Wildswench and Happyface
To make a long story short, it all started and ended with Wildshard, now retired.
The "new" pairing now is between Wildswench and Happyface. Happyface is a latecomer who spent a large part of his life watching his gold grow. He has now realized his chances to earn even more gold by engaging in the new world of Zuldazar and it's various areas and opportunities.
Despite Happy's age (which he won't divulge), he has turned away from the gang of druids that ran things. Instead, Happyface has returned as a Warrior.
Happyface's progress began at level 60. He has been working steadily and has recently reached Level 64.
Compare that to Wildswench, at Level 82. It would seem that Wench has a staggering head start, but Happyface has a few tricks up his sleeve.
More to follow . . .

Going Rogue?
Wildswench is doing moderately well. She has reached Level 73 plus 58% and her overall ILevel gear is 414.
She could be doing better if she replaced her i310 ring with the i415 ring she has. That ring, however, is corrupted. She can still use it, and it would raise her score to i421, a significant boost.
BUT . . . The corrupted ring causes backlash and other damage. In other words, she must choose between safe usage of the normal ring versus the more powerful but unstable corrupted one. Wildswench will take damage much faster and die more quickly using the corrupted ring. Time will tell which serves her best.
On another front, the demon hunter Mahakeya is stirring from her retirement. She and Wildswench are on opposite sides of the endless war between the two factions. Still, Keya is arguing to earn time to improve Keya's skill. It may one day be needed. Or, from another angle, demon hunters are a lot of fun! There would be a long retraining process, but that would be part of the challenge. More to follow.

Wildswench Discovers the Power of Z'Noth
Wildswench Discovers the Power of Z'Noth
Continuance from prior post.
Wildswench was furious that she was being denied access to all that gold in the guild vault. She stomped away, swearing to get back at Jocelyn and Happyface.
Trouble soon followed. She found a ring. Or, more likely, the ring found her. It was clearly a powerful ring, level 415. Words came into her head. The ring is known as The Corruption. It gave Wench newly discovered power (50 corruption) to bedevil her enemies.
Wench quickly learned that the ring would be difficult to manage. Often, the ring caused worse things than improvements. No matter. Wench embraced it and persisted in doing everything she could to build on that madness.
Days later, Wench was heard working with the ring, learning its secrets. She also learned that the spells she cast could backfire. But that didn't stop her. She vowed to learn how to control the madness.

Re-telling an Old Story
Re-telling an Old Story
Every now and then the story of Wildshard and the complicated changes that brought about the woman "Wildswench" have to be dusted off and reviewed for relevance. The information is there in the records should anyone ever want to wade into that mess. Go with a fair warning.
Guild Stuff
The Order of the Dragon is the official guild of Happyface and Jocelyne. These two are the only ACTIVE characters with access to the gold coffers at present. Family squabbles over the years have driven most other guild members into sullen silence. Happyface and Jocelyne control the gold of the guild. The guild is prosperous' but there is much grouching at how little of that gold is allowed to be spent.
Now a new wrinkle has been brought to light. Wildswench is demanding that she receive fifty percent of all of the guild's gold, claiming that her former husband, Wildshard, owes her.
Wildswench is NOT a member of the guild, nor does she have access to guild funds. However, that hasn't stopped her from making trouble.
Wildswench is now demanding that she be given guild status under an old rule that allows married and "former couples" to automatically gain guild status. The courts will have to decide.
The rest of the guild, most of whom are retired, were stunned. Such a thing could undermine their own retirements. A petition was sent from the other guild members: Happyface, Jocelyne, Plumrosefist, Atkar, Pulsfyre, and Bruiserbabe. Another group of associates also weighed in - Narcissus, Erikred, Armarga, Seenoevil, Beanoevil, and Hapless. Nothing is firm.
The upheaval has MAJOR complications. Wildshard has decided to relinquish certain players from their duties and give them full permission to pursue whatever path they wish to take. This is being done due to the terrible decisions of the past that forced Pulsefyre and Atkar into work duties that they were not equipped to perform. That's a long story, but basically, they were forced to perform tasks they were not fit to handle; ie, forced to perform cloth making tasks.
Both Pulsefyre and Atkar have decided to retire in order that other opportunities can be given to those with more compatible strengths.
In their place, two more candidates with the specialties they need will be found: (1) Tailoring and Enchanting, and (2) Tailoring and Alchemy.
Then Wildswench butted in and demanded that she is taking Tailoring and Alchemy. That remains an issue.
Sadly, not all went well with the changes Wildshard hoped would end the bickering.
A day later Atkar was found dead in his room.
The Gods Weigh In - Atkar and Pulsefyre have been taken off the rolls - permanently. One new spot has yet to be claimed.

A Humming Azerite Heart
A Humming Azerite Heart
Wildswench stepped through several improvements on this round, bumping her gear levels from 45% to 65% to 75% and finally to 78% toward the next level.
Wench also added 500 valuable resources AND 4,000 gold!
Wildswench is an Alchemist and has struggled to find the materials and earn the requirements to move forward. At last, Wench finally completed the partial elements needed to capture the 10 razerwing eyes and ocular extracts needed. Progress is monumentally slow, but she is very happy for a full jump from level 150 to 151.
Heart / Neck now at 471
Item Level 416
69 AP
Pigsticker Weapon now i420

The 'Noth' Have Arrived
The 'Noth' Have Arrived
Warcraft has released another half-baked product that essentially replays the world of Uldum. Wildswench took a look at it - once she found the old, dying pyramid where most of the action is. Wench made it through about 90% and then things got too stupid to continue. Sigh.
Things then got even worse. For some unknown reason, Warcraft decided to make changes to the Auction House. This venerable business has been in place since the dawn of time. Some might say it arose even before there was a Warcraft. Anyway, the powers that be decided to dicker with it.
And of course, they broke it. There have been apologies but no fixes as of yet, assuming they ever fix it.
Now, as to the Noth, Wench intends to keep scratching her head and digging for info on how to make use of the thing. So far it's a bust.
This is an update about the Auction House. Here is what happened. What happened is that when the Auction House was updated all of the add-ons associated with it were dropped. So, what is there now is the vanilla version.
Wench has two choices. She can learn to use the vanilla version, or she can learn to install and use the add-on.

Merry Christmas for the Wildswench and family
Merry Christmas for the Wildswench and family. It's been an austere year for the most part. An aging Wildshard is having trouble remembering things now and has been persuaded to consider retirement. Though there is no announcement to that effect - so far.
Wildswench is jumping forward to the current state of play as follows:
Heart of Azeroth is now at Level 67
Heart Forge remains at 467
iLevel gear score is at 413
These are mostly modest steps forward.
An entirely new landmass has been discovered called Nazjatar. Most of that land has already been thoroughly explored. Wench has to acknowledge that she may never reach her full potential. She hasn't given up, yet, though.
For those few still hanging on, this blog will continue.
