Sunday wasn’t too exciting, but we cleared and killed Mug’Zee again and got some tries in on Gallywix.
Tuesday was cut short a bit due our main tank arriving an hour late (as announced), some tries on Gallywix. Not a fun fight.
We managed to get one +10 in on Saturday (then half my team wanted to watch the Eurovision Song Contest) and one on Monday. I ran my weekly Delves and upgraded some gear, iLvl 669 – not bad.

Yeah, of course I couldn’t not try to research this after the other post.
Yes I cheated a little. Since WarcraftRealms.com is down and I only had noted the first appearance for some of my older characters some years ago already, the newer the character, the less exact I can put the date. But I have my list of who was max level in which expansion, that helped a lot, even before looking at individual blog posts, but those only go back to 2009
Also I put all the non-primary characters per class (and faction) in brackets, so there should exactly be 26, but unless I miscounted I forgot exactly one.
So some useless stats:
Unfortunately I couldn’t say I’ve played my Horde toons actively for the last couple years, just bringing some (or most) to the level cap each expansion, or I guess I’d have to celebrate the 20th birthday for some of them this month. Kinda shocking.
How old are my WoW characters, anyway? Read More »
Sunday was uneventful, killed the first 6 with 2 wipes, then 4 good and 1 bad try on Mug’Zee.
Tuesday was just 17 not to great wipes on Mug’Zee for several reasons – me tanking this raid for the first time for a bit only being the cause of maybe 2 of them. Ah well.
Only timed 2 +10s this week, so also nothing to look forward for in the vault (I bet) but tomorrow this magic loot patch is supposed to drop as well, we’ll see.

I had looked up something in my old SWTOR posts (apparently I haven’t played in nearly 3 years, wow) and noticed that I wrote about some goals from time to time. Yes, I think I can say I am very much goal oriented (not all of them are useful or other people’s common goals) and I have checklists and other spreadsheets.
Maybe time to post one for WoW again, I thought, just to promptly forget about this draft from early? April.
Guess I need more goals for May, unless I dial back on WoW, which probably would be a good idea anyway.

Sunday went really well, no wipes on the first six (not even on Bandit), then 5 tries on Mug’Zee, best at 16%.
And then he just died on the third pull on Tuesday, 13ish wipes total, very quick.
Gallywix on the other hand seems to be harder than anticipated, we’ll see how long that will take.
In TWW Season 1 we raided like 17 weeks, killing the penultimate boss only in like week 14 or 15. The last tier of Dragonflight, Amirdrassil, took us 14 weeks, Aberrus took us 12 weeks and Vault of the Incarnates 14 as well.
The Jailer in Season 3 of Shadowlands (Sepulcher) took 22 weeks and Sylvanas in Sanctum also around 20.
And in other news we broke 2500 M+ score this week, which means the Keystone Hero achievement and some transmog options, by timing a couple +10s. I’m just missing 3 of them for the teleport spells now.

I suppose this already counts as “getting it over with”.
It’s Thursday evening and the Blood Elf Priest is 80, and then 4 more are all between 74.0 and 76.25 – Troll Feral Druid, Vulpera Blood DK, Goblin Fury Warrior, Gnome Sub Rogue.
I said I didn’t even want to touch my cadre of BfA Allied Race chars, but if I’m done with this… Maybe a break is in order because with those 4 finished I’d be at 30 (14 Alliance, 16 Horde).
Saturday afternoon and only the Troll Druid had made it to 80, but I also leveled an Earthen Paladin from 10 to 70 with just Exploration XP in 3h (as described in this video, not mine).
And then on Saturday night and Sunday I did level the Gnome Rogue and the Vulpera Blood DK to 80, and the Goblin Warrior is a sliver behind 79. I originally played him with Single-Minded Fury (aka 2 1h weapons) but then I forgot, chose the cookie cutter build and was leveling mostly with 1 2h and 1 1h… and didn’t even notice because of the nice damage, doh.
Anyway, once the Warrior is finished (probably tomorrow), that’s 10 chars from 70 to 80 then in 13 days.
Nearly done with leveling, I guess Read More »
Sunday was a good run, quick work of the first 5, then a couple of tries on One-Armed Bandit with some nice progress.
On Tuesday we killed One-Armed Bandit on the 21st pull, yay.
On the weekend I managed to finish leveling the Kul Tiran Mage and Blood Elf DH to 80, then on Monday finished the Troll Hunter (that I had only started to work on from 70 on the weekend) and the Orc Shaman, with Tauren Druid and Blood Elf Priest on the todo list, together with the Troll Druid from Remix. Total count of 80s is now 24, all classes at least once, and each class on Alliance done. Plus the Tauren Druid before the Tuesday Raid, so 25…

The bonus XP event in WoW is unusual in a way that you’re constantly getting drops of satchels with gear, but it’s a nice bonus. I didn’t really jot down the numbers of how much increase percentagewise it is (with the XP potions), but it’s fast enough.
After 2 nights (and doing other things), I got my 4 toons to 72, 75, 76, 77 – all from 70 (but not necessarily 0% there).
You do get a basically guaranteed epic level-appropriate weapon and a BoA 30 slot bag in your first satchel, so probably worth taking out even those alts I hadn’t planned on playing for a single quest or until the thing drops. And of those characters I have another 10 or so. Oh well.
That invasion event in Hallowfall though? I hardly read about and people told me it was bugged or not exciting and not useful for our mains, but apparently you can get some 630ish gear for alts. Will look at this later, guess I’ll focus on leveling.

So on the Easter weekend we accidentally timed our first +10. I tanked a Cinderbrew +10 and everything went wrong (maybe don’t let someone tank a 10 on their 4th dungeon in the last year) and then I thought we’d do a +9 Rookery, but it was a 10 key, and with me as DPS.. we just did it. Nice. First portal!
And after some bag cleaning on all the alts I dug out my old list and updated which toon has which bags and now I need to go out and grab those easy to get 3 x 34 and 1 x 28 slot bags… many of them.
Oh, and the raid. First 4 in the first hour (3 wipes on Lockenstock), then a Stix rekill on the third pull, then we called it early. One-Armed Bandit will be hard, but we’re finally stopping to do Normal now next week.

As it’s the Easter weekend, no Sunday raid is planned.
But leading up to the weekend we mixed things up a bit with me tanking M+. Only did one each of +7/8/9 but at least we got the two lower ones in time and the last one wasn’t strictly my fault. We’ll see how this continues. And then I tried healing on the Shaman. Still in meh gear, but it works, in very low keys at least.
Also got the Horde Rogue and Blood Elf Warlock and Alliance Evoker to 80, that’s 20 done and 12 missing, if I count all 70s, but I guess I shouldn’t. Only 5-6 on the two servers I actually play on.
On Wednesday we’re supposed to get an XP buff for a month, so I already prepared a couple more characters that I had a) planned to level next and b) held off this week – Kul Tiran Mage, Tauren Druid, Orc Shaman, and Blood Elf Demon Hunter, so the last remaining Alliance class and 3 of the 4 remaining Horde ones (Priest is last, and Evoker is missing). They were mostly in terrible 350ish gear, but the Shaman in 220 seems to have skipped the whole of DF, I probably leveled her with either Archaeology or the Caverns of Time anniversary event.
And yeah, apparently right now I’m in a bit of a WoW spree, but also many vacation days.
