Seriously, one freaking recipe away!!! And in AH it’s 6k… Anyone up for a AQ40 run??? :D

It took me forever to actually finish this book. I enjoyed it for the most part though. It made me understand a lot leading up to Burning Crusade, which is where I started playing World of Warcraft. Not my favorite yet of the series, but it was a pretty good story. :)

Once I logged into Kileana I realized I had to put points in for frost! I was to antsy so I just placed them wherever. I will reset and re-do it once I research more and once I get higher in level. So far, this is what I have!

Along with noticing the new tab for talents, I must say this was awesome! I always liked the way wowhead had posted their builds. It was more convenient this way rather than dealing with the tabs before.

                          This is the new professions tab! I love this! I really am excited for whats more to come. This makes everything look cleaner and manageable, imo. I wish they would expand more on Fishing though, as well as First Aid. I think if First Aid had a Medic icon, like Basic Campfire is to Cooking. Medic could be achieved by how many bandages you create over time. It could open a set of special ‘potions’ that can be used in raid. For fishing, I think depending on how many fish you create you can get a fishing boat, which can proc some awesome fishing stat. 

The Companions/Mounts section is similar. I like this better because it shows more and is a lot more readable and I just like the overall look.

                Since doing the Loremaster achievement I have been able to obtain a lot of lower level items. I currently have herbalism on Invidia and I literally sell everything to either a vendor or AH. Here is an activity that I really would like for those readers who would like to see the difference. Before doing any dailys or usual activities right down your gold amount. Make a goal that you want to achieve as far as tasking goes. Like for example, I usually do Dalaran Dailies (DD: Cooking and Fishing.), then which ever dailys I need reputation for; Argent Crusade, Sons of Hodir, Wyrmrest Accord, etc..

                I gather as much as I can as far as herbs go. Before starting in any zone I sell anything I can that I have obtained from drops (grey items included.) Once I am done I head to Shattrath City. Yes, it does STILL exist and I usually head there due to the major lag in Dalaran depending on the character I am on. I do the following dailys: Cooking, Fishing, the few quests in Shatt that lead you to Nagrand, Blades Edge Mountain, and Netherstorm. Then I usually do the ones in Skettis since I don’t have exalted with Sha’tari Skyguard. Whenever I get a chance to go to my bank, I organize my herbs. Make sure that if you have any full stacks that you place them in a certain section in your back and then check your hearthstone. If it is usuable then port to any city that has an Auction House. Sell as much as you can! You will be surprised how much gold you can get AND how much reputation you can obtain from doing Loremaster AND dailys.

With loremaster I designate a specific zone, make sure low level quests is mark on your map finder. I sell and gather as much as I can and make bank! It’s worth it. I promise you.

Note: I’ve made the mistake of not noticing the unit/stack selection. This seriously has caused me major headaches because when placing a stack down and putting 25g, then realizing you placed the item for 500g is a definately a ‘/facepalm’ moment and a waste of some valuable gold.

I’ve been lacking the ability to enhance any gear on Invidia. I looked at my stats and am saddened by where they should be for a raiding warlock. I’ve been doing a small amount of research so far on the changes from 4.0.1 and am looking for some new builds.

This is the stats I have currently and all of my gear, and build, as of today! (10-24-10) I will definately be changing and modifying these ASAP! :)

I don’t even know WHAT build or points I put in for, but I’ll post some ones I research on once I do find the right stuff. I need to figure out what the spell rotation is now too! I’m all sorts of scrambled.

And yes! I DO have my damn fishing pole equipt! It’s how I roll!!! :)   /facepalm

Finally, after trying to obtain this for so long, I log in and realize I have 100 Dalaran Cooking Award points!! I totally purchased it in a beat of the heart! (yes, I say it different then most, but I don’t care.) I actually really enjoy the pace that it cooks food now! I will never cook anything without this hat ever again! It use to be dreadful to actually cook stacks of fish, but now it takes 1/4 the time it did before. I highly recommend getting this useful tool.

So, Loremaster is my goal for Invidia! I have already gotten all of Outland done and the gold that you get along these quests lines is amazing! I also am able to get reputation up AND also dungeon achievements! It’s obvious to say that doing Loremaster is a ripple effect for the achievement pond! I know it will take a lot of time and patience, but I need this! I started playing during Burning Crusade so I wasn’t able to experience Vanilla WoW. Since Cataclysm is changing the old world forever, then this is the best time to do it!

I will obviously be posting a weekly update of my progress. If not on here you can definately hear me on my twitter feeds.
