Small Wins

 I like farming rares and Honorbound Service Medals now that I can solo them for the most part. I am always happy when someone jumps in on the ones with million+ health, though. It's nice to get little drops (pets, toys, the occasional mount) fairly often and breaks up the more tedious grinds. I was happy to get the bear in Darkshore this week! Although I'm a bit disappointed his mount special isn't a little dance. At least I'll always have my Darkmoon Faire bear.

 I got the donkey in Arathi last week, and I was pretty pleased with that, too, although I still prefer my bouncy alpaca for ground travel. 

But the biggest surprise this week happened while I was working the Kirin Tor emissary for my Nightborne rep token. I always do whatever Kirin Tor quests are in Suramar so that I get Nightborne rep as well, and this time the only quest was the Arcway dungeon quest. I've run it dozens of times any time it comes up during Nightborne/Kirin Tor emissary weeks and I'm pretty used to clearing it and vendoring all the drops at the end (or dropping Jeeves if my bag management was poor that week). 

But this time, I was surprised to get a Tome of Hex: Spider. Even though I didn't anticipate using it instead of the Compy one I already have, I was still amazed to actually get something new in an expansion-old dungeon during the endless slog for the Nightborne flying carpet. And I will never get tired of hexxed mobs-now-critters wielding tiny spears menacingly.

 

 

Toys on Parade

I've been farming the toys/pets/mounts each week in Arathi Highlands/Darkshore, but this is my favorite so far. I was bored waiting on a rare in Mechagon and discovered that the ogre head stacks with other costumes while going through the toy box. The green tint is from the irradiated shirt Rocksy's wearing. There's a pet to collect from it, but the shirt goes away and I'm kind of fond of the green so I haven't done it yet.

And it was also fun to use on my Druid while I waited for the Uldum alpaca.
