Vacation Catch Up

The Vacation

I was on vacation last week, somewhere sunny, on the ocean, with 30 degree (Celsius) weather everyday. I had started to write up some posts to auto-post during my vacation but the whole point of why I blog is to interact with people – and doing so in an absentee fashion seemed counter to why I am here in the first place. So I let the joint go quiet and enjoyed my vacation. One thing that I struggle with in the Caribbean is the abject poverty you see on your way to your all inclusive, glutton-fest  five star resort. I actually start to feel guilty as the bus shuttles us in and around broken down towns and shacks, to the safety of our secured resort where luxury awaits. I know that if I didn’t go that would pull out a good chunk of money out of their economy, and their jobs, but really, where does the bulk of my money go? Not to the locals, that much is for sure. The resort we were at also had a very strict no tipping policy to the point that the employee would get fired if they accepted tips.  I felt conflicted, but overall had a wonderful time. Did some Scuba diving, sailed, swam, ate, drank, relaxed.

The Druid

I won my druid! He is artifact level 25 which unlocks the alt catch up mechanic and is the current max. I have my main spec weapon (Guardian) completely filled out on traits as well as my secondary spec (restoration).

There is a lot of Artifact Power flowing with nowhere to put it (reasonably, you can jack them up still at almost 2,000,000 AP a pop) but I have been spending them on my third and fourth artifact weapons as you can flesh those out quickly. I still don’t even know if I am going to play either spec but might as well get them prepared for if that happens.

I have also been fortunate enough to 3 of the 4 hidden appearances. The one I am missing is for my main, and it drops off the first boss in the Emerald Nightmare (a raid) which is available in the LFR. I can do it once per week and I also feel bad a bit for this because I queue up to tank the raid but there is no point in my continuing after the first boss, so I drop. A lot of druids are doing this (most likely looking for the same thing) so it is a bit of a Druid dance. Here are the three hidden appearances:

Of the three, my favourite is the Scythe. It is pretty cool looking in my opinion.

The Paladin

Isee finished the Paladin quest line. It was pretty neat and involved spaceships and unexpected allies. I am not done the Order Hall but I have seen most of what I have needed to with the Paladin. I will probably muck around on her to finalize the Hall upgrades but I do not have much of a plan to continue regular play. I will need to get the Hall fully upgraded (as well as the followers) to get the big money missions, which are giving 2000 gold per hit.

The Rogue

Coosh is on the back burner too now – I keep enough game play on her to keep order resources to keep pumping out gold. I continue to enjoy the Rogue playstyle and World Quests go by quickly. It feels like a management sim right now with Couchon the Boss, staying up to date on the main quest line and latest content and my go to everyday play. Coosh is second in command and Isee is climbing the ranks of middle management. That just leaves my new hire, either my 100 Hunter or my 101 Demon Hunter. They are the closest and will be the next to join the ranks of Couchon Inc. Gold Collection and Free Subscription Provider-er. Spelling error intentional.

The Blog

For some reason my “Blogs that Feed” sidebar is not working on my end – is it working on yours? Everything in the internal setup is pointing to it working correctly and I haven’t changed anything else (and everything is updated.) Let me know if it is showing blogs updating for you. I love it as it keeps me up to date with all the community links that I follow regularly!

It’s nice to be back and writing again. I hope you didn’t miss me too much.

  1. That’s sad about the Caribbean tipping rules. 🙁 We don’t have a big tipping culture here in the UK but it’d be nice to know you could give back in some way.
