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.

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.

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.

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

Once I saw this screen I got a bit excited for Cataclysm and all that will start to change.  This expansion will be different for me. I will be more patient and not so competitive. I want to enjoy leveling and understanding classes. I am really stoked for the lore too!

I could have started playing at this point, but I really wanted to wait until it was as close to done as possible. I didn’t want to risk playing and having it DC me! I was sooo antsy though! Once I logged in, Kileana was the first, I was stoked. The talent trees and all of the screen information. The guild information keeps confusing me, but I really like it.

I did get his in a few of my mailboxes which was awesome! Not sure really why though. I am guessing they removed the Badge of Justice’s? If so, I made bank on a Anika and Invidia since I still do Outland Dailys and you end up getting a few a day. My main focus this week is working on Invidia (Emerald Dream) and get as close to Loremaster as possible, as well as loading up in the Gold department. Once I transfer her to Earthen Ring, I will level Anika to 80 and most likely level her in Cataclysm.

                               I have to be honest! I haven’t been leveling Kileana to the best of my abilites due to so much going on! Not just in IRL, but also with other characters. Everyone that was around my level sky rocketed to 40-50. I really need to focus on her leveling a bit more. Also, I did something different. I am not leveling in Kalimdor like I usually do. I usually don’t go to Eastern Kingdoms until I hit to Stranglethorn Vale. I want to really get into the OLD Azeroth before they completely destory it.  I really enjoy leveling with Frost at the moment and have gotten some upgrades in gear. Not as much as I want, but it’s better then greens.
