Wild Wants a Shipyard Too

Wild Wants a Shipyard Too

Wild is more interested in fishing than killing these days, so he started the initial quests to get to the shores of the Tanaan Jungle, where he heard there were new fishies to catch. Once there, though, he figured he'd go ahead and get his shipyard built, seeing that Jocy already had hers in operation.

Wild didn't count on the fact that when Jocy reached the Iron Docks it was in the evening and there were crowds of other players around also doing those quests. It was maddening and confusing even having seen Jocy do it, but what was worse for Wild is that he arrived in the morning, and the nasty level 100 mobs had no one to battle - but Wild. Sigh. Wild wears leather gear. Jocy wears armor fit for a tank. Wild can deliver murderous damage to multiple targets, but he also had to maintain a steady stream of healing. Everything Wild did seemed to take twice as long as it took Jocy.

Wild is stubborn, so it took time for Wild to realize he could avoid many unnecessary battles by slipping into cat form, turn invisible, and quietly pass by a lot of mobs. That worked really well, until the stupidly difficult to figure out quests forced Wild to abandon stealth while trying to figure what the heck he was looking for. At one point Wild was leading a train of several dozen enemy mobs - it took a dive into the water and a shift into fish form to get out of that mess. The most irritating quest required finding a grapple dropped deep into the docks with no clues how to find it.

The whole patch so far seems incomplete and poorly put together. Maybe it gets better, but so far I havn't been impressed or even mildly entertained so far. Once Wild can fish in Tanaan, I think his questing in Tanaan is going to end.

Wild managed to get the quests done, and got his boat trip to Taanan. Initially, Wild didn't bother setting foot on Taanan. He immediately began fishing from the railing of the transport ship that brought him there. The new fish is called a Felmouth Frenzy.

Wild did get a little bored and, figuring he'd get ahead of Jocy, he managed to complete enough quests to find Vol'Mar, a horde outpost in Taanan. That success earned him a trip back to the Garrison and his new shipyard. Wild built a second ship, a destroyer, but, uh, well, he sort of let it get destroyed. No matter, he can build another. The skinny here is that down on the shipyard there is another Command Table for ships. Just like the daily missions at the Gsarrison, there are daily missions for ships at the shipyard. Just another chance to grind.
