Well I am more than halfway through 55 as of last night.  I am pushing more and more desperately towards outlands.  Towards the piles of gold, and adventure I might have being in an area designed for my betters (I just kinda assume outlands has an expected character to be about 60, and I’ll go as soon as I can get my gnomish behind through the portal).

My gear is crap

So I am thinking I need to be “sup’d up” a bit before I go messin around with the bigger dogs in outlands.  My plan is, since I now have MOST of the mats for a robe (Robe of Winters Night) that I might finish my q’s in felwood and collect the last 4 felcloths I need to get the complete mats list for the robe.  At this point I should have a good robe/bracer/belt/gloves.  I am desperately wanting a good off hand to run into outlands with.  I purchased a dagger with great stats PLUS a damage increase for spells, so I figure if I can get an orb of whos-a-ma-whats-it that does the same, I’ll be doing great.

I found a blood elf in ungoro last night fighting above his level.. (preface:  I hate blood elves, I don’t know why, but I am a believer in wiping them out totally).  So I waited as he agro’d 3 flying dino’s and I cursed them with recklessness.. (LOL!!) and watched as he used everything he had to stay in it.  I sat down and jeered him.  (I know, I know.. mean).  He never died, but he came really close.  He spit on me a few times which I laughed off since I can take the devilsaur now solo.  Bout the only thing in Ungoro I can’t handle is the fire elemental (56 elite) in the cave in the center.  He has some SICK resist abilities.  I mean my shadowbolt hits (at level) around 600.. and he was taking hits for about 300.. so about half of my damage was negated.

I hate ungoro crater.. I hate morrowgrain, and the stupid soil that grows it.  BUT, as a skinner, this place is a gold mine.  I can see me in a few levels coming back to ungoro agro’ing the whole ape area into one spot and doing hellfire to clear the mobs (a few life siphons should keep it from being painful for me).  And then loot/skin like a madman.

I have heard, the money is in the AH.. buy low, sell high.  So far I just attack the AH with 12 stacks of leather and then reap in all the money I get in the end.  I miss out from the lack of engineering though I think.  I would REALLY like to have some grenades, and some of the other cool stuff.. (gnomish death ray!!).  But thats just life for right now, when I get a good enough pile of money, I’ll drop skinning and power through engineering to get all that I want.. Then pick skinning back up when I want the money again (its so easy to power through skinning if you have AoE stuff’s).  I am just 55, but haven’t seen any other AoE as powerful as hellfire.  Mage’s can run around, sure.. but I just don’t see the numbers there in big groups as with hellfire.  If I were to go nuts and get some fire gear, and equip a firestone to do it.. I am just saying.. it does relentless damage to people now, and I’m only buffed for shadow damage.  I’m thinking.. with a few healers.. i could solo zul farrak using fire dmg gear and hellfire.  Especially the temple “event” when you get mobbed by 900 people.. LOL.

I find myself wanting to be a leatherworker though.. and a tailor.   I think there isn’t enough spellthread, or that knothide/cobrahide armor stuff..  If its outthere people are keeping it QUIET!!  I saw runic spellthread (what I wanted more than anything for 49 PvP) in the AH last night.. guess how much??  250g (bid) 390 (buyout).  Imagine that?  I don’t know about spellthread but leather is the easiest thing on earth to come by.  I will probably level a tailor/skinner next.  I want a tailor/skinner cause.. well cause ppl drop cloth for tailoring, animals drop leather for skinners.  Then I’ll have most of the gathering prof’s down and can start MAKING stuff.  Mining/skinning (lock), skinning/tailoring(?).. Smithing/engineering(pally), tailoring/enchanting(mage)..

So now I wonder what toon should become what I want and be a tailor/skinner?  I am thinking maybe warrior, but that is a scary thought for me.  I LOVE watching a warrior run into an instance and be crazy and attack everything in the room, then balance aggro so we (clothies) don’t get killed.  It seems fun, but I doubt it is.  Maybe a hunter!!?!?!?  I miss my hunter so so so much.  He’s just for PvP now and I’ve invested a lot of gold in that endeavor too..  Willing to do more too, just need some items to show up in AH and its a done deal.

ah well.. back to grinding with the lock!
