Even though I’ve been back to game for a while now, I have not made the rounds of all of the delves available. Plus I know a new one just opened in the new zone (which I have also not done, though I did complete everything else I could possibly do within that zone). Anyone else dragging their heels when it comes to these special instances?
One of my favourite things to do, both in game and out, is organization. It comes as no surprise that I’ve spent a lot of time organizing the login screen of my World of Warcraft account (but it seems to never stay that way, as Blizzard shuffles my characters around quite frequently). I have 4 ‘main’ characters on both alliance and horde (those are the VIP campsites pictured). This covers all of the professions minus gathering (which I hate). Then I have 4 of each class in their own respective campsite, too. Not all of the groups are full at this moment, but ideally, eventually, they might be. Right now I have 4 druids, and 4 hunters outside of the VIPs. Everything else is either 1/2/3 depending on how much I play the class (warlocks and rogues are near the bottom of that list). They’re not all at 80 (yet) but ideally I’ll get them there before Midnight (the expansion, not the time of day).
How do you like to organize your games? Maybe you’re one of the lucky few who don’t have an entire army of alts at your side to try to sort (keep in mind, this is one account out of … many, that I have). Let me know in comments, and as always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.
I’ve been trying to be more supportive of twitch streamers lately, lurking when I can’t talk, engaging when I’ve got the time and spare spoons. Right now there’s a twitch giveaway going on for another battle pet – the Shadefur Brewthief. You only need to watch for 4 hours, and you can always mute the tab (don’t mute the actual stream or it won’t count) if you’re not actually interested. I managed to get mine last night, and add it to the collection.
Speaking of collections, I’m sitting at 499 mounts and I’m VERY close to finally obtaining my 500th one. That is a challenge that has been a long time in the works. I’m hoping to focus a bit more on my battle pet ranking, and I’ve also been trying to collect as many recipes as I can. It’s going pretty well so far (thanks to the Data for Azeroth website).
Other then that, I’ve ran through the latest updates for season 3, and I’ll be posting some thoughts about that tomorrow. The first day was pretty buggy for me, personally. I had to log in and out a lot for quest updates and to make certain objectives work. I’m hoping these things get sorted before too long though.
As always, happy gaming no matter where you find yourself.
Am I excited about the start of Season 3 coming to world of Warcraft? Well, yes and no. I have been away from the game for most of season 1, and a majority of season 2. I’m excited to be around for season 3. It’s nice to be playing again, and I’m hoping to get some 10+ mythics under my belt. I’m not excited about the dungeon choices, and I think they’ll be rough.
I did spend a bunch of time this morning fixing up my banks. I unlocked all of the regular slots, unlocked the reagent tab, and unlocked void storage on any character under 80. This should allow me to swap over seamlessly to the new system. If you’re level 80, you’ll already get these new bank slots, but I have a lot of auction house characters who do nothing except AH stuff. I wanted them to be able to take advantage of the new system. I also removed anything that was in those banks because last time Blizzard messed with the guild bank system I ended up losing millions of gold worth of items and they never returned them to me. Not fun.
Aside from doing a few more quests to get my ilevel as high as I could (within reason) before the season starts, and fixing up the bank stuff, I haven’t bothered with much else. I did try to get a few achievements that I knew was going away (rk11 delves, etc) but I didn’t go out of my way to complete EVERYTHING. I might put forth more effort into that going forward into season 3, but we’ll see. Anyone else out there doing anything fancy to get ready? Let me know in comments – as always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.
Sales have been picking up a bit this week (or they’re just better because I’ve been consistently listing them for once) with a fair number of items selling at high prices (58 items sold, and just under 5 million gold earned overall). It’s all of my usual items which includes older transmog, recipes, and pets. I don’t deal in current tier, or consumables (thinks that stack, like potions, ore, or enchants).
I also learned that the allied race quests have changed a while back – and I finally. FINALLY unlocked Kul Tiran. I don’t play alliance very often these days, and that single allied race has sat locked for ages because (way back when, apparently) you had to do the main BFA story line as alliance for it and I just don’t really enjoy questing that much. It was nice to finally get it done but I probably should have paid attention and realized it changed ages ago. It doesn’t help that a lot of the AI answers for … everything these days, is just plain wrong. Look deeper into the questions you’re asking (google AI told me Earthen were an alliance only face – NOT true at all).
Anyway, it’s another week of sales – slow and steady. What has everyone else been up to? How are your gold making adventures going? Let me know in comments.
