Gear for Bzak? In Karazhan? No way...

It's been so long since I've seen a drop for Bzak in Karazhan that I have been starting to think all the Hunter loot has migrated south for the winter. I don't know what's been colder, the temperature outside or the shoulder I've been given in Karazhan.

Tonight...with urging from Juju to help out with Team Whiskers' Karazhan run...I took Bzak in.

Attumen...nothing

Moroes...nothing

Maiden...nothing...I already have better than the Gloves of the Quickening

Opera Event: Wizard of Oz...noth...OH MY GOD! A HUNTER DROP! Yes, Legacy finally dropped. I gasped out loud and I hope that no one on Vent was able to hear me. Luckily, no one wanted it and I got it! Putting a +35 Agility enchant on this trumps the Sonic Spear that I have been using since forever.

Nightbane...noth...OH MY GOD! MORE HUNTER DROPS!!! One shotting Nightbane should have been good enough, but he ended up dropping the Scaled Breastplate of Carnage and the Ferocious Swift-Kickers...both serious upgrades for me. We had a Shaman with us who hadn't gotten a drop yet so he chose the Breastplate and I happily took his leftovers. I'll put a +12 Agility enchant on these as soon as I can find someone to do it.

The Curator...bugged...we will give him a shot tomorrow...if he drops Garona's Signet Ring I may faint.

I also got enough badges to buy the Steadying Bracers which replace my last piece of Green gear, the awesome Goldenlink Bracers...I will miss them so.

To sum up the night?

One word: WoW

Leatherworking...almost

I'm getting to the point where I am almost ready to switch Bzak to Skinning/Leatherworking, but I have to get Agravane his epic flying mount first. The 5000g is such a pain to acquire and I refuse to sell out and buy gold, so with Bzak's Zapthrottle Mote Extractor and the Windy Clouds in Nagrands, I am slowly making my way there.

Once I hit the 5000g mark I will start Skinning and Leatherworking to take advantage of some of the really nice crafted armor pieces. My list includes:

Chest: Ebon Netherscale Breastplate
Wrist: Ebon Netherscale Bracers (To finally replace my last Green piece)
Waist: Ebon Netherscale Belt
Feet: Boots of the Crimson Hawk (So I can stop wearing Rogue Leather)

Also, the Quiver of a Thousand Feathers would be nice too.

So, as you can see, switching to Leatherworking would greatly benefit me. I would lose the quite smashing Surestrike Goggles v2.0, but to me the benefit far outweighs the loss.

Ok, back to farming...

I'm baaaaaaaack

A break certainly can do a world of good.

The funny thing is that the majority of the time I was gone, I really wanted to be playing WoW.

Getting back to my roots of a First Person Shoot (FPS) was interesting. Prior to playing WoW I played Battlefield 2142, Planetside, Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142, all FPS games. Not to toot my own horn, but I don't think I was half bad at them either.

But I am back. I may be playing my Paladin, Agravane, more often than Bzak, but Bzak is back for raiding with Team Whiskers starting next week.

A bit of a hiatus.

I've been mulling it over for the past couple weeks and have decided to take a slight break from Bzak, WoW and this blog.

Nothing fancy or major, just a general feeling of burnout and the need to get away from it all for a little while.

I picked up Call of Duty:4 with some leftover Christmas money, so I'll be there for a little while.

To quote the Governor of California, "I'll be back."
