This Week's Goals Roundup 20/08-27/08

Well considering I haven't been able to get online as much this week, this weeks goals will have to roll over to next week I'm afraid :(

What did I manage to get done?

5 more pets to level 25
5 more pets upgraded
Get my hunter to level 80
Valor Capped on both my Priest and Deathknight
 Fishing and Archaeology skill at maximum level

Not a lot really!

5 more pets to level 25

This week I managed to get 4 new pets to level 25, so not too bad going, but still a little short of my target.

5 more pets upgraded


Unfortunately the trainers were not as giving as last week, and I only managed to upgrade one of my pets this week. Really hoping to improve on this next week.

Get my hunter to level 80

Another week goes by when I don't even log onto her, oops! Must make some time to get her leveled up.

Valor capped on both my Priest and Deathknight

I finally got my Deathknight capped! Woohoo! It's been a good couple of months since I persevered with LFR's, Scenarios and Heroics to hit my cap, but with 5.4 around the corner, I have had to hit it this week. This does mean my priest took a bit of back seat, but even so, I managed to get roughly 400-500 valor on her also, so again I nearly hit my target of getting both capped. Hopefully next week will see me do this.

Fishing and Archaeology skill at maximum level

Completed! I'm glad I again have these two skills maxed out, even though I may never use it as much as I did when I first did them on my horde priest, I like to have them to fall back on if I need to grind anything or just to catch up on the skills achievements I am missing.

A little disappointed I didn't get more done this week, but work has been a bit of a pain and got in the way of my WoWing. Alongside what I did manage to get done, I organised an Ulduar 25 run earlier tonight and we managed to get up to Yoggy, but due to our setup (2 melee, 1 ranged) the tentacles and insanity loss meant we had the insane debuff quite quickly. Hoping to head back there in a few weeks with a few more people and get him down, hopefully 0 lights also.



I also collected up enough Ethereal Credits from my Soul Trader pet to buy another piece of the Ethereal set he sells. I now have the headband and the body piece. The body piece costs 1000 credit and is the most expensive piece, so I'm pleased to have gotten that out of the way. Definately getting the shoulders next, they look great, its such a shame I can't transmog into them with them being white quality items.





 

  




 
Next weeks goals:

5 more pets to level 25
5 more pets upgraded
Get my hunter to level 80
Valor Capped on both my Priest and Deathknight
 
Going to stick with last weeks goals and see how I get on to be honest. The pet upgrades goal is all down to luck, so hopefully next week will be better than it has been this week. Along side these goals, I hope to start farming the Uldum camel mount, but that can take a back seat a little while longer if I struggle for time.

Screenshot time!

Hey all! I have been sorting through my screenshots and have picked the best of the bunch, hope you like :>


Just a few steps further forward... don't mind that banana...

Loved this!

How come the cat race get paw covers and us wolves get nothing?!


Me and my 'Crew'

She's just floating there minding her own business, still a little odd.

Weekly Goal Roundup 14/08-20/08

Hey guys!

This week I set myself the following goals:

5 more pets to level 25
Upgrade at least 5 pets from uncommon to rare quality
Grind the last remaining 800-900 marks for the Sumprush Rodent
Get Archaeology to maximum level
 My Hunter leveled to 83

Did I complete them? 3 out of 5!

Get 5 more pets to level 25

I have a total of 11 new level 25 pets this week! I am so pleased to have hit my target and then some, means I can take a break right? Erm wrong!

Upgrade at least 5 pets from uncommon to rare quality

I managed to upgrade a total of 6 pets upgraded this week, thankfully the trainers were kind and gave me some flawless stones, I haven't had much time to go out and try upgrade wild pets, so the stones were a welcome bonus to completing my daily trainers.

Grind the last remaining 800-900 marks for the Sumprush Rodent

I did it! I managed to get through the horrible grind finally and grabbed myself an uncommon Sumprush Rodent, in both available colours too!




A couple of friends and guildies took advantage of the crate too, as long as it spares someone that grind, then that's all that matters.

Get Archaeology to maximum level


So near yet so far! I managed to get to 525 in Archae, ready to hit Pandaria next week :)

My Hunter leveled to 83

Sadly I haven't even logged my hunter this week so she is still level 78.

Other than missing one deadline, I have managed to add 2 mounts to my collection this week, some guildies and battlenet friends helped out with finishing my Glory of the Cataclysm raider achievement to get the Drake of the East Wind and I added the rare Blue Proto Drake from Utgarde Pinnacle heroic too! Was just by chance I was in Howling Fjord doing some Archaeology leveling, and thought I may aswell try for it while I was there, so pleased I did! Looks great on my priest with her current transmog gear :>

Speaking of my priest, I also managed to get through Mogu'shan, Heart of Fear and Terrace LFR's and not be bored out of my mind! With the next patch up and coming I'm trying my best to get VP capped on both my Priest and Deathknight but I think thats a little wishful thinking to get capped on both.


So what will be on my list to complete next week?

5 more pets to level 25
5 more pets upgraded
Get my hunter to level 80
Valor Capped on both my Priest and Deathknight
 Fishing and Archaeology skill at maximum level



Aiming for 5/5 but 4/5 would be fine with me!

What's in the box?

Last night, I had a sudden urge to check out our black market auction house to find only one item available:



As you can see, I placed a bid, sort of thinking it would go a lot higher anyway and that I would get my money back in the mail in a few minutes.  Well no actually, I went and won it didn't I??! Saw in my chat box I had won, and was instantly nervous. I posted I had won it on my broadcast for all my battlenet friends to see and the spams immediately started, 'What's in it?!' 'What did you get?!!!!' I have heard of people being bitterly disappointed when they open it for example on their DK to find HC healer cloth bracers which is no use to them what so ever and losing out on thousands of gold. I had a horrible feeling that was about to happen but opened it and was thankfully rewarded rather than duped.


A lovely upgrade for my priest! Sure there is some hit on them, but reforging is my friend and I wouldn't be able to get anything close in LFR, so I was extremely pleased. Another point I must make is that THANK GOD I bid on it via my priest, otherwise I would have been so so gutted for my Deathknight to get these.

At 17k, that is pretty cheap, especially when chatting to friends about how much I paid. Jojo from Admiring Azeroth was telling me they go for way way more on her server and another friend was saying 100k+ and there is no WAY I would chance that amount of gold incase it turned out to be  brawler's guild invite for something, I would be so mad!

So on this note, I have some questions for my readers. If you could please comment on this post to give me a better idea of how much people on your server pay for such a box, and if you were able to find out what they got in it to see if it was worth it? Most of the people I have spoke to have been gutted with the contents but I would love to hear a story where people were greatly rewarded!

Weekly Goals: 7/08-13/08

 Hey everyone!

My WoWing goals for last week were as follows;

Hunter to level 80
Priest to level 90
5 more pets leveled to 25
Run TK
Run ZG at least 3 times
Darkmoon Faire trainer defeated every day


So have I met this weeks goals? 3 out of 6 aint so bad right? :<

My hunter is now level 78, a little short of my level 80 goal, but thats not really too bad. I've had enough of the Wrath content and looking forward to getting Cataclysm content out of the way to be honest too, no doubt will be saying the same when I hit Pandaria, I should probably just be saying "Can I be level 90 already?"

Really love having a Draenei character again and of course my lovely pet, Fluffling, by my side once more. Back in Vanilla WoW days, my main character was a Night Elf Hunter and Fluffling would sometimes play the part of tank in our 5man dungeons. The good old days!

Fluffling really got a face full there...





My priest is level 90! Double huzzah! To be honest levelling her was very fast, but I leveled her mainly via pet battling so having constant rested exp probably helped a fair bit, but it got her levelled and got my PVP win count up. I'm only 88 wins away from the super cute Stunted Direhorn pet. I got 460 ilvl thanks to some friends helping with some heroics, pointing me in the direction of some tailoring gloves on the auction house and converting Justice to Honor, that gave me the last little boost to get me to Mogu'shan Vaults. If all that wasn't enough, I somehow got valor capped too! Good times!





 A total of 4 new pets have been leveled to 25 this week; Ethereal Trader, Tundra Penguin, Crimson Shale Spider and Chrominus. I had planned to also get my Crawling Claw leveled, but sadly has fallen short of lvl 25, and is stuck at lvl 15. He is top priority next week though. I hope to achieve my 5 new lvl 25's next week for sure!

I managed to do Tempest Keep, 4 runs in ZG and cleared the Serpentshrine pet drop bosses and managed to acquire...nothing. I did go to BWL also on my priest in the hope for some Transcendance gear for some lovely transmogging to match my newly aquired Robe of Faith, which I have the BMAH to thank for. Luckily the shoulders dropped, the piece I was hoping for the most :> Teamed with Benediction, I can't go wrong. Retro WoW transmogging ftw!

I'm hoping for a little more luck in the other raids next week. As a guild, and some twitter friends, we managed to go to Firelands and Bastion of Twilight also this week, so that was a nice change and had lots of fun on Mumble too! Hope we continue these fun runs.

The darkmoon faire seemed to come and go pretty fast this month, and I only managed to challenge Jeremy 4 times. Next month I hope to see him every day.




What does next week hold in store for my lady wolf? Well if I can at least make some progress on last weeks 50% completion of tasks, then I'll be one happy Worgen!

5 more pets to level 25
Upgrade at least 5 pets from uncommon to rare quality
Grind the last remaing 800-900 marks for the Sumprush Rodent
Get archaeology to maximum level
 My Hunter leveled to 83

I'm really hoping the pet trainers are gonna be kind when they come to give out Flawless pet stones! /beg

World Cat Day!

Today is officially World Cat Day! (Yes it's actually a thing!)

I am a cat owner. I have my two girlies, Jess and Lola, and I do class them as my babies and spoil them rotten!

Left to right: Lola and Jess (Jess is sooo smiley!)


Since becoming a cat owner 2 years ago, I feel I've become more aware of cat and animal charities and when deciding who to take my charity items to, it now gets divided between cancer research and our local animal charities and I hope World Cat Day brings some much needed attention to animal charities everywhere!

So why am I posting about World Cat Day on a World of Warcraft Blog? Well what better day is there than this to get my Worgen Druid made and levelled to join many many kitty druids on our special day! :D

THE best /dance ever!
Purple eyes <3
I was amazed to see you now get Cat Form at level 6, but was thankful I didn't have to trek on through to get to level 20, just incase I didn't make it for today. I love the Worgen Druid cat form, and hope to test out the many fur colours when I get to a main city.

Happy World Cat Day everyone! /purr

This week's roundup

Hey everyone!

I want to kick start a new blogging habit to reflect on what I've done over the past week with regards to any of my characters, and what I plan to achieve before the next reset.

What have I been up to?

This week, 31/07 - 07/08, I have been jumping between my level 89 Priest alt and my level 68 Hunter. My priest I am just leveling via pet battles, and she is 42% into 89, the experience is insane. Hope to continue that next week. Brilliantly, my Hunter is now level 75, thanks to some very helpful boosts from Dan and Hannah! Thankies muchly for those! Bring on level 80 asap.

Alongside the leveling, I have been gaining some point in Engineering, slowly but surely, getting ever closer to being ready for when Pierre is available to make. Currently onto Saronite level, so a tad higher than where I'm supposed to be leveling, oops! Cobalt can't come in wrong, especially at the prices its fetching on the auction house.

Other than alt hopping, I have been going to transmog/fun runs of old school raids, doing my weekly TK run and having no luck with the mount, again. One day I'll be able to post that I own it, hopefully one day this next week! ;D Also went to ZG a couple of times, and no joy with the mounts there either. Will have to check the drop %'s again, I could be in for a long grind with these.

With regards to my pet collection, I can't not mention my latest addition again, (I'm sorry but I'm excited!) but I managed to get an Ethereal Soul Trader pet, which I plan to get to level 25 asap. He is currently level 20 so not far to go at all. It would also be nice to try and replace some of my uncommon pets to rares also, I've kind of let that slide so I need to get back on track and boost my warcraftpets score some. The next pets on my to get list are definately the Tiny carps, so far I only have the green one, so will be scouring the forums at Warcraftpets for some trades me thinks! I have 7 TCG pets incoming from Ebay, so Gusting Grimoire's will be available for trading very very soon.


Goals for next week

Hunter to level 80
Priest to level 90
5 more pets levelled to 25
Run TK
Run ZG at least 3 times
Darkmoon Faire trainer defeated every day

I'm not sure how my work schedule will effect my goals this week, hopefully I should be able to achieve most, if not all of these by next Tuesday. Only time will tell ;)

My last TCG pet obtained!

The elusive Ethereal Soul Trader is elusive no more!

Earlier today I posted to twitter concerning my trade for anyone who had an Ethereal Trader pet, really on the off chance, I never expected to actually sit here tonight and say I owned it! Just wow... I am too excited to finally check this guy off my list.


So besides looking amazing, he is an actual trader, and sells various items including a set to let you dress up as an Ethereal! Can't wait to obtain enough of the credit you need to buy them. I was unsure how to obtain the credit with him, but asked the previous owner and he explained that when you kill something which would normaly yield exp, you get 1 credit. 




So we set off to killing things!




Once defeated, he zaps the life from it, turning it into credit. The purple animation to zap the life essence from things is amazing! He then shares it, keeping up with his side of the deal of course!





I can't wait to get enough credit to buy each item and test them out!

Just love him!!!! :D
