Careful, Construction Underway

Careful, Construction Underway

Keeping track of all of the Wild family goods and services is a daily challenge. There are five  garrisons, four of them housing the maximum twelve structures allowed per the building codes. JB's garrison is still in flux, but it, too, will eventually reach capacity. A sixth "garrison" is Happy's little home in the Undercity manning the Auction House, which takes up as much or more time than running the garrisons.

When garrisons were introduced there was no master plan describing how to best use them. Wild was the first, but despite many hurdles his garrison managed to wind up pretty well organized. Wild holds the Tailoring and Enchanting professions. His profession buildings house the Tailoring Emporium and Enchanter's Study. It all fits, beacause it mirrors how things work prior to the garrisons.
Then came Jocy's garrison, and Tiphaine's followed, and then the rest, each one making individual decisions that seemed fine at the time. Well, time has passed and things have gotten pretty messy where professions are concerned. It is time to develop a master plan that maximizes the family profession business. Stay tuned.

It's Saturday afternoon and JB is on a break. She has reached level 98 plus 39%. Her gear score cracked i600 at is now at i604. And JB gets a present: four ensorcelled tarot trinket upgrades. After installing the upgrades JB's gear score rose to i607. More importantly, her key agility score went from 171 to 298. She has one more upgrade still to come, when the gold is available.

Later in the evening JB hit level 99. Gear from quests increased her gear score to i612.

Sunday - It's all about Football! AFC and NFC Championship games. JB wants to hit 100 today, but that isn't very likely. She is 96% away from reaching her goal.

Quick Auction House Note. The once ludicrous market for high end weapon enchants has steadily declined and is no longer profitable. So Happy is expanding the market for gear and weapon upgrades to make up for the difference. It would be nice if a Trader would offer actual recipes some time in the next decade! More recipes means more stuff to sell. Every day the Group Finder and/or Wowhead is checked to see what is up. Today is Draenor dust trading. No recipes.

Sunday night after the football games JB went back to work. She eventually reached the Throne of the Elements in Nagrand. That series of quests is like voodoo to the Wild family. Things always go wrong. Wild (or it might be Tiphaine) is the only one in the family that has ever finished that quest thread. Well, after getting most of the quests done JB became haunted by a dead fish. Any time JB approached waters where the water elementals are, she started taking large chunks of damage, even though there was no one around her. The first time it happened JB tried to out heal it, but it just got worse. She tried to out run it but died. On reincarnation, she immediately started getting hit again. She managed, finally, to get out of range. Tentative attempts to return were met with more invisible attacks. JB even returned to town and logged out of the game. When she got back to the Throne in the watery area - yep, the damage started up where it left off.

Okay, I know why this is happening. I was even warned, but it was a long time ago and I forgot about it. When I grind xp I tend to pick things up as I go along. In JB's case, she picked whatever flowers she found as well as any treasures. The innocent looking fishing pole by the water looked like one of those treasures. When JB used the fishing pole, she was dragged underwater and attacked by an electrified fish. JB was able to kill it, and that is where she became vulnerable to those water attacks. So now JB just stays out of that area. She may always have problems there, or until Blizz clears it during maintenance. I'd advise never to click on that fishing pole.

It didn't keep JB from pushing on. At 8pm Sunday night JB hit level 100 in Nagrand. That's the good news. Okay, great news. However, JB doesn't have enough garrison resources to build anything yet. It will come. Slowly.

Oh, I almost forgot to update her gear situation. And since she doesn't have a storehouse yet, she has to return to Orgrimmar.

Gear score at level 100: i613
Add Baleful Gear (3 pieces): i625

Congratulations! The Tanaan Jungle awaits you.
