Scraping By

Scraping By

Well, Monday has come and gone and Happy has failed to provide the gold for Jocy's trinket upgrade. Jocy even offered to craft truesteel and steelforged essences for Happy to sell (at about 2400 gold per item). The gold from those sales could then pay for the ensorcelled tarots she needs. Unfortunately, ensorcelled tarots cost about 3700 gold. There are only two crafters selling them and both seem intent on keeping the price exceptionally high. It didn't help Jocy's cause that sales were quite poor on Monday. Prices are falling all over the place - except for those tarots. Happy's money bag is jingling, but only because Happy is buying up bargains. 

Jocy did get in some work last night, but didn't have much to show for it. She tried going to the Soulslicer area where rapidly respawning "mobs" could be killed. What the tip failed to say is that the "mobs" were elites. Jocy hung around and killed a couple of them, but nobody else was around. This tactic requires a group. The other tip wasn't much use, either. The strategy is for Jocy to lather fel sludge all over her, up to nine stacks. This increases the damage dealt by up to 40%, but there's a catch. Jocy would also take an additional 40% in damage, too. The kicker is that if Jocy hits ten stacks - it's instant death. Again, Jocy is dealing with elites here, many of them, often close enough to aggro more than one at a time.

Almost two hours of galloping around Draenor looking for treasures turned up almost nothing. I have an addon that shows Jocy where they are, but no addon that tells Jocy she has already collected it before (you can only collect once).

Tormmok, Jocy's new bodyguard in training, reached level 95. Leveling him is taking an irritatingly long time, mostly because the missions that have been available suck, don't offer much, and each mission has been taking ten hours.

Does Jocy sound frustrated? She is.

Progress Toward Draenor Pathfinder - such as it is:

Master Treasure: -> 75 -> 86 (14 more required)
Vol'Jin's: 8200 -> 8700 -> 9700 -> Revered (DONE)
Awakened: Honored -> no progess, 3000 toward Revered (need 12,000)
Saberstalkers: Honored -> 2775 -> 4325 toward Revered (need 12,000)
