Recruit a friend

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Have just recruited a work colleague into world of warcraft and there levelling at blistering speed, a lot faster than I levelled when I started to play, and we haven’t been taking up the advantage of the triple xp either.

But I now have a new mount but its a really hard decision to know which chracter to give it to.

Update 21/02/09: My friend/work colleague has now hit the dizzy heights of lvl 80, but sadly is finding it difficult to get into groups willing to accept him for instance runs as everyone so well equipt at the moment in world of warcraft, I think that once I have levelled up my mage that I too will experience the same problems no doubt.

Wrath of the Lich King

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Am really looking forward to the release of the new expansion Wrath of the lich king, so much so that I have cancelled my pre-order and I’m going to a 24 hour store at midnight to pick up my copy, sadly I’ll only have one full day to play due to work, but it’ll be overcrowded with people levelling anyway so probably a blessing in disquise.

Update: so much for getting my copy at midnight got there about 20 mins before and there was already a long queue, didn’t get to leave the store until 20 mins past midnight and sadly was empty handed had all been sold out.

Exhalted reputation grind

Monday, November 10th, 2008

This is a by no means what you must do to get exhalted with each of the outland factions, its just what I did and what i’d recommend to make it that little bit easier to get there.

Outland

Honor Hold

  1. Run Hellfire Ramparts and/or Blood Furnace on normal til they stop giving rep at the end of friendly.
  2. Start doing the quests in Hellfire Peninsula.

Cenarion Expedition

  1. Hand in 360x [Unidentified Plant Parts] for quest [Plants of Zangarmarsh], Run Slave Pens and/or Underbog til they stop giving rep at the end of friendly.
  2. Now is the best time to start doing the quests in Hellfire Peninsula, Zangarmarsh, Terokkar Forest, Blade’s Edge Mountains and Netherstorm. It is also the time to turn in any [Uncatalogued Species].
    • Finish leveling to 70 and run Steamvault.
    • There is a Repeatable Quest from the Steamvault to hand in [Coilfang Armaments].
    • Underbog runs; Hungarfen gives you 70 reputation. Swamplords and Giants are worth 7 reputation each.
    • You may also run Slave Pens, Underbog, and Steamvault on Heroic Mode once you are Honored. Regular mobs are worth 15 reputation, 2 for non-elites, and 150/250 for bosses.

Sporeggar *complete*

  1. Hand in [Bog Lord Tendril] til Neutral for quest [More Tendrils!].
  2. Travel to Sporeggar and get the following quests into your log but do not do them: [61] The Sporelings’ Plight, [64] Sporeggar (must be neutral)
  3. Get, and turn in, before you reach friendly (as once you hit friendly, you cannot turn it in for XP or gold): [64] Glowcap Mushrooms
  4. Return to Fahssn and continue doing the repeatable quest you chose until you cannot anymore at friendly.
  5. Kill any of the mobs that give rep (Bog Lords (and Withered, Starving, Hungry), Giants (Fungal, Withered, Starving Fungal)) if you plan to reach exalted. If not, skip this step.
  6. Turn in the 4 quests ([61] The Sporelings’ Plight, [64] Sporeggar, [64] Now That We’re Friends… (R), [65] Bring Me A Shrubbery! (R)) that you have not done yet.
  7. Other questing in Zangarmarsh and The Underbog will naturally push you into honored.
  8. After this all that is left is the repeatable quests to get you to exhalted: [64] Now That We’re Friends… (R), [64] Fertile Spores (R), [65] Bring Me A Shrubbery! (R)
