Well, I must say, in the time that I've returned to WoW, I've made more progress than in the majority of time prior to my burnout period. Between grinding to Exalted with Frostwolf in AV, ZG rep rewards, and MC pugging with Rapture, I've managed to obtain the following epics:
[The Lobotomizer][Don Julio's Band][Frostwolf Insignia Rank 6][Zandalar Madcap's Mantle][Nightslayer Bracelets][Nightslayer Gloves][Nightslayer Pants] And last night I did what is probably going to be our last pug with Rapture through MC, and not a single piece of my T1 dropped. I was bumming, until the Majordomo fight, when I rolled and won this:
[Core Hound Tooth] Winning that made up for an otherwise uneventful run. Apart from those, the rest of my gear is decent blues, either from ZG rep/quest rewards, or the remains of my Shadowcraft set that have yet to be replaced.
I also managed within the past few days to pull my unbuffed Fire Resistance from about 27 to 130. We'll be working on that as well.
Expansion comes out January 16th, 2007. The more gear I have before then, the easier it will be to level in the Outlands, and the faster we'll get to getting our Tier 4 gear =D
