Wednesday (3 Aug) - My Last Gold Piece

Happy swears he's given Wild the last gold piece Wild is ever going to get from him. Wild tried to explain that he "saved" Happy 17,000 gold! He should live up to his name and be Happy! Ok, so Wild bought the [Flickering Shoulderpads of the Wavecrest], i378 gear to replace Wild's pretty but dated i359 shoulders. The guy on the AH wanted 42,000 gold for it, and Wild engineered a price of "only" 27,000 gold. What a deal! Right? Someone? Anyone?

It's really Happy's fault, ya know. Happy would never let Wild spend 42k gold on ANYTHING, much less a single piece of un-gemmed, un-enchanted gear. So Wild took matters into his own hands, talking to the seller directly when I was able to catch him in game. He told Wild he was selling the gear for his guild; since it wasn't for himself, he said he was open to negotiations. How could I know he would agree to a killer price? And just Wild's luck that he and Wild were both standing around in Orgrimmar with nothing much to do but a little haggling? It wasn't my fault, I tell you! PS - Don't mention to Happy the price, ok? I told him it was 28k (I figured I'd better get some walking around money for the gems and enchants before Happy shut Wild down completely).

The Hunter Fortress is on a small hiatus this week and next. Bean did get in some solid questing with new Hunter Fortress member, Jocelyne, a paladin healer. We took the Org zep to the Undercity and then flew to Hillsbrad Foothills. We started with murloc slaughter, added some spider feeding, and hunted down Mr. Whitestead and Citizen Wilkes. Wilkes was tricky to find, but easy to kill once we nabbed him. Working in a group with a healer was a new experience for Bean and Jocelyne both. Jocy had to remember not to get too wrapped up in DPS to heal, and Bean had to remember not to run out of range of her healer. We had a good time! Bean raised her level from 21 to 23, and Jocy bumped up from 24 to 26. Jocy will take a break, now, until more of the Hunter Fortress reaches level 25. Shevils is still 24 so there may yet be some 20-24 bracket pvp before we all reach the new bracket.
