So my lovely friends Bre from Gun Lovin’ Dwarf Chick and Fimlys from Asleep at the WoW have joined bloggity forces to make the Twisting Nether Blogcast…

What, you’re still here? GO CHECK THEM OUT ALREADY!!!

… I specced FERLOL last night!! An old druidy friend came back to the game last night and we went through the gear I had, helping me decide which pieces to use and which to sell. I totally blame Twiggy for this…

So far I’m still getting used to the playstyle - my hordie feral has yet to achieve Mangle nevermind Maim, so I’m playing around lots doing my dailies…

I’ve gone 0/42/19, again this is all Twiggy’s fault… I got him to help me respec. I’m not going to be raiding, so this is mainly for soloing and the odd group up, with the (very odd) possibility of tanking occasionally.

If the armory was up you could see my gear, but as the EU one seems to be ‘down’ at the moment so I’ll do a summary of what I have here, you might want to go get some snacks first :

Headpiece
I have two options here, so I am using Malefic Mask of the Shadows for Bear/tanking and Cowl of Defiance for Cat/DPS.

Necklace
Only one choice here - a Coral Beads of the Beast that I picked up from the AH with 16str, 16agi and 24stam.

Cloak
Cloak of the Inciter.

Chestpiece
Two options here too, I’m using Heavy Clefthoof Vest with 2 Enduring Deep Peridot’s and one Shifting Shadow Draenite for any tanking needs, and Warden’s Hauberk with 2 Shifting Shadow Draenite and 1 Bright Blood Garnet for DPS.

Bracers
Only one option here and that’s the Skystalker’s Bracers of the Beast with 128 armour, 18str, 18agi and 27stam.

Gloves
Handgrips of Assassination.

Belt
Murkblood Belt of the Bandit with 148 armour, 21agi, 31stam and 42AP.

Leggings
Two choices here also… Heavy Clefthoof Leggings for bear/tanking with 2 Shifting Shadow Draenites and 1 Enduring Deep Peridot, and Skulker’s Greaves for DPS with 2 Bright Blood Garnets and 1 Shifting Shadow Draenite.

Boots
Heavy Clefthoof Boots with a Thick Golden Draenite and a Shifting Shadow Draenite.

Rings
Lightwarden’s Band and Band of Celerity.

Trinkets
Core of Ar’kelos and Hourglass of the Unraveller.

Weapon
Wildcaller.

Idol
Idol of the Raven Goddess.

I’ve yet to get any enchants on any of the gear, as I’m still starting out and really need to compile a list of upgrades and so on. So far my dps isn’t half bad and I can still nuke things down pretty quickly, so I’m not feeling to ’slow’, next step may be to tank some lower lvl instances to see how to ‘do it’ so to speak as I have literally only ever tanked once in my life!

Any tips on where to go for info or gear? I really am a noob at this stuff… so feel free to put me right if/when it’s needed!

Ok so I *think* I’ve finished updating my blogroll for now… I’ve even managed to get my favourites on the sidebar.  If there’s anyone who I’ve missed out then give me a yell on here and I’ll add ya ;

… or have I? I have to have been doing SOMETHING when I’ve been logging on right? So here’s a little round up of what I have been doing over the past couple of weeks.

• I’ve managed to level my lil hordie Softi to 49. I’m contemplating doing some pvp with her just for *something* to do. I feel like I’ve hit a slump with her at the moment. I’m getting closer and closer to Outlands, but at the same time it’s still quite a hard slog to get there when you’re soloing most of the time. Then I end up playing another character and the saga continues… *sigh* I’m not making it any easier on myself am I?

• My baby hunter Leafi has been given a lil invite to The Hugger’s guild, where I’m currently getting to know some of the other players and having a great time leveling! 26 and counting… I can hardly let Jhai be ahead of me can I?? Mind you, at least her big brother Dryn the hunter gave me a helping hand in the Stockades the other day… two, or was it three times? So I guess I won’t whinge or whine too much about the druid getting all higher up in levels… just so long as I keep catching up!Now… Leafi has some new pets. Well, they’re not new to her any more, but they are still pretty new. The latest addition was a trip to Redridge to tame Bellygrub. I’ve come up with the oh-so-unoriginal name of Belli for her.However… we are also now the proud companion of a Ghost Saber. Cat (as he is called for the time being) has been with us since level 20, and we still can’t come up with a name for him

  I have a few… guidelines… I want to use while naming him

  • A relatively simple name - only 1-2 syllables tops.
  • Something that will ‘go’ with Leafi when I say their names.
  • A name that will play on the transparent/ghost type pet that he is.
  • SOMETHING ORIGINAL - not another Ghost, or Whisper, or Seethru, but I’m open to those words in another language, even a made up one?

  Not that I’m fussy at all… *whistles*
  So, if you think you can help me with a name It’d be *much* appreciated, and if not a name… maybe some sites where I can think of something? For now I’m off to read up on Mama Druid’s naming posts - no reason it wouldn’t work with a pet just as well as a character eh?

• I’ve managed to get up 5 levels of JC on Maryliin, so she’s now only 5 points away from being maxed out - *woot!*
• Softthistle has gotten to revered with the SSO. Only another week or so of doing half-assed dailies and she’ll be Exalted and the precious will be mine!

Umm, yea… well… I guess I have been pretty busy after all!

Inspiration - has

anyone got some to spare?

Writer’s block’s no fun

What do I write about when I’m lost on what to write? I’m not raiding at the moment cause I’m just too tired by the end of the day, and I don’t really have much focus on any particular character either, so I’m gonna pass it over to you guys, my readers, if I have any left that is!

Ask me some questions and I’ll give you some answers!

Also… feel free to leave some ideas for posts that you’d maybe like to see me write? Like I said, I’m in a total slump just now.

Rejuvination just isn’t working!

This pub is just along the road from us…

It’s just as well I’ve not got PVP on!

Teh hubby finally gave in (after about 6 months) and asked me to help him set up a blog.

I give you - Noobiewan!

So go on over and say hello to him - he’s all lonely over there atm, poor lil hunter… /huggles.

I saw Jess’s new UI and I had to try it. I LOVE fiddling around with addons so I figured it would be some fun to play with a new set.

So here it is… I’ve yet to be in a raid with it but so far I’m really enjoying it - so purty! Although I am getting lost more easily as I forget where the minimap is… /sigh.

Also… the kid is taller than my gnome - ROFLMAO!
