Wild's Surprise Scenario Ride

Wild's Surprise Scenario Ride
Surprise Visit to the Vindicar and Argus

Wild was at the tail end of his burning through the Legion kill zones, but he was still moving fast. He had run out of the Val 'shara kill zones and instinctivly grabbed a quest for Black Rock Hold. Wild shied away from what looked like a dungeon run, but there was no dungeon stone. He waded in to take out the mobs that were around and found himself in a serious battle helping some other players bring down an elite. Wild followed along with the other two players and corpses began to mount. And then Wild realized that the scenery have changed.. Apparently the Black Rock Hold quest gave Wild a pat on the butt and sent him along and into a scenario.

Everyone knows Wild doesn't do raids. Wild doesn't do dungeons. Then there are scenarios. The scenario expert in the family is Keya. She has done many, too many to remember. Some of them are thrill rides and a lot of fun, and to some extent Keya enjoyed them.

How about Wild? Wild knew almost instantly that he was likely in trouble. The other two players were moving fast, killing as they went without stopping. Wild could barely keep up and was getting hit from all sides. Wild could kill them, but that meant switching to bear form, slowing down to a crawl, and watching the other two players speed away. This is why scenarios are particularly bad for guardian druids. Your pals of the moment don't wait up. In fact, getting behind, getting lost, or just asking a question is likely to get you booted from the scenario.

Wild did not get booted. Wild, by some miracle, even managed not to lose the other two players on a long twisting tower and arrived intact enough to tank the thing they were trying to kill. And got the kill. The scenario let Wild go and Wild got whatever it was he wanted from the scenario . . . whatever it was, being too flabbergasted to recall for the moment. No, Wild is going to try to avoid scenarios. Somehow, Wild doesn't think he will be able to avoid them.

Stunted Sales - Chaitee is battling an ongoing war at the auction house as fierce as the killing zones the rest of the family face in combat on the fields. She's connived and counter-attacked, out-witted and wrung the best deals available, and yet she is starting to fall behind. Huge conglomerates Suncow, Capidwarf, and Gloras are the dominant players, particularly in the bag market. There are others, but those three make up the bulk of Chaitee's competition. Materials and bags are selling sluggishly, stunted by an overload of goods as well as high pricing on materials. The market has entered a strange period where only the heavy farmers can wring a profit.
Chaitee isn't giving up. She is still stalking her goal of $1,000,000 gold. It's just taking longer than she figured. As of this morning she has $916,680 gold.
Excuse me, Chaitee has to get Wild, Sista, and Atkar out of bed and do some farming.

PS - Atkar is a terrible farmer. Even though she has Tailoring and Cloth Scavenging, a warrior is just way too slow for farming. In ten minutes Atkar gathered 10 cloth. That sucks. The chore goes back to Sista and Wild.


PS for Wildshard - While trying to do some other quest Wild found himslef on a ride to the Vindicar and the Legion world of Argus. Wild is too busy to do anything but enjoy the view, but he will have to make time to get a better look soon.
