Vacation Is Nearing the End

I hit level 35.25 last night and had a pretty good evening (read morning past midnight). I started out at 33 (I think) and wanted to get that spiffy new hat from T Bluff. On my way out to Growless Cave to summon and kill Frostmaw, I came across 5 !'s in Tarren Mills. Most of the quests were in the vicinity of the Growless Cave Yeti so I knocked them out:
  • Kill the traitorous UD held at Lordemere Interment Camp
  • Collect worn stones from newly dead Dalaran citizens
  • Kill 6 Dalaran Summoners and 12 Elemental Slaves
  • Get some low drop rate bracers from said Ele' Slaves
  • Find the wand of an unsuccessful lich
  • Re-energize said wand in 3 flame braziers
  • Stick wand in graveyard of Southshore
  • Skin, Skin, Skin (no it wasn't Wet T-shirt night at the T Mills Inn. That would be pretty nasty, might I add: decaying boobs of the UD, green and blue boobs of the orc and trolls, and cow boobs?!?!) needed more mats for Leather Working
I also headed to the Uplands to kill Baron Vardus for a WANTED quest. That earned me a pretty red dress which I promptly sold for 47 silver. Look quest givers, I know it may seem impersonal to give money as a reward, but wtf am I gonna do with a dress that grants +23 fire damage? Go on an Immolation Trap rampage? No. Though it retrospect, I shoulda tried it.
Anywho... I finally made it back to T Bluff to get my hat with a gain of 4 agi to the ass-lookin hat I had. By this time, I was almost 35 and drooling at the sight of the new crossbow in my pack and the first 20% chance for my pet to proc frenzy. Used HS to jet back to Grom'gol and kill a few Lashtail Raptors. Track Beasts reminded me of the croc skin series from booty bay. I saw Elder Saltwater Croc, the final croc, on my radar ran over to target him to guesstimate if I could beat him. Lo and behold, they knocked his gold dragon off. He was now a 38 instead of a 38 elite.I finished up step two in the chain and headed back to kill him. Instead of a harrowing fight that would use all my resources (were he still elite), I killed him while using a crossbow at level 15 skill and had Aspect of the Cheetah active the whole time :P It took 3 shots to apply the first Serpent Sting lol. Cake. So let's review: new pants (yesterday), new hat, new crossbow and new boots. Time for bed.
