Mend Pet

Yes, Gnome Mage, to be precise!

I started this character shortly after the Burning Crusade.  I have a horrible memory, and I’m not sure why I wasn’t leveling my hunter at this time, but I spent the first couple months of BC leveling an alt, and it wasn’t even one of the new races.

Her name was Pixxel, and she had firey red pigtails and burning red eyes.  Fire burned deep down in her tiny soul.  Pyroblasts and Fireballs were all she needed to have a good day.

My hunter was the only other character I’d gotten past about level 20 at this point in my game history, and I’d leveled her completely with another person.  This was my first solo character, and she was a lot of fun!

However, I eventually decided to go back and finish the grind from 60-70 on my Hunter.

Then I found Unemployed.  And I fell in love with the people in my guild.

And then I played Ferguson.  And I fell in love with healing.

And then I met a Dwarf Hunter.  And… well, that was that.

I thought it’d be nice to play on his server with him, and I remembered little Pixxel!  She was sitting pretty at level 45 on Ysondre, untouched for over a year.  So I transferred her over, and renamed her, because I am too used to being called Brajana now.

It was a hectic process, going from being used to playing a class with a shield or a pet-shield, and there was a lot of dying from 45-47 or so while I tried to re-learn how to play and figure out optimal key bindings, but it was worth it!  50-58 has gone so smoothly, I feel like such an agile little mage.  Pyro! Fireball!  Fireblast!  Blast Wave!  Loot!

Anyway, that’s my quick little story of my new (or not-so-new) mage, Brajana.  I’m sure I’ll write about her again as she ventures her way to level 70!

Hi!

So I thought I’d give a bit of an update.  To be completely honest, I had a post all written up about what I’ve been doing since 3.0.2 hit, but I keep forgetting to insert the screenshots I want in it, and so it’s been sitting around waiting for the longest time.

So here’s the quick version.  I plan to elaborate on most of these topics in independent posts, but here’s an overview of what’s goin’ on.

New pets!  Woo!

I am loving the new pet changes.  I can hardly even contain myself about how much I love being a hunter right now!

I’ve picked up a Moth, just like I said I would.  His name is Ambrose, and he’s purpley and flappy and a darn good Ferocity-tank.

I’ve also picked up a Gorilla, who still needs a name.  He’s the Unk’loc skin though, and I spent two whole days waiting for him to spawn.  But that’s another story for another post!

The hunters of Unemployed have picked up Orange MC Core Hounds.  They’re pretty nifty, but mine is remaining in the stable until they get rid of the screen shaking.  While it’s true that if you are the hunter with the stampy pet, it doesn’t affect the screen nearly as much, I feel for the other players and won’t subject them to that.

Spellpower Changes?

Okay, Ferguson has nearly retired until the expansion comes out.  But I did log on to check out the spellpower changes to his gear, and between my Shadow set and my Healing set, I’ve formed a super set of spell power gear.  Just one set of gear.  It’s pretty nice.

Achievements…

are fun!  But I am not nearly as dedicated to them as some people I know (points at Boostah).  I haven’t gotten any new titles yet.  More on the achievements later.

Alts-ahoy!

I’ve been spending quite a bit of time leveling a couple of alts.  I resurrected my level 45 Gnome Mage and transferred her to my boyfriend’s main server, which is a PvP server.  How it remind me why I left that type of server in the first place!  But I’ve gotten her to 55 with little problems, and I am enjoying setting things on Fire.  Although Fire Mages have very little to do with healing or huntering, I’ll probably write something up about playing a new class.

I also spend a very significant portion of yesterday playing a new character.  It’s a hunter.  There’s a bit of a story behind how I ended up starting a second hunter, and I’ll get into that in another post, I’ll introduce him formally.  He’s cute, I think you’ll like him!

Unemployed’s Second Annual Hallow’s End Costume Contest!

Last night, we took a break from the zombies and everyone dressed up and met in Brill.  We had a blast, and some of the costumes were amazingly creative!  Way to go, Unemployed!  Mine was about as second-hand as you can get, but I still had fun.  Screenshots inc, I promise!

Well.  It looks like I’ve got quite the load of posts to work on.  You don’t even want to know how much stuff I’ve had going on IRL lately, to boot.  Busy, busy, busy!
