So yesterday i reached the "big ding", lvl 60 finaly. My /played time is: 24 days, 7 hours and 50 minutes , slow huh ?
Now i'll write a little tale about how it all went. (It's quite long)
Level 1 to 12 - Joining the forsaken army
It's cold, dark and the air smells of death, Tirisfal glades, oh i've raised as a undeath, with the purpose of fighting the faul scouge, and slaying the arrogant humans. At this point I allready know how to play, but i had never played caster before, and certainly not healer. Neither had i played forsaken, so undercity was also new for me.
But i start the game, quests to around lvl 12.
Silverpine forest - Barrens without spam
I follow the quest lead for the areas, bringing me to silverpine forest, and i get to ride a bat for the first time, how execiting. The sepulcher, a old graveyard is spooky, just the perfect hangout spot. I see people writing "LFG SFK" and don't have a clue what they mean (i also saw "LFG SM" in Tirisfal glades).
Continue the quest lead, making me lvl 18, and starts getting group invites. First run was RFC at lvl 18.
The barrens, oh why did i ever leave the undead langs
Barrens, big desert, full of rocks, orcs/trolls mysterius creatures, big raptors and so on. And the magical barrens chat, who can forget that. Here i do some quests, but returns to Eastern Kingdom at lvl 24, doing SFK. After this i move on to Hillbrad foothills, and keeps doing quests there/in the barrens, to lvl 28. At this point i get a invite for Wailing caverns from my Guildmasters alt, and first time i get to to this instance, was a very good run, and very funny.
Thousand Needles - Mining ftw.
At lvl 28 i enter 1000n, since it should be a good horde-favored area, to quest in. And it is, loads of easy quests, and fast to get to RFK and RFD when the invites come rolling in (yes, priests get plenty of invites I found out). Also this area is sooo full of iron, gold and tin. So my mining increases like hell. When i could mine mitril i did travel forth and back between 1000n and stonetalon to mine mithril there (how i earned to teh mount). Also done some quests in stonetalon on the way.
Arathi highlands, now the ganking begins
Mounts are cool, definity they are, but they also freaking hard to run from. So Arathi is a good place to get ganked, heh. Here i also found the mysterius battleground entrace, and "pvp" quests, not having any idea of what it was. Arathi was fun, stayed here to around lvl 40, doing all the quests (as in all other areas, even the grey/green ones). Stormgarde is a great outdoor "instance" we could call it, and a decent challenge for everyone, since you'll have to fight random alliance groups at the same time.
At lvl 34 i also visited the entire map, getting all flightpaths i could get. (YES, im including winterspring/moonglade and silithus!)
Lvl 40, MOUNT WEEEEEEEEEEEE
Golds can buy love, love for a Red Skeleton Horse, and a brilliant speed. Think i used 2-3 days just riding around, or jumping around in undercity. I think we all know that feeling, when we get our first mount.
Stranglethorn - Revenge
In the 30ish i visited stanglethorn vale some times, but got killed by groups of alliance (note: never solo alliance,unless they were skul-level), so at lvl 40, it was time for revenge. Here i spend some days slaugthering the faul alliance, helping my fellow hordies completing the quests at nessingway, or fleeing on my mount from gnomes and nightelves on epic mounts. Got rank of Grunt on 2 weeks, by visit stranglethorn a couple of times. High ranked rank was more a proof of being bad world-pvp player, than good.
Powerlevel? naah
Think 40-50 was my slowest levels ever,after doing several instances and getting damn decent gear and plenty of money , I desided i was time to get level up, and moved on to the respective questing area. Tried to grind, but fell asleep after 10min, so skipped that.
Lvl 50, hoho, can you say sunken temple?
Instance invites is getting bored, done all instances atlast 8 times. Finaly hits lvl 50, and get a quest from my trainer. This quest returns up with a quest in The Sunken Temple, and we does a succesful run in first try, though no groups ever cares to finish all bosses, which is a bit sad.
Raid healing in blackrock
One of my most scaret momenets, was my first raid heal in Blackrock Deeps. I got invited to a 10man group (who accualy wiped, because of insane pulls.. pretty lame group). Here I for first time tried a raid, and to heal 10 persons, a bit difficuelt, but you get used to it.
WPL/EPL
Hehe, anyone who played undead must have tried to getting killed in this area before lvl 20, atleast I did. Now it was time to return, doing the quests/kills for argent dawn, setting the game in a new perspective.
Moving further at lvl 55, asking for what ares's to visit the last 5 levels, i got some nice replys which lead me to some nifty quests in EPL. This also resulted in a baron run invite at lvl 56, nice Ring of the Martyr for me (10man run = PISS EASY).
Lvl 58 - Now it get's hard
At end of lvl 58, i've done all quest who is not elite, or dungeon. I desprately search the map , visiting almost all highlevel area's for quests so i could finish off before the 1.10 patch (did not succed). I succed to find random elite quests, and get guild members to help, for those i couldn't solo. This takes part mostly in silithus.
[b]Lvl 59, 10% exp left[b]
Server closes, 1.10 updates. Whe whole wednesday i take home to a dinnerparty @ parents house, while the community goes in "whine" mode over the problems.
Comes home Thursday, updates , spec holy , and grind the last 19400 exp points to lvl 60, on ogres in The Vice,Deadwind Pass. (Holy Fire have soo nice graphics).
DING 60!!
YES, done it! Finaly, after almost 7 months of wow (2th April = 7 months precise), I finaly reach the currently last level in WoW.
It's been a really great great time, playing from lvl 1 to 60, (except the corpse camping alliance at Thorium Point, i'll hunt you down when i get tier2).
I was slow yes :-) But who cares about speed, fun ftw.
Today
Well, now it's time to live out the dream, and become a mighty dragonslayer.
So far i've killed one (http://thedeathart.dk/upload/WoWScrnShot_030506_013326.png) around lvl 54 it was. Can't wait to get down in MC/BWL for the really big ones.
Next is though ZG, at sunday :-)
