Chaitee Loses Her Job (Part Two)

Chaitee Loses Her Job (Part Two)

Chaitee got her boost because she claimed that the Auction House needed to be protected from marauding Horde. She didn't realize the complications that would arise from trying to level in order to have that protection, and running the Auction House. The two tasks often interfered.

She loves the time spent with Taz and Hati out in the open spaces of Highmountain. She is thrilled to find a second home at the True Shot Lodge and all that it offers her. Having her pets Taz and Stretch within arms length is also a benefit, which is why she stuck with Beast Mastery.

But she is reconsidering that decision. First, she has to ask herself if Beast Mastery is even the right spec for the job. After all, the job requires almost full time, on the spot monitoring to catch incoming Horde, including fights mostly at melee range within the confines of the Auction House. Chaitee had to admit that if her real role is protection of the AH, a better spec would likely be Survival.

In the back of her mind, Chaitee was thinking through again what Sista had told her. As Survival, she would be armed and armored in mail gear with a potent melee weapon that would include a combat pet for either tenacity (tank) or ferocity (DPS). Chaitee would be able to pick and choose which pet spec to take. At least that is what she envisions. Again, Sista's words came to her. Does she really want to level at the same time she is running the AH?

Sista again came to rescue. "What we need is a backup for Chaitee." That got Java and Rakta stirred up. Rakta went into hiding. But Java? Well, she and Tiphaine immediately went into a huddle between them.

Java is a plate wearing level 107 paladin. She'd make a pretty good guard for the AH, and has stayed current with her combat skills. Java added her own two coins to the conversation, noting that she already has three hexweave bags and the 26 slot Addie's Satchel. There would be no need to spend gold for personal bags.

Java's  main hurdle has nothing to do with her competence. Java is a flagrant clothes horse. Every bag in her bank is packed full of clothes. But that's the point. The clothes are in her bank, not filling her travel bags, and she has almost a hundred open slots to hold goods. This could be a win-win for all:

(1) Chaitee can focus on her leveling.

(2) Java, who would love to get some action, agrees to take over the Auction House, even if it means living in Stormwind.

Tiphaine showed a rare smile. For once her girls were working together. All but Rakta. That's for another time. For now, there is unity. Tiphaine had a parting incentive for Java. She will start her new job with 500,000 gold. Chaitee had amassed a million gold during her period at the AH. Tiphaine expects Java to seek that goal as well. 

PS - It will take time to get used to not seeing the name "Chaitee" plastered all over the Auction House. Instead, AH players are going to be wondering who this "Javajoo" person is.
