No big Class Quests this week.  I decided to concentrate on my Warlock and Druid.  Only four boxes to go on the Druid for level 25.

Duskwood

I was happy to see she was the right level to quest in Duskwood, one of my favorite areas.

The Raven Hill graveyard!  I haven’t done Duskwood in a long time, but it made a big impression on me back in the day.  I’d run along the fence line pulling skellies and ghouls outside of the graveyard to have a better fighting chance.   I tried a bit of that this time around, but competition is fairly fierce for mobs, so you have to go on in there to have a chance at what you need.  There were some nice drops in the cemetery, a wand, a ring and a staff in particular.

I had forgotten about wandering Mor’Ladim in this place. Man, my Warlock was level 23 going in, and he’s got a huge aggro radius.  I stayed well away, but I saw him chasing others.

Another peril of the boneyard I don’t recall at all were two Grave Robbers that would just pop up out of nowhere.  Run, run!

 

I had not been so lucky earlier with Stitches.  I knew he wandered the road, but I was on autopilot heading to Raven Hill from Darkshire, and saw him ahead too late.  I ran off the road thinking I’d be safe, but he’s another guy with a huge aggro radius, and he just ran over and one shotted me.  Then, of course, anytime I was on the road to Raven Hill I was paranoid.   He engaged some players right at the juncture of the road to Stranglethorn,  at one point, and as they tried to run, he chased them, and I just kept backing up and backing up because he was getting into my area of the road.  I could have been in Stranglethorn in another few steps, I had to back up that much, but finally he defeated everyone and headed towards Darkshire.   He was always scary in the regular game, but never quite like this.

 

Hallow’s End

It’s Hallow’s End in both versions of the game.  I’m not doing anything in the current game version, but in Classic,  where every single thing that can keep you alive is highly desirable, I Trick or Treat at the local inn anytime I’m nearby, and I always bob for apples.  I love those dancing skeletons.

 

In Classic, everyone seems to be in the holiday mood. Everyone wears their masks, everyone keeps on their costume when they get one.

My Feral Cat as Bat:

 

My Night Elf Hunter as Human Defias.  I thought it was such fun to be an apparently human Hunter in Elwynn Forest, in a game version that doesn’t allow Human Hunters.  I was also surprised to get several blind guild invites on my Hunter.  Nobody ever invites a Hunter to a Guild, in my experience.

 

Pants of Power

Why don’t clothes ever look anything like their icon?   My newest pants for my Paladin, yikes.  Nice stats, though.

 

This makes me appreciate my BFA characters and their opulent clothing.

 

All I do Is World Quests

Still plugging along on rep, just doing whatever the Emissary of the day is.   I actually really like most World Quests.  Most of them, in any case.

There was one tonight where you had to hit a gong and then fight one hundred trolls.  They just kept coming and there was no damage taken, and it was odd and slightly boring.  They did not disengage one I hit one hundred, but they didn’t chase me out of the area, either.

 

In another, you ride this behemoth Fire Monster and kill 200 goblins.  I am not a fan of these quests, because of the bobbing up and down motion being a bit nauseating.   The bad thing here is he would not let me leave him behind after the fight and quest turn in.  He was attached.  I had to log out to get rid of him.

 

Happy Adventuring!
