Projects Update

Project One:
Level the shaman to 80 and get gear.

Partly done. He's 80 now and has a few lowbie 80 epics.

Project Two:
Level professions across multiple toons.

Eto - 450 Mining /435 Alchemy
Kuta - 450 Herbalism / 450 Skinning
Loke - 443 Leatherworking / 397 Herbalism; Still thinking of dropping Herbalism for Inscription.

Project Three:
Earn/make gold, lots of gold.

...did I already complain about dropping 400g for Eto's 80 skills? Or dropping 1000g for Kuta's cold-weather flying?

Project Four:
Spend said gold on epic flying and cold-weather flying for multiple toons.

Eto - epic flying
Kuta - epic flying
Loke - cold-weather flying, epic flying
Eye - flying, cold-weather flying, epic flying

This is just a depressing list. I really should just lock it up and burn the chest or something. *sighs*

Project Five:
Figure out what rep grinds the toons need, focusing on Eto first.

Ummm..... I've been busy leveling. Though I think I'm going to hit revered with Kirin Tor first, mp5 head glyph is tasty. Then, do revered with Wyrmrest for the crit head glyph. Finally, exalted with Argent Crusade. Really not worried much about the gear that I can get at exalted with people since the new emblem stuff is a lot better. Just trying to get the glyphs or shoulder enchants, etc.

80 Resto Shaman

Well... Eto is 80 now. Time to begin a different kind of grind.

Gold, rep, instances, heroics, emblems, yada yada. Everyone knows the drill.

I am looking forward to seeing all of the heroics from the perspective of a healer. Raiding will happen in time, though I'm betting a certain GM and other guildies will want it to happen sooner. :p

Just want to feel comfortable with my ability to MT heal before I get dropped into that.

Do have one other comment though.... 400g for level 80 skills?!?! Ouchies, my limited gold supply cried when I saw that.

Lok'tar ogar!

Lok'tar ogar! Victory or death - it is these words that bind me to the Horde. For they are the most sacred and fundamental of truths to any warrior of the Horde.

I give my flesh and blood freely to the Warchief. I am the instrument of my Warchief's desire. I am a weapon of my Warchief's command.

From this moment until the end of days I live and die - FOR THE HORDE!

79 already?!?

Holy crap, Eto is 79 and I'm no where near ready for 80.

I don't have my bags full of boe epics, I have two. Earned my healing trinket from a brewfest run, and was given the titansteel healing mace from a guildie.

Where's the horded gold, mats, rep, any of that. All on the wayside, just like a fresh new 80 would be. That's a scary thought. I've been playing for so long on a server where I'm established, have all of the professions with plenty of farming toons. My farming toon on Bronzebeard is my 74 hunter...

No epic flying for Eto, Kuta still doesn't have flying. And when I buy the book for him on Eto, that'll wipe out my savings.

Scary future.

Ran normal HoL and UP last night. Kaly did an awesome job tanking. I didn't do so well healing UP though. First time I've had a wipe since I started healing with Eto again. That shook me up a lot. Granted it was against Ymiron and we totally forgot about Bane. Hate hate hate bane with 3 melee toons.

Did hit 440 LW with Loke yesterday, after dropping ~700g on the last 30 skill points or so. Hate this server. Course, once I farm/buy the mats for the epic crafted chest and boots for Eto, I can turn around and sell my leather to start making some gold back.

Still really interested in doing Insription on Loke as well. Just need to stop farming leather on Kuta first.

Professions... ugh

That really should say it all. I love max professions, I just hate leveling them.

Working on Cooking (Eto), Alchemy (Eto), and Leatherworking (Loke). Not to mention trying to funnel as much ore and greens for Jewelcrafting and Enchanting for Kalyara.

So I'm scrambling around, having my 73 hunter kill and skin as many things as possible in Sholazar Basin, xp ftw! Eto and Kaly made it over to the basin last night as well. Which lead me to calling out "Ore!" then agroing everything as I beeline to the saronite. Damn other farmers with their flying mounts.

Everyone says this, but Blizzard really needs to make big cooking bags. Tired of forfitting bag space to chilled meat.

Actually bag space in general is just bad. Having to store meat/fish, herbs, ore, leather. All of that takes up lots of space spread across three-ish toons. Did I mention that we're "broke" too? Stupid bag costs.

Still debating dropping herbalism on Loke to pick up Inscription. Still think that'll be a decent source of gold. Plus I really don't want to buy all of the cards for either the greatness deck or the prisims deck for Eto. Haven't decided what would be a good extra trinket. Or should I just run normal ToC over and over again for Tears of the Vanquished.

Oh well, plenty of things to do. Remember the projects post? Yeah... I best get on that.

Projects

Project One:
Level the shaman to 80 and get gear.

Eto is 76 currently, that's not many levels to go. Once he hits 77, with the purchase of cold-weather flying, and access to the Argent Tournament and Sons of Hodir rep grinds, getting the levels should go faster. Not to mention how quickly we've leveled in Storm Peaks before. So it's just a matter of hitting 77, then onto the home stretch.

Project Two:
Level professions across multiple toons.

The grind, my poor poor bleading eyes. I need to level: alchemy, leatherworking, herbalism, skinning, and I'm thinking about picking up inscription on my druid.

Etolani - Miner/Alchemist
Kuta - Skinner/Herbalist
Lokeire - Herbalist/Leatherworker
Eyeburner - Miner/Enchanter

So with some fiddling around, I think I can power level a scribe. Just more farming. *sighs* But hopefully that'll lead to an additional source of income.

Project Three:
Earn/Make gold, lots of gold.

Argent Tournament and Sons of Hodir rep grind dailies for gold should help a lot toward earning gold. Once the professions are leveled more, I should be able to sell leather, ore, etc. Need to check the ah's price for various inscription items.

If/when Kuta gets flying and hits 77, that's another source of dailies for added gold. Repeat for the other toons.

Mmmm gold, the facilitator of shineys and toon leveling.

Project Four:
Spend said gold on epic flying and cold-weather flying for multiple toons.

Did you see the toon list? Yeah, they all need flying, epic flying, and cold-weather flying to some degree or another.

Eto - cold-weather flying, epic flying
Kuta - cold-weather flying, epic flying
Loke - cold-weather flying, epic flying
Eye - flying, cold-weather flying, epic flying

That is a LOT of gold. *sighs* Why didn't I do my 70 dailies on any of these toons before Wrath came out?

Project Five:
Figure out what rep grinds the toons need, focusing on Eto first.

I've been slacking, haven't been paying attention to what faction rep I should be grinding versus the easily obtained superior emblem gear. Give me an hour or so, and I'll have the list down, with the order that I'll snag the shinies so I can start healing in raids on Eto. :p

I geek I will aways be.

76 Shaman Blues

Etolani, protector of tanky Dks, collector of the ore, mixer of strange chemicals scored his first 80 epic last night.

Actually he helped "earn" his Ancient Pickled Egg with an odd guild group: 80 prot warrior, 80 ret paladin, 80 holy priest, 75 frost dk, and himself (75 resto shaman). But he downed ole' Coren Direbrew four times last night, and the word is he's going back again tonight. People want their kodos. Eto just wants the AP trinket for his eventual off-spec.

Traveling around the various flight paths, seeking out the elusive Kalu'ak quartermaster. Hoping to upgrade the cruddy green quest chest for a spiffy blue with more stam, int and spellpower.

Still trying to get a feel for what stats he needs as a resto shaman. Not really sure how much haste is needed, if it's even neccessary while leveling. He's stacking int and spellpower with a smattering of MP5 currently. So long as he doesn't run out of mana, most fights are easy enough. Though that'll probably change once he hits 80 and has access to more gear choices.

All in all, playing a resto shaman is a very nice break from constant dps, which was used as a break from constant tanking. Just wish all of my toons were on the same server and same faction. Then Eto wouldn't be so broke. Somehow he needs to collect 4000+ gold in the span of a level to pick up both cold weather flying and epic flying. Will probably have to do just the cold weather flying, then grind out gold with dailies and what not before his get my epic flying.

Anyway, off to find that vendor, then to switch over to my hunter, Kuta, to farm more leather and herbs.
