    I am a bad packrat

    My warlock has part .05 and dreadmist set { I am missing the pants} with the felheart set and the two pieces of nemsis I could get outside of BWL

    My Night elf rogue has all 3 sets Darkmantle Armor aka .05, Nightslayer, and Bloodfang sets with the daggers I used forever in raiding to remember all the drama and bs I put up with in that guild

    Hate: My whiny friend. Now that Blizzard has announced that Hunter pets will have talent trees in WotLK, he's on about how it's completely useless to learn new skills for the pets or level them.

    He does this every time something new is announced. If Blizzard suddenly said one year from now Feral Druids will be able to block, guarantee he would whine about how it's completely useless to play Feral anymore or get gear for them because one year from now you'd have to get new gear with block on it.

    Sometimes I just wanna slap him.

    Happy: my little horde shaman hit 59, and I figured it was probably time to pick up sticks and head to outland.

    Hate: I'd forgotten how annoying all the HFP mobs are at 59-60, especially given the gear I had as I moved there. I'm back to getting eaten alive by fucking boars, and too many of these early quests don't give me any gear.

    At least I'll be 60 soon.

    I feel your pain..... I used to be looking at a lvl a day w/out too much effort... now its total crap and It's taken me 4 days to get from 60 > 62.

    Try and get a high lvl guildy to help out. I'm lucky in that my mate has a lvl 70 rogue so is powering me through all my quests :P

    Man, Blizzard really fucked up by reducing the exp needed and increasing the exp reward of quests before 60.

    Yeah, we had a Hunter just like that. He would always find a way to complain, even about huge buffs to the Hunter class.

    Oh right, Happy: Hit 375 engineering yesterday and made myself the epic copter of doom. God I love this thing.

    Sad: That's now the fourth epic flying skill i've bought, 20k gold gone, and I'll probably only keep playing 1 or 2 of my characters. Oh well.

    Happy: got the T4 shoulders on my feral druid last night, putting me at 4 pieces. Also snagged enough badges to put me over 100, so I grabbed the badge legs as well. What's that? 74% physical mitigation? Big jump in HP? Hooray!

    Probably going to gem them for +hit though, as I'm down to 1%, and that just won't do, unless someone can explain to me why this would be an utterly retarded move. (with 2 dawnstones, a lionseye and a pyrestone, I can get up to 3% hit, which seems like a far better place to be now that my mitigation is approaching the cap, to improve my threat generation).

    Edit: that said, I was up until 1:30 am killing Mags and Gruul, and then spent another hour or so dicking around in Shat, getting my items and pondering gems and whatnot.

    So very, very tired.

    Happy: Hit 375 on mining the other day.
    Happy still: My felsteel bar auction sold... 200 gold get.
    Hope: With a 3 day weekend and it being AV weekend, Im hoping that I can find the guts and stamina to just hunker down and hammer out the rest of the honor pieces I want. I still need the:

    Bracers
    Belt
    Neck
    Ring
    2H Weapon (this is optional)

    The bracers aint shit, but that belt man... 17000 something honor. I think If I knock that out first I will be able to at least get a couple more items.

    I'll say this, when I didn't have a computer capable of keepting the distance plane all the way up, leveling in hellfire was horrible, horrible, and horrible. It'll tell you to go somewhere, and the only reason you knew where it was, was because you could see it from a distance. Well with the distance plane all the way down, you just wandered around like a jackass for 3 hours, until you finally stumbled upon it.

    EDIT: Also yeah, 20 to 60 or whatever fly by in no time now. So what used to seem like fast leveling in outlands, is now really slow compared to Azeroth leveling. I still hate Hellfire, and Zangarmarsh is my favorite zone in BC, so I'm looking forward to doing every quest there next. Maybe even farm up some sporegarr rep. :)

    When I was leveling and my guildie was leveling his alt, we completely cleared Hellfire, Zangramarsh and Nagrand to get to 70. That shit was grueling becuase we did EVERY quest, no matter how annoying. Nagrand was the worst.

    Heheh. I didn't go to any alt Kara last night but I did do seven Ahunes after the raid and subsequent Yet Another Serious Discussion About Sunmotes (through which I won the right to get Sunfire Handwraps crafted, yay). I was half asleep during the last two resets. Yet another night of not a single goddamn pet dropping. I can't believe they made the drop rate so horrible. Fucking dicks.

    If you went to HFP at level 58, that's perfectly expected. Go to Zangarmarsh. TBH, with the way Blizzard changed exp gains in Azeroth, I've been keeping alts out of Outland until 59.

    The only other thing I could advise would be to do Ramparts/Blood Furnace, if you for some reason didn't do the quests in there. Otherwise, pack your bags and head to Zangarmarsh.

    I went there as soon as I hit 58. I then did every single quest in HFP and that got me to 61 (including doing ramps once where I got some very nice drops and my guild boosted me through BF). That all got my about 3 quarters of the way through 61 and then I started on Zanga and I've done 5 quests to get me just over 62.

    Hoping I can start to get through 1/2 a lvl a day....

So usually I get home at about 5pm, sleep 'til midnight then stay up all night... Luckily though im on a late shift at the moment so I don't start work 'til 2pm ^^

    I tend to get around 5 or 6 a night during the week, I rationalize it though by getting 10 to 12 on the weekends. I loooove sleeping in.

    Happy: Getting reacquainted with my Priest. She's only level 22/23, but it's fun.
    I also enjoyed my first run as a Healer. The group was retarded, there was only 4 people and it was WC, the most terribly designed dungeon ever (Speaking on a pure "layout" stance).

    Not one death. And sometimes I'd even watch my friend play MGS3 (and laugh maniacally at The Pain shooting bees out of his mouth) and then turn around, max rank Heal the Druid back to full (when he was in Cat Form inexplicably...) and go back to MGS3.

    I wasn't even doing it to be a dick. I was just bored because no one seemed to need healing beyond maybe a Flash Heal or Renew.
