No, I'm not dead

I just haven't really had anything to post...

But, the next post, which will hopefully be soon...maybe by the end of the week, will contain something of interest hopefully.

This is why you shouldn't make the gnomes mad...

"Who am I kidding," she muttered angrily to herself as the brittle winds whipped around her. Drawing her black cloak tighter around her lean frame, Isthla kept moving through the billowing snow. A hood shielded her face from light but certaintly not from the cold. Her purple lips had gone pale from the cold and her long eyebrows were covered in ice particles.

"Just because I stood around while their stupid king almost got killed those darn gnomes won't let me use their tram. Heh...he deserved to almost die. He pratically wiped his own race out for Elune's sake! And what do those blasted gnomes do? They kick me off the tram when I try to get on...And ofcourse the gryphons in Ironforge just had to be on break. Who ever heard of gryphons needing breaks! They're here to fly me around not sit around and eat their blasted hay! It'd be nice if they'd eat some of those gnomes."

She continued on her trek through the snow, muttering to herself inaudiably. Her feet crunched the snow as she almost sank in every step.

"This is going to be a long walk to Stormwind..."

Violia!

In the past few weeks I've been complaining to my ingame friends how boring WoW has gotten for me. One of my friends said he had the same problem, but unlike me, he was actually doing something about it. See, I just came to the realization that it is completly my fault that I'm bored with the game. Recently, all I've pretty much been doing is logging on to Isthla, saying hi to the guildies, and sitting around SW for a while, not doing anything at all. Every once and a while I'd logged on to an alt, sit around and go back on Isthla.

Boring isn't it?
Yeah.

And now that I've figured out the problem, I know the solution. I, myself, need to work out the boredom. This weekend I'm going to get around to things I've been putting off for no good reason. These are things I've been wanting to do to achieve my goals. And they will get done, and I will not have to complain about my boredom anymore.

  • PVP - Any BG is fine with me! I just need the honor and marks to get my next piece of pvp epicness
  • Grind Winterspring rep - Yes, yes, I know. Sounds boring and mundane. Well, it will be, I admit. But I want my tiger!
  • Do my dailies - I want epic flight form, and therefore I need to quest for the gold. Putting off my dailys won't help me at all.
  • Run Instances - Yeah. I want my rep. I want my herioc keys. Not gonna get that by sitting around am I?
  • Try to get a spot in a Kara raid - Due to some RL issues I am not able to get online when my guild, TK, raids. So my friend has said he might try to find me a spot in his guild's raid groups. Even if I have to respec tree, I'd be happy to go.

And there's many, various, other things. But I think that small list gives you an idea of some of what I want. Oh, and I'd also someday like to be called:

Isthla, Queen of Pets

Or something along those lines =D Be looking for a post on that in the near future...

Sleeper Cartel's 3rd Annual Halloween Party

http://www.sleepercartel.com/index.php?Page=37

Check that out.

I'm probably going to be attending, so I'm ofcourse going to make a character on Perenolde on Friday and try to get her to atleast 10 before Saturday...haha...Gonna be a night elf druid named Isthla that looks exactly like, you guessed it, Isthla on BWL.

And if I enjoy this party enough I might try to level this druid up. She's not going to be feral though. Boomkin looks rather fun...hmm...

So anyway, if any of you readers decide to attend I guess I'll see you there. You'll know me when you see Isthla. Happy partying for all of you that attend, and I'll probably have some coverage on this both here and on The Azeroth Times. I always love to find an exciting new event to write about.

Just so you know, the party is on Saturday, 7 pm Perenolde server time.

p.s. ugh...I need a new 2v2 team.

Story - Prologue Sample

Just a little something to entertain you...

The pounding of hooves shattered the forest’s peaceful silence. Birds and other creatures fled at the sound, it was definitely not something that belonged.
“Do you see her?” a deep voice called as the pounding came to a stop.
“Nope, no trace,” replied another voice, this time a bit higher than the first.
Two black horses stood in a forest clearing and sitting on their backs were two rather bulky men.
“We’ll never find her. She’s eluded us for weeks,” whined the higher pitched man.
“Don’t give up hope, Ley, she can’t hide forever. Eventually we’ll find ‘er and bring the criminal to the king. He’ll pay us good; we’ve got to keep searching,” said the other.
With no further conversation they rode deeper into the forest. In the shadows of the clearing sat a panther that blended in quite well. It twitched its tail, leapt into the trees, and was gone from sight.

News

I added another blog link that was requested by the owner.

Samownall - I haven't really had time to check his page out, but from what I did see it looked interesting. I'm sure he'd appreciate it if you guys visited him.

I am currently writing what I hope will become a book. Yes, I am working on the next guide, but slowly. I will work on small sections at a time, and eventually it will come. But until then, I might post a sample of the book. I'm not giving any more information about the guide out yet. You'll see which one it is when I'm finished =)

The Alliance Herald

I just recently discovered this charming newspaper while browsing some blogs....

The Alliance Herald

Take a look. It has some very interesting stories, and they have hosted some events which look rather interesting and fun.

Don't worry, I'll be working on the next guide soon. I just like to notify people of interesting sites when they come up ^^

Talbuk - A guide to getting your own (Alliance Version)

Okay, so it's not that complicated, but I figured 'Hey, someone might appreciate a guide' There's probably already plenty of these guides out there already, but I'm still going to add mine to the collection. So enjoy, and I hope it's helpful.

To get to neutral with the Kurenai at Telaar in Nagrand, you must first complete the quests at Orebor Harborage in Zangarmarsh...


Once you have finished these quests, you can move on to Telaar in Nagrand, where more quests will be waiting. There are also two other questgivers who arn't part of the Kurenai, and will not give you any reputation with them for completing their quests.

The Corki Chain - The annoying little draenai who can't help but get himself in trouble.

Wandering Ogres - A curious huntress wants to know more about the ogres so far from their mound.

Murkblood Problems - A corrupted murkblood lord must be dealt with.

Corrupted Orcs - These two arn't a chain, but they do go together.

The Throne of the Elements - This leads to many other quests, but they do not give reputation with the Kurenai.

The Totem of Kar'dash - Escort

Wanted: Durn the Hungerer - This is a quest that recommends you have 5 people to kill Durn, the level 67 Elite that wanders around Oshu'Gun

Wanted: Giselda the Crone - This quest requires you to kill Giselda who is located in Kil'sorrow Fortress

Wanted: Zorbo the Advisor - Requires you to kill an ogre.

Fierce Enemies which leads to...

More Warbeads - A repeatable quest that allows you to turn in 10 warbeads for 500 rep.

Other ways to gain reputation are to kill any ogres in Nagrand for 10 rep each and to kill Kil'sorrow members in the fortress.

Eventually, after some time and effort, you'll get to exalted with Kurenai, and you can then buy your very own Talbuk. Either a regular talbuk for 60g (?) or a war talbuk for 90g. They both go the same speed, and require the same level (60) but the war talbuk has armor.

There is also the option to get a talbuk from Halaa pvp, but the only color it can be is black. This talbuk is available in regular and war versions as well.

Good luck, and I hope this guide helped at least a little. Any feedback is appreciated, and emails are welcome as well.

Soon To Come

  • Talbuk - A Guide to getting your own (Horde Version)
  • Getting to Karazhan - A guide to getting your Master's Key
  • Spec'ing for Success
  • Earthwarden - How to get that great tanking piece
  • And many others.

Any ideas for guides can be sent in an email, as well as questions and concerns, and I'll see what I can do.

He Inspires Me

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Blackwing+Lair&n=Loktari

He is the leader of Crowd Control, the most successful guild PvE wise on Blackwing Lair. Although he is horde, I am still inspired by him.

Just thought I'd say that.

Illidari


Illidari the priest, who is currently level 4. I'll work on that eventually...

Tuesday, September 18, 2007

Updates...

This post is nothing too important, just a list of some updates on things...

Epic Flying

1909g/5000g
--I should be at 2000g by this weekend. Currently I'm going at a rate of about 300g a weekend, because that's the only time I can play. I might try to increase this, but I'll have to see what time allows. I don't want to be stuck questing all day...

Ranea

Reached level 25
--Once I reach 27 I should have a friend that I'll be leveling with. Also, instead of staying in the usual night elf questing areas I'm going to be moving to the human areas. I eventually want to hit exalted with Stormwind so Ranea can get a horse, instead of riding around a tiger...

Illidari

Remade as a [priest]
--This is probably what I'm going to keep her as, since I find priest's fun, and wouldn't mind trying a priest on the horde side...

Dorinaa

Draenai shaman on BWL
--Dorinaa existed before, she was level 11, but I deleted her. I have once again remade her, and she is currently level one. I have several other alts I'm working on, so she is probably going to remain in the low level range for a while.

Arasa

No updates as of yet
--Along with Ranea, this is one of the two alts I will be working on most. She is currently level 24, nearing 25, and I might be able to get there in the next few weeks, depending on what I'm doing.

Eaimer

Reached level 17
--She is getting close to 18, and should be there soon. She will most likely be leveling a bit slower than Ranea and Arasa, but I will try to spend some time on her when I can.

Illidari -- A Decision

Okay, so I made a blood elf on the server Bleeding Hollow because I have a RL friend that plays on there. (He's 70...but I think I can get there eventually ^^)

She started out as a warlock, and I got her to 7.
I deleted her, remade her, and this time as a paladin - she is currently level 3.

Now I'm thinking about deleting her once again, to make as a different class. I already have a level 40 paladin, and I don't want to go through that whole paladin leveling process again.

My options are;
Hunter
Mage
Priest
Rogue

I have a 24 hunter on my main server - Arasa.
I have a 17 mage on my main server - Eaimer
A 24 priest on my main server - Ranea
And an 11 rogue on my main server - Shealia.

So the question remains. What class do I choose?
I want to keep the character a blood elf. I think I will probably go with the hunter, but I am not sure yet.

If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to post. For now I'll just delete Illidari the paladin and make her a hunter. I'll post an update on this issue with a shot of her, most likely as a hunter once she's gotten to level 10, so she'll have her pet. It's going to be a lynx, named ofcourse, Isthla =)

Some Old Pictures

Isthla the Paladin & Isthla the Druid


Isthla the pally in Wetlands




Level Progression...



Some fun times questing

These are just some old shots I took back when Isthla the paladin was my 'main'. I leveled her to 40 then just stopped and went back to Isthla the druid. I still have the pally, she's on the realm 'Blood Furnace', but she's still level 40. I plan to getting to her one day, but I just don't know how I'll do it on a realm where I don't really know anybody anymore.

Wrath of the Lich King: WoW Expansion

I don't know about anyone else, but Outlands is beginning to ware. It was exciting and full of adventure when the land was new and I was still leveling up, but now I've completed many of the quests in the areas and I'm being hard pressed to find quests that don't require groups. So far the only area I have finished completly is Zangarmarsh, but I'm one quest away from finishing Nagrand and my only quests in Blade's Edge Mountains are the three group quests up in Ogri'la, and the dailys. I've been questing mostly for money for my epic flying, and so far I'm up to 1,444g.

So, hence my rant, I know when the new expansion comes out I'll certainly be ready to explore some new lands, although I'm not quite sure how I'll feel about the whole leveling thing once more. To be at 70 is to be at the top, and just like when Burning Crusade comes out, I'll once again be thrust to the bottom of the scale and have to level up to 80.
I'll also have to leave any epics I have behind to start off with greens, and eventually move on the blues, and then once I hit 80 I can start working on the epics again.
All in all I can tell it's going to be a lot of work, but if I get to experiance some new areas and content, then I think that will make it worth it.
