Daily Blog - April 5, 2010

Played only a little bit over the holiday weekend. Spent most of my time putting together my kids swing set and was too tired in the evenings to do anything but sleep. Before that though I did finish leveling my Warrior to 30 in the Wetlands. I then began to play my Mage who I was able to level to 22 in Redridge so far. I died several times trying to get used to the rotations again. I found out my sheep spell is very useful in multiple mob situations, but I have such low hp. Once I get in trouble I'm screwed. Not sure if I'll be able to play much tonight as I'll probably be working late all week. We'll see.

Daily Blog - April 1, 2010

Played only sparingly last night. Flew over to the Wetlands and was only able to do a couple of quests before I had to call it a night. They were low level quests so didn't do much to get my Warrior much closer to level 30. No work tomorrow, so I should be able to play late tonight and finally make it to 30. Then it's on to my frost Mage.

Happy April fools btw. I liked the jokes on WoW's website. I admit, I got fooled when I read the EPEEN thing. I didn't know what was going on as I wasn't looking at the site last year this time. I was pissed when I read it. I had no problem with the gear score thing at first but then when it got into not being able to talk to people in a higher teir or even see them, that's when I was like WTF! With my low gear scores I figured I'd be all alone. I did a little googling after that and read some message boards that it was a joke so I was relieved. It was pretty funny. I then read the other article about the head gear thing for $15k. It was funny too, but much less believable. One day in the future that is what it's going to be though. Where you totally immerse yourself in a game world. I'm thinking houses will eventually have small game rooms that you stand in with video covering all walls instead of just a helmet though. That would be really cool. Can't wait for that.

Check Point - 3/30/2010

Thought I would post a blog about how I enjoy the different classes. I've played them all (except Death Knight) to at least level 20, which I know isn't that high, but I felt like letting you know how much I liked or disliked the classes during the early stages of the game.

Paladin
The Paladin was my very first roll when I started WoW over a year ago. To tell you the truth I didn't much like the Paladin in the early levels (I think up to 20) because I thought the mechanics (judgement, seals, etc.) was confusing. The whole game was new to me at the time so I think the Paladin was just too challenging for me. That is why I rerolled to something easier, the Rogue, which I will get to next. I also didn't like the fact that I couldn't pull mobs to me because there was no range weapon or spell that I could use.

I then started playing him again to level to 30 and got the Exorcism spell which solved the pull issue. I also began to understand the mechanics of using the Paladin and in fact I really started enjoying the class. I love having a strong spell for pulling in mobs and also being able to melee with the mobs. After the fighting is done, all I have to do is heal myself. A very self sufficient class. Especially since they can also wear heavy armor. Right now this is one of my favorite classes, although if I do end up pulling to many mobs, I tend to die rather quickly. I have to time my heals right.

Rogue
This, I suppose, would be my main character although he's only 4 levels higher than my second alt. I rolled him second because I thought it would be an easier class. I wouldn't say that the rogue is easy to play but it was nice to have something different than the Paladin at the time. I'm not much of a stealth guy as I felt it took to long to move around. But I did use it if I was going up against multiple mobs. I really liked dual wielding and also the poisons. After leveling the Rogue for quite a while though, I got burned out. It seemed like I was doing the same thing over and over again so that's why I rolled again.

Warrior
My 3rd character and he is almost to 30. At first I didn't care too much for the mechanics of the Warrior, but I have learned over the past month to really enjoy it. It is becoming really easy to kill multiple mobs, even if they are higher level than myself. All it is is charge, rend, block, revenge, thunder clap, and so forth. The only bad thing is I have to use bandages quite a bit, but lately that hasn't been the case. I may fight 3 mobs at once and then after they are dispatched I look down at my hp and only about 10-20% is gone. That's basically filled up by the time I get to the next group of mobs. I'm really enjoying my Warrior.

Mage
My Mage is my 4th character and I rolled him because I wanted to try out the true caster class which I rarely do when playing rpg games for some reason. I haven't played my mage in several months as he is next on my list to level to 30 once the Warrior is done. But, I think I remember enjoying the mechanics behind the mage. I would frost the mobs and then hit them with spells until they were dead. Created my own food and water so didn't take long to recoup between fights. I look forward to getting back to my Mage this week (maybe tonight even).

Warlock
For my fifth character I wanted to try out a pet class. I was really wanting to stay human as I knew the starting area better so I went with the Warlock instead of the Hunter. My warlock is at 23 right now and I actually really enjoy playing this class as well. The Void Walker as the tank is very nice. It makes it pretty simple to level with the Warlock. It is difficult sometimes to manage the Void Walker and make sure he doesn't pick up too many mobs. Although when this happens you can simply start high tailing it away, because once a couple of mobs focus on you, you're in big trouble with only cloth armor. I can't wait to get back to this class as well.

Druid
For my sixth character I decided I wanted some new scenery so I went with the Night Elf Druid. Ugh. This is my least favorite character. I've already played a Mage which is basically what the Druid is in regular form, just a lot less powerful. I had already played the Warrior, which is the bear form, but with a lot less options. I just got the cat form at level 20, or maybe I have to do some quest for it first, not sure, but since I have already played the Rogue it seems like it would pretty much be the same but with less options, like bear form was. Maybe it will be better, I'm not sure. I tried to play the Druid in Bear form but it was so darn boring. I thought regular form was at least a little interesting, but unfortunatly I died a lot because my spells were not that powerful. I know a lot of people like the Druid but I just haven't found anything to like yet. Hopefully it gets better, but I'm not looking forward to leveling him to 30 when the time comes around.

Priest
After the Druid I wanted to come back to the Human lands so I rolled a Priest for my seventh character. I didn't think I would like the Priest much so that is why he's my last human character. Something about healing didn't excite me too much. But when I started playing I actually grew to enjoy it. It was nice to hit mobs and be able to have some powerful heals to keep you alive. The only problem was the mana drain. I have to stack up a lot of juices and take breaks between fights. He's at level 20 right now so I look forward to seeing how he does on the way to 30 in the next couple of months.

Shaman
The next character I was just trying to get one of the last classes in. So number eight was the Shaman. I wasn't too excited about using totems and even after leveling to 20, I'm still not that excited about them. They're ok I suppose but they annoying as well. I suppose the good thing about the Shaman is that he can survive since he's not too squishy like other caster classes. The Shaman never really excited me that much.

Hunter
The final character (since I don't have a DK yet) was my Hunter. Not sure why I left him for last, mostly because I couldn't get a Human Hunter. I wish I didn't wait so long though, because I really enjoyed leveling my hunter to 20. Much like the Warlock, it's great to have a tank out there while you sit back and shot your gun or bow and arrow. It's really simple to play the Hunter and leveling is a breeze. I can't wait to get back to him.

In order, this is how I would rank the classes (from worse to best):
9. Druid
8. Shaman
7. Rogue
6. Priest
5. Mage
4. Warlock
3. Warrior
2. Hunter
1. Paladin

So I suppose Paladin wins out so far, but it may just be because I've just played him recently. We'll see if my feeling change in my next check point blog.

Daily Blog - March 30, 2010

Was able to play last night for about 2 hours. Made it about halfway between level 29 and 30 so almost there. I've finished all my quests for Duskwood which were really easy, especially now that I have some decent gear from previous quests I completed. I actually have some blues to go along with my greens. I haven't spent my money at the auction house to buy gear as I don't feel like collecting and selling stuff at the auction house to make money. Takes too much time. My gear score is only about 195, but it is fine for my purposes. I can take on 2-3 mobs at a time, even if they are at a higher level with no problems. I went over to the next area, Stranglethorn (I think) and the little camp had no quests for me since I'm too low of a level. I went out and killed a few leopards and tigers, but then I had some technical issues. Not sure if it was my internet or the server, but it kept messing up. I would be fighting something and it would freeze. I would be able to move around the world, but there were no mobs to fight. It was weird. I walked around a bit, but finally gave up and called it a night. If I get to play tonight I should be able to make my way to level 30. Maybe I'll go over to the Wetlands or something and do some quests. I think that area is comparable to Duskwood although it will be extremely easy I'm sure.

Weekly Blog - March 29, 2010

Played some over the weekend with my Protection Warrior, Dotsmadathre. I'm up to level 28 now. Getting pretty easy to kill things using my sword and board routine. Just revenge everything and they quickly die. Starting to get better equipment as well with the quests I've been completing. I'm still in Duskwood. I was able to kill the Mor Ladim (or however you spell it) that is in the graveyard. He's a level 30 elite and I killed him by myself, I think at level 28. Still had plenty of hp left too. Didn't need any healing potions either. Comparing my warrior with my paladin I think I still prefer the Paladin. I really like to be able to heal myself. Hopefully I'll be able to level my Warrior up to 30 this week and then start on my Mage. I've been playing these heavy armor classes for a while now. It will be interesting to mix it up a bit with some squishy magic users.

Went back to the Fizzcrank realm over the weekend and played my Warrior some last night. Got him up to level 26 in Duskwood. I bought a new Dell desktop computer so I could have it hooked up to my 120" projector. It is so much better looking than when I had my laptop connected to it. First of all I can connect it directly to my receiver using an hdmi cable instead of the standard monitor cable. Then the computer itself, of course, is much better. It has a pentium i7 processor, which I believe is a quad core?? Don't know much about computers but all I know is that I was able to move all of the sliders for video and audio to max and the game still played amazingly at I believe the highest fps which is 60. The grass and plants no longer look like blobs and there are so many more shadows than before. The sound is also great. The picture doesn't do it justice as I took it with my phone, but you can get an idea of how big my screen is. I'll continue playing tonight if I have time so I can get my Warrior up to 30. Then I think my Mage is next to level to 30.

February 3, 2010

Currently traveling around the world for the next 2 weeks for work. I'm currently in Oslo, Norway at the moment. Have played a little since my last post though. I reached level 30 with my Paladin and have reached level 22 with my Warrior. I'll probably play some more once I get back to my hotel tonight. Good thing about traveling is that I can do whatever I want when I get back to my hotel. No taking care of kids or anything like that. I will be in London over the weekend so hopefully the hotel has fast enough internet for me to play.

Daily Blog - January 25, 2009

Well, I've finished all my quests in Duskwood and I'm still not quite at level 30 yet. I could do some grinding and probably get there pretty quick, but that's boring. I decided to go ahead and move over to the Wetlands as I believe it is somewhat comparable to Duskwood level wise. I'll do all the quests there and I should make it to level 30 by then. My alternative is to try and run the deadmines, but I think it would be pretty difficult to solo at level 29. Plus I don't get any experience from killing mobs there only completing a few of the quests. Not worth it. Stranglethorn Vale would be the next logical step after Duskwood, but I believe I would be out of my league there as well. I don't want to stuggle fighting mobs a couple levels above me. So that's why I pick the Wetlands. It'll take some running around, but shouldn't be too long before I reach my current goal of level 30 for my Paladin. After that I will play my Warrior, although I am getting partial to my Paladin. I fee like I really have a hang on what he can accomplish and have a pretty good battle rotation going after playing for the past 10 levels. It's been a lot of fun. I'm sure I will find the same thing with the Warrior as well once I get into it. For the Paladin I was able to kill that elite guy that's in the grave yard which was a couple levels higher than me. I was out of mana, nearly out of health and used my potions as well, but I did end up killing him all by myself. I thought that was pretty cool.

Daily Journal - September 2, 2009

Name: Dotsmadafor
Class: Mage
Professions: Enchanting, Inscription

I spent time last night relaxing on the beach of Lake Everstill in the town of Lakeshire catching catfish and frogs. I have honed my fishing skills and now I have earned the Artisan expertise. Once I reached this great achievement I went into the Lakeshire inn and had a merry time celebrating. I will sleep in tomorrow and possibly tomorrow night I will then work on becoming a artisan first aider. Of course, as I am a Mage, I really have no natural ability to heal myself except for making food. Eating just takes way too much time though. I am afraid that I will need more coin in my pockets though as after learning to become and Artisan Fisherman I have only 20 silver to my name. I would like to go to the auction house in Stormwind and purchase my materials to become an Artisan in First Aid, instead of going to kill humanoids. Mayhap I will check with my friend Dotsmadathre, who is a valiant Warrior, to see if he can make me money by collecting minerals. He is usually generous and happy to crack rocks on my behalf, so I see no problems there.

Until tomorrow......

Meet Dotsmadathre, me Protection Warrior....

This is my bad ass Warrior. I really enjoy playing him and just finished leveling him to 20. Here are his stats:

Level - 20
Strength - 67
Agility - 55
Stamina - 84
Intellect - 23
Spirit - 31
Armor - 1,525
Blacksmith - 150
Mining - 100
Fishing - 229
Cooking - 225
First Aid - 225

This is my first character that I've leveled the secondary skills up to 225. He has the highest armor class, by far than any of my other characters. He is also high in strength and stamina. I have him ranked as my number 2 character so far, with my Rogue number 1. When I play my Warrior next I will be working on leveling Blacksmithing.

Meet Dotsmada the Retribution Paladin....

Dotsmada is my very first character. ThePaladin class is probably one of the most difficult to play so it was definitely a challenge when I first started. I haven't played my Paladin in probably several months now. He's been sitting at level 20 while I level the rest of my characters to 20. Here is his current stats:

Level - 20
Strength - 68
Agility - 36
Stamina - 59
Intellect - 34
Spirit - 37
Armor - 952
Engineering - 40
Mining - 59
Fishing - 1
Cooking - 85
First Aid - 64

As you can see, I will have a lot to level as far as his skills are concerned. He currently has the highest strength of all of my characters, just edging out my Warrior. He's a distant second in Armor behind my Warrior. He is my fourth most powerful player.

Daily Blog - August 28, 2009

I finished leveling my Warrior to 20 last night, and also got him his mount. Boy are they cheap now. Only 3.5 gold for training and less than a gold for the mount. Makes it less of an achievement, but not sure if I really care. I didn't have to go farm to raise money. Above is a picture of my Warrior, Dotsmadathre, on his new horse. Now I will move on to my Mage and leveling his secondary skills to 225 and to level 20.

Leveled my Warrior up to 19 last night doing several delivery and collection quests between Redridge/Westfall/Stormwind/Darkshire. I think I have already gotten a hang of the battle rotation once again. It's not too difficult. I really enjoy having to push several buttons with the Warrior and having to time them right. Other characters you just mash one or two, which is pretty boring. The Warrior brings variety I think. Tonight I should be able to level my Warrior to 20 while doing my Redridge quests and then I'll need to buy a mount!

I finished upgrading all my gear last night, now hopefully tonight I can go out and level my Warrior to 20. I can't remember exactly where I left off last time but I think I just started in Redridge. I enjoy leveling in Redridge because everything is so close together. Hopefully it won't take too long. I will have to get used to fighting with my Warrior once agains. That's one of the drawbacks of playing 9 characters at once I suppose.

I was kicking myself last night for not running around Elwynn Forest the night before to put some copper on the auction house. So when I played last night I didn't have any money to purchase supplies so I could finish upgrading my Warrior's gear. I spent about an hour or so running around last night collecting about 120 copper bars to sell at the auction house. Hopefully they sell so I can have some gold to buy supplies tonight when I play.

Monday, August 24, 2009

Daily Blog - August 24, 2009

Was able to get my Warrior up to 225 in both Fishing and First Aid over the weekend. I was also able to upgrade some of my armor through the auction house. Now I'm trying to enchant my equipment and make potions and scrolls. I should be able to do that tonight.

Thursday, August 20, 2009

Daily Blog - August 20, 2009

Played about an hour or two last night and was able to level my cooking to 225 and my fishing to 199. I got tired of fishing so I started leveling first aid. I got up to 210 which is when I need to start using Runecloth. I have no idea where to farm Runecloth, but I'm guessing it's off of mobs that are higher than any of my characters. So that means I'll have to buy it from the auction house. I looked and there was some (don't remember how many) for about 5 gold. I didn't have enough gold at the time so I'm stuck at 210 for now.

I'll probably do some more fishing tonight if I get to play, but it now takes 5 fish to go up one skill point, so 26 skill points means I'll have to cast at least 130 times. That's if it stays at 5 all the way up to 225. This will take a long time. As for first aid, I'm going to have to go collect some copper so I can sell and have enough money to buy runecloth. I'll only need to buy 1-2 stacks though to get to 225 in first aid.

I was able to get my Warrior to Stromgard Keep without dying last night. I also picked up some flight points in the Wetlands and Refuge Point so it won't take as long to get back there again. I got some recipes for cooking fish at the Wetlands (can't remember the name of the city) so I could cook the mithril trout that I would be catching. Unfortunately I can't learn it until I reach skill level 175. That means I will need to raise my cookings skill 25 points while cooking more bristle whisker catfish first. I sure wish I hadn't trashed all the ones I caught on my journey to fishing skill level 150. Oh well. I went ahead and fished for about 20 minutes at Stromgard and caught a bunch of trout and some catfish. Went back to Goldshire and cooked the catfish, but it only got me to skill level 164. I will go to Redridge to catch more catfish so I can hopefully get up to 175. Right now cooking catfish is green so hopefully it stays green until I reach 175 because I'm not sure what else I can cook to raise my level. Once I do reach 175, I think I should have enough trout to get to 225. If not then I will just go back to Stromgrade.

After all that I hope I'm at 225 on my fishing skill level, but I highly doubt it. I'm only at about 172 right now. My fishing skill is currently outleveling my cooking skill, but that will change quickly once I reach 175 in cooking. I will just give my left over fish to my Mage. That will give him a headstart on leveling his fishing and cooking.

So that's probably what I will be doing tonight if I get to play.

Was finally able to finish upgrading my Shaman and level to 18. Finished up the Westfall quests (except Deadmines) and dinged 18 while doing the delivery quests for Redridge. It was actually pretty easy. I did not die once.

Next I start back on my Warrior and try to get him to level 20 so I can get my mount. Before then I would like to raise my secondary skills to 225, but I'm not sure how easy that will be. Fishing won't be difficult, but seems like it would take forever. I would like to catch fish that will level my cooking as well, but I'm not sure if I can take a level 18 character to a safe place to do this. I will have to do a little research online to find a good strategy. First Aid shouldn't be a problem.

Looking online it looks like I should go to Stromgarde Keep in the Arathi Highlands to catch mithril head trout. Unfortunately that's a level 30-40 area. Probably won't be too easy to get there with my Warrior. I suppose I have three options:

1. Try to get there with my level 18 warrior by avoiding all mobs (not sure if possible).
2. Take my level 34 Rogue there and catch the trout with him, send the fish to my Warrior and level his cooking that way. I will have to take my Warrior to Redridge and increase his fishing skill there. I would then just trash everything I catch.
3. Buy the trout from the auction house if they are available and if they are reasonably priced, and fish in Redridge to level the fishing skill.

Not sure which one I will choose.

Daily Blog - April 29, 2009

Turned in my Lighthouse quests for my Warrior and finally dinged level 18.

So then I moved on to my Mage who is currently level 16. My current goals for my mage:

1. Level enchanting to 150 (currently 131)
2. Level inscription to 150 (currently 101)
3. Level fishing to 150 (currently 1)
4. Level first aid to 150 (currently 79)
5. Update Mage's gear
6. Level Mage to 18

I actually worked on leveling my enchanting yesterday for a couple of hours. It sure is expensive! I went out to the auction house to buy items to disenchant which I suppose wasn't too expensive. I only bought low level items, all less than 30 silver. I also figured out I can make embossed leather gloves with my Druid which only cost 3 light leather and send it to my Mage to disenchant. This was much less expensive. I probably bought over 100 light leather from the auction house for only a few gold and made a crap load of these gloves and also leveled my leather working for my Druid in the process. This sounds like a pretty good money making strategy since the dusts go for pretty good money at the auction house and light leather is generally pretty cheap.

The only bad thing is that I will usually enchant vellums and try and sell them at the auction house. It doesn't seem like many people care for lower level enchants so I don't make any money off of them.

Hopefully I'll be able to finish leveling my enchanting this evening.
