My friend, who I sent a trial key to recently (in order to get funky zhevra mount), has installed a retail copy of the game and created a toon on my server yesterday. :D His warlock's name is Pinkdrink - a female gnome with pink pigtails, like Yuge. Yuge and I both (seperately) went to meet him in the Dun Morogh starting area to show off our mounts and a whole heap of emotes. :P Later on I met up with him (he had moved on to Kharanos) to give him some gifts.. four netherweave bags and 50g. I'm not sure if he really appreciated the value of the bags and the gold, but I like helping out. :) I also later sent him a few low level crafted items - warlock appropriate tailored stuff and a couple of wands. He seems to be liking the game so far. He's used to playing EVE Online, so although he's familiar with MMORPGs, WoW is all new to him.. I've been giving him a lot of advice. I sort of can't wait to run him through VC. :3 I also can't wait for my zhevra mount! He will have to pay for 2 months of subscription time before I get it.. but I have sent him a 60 day prepaid card so it should happen soon. :)
I got an opportunity yesterday to take Panadoll through Caverns of Time - Durnholde and Black Morass. I was really nervous, because two of the best holy priests in Twelve, Lutzi (on his lock alt Fuzo) and Konstantine (on her druid alt Bahedrin) were in the group. So much pressure not to do anything stupid! >< Yuge tanked for us. We were all on Vent, which was interesting.. I haven't been on Vent in a 5-man before. It was pretty relaxed. :) Durnholde went well, but afterwards I discovered I hadn't talked to Thrall in the dungeon, and therefore didn't complete the quest chain to allow access to Black Morass. So embarrassing. >< Yuge, Lutzi and Konstantine were fine to go do Durnholde again but the mage (Magpie, also in Twelve) sounded kinda pissed off and said he had to leave, so we found a random rogue to join us.
Waiting outside Durnholde the second time around, with Yuge :P ~
The second time around went well also. It was a little difficult trying to keep an eye on healing Thrall as well as the others, but nothing I couldn't manage. Black Morass was something different altogether. Afterwards I said to Yuge "Why did nobody WARN me??" It was crazy. Constant running & chain pulling, constant need for heals and dispelling - on both the tank and druid off-tank. Lucky I brought lots of pots too cos I had mana issues a couple of times, even with innervates. But nobody died, so I think I did pretty well. :) And I think it was probably good practise for raid healing. I can't imagine what that instance must be like on heroic though. ><
In other news, Panadoll has finally started the artisan fishing quest. :P Gah I hate this quest so much. It's so boring.. and while I'm fishing I'm always standing there wondering how much gold I could be making if I was spending the time doing dailies. :P It shall be worth it when I can do fishing dailies though. :)
And to finish off this very long entry.. here are a couple of screenshots of Panacea being silly with random people..
