Mahakeya Gums up the Work
Tiphaine made a difficult but successful first run into the Broken Isles. Tiphaine tapped Keya for the second member into the breach so she could include work on her leather working skills. Keya, to my surprise, was still standing in the Trade District looking a bit lost. What the hell? Where's your quest!?
A Khadgar's servant came to her rescue and handed her the quest, "In the Blink of an Eye." Nice catch, Blizz. Even if we screw up help is right at our elbow.
Mahakeya took up her role in the Legion war and, quite frankly, kicked butt! Blizz must have put some extra juice in her breakfast. If Keya and Tiphaine were to go up against each other in pvp the winner would easily be Keya, based on the results from the prior scenarios. Sparks may fly over that assessment.
Keya was taken down a few pegs when she had numerous issues. After getting through the initial events she was given the easy task of flying to the Illidari campsite below Dalaran. She watched other demon hunters leaping off of the edge of Dalaran and saw the huge wings span out behind them, cradled in a slow guidable descent.
Encouraged, Keya, who is a bit afraid of heights, mind you, mimicked the prior flyer and leaped from Dalaran. Amazing! The wings spread out and Keya was flying! She could even maneuver! In her both frightful and exciting descent she didn't notice the floating pad off to the right and below Dalaran. That's where the Illidari base is. Keya drifted past and continued to descend. Now the problem is that she didn't know where to land, having missed the landing field.
So. After landing, Keya got to do a lot of exploring and considerable swimming hoping to find her way out of her situation without too much embarassment. Clever and resourcefull, she did eventually find a base with a flight path, though not the one she should have been at. Still, she took the flight path back to Dalaran for another try. This time she did some additional research [Can you tell I know nothing about the demon hunter race except which buttons kill things?].
So. I may be using that word a lot. So. Demon hunter wings don't spread on some command, they need airflow to open naturally. It's a two part process. Get a running start, Jump! and then hit the glide button. Viola! The wings spread. Gonna need a macro for that. Anyway, she tested her process by jumping off the stairs in Dalaran. They were short flights, but it got her some needed practice.
So. Feeling more confident (and having taken some nausea meds), Keya again did the run, jump, and glide over the edge of Dalaran. Keya glided smoothly, this time turning to the base below and landing safely. Wow, now that that's over with, the rest should be a piece of pie.
So. A simple quest took Keya three failed attempts until she noticed the button that was accidentally covered in the corner of the screen. Thirty minutes of frustration, but Keya finished the quest and was back in business.
The long night is starting to take its toll. Keya has a lot yet to accomplish. Tiphaine may want to wrestle back some time, too. But right now it's nap time.
Tiphaine didn't take a nap. She went back into the Isles, burned some quests, and leveled to about 90% of the way to level 101. Tiphaine also has three weapon artifacts, but I haven't figured out how to add them to her blade. Two of them should be equipable but I think I'm missing some agent to make it happen. The third has artifact power which may be a one time use or a permanent upgrade, I can't tell which.
So went the first full day of Legion.

Doomsday Cometh, Legion Hath Arrived
Doomsday Cometh, Legion Hath Arrived
Tiphaine demanded to be the first to step into Legion. She took the Stormwind portal to Dalaran at about 11:30 pm PST. Dalaran was still monster infested so most of the players in Dalaran hung out in the main room where the quest thread ended. Seemed appropriate. See pictures of the crowd. At about two minutes before midnight the quest, "In the Blink of an Eye," appeared in air. Those of us already in Dalaran realized that we/they would have to leave Dalaran and then port back into Dalaran or the quest couldn't be completed. With that part done, Tiphaine was ordered to the flight area in Dalaran and then took a waiting flight that carried her down to the Broken Isles.
Once there, Tiphaine was given a sidekick and began a special segment to prove her worthiness to the Lich King. The long segment took most of an hour to complete. It was gruelling. Tiphaime died against the first mob she encounterd. It was embarrassing. Even with the help of the sidekick she died at least ten times. Death in the invasions just meant getting reincarnated and returned with 100% health. Not here. Reincarnation left Tipahine with about 25% health. She was guzzling potions and using bandages constantly trying to stay in the game.
After the first battle I don't think Tiphaine was ever able to get over 60% health before having to deal with another challenge. The demons hit hard, and most of the terrain was covered in burning ooze that can quickly suck the life out of her. Give Blizz credit, it was a tough opening for Tiphaine. The prize at the end was well worth it - she earned the blade "Maw of the Damned" with gear level i750. Her overall gear score is now i708.
Tiphaine did eventually pass all her tests and was sent to Archerus where the death knight training is done. She was also named a Deathlord of the Ebon Blade and became an emissry of the Lich King. So, I guess Tiphaine works for the Lich King now. I assume there are similar trials for the other races. Following that she got her first class hall quest to lead a troop against an array of bad guys on the Broken Isles. Tiphaine was able to pick from five different areas - not that it mattered, I didn't know anything about any of the areas.
She randomly chose Aszuna as a likely spot to start. Tiphaine wielded her new artifact blade and began killing. Thankfully, the intensity of combat was more in line with regular leveling and something Tiphaine could manage. It helped to finally get away from the button mashing recklessness of the invasions, and start to think again about spell choices and methods to stay alive.
I stayed up until around 3am, and didn't push too hard. Tiphaine broke out of questing mode for while, too, doing some exploring and enjoying the new landscapes. Overall I'd call Legion a success so far. She's now about halfway to level 101.

Legion Countdown - Last Day Before Legion Launch
Legion Countdown - Last Day Before Legion Launch
Wildshard got most of what he needed for Legion in yesterday's mulitple invasions. His gear score is now up to i679. He's purged all of the +int from his bear form gear. Wild has been very unlucky in one aspect, though. His original staff was a +int one, of course. Wild had hoped to pick up an agility staff from the invasions, but that hasn't happened. In fact, Wild just found out that +agi staffs don't drop from invasions at all. He has to wait for Legion.
Wild found himself at the Auction House. The pickings were decidedly slim at any cost. Wild had to settle on an i621 staff, Kihrawr's Scratching Post. Wild does have two Coalesced Fel's he may be able to use should a staged weapon come into his hands after the launch.
Wild actually likes his new staff, despite it's poor properties. See the pic below. Also, notice that Wild has enough of the invasion gear (called Felshroud gear) to look very similar to all the others. It's a good look, I admit, the artists did a good job, but it's pretty boring when everyone looks pretty much the same.
The rest of the family are as prepared as they're going to be. If anyone does invasions today it will likely just be restlessness to get started, not for any particular need. I may add to this post as the day goes by. I'm restless, too.
Update: Wild can't help himself, running two invasions. Nothing fancy, but at least his gear score went up to i680.
Everything changes tomorrow.
Update #2: Restlessness seems to have descended on all of the Alliance. Read on . . .
Tiphaine took the opportunity to use up her nethershards, getting her two-hander the three Fels she needed to complete stage 6. Her gear score inched up to i704.
Keya took the time to buy three Coalesced Fels, completing her dual, stage six pair of warglaives. Her gear score inched up to i702.
Guess what? Javajoo has also saved up the Fels to reach stage 6 on her weapon, too. She raised her gear score to i702.
Don't forget me! Sista catches up with the rest. She, too, got a nice two-hander and paid for three Fels to reach stage 6. Her gear score rose to i702.
Rakta finds herself left behind, wondering what she could have done with a little more tiime. She is short three stages on her weapon and two stages on her shield. Gear is at i698 and only 137 shards to spend. What will she do?
Everything changes tomorrow.
Update #3: Actually, everything changes at the stroke of Midnight on the West Coast. Will it be Alliance or Horde who step into the world of Legion first?

Legion Countdown - Three Days to Go
Legion Countdown - Three Days to Go
The countdown to Legion is down to three days. As of 27 August there were three players that still needed to finish their preparations. Progress report:
(1) Jezzibael (JB) completed both the Kharazan and Dalaran episodes, becoming the first non-tank character to get it done. To put the icing on the cake, she also took on two invasions and raised her gear level from i649 to i687. She now meets all requirements for Legion.
(2) Phillypurdue had made no plans at all as of just a day ago. Her gear was a mess and, frankly, she wasn't sure she could remember how to be a shadow priest. Doing the Kharazan and Dalaran episodes along with the battlefield with the demons got her blood boiling. She is now ready with a gear level of i664.
(3) Wildshard should have been an easy fix. However, the patriarch of the Horde family has been "on vacation" for so long he had trouble finding his socks, much less locating his gear and preparing for battle. Wild retired as a balance spec druid and might have been content to stay that way. But Wild overheard Jocy asking JB to "keep an eye on Wild, he may need help getting through this." Later, when Wild learned that both horde and alliance families were going with tanking specs, Wild's stubborn streak came out. Soon, a terrible racket was heard in Wild's abode, drawing the attention of numerous onlookers wondering if something was dying in there. The subsequent ROAR had the crowd hastily falling back. Wild emerged in BEAR form.
Wild has largely been a healer throughout his career and exclusively healer in raids. For solo work he takes up the balance spec. One would have to go back to Wild's earliest days to find a time when Wild would don bear spec, primarily for seeking treasure in old dungeons. Beginning now, Wild is ready to take on the garb of a Guardian Druid. There's just one teeny tiny issue. Most of Wild's gear is +int gear, not the agility gear of a tanking druid.
Amazingly, that hurdle didn't seem to bother Wild. Wild completed all of the pre-requisites and then faced off in several invasions to prove he could not just survive, but thrive with a gear score of i669, even though six pieces of gear are still +int. Wild vows to fix that before Legion Launch.
The Last Word - Closing the Second Account
Bruiserbabe has the sad duty to initiate shutdown procedures for the second account. Here is the list of names one last time:
Bruiserbabe (70 death knight)
Merytophvy (60 hunter)
Hearnoevils (30 hunter)
Beanoevils (25 hunter)
Hapless (16 druid)
Mewgoogaipan (12 mage)
Whispersoul (12 warrior) and
Alwayslost (12 paladin)
Stay strong. Your time may come again one day.

Final Preparations. Be Ready!
Final Preparations. Be Ready!
Well, it's time to shift from invasions to completing a series of quests meant to prepare the world of Azeroth for Legion.
"The Legion Returns" begins the first leg of that process. By chance, Fist joins in the thread at "Protect the Home Front." She kills a dozen demons hidden among the common folk. There are both horde and alliance versions of this quest and the followup quests. The Alliance version takes place in Stormwind Keep and the Horde version takes place outside the gates of Orgimmar. She boards a flotilla of ships to the Broken Isles for a series of battles.
"City Under Siege" sends Fist for the first time to Dalaran, where she joins with Khadgar for a trip into the past at Kharazan. This is where we learn about the five artifacts hidden in the Broken Isles and the importance of finding them.
"Calling of the Council" explains the rift between Khadgar and Jaina, who hates the horde and refuses to ally with them and Khadgar, which includes a couple of easy quests in Dalaran.
"Author Author" is the last in the quest thread. Fist learns that more preparations are needed and to "be ready" when the time comes. End of thread. At least that's how Fist did it. For the full list of quests, see below:
The Legion Returns
To Be Prepared
The Battle for Broken Shore
The Fallen Lion
Demons Among Us
Illidari Allies
Calling the Council
The Diamond King
Hiding in the Stacks
City Under Siege
Anomalous Anomalies
Author! Author!
In the Blink of an Eye (Not available until Legion release)
Now, everyone who intends to participate in Legion had better get those quests done.
Jocelyne and Plumrosefist, who took the first shot at the quests, have completed the thread. They are ready for Legion, completing the horde series of quests outside the gates of Orgrimmar.
Tiphaine is the first alliance to take the plunge. The Dalaran portal is in Stormwind Keep. Go straight into the Keep and take the first left. The Dalaran portal is in that room. Now all that needs doing is getting everyone through the experience. Line 'em up! Mahakeya is done now. And Javajoo. Now Rakta has finished. Sista got in on the act, too.
That just leaves the hard cases. Three players have yet to complete the process:
(1) Jezi is ready to start "Protect the Homeland."
(2) Wildshard is farther behind, still sitting on the quest, "The Legion Returns"
(3) Philly also needs "The Legion Returns." She still has to clean up her gear and fix a number of problems before she'll be ready.

Mounting Fatigue Surrounds Invasions
Mounting Fatigue Surrounds Invasions
The energy and excitement of battling invading demons is beginning to wear thin. Bruiserbabe has achieved her primary goal of reaching Level 70, and the family Boost is now secure and available to either account when a decision is made how to use it.
Fist hopes to see some additional time in the trenches as well, but the endless battles for what is becoming minimal gain is turning off many in the family.
Even Keya, with 500 nethershards to spend, may decide to cut her invasions short and buy the three Coalesced Fels she needs to max her pair of stage six weapons, take a well deserved break, buy one more gear upgrade, and wait on Legion.
Jocelyne spent a ton of nethershards as the first to tackle the invasions after Keya's arrival. She still has 191 shards, 150 of which will go to buying the account bound Felbat Pup Companion for all of the family to share.
Sista still has some work to do, being one step short (i699) of reaching i700. She has 309 nethershards, enough to get her Fel Barbed Spear to stage 5, and will keep running invasions until she gets that sixth stage.
It may be "an invasion too far" for Rakta, however. She has only 100 nethershards, which will help with two pieces of gear, but sits at i698. Another hurdle is her Fel Hacker, which is only at stage 3. Less than a week remains.
Javajoo has done well in getting her gear to i701, but is also coming up a bit short with her Fel Hacker at stage 3. She needs a couple of invasions to get her nethershards over 300 so she can buy her way to stage 5. After that she needs some luck to get a Coalesced Fel to drop to max her weapon. She could really use a ring upgrade as well (i650 baleful) but gathering another 50 nethershards to bump it up to i700 could be a challenge.
Tiphaine has been so busy keeping track of the rest of the family she forgot to check on her own needs. Her overall gear level at i703 is fine, but not so her Fel Lord's Warmace, which is only at stage 3. However, with 491 nethershards, she can buy the three Coalesced Fels she needs to max out her weapon.
Then there are those who simply aren't going to be fully prepared come Legion.
Fist is one of them, buried at i676.
Wildshard took a complete pass on the invasions, standing pat at i655.
Phillypurdue also took a pass at i653.
Shaman Jezzibael once had hopes of being the first non-tank family member to participate in the invasions, but that plan never came to fruition. Jezzi remains mired at gear level i626.
However, in a rare meeting between the two leaders, Tiphaine and Jocelyne both agreed that if possible each of the above family members would get a chance to take the boat to the Broken Isles and participate in at least one invasion. Time is running out to make that happen.
Each member will have to make their own decision about when to accept and use the quest "City Under Siege" which takes place on the floating city of Dalaran and is a must do quest to get access to Legion.

A Short Return of the Horde Tea Green Guild
A Short Return of the Horde Tea Green Guild
For those who have almost forgotten, there is another family on the second account that has seen hard times. The names: Bruiserbabe (63 death knight), Merytophvy (60 hunter), Hearnoevils (30 hunter), Beanoevils (25 hunter), Hapless (16 druid), Mewgoogaipan (12 mage), Whispersoul (12 warrior), and Alwayslost (12 paladin)
With the approach of Legion, a decision had to be made whether to return them to the shadowy depths of Draenor and falling an expansion behind or bring them into the light, if only for a brief time.
The senior player, Bruiserbabe (BB), made her case to join in the battle against the demons. At stake is a level 100 Boost that might one day be in jeopardy if not taken now. However, there is a complication. To grant the Boost, there must be at least one player at level 70.
Bruiserbabe took the job of leveling to 70 exclusively through invasions. In her first day of work her modest level of 63 didn't seem to slow her down in any way. In fact, she took a very aggressive attitude, attacking at will anything and everything that came at her. She is now level 68 and has six small chests and six large chests. Her immediate goal is to reach level 70, but there will also be an interesting decision to make once she reaches that goal.
The plan is that once the Boost is available, the first new demon hunter will be born to the Horde side of the family.
Bruiserbabe is making a case, however, to take that boost herself, along with all those chests she's been saving up. If she doesn't use the boost herself, those chests are only worth whatever level BB reaches. If she stays at level 70, those chests will be worth only level 70 type gear.
Can BB hold those chests even into Legion, and still use them if/when she decides to level further? So far I haven't found anything conclusive that the chests are still valid past level 100, although there are rumors they'll be good up until level 109 (ie, at level 109 she would get level 109 gear from the chests). If that's wrong, though, no one really knows what happens to those chests. Still usable at level 100, or become useless? So far no one has an answer to that question. I guess we'll find out on August 31st.
In other news, Plumrosefist began her embarkation to ilevel 700: She is the last in the family of hybrid tanks as a Brewmaster Monk. She's also Tiphaine's daughter, and did not make the transition to the Alliance as her mother did. Make of that what you will.

For those who have almost forgotten, there is another family on the second account that has seen hard times. The names: Bruiserbabe (63 death knight), Merytophvy (60 hunter), Hearnoevils (30 hunter), Beanoevils (25 hunter), Hapless (16 druid), Mewgoogaipan (12 mage), Whispersoul (12 warrior), and Alwayslost (12 paladin)
With the approach of Legion, a decision had to be made whether to return them to the shadowy depths of Draenor and falling an expansion behind or bring them into the light, if only for a brief time.
