A week ago, a guild team headed back into Blackrock Depths to help a few of us at the 52-56 range get some quick experience and hopefully a bit of new gear here and there as well. We had scheduled the run far enough in advance that a few of us were able to prepare for the run by completing quest chains that lead to BRD quests, and when we went in, I think I went in with 8 quests to complete, and by the time we left, 6 of them were done, with my guildmates also having completed at least 4-5 each.

I picked up a couple of new pieces during the run, but the nicest one was my Mage’s first epic piece (soon to be replaced in Outlands) - the Circle of Flame which came from Ambassador Flamelash, a boss who could be skipped without one even being aware of it since it’s not required to go past this guy to get to anything else.

Now, I’ve got a mere two quests in my book for Blackrock Depths, and I’m satisfied that I’ve wrung some good experience out of the dungeon. I might go in again in a PUG as a good way to spend rest bonus, but right now my Mage is sitting at level 59 with 9.7% rest bonus left, so I’m thinking it would be good to park him in a city for a week and let him rest.
