Quick WoW updates

Only for the interested, so bail out now while you still can.

I started grinding through the Ogri'la and Skettis daily quests some time ago (the non-suicidal ones at least, I can never get the hang of the bombing runs at the Forge Camps at Blade's Edge Mountains), netting about 44g every night and then once I hit Honored with Ogri'la another 11g 99s for the Banish the Demons daily quest. I also hit Revered with the Sha'tari Skyguard in pretty short order, and it's kind of cute to hear the NPCs mention me by name as I pass them by.

I was about 700g away from my goal of the 5200g I needed for the epic flying skill and mount, when a Wrath Hound in Blade's Edge dropped a set of Depleted Cloth Bracers - an epic item, which, once I charged it up with 50 Apexis Shards became Crystalweave Bracers, which I sold for 808g at the Auction House. And thus, epic flying mount, and still about 200g left over.

Since then, I nearly bankrupted myself by buying enough Primals to get my Guild Master, who's a Leather Worker, some of the materials for him to make me a Thick Netherscale Breastplate (he was good enough to make up the difference with spares he had). However, last night, I was once again grinding in Blade's Edge when another random mob drops The Hammer of Destiny - which is valued at around 1000g. I have it up on auction at 949g buyout at the moment and hoping it'll undercut the other Hammer going for 1000g.

Tonight, I watch Transformers. This weekend, Karazhan again, if there's enough places in the raid group. There's a pair of bracers from Attumen the Huntsman and these boots from the Chess Event that I've been eyeing, and the Curator still has my gloves...

Sigh.

I just got my first port to Shat last night. Still only level 58 and dreaming about just a simple epic mount, not even flying. . .

Oh, you'll get there. I didn't even get my epic riding mount till I was in my mid-60s.

Congrats! I haven't been as regular as I probably should have been on the daily quests -- mostly because I was still mopping up a bunch I hadn't done in Netherstorm just to get them off my lists and make the cash, so I'm still at Honored with both Ogri'la and the Skyguard. Luckiest drop I've had so far up there was a nightseye pattern which sold for about 300g. I just creeped over the halfway point -- hopefully I'll get the rest of the way there soon.

Of course, as soon as I've got enough for the flying mount, it's time to start grinding rep with Netherwing. Every tiny gnome needs a dragon to fly around on, right?
