Wildshard Makes His Decision

Wildshard Makes His Decision

Wildshard went to the Alliance side today. His faction change from Horde to Alliance was successful.

Whoa! What a rush! Wildshard remains himself in his new incarnation as an Alliance Night Elf and Gaurdian Druid. He also kept his name. Clean shaven, too. I must say he makes a dashing figure. Wild's slouch is gone, too.

Wild begins his new life in Darnassus, but he doesn't stay there long. He needs to get to Stormwind City. There was a moment of panic, but Wild quelled it quickly. He took a page from his own experience, remembering that he could fly to Ratchet, near Wild's haunts that are now dangerous for him so close to Orgrimmar.

Ratchet caters to both Horde and Alliance. Wild took the boat to Booty Bay. He thought he had to go through Ironforge before going to Stormwind, so he took that flight path. That made the flight longer but it wasn't very long before Wild flew into Stormwind.

Wild's ticket to Legion was ready, but Wild wasn't. There were things that needed to be put in place before he put himself in harms way.

He checked on his Garrison, and was pleased that it was in good shape. The bank still had all his stuff, a rich treasure of materials now available to Sista and the rest of the guild.

Wild should catch up with Sista, also a Gaurdian Druid, to get his spells and weapons straightened out. At Level 100 he does not have his Legion weapon yet. Gear score begins at i680 with an i621 staff.

But there is some nasty history with Sista. Sista made a terrible mess when she pushed too fast into Legion. Sista very nearly went insane and to this day she operates at less than full strength, having never completely mastered her talents. She is not a good role model for Wild. Wild claims to need no role model. He intends to make his own way. Perhaps he'll even help Sista getting her own issues resolved.

Tiphaine kept tabs on all the activity, keeping her thoughts to herself. It has been a long time since Wild had cared about anything important. Time will tell whether this new version of Wild will be a boon to the guild, or an even worse albatross around the guild's neck. Still, not even Tiphaine could completly ignore the potential temptations of the Elven Wildshard.

Wild thought it would be easy, but he quickly discovered what so vexed Sista when she took the path to becoming a druid in the world of demons.

Wildshard is now on that path and is finding it as unfriendly as Sista did. Wild has reached the Dreamgrove, but that is as far as he has gone to date. After the previous Crash a lot of trouble was taken to simplify and remove addons to protect against future crashes. Yet Wild finds himself looking for crutches such as TomTom in order to track paths and locations.

For example, the quest "To the Hills" requires a flask of moonwell water. Sounds simple. But the series of actions required to complete it nearly destroyed Sista's sanity. Wild hopes the same fate doesn't fall on him as well. Tiphaine grudgingly authorized the addon Tomtom to help with tracking.

Should Wild fail in the next 24 hours, he may very well become just another broken druid.
So much doom and gloom!
