fly fast, little bear!

Oursie hit 80 yesterday, and I promptly bought her fastest flying.  I think maybe I should do so for Infi as well...

Did the last half level or so digging up archeology sites.  Might do some more of that :)

Before buying the fastest flying, was in the 225k range... not so far from the yak now!

yay knitten raided... sort of

So a couple weeks ago, I decided I was raiding too much.  As we acquired more guild members, it became possible to have two new tags per week on ToT - and I was raiding both.  Too much, I was raiding 5 nights a week.  I actually fell asleep prior to a raid, and G ended up going instead and let me sleep.  Which is when I decided I didn't want to raid more than two nights in a row.

That part worked.  Unfortunately, since we have proportionately fewer healers than we do DPS, Alter gets to raid a lot as a healer.   Which is much less fun than DPS with either of them, and Knitten hasn't raided in 2 weeks.  I kind of whined at G (feeling frustrated about not playing the character who is theoretically my main), and he worked really hard to get the Friday alt-gear raid going - so we went to Terrace :)  Much fun, even if we had a couple of pugs, Knitten got ranked in WoL for Protectors kills (#88 BM hunter, without flask and without panda banquets woot), and while we didn't get to Sha (the other tank had never done the raid normal, but seemed to pick things up pretty well; we had some healer dispel dysfunction on the first boss especially, Mar had to switch to his main and heal (hahaha) instead of DPS on his shaman, etc), and I didn't get a Real Taoren of Lei Shi, it was still a lot of fun - I actually rather like that raid.

G also got Phara to come - he who made a forum post a week or two earlier basically saying he didn't feel like he was a good enough player to raid any more so therefore he might just quit the guild cos he's not good enough and therefore nobody likes him (not true)... but part of his problem is lack of gear.  I think G managed to talk him into signing up for the new tags ToT as well, which would be pretty awesome.

Infi got a nifty 516 hat in her scenahero box today.  She also finished her Sigils quest... will go kill Sha in LFR next week with G's hunter.  Starting to get gear for a tank spec so I can learn to tank dungeons with her - faster queue times :P  Slowly making progress on K2tog's valor points.  Alter's a couple of Secrets shy of her fancy hat shiny, and Knitten got herself a couple Runestones (need to go back and kill one  boss I missed).  Oursie is up to level 76 now, and needs to do some herb farming to get her alchemy up to speed.

Knitten's been selling boatloads of 450 and 458 armor, and about as much 496 armor as I have Harmonies for.  Going to stop with the agi leather and mail gloves - Coreff's selling those - but that's still 6 patterns I can keep working on.  Alter's slowly taking over the 476s.  Infi and Mata's prospecting is making a pretty good amount of gold as well.  Got myself a mammoth yesterday (Justice Point commendationed Knitten's way to Kirin Tor exalted for the discount :P).  Next goal:  308k so that when I buy the Yak (108k with guild discount),  I'll still have 200k :)  I think it's coming faster than I expect.

moved

There was a character services sale on this week, so Knitutog and Infiknit made the move to Suramar to join the rest of the knitters.  Poor Gemi and Stitch and Pan and Machi.  No more 90s to support them.  OTOH, the idea is to play k2tog and Infi a bit more - make some progress on their legendary questline, some more gear, etc.  Infi did the Northern Barrens quests and Shou gave her the latent kor'kron hat, so she has a shiny new hat now \o/

Alter's done not too bad in the gear department.  Successfully healed Durumu and Primordius; we had some good tries on Dark Animus last night.

Oursie's up to 71 - almost 72 - now.  Got 4 out 8 pieces of the Nordrassil set this week when Wolfi and Ju rushed us through Tempest Keep and Serpentshrine (and Kara).  Yay :)

Almost back to the 200k mark after buying the Haunting Spirits to make Alter's fancy new hat and boots (I bought them between 7-8k each, they're down to around 6k now... heh).  Infi's prospecting is useful, but still a lot of it is from the leatherworking market.  Need to keep farming those harmonies... and I may consider planting enchanting materials on one of the farms cos while I don't have a big problem keeping ethereal shards and sha crystals in stock, the spirit dusts and mysterious essences are a bit more of a problem.

Read about a nerf to hunter Stampede - we'll see how that works out (make all pets called by Stampede do auto-attacks only - no special abilities.  Gah. Stupid PvP nerfs).
