Faster at 66

Monday, November 12th, 2007

I’ve reached level 66 with Kronas now and have eventually hoarded enough gold to buy my epic mount, [Reins of the Swift Stormsaber].

I also went, after getting my mount, and ran Zul’Farrak to get [Carrot on a Stick] which I never got when I ran the instance at around level 40. So I have a new epic mount, +100% speed, [Carrot on a Stick] and [Mithril Spurs] on my riding boots to give me a speed increase of around 112%.

Questing will be all that faster now.

When you’re hot… you’re level 63

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

So I’ve been questing a bit more and dinged 63 earlier on today. It didn’t take too long with a full bar’s worth of rested XP. Also doing quests in Zangarmarsh is great as there are a lot of mobs eavenly spread out and they all seem to be level 61 - 63 as far as I’ve seen. The quests overlap quite a bit so it’s easy to go out and do 4-5 quests before returning to complete them and pick up more.

I met up with a friend to do some of the Hellfire group quests, mainly just to get [Bladefist's Breadth]. Between levels 62 and 63 I managed to pick up some fairly decent hunter rewards from questing: [Expedition Repeater] and [Expedition Forager Leggings] (which I’ve replaced on hitting 63 with [Felscale Pants]).

Finally at 62

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

I finally got off my arse and levelled Kronas from 61 to 62 last night. I only had 1/2 - 2/3 of the level to complete and was fully rested.

It took me a total of 4 hours to level up - that’s 8 hours of non-rested time (or thereabouts). All the quests I did were situated in Hellfire Penisula, mostly around level 63.

Once I’d dinged, I completed the quests I was on and hearthed back to Shattrath City where I ported to Stormwind. Picked up the level 62 talents, and upgraded my legs and shoulders armour.

So it’s around 16 hours playtime from 61 - 62 (probably a bit high), meaning it may be something similar from 62 - 63.

Nice thing is, I made about 50G in the process. Well back to the questing.

Back to World of Warcraft

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

It’s been ages since I’ve even looked at this blog. I actually stopped playing World of Warcraft for a while, not long after neglecting this site. I’m back now however and in full swing of things. I’ve updated the visuals on the site to be more along the lines of the World of Warcraft interface and am looking into pulling data down from the armoury section of the WoW site.

Since being away from here I’ve added two new characters to my ensemble: Duxun a male Draenei Shaman and Karnta a female Draenei Hunter. I’ve levelled Duxun up to 20 and Karnta up to 30. All other characters are now above level 20, see below:

  • Baradlin - 20
  • Despin - 20
  • Duxun - 20
  • Elizana - 20
  • Golan - 20
  • Hurn - 26
  • Karnta - 30
  • Kronas - 61
  • Sorfira - 20
  • Tantharos - 20

I hope to update this site more now that I’m back playing the game, however I’ll be keeping updates to important things rather than character profiles as it was previously. I aim to highlight the, in my opinion, easiest ways to level up in stages of 10 levels as well as highlight any race/class specific quests that I run into along the way. Another thing to expect will be details of how each class compares to each other in PvE gameplay at each level range.

That’s all for now.

Sockade Run

Today, after spending 1G 80S on some equptiment for Golan I decided that I’d run the Stockades a few times, three in total, to get back the money I’d spend and get some items for around level 20 for each character and for disenchanting.
