achievement week!
It's been a pretty fun week. :) There were no raids scheduled til Sunday (today) so I spent a lot of time neglecting dailies completely and working on achievements instead. I got my For The Alliance! achievement and black war bear mount early in the week, in a pug raid over several hours, and also got Wrath of the Alliance at the same time. As I mentioned in my last post I got some PvP achievements on that night I got a bit drunk, and a couple days later I went into AV with Yuge and got Damage Control (we went to a secluded area, and he kept removing his gear - cutting his health by half - and I just healed the crap out of him. :P) I went into WSG after that cos I wanted to get the daily I'd picked up ages ago out of my quest log (just needed the mark of honor). I managed to not just get the mark but also Capture the Flag. Disc priests make good flag carriers!
Mostly though, I've been working on Loremaster. I've got up to about 570/730 Kalimdor quests done so far. But when I passed by the furbolgs in Felwood, I thought "hmm, maybe I'll take a break and work on Diplomat instead!" It took me three days to do it. I started on the furbolg rep, (started from about 3000 through Honored, as I'd already handed in a shitload of beads when I was working on my Frostsaber). That took me the first day. The second day I worked on Kurenai, which took roughly the same amount of time, even though I started from about 2000 through Revered (I had been working on their rep pre-Wrath). And on the third day I did Sporeggar, which was the quickest - I started from about 500 through Revered (while levelling I ground up their rep in order to get a wand from them). Now I have The Diplomat and 10 Exalted Reputations, plus a talbuk and a tiny sporebat. :D Afterwards I flew over to Netherstorm, bought some of the exotic pets, and got Plethora of Pets :DDD
Today I went to a pug 25-man Naxx run (started by Twelvians) which was pretty fail.. I was only there for downing Gluth, and we wiped on Thaddius many times before it was called. Afterwards I went to Delusion's 10-man Naxx. It started in the late afternoon, aiming to clear as much as possible. The run went really, really well. Delusion has been heroic farming all week (personally I only went to one heroic - I don't like them much! I did get an epic upgrade to my wand though :D) and everyone is a lot better. This time I was last of the three healers on the heal metre most of the time (the other two are resto druids) - which is how it should be imo! We don't quite have Naxx on "farm" status yet (except for, perhaps, the Arachnid quarter) but it was still a lot easier, with minimal wipes. We managed to clear Arachnid, Plague and Construct quarters by around 10:30pm. :D Tomorrow we're going back at 7:30 to work on Military, which a lot of the group has not seen before. As such it will probably take us a little longer, but I'm looking forward to it. We might even get up to Sapphi! ^_^
I've decided my favourite boss in Naxx is now Heigan. xD I am loving the Safety Dance, now that I know how to do it. Someone in the raid discovered a "safe area" bug thing though, so I found myself the only one actually doing the dance, while the rest of the raid hid in a corner. >< I've been wanting to fraps Heigan (not sure if I can, cos I lag horribly whenever I try to turn on fraps in that fight for some reason) and make a video putting it to Safety Dance (a song which has been stuck in my head badly lately) but if people are going to cheat and hide in the corner.. bah! lol. We didn't even get the Safety Dance achievement despite their cheating ways.. next time gadget. xD I tried to play Safety Dance on vent when we got there, but it didn't work well.. I just held my mic up to my headphones, and it didn't come through well apparently. :P
I decided to change Panadoll's hair. I don't change it often, as I don't really like the idea of changing her much from how I rolled her - she just wouldn't be Panadoll. :PP I probably won't ever change her facial markings. But yeh, I decided to go back to her original style and a lighter blue (her first colour change). I think it looks pretty cute. :3
