Petoholics Anonymous

I live!

So…I’ve had both Cait and Tzia poke me to post an update (Tzia so subtly said to me in guild chat: “Niqo, you DO remember that you have a blog, right?”). In my defense, I have been kind of busy searching for a job and finally landing one (Yay!). But…I have also had enough time to play a lot of WoW. >.>

Instead of doing one big update that would look very daunting right now, I’m just going to say a couple of important things and then go into detail in a later post.

First of all, I’ve moved all my characters that were on Moon Guard to the new RP realm, Wyrmrest Accord. That includes Niqora, Anuniaq, Brighit, and Tkasha, as well as my new DK Githinji and my baby shammy Zulrea. Yes I know, I actually made some non-hunters. I’ll explain those later.

Secondly, Niqora has reached level 80! Woot! And…she’s engaged to be married! Screenies and details to come.

Thirdly, all my hunters are staying Beast Master. I have nothing against other spec, BM is just what I like. After all, I am a petoholic.

And lastly, I have had a lot of pet changes for my hunters which I will need to post and talk about.

Oh! And I command you all to visit A World (of Warcraft) Apart, the home of my esteemed and wonderful guild leader (and Niqo’s betrothed <3).

Ha! I dare you to tell me that I need to update now!

All-in-one character updates

I honestly have been playing…really, I swear. Work as usual has taken up chunks of my time, as well as other things. And I know I’ve been behind on all of my RSS feeds for the blogs I read when I have over 700 new items >.< To make things simpler, I’m just going to post everything that I’ve been doing on WoW right here.

Niqora

Has reached level 65. At level 64, she tamed a Warp Hunter who she named Grakoth. I just took a screenshot of them in Elwynn Forest (because it’s funny to bug the Alliance). Unfortunately it’s night now so the lighting is horrible.

Here’s a better picture taken from the character chooser screen.

There are some things money can’t buy

// June 13th, 2008 // 5 Comments » // Hunters and Pets, Random Stuff

Repair bills to run Tkasha to Darkshore, drown her, and get on the boat to Azuremyst…1 silver 96 copper

Arrows to kill the Blood Elf Bandit 6 times…2 silver 15 copper

Time spent running around Azuremyst killing the bugger until he dropped this…1 hour

Tkasha wearing an item that is selling for 100 gold on the AH…priceless

There are some things money can’t buy. For everything else, there’s Faeldray’s perseverance.

WTS “like new” guild

// June 9th, 2008 // 23 Comments » // Hunters and Pets, Random Stuff

First, some back story. I was playing Tkasha in Undercity when I received a whisper asking if I would sign a new guild charter. Tkasha is not in a guild and I don’t plan on her being in one, but I decided to be nice and sign it for him. I assumed he was just asking people, not expecting them to stay so I could /gquit later if I wanted to. He’s in Orgrimmar so I tell him I’ll catch the first zeppelin back. I get there, sign the charter, and he walks off without so much as a thank you. Eh…oh well, I’m not too put off by it. A couple minutes later, the guild is formed. I swear the guild is five minutes old when it all starts…

So it seems that my assumption was incorrect. The GM, seen here as “P”, thought that if he invited random strangers into a guild, we’d start being buddies immediately…or something. I responded to him only because I felt bad that no one else was talking to him. I did not however feel sorry enough for him to give him 10g, even though Wolfrider had given Tkasha a good bit of gold. I’d also like to point out that “P” was level 62 at this time. If you cannot farm 10g at level 62, something is very very wrong.

Two minutes later, this happens… (more…)

Stuff and things post

If you check out Tkasha on the Armory, you will see that she is wearing Fine Leather Gloves and Embossed Leather Pants. I mention this because last night Wolfrider said “You didn’t tell them that he changed her pants!” Yes, that is pretty much a direct quote

Did I mention that I’m going to try MM with Tkasha? I know, I will now be shunned by the Beast Master god. Oh, Tkasha has her own page now

My school will be done at the end of this week and other than looking for a job and working a little, I’ll have a lot of time on my hands. Again my mind goes back to the idea of a pet name generator, since the character name generator is amazingly popular. Any one have any suggestions or requests for it? Should I organize the names by family or something else? Maybe silly names, mythological names, etc. And where the heck will I get the names from? To my knowledge, there is no other program I can use as a template so I’m starting from scratch.

Comments, suggestion, questions will all be appreciated.
