The Real Hard Mode
This past week I came to grips with the fact that I had two options:
1) Level on the weekends when I have a better internet connection, and reach 80 sometime around Christmas.
2) Suck it up and do what I can during the week, enduring a horrible internet connection.
Option 2 is the way to go. Option 2 is about as much fun as masturbating with a cheese grater.
Combat is a real treat. I engage, start my rotation, and everything just kinda… sits there. I silently hope that I’ve killed the mob while I lag out. This happens pretty much on every pull. You also tend to die alot when you can’t fight back properly. Rotations go out the window, and instead of “lol /faceroll across the keyboard” it’s “WTF /HEADBUTT MONITOR”.
Masturbating. Cheese grater.
The upside? The Rokk is almost at 72, and I’m really feeling like I’m earning levels the hard way.
Only Fifty Clams
They’re practically giving blues away.
Winterfin Retreat needed The Rokk’s help. If there’s one thing I know, it’s that you can’t discriminate. If they’ve got an exclamation mark hanging over their head, any quest they have is as good as someone else’s, regardless of race, creed, or faction.
Except Alliance. They can go pound salt while pissing up a rope.
Anyway, there’s a Clam Vendor at the Winterfin Retreat. While running quests at the opposing Winterfin Murloc camp, you easily scrounge up Winterfin Clams. In fact, in the time it took me to finish up Oh Noes, The Tadpoles! and Them! , I easily rounded up the 50 clams necessary to purchase what was pretty much an upgrade from the axe I was using –
Not only that, but if one wanted to make some easy gold in the AH, you simply have to get 100 clams and hand them in for a Siren’s Tear which usually sells well (100g last time I looked).
