3 Hours And 50 Minutes
My priest finally reached level 80. It’s true that I took a lot of time doing it but if you just count the /played time, I did an amazing job maximizing the XP per hour. Questing while using the Dungeon Finder helped a lot. I burned that rested XP like crazy. It only took me 3 hours and 50 minutes to level from 79 to 80. All that joy was destroyed a few minutes by Blizzard.
By the end of my journey and after running almost every single dungeon, all my equipment was blue. I thought it was good enough for me to start running heroics but all I could hear was Arthas loud dark voice whispering:
“You are not Geared.” Or so I thought.
In reality it was my guildie making fun of me, imitating Arthas voice in our Ventrilo server. Not cool man, not cool. Blizzard broke my heart. After finally hitting 80 I wanted to start grinding those heroics for my damn gear. So what can a noob do? I rushed and queue to AV in shame, wanting to indulge in the guilty pleasures of mindless zerging.
Can You Give Me A Ride?
There I was in AV with literally everyone targeting and rushing me. Somehow everybody knew I was just out of the oven. A ripe, tender meal just begging to be devoured. After adapting my play style to fit my current gear I found a mage. This mage was my partner for the whole AV. It was awesome. He was batman; I was Robin. I know it sounds gay but it really wasn’t like that.
To this day, that AV has been the most fun ever.
Zombies Ate My Gear
Lucky for me, my friend’s account was hacked. Let me explain, his account was unbanned and he could play. He got all his gear back and the “Blizz Care Package”, over 2k gold and 60 badges.
As a bonus, the good “gold farmer hacker” (it’s still undetermined if he was indeed Chinese) left an ungodly amount of mats in his bank account. My guildie whispered me telling me about the FrostSavage set. He checked my gear and proceeded to craft me some of the pieces. I was ready, heroic ready; I even completed some achievements. Here are a couple of images of my travels.
My honor is capped, I have over 200 badges and 500 shards. I have enough WG badges to buy the trinket and maybe something else but I am waiting. I haven’t bought any gear yet because I am waiting for Blizzard to release more information about the new Season. For now I am a soft, bread like shadow scrub that keeps dying to “leet” players with far better gear and skills than me. Let’s see what changes when 3.3.2 gets released.
Before I forget, I bought the Razer Naga and it’s amazing. I will try to compare it to my other mouses and gamepads on a future blog.
