Tuesday (9 Oct) - Ferelas and Thousand Needles

Wild interrupted Fist's leveling long enough to announce that he had finally ridded himself of all of his cata gear. Now in full MoP gear, Wild's gear score is a smugly satisfying i422. "Not that you've done anything with it," noted JB. "And endlessly rubbing neatsfoot oil into that leather is not going to make it look any less ugly." Philly then weighed in, mentioning that the raid LFR would open up next week - and that the minimum gear score required to queue up for it is i460. Wild made a face and went back to his hammock. 

All three of the level 85s are going to have to make some decisions about all that old gear they've been replacing. JB really likes the look of her enhancement cata gear, and plans to finally get into the transmorg game. She needs to select what pieces to keep and what to give up. Wild wants to keep his cata tier gear, but still isn't sure he likes the look enough for mogging. Wild's bank is stuffed full of old gear, though (he even has Wrath feral gear tucked in a corner somewhere), and he does want to make a transmorg set out of what he has (mostly because the MoP gear is pug ugly). Philly's old gear is just tossed in a corner. What she'll want to do with it is anybodies guess.

In the meantime, Fist made it back to Ferelas. She has been working out of Camp Ataya in the north of the zone. That camp didn't exist back in Wild's day. Nor was Stonemaul Hole, another sizeable camp with numerous quests. In the "I'll never learn" category Wild confused Fist about the yetis. There are two areas that have yetis. Both are farmed for their pelts in separate quests that are not provided at the same time. Despite Wild's experience with those quests, he gave Fist the wrong guidance and she wasted time killing the wrong yetis. Eventually that got sorted out, to the chagrin of the yetis.

The most fun so far was the trip into Dire Maul. This is the second dungeon that quests have guided Fist into, and she is getting a kick out them. Fist was sent into the Dire Maul arena to take on several named mobs in one on one combat. The one elite was way over Fists head, but Fist got help when reinforcements arrived. Lots of fun.

Fist is not getting much rested XP anymore - even overnight in Org doesn't return back much. Fist did a lot of quests in Ferelas, cleaning out the two northern camps, but found herself heading to a third camp still short of level 43. At least things were much more familiar when Fist arrived at her third horde encampment in Ferelas. Camp Mojache looked exactly the same as always. It is also infested with quests. Fist picked up a dozen of them, and that should keep her busy for quite awhile.

The Camp Mojache quests did, indeed, keep Fist busy a long time. They were all very familiar and comfortable in Wild's memory, and Fist sliced through them without any problems. She has a couple she still needs to wrap up, and will then be on her way to Thousand Needles.

Fist is now level 45.
