- I don't really want to keep saying this but I'm still following the levelling guide, I haven't deviated from it much at all. It's sent me trudging all round Westfall and I'm getting sick of the place just like I did last time and I haven't even done any corpse runs to the deadmines yet.
- Hunter is at level 19 now, closing in on the big two-oh. She'll be finished with the current levelling guide then and also finished with Westfall. I have the next levelling guide lined up (there are loads of them here).
- When I reached the coast near the lighthouse I found one of those whirling schools of fish and had a good fishing session. I caught lots of Oily Blackmouth which are used in alchemy. I also caught two treasure boxes and one had a green drop in it! I've got the fishing up to 75 now, it's starting to look respectable, although it does mean I am carrying six different types of fish around in my limited bag space. Still, fishing doesn't seem as boring now. Peter's fishing tip: zoom in to first person perspective for a better view of the fishing bob.
- I managed to get Colin killed three times this morning while attacking Murloc camps. It seems three level 18ish murlocs (and a couple of crab Murloc Hunter pets) is beyond his limits. My hunter managed to run away every time. I really should work out a way to call him off, it's kinda tragic watching him get more and more agro and knowing he's going to die. I wonder if dismissing him would do the trick, although I'd have to be ready to run. There was a recipe for Swiftness Potion on the AH this morning but there was no buyout: I need to get one of those to expedite my escape strategy. Even without it the hunter can run surprising quickly with three spears sticking out of her.
- Hunter died once: was busy fighting when she received the personal attention of Old Murc-Eye the big murloc.
- Inventory problems are driving me crazy. I spend more time deciding what to dump than I do fighting. Must organise my bags and put strict limits on how much fish, meat etc I carry around.
- I tried out my new 'Multishot' for the first time: it shoots three targets at once. Predictably, the first time I used it on two monsters Colin was fighting with it made one of them come running to me. I abandoned it for a while, then this morning I tried it on single monsters and it seems I can use it to get in an extra more powerful shot as it is on a different cooldown to the Arcane shot. I was killing level 14 boars incredibly quickly. I think this is what hunters mean when they talk about 'rotations', firing off the different special shots as each six second cooldown expires.
- I bought a green bow for more dps as there don't seem to be any decent guns available for the next few levels. I don't have bow skills so ran to Woo Ping in stormwind for archery training. He told me he couldn't do it, I'd have to go to Darnassus! That means either a risky run through wetlands to Menethil Harbour or bribing a mage! Gave up on the archery plan. Luckily the bow was only 50s or so.
- The level 53 gun I bought for 6g looks like quite a lucky find, it's a Shell Launcher Shotgun. It would be nice to find a level 19 blue for 6g but there seem to be a lot of twinks on this server driving the prices crazy.

Thu May 10 2007 07:39 about 1 year agoI tried this last night, disengaging him by setting him to stay and then defensive and it seemsed to work.
I have bought more bags, three 16 slot netherweave bags to be precise.
Useful tips on getting to menethil and getting portals, thanks.

Easy, as you run away, just set him to passive and follow. He won't turn to attack people like they do when set to defensive and he'll ignore any thing and just run to you.
>Inventory problems are driving me crazy.
Buy more bags.

It's not too hard. just use your pet to to pull aggro from anything that you aggro. As an aside to bribing the mage, the portal spells they use require a "Rune of portals". These can be bought from a reagent vendor. Buy one and see if they'll accept that as payment. Usually they will(well i would) since it doesn't cost them anything except a bit of mana.
Finally, make sure you are always spending your training points, don't let them go to waste.
