The Argonauts

I’m deep into 66 territory now and today when I go home, I will purchase my epic ground mount.

I saved up the 480 for the skill last night (Exaulted Darnassus Discount) and as of this morning’s auction sales up 16 gold shy of the Reins.

Woots!

I’m halfway down the line to hitting 67 as well, hopefully the new mount will help speed that up.

I do think, atleast a little, that I should wait and just start saving for the next riding skill (800 gold) for the flying mount at 70.  That’s only a 60% speed mount though, and that’s where I’m at now.  I’ll need some more quickness when I’m on the ground.  Plus, could I really wait?  I don’t think so.

UPDATE:

I gots my epic ground mount!

Blizzard has posted new talent calculators that have the new talents available for Wrath of the Lich King:

Update: (2008-07-22 13:25)

After looking at the hunter talents vs what I’m currently specced at, looks like hunters are due for a respec.  I haven’t compared the talents to any other classes, but they’ve changed some of the lower level talents for Marksman and Survival, so they’ll have to get a respec to fix the inconsistency.

I hit 65 last night and just over 300 gold!

Woots!

I dumped off some more Azerothian quests and loaded up on a bunch more in Outland.

I’ve got a bunch of stuff up in the AH too that should make some decent money.

I did some PVP grinding over the past week to upgrade some of my weaker components to [Field Marshal's Chain Spaulders] and [Marshal's Chain Grips].

Woots for me!

I see Paeen trying to catch up to me!  Dinging 52 pulled him within 9 levels!

I pushed it to 62 yesterday after almost hitting it monday.

I’ve been trying to take some care and finish up my Azerothian quests to work more in Outland, but I’m a sucker for the story.  I did manage to clear out a few that I had just recently picked up.  Questlines that I have no intention of finishing.

The rewards in outland are just so much better than my current gear.  I had planned on shooting for the Field Marshals set by doing up the PVP.  That is how I got [Bloodseeker], but I think the greens in outland are far better.

I think I’ll start saving up my honor for some leet level 70 gear.  At my current pace I should be there in a month or so.  I hope I get to enjoy some time at the top before the cap jumps to 80.

Although, thinking about it, I’ve got plenty of other games that I’ve been neglecting for WoW lately.

I hit 60 today!  Woots!

My highest level ever!

I went to check out the pricing on the faster mount, but It’s way out of my range right now.

85g for the mount and 510g for the riding skill.

I picked up this nifty item [Shard of Afrasa] from a quest in the Badlands.  We’ll see how this helps with mana conservation in rapid battles.

I have to report that the [Uther's Strength] has a pretty decent proc rate for me, and I don’t melee that often nor do I have aggro much.

For awhile I was craving the [Hurricane] bow, but I’ve picked up [Bloodseeker] from doing Alterac Valley missions and it’s nice!  Not quite the same speed, but it’s got great dps.

I’m thinking where we are now, it might make sense to start thinking about a guild tabard.

I finally broke 58 over the weekend and made the journey into outland.

What a cool place it is!

There are some cool bombing run missions where you fly a Gryphon over things and drop bombs on them!

And the quests there have already gotten me almost to 59 and some nice items as rewards.

I did some questing today in the Hinterlands and I managed to make it to level 47! I mailed u guys some stuff i picked up but don’t need. I sent stuff to Feler and Ellisif so check it out when u get a chance. Well i’ll tty guys l8tr.

Forget the [Hurricane]!  [Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury] just dropped on the EU-Boulderfist realm.

The guild Last Resort downed Kil’jaeden after a reported 40 hours of attempts.  Super props to those guys.

That bow is amazing for hunters.  In addition to it’s super DPS, it makes it’s own arrows when firing.  That means no need for the quiver, opening up an extra bag slot!

That’s exciting to me!  I’ve been playing hunters since I first began playing WoW years ago.  I can only hope that someday I get high enough to pick up that bow.
