Finally at level 46 dwarfenstuff now has a wicked cool white ram to ride on.

Since I’m not a melee class, I am whiney about not being able to shoot my gun from my mount (I have shots that I can shoot while moving).  Alas, to “balance” the game.. I don’t get to.  However, this only pulls like 1% of my happiness in getting a mount away from just being WOO HOO!

I hit level 47 last night, and it is now time to take PvP more seriously.  I may revert to doing just that and farming leather in tanaris so I can up my leather working skill so I can make a scorpid helm/scorpid leggings.  I tried PvP last night for the first time with a mount.  Well it still sucked since lvl 49 warrior seems to just annihilate me in a few hits.  However, I managed to lead my team to a crushing defeat in points, but I had more kills/damage done to the enemy than everyone on my team.. and all but 3 on the other team (apparently that 49 warrior served up more than just my dwarven booty).

Anyway.. Mounted.. WOOT!  Now to make some armor and then forget I have leatherworking and only stock up on leather then make a ton of crap for AH.  If I want to get that dragon mount in outland, I gotta save my pennies now.  I imagine I will have to pay to train for I think apprentice riding/expert riding/artisan riding to get on the goofy thing.. I think thats got a total in the neighborhood of about 6000g or so.  Realistically, I doubt I play that long.  I had many thoughts of ditching the game when I couldn’t get my regular mount which was only 100g.

My thoughts are, armor wise.. I’ll be good for a while.  I think the only real upgrade of any importance from tough scorpid armor is black dragonscale.. and I think you gotta be at least late 50’s to wear it.  That just leaves weapons.  A guildy is going to give me a thorium rifle to shoot with and I imagine I could find an axe or sword to hack with up close and personal like in a quest or something.  I have another guildy that is a weaponsmith, so maybe he’s the answer to that question.  But things of any real consequence in this game seem to require a buttload of ingredients.  I may just stick with what I got till past 50 and get my thorium rifle.  And see what happens in instances I try to get into for a decent set of 1h’ers (ravager seems pretty good to me still)  Eventually I want grimlocks charge (its a polearm, so something new to me) and that would last me a while..has good agility bonus to it.

oh well.. only time will tel
