There's enough time in the day to work and play FFXI.

There is not enough time in the day to work and play FFXI and play WoW.

My plan to do a mission race and a money race each day fails as of today -- Monday! My first work day of the plan! How not surprising! :P

I guess I'll plan on doing the mission race once per day, and the money race as I can... at least until I beat this final mission race, then I can concentrate on money races. 50 bucks per mission race attempt, 80 per money race. Many, many, many hours of so-called "free" races to make them. :/

PS: I really hate the new economy.

Thanks to this morning's September update teaser info, I'm trying to sell all my capped crap now, before the market crashes on low level stuff. That haubergeon and one sniper's ring are the two big-ticket items, have one more sniper's on the AH waiting to move. About 40 other assorted capped things, mostly DRK capped for CoP crap. I've freed up half of a mule! Yay!

WoW: I forgot the other thing I wanted to do at 40! I had read you could solo the WC instance thingie at 40, so I tried that out! I bet it would have been safer at quite a bit lower level, it was silly-easy at 40. I found and beat four of the five bosses (couldn't find the fifth area at all, plus had to get going to catch Eco on FFXI), and got each one's "rare" drop. Too bad the darned things bind when you pick them up! Had to vendor them.

Know what WoW is really lacking in? Good maps. When you're in someplace like Wailing Caverns, what good is a map that shows you the whole outside zone with just a little " c " as WC's mouth? Things like cities need good maps, too.

Anyway! WC took a whole two hours, eek. I was expecting maybe an hour. And I walked out with so much stuff, it took me another hour to get it all AHed. Heehee. I felt bad dropping things and leaving things un-looted (usually I take everything and just vendor the crap), but I needed room for the better stuff.

Email: I think my work network is now blocking just my email and control panel (site management stuff) on catlove. o.O Just the areas I have to log in to, I can still see the webpages just fine. If that's the case, I'm going to have to switch to gmail as my primary account. :/

I'll be replying to LJ comments once I'm done posting this. Usually I reply to them from work, so I'm a bit late today. Sorry! <3

Didn't you say you had Cartographer? If you do, go to the map, and at the top in the middle will be a read bar. Click that, go to Instances, choose which continent you're on (Kalimdor for WC), and click Wailing Caverns. =p

It's a bit of a pain to do it each time, but at least there's something.

Oh, just scrolled down and saw you had to disable it to make the one thing work. I can't help with much on that, the one I use and Cartographer work together. XD

Hehe, my Shadow Priest recently hit 44 and I've been trying to solo through Blackfathom Depths to finish off 2 quests I've had in my log forever for Darnassus rep (need more rep for my kitty mount x_x). I agree wholeheartedly about the map thing- so annoying (and the tiny radar map thing only helps so much).

WC is the low-level Horde instance right? Maybe I should go try to Alliance equivalent- I spent most of my guild pl'ing tailoring up a bit. x_x

That should read "gold" and not "guild". Duhr.

Yeah, it's one of the lowest ones. It turned out to be really, really good money. I was pretty bored doing it, but when I saw how much gold I had made, I was wanting to go back again. :D

Darnassus rep (need more rep for my kitty mount x_x)

*envy* I can only use one type of mount, no options on other races' mounts. But then I guess I'd smush them if I tried to ride one!

Hmmm, maybe I could switch back to that one when I want to do it. Thanks for the idea! :D

On Mounts~

I'm a Draenei, so I have one of those ugly effing elephants atm. -.-; As of last night I'm 11355/21000 for Darnassus, so only like ~10k more rep to go! x_x Doing every quest I possibly can that's ~40 or lower and gives Darnassus rep. Such a pain, I wish the pre-60 cloth turn in's were repeatable. D:

Oh god, those elephants are the only things worse than my mounts. I'm glad you're able to get something better! :D
