Last Meal

Today I found a link to this page:

There were a LOT of “two double cheeseburgers fries and a coke”. Some of them made me laugh. “a pot of coffee”, “bag of assorted Jolly Ranchers”, “one jar of dill pickles”, and “apple”. He could have anything he wanted, and his request was “apple”.

This made me think. If I were being asked for my last meal, what would I request.

1) Burito: grilled chicken, rice, beans, salsa, cheese, green olives, and sour cream.

2) 1/2 lb cheeseburger with romaine lettuce, sharp cheddar, tomato, pickle, mayo, and mustard.

3) Caesar salad with grilled chicken.

4) Pecan pie

5) 4 liters of Diet Coke with crushed ice.

6) A pack of Wrigley’s Doublemint gum.

Then again, I don’t ever see myself doing anything that would deserve a last meal…

SSSAAAAAWWWWEEEEETTTTTT!!!!!

I am NEVER going back to Winterspring again!

Nuff Said.

Fastest way to exalted with Wintersaber and Timbermaw

I started yesterday morning with a mission. I WILL get my Wintersaber mount. I spent all day yesterday working on it. I was 5 bars from exalted at 3am when I was falling asleep at my keyboard and crashed.

I hit Exalted with Timbermaw at about 1am.

TIP: If you have not done much with either and are looking to do it, it has gotten much easier than it used to be. When you come thru the tunnel from felwood and take your first step into Winterspring, turn right. Hiding next to the tunnel opening is a furblog that wants you to do a quest. Do the quests. You will get a repeatable quest for turning in beads. These beads drop from the furblogs that you have to kill as one of the quests for the Wintersaber trainers.

When you approach the Wintersaber trainer for the first time he will ask you for some meat. Repeat that quest until you go up in rep and he offers you a second quest. The second quest will be the one to kill the Furblogs. Do those two. Save the beads from the furblogs, you turn them in to that chick by the tunnel in stacks of 5.

Those first two quests offer 250 rep each for wintersaber, the stack of 5 beads rewards 300 rep for Timbermaw.

For a while, you will be getting rep for killing the furblogs. DO NOT TURN IN THE BEADS YET! Save the beads. When you hit revered you stop getting rep for killing, and only get rep from bead turn ins. You need 350 beads to get thru revered. So, if you have more than 350 you can start turning them in to help you hit revered.

Keep running the first two wintersaber quests and collecting beads. After a while he will start offering a third quest for killing some giants. The giants are REALLY far away. You can do them if you want to disrupt the boredom, but it is not quite as efficient as only doing the first two quests. The giants are easily soloable at 80.

Hope this helps.

Booooooooring

So I have gone there once or twice before, but I decided to start a serious effort to get my Wintersaber. I spent about 7 hours yesterday and got almost to revered. I have gotten to the point where I know almost every bump and tree in Winterspring. Last week I started on Timbermaw rep. I ground on the felwood mobs until I got to revered, then they stop giving rep, so I stopped grinding. The furblog guys for the Wintersaber quest drop a rep thing for Timbermaw, so I am working on both at the same time.

I just hit exalted with Argent Crusade and Sons of Hodir, which was my 20th exalted faction. After I finish Wintersaber and Timbermaw I’m going to go finish off the last 20% that I need for consortium, and the last 10% I need for Ironforge to get exalted. If I put a really concentrated effort, by this time next week I could have all these to exalted.

That would be cool.

I need some overalls I’m farming so much.

So, now that I’m 80, and have almost all the heroic gear I want, I’m stuck waiting for raids. We are running Slarth, and Naxx. We have no trouble with Slarth (no drakes), but have not managed to get it with one drake yet. In Naxx we have Spider wing on farm, and Patchwerk, and the first boss in Military wing are also being farmed. Grob is being a block, and we have only downed him once, by losing a healer and picking up a DPS. We also got 4 horsemen on the third try last week, and have it figured out now.

So, since raids are only two nights a week, I have taken to farming.

I have been farming Timbermaw, that is going very well. I started farming Thorium Brotherhood rep. Lots of Dark Iron turn ins, and Core leather and the other things from MC sometimes show up in the AH. I have spent a LOT of time farming in BRD for Dark Iron and Runecloth. The Runecloth I was turning in for Gnomer rep, until I hit exalted, now I’m working on IF rep, it is the only major city rep I’m missing.

I have also started a renewed effort to level up alts. my DK hit 72, my pally hit 37, and I started a new Shammy and got it into the low teens. Being able to afford high level enchants for my alts is a HUGE time saver. I picked up the Heirloom (BOA) shoulders for m lock and pally.

By and far my biggest income has been from farming the relics for the Sons of Hodir rep. They are selling for Crazy gold right now.
