I'm still here

I'm currently learning how to play the Hunter Beast Master spec after all these years.

I just got my first Spirit Beast pet thanks to Babybug w00t!

I've also Joined Ravenclaw's Discord from his YouTube channel.

This week is Darkmoon Faire so I'm busy taking everyone there.

A Goal: Darkmoon Faire

Darkmoon Faire Goals Wowhead Guide

Tharynn Bouden
Innkeeper Farley Goldshire
Reputation buffs:  Darkmoon Top Hat [1 hour: consumed on use] and  WHEE! [5 minutes: free] Note: Do not stack up Hats, they disappear when the Faire closes each month.  Not only do they only work while the Faire is active, they DISAPPEAR.

Goals: Complete all the Darkmoon Prize Ticket Reward Tasks.

For Noritam and all alts:

• Fancy Darkmoon Feast needs 10 Darkmoon Daggermaw fish.
• Silas' Secret Stash
• Get everyone doing the Archeology 
• Zero out "Test Your Strength" and going forward, complete the quest each month while the Faire is on.

 PETS: 

• I have the Crow, Cub, Glowfly, Hatchling, Turtle, Tonk, Zeppelin, Ghostshell Crab, and Sea Pony. 
• I want Eye [pet battle], Hogs  [Whack a Mole, the only game I play that I still haven't won. Keep trying.], Jubling [need to study and figure out the requirements - confusing], Moon Moon, Syd the Squid [Pet Battle] and the Darkmoon Rabbit.
• I feel meh! about - Balloon, Monkey, Race MiniZep Controller
• Vanity and Transmog Armor, only after I have everything else I want.

MOUNTS

1. First Item to spend my tickets on Swift Forest Strider. 180  I have wanted this mount since I won the Nobelgarden Strider and was SO disappointed that it wasn't PINK! Other Mounts

Darkwater Skate for 500 Darkmoon Daggermaw fish. 

1. Second items to spend my tickets on are the Heirloom Gear for each armour specialty and the upgrade items to go with.  I need some help figuring out which ones to get and which are the correct upgrade items. 

Heirloom Prizes: Daenrand Dawncrest sells PvE heirlooms, which can fit into your Heirloom Collections tab and count towards  Chauffeured Chopper. [collect 35 Heirlooms, I have less than 15 right now, so if each alt collects their own type I should get the chopper] 6.1 Heirloom Collection System Note: Clinking Present for the chopper comes in the mail, not in your bag.

First a plate set for a Protection Paladin.  I think I'll next roll a Gnome Engineer Pally to be a Tank.  hmmm, can gnome's be paladins? I'll have to check.

I still need to roll a Wolverine to get the raven pet. I digress.

When I get extra tickets, I'll go for the Noblewoman's Skirt and Finery sold by Chester and other cosmetic items. Crap!  I'll have to get the Sparkle Pony toy for Jenn. [Sparklepony XL toy = 150 tickets
Boomie Sparks sells the  Sparklepony XL toy in addition to fireworks. Will create fireworks when you jump on your mount over a 15 second period.]

Barum and Baruma <Replica Armor Prizes> cost 520 tickets per set.  See here for what they look like.

OK, my head is spinning.  There are tonnes more new stuff and old stuff to read but this is enough for a start.

😻 Remembering Jenn: Jenn was working on the Heirloom Gear list for me when she died. Thank Goodness she never got the Whistle! 

One thing Jenn loved more than anything was doing annoying things. It was all fun and games when she kicked a soccer ball to you, splatted you with a pumpkin to turn you orange or a turnip to turn you pink, but that goddamn fucking train used to make me crazy. 

Whenever I was taking too long reading a quest description or sorting my bags or bank and she got bored, she'd throw the train down.  Which made everything take longer because I'd have to try and remember which item made the sound stop, find it, use it and then go back to sorting or reading.

Once the toy box came into being though it was better for me.  She'd run through the "change your look" toys and then the "change your size" toys. Then if I was still taking too long she'd go through the throwing toys, starting with the ones that changed MY appearance.

One of the worst things I saw her do was throw out a Bling-a-Tron INSIDE a tent. So people would know it was out, but couldn't find it. 

2015 - Happy New Year

Yup, I'm still here!

Shortly after WoD dropped I lost function in my mousing arm.  I think it was a combination of questing through Panda Land on foot, then more non-flying questing in Draenor, in addition to an arthritis flare and a tendonitis flare ... and one day I woke up and my right arm ceased to work.

Even a couple days of rest and reading didn't "cure" it.  So, OK, let's rest it for a few weeks!  Then Red Bear was coming to visit so I didn't dare mess it up again.  [Might interfere with my IRL crafting and art work]

Red Bear went home a few days ago, I've had my two-day sleep, and today I'm reading up on Love is in the Air world event.

Hopefully I'll get back into WoW in the next day or two, get my pink Tallstrider mount and pet and then get back to questing.

Can't remember where Nor was left.  Level 92?  Maybe 94?  We'll see.

Vier found me an Achievement Buddy to play with!  So there's that to look forward to.  Plus, time to get serious about leveling my pets.

My arm is sore from this little bit of typing so, that's all for today.

Talk or See ya soon.

Nor

Early Northrend - Dungeon Runs - Profession Quandary - Killing Horde Leaders!

So, questing in Northrend starts off great!

Waiting for the Turtle Boat beside Agloolik [sounds like Igloolik!]

Riding the Turtle Boat!  

Riding the boat for a quest, for real, not just for fun while we're up here touring and looking for Elders!

woo hoo!

Back to Stormwind to work on Cooking and Mining. I am trying to get my mining up to a level so I don't have to ignore ore veins as I'm questing because my mining level isn't high enough.  So that means back to Outland for Fel Iron.

Take a boat to Stormwind

Cooking over 400 - getting there!

Though part of me says ignore my professions while I'm questing.  'cept, what do I do with the tonnes of ore in my bank now?  I hate to vendor them and have to re-aquire them.  But they're taking up so much bag and bank space.  But my levels are too low to make stuff with them without running around all over Azeroth gathering pearls and citrine.

Looking for Fel Iron - Smelting Fel Iron

 What's a Space Goat to do?

Start a bank alt?  Who doesn't have any bags, and distracts you ...

A quiet little park, nestled in a corner of Stormwind

Soozuu at a little park she found in Stormwind.

Nyx catchin' some squirrels!

Noritam at level 72 with her Guild Tabard on.

Although, even Vier can cause a distraction from questing to 90, from time to time!

Showing off new gear and title!

Stupid.  Stoopid Weatherguard Keep Quest. Of course on a day when Vier's around to help me quest by killing stuff, I get a quest that she can't help me with!

stoopid quest

Take a bird,... learn to fly it,... pick up stranded villagers ... and deliver them to safety.  While Vier gets bored.  argh!

Takes forever and forever to pick up a villager then all of the sudden ... I got one!  

Crap! Now what do I do?

[see chat log]

Nor: "Shit!  Where do I take him?"

Vier [slightly startled]: "um ... to the keep I think?"

Helpless Villager: "Thanks!  You saved my life.  You're my guardian angel ..."

Nor:  "ya, ya, ... whatevs ... where do I take you and how many more of you guys do I have to save?"

I hate this quest!

Questing in Dragonblight with the Night Elves.

Level 73!

Back on the Turtle Boat.

Distraction:  Vier is doing a group quest in the middle of the night to get a Battle Bear Mount, do I want to go along?

We're gonna kill 4 leaders of the Horde.

Payback for Christmas Eve!  ... ... Damn right I wanna go along!

Can they see us?  um ... well, ya!  Why aren't they doing anything?  They can't 'til we start something!

Oh so many things to learn!

As Penny would say ... "Holy Crap onna Cracker!"

Needless to say, I didn't have a clue what was going on, and I'm not sure I helped as much as I hindered but ... only one more Horde Leader to kill and I get my War Bear too!

Vier gets More Gear, another TiTle and a companion pet to match Alphonse!!

Bane of the Fallen King

That's a pretty fierce face ya got on there Vier!
Even though I'm taking forever to get to 90, we must take breaks now and again to admire the growing collection of our resident mount-a-holic!

Armored Black Kitty

ooooo - a very fierce lookin' serpent!  gotta get me one of those!

A Kite from Panda Land

To tell the truth, I was just about to mock this next mount, when appeared a hitching post right in front of me.

A Fiery Warhorse with Sharesies!

"What's this?"  [it's kinda like in my way, blocking my path daughter dear --- I'm thinking]
 
"Click on it"

"Oh!"  "a War Horse for Me too?!"

"aw"

I like this one!

Oh wait!  I got a something new of my own to show off!  He was on sale!

Yes, I finally gave in and ordered a couple of pets from the Blizzard Store - even though I said I'd never pay for a pet!  I am Weak!

Alterac Brew Pup - yes, two links.  One to a very cute You Tube on the Brew Pup and one to a great screenshot on wowhead that highlights his drool!

If you click on him, you get the "You create: Mulled Alterac Brandy" thingy and then you get some brandy to drink.  Then you get tipsy ...

Drinking and Flying ...

Flying Under the Influence --- NOT a good idea!

Ciao for now!
Nor.

Rock Concert & Bar Brawl for Mother's Day

I spent most of the day playing with Saelybrooke in Teldrassil.  Leveled up enough to go to Darkshore and witness the Night Elf Slaughter.  Took screenshots of the tear-jerking reunion/parting of a couple of Night Elves, got lost in a cave, healed a new friend, and I should have quit there.

But, of course I didn't, and ended up getting lost on the last quest of the night.  Vier came and helped me out and phew!  was done like dinner.

Katuii and Vier were having way too much fun in the shrine, I couldn't resist, I had to go check it out.

So, I logged in to Sushel, the first time I've ever switched 'toons on the fly like that, and went to play with the big boys and girls in Panda Land.

Vier and Kat showed off their spectral forms.

Vier & Kat as Spectral Wolves [right click open in a new tab to see full size]

Took me to a rock concert.

The Tauren Chieftans - what a band!

Got me drunk.

uh oh ~ a little too much to drink

I started a bar brawl.  ... oops!  how can I not aggro a bunch of stuff when my screen is all blurry?  That's the story I'm stickin' to anyway.  I hopped over the bar to escape the uglies and fell into a pit of more uglies!

many Hammered Patrons - the bright blur mid-screen is either Vier or Kat with their glowy wings

Kat saved me, Vier ralphed on me, and I made the mistake of asking Vier not to tell her father.

I think this is after Kat took down all the uglies ~ I don't see any more red names, so it must be safe now!

So, tomorrow, I'm gonna have to explain how I went out and got drunk and was in a brawl.

Not like that's never happened before, eh Red Bear?

tee hee

must get some zzzz's, it's craft day tomorrow!

All in all, a pretty good end to Mother's Day.  Oh, and Vier bought me two recipes and gave me an elemental pet!  w00t!
