To my joy, my new pet, the red wind serpent, will eat conjured bread. /glee This works out well for me as it seems their happiness goes down more quickly in instances. I imagine it is related to how much work (read: fighting) they do and of course pet deaths aren't horribly uncommon. Granted I can buy a stack of bread for it to eat in Shattrath for about 2 gold, but I'm already shelling out money with every shot... and once I'm done, there's still a repair bill. I'm probably not far behind the tanks for my final costs of a dungeon. That is for the time being of course since their repair bills skyrocket as they get epic gear. I'm fairly certain mine isn't wearing equally fast since I take very little damage.

My flying snake still has no name. I had thought of some names but nothing elates me. Macabre is probably the front runner, but only time will tell.

Buru, Alenko and I ran two instance last night. With the help of two other people, of course, we ran Auchenai Crypts (sp?) and Setthek Halls. The crypts were up first and I hadn't run this before. It was pretty uneventful as the only thing I gained was XP and a drop or two. The drops were nice for casters. One drop was utter crap, probably Shaman gear, so it got sharded and I won the roll. I think I will just hold on to it for enchanting mats. There was a ring that dropped from the final boss that was more hunter than anything. I rolled on it but was still unsure if I'd use it. The stats were trade-offs, e.g. lose AP and gain crit, but I liked my rings better.

The matter was moot after running Setthek Halls. The last boss there dropped a very nice ring with much better stats. Inside, I completed a quest to collect some random crap from bird men and was rewarded with Terrok's Quill, a polearm stacked with 54 AGI. It dropped my AP by about 16 but rewarded me with about .5% more crit. My current crit rating unbuffed is about 20.3%. Better than my NElf and I think my DPS and AP are already as good if not better.
After the two instances, the three of us knocked out some group quests, one long chain in particular, and then logged. A very swell night indeed.
