Your Name Here

Well it seems that Alenko enjoyed the same fast leveling that I did in STV and DUstwallow. He sped through levels 37-40 negating much of the buffer I had made. By the time he catches up, we may be able to run some noteworthy inastances together like Mauradon or some of the Black Rock instances.

I hit level 45 last night by doing a fwe more quests in Feralas. I was a bit dissapointed by the troll witch doctor quest I completed. Collect 2 tree trunks, 6 minerals, 20 sinews and 40(!) metal pieces. The first two were easy and I enjoyed a nearly 100% drop rate. The 20 sinews I got from Hippogryphs in Feralas and I farmed the metal at the same time. The metal had the lowest drop rate... lame since I needed 40. Since I was in the area of the Hippogryphs, I continued my slaughter of their kind to get the metal. A full on long time later, I'm not sure how long but irritatingly long, I finally got piece number 40 and ran off to turn in the quest. I wouldn't have spent so much time on it, except that it was a red quest. It netted me 6600 xp so I was a little pissed. That seemed low for all the pissfarting required but it's done. I think it's part of a multi-branch chain so we'll see what the other troll witch doctor quests get me.

After I hit 45 and did all my turn-ins, I went to level crafts a bit more. I was alraedy startiong to stockpile thick leather and mageweave as well as a bunch of lion and raptor meat and raptor eggs. The heavy leather I had was sufficient for me to hit level 200 and start crafting with thick leather and hides, good thing since I'm already starting to skin off some rugged leathers. I noticed that I had an orange cooking recipe that required clam meat and one that needed crawler meat. These can be farmed at the same time by killing crawlers in Ashenvale. All of my cooking took me to level 124... pretty low and crappily one level short of a new recipe that uses zesty clam meat, another mat that's easy to farm. My mageweave sat since I haven't done the First Aid quest to get my next rank. I dislike the quest so I put it off for far too long. Thankfully, the horde side quest looks a bit easier to do. It's in a larger building and is in one group instead of the U shape that Alliance has to contend with. My final task of the night was to turn-in 60 wool that have been sitting in my bank. That went to the Undercity cloth collector to acquire more rep with Undercity. I'd much prefer the skeletal horse to the chicken mount I have.
