Halls of Lightning
When you have multiple characters, you sometimes forget what they have and haven’t done as far as progression. However, I do know that Rokk appears to have gotten into the swing of the PVP concept of Wintergrasp.
He’s becoming quite the adept killer.
Now in the wee hours of the morning, when a call went out to run heroic Halls of Lightning, a still-blooddrunk Rokk answered the call.
With the band of merry guildies, Rokk went forth and began to lay waste to Loken’s minions.
Eventually, after crushing bodies beneath his feet, Rokk finally heard the words of the treacherous and deceiving Loken.
The battle raged, the body fell, and Rokk’s first heroic instance had been completed. What did he have to show for his efforts?
It wasn’t all about achievements. He did get an upgrade for his tanking set.
Success!
The People’s Champ
Finally the Rokk has laid the Smack Down on the biggest Jabroni walking around the Argent Tournament!
Okay, so not really. However there was much smack that was laid down in ample quantities. The Black Knight was just the first. Once we qualified for Champion status, and had already beat the rest of the Horde representatives, it was time for the Alliance to get theirs.
Ding!
And then, once the smoke had cleared and the dust had settled, we proved what we’d already known, and the good Tauren of Thunder Bluff came to realise –
We are the People’s Champ. You’re welcome.
Achievements Suck
After going over the Achievement system in WoW, my conclusion is that they’re not really all that useful. However, I feel that Foamy the Squirrel says it much better than I ever could.
Achievements
The first achievement I picked up this evening was one I stumbled across. I found a flock of turkeys on the road and recalled an achievement for killing 15 in 3 minutes.
Later on I decided to get another easy one, since I was in the neighbourhood.
Since the Ruk doesn’t have hair to start with, I wasted four gold to change his non-existent hair color. Easy as pie.
Last one was the achievement I was most looking forward to.
Ding 74! I took the quest in Venomspite that ports me to Dalaran. I probably won’t be finishing that one off for some time, since it’s an easy port to the city.
Battle for the Undercity
I’d been trying to burn through quests to get to 74, and qualifying for the quest to take me to Dalaran. Just another short-term goal to make the grind to 80 a little more tolerable. So imagine my surprise when my achievement window popped with –
Hmm. Wonder if that has anything to do with the epic quest people are always talking about?
Turns out it was.
The Ruk was hanging out in good company.
Still 73 though.
/grumble.
