I finally finished my World of Warcraft mittens, and I am so pleased with how they turned out. I knit them with wool & alpaca for extra warmth, and added a liner inside. It’s my first complicated piece of stranded work, and I was so enthralled with crafting them it inspired me to create more of my own designs.
Progress on the deed is coming along VERY well. Club Code decided to run their very first Black Friday sale, so I picked up a year subscription for my Vynora priest along with some silver to make sure the deed has lots of upkeep (over a years worth on each of the deeds I currently own). Moumix has been playing again and has helped out around the deed, and that has inspired me to try to ‘complete’ it as much as I can.
Yesterday I reached 36 ropemaking, and I created one of two rope bridges that will adorn the village. I love the way they look. I need 44 ropemaking for the second bridge, and I have a few odds and ends to complete (a fence around the farm, the front farm will eventually be transformed into a shipyard as well as a chapel of some sort, and the house needs more furniture) but it is coming along nicely.
I’ve also started grinding hot food cooking – I want to unlock all of the recipes that look so delicious out there. I want to build a distillery in the mine, and create cider and wine, too. There’s just always so much to do in game, I absolutely love it.
I know I haven’t posted a whole lot about Shadowlands yet, but I’ve been leveling, crafting, and selling things in the auction house.
With the nerf to multiboxing I decided to shut down most of my accounts, and then further nerfs in-game (non multiboxing specific) solidified that decision for me. I went from 8 accounts to 1, and I decided there was really no need for me to even have more than 1. This expansion I would like to take a little step back from making gold – and focus on some other achievements that I’ve always wanted to obtain. I’ll still be making gold (it’s sort of built in at this stage) but if I was casual before I consider myself to be VERY casual now. I’m sure it will change with time, I’ve been going through a pretty bad round of depression and I haven’t really found motivation to do too much in or out of game these days.
Knitpicks recently held a Black Friday sale that they continue to host once a year – and while last year I did not participate in any purchases, this year I could not help myself. I walked away with three skeins of the fur yarn pictured above (I am hoping to knit a teddy bear with it), along with some tweed to knit a sweater, some alpaca blend to knit a cardigan, and some reclaimed wool that I hope turns into another sweater. I realized that I have a LOT of fingering weight yarn, but not much heavier, so I tried to focus on worsted weight for a few quick knits and instant gratification projects. Sometimes it’s just nice to see something completed.
Grab yourself a potion of treasure finding and head to Firelands – make sure not to kill any bosses, and you can probably get close to 10 runs per hour. The vendor items along with the craft materials sold for approximately 7-10k, which isn’t too bad gold per hour when you’re by yourself.
Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
