Day 1597 - Warlords of Draenor Day 48

Spend a long night raiding in High Maul.  For the firs time ever, I walk away from there empty handed.  Well, it's bound to happen.  Meanwhile, a lot of my follower mission are failing for no apparent reason.  I have a iLevel 645 weapon quest success rate at 96 and 76 percent failed.  Those quest will eventually cycle back.

Last day of the raid week.  I did my once a week tribute to the Lich King.  Still no mount.  Perhaps I should start doing 25 man heroic soon for money.

After trying out Stables building for 1 day, I realized that only one character needs to do the quests.  So, the hunter gets her barracks, up to level 2 back, and I gets to run taming mission on the rogue.  On my paladin, I got maximum amount of the crystal allowed, so I bought the epic level glove for 15000 unit of crystals.

Finished up, I send my Druid and Death Dnight through LFR.  Druid got 5 pieces of new gears, and Death Knight got 2, plus one new iLevel 645 trinket from the follower mission.

I have to stop leveling my 5 remaining non-100 toons and concentrate on my level 100 for a moment.   I decided to convert the barracks for my rogue and hunter to stables so I can collect the mounts.  And finally, I got the warrior into this week's LFR.  3 pieces of upgrades.

Day 1593 - Warlords of Draenor Day 44

I think I'm going to stop doing the daily holiday quest now.  The main reason why I was spending all of that time flying out from Ironforge to the world boss area is to give my rogue her 2 daggers once she hits level 100.  That has been done, so no real reason to spend all that time again.

Now that my characters all of a good cast of followers, it's taking more and more time to just cycle through and give them missions to do.  Compounding the issue is that some of the mission gave me stuff that they cannot use yet and are really useful when they reach level 100.  Oh the wait.

Even though I don't celebrate Christmas, I still spend a bit of money on myself this year.  Ok it was quite a bit this year, blowing all of my previous Christmas expenses.  Oh well, I can think of it as a birthday gift to myself.

The next couple of days should be a bit free up, so I'll go ahead and level up the rest of my characters.  Going 5 at a time is a bit time consuming.

On the last day of the raid week, I send my remaining 2 level 100 to Highmaul LFR.  The Death Knight got 4 pieces of gear, but no weapon.  Paladin didn't get anything except for a dps cloak that she already have something better.  This coming week is a non-guild raiding week, so I should have plenty of time to do what I want.

Spend 3 hours on the final 2 boss of the raid.  We did get the 6th boss down, and spend some quality time going after the final boss.  I got a tanking ring and got a 2 hander weapon of my bonus loot.  I consider it a good night of raiding.

Day 1583 - Warlords of Draenor Day 34

On the last day of the raid week, I jokingly decided to go into LFR on my main character.  I got onto a raid already in progress, with the first boss dead.  It was far far easier than I anticipated, and this is even with youtube tales of tourist mode on the LFR.  With that in mind, I went ahead and send the rest of my toons through LFR.  My DK got 2 pieces of gears, druid, one, warrior one.  My monk was a couple of iLevel point below the threshold, so I ran one LFD to gear up.  The monk didn't get any gear, but she was the first one to actually got selected to tank.  My druid tanking is very very fragile right now, but I did managed to go through the entire LFR just fine.

After doing a couple of round of Iron Dock, I finished up the Stormwind transmog set.  Here's how my gnome warlock (normally a clothie only class) looks like while riding the Alliance bike.  Ok, she's standing on the Alliance bike.

Stormwind Gnome Warlock on Alliance Bike

I gave my Death Knight a couple of more tries at Silver Tanking proving ground.  Still got stopped at 7/8 wave.  I guess I need a bit more gears.  After that, I took the garrison support mission for the druid and went off to the Iron Horde base on the southern end of Shadowmoon Valley.  I check and I realize that this toon is eligible to queue for Molten Core LFR.  I didn't see any premade, so sign up.  It was a very very long 3 hours of LFR.  I died on every other pull.  At least I got the starter epic helm for my druid.

After doing a random heroic, I realized that I'm 2 non-token pieces away from completing the Stormwind transmog set.  So I went ahead and try to farm Iron Horde at Talador and got about 30 Iron Horde Scraps.  After doing that for about 45 minutes, I decided to alter my method and drag my person all the way up to the entrance of Iron Dock and farm the Iron Horde there on normal mode.  The mobs there are only level 94 elite which my paladin can handle.  I decided to clear all the way up to the second boss and the drop rate is actually somewhat decent.

Since I failed at doing the Garrison invasion with pick up group last time, this time I ask member of the guild for assistance.  They'll also get loot bag if the defense is successful.  It works, but we didn't get anything meaningful.  I started the day doing a quick run through Icecrown and end up finishing up Nagrand story quest lines.

Just for good measure on my gearing, I went ahead and get one of my blacksmith alts to make my paladin her epic quality belt.  It's only a 640 epic belt, and I don't have a way of advancing it.  But it does bring my gear level up to 645 equipped.

Finally got my Inn achievement done, which unlocks level 3 Inn building blueprint.  I was a wee bit underwhelm on the quests that it unlocks.  Just money.

I also ran the Highmaul raid instance with the old guild, now in a new guild.  Tank the first 2 bosses, and managed to get some much needed gears off the second boss (use a bonus roll to get an tanking weapon).  In all, a good day.

Last raiding day of the week.  I did my usual garrison gathering and sending out my followers on mission.  Since I'm pretty much done for the day, I went out to Fireland again to try to get the final boss's hammer.  I didn't get the hammer, but I did get something that's much better, the second mount from the instance, from the firebird boss:

Surprisingly enough the questing through Spires of Arak goes much slower than I anticipated.  Just as my experience have shown, the Tier 16 gears start getting replaced.  By the time I leave this place at level 98, only my heirloom gears should remain.  Getting all of the characters to level 98 to start the expansion's legendary quest is a grind, especially my death knight who finished the same quest as everyone else, but for some reason was short on xp.  Oh well, tomorrow is the dungeon run for the ring.

My current system of leveling my tanking alts are:  Go to the current quest hub, finish it, go back to Garrison and move the next toon to this quest hub.  With this system, I got my character through Gorgrond.  All four are now level 94 and also finished the starter quest for the Legendary quest line for this expansion (ring).

Speaking of the Legendary quest, after I finished my daily crystal grind, I have enough to turn in the crystal part of the quest and hop onto the last heroic dungeon part (there are 4 heroic dungeon involved in Part 1 of the quest chain).  One last jaunt through Nagrand and I'm now with my new shinny iLevel 680 rings (I have to buy one for both of my spec).

And my 4 tank alt leveling starts in earnest.  I still have to put in my daily Apexus Crystal farming and Inn daily quest, whenever applicable.  I managed to finished off significant part of Shadow Moon main storyline quest for all of my tanking alts with all of them hitting level 92, and a garrison upgrade to level 2.

With the 10th Anniversary Warcraft event coming up, I thought it was high time to get the rest of my characters up to level 100 to get their iLevel 540 helm.  God only knows how going back to 40 man raid works.

I managed to get 4 of my toons level up to 91 (mainly as a side effect of getting them up to getting the profession building and getting their profession's daily cooldown started).  I'm going to need to book some time to dedicate to alt leveling.

Day 1555 - Warlords of Draenor Day 6

It didn't take me long to get my Paladin up to 100.  Once there, I immediately tried to upgrade my garrison to level 3.  I'm short 423 garrison resources.  So I decided to juggle things around a bit and try gearing out my tanking set.  Turns out, the damage dealing set I've been building during the leveling IS my current tanking set.

While doing my leveling in Nagrand, I ran across a rare/elite level 100 mob.  Fortunately for me, someone other group is already going after this boss level mob.  Dropped a single loot for everyone,  Motted Meadowstomper.  My first new mount for the expansion.

One thing I didn't do optimally is to do my legendary ring quest as soon as I can.  It has an item that's available as early as level 98.  Now that I'm 100, I went back and ran it again.  It will involve quit a bit of item obtained in Dungeon.

After my first Skyreach dungeon (both for loot and quest item), I got hit with the Character not found boss.  That took 30 minutes to clear.  I'm now owner of both starter ring for tanking and damaging dealing.

After learning yesterday's lesson, I decided not to log out of the game as much as I can help it.  For a change, I'm concentrating on just my main character, trying to get her up to level 100, all the while building up my garrison.  I noticed that at Spire of Arrok, my gear started to get replace quickly.  It started in of all places, an side quest to feed a ghost dog biscuit.  But the resulting upgraded necklace is quit good.

I have to leave quit a bit of quest on each zone as I go to the new zones.  Thus far the Spire's Outpost have been a bust.  I bought toy, pet, bag, but no garrison resources.

Before I doze off for the night, I managed to get to Nagrand, pick up the fishing Death Knight companion, and hit level 99.  So much grinding, so little time.  Lets hope the queue boss tonight will be better.

What I did managed to do before going to bed is pushing my main character to level 92.  On a separate note, I also brought my druid who was locked out of Draenor for most of the day due to her not able to get the quest.  After I put my warrior through the obtain the Garrison run, I went back and try again to go through the Dark Portal.  Prior to doing that, I ran random dungeon twice as tank.  I got Bloodmaul Slag Mines both time.  As the level 90 leveling dungeon, this instance is scaled for iLevel 483 (boost gear), it was fairly easy.

Well, we're currently having a mandatory 4 hour maintenance, hopefully fixing some of the problem in the first day.

I also try to do 10 Heroic Blackwing Descent.  Couldn't do the final boss.  On 10 Heroic Bastion of Twilight, I got to the bonus boss, but she despawn.

Just for good measure, I also send my Death Knight through Heroic Lich King, which does contain a one shot mechanism.  No mount, but will continue to try.

My last run of the night was supposed to be my Rogue, sadly she have never finish normal 25, which means I'll have to run that on this raid lock out week.

Just for my own curiosity sake, I took my paladin through 25 man heroic icecrown.  It was significantly harder than the 10 man normal.  I got all the way up to Liche King, and there I wipe.  It was getting late, so I'll try that again on another day.

With the new raid week reset, I finally got the 4th piece of heroic Tier 16 dps glove that the paladin wants.  After getting prompted by several video on how easy it is to get the Brood of Alysrazor achievement with the Darkmoon Faire.  And it gave me a nice new account wide toy Blazing Wings.

Here's how Dianora looks with her new flame wings:

Rather nice looking isn't it?

After sending my Paladin and Death Knight through Garrosh gear farming, Ordos kill and Fireland farming (nothing worth while dropped), it was time for my Druid.  Since I'm a bit short on time, I only have time to send her through Naxx to get her Thunderheart on a Stick.  And lo and behold, on the first of the 2 possible boss that can drop it, the staff dropped.

Here's how she looks on Worgan:

And how she looks on Human:

I'll do the other farming run later.

Ok, final picture.  Worgen Druid on Fire Hawk with Flame Wing over Fireland Entrance:

Day 1541 - Warlords of Draenor Beta Day 130

I send the remaining characters through Garrosh BoA weapon farming.  Surprisingly enough, I managed to get 2 weapons out of 4 I send.  Neither of the weapons are well suited for the characters that got them.  In all, I now have a tanking weapon that I can use on my Paladin all the way to level 100.

Day 1540 - Warlords of Draenor Beta Day 129

Today is the last day of the Beta.  Albeit, I delete it off the hard drive just the same.

I had enough time to send two toons through the entire Siege of Orgrimmar.  I was trying to dps on my warrior, but due to tanks dropping out, I end up tanking 3/4 of the way through and I had to do it in two different raid.  A lot of non-gear pieces drop, and I was able to raise the Fury set by quite a bit.  So much so I actually have to spend a lot of time farming frogs for lesser fortunate coins.

I also gave my shadow priest a shot at a new shoe, new trinket.  I didn't get either, but I did get a tier 16 head token piece which allows me to replace the LFR shoulder, thus upgrading my gears by quit a bit.

Finished up sending the rest of my toons through Fireland, and now for the rest of the toons through Dragon Soul.  I send 4 toons through, and 3 of them got through.  All three of them have tanking spec.  I have 3 characters left to try.  I don't have high hope for 2 of them.  Hopefully shadow priest can self heal herself through.

Day 1538 - Warlords of Draenor Beta Day 127

After getting my paladin and rogue completely through Dragon Soul, I decided to gave everyone else a chance.  First up is the Death Knight.  It didn't help that in the midst of the hardest part of the raid instance (Spine of Deathwing), real life trick or treaters came knocking on the door.  Took me a couple of tries and I just gave up and went into tanking spec.  Tanking spec does have one advantage over my dps spec, they cannot be dazed, which is kind of important for this fight, as I need to move back and forth to avoid getting toss off the back of the dragon.  I got some transmog weapon, but no dragon mount.

Day 1537 - Warlords of Draenor Beta Day 126

I got the 500 candy token in the morning, and bought the custom.  And then I pretty much stop doing the candy run.  Really no point.  I still queue up for the holiday boss event on my tanks, but other than that, I've stopped doing all of the events.

Here's how my paladin look like standing next to the King of Stormwind:

No point not having Thunderfury in that picture.

On other front, I went on two different raids with my druid.  While she didn't get the agility ring she was hoping to upgrade with, she did get the stamina trinket.

I also send my hunter through Fireland and got an transmog bow.

Day 1536 - Warlords of Draenor Beta Day 125

I spend most of the time on the rogue this time.  She still have two timeless isle rings that could use upgrade.  After I signed up with a heroic Siege raid, the only thing I actually got is an upgraded boots.  It's an upgrade, but not the one I really want.  I also finished up Dragon Soul and Fireland raid on this toon.  The rogue quest token is coming along slowly, even with a full raid.

Day 1535 - Warlords of Draenor Beta Day 124

After I watch more videos on how to do the Spine of Deathwing, I gave it another whirl after the raid week reset.  And true to form, the final encounter of Dragon Soul is significantly easier than that.

I also send 3 characters through Fireland raid.  The druid is looking for her fire kitty staff, and the two plate wearers are looking for the 2 handed mace from the final boss.  They're still looking.

On other front, I send my hunter back to Blackwing Descent again.  The previous time I tried to tame the hydra boss, I end up killing it by mistake.  This time I'm better prepared.  Make no mistake, he still hits very hard, but tame it I did.

Just after taming

And now in its full glory

It's a good day at Warcraft.

Day 1534 - Warlords of Draenor Beta Day 123

I tried to get through Spine of Deathwing 4-5 times.  Still didn't get through.  On second thought, I take as many of my toons in Dragon Soul as I can and call it a day.

I also tried to tame the boss from Blackwing Descent.  Unfortunately, I got too sloppy and the boss died...

Day 1533 - Warlords of Draenor Beta Day 122

Ran a couple of my tanks through the first couple of wings of raid in hope of getting some additional gear.  The Death Knight did get the dps trinket, albeit, from the current text, its effectiveness will be lessen past level 91.  I did get an warforged 2 hander, which should come in handy for now.

I also found out that ALL of the Fireland tier pieces are available for sale by gold.  Thus far, I've only committed my warlock to try out her Fireland look.  My warlock was able to get into a pretty group from Thokk to the final boss.  I didn't get the ring I was farming for at Thokk, but did pick up an upgraded shoulder tier piece.  Another fully 553 tier 16 toon.

I've also transmog my mage and hunter into Fireland tier gear look.  I may do the same with the warrior in the future, but that's not a priority.

I've been running a bunch of my toons through ICC25.  Good easy money.  After finding out all of the Fireland tier pieces can be bought with gold, I need more of it than ever.
