A Dwarven Wedding

Jan1

Yesterday I picked up on my Twilight Highland quests and finished off the dwarven version of “something old something new” which was “Something Stolen, Something Brewed, Something Stewed, Something Bold”. In the cut scene you get to see the key and “Beak”

and then you actually get to see your character escorting the bride down!

the rest is a little surprise so I won’t mention that.

After these I ran Stonecore twice with Maice, and finally hit 85!  I probably wouldn’t have done it unless I was motivated by the tailoring patterns honestly.  But now I’m glad I’m here. I learned the powerful versions of the spellthreads now that I’m the right level, went to the trainer and learned Time Warp, and now I can make the mana cakes for people.

Oddly enough now Obsidium Ore is back to under Elementium Ores prices.  I mean, it should be that way and I’ve gotten much more of it, so they must have finally boosted the spawn rates.  That or people stopped farming it after they maxed out whatever they were trying for.

Oh no you didn’t

I picked up on my quests out in Twilight Highlands again, and this cut scene was pretty cool seeing that the monsters detects you are watching, calls you out directly, then slams you out of the scrying orb you are using, and whispers what a punk you are.

once again popping out mirrors to kill this guy

and using a dwarven bazooka thing to kill some flying mounted enemies.

and this, this stuff.  It’s just awesome, really.

Later on you compose a song for Fanny and of course I picked all “bawdy” and “silly”

I don’t like it when I can’t get in TB

Last night I ran a regular Stonecore with Pauldie’s warlock, since I still need regular JP for some upgrades. It’s been slow going since I’ve been trying to get other things done too.

I did the warding quest in Deepholm as well, and tried to queue for Tol Barad but didn’t get in. I rarely get in, it’s annoying.

I queued up for a random and get AV, and we get CRUSHED all the way back to our starting point and lose like 540 to 20. UGH.

One for me, one for *hic*

Today I bought the stronger spellthread patterns and then realized I needed 85 to get it.  Bleh.  I went off to Twilight Highlands to quest.  I liked this flying one, where you kill the Twilight guys on the rocks.  I first tried to kill them myself on the stones in the air, but after being knocked off twice I went back to get the gryphon.

I am also making solid use of my mirrors and other mage tricks just not to die, a lot.

123elleria

And aww.  I rescure the baby gryphon which you can also get as a plush toy and in game pet. I want it!

124elleria

I quest until I get to around 55% then take a break.  I did love “Fight like a Wildhammer” quest where I took a chug of ale every time I picked up a keg, though, and ran around fighting drunk XD

JEALOUS

Today I busted ass with a vengeance to get to the point I could learn the patterns Dontpuntme needs.  I finished up the entire Deepholm chain, and what an awesome bunch of stuff that was.

111elleria

A lot of it revolves around solving conflicts with the stone guys that live down here.  Oh and their wicked fat brood mother.

112elleria

Apparently this one doesn’t need looks nor a personality, as Stout pointed out accurately.

This little guy was just adorable.

113elleria

and it didn’t come out well in the shot, but at one point you collect bat wings or parts for him, and once you are done he’s seen running around carrying like 10 of them, like 10x the size of himself.  It was quite amusing. Speaking of, lol!

114elleria

I had a fun little romp with this guy, chasing him all over a cave.  It’s amazing that a quest involves almost as much awareness as some raids, like this one did, chasing after him, avoiding explosions, etc.

115elleria

and escorting these guys around was cute.

116elleria

and before I keep saying all this cute stuff, I’d like to point out that lacking anyone to heal when in spirit form on my priest, I spit on horde.  Jan told me that was “classy”.  Well, they deserve it!

Anyway then it went on to an awesome chase on a dragon after another dragon, and fortunately I am ranged so I kept spamming Ice Lance most of the trip.

117elleria

And this guy, like the lady, had a voice.  Why, hello there, what a fantastic name.

118elleria

the battle in the temple was flat out EPIC and I managed to snap off a few shots.

119elleria

After I beat that lady down, again (who btw had a great quote of “I’m not that easy, hon”) I am phased in with Stout and I can see his awesome mount,  jealous.  I R jealous.

120elleria

I rush through the Twilight Highland beginning quests and I figured Stout would like this shot.

I get to the point I can buy the patterns, and I am thankful Dreamcloth is BoP.  It’s about time tailors were given some control over their patterns and production so that a single tailor can’t ruin sales for most of the server.
