You know the best part about being level 70?

The daily quests. Srsly.

I spent hours today running all over Outland and the Sunwell Plateau just for daily quests. I don’t have my MoneyFU addon installed anymore, but I kept mental track of my earnings and discovered that doing just a few daily quests yielded seventy (70) gold, right in my Druid’s hot little pocket.That money’s going to Isys, who doesn’t have her epic mount yet. =( Yeah, I know. I’m a little late on getting her the white swiftsabre that she’s been eyeballin’. Chalk that up to re-specing and re-gearing at level 45. -_-’

I do appreciate the rare moments of cross-faction role-playing on Sunwell Plateau — even if it’s only brief. Today’s CFRP came courtesy of a Blood Elf Rogue who helped me take on a giant, flapping demon in Sun’s Reach. I had taken on one too many and before I could run away in pathetic cowardice, she appeared behind my attacker and killed him. After I /thanked her, she gave me a /pat.

Oh yeah — I’m in kitty Form, I thought. Then I /purred at her and /cuddled her like a good cat. Had I thought about it, I would have given her a /lick too, but A] that would be creepy and B] I don’t know too many cats that lick for affection. =/ We said our good-byes and I went on my merry way.

Tomorrow begins another day of daily questing in hopes of getting Isys her new mount. Running around Hellfire Penninsula and Zangarmarsh with a rare mount just doesn’t cut it. >_<

Yes, I’ve been AFK from the Warblog for a while. I apologize — I didn’t play much WoW for an entire month(!) but I had a marathon last week. It took us all weekend but…Mike and I FINALLY made it to level 70 with our mains!

Yes, it has taken me a long time to get to level 70. I’ve been playing the game for three whole years now and I don’t have a single character to 70 until now. Why has it taken us so damn long? Well, a number of reasons: First, my husband and I are casual players. We play when we have time and inspiration. Sometimes when we have the time, we don’t have the inspiration. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat down at my gaming PC, turned on WoW and then immediately exited out. I just did not want to deal with the overwhelming amount of WORK that lay ahead of me. I hate that. I hate when a game becomes work. So I take occasional breaks that happen to be a month long.

And when I come back, I appreciate it so much more.

The other reason why it’s taken us so damn long to get to 70 is because we started the wrong characters. Had Mike and I been a Rogue and Hunter respectively, we would have leveled to 60 years ago and level 70 a month or so after we got the BC. But we didn’t — we chose a Priest and a Druid. When I played as a Hunter for the first time, I knew that it was the class for me. This is why I have so many Hunters in the first place.

But no violin-playing. We’re level 70! Yay!

And you won’t believe this. My dad (who’s now a retired OT in a major raiding guild) invited us to join his guild. They’re mostly adults who actually screen their members, meaning they don’t put up with whiny teenagers who OMG DIDNTGET TEH EPIX WTF. They also don’t have any requirements for joining — no gear requirements, no spec requirements, hell, they’re not even picky about Hunter pets. So I promised him that if I made it to level 70 and he was still playing, I’d join his raiding guild.

Well, he still plays and I keep my promises.
