SaintNic(Mage):
Not much here. Tried a few quests in Redridge that require that I gather pieces of meat for a food recipe reward. Combine that with dragonwelp scales. Questing in the area was difficult as I had to get off the first shot before the dragon in order to win the fight. Turning and running was impossible. Some success as my mage moved up one level to 19.
Morpheuz(Warrior):
As stated in a previous writeup, Morpheuz dinged 70 in shadowmoon valley. I picked up two quest from a tower in the center of the map that required me to take on a few orges in search of a couple of items. This was the start of a semi long line of quest that ended with me driving a fel reaver to destroy elementals. It was pretty cool. I had the assistance of a level 70 hunter. We tagged teamed in order to get it done. I died quite a few times as it took me a minute to warm up.
I'm at a place now that I'm not sure what I want to do next. I would like to be the best geared warrior around but my time is limited and that sucks. As I get ready to resume my old tanking duties. I am considering the whole respecc thing at the moment. I need to be able to get rid of the bad guys fairly easy to continue to quest and grind my way to 400 more gold for a flying mount. I will also farm the crusader recipe in the morning as this still goes for about 80g on the AH. Should take about 45 minutes for one to drop.
So as I type this I have come up with the following goals for the week.
1.) Farm crusader enchant for gold.
2.) Get Scryer rep up. Not sure if the other faction is better for tanks with the mixed info I have received.
3.) Find where Felsteel patterns are located.
4.) Get blacksmithing skills up to 375. (currently at 345)
Thanks for reading.

Warriors and Blacksmithing
I am always curious as to why a lot of professions prefere that you take a craft bases on you class. I'm beginning to hate the fact that a lot of information steers a warrior toward blacksmithing. Maybe it just me but I like to do things with very little interaction from other players. Not that I don't like groups, its just soliciting services that I dislike.
I dinged 70 yesterday and was extremely excited and deflated by my new accomplishment. What would be cool if their is a quest that require you to return to your home city and applauded by all the residents. The Dranai have a quest that ends this way but not related to any level.
With 400g, I am here and there about respeccing my warrior protection to prepare for the dungeon runs to come. I ran shadow labs this weekend at level 69. The first boss feared me out of the dungeon into an area that looked like sky and I died immediately. The group thought it was funny. No one ever knew such a thing could happen.. We proceeded to a room where their looked to be a sermon happening. /hunchshoulders. We all died on the first pull and I was blamed. I can't say I blamed them due to my tunnel vision during this time. A druid was our healer and I completely ignored the fact he was being attached until he was near death. I also forgot I still had on googles from Shadowmoon and the fact I had a healstone that went unused. I have not run a dungeon in a while so I was a bit rusty and nervous.
Back to the issue, enchanting or alchemy seems to be a better choice for a warrior. Why isnt this done more often. Blacksmithing used to be a big investment of time with the mithril order quests and thorium related quests from Gatzen. Honestly, they both require a large amount of ore which is best farmed in area you are two low to far. And we all know that crafted items sell for less than the materials to make them
With the BC expansion, I realize there is better items out there. I have constructed a new chestplate but did not socket any gems. The expansion armor is yet to be determined. I will continue to level this up and hopefully craft some decent items in the meantime.
Of the 2-4 readers I have..............What are your thoughts on this issue?

Scholo, Strath, UBRS, LBRS, BRD and BC
It is truly amazing how the expansion has change the warcraft world as we know it. In November of 2006, I lost my job (short story:accepted offer, quit job, offer withdrawn) and found myself playing warcraft half the day and looking for another job the other half. Most of my guild wsa able to put together decent 5-10 dungeon runs. This was cool for a minute but here is what is familiar. What happen to the days where you had to run UBRS 30 times for Drakk to drop the piece you were waiting on. I ran all of these dungeons to complete my set. I also attempt the 45 min Baron run. I found a druid that was up for the task. But being the only two who wanted or needed to do it makes this task impossible.
So what are the skellies doing now? I see no reason to go to these dungeons now that the expansion has arrived. Argent Dawn Rep? Why? What would be nice if these dungeons could be lowered by 2-3 levels to give you a decent dungeon in the 50+ range. BRD still is doable if you want to get attuned for Molten core and Onyx.
That's all I have to say about that.

In real life news, today is my daughter's birthday. She is a brand new 15 year old looking for a license to drive. Gotta hate that. As I know she want to drive my car for practice. Not sure if I advice it but what can I do. It's a part of life I guess.
Morpheuz completed to quests in Shadowmoon yesterday. Nothing bit. One involved spleens from the "lizards" roaming there. Bad thing on this is I started searching for spleens by killing the boars.
The next quest required me to travel to the burning legion camp and disguise myself as a box and overhear a conversation. It kind of funny as one of the legion characters says to his commander "What's up with the box?". I just thought it was cool that somehow I was included in the dialogue.
I awoke this Tuesday Morning with every intent on farming for thorium(for my 52 shaman) and the crusader enchant(for the gold). It appears that there are a few others out there who have the same idea as I do but the price continues to go down as more people get involved. Naturally. The recipe will easily sell for 80-90g. Pre BC, it would go for 120-150g.
Over the weekend, I got plenty of time in on Saintnic. I plan to go deep in the frost tree as I love the snare this guy has. The thing I hate most is getting use to the amount of hits this guy can take. I did countless times. I purchased a few green and use the extra I had on my priest to provide a few enchants to toughen him up and increase his intell. I'm a stud at this point. I would say I'm ready for van cleef but the LFG folks mostly want 19s. I will prob wait till 20 but will call for a little research to make sure I come in at the right level to take advantage of the blues.
I am pretty new to the human race and questing takes a little longer due to the new zones. I'm thinking of running to the other side(night elf side) to hurry things along.
I got a little off track about my intentions this morning, I happen to take a detour to head toward Kara to start the chain for my key. The mob there is undead and level 70. Not to bad. So I will finish the 2 pre-requisite quests there and hopefully complete as much as I can tonight using the XP toward reaching 70. Morpheuz is currently rested through this level so double XP on all kills. No need to log out in an inn anymore. I died at Kara a few time so I thought I would just spend the rest of the day there.

Off Topic -Things that bug me
I notice quite a few things get under my skin and just felt the need to list them
1.) Guys who fart at the uninal. For some odd reason I fell I need to be warmed up first. Say hello first.
2.) People who do there regular shopping in the self check out lanes.
3.) Slow readers in the self check out lane.
4.) Those who like to back into parking spot. Seem like this takes longer than backing out basically because you have to judge the distance to the car around you.
5.) Cell phones to an extent. Maybe I'm too often in a hurry but a lot of cell phone users get in my way. Can you at least drive the speed limit? And what's up with the 10 car gap.
6.) The warrior statements I hate - "Why use a shield, I can dps with this huge 2 hander.", "Sunder Armor? You talking to me? That doesn't do any damge!", "Demo Shout, Sunder? I haven't trained in that yet."

Nothing new
I work early to get a little time in on Morpheus and to make sure the things in my mailbox was not in danger of expiring. I only have 3 quests for Terokkar Forest at this time. I actually read on which require me to put an banner through a group of Orges who hang out in the south eastern part of the map. Everything we fine as they are two levels below me. Mowed down approximately 5 of these guys before I noticed I did not have any food. No cheese or ribs. Not a big deal but required me to use the regular bandages I had on hand.
A stroke of luck happen when I noticed on the crates were clickable. This will satisfy one other quest I have in my logs. I completed them both and headed back to the end, I still haven't seen the end of my rested indicator. It would be cool if this took me into 70. I also noticed I had 200g in my bag from questing. Cool.
Plan for tonight:
1.) For crusader enchant for gold
2.) Farm thorium to assist shaman with leveling jewelcrafting
3.) Decide which zone to head to next. Blade's Edge is pretty close to my current level but I tend to lean toward quest that are at least a level above. Not sure if it's worth my time.
4.) I have a lot of green quests from old zone. Not sure where I want to go with these.
5.) Turn is all rep related items.
These should be fairly simply decisions. Should all be taken care of in a short matter of time.

Morph moves to Blade's Edge
As the title says Morpheus made his way to Blade's Edge last night. It wasn't much of a move. In the earlier runs in Zangamarsh I happen to get curious and explore on of the heading in that direction. Something went wrong with the spiders in the cave and I died. Reappearing in a village in Blade's edge. I use the "angel" to bring me back to life and pickup the flight plan. I went back to Zangamarsh and my first return was last night. The place isn't great on the eyes campared to the forest I just left. I'm trying to decide if I want to returnTerokkar Forest. I have quite a few quests remaining in that zone but they are all green now. What I'm afraid of is getting to a point were I'm suppose to making gold and I'm still gaining experience. I want to gain as much gold toward a flying mount I can.
I've been thinking of my adventures lately. I tend to just load my quest log up got to Allakhazam and determine the best route possible to get them done. Assuming if I stay on the same level, turn them in, the experience reward will be the same.
My adventures last night mostly consisted on finding and completing the quest line that ends with killing the hound master. Which I heard has a really nice quest reward. Didn't quite know where to start as a mob outside on the town drops the quest. You would think the quest line would get harder the further it I went into it. The hardest part was summoning this chick who hits extremely hard. I had a little assistance from a hunter in the area and turns out he was slightly behind me in the quest line. She smack the life out of me at least twice before we got er down. WoW life is good at this point. We return to town to turn in the request and had one of the locals straighten out all the dent I received.
The second little mini boss was no problem. There is a group of three blade carrying demons that chase you to know end so be warned that you can outrun them but there like Jason from Friday the 13th. They eventuallu caught up to you.
Prior to heading to the quest master, a druid gives you a swig to summon some of his tree buddies. This made the task extremely easy in defeating the hound master. We raced back to only get beat down again by the roaming mob. Well, I received most of the beating as it was 7 against 3(pet included). I died. He finished of the last two. We turned it in and it was 12:30 am for me. Since I had to be up at 5:30 for work, I thought it was a good time to hit the hay.
I finished the night with about 600k experience. I believe the goal is 753 for this level. Hoping to ding tonight but can't make up my mind if I would like to instance for blues. Guess I will plan that out later in the day.
