The Miracle Worker


This week I'm working on opening my 50th paragon box from the Nightborne, and I'm not holding my breath expecting it to contain a flying carpet. Instead, I was thinking about the first time I saw my Withered troops do this ^. I thought I was doing such a great job of teaching them that they had learned chain lightning like proper Shamans-in-training. I was so proud! Then I unlocked Withered training with my Warlock and got to the point that they were using spells, and, lo and behold, they still cast chain lightning. Oops.


Although maybe I can take credit for this? I have no idea where they learned to line up like this, I've never seen it before.

The best recent event, though, marks the end of visiting Argus for any reason ever again. I finally got Blistermaw's mount! The "Found after 6 attempts!" is adorable, I just love losing my addons and starting all over again fresh. Of course, it would be better if it could erase the memories of the first 40-50 attempts in my mind so I could be surprised and delighted, too. Although delight is a bit much, this mount is ugly as sin and really only worth having for the count.

Cozy Camprire

 

Rares in Darkshore pop up so quickly the corpses don't even fade out before they reappear. I thought I'd sit and pose for pictures while I waited, but when I checked my screenshots I saw that I'd caught Gren Tornfur mid-respawn, and apparently his eyes are first to arrive. So ominous!

I only have one mount left to get in Darkshore, all the toys, and multiples of the pets. I'm still farming the tokens, through, and probably will be for a long time. I've bought the toy, pet, and cheaper mount, but 750 medals for the bat will take quite a while. 

I've also been taking advantage of the 100% rep buff to grind paragon boxes with the Nightfallen. During the last Darkmoon Faire I opened two paragon boxes in a day and one the next day. No carpet. I'm up to 45 attempts but I keep reminding myself that at least I don't have to wait for a holiday to have a shot at the mount. Eventurally I will have the mount and I will never, ever, ever, ever, EVER return to Suramar again.
