My Hunter was my very first toon ever created on World of Warcraft, and bears a name I’ve used online for years in various capacities and has become my online pen name. Many people on the game still call me “Val” no matter what toon I’m on. Valdesta was born during the Winter’s Veil Festival in World of Warcraft, late in the year of 2005.

My hunter is the one featured fishing on this blog - with a guildmate warlock buddy who has way better gear than I do on my Hunter :)

Before the expansion pack came out, she hit 60 at the end of May 2006. By the time the expansion hit, I knew this Hunter wasn’t my priority, so it took her until September 2007 to hit 70 having done ZERO outland dungeons and only a small number of Outland group quests. She soloed from 60 to 70, never running out of quests but completely not worrying about “reputation grinding”.

This toon was never really destined for much, but gets some time here and there and has acheived some useful milestones.

Reputation Standings - Outland

I was originally going to list the non-standard recipes I have for Enchanting, but I really don’t have many that are worth mentioning, and the process was looking more tedious than I wanted to deal with for a blog post.

So, instead, you get a summary of my Reputation levels:

Reputation Maxed At Exalted

Frostwolf Clan (Alterac Valley battleground)
Netherwing

Reputation At Revered

Nobody in Outland!

Reputation At Honored

Outland Keys Obtained

Heroics Keys:

• Reservoir Key

Other Keys/Parts:

• The Master's Key (Karazhan entry)
• Shattered Halls Key
• Top Shard of the Arcatraz Key

Current Gearing

Gear is what I expect will start to change on this toon more than anything else - if there’s a second Karazhan group that goes through in a week and my Mage is already tied up in a RaidID, then I go along with Valdesta instead.

Goals For The Future Of This Toon

This toon is still mainly a “farming” toon. When I don’t have much time to actually play, I may log into this toon to fly around on my Netherdrake and pick herbs for a little while. I much prefer getting my own materials for the endless stream of Super Mana Potions I go through on my Mage during raid nights!

That being said, I don’t expect to do a lot with her because I’ll use my Mage as a priority in raids and Heroics, and I’m advancing my Priest and Rogue to get to level cap before the expansion hits… whenver that is!
