Day 3516 - Shadowlands Day 37

I actually got the normal raid done ahead of schedule by joining a guild run that seem to know what they're doing.  I got one trinket that's much harder to use than the lower iLevel one I'm currently using.  Still, that complete run unlocks all of the iLevel 200 gears slot from raid Great Vault.  Now just going about to grind the Mythid +.

Day 3515 - Shadowlands Day 36

I was able to get an cloak upgrade from Great Vault and another legendary memory from the 4th World Boss.  The world boss also dropped a cloak, too bad it's not better than the cloak from the vault.  I spend the rest of the night doing Maw weekly, albeit, I didn't finished it as I hit Eye of the Jailor level 5 after doing most of them.  I also got the weekly Torghast done.  There's supposed to be an extra follower in Torghast, and I've been trying to farm for him, without success.  I'll try later.

Day 3514 - Shadowlands Day 35

On the last day of the raid week, I went on another PuG group.  This time, I stick around for about 3 hours as they finished the last 4 bosses.  No loot, but this unlocks the other 2 normal raid slot in the Great Vault.  The battle pet did drop from the final boss, unfortunately I didn't get it.

The Paladin got exalted with the remaining 2 Covenants, which provided the characters 2 more iLevel 200 pieces that's actual upgrades.  Did a couple of more Mythic+, got some borderline upgrades.

I was able to get a couple of level appropriate key dungeons done.  No real upgrade, although, I'm getting close to hitting exalted with 2 remaining Covenants, so their exalted gear should be available for me.

Day 3510 - Shadowlands Day 31

Continued to do Mythic+.  I was able to get a +8 done on time, which should help with Great Vault next week.  Also finished up the other wing of Torghast, tanking it this time.  Perhaps I should try soloing it in the future with my current gear.

Day 3509 - Shadowlands Day 30

I did one Theater of Pain +7.  Didn't finish it in time, but it's good for next week's great vault.  The 7+ extra content is a wee bit harder than the previous week's.  I also went onto two PUGs to look at Council of Blood.  Didn't finish it, but at least I got to see the final phase.

Day 3508 - Shadowlands Day 29

I picked an iLevel 210 cloak from the Great Vault as it offers an upgrade to both Retribution and Holy spec.  There was no loot from the World Boss except anima.

I join another group to do the raid, and managed to get 6 out of 10 boss down, receiving one piece of upgrade that's once again good for Retribution and Holy.

I did a couple of more Mythic Plus as well as Mythic 0.  In one of the Mythic 0, I managed to upgrade the healing weapon.  I'm still not ready to heal much with it.

Day 3506 - Shadowlands Day 27

I went ahead and join another PuG Raid to get some normal raiding done.  I actually did ok, chalking up #1 on DPS for 2 fights.  I was traded with a trinket that turns out to be suboptimal.

With the group I'm running with taking a break for 3 week, I went about doing as much Mythic+ dungeons with weapons drop as I can stand.  Finally I got the 2 hander from Mists +5.

Day 3503 - Shadowlands Day 24

The loot drop in M+ is truly awful.  It's worse when you don't finish it on time.  In all, I got one ring that I don't really need.  I finished up the Upper Reach 8 of Torghast after Blizzard nerfed the content by a wide margin.  Onto next week.

Day 3502 - Shadowlands Day 23

After doing Mists of Tirna Scithe multiple times for the weekly event, I got an iLevel 210 shoulder.  With that in mind, I chose the iLevel 213 belt from the weekly vault and got the Memory of the Mad Paragon recipe.  I went ahead and build a rank 3 boot from that.

Day 3501 - Shadowlands Day 22

On the reset day, my character managed to hit the 'revered' state with the Maw NPC.  I did a couple of upgrades and did one wing of Torghast in group.  Blizzard made some adjustment to make soloing the top level extremely difficult with the current gear.  Afterward, I did the World Boss to get the 2 renow for my covenant done, which starts the next campaign storyline.  Strangely enough, I also hit friendly status with Court of the Night, the extra Ardenweald faction that allows me to buy a couple of pets.  While in Ardenweald, I finished up the Star Lake Amphitheater achievement that allows me to buy the Moth mount for 5k anima.  I'm still debating on doing that.

The weekly event is for a piece of heroic raid gear from doing 4 Mythic dungeon.  I'm already doing way more than that, so I'll be queueing up soonish.  Weekly chest doesn't have anything I'm critically short on yet, and I may just go ahead and make the second best Legendary for me for the time being.

Day 3500 - Shadowlands Day 21

I got Exalted with Court of Harvester early on and bought the iLevel 200 neck piece from them, which is a solid upgrade.  I also bought the faction horse to bump up the mount count, now well over 500 usable on the Paladin.  I spend the rest of the time doing Mythic+.  I was able to get two pieces of gears, and these should be options in the Great Vault on reset.

We managed to down the 3rd boss with a new better strategy.  Still took a while.  After that, we spend the rest of the raid doing Lady Inerva Darkvein.  We have a pretty good understanding of her mechanics by the time we finish the night.  We will be raiding in about 4 weeks due to Holiday commitments.

Meanwhile, I've been tanking low key Sanguine Depth and Theater of Pain to get gears.  I did ok.

We did the first raid of the expansion.  We got 2 out of 10 bosses on Normal done.  There are quite a bit of mechanics to get through, but that's part of the learning process.

Day 3497 - Shadowlands Day 18

I tank 2 more Mythic+.  First I did Halls of Atonement again and this time on a M+2 I got what I was farming for.  Later I was invited to tank Plaguefall+3, which I was kind of not prepared for.  Closing out the night, I ran Theater of Pain +2 twice and got a trinket that's not quite an upgrade.  Still I got upgrade from Plaguefall that brings my iLevel up to 183.

Day 3496 - Shadowlands Day 17

I tanked Halls of Atonement again in hope of getting the last dungeon drop Legendary.  Still no luck, albeit, this time is Mythic +2.  I had enough gears to do that one properly.  Perhaps I can get it later.  I also finish up Torghast for the week and got to the 3rd level of trust with the Maw's lone friendly NPC.

Day 3495 - Shadowlands Day 16

The raid week starts, but I really don't have a raiding guild to go to.  The guild that I was running with hasn't exactly start.  I'll see what's what when their usual raid night starts.  The World Boss is up and I mostly survived, but I did pick up both a Conduit and a normal raid ring.  I've advanced the story quest in the Maw, but I was in a state that I cannot advance it any further.  I've also rescue Jaina from Torghast, so there's that.

With Mythic run over, I decided to complete the rather long Silverwind Larion mount quest.  I was 1/3 way through the process when I realized that I've selected a Covenant that has a rather short cooldown selectable teleport, which makes the whole process much easier as the Shadowlands toy that convey slow fall has a 15 minutes cooldown.  After about 6 hours of running around, I find the final fragments in dungeons.  Not wanting to wait, I queue up as tank in normal dungeon settings to get them all.  Here's the mount after getting it.

I finished up the second wing of Torghast for weekly cap of Soul Ash.  I do have enough material to build my best AOE Legendary, but I'm going to hold off on that for about 2 more weeks.  I also tanked De Other Side when we couldn't get a tank in the PUG group.  I did an ok job.

The first full reset day of the expansion and still no Great Vault yet.  I finished the 3 renown for the week in quick order.  I finished 1/2 of the Torghast by just going straight to the 3 layer of the new wing.  It was way harder than I have anticipated despite the upgraded gear I'm now using.

Day 3487 - Shadowlands Day 8

I finished up the last 3 Mythic dungeon for the week and got 2 more pieces of upgrade.  Halls of Atonement was a bit of chores, as everyone there speaks Portuguese and I don't.  Didn't help that the tank have never been there before.   The Necrotic Wake the issue is with people losing power and disconnecting, the actual fight actually went rather smoothly.  And finally Spires of Ascension went really smoothly.
