Mahakeya Gums up the Work

Mahakeya Gums up the Work

Tiphaine made a difficult but successful first run into the Broken Isles. Tiphaine tapped Keya for the second member into the breach so she could include work on her leather working skills. Keya, to my surprise, was still standing in the Trade District looking a bit lost. What the hell? Where's your quest!?

A Khadgar's servant came to her rescue and handed her the quest, "In the Blink of an Eye." Nice catch, Blizz. Even if we screw up help is right at our elbow.

Mahakeya took up her role in the Legion war and, quite frankly, kicked butt! Blizz must have put some extra juice in her breakfast. If Keya and Tiphaine were to go up against each other in pvp the winner would easily be Keya, based on the results from the prior scenarios. Sparks may fly over that assessment.

Keya was taken down a few pegs when she had numerous issues. After getting through the initial events she was given the easy task of flying to the Illidari campsite below Dalaran. She watched other demon hunters leaping off of the edge of Dalaran and saw the huge wings span out behind them, cradled in a slow guidable descent.

Encouraged, Keya, who is a bit afraid of heights, mind you, mimicked the prior flyer and leaped from Dalaran. Amazing! The wings spread out and Keya was flying! She could even maneuver! In her both frightful and exciting descent she didn't notice the floating pad off to the right and below Dalaran. That's where the Illidari base is. Keya drifted past and continued to descend. Now the problem is that she didn't know where to land, having missed the landing field.

So. After landing, Keya got to do a lot of exploring and considerable swimming hoping to find her way out of her situation without too much embarassment. Clever and resourcefull, she did eventually find a base with a flight path, though not the one she should have been at. Still, she took the flight path back to Dalaran for another try. This time she did some additional research [Can you tell I know nothing about the demon hunter race except which buttons kill things?].

So. I may be using that word a lot. So. Demon hunter wings don't spread on some command, they need airflow to open naturally. It's a two part process. Get a running start, Jump! and then hit the glide button. Viola! The wings spread. Gonna need a macro for that. Anyway, she tested her process by jumping off the stairs in Dalaran. They were short flights, but it got her some needed practice.

So. Feeling more confident (and having taken some nausea meds), Keya again did the run, jump, and glide over the edge of Dalaran. Keya glided smoothly, this time turning to the base below and landing safely. Wow, now that that's over with, the rest should be a piece of pie.

So. A simple quest took Keya three failed attempts until she noticed the button that was accidentally covered in the corner of the screen. Thirty minutes of frustration, but Keya finished the quest and was back in business.

The long night is starting to take its toll. Keya has a lot yet to accomplish. Tiphaine may want to wrestle back some time, too. But right now it's nap time.

Tiphaine didn't take a nap. She went back into the Isles, burned some quests, and leveled to about 90% of the way to level 101. Tiphaine also has three weapon artifacts, but I haven't figured out how to add them to her blade. Two of them should be equipable but I think I'm missing some agent to make it happen. The third has artifact power which may be a one time use or a permanent upgrade, I can't tell which.

So went the first full day of Legion.
