- Continued the questing in Feralas. The levelling guide said I was supposed to collect yeti fur but I didn't seem to have the quest so I had to skip it. One thing about slavish following the levelling guide is that you do things and you don't know why, where you picked the quest or where you turn it in. Will have to look back through the guide to find out where I was supposed to pick it up. I have collected all three chicken robot homing beacons but the guide said the one in feralas would need a group to do so I'm going to leave it a few levels so I can solo it. If I do all three robot chicken escort quests I get my own robot chicken!

Speaking of pointless pets, Dark Whelpling has still not sold
I saw a guy on a boat running around with one and I still don't like them, remind me too much of the paladin being blasted by two or three.
- My extra kills when getting Giant Eggs for artisan cookery meant that I hit level 45 just when the guide said I should if I had done Uldaman so I'm on schedule.
- Back to Tanaris. Killed more wastewater bandits, ready for the pirates next. Ought to tackle that in the morning as I expect that area to be busy in the evenings.
- I've been wondering if my pet's apparent toughness is because of my decision to buy mail armour so the pet can benefit from the knock-on armour buff? Some hunters seem to stick with leather armour for the stats but I've found mail armour with stats so I'm happy.
- KB died in a big fight when I agroed a camp with four voidwalkers and their pets. It was funny running away, I switched the camera view to look behind me and there was a purple cloud of angry looking voidwalkers running after me. I have the camera view flip mapped to my ' button, it's handy to take a peek behind now and then.
- I saw that I had enough ingredients to make a big batch of Elixir of Greater Intellect. Since it is a guardian elixir it stacks with agility elixir so I'll give it a try. It should increase the size of the mana pool and I will see if it makes mine last longer, although it's probably spirit I would need to refill it quicker: there is nothing to be gained from having a larger empty tank. However spirit seems to be regarded as the hunters least useful stat. I am probably better off sticking to making mana pots.
- Making these potions pushed my alchemy to 275 so I fired up the paladin to email sixteen arcane crystals and some thorium bars, ready to go into the arcanite business.
- Had a big garage sale of crap. Accidently put it on 8 hour sale instead of 24: was using laptop where auctioneer is still broken following 2.1 and I've not fixed it yet. By this morning only about a third of it had sold. Things seem to sell slowly these days, all the rare weapons are usually at gougy prices, there's no fun in the auction house for me any more.
- Reminds me, I got a blue drop, a big knife. Must put it up for a gougy price.
- Also got a nice dagger as a quest reward so I could bin the old level 23 axe I was using. Looking at Maevyn's armoury profile, she is carrying an impressive number of items from quest rewards. My favourite is her long flowing cape, it's blue but still a bit matrix in the way it flows while she fights. I wonder where she got it...? UPDATE: cool, if you click on the item in the armory it tells you the name of the quest and where you got it so the cape came from getting Dizzy's eye in Stranglethorn. HEY now I can figure out where other players get the cool stuff!
- This morning I dropped my wife's bottle of tahitian noni water on the floor and lost fifteen minutes playtime mopping it up. Was still logged in when I got back, odd. Does it only boot people when the servers are loaded? Not many people in Ironforge this morning.
- Going out tonight, possibly servers down tomorrow morning, don't expect big things.

Tue Jun 12 2007 16:04 about 1 year agoI don't know if special shots and stings count as 'spells' since they do use mana.
Wife was ok about the noni water, even though the bottle cost £35 (!!1!).

Hunters pet does benefit from their Owner improved armor rating.
Alchemy: Elixir of Greater Intellect is a great Elixir to use or sell. For a Paladin as a spell caster it increase your ability to spell crit the higher your intellect, same with any casting class. Don't think it affects non casters as much but i'm sure some if you use mana. The prime benefit of a higher intellect stat rating or boost however you look at it is you ability to increase in weapon skill increases. So faster leveling up on a Weapon or if your low rated in weapon skill and want to skill it up fast, drink one of these pot and go grinding on mobs. For me as a Paladin best mobs are fast hitting mobs. Reckoning is always procing and so lots of extra hit and so more swings which mean more swings to level up any new weapons skill or deficient weapon skill rating.
Don't get wife agro for dropping stuff :) never a good thing.
