Day 909 - Mists of Pandarian Day 130

No games today.  Work related issue basically took out all of my time.

Day 908 - Mists of Pandarian Day 129

Trying something differently.  Instead of queuing up for Terrace of Endless Spring, I opted to signup for the first available LFR instance.  The queue is much shorter, and my aim is mostly for those characters that haven't finish the Black Prince quest lines.  Some of my characters have 14 tokens from the latter half of the LFR system, but only 5 for the early half.  This will help address the imbalance.

Day 907 - Mists of Pandarian Day 128

After 2 months of steady weight gain, I decided that something needs to be done.  I know what I've done to get this weight gain.  It's pretty simple to stop it.  Stop eating carbohydrate.  This means stop with the bread from Chinese bakery.  Cut out on the noodle in the weekend.  And I'll probably end up with different meals with the rest of the household.  I've done it for 2 years.  It shouldn't be hard to go back on the wagon.

I also end up spending a good chunk of time yesterday just doing crop planting and harvesting for Tillers.  With the new system in place, getting exalted with them took much less time than I remember it.  I've already got 3 toons exalted with them and 1 with 4 plot of lands.  Time for that character to start planting songbell.

Day 906 - Mists of Pandarian Day 127

End of the raid week for Warcraft.  I end up doing 3 different session of LFR.  The quality of the raider is as you'd expected for the end of the week, but I was somewhat pleasantly surprised at the tanks that actually did their job.  Perhaps my expectation is so low.

Surprisingly enough the Tillers faction is actually fairly easy to level up.  I'm concentrating on planting Jade Squash and Witchberries to make Jade Witch Brew.  At least its a fairly easy way of leveling up cooking.

Now that I'm farming Tillers reputation quests in earnest, I've set all of my home to the town inn.  It the added benefit of being near the Silk Field that allows my tailors to make their daily Imperial Silk.  If I need to go to auction, I can always have either the paladin or the mage to do that.

Day 903 - Mists of Pandarian Day 124

Not much to report.  My luck with loot this week have been limited to the druid, who got 2 pieces of Tier 14.  both from Terrace of Endless Spring.  The 2 piece set bonus is somewhat lacking when compared to the other class.

Day 902 - Mists of Pandarian Day 123

Tillers time. Now that I'm pretty much done with Operation Shieldwall, the only other factions that yields some sort of meaningful return is both Tillers and Anglers. Since I want to start farming for the Spirit of Harmony, this is pretty much the only guarantee method.

Day 901 - Mists of Pandarian Day 122

Now that I'm actually better geared, I ran quit a few scenario and they turn out much more enjoyable.  Well, that's what I'll be doing when I ran out of LFR to do.

Day 900 - Mists of Pandarian Day 121

A new raid week.  Since I'm also on-call this week, I'm not getting as much done as I would like.  However, I did managed to get two of my characters through LFR today, and my shadow priest managed to get her 4 piece bonus.  I won't have much chance to test much out.  Next up on the LFR list is the druid.

Day 899 - Mists of Pandarian Day 120

Running LFR at the end of the raid week always brings out the really bad casuals.  I have to abandon one Will of the Emperor raid due to people unclear on the concept of the fight.  Lets hope a new raid week brings better result.

Albeit, this week have been good.  Some of my characters are now support tier set bonus.  My warlock is currently having 4 piece bonus.  Unfortunately for me, she is one of the 3 characters that have reach exalted with Shieldwall, which means she's getting pushed to the back of the queue for LFR.

With most of my toons running out of Operation Shieldwall rep grind to do, I'm probably going to park all of them near Half Hill in Valley of the Four Winds to do Tiller quests and it's also reasonably close for my tailors to do daily transmutation of Imperial Silk.

American Red Cross really wants my blood. After much prodding, I went this morning (for a 7:15AM appointment) to get my blood drawn. It also went much faster than I remember it, from needle going in until I stand up is less than 15 minutes. We'll do that again in 2 months. My warlock is not the first of my toons to have 4 piece tier 4. Didn't get much of a chance to test drive the 4 piece bonus, but the rest of the sets look good.

Didn't get a whole lot of things done today, despite taking the whole day off from work. That's what going to the airport does to your schedule. 116/61/67 91 mg/DL 178lb

Day 895 - Mists of Pandarian Day 116

And now all of my toons are revered with Shieldwall. I'll probably continue to do this faction grind while queueing for LFR. In the meantime, I'll fill up the hours with Anglers and Tillers factions. With patch 5.2 on the horizon, yet another faction to grind. 116/72/64 88 mg/DL 175.2lb

Day 894 - Mists of Pandarian Day 115

Dianora is done with Operation Shieldwall. And with it, 2 mounts from the faction. The rest of my characters are mostly up to revered status, which is where the reputation gear is gated at. Should be done tomorrow. 111/66/61 94 mg/DL 175.6lb

Day 893 - Mists of Pandarian Day 114

With the cutscene quests in addition to the dailies, Dianora is almost done with Operation Shieldwall. After that, I'm probably going back to Tillers until the next patch comes up. 108/69/57 89 mg/DL 175.8lb

Day 892 - Mists of Pandarian Day 113

Death Knight Mage and Warlock hit Revered today. That means they're getting sideline in so far as rep grind goes. At least no on the priority list. More to come tomorrow. 112/70/52 93 mg/DL 174.8lb

I only managed to get about 2 hours of gaming time tonight.  Well, the weekend is ahead of me.

Day 887 - Mists of Pandarian Day 108

I managed to get my hunter and druid through the Terrace of Endless Spring LFR tonight.  Though the queue time is somewhat unbearable.  In the hunter's case, I actually managed to finished up Shieldwall, Angler, August Celestials, and Tillers dailies before getting call.  She did get two piece of loots so that was good.

The druid had an inverse circumstance.  She was on her way to the Shieldwall dailies when the queue pop up.  Didn't get a single piece of loot.  By then, it was already late, so I call it a night.

111/72/67 87 mg/DL 175.6lb

Day 886 - Mists of Pandarian Day 107

New raid week, and new raids instances to run.  I've opted to continue to do Shieldwall dailies on my main character (she's the only human character with the reputation gain bonus) and rotate in characters with the lowest reputation.  In between doing these, I'll also be signing them up for LFR.

Day 885 - Mists of Pandarian Day 106

Last day of the Warcraft week.  I didn't have time to run every one of my character through Shieldwall dailies, so I only use the ones with the fewest reputation.  For them, I also ran them through Terrace of Endless Spring where some of them actually got some gears.

Pretty good day of raiding today.  I managed to get all of my characters through the latter half of Heart of Fear and got a few characters through Terrace of Endless Spring.  Both warlock and shadow priest are now wearing 2 piece Tier 14 with pretty good bonus to go with it.

I didn't get much gaming done today.  Spend the whole day at traffic school.  The rules have changed since the last time I took it.  Now they actually require a test to get certified.  I got 100%.

Day 879 - Mists of Pandarian Day 100

The Temple of White Temple dailies finally reset to their second set of challengers allowing me to get the achievement this morning.  It's weird in that I've been doing the temple quests since November, and only now did I see the second sets of challengers.

Now that I've went through Heart of Fear a couple of more times (former half 7 times, latter half 2 times), I think I got the gist of it.  I'm pretty sure none of my characters are ready to tank it.
