Day 4882 - The War Within Day 33

The ?? Zekvir's Lair is a bit tougher than I had hope.  Gear isn't the issue, I just have to do a clean run and then I'm done with the place.  I was able to get through a couple of M+ plus the normal raid to complete the weekend.

Turns out the first tier of Zekvir's Layer is accessible after getting Tier 8 of Delves.  It was easy enough that I was able to do it on all of my level 80 character.  I've spend most of the day working on the second tier on the paladin main.

Finished up Delve tier 10.  However, Zekvir's Lair is still not accessible, so I'll have to do tier 11 to unlock that.

Day 4879 - The War Within Day 30

Continued to do weekly tasks as well as doing the Lurker of the Deeps for the mount.  On my 15th attempt at this, the mount dropped for the fire mage.

Day 4878 - The War Within Day 29

Finishing up the weekly tasks for the 8 level 80s, I opted to do some Bountiful Delves.  With Brann at level 36-38, it feel easier, albeit still hard for the mage.

Paladin main pick a tier leg which allows me to convert a champion track hands to tier as well.  My character now have 5 pieces to swap for best fit.

Day 4876 - The War Within Day 27

I finished some more tier 8 Delves that's not Bountiful for achievements.  Meanwhile Fire Mage managed to finish Awaken the Machine, which isn't easy for someone so squishy without self heal.

Day 4875 - The War Within Day 26

I had a guarantee hero track gear on the next bountiful delves on the Death Knight.  After I finished the run, both the nominal tier 8 delve gear and the bonus gear are the exact same as the pants the character is wearing, just at different rank (was wearing veteran track pants, got both champion and hero version of the same thing).  I then embark on leveling the mage which is significantly harder due to me being rather rusty with mage.  I tried both Frost and Fire build with some difficulty.  Still by the end of the night, I did finish the Timewalk raid with gears to show for.

The fishing derby was severely nerfed, so I'm taking a week off from it.  I finished leveling Death Knight and start doing all of the weeklies.  I was able to get some good gears from them as well as from the bountiful delves.  Doing the Timewalk Raid (Black Temple) I was able to get a champion track weapon.  In all, the Death Knight have a fairly smooth leveling experience.

I started leveling the Death Knight by finishing up the campaign.  Fortunately for me there are some gears waiting for me at the end of the leveling experience including the veteran track gear from Renown.

Day 4873 - The War Within Day 24

I join a pug normal raid group and managed to get a tier glove.  With that, I picked the hero track tier shoulder from the weekly vault and managed to convert a champion track chest.  However, I actually only have 1 charge of catalyst, so it will have to be next week before I can get 4 piece.  Now that Brann is sufficiently upgrade (level 27-28), Delves are a bit easier, I just have to take my time.

Day 4872 - The War Within Day 23

Tried farming for upgraded bracer on M+2 and failed.  I did complete Grim Batol to raise my number.  I also made a lot of water breathing potion to trivialize the underwater setting.  Finally doing some Hallowfall weekly and I managed to reach Renown 18 which allow me to buy the bracer that's an upgrade.

Day 4871 - The War Within Day 22

The weekly vault does contain significant upgrade.  I'll go for actual loot after I finish the LFR for the week.  Meanwhile, I knocked out all of the world quests, world boss as well as 4 City of Threads.  Didn't get the bracer I was farming for, but I did get the often farmed for trinket.  I also did one Grim Batol which we didn't time.  I also didn't get the bracer.  I got the mount from Awaken the Machine event.  Here's what it looks like.

Day 4870 - The War Within Day 21

Now that my gear is a bit better, I finally take the plunge into Bountiful Delves.  It helps that the first level 8 I tried was just after I was practicing it early in the morning.  When I got it, it was turn into Bountiful, so I finished that one up carefully.  I failed the second one I try, but found out that you can reset the instance instead of just powering through by leaving it and start over.  I managed to get 4 done.  I cannot fully utilizing some of these gears until I catalyze and upgrade them.

The fishing derby this week features easier fish to obtain.  I also try to fish up as many of the derby currency as possible.  Continue to do the M0 for gears.

I once again did all 8 Mythic 0 and got some gear out of it.  It's not quite as successful as the previous turn.  Thankfully I was able to do the first 4 bosses in the raid and that went better than I have anticipated.

Day 4867 - The War Within Day 18

After doing 2 Mythic 0 previous day, I decided to go ahead and try to do as many as possible.  Mythic 0 comes with additional mechanics, and some of the previous expansions' dungeons have now changed (Grim Batol's mob distribution is very different).  The hardest one, and mostly my own fault is The Dawnchaser dungeon.

Day 4866 - The War Within Day 17

I managed to finish Delve level 7.  I think I'll need to level up Brann up a bit more, but after rank 15, the only way for him to rank up is through bountiful version, which I'm not going to do until I get a bit more gears.  Finished my first two M0 for the season, and I think I did ok.

Day 4865 - The War Within Day 16

 Season 1 of The War Within started, and I got the first wing of LFR out of the way.  I'll probably start working through Mythic when I have enough gears, but in the meantime, I knocked out all of the meaningful world quest and weeklies.  The Delve season 1 also started, and I started doing them at higher difficulty.

I got Priest to complete The Ringing Deeps campaign thus bring her to level 76 and start to replace her gears.  I also spend a bit of time to farm for a quest token in Hallowfall.  Still not dropping.

I got a friend to help me with Alunira hoping that she could get a mount as well.  She didn't but she did get 150 rep points to go with that effort.  Here's what the mount looks like

Day 4858 - The War Within Day 9

I'm still going through the character mains to get their profession leveled up and doing the start of the campaign.  I also finished the patch's campaign and got Earthen race unlocked.  So another level 10 character to level.

Finish grinding out the necessary material for Siesbarg.  

In the process, I also managed to get all but 1 shard for another mount.  I then spend the day working through the professions of the class mains.

Day 4856 - The War Within Day 7

Scarab Scouting quest is finally fixed.  Albeit when I send my alts down there to get the pet to sell, I ran into issue of the world quest version of it clashing.  I had to finishing the world quest first and then the rest of the chain.  I was fortunately to queue for and get the quest item for another mount.  Unfortunately the grind took a good part of my time, and I'm only half way through the second step.  It will slow down my alt's progression.

Oh the start of new month also means another new sets of transmog to look at.  I finally got enough Trader's Tender to buy the rather expensive Marrlok.  It did free up a spot for me to freeze this month's new pet.
