Too Long as Alliance

Too Long as Alliance

When Wildswench made her boost and settled into Orgrimmar as Horde, she knew there would be disconnects. Wildshard has been on the Alliance side for so long he was more or less useless. Wench was not much better off. Orgrimmar was an alien city as far as her recollections about the place.

But she learned. She contacted Happyface in the Undercity, and through him, she discovered the Horde Auction House at Orgrimmar. Through hit and miss, she discovered the Drag, and a set of Portals, expanding her knowledge of places she can use and access.

On the Alliance side Stormwind City was still the centerpiece, nicely located with it's own Auction House as well as a series of portals useful for Wildshard, such as the Bastion of Twilight and Deepholm Portals.

But Wench had a problem - She could not recall where the outside portals were at Orgrimmar. Dredging up her memory, she recalled a circle of stones holding those portals. They are easy to spot once you've seen them the first time, but hard to find on first look. Wench spent a frustrating period trying to locate them.

Wench finally figured it out. There are three towers for flight paths that line up in a single line. Follow that line and the Western Earthshine is laid out in a circle of portal stones.

Having ferreted these things out for herself, she now set her goal. The Bastion of Twilight will be her first target. She could use a "Potion of Treasure Finding" to increase the take. Atkar can make the potions, which is convenient to the Alliance.

But Wench is NOT in the Alliance! She is Horde, and has no access to Alliance potions. Wench is a Tailor/Herbalist. She is focused on her herbing because it speeds up her leveling.  Then she took a look at tailoring again, and , , , well, she changed her mind. Since she can't get help from the alliance guild, she would be all alone in learning and crafting tailoring from scratch.

A better secondary profession is Alchemy. Alchemists need a lot of herbs to make potions and such. Wench had a little twinge of sadness in leaving the tailoring world, but she is excited to take on the role of flasks, potions, and other valuable tools. Wench dropped tailoring and is now starting on her herbing and alchemy work.

With that straightened out, Wench went to find the Terrace of Crafters and the Herb trainer, Jah Den Fla. He has FIVE quests already laid out for her.

Later . . .  Things were going well for Wench's herbing, and she gained considerable knowledge. So she was very confused when the training stopped abruptly.

Wench's next task was to visit Wayrest Manor, far to the north in Drustvar. There stood a Dungeon portal. In order to continue her profession she would have to run a dungeon. Wench had hoped to get more training before getting her legs knocked out from under her, but there was no way around it.

Mahakeya knows the feeling. She needed a lot of help from friends to get the necessary dungeons that landed her the great fishing pole Keya proudly has. Tiphaine once held that status, too, but she has fallen behind and would have to wade through another set of dungeon runs. Tiphaine is not inclined.

So, time will tell if Wench gets that chance. If she manages to get into the Meitha guild, perhaps that may happen.

By the way, Wildswench is now iLevel 116. Her gear score is 249, and Artifact Power is AP 7.
