Not much gone on in game the last few days, we had another fun run to ICC, and I managed to reach exalted with the August Celestials!
I am also immensely jealous of my guild member Jhatz's transmog - you can see in this screenshot, they are the Pandaren farmer look-a-like! It is almost enough to make me roll a male Panda - and I don't have any male characters ^^
Finally hitting exalted with the August Celestials was nice, but means I need to make even more gold now to be able to afford the mount (seriously 7000g is a little ridiculous!) and I still haven't been able to buy the Klaxxi one (also 7000g T_T)
My relationship with gold in this game has been a funny thing. I always have just enough to do things I want to do and not worry about running out - a few times back in Wrath I did reach the unfortunate point of having to sell offspec gear to be able to afford repairs, but I've gotten better at making gold since then!
My gold used to be spent on all of my alts, getting them geared up and flying etc. and while there has been some of that going on so far this expansion, the gold each character has made on its levelling journey has generally been enough to pay for its own flying.
I have most professions maxed out and while for most people these are gold earners, I levelled my professions for fun, and have rarely used them to actually make gold back! (This is my downfall, I'm aware, as this is where most of my gold making should easily be accomplished).
I've toyed with playing the Auction House, and had Trade Skill Master installed for a while, but it didn't feel fun so I uninstalled it again.
Nowadays, most of the gold I get is either from the day to day activities my characters do (world bosses - because you know i'm getting gold bags and not loot, heroics, the occasional LFR), or from vendored gear drops/grey items.
Its enough to keep me ticking over until I encounter something like a mount I can buy at the end of a rep grind!
Somehow I shall make the 14,000g I need for the Klaxx iand August Celestial mounts, then maybe I can look into actually getting the other mounts I don't have, such as the JC mounts and continue with my Archaeology to try and find the elusive Vial of the Sands recipe on one of my alchemists!
Also, I have decided that the people on Draenor like Mammoths a little too much ^^
You've no doubt noticed that I take a lot of screenshots.
I like to remember some of the things that I've seen, and I'm only sorry that I didn't end up keeping some of my older ones.
Today's blog is going to be me sharing some of the funny or nice things that I have seen so far in the World of Warcraft.
Firstly, I'd like to share a recent phenomenon that seems to happen each week on Draenor while we wait for Galleon to spawn. The residents of this fair server have decided that the only thing that will possibly summon Galleon (before we all die of boredom) is a Mammoth train.
Yes, that's right, a Mammoth train, or a Mammoth circle to be precise.
I have witnessed more than one of these and joined in on a few, here is one screenshot I took last time:
Yes that's me on the Yak, I like to be different ^^
I love the fact that no matter how large the community, how little we usually interact in groups this big, there is still the potential to just have a good time and laugh. Shortly after this someone decided to break up the circle as always happens when someone deems they don't want anyone to have fun anymore, but then Galleon spawned and was killed and all rejoiced!
My next screenshot is from another world boss, one that invariably I end up dead on every week. the formidable Oondasta.
Well, I say formidable, as most of us have found out, if you throw enough bodies at him, he does go down eventually.
I first killed him on my alliance druid over on Steamwheedle Cartel, in a cross server group, before they took away and brought back the ability for him to be looted this way.
We threw at least three raid groups of people at him over and over until he finally died. There were many many skeletons:
I also like trying to grab good screenshots, even if I'm already dead - Action shot!
Granted when you're dead, that is pretty much the best angle for those kind of shots.
I also like finding some of the secret things that are still around in Wow! Like this lovely song by the Fey Drunk Darters in Tirisfal Glade:
Still have absolutely no idea why they do it, or what it's for. Hidden easter eggs by Blizzard are great fun!
Also found these guys in Mulgore:
World's most dangerous critters!
In Orgrimmar, by the Pandarian Balloon, there is a small Panda cub called Luo Luo:
In Stormwind, by the Pandarian Balloon, there is a small Panda cub called Meng Meng:
If you /pat them, they will give you a Magical Bamboo Shoot. This enables you to turn in to a Panda Cub for 10 minutes!
This does result in some strange behaviour though:
I still wander and explore and sometimes find things that I have no idea what they are for at the time:
And some things that I never find out what they are for:
That is all today! I still have loads of screenshots but I feel I should save some for another time :)
