4 Netherweave Bags and 500g to help me along. So as soon as baby Rhy hit level 10 she made the long journey to Stormwind where she now resides and has begun the quest in Westfall.
So thank you to my new friends in Aggramar for helping me get started on this new server and making me feel welcome in your guild. I'm looking forward to leveling some toons there and hopefully even running some raids with your team when I can.
