Thrillkiller (Horde rogue) is now level 37, a 300 level Gnomish Engineer, level 286 cook, 210 First Aid, 221 Mining, and working on the fishing quest to increase the fishing skill cap to 300. It is so FUN to be an engineer! Yelling Geronimooooo! and jumping off Freewind Post in 1K needles, then popping your parachute cloak and floating safely to the ground. And the explosives really come in handy as well. It seems that Blizz gave each level cap an option for bombs that have no stun effect, but are cost effective to make. For the 300 level, you can make Dense Dynamite, which costs 2 Dense Blasting powder and 3 runecloth, and makes 2 bombs that do about 300-400 damage to an area. When I can bid on and get solid and dense stacks for 30 silver each, and a stack of runecloth for 1.2 gold, this is an easy choice for me. I think the 225 level has Solid Dynamite, which is Solid Blasting powder and Silk cloth.
Along the way, I was able to make 7 Mithril Mechanical Dragonlings. I was going to make the 17 I need for all my toons (9 engineers, and Bloodshrike made one already), but I’m not going to pay 4 gold each Star Ruby! Ludicrous, especially since I’ll be mining Thorium soon. I’m sure it will be a long time before I hit 50, so that will give me time to accumulate enough when I powerlevel my first engineer to 375. I was lucky enough to buy the Arcanite Dragonling schematic on the Horde server, and I think I also got it on my Ally server as well. There’s certain recipes that I want all my engineer toons to know, like Goblin Land Mines, but the high level ones like Sniper Scope and the Arcanite Dragonling, I’m comfortable just having 1 toon on each server have it. Planning ahead, I will make double the number of Mithril Dragonlings that most of my toons would need, because one of them is used in making the Arcanite Dragonling, and I couldn’t do that if only one of my toons has the recipe, and the trinkets are soulbound to the other toons. Since I ran out of Star Rubies, and continued powerleveling, I guess Morticide will probably be the toon to make and hold the other Mithril dragonlings, because Kukoshakaku’s bank is full of leatherworking mats. Literally, full. I need to play him, so I can equip the items clogging up space in the main bank area, and easily be able to dump stuff I get from grinding.

Time to cash in my winter retirement fund.....
12/17/07
Friday I went to bed early because I had gotten a flu shot and I had been staying up until 3 am last week anyway. Saturday morning I logged on to discover that it was Feast of Winter Veil time! I had been saving almost every small egg I ran across, in preparation for this time of year. I had about 140 eggs on Demon Soul, and about 120 on Dagger spine. I made enough Gingerbread cookies for all my alts on each server, and then made more to sell off on the AH. I sold them at 3.5 gold for a 5 stack, and I sold out within the first hour. Well, when other people are selling at 3 gold for 1 small egg, my prices were very attractive. I even sold off the other 4 Glasses of milk that I bought from the inn, since the quest only requires 5 gingerbread cookies and 1 glass of milk. I saw the 1x Glass of milk in the AH at 50 silver, so I’d price them at 25-35 silver, and they all sold! People are very, very, very lazy in this game.
Saturday night I was able to turn in the gingerbread cookies for all my horde characters, run to Thrall’s chambers and then hearth back to TB to turn in the “Reason for the Season” book to Cairne Bloodhoof (Ally characters have it easy, they only have to run to the Explorer’s League quarters, and then to the King of Ironforge.)
Sunday was my parents 50th anniversary up in Sacramento, so that took up most of my day. I was only able to log on with a couple of Ally characters to turn in the quests, but I did spend most of that 70 gold I picked up from selling eggs. It’s a habit of mine to always check the containers section, just in case they have Fel Iron Toolboxes or Travelers Bags for cheap. Well, I saw a Bag of Hides (24 slot LW bag) for only 65 gold, whereas before it had been going for 100+ gold. I price checked the mats for it, and on Daggerspine, it would cost way more than 90 gold to make that bag. So, I snapped it up quickly, and sent it to Tsuris. I’ve bought out all the bag slots for my Leatherworkers on both servers, because they seem to need a lot of different mats, not to mention all the 225-300 LW recipes I’ve gotten off the AH.
I was able to get some of the Feast of Winter Veil quests for my Horde characters, since 4 of them are level 30+. I’m going to try to knock those out this week, and hopefully get the Winter’s Edge recipe (BS), Gloves of the Greatfather (LW), and the Snowmaster 9000 (Eng). I did buy a full 14 slot bag of Snowballs for each of the servers, so I can sell them off later next year for 2 gold per 20 stack. It’s only 10 copper for a 5 stack, so only 40 copper for a 20 stack is a good deal. I think they also spawn in the Alterac mountains at this time of year, but it’s a lot easier to just buy them now, instead of collecting them one at a time while I’m there. I thought they were pretty useless, just used to have snowball fights and to make the Snowmaster 9000, but you also need them to summon the non-attack pets you get from the Feast of Winter Veil quests/presents.

Clearing out the junk
12/14/07
No questing last night, just going thru my toons and making them battle ready. My rogue Thrillkiller on Horde side was chock-full of cooking mats, and I wouldn’t be able to go out and and quest with full bags, so I started spreading the wealth around to my other toons, even though it meant buying more bag slots in their banks. I also got back to leveling my lvl 16 Druid Morticide on Wednesday night, knocking out some of the Harpy quests in NW Barrens, part of the Samophlange quest in NE Barrens, getting his Aqua form, and doing part of the quest for his Cat form. I was lvl 19 when I finished, and it only took a couple of hours.
I’m going to be happy when all my Horde side toons get through to level 35, because that means they’ll be able to powerlevel to 300 in their professions, and will have worked through the backlog of equipment I stashed in each of their banks. Bad, bad idea! Unless you’re going to get to that level in the immediate future, or it’s got really good stats, don’t bother stockpiling. I usually check to upgrade my equipment every 2 levels now, to coincide with buying skills from my class trainer.
