Progressing in World of Warcraft, got to level 19, only 41 more levels to go. I've acrued over four gold so far and I can't find anything (weapons/armour) that are worth spending it on: I have pretty good weapons and armour for my level (it can deal with level 21 monsters). I made most of the money making guns (about ten deadly blunderbuses sold for 35 silver, over 30 profit each) after gathering copper in questing/grinding sessions.

Most of the quests I get involved in now I have to do alone as other people have other agendas. I have found that the best strategy is to search around the world for quests against baddies that are three or four levels below me. Against these I can take overt action (think Arnie in 'Commando'), fighting two or three at a time. I got tired of my former tactic of picking off individuals on the outskirts of a camp geurilla style: takes hours. I still accrue experience from killing monsters five levels below so I still earn the chance to level up. I could spend my time doing easy quests against vastly inferior monsters, I'd still get some experience from completing the quest but it would take much longer to level up and there are a finite number of quests to do.

Went in this morning to find the WoW version of Father Christmas. I did a little quest to get him five ginger bread biscuits and he gave me four bolts of cloth. Whoopee. All the gnomes have little father christmas outfits on and are riding around on reindeer. IronForge has christmas trees and decorations everywhere. Very festive.
