Zuldazar is a Strange Place



Jocelyne begins her journey on the War Campaign at the Vally of Honor at Orgrimmar. She soon embarks on an assault on the Alliance and Stormwind itself. After surviving those battles, she embarked on a ship that took her to Zandalar. This land is bright, colorful and amazing to see. It is also dangerous. Joceyne has made early progress but must admit that she was confused for most of the journey. She then departed for Zuldazar, one of three zones in Zandalar. The new land is very like great Egypt and is equally puzzling. She was able to locate the Flight path, but groaned when she got lost and now can't find that landmark. This will take some time to sort out.

Jocy did see one wonder that had her staring in awe. A monstrous beast of a flying creature, a beast that seems born from the mount that Mahakeya owns, the Slayer Felbroken Screecher. It dazzles the eyes. Both Keya and Jocy want that mount.



For now, though, Jocy must focus on reaching iLevel 111 so she can get access to the i225 gear she can gain. She is still level 110, i190 gear, Level 1 Artifact, and 49% of the way to her next level.

================================================================
Tiphaine Takes Control

Tiphaine has stayed out of the limelight in the early going. She has her i194 gear and is 43% of the way to iLevel 111. Her girls are out doing their jobs, so Tiphaine decided to check on her own arrangements. She immediately found a problem.

Tiphaine is a Blacksmith. Her other profession is Inscription. There is a long story about why the two incompatible professions were forced into that unhappy spot. Rather than try to accomodate the mess, Tiphaine made a quick decision.

Back in the day, when the guild was Horde, Inscription had a place. But more important, most of the guildies wore leather. Then the guild transitioned to the Alliance. The guild had changed, and the gear most relied on now is plate. Inscription had no place.

So, Tiphaine retained her Blacksmithing and added Mining as her second profession. That allows Tiphaine to earn ore that can used to make useful plate gear. At least that's the new plan.

Once her guild duties were seen to, Tiphaine waded back into the fray. In due time she earned iLevel 111. That opened up the Auction House. Most of the gear (except the Artifact gear) were available at semi-reasonable cost were the i225 gear. Since Tiphaine's current gear is well under that, she opened the bank. She bought seven pieces of gear, all at level 225. Her i194 gear level jumped to i214. And the gear was not that expensive, none over 500 gold. It's a nice bounce, but it works only for ilevel 111. The next level will be a lot more costly or out of range all together. Enjoy Level 111 while it lasts.
