Foraging for Flowers and Rocks

Foraging for Flowers and Rocks

After deciding that there wasn't any reason for Javajoo to mess around with the Tanaan jungle, her curiosity got the better of her. She found the passage into the Tanaan Jungle a relatively easy one. A few battles and a quick stopover to establish and enter the Alliance Lion's Den where Tanaan operations are centered. Java is still leveling mining and herbalism, the two professions that Java wants to use to help level at the beginning of Legion. Java had to start from scratch and are so far at 603 Mining and 316 at Herbalism. Java gets two ores for every flower she picks, so it'll take Java longer to finish Herbalism, so the foraging continues.

In addition to picking flowers and pounding rocks, Java made a complete sweep of Tanaan (thanks to Tiphaine for getting the family flying skill in Tanaan) and then checked in where a weekly battle is waged against three elites. Java was lucky and found a group already engaged. Java managed to get in on two kills. Later, she helped kill the third elite but she must have arrived too late to get credit for the kill. Tiphaine smiled at Java's situation, having been there and done that. Tiphaine eventually reached the point she could solo at least two of the special elites, and in group had killed all three many, many times. Java needs a lot of help just to kill one of them. In time she'll get it done, if only to impress Tiphaine.

Tiphaine's interest encouraged Java. She decided to tweak the wings of one of the lesser jungle denizens called Manglers, a monkey like level 100 elite. The battle took considerable time, but Java was careful and patient. Layered in heavy armor and stocked with healing spells, Java eventually killed the beast. Her first solo level 100 elite kill. Java didn't even have her follower along, either. The lure of getting more involved in the war continues to tantalize her. Gear . . .  must . . .  get . . .  gear.

On another subject, I need a name for the soon to arrive demon hunter. I chose a Hindu backround this time, incorporating two Hindu gods, Mahalasa and Kartikeya. Mahalasa is a female avatar of the god Vishnu and a deadly enchantress. Kartikeya is the male Hindu God of War. I merged the two names into one: Mahakeya. I then did a search of the name and there were no matches. So the name is safe for now.

Will the character be male or female? Do you have to ask?
