Week #3 of World of Warcraft, Level 40


My third week playing WoW, I hit level 40! Finally as a hunter I can use mail armor. This week started with a BANG! Blizzard released the 4.0.1 patch and there was a LOT of changes. First of all, no more arrows/bullets to buy! Yes! Win! Also no more weapon skill level, another win! There were also some slight changes to interface which made it so much cleaner and class skills, I seemed to have loose a lot of them. At first a little bit confused but now very very happy.

I leveled 7 good levels this week, pretty happy how fast I'm going and at this rate I'm pretty sure I'll hit 80 before Cataclysm comes out. (I hope) Really that is my goal as I don't want to be behind others, I want to hit 85 as quick as I can and enjoying some end game content, raids etc. 



This week I finally completed the whole Scarlet Monastery and started Uldaman, by started I mean that I have already ran it like 6 times and am getting sick of it. Doing quests in SV and picking on some Alliance players (1 gnome) I earned my first honor point!! Moving off to Tanaris where by the looks of it I'm going to spend most of my time doing quests and grinding to level 50.

Here are just some random screenshots I took this week.

Week #2 of World of Warcraft, Level 33


Hi there, so this is my second week playing WoW. I haven't had too much time on it as I've been busy with work and other commitments and of coarse I chose to hang out with my girlfriend on the weekend instead of playing. At the moment I'm downloading Blizzard's huge 4.7gb patch which gives me some time to write the blog.

My second week started great, as you can see I finally got a mount and been cruising around with my sexy purple raptor. It took me a while to figure out that the mounts are actually cheaper then I originally thought so I could of got one last week too, yea.. pain! After running around with my raptor and when the excitement has started to fade I went to Thousand Needles and started to quest.


Finally hitting level 30 and earning another achievement I unlocked some Scarlet Monastery. I remember this instance very well from back in a day and am glad to be back. Starting with Graveyard, Moving to Library and Armory enjoying it and leveling thought it.

I guess to sum up the week, it's been alright, gained few levels however not sure if I'm going to hit 80 before the expansion comes out. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Week #1 of World of Warcraft, Level 27

Well it's been a week since I made my trial account and started playing World of Warcraft. I decided to make a Troll Hunter, heard good things about them and wanted something quick and fun to level with.

I leveled in and around Barrens and when I finally hit level 15 which was around Thursday night I started doing some instances. Love the new Dungeon Finder (new for those who haven't played since BC)and love how quick it is to get into any instance available for your level. Good one! Blizzard! Leveling from 15 to 20 was quick a little bit of quests and instances and Ding! I found myself at level 20.

Since I decided not to take any money or help from any of my friends I still don't have my mount and only around 9 gold in my pocket. I wouldn't say I'm struggling but it is definitely annoying to walk everywhere seeing other players on their Raptors and Wolfs riding past you waving Goodbye.

Twenties are fun, cooler and harder instances.. well for this level anyway. Loving the Blackfathom Deeps, Razorfen Kraul, lovely Stockades and who could of forgot about Gnomergan! Have to say sometimes, it does get boring to be a hunter in the instance. All we really do is stand back shoot our lovely arrows, occasionally some crowd control but really? Thats about it. Not really complaining as I'm writing this at the same time as doing an instance and blaming lagg for my delayed reactions... xD

In general, I've been having fun, walking around discovering new places (in game, how lame?) doing some instances and fishing.. yes I love fishing in WoW. I have never had a Horde character so it seem all new to me which is a good thing.
