Auction House Dance Party.

This is good for a giggle every time. Chat explodes with people moaning about their need for using the Auction House. Either they don't know, or don't remember that there is a second AH in the Dwarven District.

This year I think some Horde snuck into town to try and take out the King while we were dancing in the AH. There were also a few PvP Battles in the AH but I ignored them, kept dancing and blowing my bubble wand.


June 2019: a Catch-Up Post

June Milestones


Sazzil has moved to Undercity to do the cooking and fishing dailies. And is absolutely hating the maze of that place.

Though, she can go to sleep in a coffin, while wearing a Darkmoon Faire Fish Head and that's not creepy!
Lots of room for a wee goblin
While mining Ghost Iron Ore, Nor finished the Jade Forest Storylines
Seely feeding the starving lost dog.

NOT Complete: Torch Juggler

I have no doubt I'd be able to complete this achievement in Dalaran easily as it's a matter of keybinding and simple macro coding. However, I can't get past the introductory/learning torch juggling quest of Torch Catching which requires you to light and catch the torch 4 times in a row. The most I've been able to achieve so far is 2.

Nor fed up with torch-NOT-catching and taking some R&R fishing back in the homeland.

To Do once Flying Unlocked:
Draenor
Broken Isles

To Collect:
Brazier of Dancing Flames 350 Blossoms

May 2019: A Catch-Up Post

Milestones for May 2019

Sal, levelling leatherworking & encountering Bad Bears
Uh Oh
Bears are Bad
Soo, Contemplation @ unmarked graves for Vier
Remembering Vier


Soo, level 60, Expert Riding, Dragon Flying in Northrend
w00t!
 

Soo gets to fly a dragon in Northrend!
Sal, level 110 while farming leather

Sal on Timeless Isle w/ Turtle Hat & Doing the Jumping Columns Quiz!
Silly Turtleshell Hat
aw! I remember coming here with Vier, my first time on Timeless Isle!
  [Note: 'twas bittersweet being on Timeless Isle without Vier :( I did laugh though when Sal received the turtle shell hat. Early in my WoW days, the GM of our old guild was bugging Vier about how ridiculous she looked with her turtle shell hat. I had to agree, they are some butt-ugly hats! I also remember being in awe of Vier tightrope walking as amount with me on her back to earn Sushel the "Extreme Treasure Hunter" achievement. You can read about it here.]

Pretty Pandaria

Nor, Master of the Ways

Nor, Legend Of The Brewfathers.

Nor, Temple of the Jade Serpent

Nor, Spring, Autumn & Winter Blossom Trees on my farm

Nor, with a Turtle Hat [giggle]

Nor, turned somehow? into a Black & White Panda

Nor, as a Panda riding a kite
Note to self: Obtain a Kite Mount!

Sushel, crafted a Sky Golem [The whole reason we started this farming adventure in Halfhill was to create this mount so Seely could ride it around while Herbing. You stay mounted on this instead of being dismounted to collect an herb and having to re-mount again every time.
Sky Golem Mount
We do have a nice little routine set up now. Sal & Seely plant crops to harvest Motes of Harmony, Sushel & Nor plant crops to harvest Black & White Trillium Ore and Ghost Iron Ore.
Nor smelts the ore, sends the Trillium Bars and Half the Ghost Iron Bars to Seely, and the rest of the Ghost Iron Bars to Sushel.
Seely uses the Trillium Bars and Spirits of Harmony to Transmute Living Steel.
Sushel uses the Ghost Iron Bars to craft Jard's something-something. And then uses those and the Living Steel to craft the mount, and now two pets, the Warbot and the Rascal Bot.
Goofiest mount to fly. Swerves, bobs, and twists all over the place.
Thus we have been in Panda Land forever.

---------------------------------------------
The Bane of my existence. The PvP portion of the Children's Week achievements and the hardest part of completing What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been. Straight from the Guide;
  Players shooting for What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been will be wanting to check this holiday off their list.  Children's Week brings the meta's most hated achievement:  School of Hard Knocks. Wowhead has a short and sweet guide to help you get this done with the minimum of fuss.
This guide assumes you have little or no PvP experience, and we've got tips for avoiding PvP if you're a die-hard PvE-focused player who just wants to get this done and never enter a Battleground again. 
School of Hard Knocks
This is one of the trickier Children's Week achievements. For this achievement, you must complete each of these four objectives in PVP battlegrounds while your orphan is out:
  • Capture the flag in Eye of the Storm
  • Assault a tower in Alterac Valley
  • Assault a flag in Arathi Basin
  • Return a fallen flag in Warsong Gulch
We have a guide just on how to complete School of Hard Knocks as well.
---------------------------------------------
Ana graciously volunteered to take me into the four battlegrounds.
Lots of Mount Displays while waiting for battleground call ups.
Talbuks

I only managed to complete 2 of the 4 PvP battlegrounds before I became completely overwhelmed, lost my mind and quit. [for this year at least]
Arathi Basin
Eye of the Storm
Night Flying never gets old

For Ana: The story of why I have a Hunter I can barely play.


"I have to admit, although I love the pets and agility of the hunter class, I'm slow to get into their rapid rotation style of play.  I have trouble setting the Hunter's Mark before doing anything else and by then, it's usually game over!  I admire Vier's agility and elegance with her bow, Sushi just seems a tad heavy and clumsy [sorry Sushe] with her big stomper boots and loud gun."
