Wednesday (3 Oct) - The Scatter Gun Effect

Happy ran out of Satchel of Cenarius bags. Happy sells them for 198 gold apiece and they have been selling well recently by the herb crowd who are looking for large, cheap bags. Emphasis on "cheap" since the bigger bags run upwards of 400g. So what. Well, that meant that Happy had to get hold of JB so that she could send mats to Wild so he could make some more. Wild didn't have any mooncloth (required by the recipe), but he did have felcoth, which can be tailored into mooncloth. Wild had to travel to Moonglade to use the pool there. The crafting takes 30 seconds a bag. Wild was soaking wet by the time he got them crafted. Ten bags, and that exhausted all of the black lotus, another ingredient for the bag. Black lotus is difficult to farm and very little turns up on the AH. That could mean trouble down the road.

So what, again? Well, just a minute. Mery wanted to make some leather gear for Fist, to upgrade her gear. That required mats that Mery had, but had to be crafted into something else. Both Philly and JB got involved in crafting mats that was sent to Mery to craft the gear, which was then sent to Fist.

Yea, yea, but so what? The "so what" is that this is just two examples of the many, many things going on, or that should be going on, as JB does a little alchemy leveling, BB chases spiders all the way out in the Wetlands for some crafting mats for Mery, Wild gets caught up chatting with guildies every time he logs in (or JB, or Philly - most of the Wild family seems known to the guild by now).

Speaking of the MM guild, we are now in the second week of MoP and the first raid dungeon is now open (I forget which one). The guild is starting to form up it's first raid group. See, even more distractions.

Well, let's say it together - so what? While all of this is going on, Fist has been cooling her heels in Silvermoon City, not getting in any leveling at all. What was supposed to be the main project - Fist - is just one of a bunch of projects going on in no particular priority.

At least the fleas seem to be in retreat. For now.

As for Fist, she finally got her chance. In Tranquillen, Fist had the three more difficult quests to kill two elites, find and kill three named mobs, and rescue three npcs. All of this took place inside the fortress called Deathholm. At level 23 she faced mostly 20ish mobs and they died easily under her two-handed staff. Fist wrapped up all of the Tranquillen quests and went looking for bigger prey. After a search of areas, Fist decided to head for Hillsbrad Foothills. Here she battled more undead of slightly higher level, but not much better skill. Three elites died, including Warden stillwater. Stillwater was a spy, a friendly gone bad, and after nearly lulling Fist to sleep with his long winded excuses, Fist killed him. He reformed as a demon, and First killed him a second time. That time he stayed dead.

Fist returned to Silvermoon City to empty her overflowing bags. Fist has started saving +int gear "just in case" she ends up having to heal at some point. Fist will be testing out the healer spec once she reaches level 30. She is now level 27.
