Monday Musings - The Levelling Bug

I haven't done a Farmers Market post for yesterday yet. A couple of reasons really. Partly I had a headache for a good part of yesterday, which honestly didn't stop me from playing. I didn't have a subject at the time either although now I have two ideas to discuss. Must remember them and I will try to do a farmers market tomorrow. But mainly I was too busy levelling my warlock.

I am very much an altoholic and even more so recently. And the heirloom gear is just great for them. I recently went on an heirloom binge and have the cloth, leather dps and plate chest and shoulders as well as both trinkets, dagger, bow, 1 and 2h maces and staff. Been great not having to worry about the various gear items. Okay, it did take a while to get them through the tournament dailies but I'm a farmer. Its what I do.

I got my warlock to 62 through doing a load of the Argent Dawn quests and am now 5000 from revered. Will try to persuade my GF to run through Scholo and Strath at some point perhaps. I then went through HFP, Zang and Terrokar before ending in Nagrand at 69 where I did the Nessingway and Consortium. I then concentrated on the rest of the Consortium and got to both honoured and 70.

SO, what’s next for the warlock. Well, its not Northrend, not yet. I'm going to do the Shattered Sun dailies, maybe all the way to Exalted and go and do starting area quests. I want to get my city reps to Exalted or close enough. But why do the SS quests? I do have a reason to my madness and it is due to a method I had to make me money. Not for everyone but it comes down to getting money instead of XP at 80. I'll go into more detail in a later post and again, it isn't for everyone but there may be some who will appreciate it.

So, the warlock has some purpose to him before Northrend. In the meantime I have a paladin at 55 who is on a sort of hiatus because my GF mentioned how I kept overtaking her and I'm going to let her level hers a little more first. Besides I have a rogue in the early 30s I need to work on more. And its slow levelling the rogue. Okay, I'm combat spec for ease but it still seems slower than the other two. Plus I seem to have had more fun levelling the paladin and warlock. And if my GF will let me, I also have my death knight too. I'll give a rundown of my characters in a later post.

I noticed something else yesterday that I had forgotten about with TBC, mainly because of the changes to improve levelling. When you level you normally hit 70 in Nagrand. Of course some head for Northrend at 68 but I am a person of habit. I never go to Outland before 60 and Northrend before 70. But even so, you tend to end in Nagrand at 70 at which point you go to Northrend. Because I was working on Consortium I found myself in Netherstorm killing mobs for quests. And an enchanting recipe dropped. I had forgotten that there were profession only drops in high Outland zones. Okay, the one I got yesterday was only shadow resistance on cloak but it got me thinking. What other recipes were there? In a later post I will try to work on some lists for those who are interested. I may have to try and do them earlier than later but we'll have to see what interesting items are out there.
