Level 1 twink.

Just for fun I decided to create a level 1 character with good gear and enchants, whilst still remaining at level 1. I decided upon an orc rogue, due to melee classes making better level 1 ‘twinks’ and an orc as I thought the racial ability of Blood Fury would be nice. I actually did not put the best possible enchants on my rogues gear as I wanted to keep the cost down a little, as it worked out I spent over 250 gold on enchants etc! I’ve ended up with 735 health and 18% crit chance.
I’ve been able to duel level 12 horde’s and beat them just about. Anything below level 10 goes down  very quick, I duelled a level 8 this evening when I took the screenshot showing the health, I beat him in 3 shots - 2 x sinister strikes and 1 x eviscerate!

I put fiery enchant on my sword and even took a trip to westfall (assisted by my warlock Dirky and my son Bbcone) to get the [Red Defias Mask] , which drops off the Defias mobs in this area, eventually! It does not give any stats but looks cool. However by the end of this trip I was about 5 bars of reaching level 2 !.

Doom Lord Kazzak down.

Last night was not really a regular raid, we decided to attempt a world boss. We gathered in Hellfire Peninsula for Doom Lord Kazzak who hangs about just over the hill at the back of Thrallmar.
Once we cleared the mobs which are all over this area now due to the daily quests which are popular here we started the encounter. The whole thing from start to finish lasts less than 2 minutes. If you dont manage to take him down in this time the enrages become too hard too survive, if any members die he heals himself for 150,000 hp!

We had a few failed attempts, one got kind of messy due to the mobs respawning after about 30 seconds! In my opinion this detracts from the encounter and makes it messy. I think this was a bad area for Blizzard to put all these mobs and daily quests. Anyway he eventually went down for what was the guilds first kill. I got 2 badges of justice, nothing else of interest dropped for Dirky :(

More Tier 5 loot?

Tier 5Surely not? Well yes actually. Last night it was the guilds Sunday night raid, which starts very early for me and usually I am unable to make it until later in the evening. However I logged on earlier than normal to send some items to my bank/auction-house character, not expecting to get in to the raid and immediately got an invite! I was in two minds whether to turn it down or not, as I still had things to do outside of WoW! Anway I accepted and was summoned to Leotheras the Blind in SSC.

He went down first attempt and to our surprise and many peoples dismay, he dropped 3 of the same tokens! Only 3 rolled for them and I was one of the lucky 3 to get some shiny new Tier 5 [Gloves of the Corruptor]. So this takes my Tier 5 items to 3 now, the hardest 2 remain though! The last 2 items from Lady Vashj and Kael’thas Sunstrider will be much harder to obtain I am sure :)

Onyxia here we come!

OnyxiaWell not as impressive as it used to sound before The Burning Crusade came out I am sure but still it was a fun quest line. I’m now attuned to Onyxia’s Lair. With the help of my son Bbcone, friends Truot, Grizeldorg and Tayn, with a smattering of guild members here and there, I now have the [Drakefire Amulet] which allows me entry to the large caves that Onyxia resides in. The quest chain is about 15 quests long, entails a lot of running around killing some big dragons and a few runs in Upper Blackrock Spire. Not sure when we will attempt to take down Onyxia but at least I will be able to join in the fun next time it happens.
