Played my Paladin again last night. Had a couple quests left over in Westfall so finished those and then did a couple more in Redridge. Right now the quests are really simple considering my level is a little higher than the mobs I'm fighting. I almost died once as I got 3 condors and a dragon thingy (don't remember their names), but I kept healing myself and was barely able to make it through. As I mentioned yesterday the healing spell for my Paladin only heals about half of his hit points. Part of my problem is probably my gear as I really haven't upgraded it for a while now. Maybe I should spend some gold to do that, but I'm still having a pretty easy time as long as I don't attract too many mobs...

I think I will start upgrading my gear and focusing more on + strength and attk power gear. I also need to level my engineering as it's only at about 60 right now. Need to add enchants to my gear and also get the necessary strength scrolls and some potions, probably the lions elixir and the elixir of defense would be good. I also need bigger bags. Lots of stuff to do. I'll probaby start with leveling engineering as I'd like to get the head gear and the dynamite.

I dinged level 22 so got some new spells. Will continue to play tonight. Seems like I go up a level each night so by next week I should reach level 30 and will then move on to my Warrior.

I leveled my Paladin's engineering up last night so I could make my Hunter some bullets. I made 1,200 bullets and sent them over to my Hunter. That's about as far as I got though. I went to bed early (around 10) last night. I've been staying up past midnight for the last several days and it's catching up to me so I decided to take a break. I also helped my wife a little bit. Tonight I should be able to take my Hunter back to Duskwood and kill more wolves for medium leather and finally get my Druid's Leatherworking up to 150.

One other thing - why doesn't the WoW armory ever update? It's so sporadic. Sometimes it'll update every day, other times it won't update for weeks. Pretty crappy if you ask me.

Played several hours over the weekend but didn't get too much accomplished as far as my goals are concerned. I'm still working on leveling my leatherworking for my Druid, I think I'm around 135 or 140. Right now I need medium leather to level the profession and the auction house prices are too high (around 5 gold per stack). I remember back several months ago when I started playing in December 2008 I would sell leather on the auction house for much cheaper. I believe the server was fairly new back then. I would sell a stack of light leather for about 1 gold and be happy, now they go for 2-3 gold. Same with copper bars as well.

So now that it's too expensive to buy I have to go out there and collect it myself. I've been using my Hunter because I find it easier to kill mobs that are a few levels higher with him. I went to Duskwood to kill some of the wolves to get my leather. It takes a long time, and I somewhat regret giving up skinning for my level 34 Rogue. I could have easily gotten medium leather with him in Duskwood, but unfortunately I switched him to herbablism instead. Oh well, it's more difficult to do herbalism with a low level charcter than skinning so I'll just use my Hunter for now. While getting leather I actually got him up to level 19.

Also, in the past week my wife has started to play again so I've been helping her. She only had one character before (paladin) and she thought it was a difficult class to play, so I told her to be a Rogue. She's enjoyed it so far, but is having a little trouble in some areas. She is trying to master the technique of drawing only one mob at a time. The Rogue is a little squishy if you get too many mobs on you at once. I went ahead and helped her with some armor and weapons to make it a little easier.

Maybe tonight I'll be able to collect some more leather, but my Hunter has now run out of bullets (heavy shot) so I need to make some more with my engineer, but unfortunately my engineer is only around level 40 or so. So I'm working on leveling my Paladin's engineering profession so he can make heavy shot for my Hunter.

It sure is slow going leveling all my alts.
