Loremaster! 10/11

Somehow, in the midst of being super busy with that other thing called life, I didn't update this blog with a screenshot commemorating my Loremaster title last week! Anyway, I'm happy to bring it here now, after post-patch mania. In a strange twist of events, Mitter logged out on Monday with 31k mana unbuffed, and now with the mysticism etc, she has 42k unbuffed. This is a bit ridiculous. :)

The Seeker

And so finally, after many long nights of questing, Mitternacht has earned the title the Seeker! Yay! I am about to go to bed, but I wanted to post this quick thing...

I have 21 quests in Icecrown and 197 quests in Kalimdor, bringing a total of 114 left to be completed for Loremaster. Omg, I can't wait to be done. This is totally not something I will do twice. May I never, ever switch mains.

On Edge

I really hate the Blade's Edge Mountains. I have five more quests and I can't seem to find any that do not require 35 Apexis Shards. I also seem to be killing a ridiculously large amount of ogres that, really, are all neutral to me.

I feel like there's some plot afoot. These seemingly peaceful ogres are being treated like the bloodthirsty savages. Really, it's a bit unfair...

The Return, along with a new UI

I've been around, doing mostly real life things, like finishing up school for the semester, doing seasonal work at Disney World, and starting my new internship at a ad agency. So, I went to log on today and discovered something really strange. My Blogger AND my Youtube accounts are both being moved over to associate with my Google account. So I had a helluva time getting back into this, so much so that I was contemplating just moving it and reposting everything somewhere else! Anyway, I'm here now.

Been working on Loremaster of Outland, did Zangarmarsh and Hellfire Peninsula yesterday. Working on Nagrand and something else today. Pretty standard stuff there.

A couple weeks ago I got fed up with my crazy old UI and started looking for something else. What encouraged me to do this was actually watching TankSpot's 10m Sindragosa strategy video with Mouse and he kept commenting how he really liked the girl's UI, which got me on the hunt to actually try to do it. With the help of Google, I actually found this addon pack at WoWInterface that contained everything you'd need to replicate Aliena's UI.

I spent about four hours just that night trying to make it look right, almost losing my WTF folder in the process. The next day weird shit wouldn't work. I couldn't get invited to groups, and my BGs wouldn't proc for me. I still can't Need/Greed/DE loot, which I just haven't had the energy to fix, although it looks great. There are a few things that need to be tidied up, like the Cooldowns v. DBM's warnings, all of which I will get to....eventually.

Why are images not working the way they did before? *sigh*

Loremaster

I've been quiet on the WoW front for the past couple weeks with all the final projects I'm working on for school. Not that I haven't, however, been playing WoW. In fact, I've been working on Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms, crawling through the 700 quests. I'm currently sitting in the Grim Guzzler, waiting for my hearthstone to be up, with 675 quests down (not including those I have completed in my questlog). I got all the way to the door two rooms outside the end boss for BRD and realized I needed the key. I will be skipping the rest of these unless I absolutely have to. I have a few left for the Lower and Upper Spires, which will be for tomorrow. I hope to coerce Ith into helping me. He owes me.

I haven't been logging very much on this, although I've spent a lot of time in the Plaguelands, which is an area I really like for the story. Very dark and sad.

I'm not sure I can take anymore Blackrock Depths quests.
