WoW update
Dec. 26th, 2009 09:31 pmHow about in handy list form?
- Finished Oracles rep. Most miserable rep quests since Netherwings. All done though, so yay! Buying my eggs weekly.
- Christmas event: Surprisingly un-annoying. One day I'll recover from FFXI holiday events... Yay flying reindeer!
- Hit 75 pets and got the fawn pet. Yay no more collecting pets! (I'm surprised there isn't a 100 pet achievement though...)
- Finished Skyguard rep, got my freaky flying mount! Just bought one of the five (and the pet) since I was saving my money. Will be able to go back and buy the rest now.
- Did alchemy 1-440 in under an hour (42 minutes to be exact, and 7 of those minutes were time spent flying to trainers). Did 440-450 in the next day, slow only because I was saving my money.
Inventory at alchemy 1:

Alchemy 440:

I really would have thought it would have taken more mats than it did, but my spreadsheet was correct. (And boy do I love making spreadsheets for MMOs! :D ) (Edit: I should note I also spent 300-something gold on various vials. No need to pre-buy those, since they came from a vendor with unlimited supply.)
- Finished tailoring. 450, woot!
- Got a cool mount from jousting. Eee, cool and cute! Alas I still like my flying carpet better, so I generally use it.
- Lastly, what had I been saving my money for? Got my motorcycle! Woo! It took about a week to save the money, but at the same time I was finishing tailoring and doing all of alchemy, so that's why it took so long.
Oddly, there's a bug that happens when you have both the mammoth with NPCs mount and the motorcycle... One or both NPCs appear and hop on! That one doesn't look so bad, but when the second one is there he or she stands facing you or sometimes facing the same way. If it keeps happening I'll file a bug.
I'm happy to be done with the motorcycle, because it's boring to be focused on making money. Not hard, just boring. I currently have 858 gold even though I just got my bike, just from stuff that sold in the last hour or so.
