Hey folks!

Thanks so much for the responses to my last post, asking for information about which of my posts I should bring into the main navigations of the site! Great information, and lots for me to work from. I’m deeply greatful for the feedback :)

What Have I Been Doing?

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been working on some more WoW videos, and I got 12 or 13 of them done! Mainly, they’re about making money on World of Warcraft right from a low level, and truthfully they’re meant to get more eyeballs considering the purchase of my very own World of Warcraft Gold Guide which I’ve named “Wealth On Warcraft” and links from this site.

With my third toon edging up to 70 and me being a mere 400g shy of the money I need to buy her regular, and then her epic flyer (which of course the other two 70s already have), I figured I have something to say about how to earn cash on the game, even if it’s not the standard Gold Guide of “go here, do this”. It’s kind of scary to put myself out there like this, but at the same time it feels somewhat right to take a chance on :)

I will be posting the videos over the next while after my brother comes to visit near the end of this month, and I’ll link them from here as they release (not all at once, although I might start with a release of 3 at once).

If you’d like to subscribe to my series of email based off of this Guide, in the first sidebar there’s a link to where you can sign up for free.

At any rate, I don’t really like to self-promote on my blog which is for my own fun and creative release, so let’s move on, shall we?

Healing Priest Approaching 70

Game-wise, I’ve been working on my Healing Priest. She’s been advancing level-wise mainly through instance runs - sometimes with friends also leveling second or third alts to 70, but mainly just hopping into the LFG tool and going with random groups.

I’ll get back to the LFG experiences soon, but I’ll finish with a wee summary of what’s been going on, then get into the meat of the subjects in more postings.

At 64, I started my trek towards a gearing goal I had set for myself, by making the Primal Mooncloth Belt. At 65 I made the Primal Mooncloth Shoulders, and after a few frustrating PUG experiences, I cooled it on the PUGs for a bit and turned my attention to something different - Battlegrounds.

Fortunately for me, Season 4 of Arena fell right at a time when I needed it - sort of. I mean, it meant that Season 2 gear opened up to those of us slummin’ it in the Battlegrounds, and there was a new level of gear I could pick up without it “going bad” so to speak, so quickly.

So, while my computer was importing or exporting video stuffs, I battlegrounded, hitting all of them: Alterac Valley, Eye of the Storm, Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin. I ran around in my completely-NOT PvP gear (ie: zero resiliance) and healed my Undead butt off, and had a great time of it.

Even at 65, most of the time I was #1 on the healing charts, although that’s easy enough to do just by following the wrong crowd in WSG, so I won’t continue to brag on that part. I’ll write more about my thoughts on that another time, tho.

In the end, I’ve now gotten enough honor and tokens to buy the four PvP Season 2 Arena epics that will tide me over until I start getting some Heroics badges at 70:

Merciless Gladiator's Mooncloth Leggings
Merciless Gladiator's Mooncloth Gloves
Merciless Gladiator's Mooncloth Hood
Merciless Gladiator's Salvation

Once I got those done, I bit the bullet and advanced my tailoring from 366 to 375 making Imbued Netherweave Robes (which I then disenchanted for enchanting mats), and then I crafted my Primal Mooncloth Robe.

I’ve gemmed all my gear with Green-quality gems so they’re not socketally empty, and will worry about upgrading them once I can wear them.

My Plan At 70

I will probably ding 70 in an instance, as is the way of a Healing Priest PUGger, so I’m going to bring my gearset with me and hopefully be able to record a video (and not have it cut out as it sometimes does) of me dinging 70 and putting on a whole new set of gear.

Then, when I exit the instance I’ll make a bee-line for Shadowmoon Valley to buy my regular, and my epic flyer.

I’ve decided on the Swift Red Windrider for this one, and I’m not sure if I’ll go for a different flying mount or land mount quite yet.

But, I’ve already made the trek to Shadowmoon Valley to get the flight point…

I’ve got the gear, and mostly all the money… now it’s time to PUG my way to 70 and put this stuff on and see what the numbers tell me!

Where do they come from?

Why are they here?

Who sent them?

Can Engineers extract motes from them?

Arcane Vortex - Netherstorm

I found this cloud-like thing in Netherstorm when I was farming for Mote of Mana for my Primal Mooncloth cloth transmute - I thought initially it was just another mote-extraction cloud waiting to be captured, but it behaved differently than the ones I’ve seen in Nagrand - this one would recharge my mana in little bits when I was close to it - multiple times a second, too.

So, I hung around it and had my pet do the scouting out of the Phase Hunters I was downing.

The cloud stayed there as long as I did (about an hour), and while it seemed to move a little bit, it never really did move very far, which made me wonder if it had spawned there instead of wandering there as I had originally suspected it had.

I’d never seen this kind of cloud in this place, and haven’t seen it again. Does anyone know if it’s one of those Mote Extraction clouds waiting to be extracted, or not? :)
