Brewfest Tokens

Just wanted to share with you all what could be done if you put in some effort. Two days ago I obtained 823 tokens. This was with missing 3 days of racing and 2 days of dailies. Even with the event being extended you can obtain a good chunk of them by racing. Even though you can only do it once every 18 hours, it is the best means of obtaining at most 40 tokens a run. As long as you are not distracted by typing and focused you should do fine.

I avoided buying a new Brew of the Month membership and the new pet in order to save up tokens. I probably could have generated 1000 with the extension but doing 2 hours of racing on alts burned me out of racing every day.

Now to focus on Del and get him to 75!

What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been!!!



WOOT! I had a piece of Brewfest regalia from last year. Finally got the Dark Iron Invasion done. and went to dance in Dal!


I have such a feeling of satisfaction right now... who needs sleep! ^_^

A backlog of sorts!



I've had a busy week with family visiting and work so my WOW time has really decreased hence why I have not been as active with posting. I do apologize for the sudden drop in my consistency.

I have been spending my time running Dire Maul for improving my goblin reputation and I was concerned how my arriving in Booty Bay would affect my ability to obtain this simple achievement. Currently I am hated and I don't wish to destroy my reputation with the cartel since it is a huge grind repairing the damage I caused. Thankfully I was able to to fly to the town, and get killed nude by two guards. Once there I simply got to the roof top and got my achievement done. While the costume is great and lasts 12 hours, it's 12 hours of real time. It ticks down even when you log out of your character.

So I got a few more achievements done but I won't be posting all of them. Those that I wish to share are:

I am so happy to get this one out of the way! Got it during a run with guild mates.


This one is no longer required for the meta. I would have not minded it remaining cause well, I joined the club last year :D. Finally nice to get it done!

Now I have been trying out Alterac Valley on my mage Yuugi to see how the XP is. So far past level 71 you gain 1% of your level for every objective completed. These objectives are the destruction of a tower or the slaying of the Captain and General. So while alive, which can be difficult when you have several 80's looking to kill you, you can obtain a good chunk of experience and level. Heritage gear currently does not boost your xp gain but Zarhym has already stated that they have fixed this in the upcoming patch.



So my hunter weeps as Yuugi was extremely lucky. Ah well. I need to go back for a mount and honor kills on her anyway.

Ulduar Achievements



I took a brief break from the game due to work and have not written anything in almost two days. Well I'm going back as I have the next few days to work on my characters some more!

One difficulty with my work schedule is that I usually work Tuesdays which prevents me from participating the first day of raiding for the week. I was really happy to be able to participate and thus complete some achievements I desperately wanted to clear up.



So I completed these two thanks to the guild!!



I've really been behind completing achievements. Neirin has been kicking my ass when it comes to achievements and I admire his commitment. I've been half ass about completing some due to my focus on alts and well other minor goals. But I am thinking I need to focus for a week and get some of the ones I've been waiting on. I'm second in the guild on how many achievement points have been earned.

So when I log on today I may end up killing goblins while I wait for a heroic daily group. I'm at 6565 and need to work on getting my red proto drake.

What scares me is I have to form an arena team... and that's not gonna be easy for me. But let's see who's game. I'm slowing working on my PVP set and perhaps I should dual spec finally.

Tsuunade, Champion & Crusader.


Finally after missing several days and forgetting to do some of the dailies, Tsuunade finally catches up with Tifa and Risa in being a Champion of the Alliance.

Prior to Patch 3.2 I decided to not turn in the seals required to become a Champion of the Alliance due to how the quests for both Valiant and Champion stacked with each other. In many cases you could do two quests at the same time. With 3.2 going live however that changed and the Valiant quests were changed so that they would no longer stack with the Champion ones.

I understand why this done. However having been spoiled by how things were and how there were new quests for Champions I really started to tire of the Valiant ones. Perhaps the most annoying one was the weapon quest which made you leave the entire area. It really became time consuming.

The Valiant quests are an excellent way to grind reputation with your reputation with your faction cities. They were an extremely superior method of obtaining reputation when they stacked with the Champion quests that Champion's Writ was completely worthless to me and a waste of a potential 10 gold earning.

On some of my alts I have not achieved exalted status with the cities so I am wondering if I will have the patience to either grind the reputation while I can by these quests, or just simply complete more quests in the old world for Loremaster.

Oh! Tsuunade did obtain five achievements and spammed guild chat!
