A Weekend full of Win
I had quite a bit of fun in Azeroth these last couple of days, which is always nice. Previous post saw Wolfsorish hit 58 and head off to Outlands. Not long after that I hit 60 with him. Now I get to make a choice – hold off til level 61 and buy the Dreadsteed, or do the quest.
It would definitely be cheaper on the ol’ bank balance to do the quest, plus probably infinitely more satisfying in the long run. But can I be bothered? It looks like a lot of work compared to the Paladin equivalent, which I did for Palithras. Plus I’d need to have The Wife run me through Scholomance and Dire Maul. So the time investment is much higher.
It would make more sense, time-wise, to have Palithras farm saronite or titansteel and sell it and then level Wolf to 61. I’ll have to sleep on it, I think. It would be nice to be able to say “Hey, I got my epic mount by working for it”, but when I have pair of level 80′s backing me up, how much work would I actually end up doing?
In other news, the guild’s 25-man Naxxramas raid got delayed by a few hours and I managed to sneak in for 4 bosses. We downed the Arachnid Quarter on first try (collecting “Heroic: Momma Said Knock You Out” along the way), and then headed to Patchwerk. Took three attempts but we got him as well. Unfortunately I had to leave after that /sigh.
No purple love for Palithras from Naxxramas, but I finally managed to hoard enough Emblems to upgrade my shield. Picked up the Protective Barricade of the Light. So all in all it was a good weekend for me. Yay!
