One of my wife’s 2008 New Year’s resolutions is to reach level 70. Considering she has only been playing for a couple of months, that seems like a pretty reasonable goal to me.
A few weeks ago, she achieved a big milestone and reached level 40. For some reason, I completely forgot to blog about it!
Anyway, here she is, exploring Ironforge at Mechanostrider-speed!
Full power to the engines, Mr. Sulu!
Patch 2.3.3 has gone live this morning. There’s not any hunter specific updates, so I’ll include the full patch notes below. Don’t worry, they’re brief!
On a personal note, I’d like to relate how glad I am that they fixed Felspine the Greater. After hunting him down last night, I discovered he was engage bugged. Apparently this was a known issue that should now be fixed.
Woot!
Readers of the site (rather than the RSS feed) will notice that I’ve removed the two Hynjoku signature images from below the banner image at the top of the page. Although Antiarc’s signature generator makes really great looking images, the service has become unreliable. Coupled with (or perhaps, because of) the recent WoW Armory problems, the whole concept has just become unacceptable.
Patch 2.3.2 is now available for World of Warcraft. Here’s the hunter specific updates available in the new patch. You can find the latest patch notes on the World of Warcraft site.
Hunters
I wouldn’t have realized how important the pet leveling speed increase was if I had not been leveling a new hunter. With the additional XP from quests since the 2.3.0 patch, my ghost stalker just keeps falling further and further behind.
This was totally out of character, and I’m probably going to be kicking myself.
Today, I dropped 1200 gold at the Auction House.
1200 gold.
I’ve been spending a lot of time PVPing lately and had hoped to upgrade a lot of gear with honor and marks. It dawned on my that the [Gladiator's Heavy Crossbow] is REALLY pricey! In fact, I could use the honor necessary for that item to purchase two or three other items.
So, this morning, I dropped 1200 gold on a [Gyro-Balanced Khorium Destroyer], [Glinting Noble Topaz], and [Khorium Scope].
The very first thing I can tell you is that this gun looks absolutely wicked. I haven’t done the math on the damage difference yet due to my Gun skill being so low (as evidenced in the screenshot), but I’ll report that shortly. I chose this over the [Don Santos' Famous Hunting Rifle], because of the huge STA boost and yellow gem socket. Since I’m PVPing so much, the STA boost is a welcome addition.
Anyway, I need to sit back and finish my I-just-spent-1200-gold panic attack. Adios!
