NOTE – This post was somehow not posted and I found it in my drafts. Rather than re-write etc I’ll stick it up now and then follow up with the other posts
So with 85 rapidly approaching (hit 84 in Uldum last night) it’s time to think seriously about when\what\how to switch professions. I really want to drop one and power level the other the same night so as to not be left profession less. I’d also like to switch to something that I can recoup some of the expenditure by selling what I make to level (which is probably not going to happen with Alchemy). As I’ve only got 1 toon above 60 on this server at the moment (Dkeru the Worgen DeathKnight should hit 60 in the next week or so at this rate) I will need to keep Gerutwo with a gathering profession which compliments the new profession. Herb\Alch seems the way to go, as I’m finding there’s much less competition for Herbs than there are for mining nodes. Plus once the DK is 50 the plan is to level Herb\Mining around Azeroth one evening (going to by a big herb and a big mining bag for him) and then drop Herb once I get to 300. This should help Gerutwo out on the way to 300 Alchemy, and the Ore I’ll use to level the Dkeru’s JC’ing once he’s back in Outland. He can then Mine\JC his way though Outland\Northrend and all the JC stuff I can store to disenchant with Dkeru once I think he’s got enough Ore. I may even just have him fly round Outland getting upto max mining for the area
Uldum’s about 80% done, and I’m 4 bars from hitting 85. That’s unlikely to happen this evening as I’ll be finishing up wrapping and getting everything ready for Mr Claus to visit the kids tonight and getting the house ready for the influx of family tomorrow (both sets of parents, grandparents and sister in law + boyf). If I can get on for 30 mins to get a little closer to finishing the Uldum quests then I’ll be happy.
Uldum so far has been great. I’ve picked up the following upgrades in the last two nights (there’s also some other uncommon upgrades as quest rewards but they’ll be replaced pretty quickly as I go through Twiglet Highlands
And this – which isn’t an Uldum upgrade, but I’d forgotten to grab it while in Hyjal
Lucky drop of the night was this little bad boy from a chest in Uldum. I hardly ever get a rare drop that I can use, so this was a lovely little early xmas pressie. I’m not sure if I’m going to equip it or sell it on the AH and then add some cash to the profits to get the BoE Epic BS Caster Shield (I’ll leaning towards equipping it at the moment).
The other alternative is to get Shield of the Mists with 950 Justice Points (of which I only have about 400 at the moment) after a few more instances. I like the idea of having the additional spirit, and to be honest I think I could probably make do with a green quest reward shield for a little longer. I suppose it will all depend on the value of the shield on the AH. Although I’m sitting on around 15k, if I can get enough to pay for at least some of the cost of levelling Alchemy it would not hurt matters. I could alternatively use the cash for the DK to buy flying in readiness for him hitting 60 and going to Azeroth.
This leaves me at 84.5 with the following stats which aren’t too bad. Need to hit up some more instances in the hope of getting some loot and increasing Rep with the various factions.
I also need to head back to Deepholm to get rep up with the Earthern Ring before heading on over to Twilight Highlands I reckon.
