Back into the action after having reseted for a spell, Euro flew over to Arathi Basin from Strangethorn Vale to turn in Malin’s Request and from there took the boat from Menethil Harbor to Theramore Isle for a bit more in depth questing.

Off the docks in front of Theramore Isle there is a ship on the edge of the docks with some Privateers on board that Euro blew up to obtain a letter, after which I handed out some Altered Leaflets to the guards to help discredit the deserters. Swam off the coast to the boat with more deserters to twist Captain Gavis Greyshield’s arm a bit. Worked well, as he gave up for the The End of the Deserters quest.

While I was in the area I talked to Nat Pagle and had to kill a Lurking Shark in the area behind him, this took me by surprise as he sprung up out of nowhere. It wasn’t hard to kill, although I am finding I can kill things 4-5 levels higher than me with out a problem. Further on I had to ‘assist’ in killing the sea monster, Tethyr. Way to easy to do.

Cleansed Witch Hill as well in this area a few times and it led me to killing Zelfrax a demon bat looking like creature.

Dinged, 35! Used my two talent points, as I saved my previous, on Blast Wave and Fire Power (Rank 1)

Added some backend CSS to allow better syncing with colorization of WowHead.comWorld of Warcraft Database Site‘s linking of items on their site since I can’t use the .js for autolinking the items. I added a few custom colored ones as well, the spells and zones are slightly different to distinguish them from other stuff.

More to come…

Today Euro has been plugging away at leveling (obviously) and zipped over to Dustwallow Marsh to do a few quests and to get the flight path in Mudsprocket. Killed some Giant Frogs for their legs to get some soup, interesting I had never done this one before. Went to the Shady Inn to do that quest chain some in that area. Also killed Private Hendal in the Missing Diplomat quest line. For whatever reason this was a lot easier than that last time I did that. Hm. Ding 33! Master of Elements 3 of 3!

Ran to Mudsprocket and then to Tabetha for some of my Mage quest line and back over to Theramore Isle, for Traitors Among Us which was also a new quest for me. Tip: Talk to the Deserter Agitator, wait for aggro and then sheep. Buys time for a Pyroblast. Cake walk.  Killed some Young Thrashers off the shore for a dwarf at the lighthouse.

From there I teleported to Stormwind and flew back down the Rebel Camp in Stranglethorn Vale and completed the second tier of the Tiger and Raptor annilations.  Some Bloodscalp might have died for their waxy ears but I say no more.

Dinged 34! So I teleported back to Stormwind for new spells. Upgrades but did get Mage Armor which seems very situational at best. Saving my talent point. Now back to gather ears…

Had a busy few days and Euro is now back in action questing in the jungles of Stranglethorn Vale. Thanks to Mr. Hemet Nesingwary Jr. the population of the jungle creatures has been lowering since my arrival. Kill ten of these and these oh and these too. Completed the first run of each of the mastery chains and found some Large River Crocolisk Skin for the local Booty Bay leatherworker.

Dinged 32 off these quest runs and talented the final 3/3 in Critical Mass, however when I teleported to Stormwind there were no new exciting spells to learn, just upgrades of my existing arsenal. While I was here I snagged the Green Hills of Strangethorn Vale pages that I could find the in Auction House and leveled my Tailoring up to 175. Stopped as this is where Mageweave comes into play and I do not have any currently.

Fly back down the Booty Bay and scanned the Auction House there for the remaining Green Hills of Strangethorn Vale pages that Euro needed. Good thing I had a nice blue twink item drop for me a few levels back. Sold for 115g, hence my ability to buy this stuff. Flew back up to the Rebel Camp and rode over to the tent to turn in the Green Hills quests. Reward was not usable so I disenchanted it. Rode over to the area to kill some Kurzen Medicine Man and Kurzen Jungle Fighter for a quest, nothing I couldn’t handle. Back to SW to rest up.

So with my shiny mount I went over to Bloodmyst Isle since I was in the area to finish up a couple quests in the elite area that I could never find people to group with to complete. However I still have one last quest to do there: Ending Their World. Makes me sad too as I have done this with a paladin character I leveled up a while ago and you get a nifty tabard, Tabard of the Hand. /cry

Teleported back to Stormwind to fly back to Menethil Harbor to work on a quest, The Lost Ingots. I guess some Murlocs stole some of these old Lightforge Ingot bars and this guy wants them back. I enjoyed this quest for some reason, although the drop rate was very low. I snached these up and in turn this chain sent me back to Duskwood of all places. I held off on this direct route and went to Theramore Isle for the flight path and some quick turn ins for some quests I had.

Went over to Arathi Highlands to gather some quests and check some things out to see if I could survive leveling there. Completed one quest where I killed the Syndicate mobs. Overall Euro is a tad low for this area. Flew over to Lakeshire to kill Lieutenant Fangore, had this sitting in my quest book since I did my Mage quest in Redridge.

Duskwood, guess it wasn’t over. This time I had to dispose of Morbent Fel in his cabin on top of the Raven Hill Cemetery. Asked around if anyone else needed this quest as the last time I had recalled completing it, there was a challenge lets say. No replies. Euro started clearing out the area and inside the house. Asked again. Nothing once more. This mob is a 32 Elite so I was hesitate but went off to see how far a solo attempt would work. Well enough that I lived and he died. /cheer I also ran over to killed some more Worgen this time, of the Vile Fang and Tained One variety, Ding 31! Critical Mass (Rank 2)!

This has to be one of the longer zones to actually quest in, seems like I have been here forever. Well to be honest I am bouncing between here and Wetlands so I have been in both zones for some time. At least they are enjoyable.

Worked on more of the Missing Diplomat chain which has me running around a lot. In Stormwind I went to talk to Dwarf by the name of Dashel Stonefist and he got bent out of shape and attacked me. He got scared so he backed off and we were able to chat some. Shortly after that this quest line had me in Menethil Harbor to beat up Tapoke “Slim” Jahn, a very hard quest for a level 29 mage. Luckily near by people assisted me in the attack. /bow

Euro went back over to Duskwood to quest some more in the RHC, this time around it was to hunt down Sketetal Healers, Raiders, and Warders. Nothing that I wasn’t able to tackle. However I did run down into the Dawning Wood Catacombs in search of these mobs to kill and stumbled onto a rare mob: Commander Felstrom that was able to do Felstrom Resurrection three times as I wan’t able to interupt it. So I died a few times and left in shame. Went over to Mor’Ladim ‘s grave to turn in my quest and got a hunk of metal that I can not use: Archeus. Disenchanted it and went on my merry way. Ran over across the graveyard to Abercrombie to kill his monster of a wife in the finishing up quest: Bride of the Embalmer. Learned of a neat trick, trigger the grave and run onto the cart and jump onto the shed. DPS away. Easy way to get Mantle of Honor.

Closer to Darkshire there are some Worgen that are causing some problems with the townsfolk and I was dispatched to take care of them a couple times. Again nothing hard here. Counterspell the casters, sheep if needed. DPS.

Ding 30! Mount time has come so Euro teleported to Exodar to get a Brown Elekk. Think its defective as it seems slower than walking. Meh. Took up Critical Mass (Rank 1) for an extra 2% crit for my talent and learned a couple new spells: Ice Block and Ice Armor.

After destroying the catapults in the Dragonmaw camp, Euro was sent off to take care of Chieftain Nek’rosh. The trail to him was strewn with Bonewarders so travel was by the hillside. Once arrived at the camp that he was at, it only took a couple tries to solo this guy and his group. First try I wasn’t aware that he was apparently immune to fire damage. Died. Try two was the Frost and Arcane variety and Nek’Rosh didnt last long.

After this battle I crossed over Thandor Span into Arathi Highlands to get the flight path to the Alliance camp there and ran over to Southshore as well for the flight path and to turn in a quest I had in my books. An observation doing this was that in Thandor Span I spotted a Foggy MacKreel seemly abandoned on the wreaked side of the bridge. Did not see a clear method to get to him either which was strange. Best of luck mate!

Euro ran around Stormwind doing minor quests here and there then jetted off to Duskwood. Turned in the quest for slaying Mor’Ladim and one about Jitters in Darkshire. Ding 29!

Busy night last night in Azeroth for Euro. Back in the Wetlands I did more of the Cursed Crew chain, and killed a bunch of these undead ghostly sailors and marines. Walk in the park I must say, could have sworn that I remember that being trickier though. From there, Euro went over to the Dragonmaw Orc encampment to make them hand over some dirty banners. I was very persuasive. Ding 28. Used my talent point for Master of Elements to get my Fire and Frost spell critical strikes to refund 10% of their base mana cost. Granted I don’t crit that often it will still be helpful I think. Also got a new skill: Conjure Mana Agate.

From here Euro went back to the Wetlands… again. Spoke with First Mate Fitzsimmons again about the crew and was instructed to get a key from Captain Halyndor aboard one of the ships. Also spoke with Captain Stoutfist in Menethil Keep about the Dragonmaw, he gave Euro some Tinder to blow up their catapults. Off Euro went to complete these objectives.

The Captain was more than willing to part with this key and the chest was found quickly enough as well for that quest. From there I got the Cursed Eye of Paleth that I had to turn in to a few people in order for it to be cleansed of its filth to become a Eye of Paleth which is nicer for me to actually use. However the previous wouldn’t be too bad for a shadow based spell caster (+10 shadow dmg anyone?). Hmm. Oh well. Off to blow up catapults!
