Eye of the Storm

ugh. On the edge of Outlands the Blood Elves need an area of Netherstorm called the Eye of the Storm. I don't know why we're there, something about the elves disgusting need for magic. At each corner is a tower, capturing a tower is done by just standing there... simple... except for the five other guys trying to crush in my head. There is also a flag to capture at a tower that is possesed by the horde side.

There seem to be two strategies to win, capture three towers and defend them, or capture two towers and capture the flag often. The second one will only work if you have a good team for retrieving the flag in rounds. Of course having more towers captured makes the horde side win faster. I guess the Alliance just gives up after a while...

I fight though, the Elves gives nice rewards for helping them in the Eye. I need a better axe and shield. So soon I will have ___ and ___. Then I will be crushing heads!

And We're back...

New posts starting shortly...

Closed for a few months

We are closed for a little bit. Needing to catch up on bills to Goblins. Catch me in June.

Into the Badlands...

Ugh... My armour looks like crap and I hate this place.

I've come down to Kargath, an outpost in the middle of a special no-where called the "Badlands". Fiendhammer told me he saw some firebloom down here and that's what I need so I'm here. Yes, It's unusual to find a warrior that dabbles in herbs and alchemy, but I have a talent for it. Maybe it's a part of my former life but I don't remember it. When I try, I see a grey veil.

As part of my trek to this barren land, I hit the auction house in the UnderCity for some new armour. My old stuff was beaten and worn from my time in the Swamp of Sorrows. Trying to help the orcs at Stonard. Another outpost in the middle of no-where. I'll ask Fiendhammer why Orcs make it a point to take over useless places in swamps and deserts. My new armour though is peiced together from various bargin bins and what I could afford so it all looks mismatched and weird. If I had to breath I know I'd never be using this helm b/c it's totally suffocating.



Anyway I'll let you know how it all turns out in this barren desert land.

Finding Home

When I was alive, before the army of the Scourge mutilated my body and soul turning me into a thoughtless flesh-eater and the undead of the Forsaken freed me from that life of mindless brain-eating, I was a herder of cattle. I had two thousand stock and a prosperous ranch. My wife was just beginning to show with our third child. My two boys were young and strong and I was the proud parent. I would ride the range checking my stock, driving back wolves and the occasional other predator. The sun was at my back the wind was brisk and there was no tomorrow, only the pleasant knowledge of a a future for my family growing stronger...

That was ripped from me by the war... I have spent my time wandering the earth since my new un-life, and I believe I was always searching for my home. My previous home was burnt & ruined by the scourge and I don't even want to go back. My heart would break seeing the burned out shell of what I had.

...and now I have come to Nagrand in the Outlands. Through a portal to a burning fiery shore, full of war and turmoil, demons trying the break through the gate and a sparse desolate land. From there to a swamp filled with giant mushrooms and a musky spore-laden stench of rot and decay. I came through all, to Nagrand, and I don't want to leave.

There are vast fields dotted with trees and lakes. Giant Clef-hoof Bulls and the deer-like Talabuk roam wild on the plains. I see vast plains, feel the sun on my back and believe I am finished looking for home.

Yeti's Suck...

So I traveled to a place called WinterSpring. It's frozen forested area, but with hotsprings all around, it supports an abundance of life, including Yeti's.

I was hired by a goblin in Everlook (a goblin founded city like Gadgestan in Tanaris) to get some Thick Yeti Hides from the Ice Thistle Yeti's just south of the city.

I found the Yeti's and their cave and I killed Yeti's...



and I killed more yeti's...



and I killed more yeti's...



and I kept killing, running out of food and bandages and sharpening stones, but only getting 3 yeti hides after killing approximately 70 yeti's. I had to check but it turns out the yeti hides only come off the very basic yeti's an I was killing the higher level Matriarch and Patriarch Yeti's. I was pissed. An hour wasted, because yeti's usually only have a few silver coins on them. I did find two thorium veins for mining in the cavern, but other than that it was a big ass waste of time...

After going back to the lower level yeti's it took me 15 mins to get the yeti hides.

And then the damn goblin sent me back to get perfect yeti horns from those same matriarchs and patriarchs that I'd been killing for the past hour with not much to show for it.

Eventually it all turned out OK, the goblin gave me a slightly used mechanical yeti to keep. I don't think it will last very long, but it's cute and tough in a fight.

I got stronger just before going on this mission (ding 57). After part one of the quest chain and an hour of killing yeti's , I was 1/3 of the way to 58, just by killing yeti's... damn yeti's
