10 Blood Elf Paladin, Jewelcrafting
So, I gave in and made my 3rd bank toon a Jewelcrafter. Since she's level 10, she'll be able to advance Jewelcrafting to 150, but no further until I commit to playing her to 20.
Prospecting turns out to be a skill learned a few levels into your Jewelcrafting training, instead of right away when you become a Jewelcrafter. Level 20? 30? Somewhere in that range. It takes a stack of 5 ore and destructs them in exchange for green+ gems which you can then use with a Jeweler's Kit to craft necklaces and rings.
Whoa man, am I burning through copper ore and bars. Stacks and stacks of it... easily 8 stacks (160 ores), and I've done very very little prospecting (25 ore worth). I'm at skill level 48 right now, and can make a variety of +1 and +2 jewelry boosting agility, spirit, intelligence or strength. They're all designed for mid-teen level toons. I don't know if they'll sell for anything at all over their vendor price, but seeing that the weekend is coming up, I'll let you know how it goes.
21 Undead Priest, Questing Solo
Back in The Barrens again after a rest in Undercity doubling as a Small Silk Sack hawker. I'm now at Tailoring 206, and I was back up to 80% rested when I headed back to Crossroads at level 20. Knocking off a few easy peasy green quests first in Silverpine and then in Ratchet and Crossroads has bumped me up to 21. I'm 1/3 the way to 22 and still have 40% rest bonus to spend, so I should make it to 22 before my next rest stop.
Then again, I'm going away for 4 days as of tomorrow morning, so by the time I get back I'll have a bunch more rest bonus to spend on all my toons. I can't keep up with spending the rest bonus on this many toons, it's great!
Karma points in a Party
I partied briefly with someone in Silverpine when we were both going after Rothide Ichor, and while it wasn't a horrible experience, I did have to snicker afterwards - he (toon was he, who knows if he was a she or a he) was a level 14 Shaman, I, a level 20 Priest, and we were killing level 15 and 16 beasts (in other words, minimal healing needed, I was DPSing and casting the occasional Renew, and my DPS was contributing more to each kill). One green item dropped, we both rolled greed, and I won it. He proceeds to talk about the buddy he could have sent that to. While I did give him the level 13 +2 spirit cloak, remember that "Karma" addon I talked about using? Yah, he got dinged down five points, and I wrote brief notes to remind myself why, too.
I Love The Auction House
Between all my toons, I now have over 300g from selling "under level 40%26#8243; things in the Auction House. How many weeks ago was it that I had spent all my money getting my Blacksmith through the Armorsmithing quests? I love the AH!
But for now it's time to deal with some RL interruptions to WoW...
