Blaugust day 31 - Goodbye Blaugust!

Hi,

It's the last day of Blaugust. What a month it's been, and what a week it's been. It's been fun posting every single day, but I'll be happy to get back to once a week. Yep, Blaugust is over, but I will still post every week.

So, a lot happened this week. Shammybrit got to 100 and got Alchemy to 700, and is now converting lots of Sorcerous to Sorcerous Earth for the others. She also made the 640 Trinket for herself as the third crafted piece.

Elfybrit made it to 90, and got into Draenor. She's now doing Frostfire Ridge, getting mining leveled up and has started on JC. She recently upgraded her Garrison to level 2, and has now got a mine too, now that she is level 92. The thing I'm doing differently on Elfy is not doing any Follower Missions until she's 100 and has the Garrison all set up. This is to save Garrison Resources. We'll see how this compares to doing Follower Missions all along.

I also leveled up Lockybrit quite a bit. She made level 68 and into Northrend. She's now 69 having run Utgarde Keep, and is nearly level 70. She will be the next one to get to 100 after Elfy does.

Last night and this morning, I leveled Huntingbrit a bit. She ran Hallfire Ramparts and Blood Furnace and quested a bit and leveled mining and hit 64 this morning. This is to let others rest up a bit.

The other thing I did on the weekend was get on my Alliance Priest and get the final 10 treasures for Draenor Pathfinder. I can wait until Elfybrit will be flying while leveling in Draenor tomorrow!

I also ran Priesty through Firelands last night. Getting more serious about making gold now. She's at about 106K now.

In Hearthstone, I purchased the last three wings of Naxx with $$. I cleared the 3rd wing, and first boss of the 4th wing. Then I crafted two Ironbark Owls for the 2nd boss of the 4th wing, and beat it with my Priest this morning. I've been doing quests on both America and Europe. I also played Ranked in Europe with my Priest and got to Rank 20. So, Rank 19 in America, and Rank 20 in Europe.

And of course, there was the almost disaster of not being able to log in to play. I had an Authenticator for Battlenet. It was on the old phone, so didn't work on my new one. I had to submit a ticket, and get in a live chat with a very friendly GM to get the Authenticator removed from the account. Then I could log in again.

Now, let's see how the WoW Master Plan is coming along.

Leveling: Get each one to 100. Counting 90-100. Out of 100.

Blaugust Day 30 - Disaster Averted!

Hi,

It's the 30th (and pen-ultimate) day of Blaugust. Let's see what I was up to, and what the title is all about.

Last night, I came into the den expecting to play WoW for a while. However, it asked me to log in again (must have been 30 days), and then asked for the Authenticator code. Well, I got a new phone recently, so downloaded the Auth, and of course it didn't work. I couldn't understand why not, but it all makes sense. The Auth is tied to a particular device. My old phone was traded in and so that's a non starter. The saving grace was that the Laptop was still ok - phew. I submitted a ticket, then got in a live chat with a GM this morning. After answering questions to make sure I was actually me, they removed the Auth, and I'm now able to log in in the den again. Phew - Disaster averted!

So, last night. I did take Elfybrit into Draenor. She started on the FFR quests, got her Garrison started, and got the JC hut set up and started getting Taladite Crystals. She also got to 91, and got the crafted Cloak and Gloves from Preisty. The only other thing I got done in WoW last night was to convert a lot of Sorcerous stuff to Sorcerous Earth, and crafted a few Hexweave Bags for the AH. Also, Priesty made a couple of Hexweave Essence for Elfy.

In Hearthstone, I didn't do much, but got on Europe, and finished the deal 100 damage playing my Mage, and got the 2 wins required for a quest too. I crafted another pack and got 2 Temple Enforcers! They went straight in my Priest deck.

This morning, I just did the Garrison stuff, then the Cooking and Fishing daily on Locky, the Garrison fishing daily on Beasty, and Beasty trapped more Elites in Nagrand. I played Hearthstone on Americas, had the win 5 as Hunter or Druid, Deal 100 damage to Heroes, and kill 40 minions. I did Tavern Brawl a few times, picking Hunter, and managed 1 win be made good progress on the other quests.

That's about it. Last Blaugust post tomorrow. It will another massive weekly update.

I hope to play Locky a bit today, maybe Elfy a bit more, and get the Americas Hearthstone quests done.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 29 - Elfy gets to 90!

Hi,

It's the 29th day of Blaugust. Let's see what I was up to last night and this morning.

The title news will come at the end, because it happened this morning. Last night, after Garrison chores and other chores (Priesty was low on Sumptuous Fur and Beasty was low on caged elites), Lockybrit got more play time. She completed a few dungeons, did more questing in Nagrand, and made it 68. She's now ready to hit Northrend.

In Hearthstone (Americas), I built a warrior deck for the 4 Horsemen (last boss of wing 3 of Naxx), and it worked perfectly, taking down the boss no problem. I then did the two class challenges that it opened up. This first was easy, but the 2nd, Warlock, took me about 3 tries to get it right. I then went on Europe and saw I had the win 2 with Priest or Warrior, and deal 100 damage to heroes. So I played my Priest casually, and went 2-0 and got 1 quest out of the way, with the 2nd about half done.

So, this morning, I did follower missions, and then played Elfybrit until she hit 90. It was questing in Jade Forest until 88, then a little bit of Valley of the Four Winds. Getting into Kun-Lai, doing quests up to One Keg to get the Grummlepack, hitting Temple of the White Tige, and she hit 90 doing the Winter's Blossom quests. She then got Pandaria flying, and flew around VFW and Dread Wastes, leveling mining a bit (now at 584). She's about to step through the portal to talk to Khadgar:

Ely about to step through the portal
That's about it. No Hearthstone yet. I'll see what the quests are today, and try to bang them out. I also might try the 4th wing of Naxx. In WoW, I'll take Elfy into Draenor, and get started on the Jewelcrafting, I hope.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 28 - My Hexweave Gloves are Selling!

Hi,

It's the 28th day of Blaugust. Let's see what I got up to last night and this morning.

First, about the title. I've held off putting the six Hexweave Gloves I crafted on the AH, because they cost 6g each time they don't sell. But I saw only one up there for 1500g, so decided to list them all again for 1K each. And 2 of them sold! Yay. Priesty is now up to 99k gold :)

So, Garrison chores last night, and then I got on Lockybrit and ran Underbog and Mana Tombs while questing in Nagrand. She made it to level 66. So looking forward to getting her to 68 and into Northrend soon.

Contrary to what I said, I did play a lot of Hearthstone last night. I got the 5 wins as Mage or Hunter on Americas, and so I decided to try and get the wins on Tavern Brawl.  I did fine, and knocked it out using Mage in about 9 or 10 games. I also built a Paladin deck for Inspector Razuvious on Naxx, and actually succeeded!! It was a rush deck off the internet. I also played on Europe, and got another win as a Rogue, completing two quests. I tried the next boss with my Priest, but failed horribly, but at least saw what it did. I then built a Paladin deck for it, but didn't have time to try it again.

This morning, after follower missions, I quested on Elfybrit in Jade Forest, getting her to level 87. She killed the Jade Witch :)

Take that, Jade Witch!
She's now ready to do the Jade quests (you know, the taking Jade to people) and will soon head to VFW and Kun-Lai.

I played a bit of Hearthstone this morning too. Just trying my Paladin against the 2nd boss of the 3rd wing. Yes!! Success. It felt really good, because I built the deck from stratch, just knowing what the boss could do. I had enough gold, and bought another pack. I got 2 Unleash the Hounds in it :) Faith in Hearthstone restored.

Tonight, I will play Lockybrit and hope to get her into Northrend. I might also play Elfybrit, and I'll also play a bit of Hearthstone.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 27 - Only 4 Days to Go!

Hi,

It's the 27th day of Blaugust, and there are only 4 more days of it. It's been fun, but I'll be happy to get back to only doing my Blog once a week. Here's what I was up to last night and this morning.

After Garrison, Sunsong Ranch, and Timeless Isle stuff, I got back on Lockybrit and quested in Zangamarsh, and did Hellfire Ramparts, Blood Furnace, and the Slave Pens (queuing for them individually for the quests). She got to level 64 pretty quickly and I then parked her in Shattrath to rest up.

I also took Elfybrit into Pandaria last night, doing the first series of quests and getting to the Village for the portal to and from Pandaria. She also did the cooking and fishing daily in Orgrimmar, just for some XP, gold, and helping towards the Guild Daily quest goal.

Shammy also made the 640 trinket for herself, which made her iLvL 615 and ready for LFR (although I don't know when I'll have time for that ::).

I played quite a bit of Hearthstone last night, but it was quite frustrating. I played on America and just tried to bang out the 3 wins with any class quest. I took my Priest into Ranked, but lost twice and so decided to play casual. It still took about 10 more games in casual to get the 3 wins. I was drawing horribly. On some of my losses, I hadn't drawn either Northshire Cleric, even though I only had about 10 or 12 cards still to draw. I also tried to down the first boss of the third wing in Naxx. I tried twice with the Warrior I'd built, and failed miserably both times.

Then I played on Europe. Two quests. One was win 2 with Rogue or Paladin, and the other was win 2 with Rogue or Druid. Well, easy then, built a Rogue deck, and got 1 win, but then lost twice and just gave up for the evening. Really left me a bit dejected and wondering if I should give it for now, and concentrate on WoW.

This morning, I got back on Elfybrit and continued in Jade Forest. She did a lot of questing and got up to the point when she's about to do the quests where the NPCs tell their stories. She got to level 86 1/2. She also picked up quite a bit of Ghost Iron Ore, leveling mining a bit more. I also got back on Lockybrit and quested in Nagrand, banging out the first few quests.

That's about it. The plan for tonight is to play Lockybrit some more, doing dungeons and questing in Nagrand. Don't know if I'll play any Hearthstone, we'll see. Although I must admit that buying packs with gold and opening them is fun :)

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 26 - I Love My Follower Missions!

Hi,

It's the 26th day of Blaugust. Let's see what I was up to last night and this morning.

Well, as the title says, I do love follower missions. Especially when this shows up:

Blingtron's Secret Vault - 4000g
It's the first time I've had this mission for ages. Really nice, and got Priesty to over 90K this morning. Priesty, Beasty, and Shammy are all doing their follower missions now, and the gold is flowing nicely (even though not as much as before the nerf).

So, Shammy got invited to visit a Herb Trader, and she got all the Trinket recipes, and all the Transmute stuff. So she transmuted tons of other Sorcerous into Sorcerous Earth. Beasty then made 4 Burnished Essences. She used 2 on her Gloves, and sent 2 to Shammy for her Gloves.

I also leveled Voidbrit some more last night, doing lots of dungeons and questing in Nagrand. Funny thing though. I realized I was leveling the wrong character. She's not my Scribe, Lockybrit is. Duh! Anyway, got her to 66, and then stopped.

On Hearthstone, I had the win 3 as Paladin on Americas. So, I played a couple of games and got 1 win. But then (in casual mind you) I faced an absolutely top tier Warrior Grim Patron deck. I lost, and gave up for while. But I decided to come back later to see if I would actually have fun again, and I did, getting the other 2 wins in about 4 games.

This morning, I leveled Elfybrit in Uldum. Lots of quests and Elementium Ore later, she dinged 85! Ready to go to Pandaria now. I really enjoyed just questing away in Cata in the mornings. Hardly anyway else around. It was great. I also corrected my mistake, and did the Naga quests on Lockybrit, getting her close to 62.

I played a smidgen of Hearthstone this morning. I purchased the final 3 wings of Naxx for 14.99 and tried out my Priest against the first boss of the third wing. It wasn't really close, and I lost. I will look up strats for it, but I think running with tons of Taunts, and > 3 health minions and healing would be good. Maybe a warrior for Armor too.

That's it. More tomorrow. Tonight I will level Lockybrit more, I think, and may take Elfybrit into Pandaria, or leave that to tomorrow. In Hearthstone, I'll try to get quests completed.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 25 - My 3rd Horde 100!

Hi,

It's the 25th day of Blaugust. Let's see what I got up to last night and this morning.

After doing the Garrison stuff on Priesty and Beasty, and playing some Hearthstone (more on that later), I hopped on 99 and 47% Shammybrit, and quested like crazy in Nagrand. I had to go really deep in the zone, eventually getting to the scenario with Garrosh, where she dinged 100! She finished the scenario, and ported back to her Garrison. She had already created tons of potions and some flasks to get to 700, so it was an all out great night for Shammy.

In Hearthstone, I got on Americas, and re-rolled the 40g quest and got the 100g 7 wins one. Yay. So I just used my Priest against the AI and got the 7 wins easily. On Europe, I had two quests. Win 3 games, and kill 40 minions. I got on the Priest, and played Rank, and got the quests complete and got to Rank 23.

Wife and I watched another episode of Masterchef last night, so I didn't get to play a great deal.

This morning, after doing Follower missions, I noticed I was just shy of 2000 GRs on Shammy. So, she got 74 more from the garrison cache and upgraded the Garrison to level 3. Now she can start working on getting all the buildings set up and upgraded etc.

Then, I played on Elfybrit. I transferred 2000g from Priesty and got 280% flying. Then she flew down to Tanaris and got into Uldum. She quested for a bit, and then flew all over Uldum, mining up Elementium Ore. She got to 500 Mining, and dinged level 84.

One other thing. Priesty AHed tons of stuff yesterday. True Iron Ore, Blackrock Ore, Savage Blood, Draenic Intellect Potion, Saronite Ore, Cobalt Ore, and made about 8K off the auctions, so even giving Elfy 2K, she's still up to 86K now.

That's it for today. I'll play Voidbrit a bit tonight I think, and do the Hearthstone quests.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 24 - The Week That Was!

Hi,

It's the 24th day of Blaugust. Let's see what I got up to in WoW and Hearthstone.

So, Shammy is nearly 100. Just didn't get her there last night. Got her to 99 1/2. There's no hurry though. Still lots of characters to get to 100, and it will come this week. Here's Shammy all geared up, and shows all my other character levels too:

Shammy all geared up
Even though Shammy is not quite 100, she's already got iLvL 606, because of the two crafted pieces. This is great because it contributes to the Master Plan. She also got Herbalism to 700. Alchemy is coming along, at 560 now.

Priesty and Beasty did all the Garrison stuff, and they both dabbled in Timeless Isle too. With all the passive Garrison income, and AHing all the Ore, and old world stuff, Priesty is now just over 80K gold. Which is not bad at all. None of the Hexweave Gloves sold, even for 1K each, so they're now in the guild bank for the other cloth characters. Beasty actually bought 280% flying, so she's really poor now.

There was a major push on Elfybrit, and she got through Northrend and into Cataclysm. She quested through Mount Hyjal, and this morning got to 83, ready to head to Uldum.

After Elfy, the next one to get to 100 will be my Scribe, Voidbrit. So I did play her a bit, getting her to 64, and ready to head to Nagrand. She got to 62 questing in mornings, and then queued for dungeons like crazy in the evenings. She's not at Underbog yet, so still has plenty of dungeons with quests to do while questing in Nagrand.

In Hearthstone, I made major progress on both the Americas and European realms. I made sure to do the quests each day on America, and did Tavern Brawling, and even got the 5 wins in Tavern Brawl. Also, now that I had cleared the first two wings of Naxx, I decided to do the Class challenges. I cleared them all first time. Hardest was Rogue. My Rogue was down to 3 life, but I then played the minion that allows you to get hero health to 15. Phew. Won easily after that. I also played a bit more Ranked, but just couldn't get above rank 19. On European, I cleared all the regular AI, all the expert AI, and then started Ranked there too. I only made it to Rank 24 though. Starting to do the quest there every day too. My plan is to open Raid wings in America to get more cards, and just buy packs in European, to see which plan pans out better.

Now, let's see how the WoW Master Plan is coming along.

Leveling: Get each one to 100. Counting 90-100. Out of 100.

Shammy starts contributing. 29/100 29%

Gearing: Get each character to 675. Counting 600-675. Out of 750.

Miniscule progress. 111/750 14.8%

Crafted Gear: Get 3 pieces of fully upgraded gear on each character. Out of 180 (given 6.2).

More upgrades this week. 19/180 10.6%

Professions: Get 2 professions on each character to 700. Counting each profession. Out of 20.

Shammy got Herbalism to 700. 5/20 25%

Secondary Profs: Get all 4 secondary profs on all to 700. Counting each prof. Out of 40.

Nothing new this week. 2/40 5%

Complete Draenor: Each zone complete and Bonus Objectives complete. Out of 50.

Nothing new this week. 10/50 20%

Guild Achievements: Get to 200.

Nothing new this week. 30/200 15%

Gold: Get to 1M Gold on each character. Out of 10M.

About 82K on all characters. 82000/10,000,000 0.8%

Dreanor Reps: Get 3 Draenor reps Exalted on each character. Out of 30.

Nothing yet. 0%

Followers: Get 25 followers on each character to 675. Out of 250.

Nothing yet. 0%

Overall Plan progress = 12.20%

Good progress.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 23 - Elfy gets to 80!

Hi,

It's the 23rd day of Blaugust. Let's see what happened yesterday and this morning.

Yay, I got Elfybrit to 80 last night. She did each dungeon once to get the quests. Halls of Stone (easy run) followed by Halls of Lightning (not so easy). Let me tell you about HoL. The Tank hadn't been there before and kept going the wrong way. The Tank couldn't keep aggro and the healer wasn't great. A DPS was AFK and when we got a new one they lagged behind. It was the dungeon from hell, dying a few times on the first boss. I took it upon myself to talk to them and tell them what to do, and we didn't have any wipes after the first boss. She dinged 80 handing in the quests.

I also leveled Shammy more yesterday too. She did the whole of Spires of Arak, and hit 98 before the end of it. She's ready for Nagrand.

In Hearthstone, I did try Brawls again. Got 2 wins as Mage, then 2 losses as a Hunter and quit. I'm sure I did something else but can't remember now, LOL.

Anyway, this morning, I started Elfybrit in Mount Hyjal. She breezed though quite a few quests, due to the lack of CRZ in the morning, and then got to the Shrine of Goldrin.

Elfy in Mount Hyjal
She's now level 81.

I also played Shammy this morning. She's now questing it Nagrand, and got Lantressor as a follower. Get down the mine, Lantressor. She also got her herb garden upgraded to level 2 and assigned a follower to it. Shammy also got in Skyreach for the end quest of Skyreach, and to get the 640 ring. It was a great run. Tank and Healer were awesome.

In Hearthstone, I got on European, and defeated each expert AI with my Basic Priest. This got me to 600 gold, and I bought 6 packs. It was fun opening them. Then I built and aggressive damage deck for the 100 hero damage quest, and knocked it out.

So, that's where it stands. I hope to get Shammy to 100 later today. Massive weekly update tomorrow.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 22 - WoW and Hearthstone

Hi,

It's day 22 of Blaugust. Let's see what I was up to last night and this morning.

I didn't meet the goals I set for myself last night, but at least I did some of it. I did get Shammy to 96 - Yay! All set up with a Herb Garden and ready to go to Spires of Arak. It only took questing the first half of Talador with some bonus objectives and rares thrown in.

So, I didn't get Elfy to 80, but I did also play a bit of Hearthstone. I switched out the Win 5 Tavern Brawl quest and got the spectate quest. Pretty useless because I don't have any HS friends. Oh well, the other was win 5 as Hunter or Mage. So I got on my Hunter and got 3 wins in about 6 games. This morning, I finished the 5 wins, got a Win 2 as Shaman or Druid and won a couple on my Shaman in about 4 games. I switched out the Spectate quest and yuck it was back to win 5 Tavern Brawls. Not doing that.

Also this morning, I started leveling Voidbrit a bit. She's my Scribe, and will be the next to move ahead after Elfybrit. She did all the Naga quests, and made it to 62.

Another thing, after watching the Footy (Leicester vs Spurs), I got back on Shammy and headed to Spires of Arak. She got quite a way in, did the Pinchwhistle quests for the Salvage Yard, got the mining speed up pick, and is now 97.

That's where it stands. I'll probably get to play quite a bit more today, but we're going out to eat tonight, as our son is off camping this weekend.

I will finally get back on Elfy and get her to 80, and probably level Shammy and Locky some more. In Hearthstone, I might try the Tavern Brawl again, but maybe not.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 21 - Stuff Happened in WoW and Hearthstone

Hi,

Day 21 of Blaugust and I'm having a hard time coming up with good titles :) Let's see what I got up to, last night and this morning.

Garrison missions, Herb Garden and Mine, and Prof stuff on my 3 90+. Then Timeless Isle on Priesty and Beasty. Then, I decided to level Shammy a bit more. She did the Frostfire Ridge level 94 stuff which was good, because she got more Frostweed. Then, she went to Talador and did a couple of bonus objectives, and did the Khadgar bit at the start. She dinged 95 and then I sent her to Warspear and she got the Alchemy Lab L2 plans. She's now got the level 2 Alchemy Lab, with a follower assigned.

I also leveled Elfybrit. She did some dungeons and a lot more Basin questing, and hit 78 last night.

So, in Hearthstone, I tried to get the 5 Tavern Brawl wins done. I had two games where I got the Hunter, bad luck on Jousts swung the game to the opponent, and I said - screw it, this is no fun. So, I popped over to Europe and leveled the last class to level 10 and got another 100g. I'll x out the Tavern Brawl quest to see what else I can get tonight.

This morning, after Garrison missions, was spent leveling Elfybrit some more. She got to 78 and 90% from doing the first sets of Icecrown quests, up to killing those 3 named mobs. So, I decided to hit Wintergrasp again for more mining. She got tons more Saronite and some Titanium, and hit 79, and got mining to 450:

Elfy mining Saronite in Wintergrasp
That's where I left it. Came into work early, so I can leave early this afternoon.

Lots of goals for tonight. Get Shammy to 96, get Elfy to 80, and do some Hearthstone questing.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 20 - Shammy and Elfy (WoW) and Brawling (HS)

Hi,

It's Day 20 of Blaugust. Let's see what I got up to last night and this morning.

First off, Follower Missions and Prof stuff, and Mine and Herb garden for Priesty, Beasty, and Shammy (minus the Herb Garden). Then, I did Timeless Isle on Priesty and Beasty. Skipped Sunsong Ranch last night, because I only need to do it every other day. Then, I noticed that Clefthoof Cages were getting very low on Beasty (1!), so I went to Nagrand to get it back above 20.

Then, I changed my mind over just playing Elfy through to 90. I remembered why I wanted Shammy at 100 (converting Sorcerous from one to another) so I decided to play her a bit. She quested in Gorgrond, and soon got to 94, and completed the zone questing achievement. She's now back at her garrison, ready to do the level 94 quests in FFR and then hit Talador.

I played a fair bit of Hearthstone last night. I went in to Tavern Brawl, and had fun playing the new TGT cards. IMHO Inspire is a fine mechanic, and might actually be useful, whereas Jousting is really garbage RNG massive swings in gameplay and I don't like it at all. Well, getting a pack from my first win was nice, and on the second win (after about 5 games) I completed the quest (win 2 as Mage or Hunter). I played on European a bit too, getting the Druid to level 10 and starting on the Warlock (last one). On European, I think I'll just open packs with gold, instead of saving up and running NAXX.

This morning, I decided to get back to leveling Elfybrit. She hit up Shlozar Basin, and did lots of questing there. She also got to mine a lot of Saronite, leveling up Mining. At one point, there were others doing the same quests, so she flew around Wintergrasp, getting tons of Saronite, and Titanium Chunks and getting Mining to over 400. She's level 77 now.

That's about it. I think I'll play Elfy more tonight and see if I can get her to 80, with a combination of questing and Dungeons. I'll also Brawl a bit more on HS, because the quest is - Win 5 Brawls.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 19 - Elfy and Druid (HS)

Hi,

It's the 19th day of Blaugust. Let's see what I was up to last night and this morning.

After doing the Garrison stuff on Priesty, Beasty, and Shammy. Then Sunsong Ranch on Priesty and Timeless Isle on both Priesty and Beasty, I spent last night leveling Elfybrit. She did more Dragonblight and Dungeons, and got to level 74. Then she headed over to Grizzly Hills and got to 75 before the end of the evening.

This morning, she quested more in Grizzly Hills, and flew all around Howling Fjord leveling up Mining and getting lots of Cobalt Ore. She ended up in Granite Springs:

Elfy about to hit 76
She didn't have to do many quests there, and soon after, she was 76 and hearthed back to Dalaran.

The plan is to continue on Elfy to 90. I may try and get them all to 90 before further leveling Shammy, but I'll probably change my mind at some point.

Hearthstone: The quest last night was win 5 as Druid or Rogue. So, I fired up my Druid deck, looked up Basic Druid Deck on icy-veins.com, built it, and went into to Play mode. It didn't take that many games to get 5 wins. I think I actually went 5-2. One win was very lucky. Against a Hunter, he was about to clear my board and have a real winning advantage, but then he roped out, and next turn - Opponent has Left. Boom. Phew.

I leveled a Druid on the European Realm this morning, winning about 3 games against the AI.

That's it folks. More tomorrow.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 18 - Spending time in Northrend!

Hi,

It's the 18th day of Blaugust. Let's see what I was up to last night (but not this morning, because both WoW and Hearthstone were down for maintenance).

After doing the Garrrison stuff, and Sunsong Ranch and Timeless Isle, I thought to myself - Why haven't I gone to Timeless Isle on Beastybrit? So, she got Pandaria flying, flew to Chromie and started the TI quests netting a good bit of gold, and will now probably go there every day as well as Priesty.

After that, it was Elfybrit all evening. She did the Nexus, some questing, more random Dungeons, questing. Then, she got to 72 and got into Azul-Nerob (sp?). Anyway, more questing, more Dungeons, got to 73, and hit Dragonblight. She did the quests in the little Tuskar village in the south and then ported back to Dalaran to rest up. She'll go to Grizzly Hills once she gets to 74.

I also played a little Hearthstone. The quest was one I hadn't seen before. It's was Play 40 Minions that cost 2 or less. I started out on my Priest, but was shocked when I finished the first game that I'd only played 5 minions that qualify. So, I built a brand new Paladin Deck, with only 1 and 2 cost minions and quite a few Paladin abilities, The goal was to hold out as long as possible and play as many minions as I could. It worked better than expected. Out of the 3 games I needed to get the quest done, I actually won two of them. LOL.

That's it for today. I'll level Elfy more tonight, and hopefully complete the Hearstone quest too.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 17 - The Week That Was!

Hi,

It's the 17th day of Blaugust. It's time for a weekly update.

A lot of progress on all fronts this week. The most notable was getting Shammybrit to 90 and getting into Draenor. She's completed Frosfire Ridge now, and also the bonus objectives, and is now questing in Gorgrond at 93. She's got the level 2 Garrison, and has a mine, and is starting to do follower missions. She's also getting Alchemy leveled now, and got it to 263 already. I nearly forgot to craft her a couple of pieces, but I remembered this morning, and she's now got the crafted Cloak, and Gloves.

Priestybrit and Beastybrit continued doing all their Garrison stuff, and Preisty was auctioning off tons of stuff. One notable morning, Preisty got 1535g from Garrison missions alone. She's now got 67K.

With all the others, I got them all into Outland, and got them all started on Zangamarsh questing. The first two (Kataru and minions, and Boglash) and the second lot (Kill Blag, get Belongings, Kill 10/10) are all done on all now, and all are at least 61. All the Naga quests are still to come on most of them. It was great getting the Kataru and Sporrgar quests done early in the morning. They're very painful when there's tons of CRZ going on in the evening.

I decided to level Elfybrit ahead of the pack now, and have her be the next one to get tot Draenor. I got her to 68 easy enough. This morning, I leveled her in Borean Tundra and got her to 70 and then stationed her in Dalaran:

Shadowy Elfy in Dalaran
That's about it for WoW. I'm really happy getting Shammy to 93 and hope to get her to 96 soon.

In Hearthstone, I started playing again later in the week on both the Americas, and Europe. In Europe, I leveled more classes, and only have 2 to go now. In Americas, I did quests and got them completed in Casual. I got to 700g and bought the second wing of Naxx. I completed the first two bosses easily enough with my Priest, but lost against the 3rd boss, because I really didn't know what he was going to play etc. But, the second time, I played really well, and with killing his spores, I had two Northshire Clerics with 17 attack each :). So, now I have completed wing 2!!

Now, let's see how the WoW Master Plan is coming along.

Leveling: Get each one to 100. Counting 90-100. Out of 100.

Shammy starts contributing. 23/100 23%

This coming week, I want to get Shammy to 100, and level Elfy some more, and maybe level the others a bit more too. I've really forgotten all about Legion and what's coming in the next expansion. It's not going to be here for ages and ages, so I'm putting it to the back of my mind for now. I've plenty to keep me busy in the meantime.


In Hearthstone, now I've completed the second wing of Naxx, I'll update all my decks to hopefully be a bit better. Then I will continue doing quests until I get another 700g to open up the third wing.


Cheers.

Blaugust Day 16 - Shammy haz Garrison!

Hi,

It's the 16th day of Blaugust. Let's see what I got up to yesterday and this morning.

Shammy made inroads into Draenor yesterday. She did the starting stuff and got her Garrison set up.

Shammy Cheering in her Garrison
She also got the Alchemy quest, and completed it and got the recipes and is now set up to do the daily CD each day, and craft tons of potions and flasks (once she gets some secrets). So, she crafted up tons of potions and went from level 1 Alchemy to level 172. Once I get her to 500, I have tons of Green Tea Leaf and will make tons of Master Healing potions that vendor for 60s each. A nice little earner.

She got to level 61 and has four followers now, and has the Alchemy shack. Need to get her to 92 for the mine next, and then 96 for the Herb Garden.

I also played Elfy quite a lot, questing in Nagrand and doing Dungeon after Dungeon. She made it to 68.

I also stocked up on Trapping crates on Beasty last night as I was getting low. Only had 7 left, so went out and trapped another 20 or so elites.

I played quite a bit of Hearthstone yesterday. I decided to play Americas and get the quests done. I had the win 5 as Priest/Pally, and got on my Priest. The first 4 wins came in about 5 games, but the 5th took ages. Bad draw after bad draw etc. But I eventually got it against a Shaman that really didn't look like they knew what they were doing.

This morning, I got Combat through the Sporeggar caves, and also Hunting. They are now all at least 61 and completed the Kataru and Sporeggar parts of Zangamarsh. Nagas next :)

I also played at bit of Hearthstone this morning, completed the quest (100 damage to Heros) and got to 710 gold. I bought the 2nd quarter of Naxx, and downed the first boss with my Priest.

That's it folks. Major update tomorrow, seeing how I'm doing on the Master Plan etc.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 15 - Shammy gets to 90!

Hi,

It's the 15th day of Blaugust. Let's see what I was up to last night and this morning.

YES!! I got Shammy to 90 last night. So excited. Did Jade Forest up to nearly 88, then only a smattering of Valley of the Four Winds. Then on to Kun-Lai and finished off there. While I was questing, I also saw Sha of Anger getting attacked, so I joined in and got 476 from the quest off it. I got the Grumble Sack, and soon after, got to 90. Beasty mailed 4 Timeless pieces (I store them all in Beasty's Bank) to Shammy to give her a head start in Draenor.

Here she is, about to step through the Portal and help Kahdgar out:

About to help Khadgar
This was of course, after doing Garrison stuff, Sensing Ranch, and Timeless Isle. While Priesty did the Ranch and TI, she queued for Imperator's Rise, as she had the quest for it. Well, no loot, and the 645 from the quest was worse than the 670 PvP she had, but a fair bit of gold was OK.

I also played a little Hearthstone last night, leveling my Hunter to 10 against the AI, and starting on my Rogue on the European side of things.

This morning, Combatbrit explored all of Hellfire Peninsula, and mined up lots of Fel Iron Ore. She then did the Boglash and Katuru quests. Yay. All finished with the stupid Kataru quest on all characters. Mageybrit did the Sporeggar caves, and got to 61. Now Combat is the only one who didn't go to the caves yet.

In Hearthstone, I decided to play a bit on Americas again. I've got the win 2 as something or Warlock, Win 5 as Pally or Priest, and kill 40 minions quests. So, I built the basic Warlock deck, and knocked out the win 2 in about 4 or 5 games. I'll finish off the minions, and play my Priest later today.

That's about it. I'll take Shammy into Draenor today, and hopefully get the Garrison set up, and start working on leveling Alchemy. Also, I think I'll work on Elfy a bit.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 14 - Shammy and Elfy!

Hi,

It's day 14 of Blaugust. Let's see what I got up to last night and this morning.

After the Garrison stuff in the evening, I got on Shammy and leveled in jade Forest a bit more. I got her to Dawn's Blossom, and did the first few quests there, and got her to level 87, ready to go to Valley of the Four Winds. Hmm. Should I do the Jade questline, or go do some VFW and then Kun-Lai? I'm torn.

I also played Elfy a bit. She's leveling in Nagrand now, and got to run Slave Pens too. She got to level 65. I've decided that I will level her ahead of the pack too. I want a max level JC to make rings for my characters. I'm thinking back, hands, and ring for the 3 crafted pieces on everyone. Maybe an Alchemy trinket or two instead of the ring on a couple. Don't know what I'll do with my scribe then. Maybe just craft basic staves to sell on the AH.

This morning, I dabbled with Lockybrit, Mageybrit, and Combatbrit. Lockybrit did the Sporregar caves, and had the same issue as Voidbrit the other day. I think I've figured out what's going on though. I think there's an invisible mob, because the sporregar there seemed to be fighting against someone. So, I was getting hit with Entagling Roots, and ran away and away and eventually it stopped. I didn't die this time, thankfully. Anyway, she got to 61. I had Magebrit do the Kataru and Boglash quests, and then hole up in the Inn. I had Combatbrit do the Fishing and Cooking daily in Org, and then headed to Hellfire Pen and flew around mining Fel Iron Ore, before holing up in Thrallmar.

No Hearthstone again. I'll probably play a bit over the weekend though.

That's it, the plan tonight is to level Shammy and Elfy some more.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 13 - Shammy gets to Pandaria!

Hi,

It's the 13th day of Blaugust. Here's what I got up to last night and this morning.

After doing Garrison stuff and Sunsong Ranch/Timeless Isle, I spent all night on Shammybrit last night. She breezed through Mount Hyjal to get to 83, and then hit Uldum. She got Herbing to 525 and leveled to 84 last night. Didn't spend too much time playing, as Wife and I watched an episode of MasterChef.

Then, after doing Follower missions this morning, I played her exclusively this morning. An, she dinged 85 and headed off to Pandaria.

Shammy about to shoot the Alliance
It was great questing this morning, because hardly anyone else was around.Cata was really really quick, and I'm hoping Pandaria will be too. I got her through the first bunch on quests in Jade Forest and she's about 75% to 86.

She didn't do a single dungeon in Cata, and won't in Pandaria either. Let me tell you why. On the Guild Achievement side, I'm working towards 25,000 quests, so I want to do as many quests as possible. Also, I don't want her to get to 90 before she's questing in Kun Lai, and gets the Grummle Sack.

Oh, one other thing I actually did was do the cooking and fishing daily on Mageybrit and got her to Outland last night. Just holed up in Cenarion Refuge, no quests yet.

And, no Hearthstone last night. I'm so motivated to get Shammy to Draenor and have her start contributing to the Master Plan.

More tomorrow.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 12 - Outland, Outland, Outland!

Hi,

It's the 12th day of Blaugust. Let's see what happened last night and this morning.

Last night, after doing Garrison chores on Priesty and Beasty, I played Shammy quite a bit. I got her through a fair bit of Mount Hyjal, and to level 82. The rest of the evening, and this morning, was all spent in Outland.

I played Trappybrit in the evening. She ran a couple of Dungeons, did more Zangamarsh quests, and got to level 64. This morning, I took Voidbrit into Outland. She did Bogolash, Kataru and his minions, and then the Sporeggar, kill Klaq ones. Funny thing in the caves with Klaq. I suddenly noticed Void's health dropping. No debufs, no nothing, just dropping and dropping and eventually dying. WTF? Ran all the way back, and just before going out of the cave, it happened again. Anyone know what's going on? Anyway, she's holed up in Cenarion Refuge, and will do the Naga quests next.

Lockybrit also went to Outland and did Bogolash and the Kataru quests and then holing up in Cenarion Refuge.

Cenarion Refuge
So, Void got to 61, but Locky's still 60 right now.

I also played a little bit of Hearthstone last night, on the European side. I leveled Hunter to level 8 playing against the AI.

That's it, more Outland tonight, and maybe a bit more on Shammy, and a bit of Hearthstone.

Cheers.

Blaugsut Day 11 - Soloing Old Raids!

Hi,

It's the 11th day of Blaugust, Let's see what I got up to last night and this morning.

Last night, I did a few things in WoW, and didn't play any Hearthstone. There's no hurry with Hearthstone, while I'm really motivated by my Master Plan in WoW.

Priesty soloed a couple of old Raids, just before the weekly reset. She did Firelands 10N and Bastion of Twilight 10N. This netted just a bit more than 1K gold after vendoring everything. She's now up to 54K with the stuff she's been selling on the AH too.

I also played Elfybrit. I did a couple of dungeons on her, did some more quests in Zangamarsh, and now she's level 84. I also popped on Shammy and knocked out the first few quests of Mount Hyjal.

I didn't get to play all evening though, as me and the wife watched the season finale of Last Tango in Halifax.

This morning, after Follower missions, I spent time in Outland with Trappy and Hunting. I got Trappy part way through Zangamarsh and to level 61. I took Hunting there and fly around Hellfire Pen for a bit leveling up Mining, and then did the Kataru quest and got to level 61 too.

That's it for now. No pics today. Tonight and tomorrow, I'll level up some more characters.

Cheers.

Blaugust Day 10 - Reporting in, in Outland!

Hi,

It's the 10th day of Blaugust and here's the second weekly summary of the month.

Last week, I worked on leveling all my characters through Swamp of Sorrows and Blasted Lands, and getting them all to 60. Mission accomplished. They are all at least 60 now. Some of them have even ventured into Outland, reporting in to General Nazgrel in Outland. I don't do any of the Hellfire Penninsula quests, just stop along the way, on the way to Zangamarsh.

Trappy reporting in
The other big news of the week is that I got Shammybrit to 80 yesterday! Lots of Dungeons, and questing in Icecrown got me there. CRZ is not too bad in Northrend. I haven't really found any quests that are messed up because of it.

This morning, I quested in Outland on both Elfybrit, and Trappybrit. It was very peaceful and CRZ impact was minimal. I've found I don't mind Outland questing. I guess it was CRZ that put me off it so much. Elfy got to 62, and hasn't even done a dungeon yet. I need to play her in the evening and do tons of dungeons on her. I'll probably play these a bit more, and let Shammy accumulate some rested experience.

Priesty and Beasty have been doing their garrison stuff, and Priesty's been AHing tons of stuff. She's up to 50K now, and although not everything is selling, there's enough that is. She also bought lots of fish flesh for GRs, and leveled cooking to 700. Preisty also continued to do a bit of PvP, getting a couple of PvP 670 Honor pieces. Beasty is still getting the garrison set up. She's really low on GRs, and hasn't even got the barracks to level 3 yet, for 5 more followers. Beasty also went to Gorgrond and knocked out the final 3 bonus objectives, completing Gorgrond, and now has only Nagrand to go.

Of course, the Legion announcement was this week, and more info is coming out all the time, with Dev interviews and stuff. I hope we don't get it too soon though, so I have time to finish my Master Plan :)

In Hearthstone, I continue to do the Daily quest on Americas, and level up each of the basic classes to 10 on European. Yesterday was a classic. I had 'Win any 3 games' so I got on my Priest and played some casual. After losing a couple (no Nothshire Clerics either game grrr., I turned it round with a huge match against a Mage. I played it really well. He had the Epics that if they both die, summons an 11//11. I saved my 'Destroy a minion with 5 or more attack for it. In the end, we were both top decking, but I was getting better cards out, and when he had no more cards to draw, and I finished off the rest of his board, he conceded. I won another couple to complete the daily.
