JB is well on her way now to completing her garrison. Resources are still limited, but it's only a matter of time. She is testing two new buildings that the family has paid little attention to. She has a large, empty lot and decided to try a Lumber Mill. Now that JB isn't doing the leveling grind, she should have time to cut lumber, which will also increase her resources. She will also be the first in the family to have a Salvage Yard. JB doesn't know anything about it beyond the description in Wowhead. I think the Yard increases leveling and gear for followers, and also offers real gear, some of it unique, that JB may be able to use herself. Other buildings will be erected as resources are available.

In other news, Jocy was feeling pretty good about the state of the family. Running the family business isn't as hard as Wild always made it out to be. Then Philly asked Jocy to come visit her in Orgrimmar. Jocy suddenly had things to do and told Wild to speak with Philly. Hmm, who is really running things around here, Wild thought?

Philly was very prepared when Wild visted her at the Wyvern's Tail in Orgrimmar, which also happened to be a favorite watering hole of Wild's as well.

First off, Philly began, she admits that she was pretty angry that Tiphaine was given the Inscription profession, ignoring the fact that Philly was already a level 600 Scribe. BUT, she pressed, she understands that she is not far enough along in her leveling to be helpful. At least not yet. She resigned herself to losing that profession.

Philly forged on, taking sideways looks at Wild, who hadn't said anything. The family needs a Jewelcrafter, too, but Jocy's plan to give it to a demon hunter not even identified yet is stupid! Not when there is a Jewelcrafter already in the family! Philly was getting heated and she tried to calm down.

Wild was on his second mug of beer and smiled benignly at Philly. Taking that as permission to continue, Philly made her pitch, stating emphatically that there's no need to wait on this "demon hunter person" because she is ready to do what it takes to get that profession to its highest level. She was even ready to take on other chores, such as picking up the mining profession, which, she notes, is not assigned to anyone and goes decently with jewelcrafting.

Philly finally had to take a breath, having said all those things in one long rush of words. The bartender handed Wild another beer.

"Got the itch to level up all of a sudden, huh?" Wild asked her.

Philly opened her mouth again. Wild waved her off. "Go! Do! Get it done!" Wild waited a few seconds, wondering why Philly was still standing there. Maybe he should pat her on the back or something. "Philly, you have always been the responsible one among you girls." Philly glowered and clamped her mouth shut.

"We'll help ya out any way we can." Wild couldn't remember if Philly was the responsible one are not, but it sounded good to him.

"Wanna share a beer before you trot off?" he asked. She didn't, but thanked Wild anyway and took off to get started on her plans.

Wild decided to drink her beer as well as his. And maybe a few more.

Philly, meanwhile, needed to take stock and get ready. Honestly, she had been hoping for this moment. She had in mind following a similar path that JB took: using a gathering profession (which in Philly's case could be mining) and Mount Hyjal as her jumping off point. Her gear level is a modest i418, and she will need a lot of practice re-learning to be Shadow Priest.
