Levels 10-20

I've achieved a lot from levels 10-20. My professions are up to date, Mining at 126, and Blacksmithing at 150. ining is lagging behind a bit, but thats because i was mainkly waiting until level 20 so i can mine while mounted, making it a lot faster. Blacksmithing is up to date, and i am making gear i cannot use until i level up a couple of more times. I have also obtained 3additonal blacksmithing patterns, not learnable by a trainer. I got one as a drop, and bought 2 off the Auction House. I am going to try to obtain every blacksmithing pattern in game :)

I spent a lot of time at the Blacksmithing Trainer!


Apart from leveling my professions, i have joined a guild, done 3 or 4 random dungeons, quested a bit in Darkshore and i am becoming more familiar with my chosen spec - Fury.

Questing in Darkshore
Gear wise, i am almost all decked out in Mail. I have made a couple of pieces through Blacksmithing, but the majority has been from quest rewards and drops. I am looking like a mish mash mess, hoping to improve on that soon!
Don't take any fashion advise from this lil Draenei!
Total time played as of level 20: 13 hrs

Levels 1-10


The road to Teldrassil.
I have leveled the first 10 + levels at the Draenei Starting Zone many times before, so it was time for something different this time. I headed off for the long walk and boat ride to Teldrassil - Night Elf Territory.

The journey there was uneventful, without deaths, but attracting the attention of some higher level wildlife. I'd picked up 3 candy buckets on my way there... Stormwind, Darnassus and Teldrassil which gave a nice little boost to my XP.

I'd done all of the quests in this zone before of other charachters, but it has been a while since then, and i still had to check my map to find out where i should be heading next.

Stopping for a moment to admire the beauty of an enchanting structure.

Leveling was very quick - everything is so close together, and i ran into about 3 or 4 Rare Mobs whichgives you a huge chunk of XP. I was taking on orange mobs at one stage too, which helped with maximum XP gain. I only needed to capture one of the battle pets in the zone which was the Elfin Rabbit; Nothing spectacular, just looks like your standard run of the mill brown rabbit. He was grey quality.

On the gear side of things, i picked up very little - my outfit at the moment looks like a mish mash of un-co-ordinated colours and patterns... Hopefully i will pick up something more appealing soon enough.

I learnt my professions - Mining and Blacksmithing and got these up to over skill level 100. There was absolutely no nodes in Teldrassil!! thankfully i had a stockpile of ore and stone to get me up to 100 (and with a little help from the AH). Blacksmithing was easy enough to level with all of the ore I'd smelted from Mining. Ive made some gear that's a bit too high level for me to use, but im looking forward to wearing it when I'm high enough.

My current Spec is Fury (Dual Weld weapons). I intend to try this spec until level 30, then get Dual Spec and try out tanking.

Goodbye Teldrassil!

Hallow's End in Azeroth

It's a great time to be questing in Azeroth!

With Hallows End in full swing throughout Azeroth, there are lots of little treasures to keep you entertained while doing your questing grind. The Inns are full of apple bobbing games and Candy buckets with sweet treats. There's also some scary masks of Orcs and Gnomes that you might come across!
A lot of the towns are decorated with Hallows End decorations, which makes for a nice change of scenery as you pass by on your way to the next zone. The cities are also decorated with spooky decorations, and people dressed up in costumes of ghosts, ninja's, pirates and wisps!

A handy item which is only available in Hallows End, is the Tricky Treat. This increases your run speed by 4% which helps you to get to your destination faster, as walking can sometimes be too slow. It only lasts for about a minute, so stock up on these items when you get them! Oh, another great buff for this event while leveling is a boost to Experience and reputation gain. There is a quest you can accept outside the gates of Stormwind which asks you to burn the Wickerman next to it. Doing this simple task will assist you in leveling faster once you have the buff.
