YETI YETI YETI


That's the call of the yeti, leading the Necrolords' charge into Perdition Hold. He has resting roar face.
TRANQUIL MECHANICAL YETI, FULFILL YOUR DESTINY!

 

 EDIT TO ADD:

I don't know what this Sinrunner did in his past life that was so terrible, but I think this trip just wiped his slate clean.

Spirits Be With You

 

It's boring waiting for Tahonta, so I was trying out some more mounts with the Ashen Liniment. It turns out Spirit of Eche'ro looks way ghostlier when splattered with black goop. Especially in the dark. Full light it showed a bit more, especially against the ground

I still prefer Tyrael's Charger, especially today while cosplaying the Angel of Death while defending Bastion. I fit in so well with The Ascended, they probably didn't even notice I was a Necrolord.

Throwing Down the Gauntlet(s)


 I've been trying to figure out what ability this is for awhile now, when it was just one or two of my fist weapons that I'd notice trotting up to me after killing something. I combed through my combat log, looking for some ability named "Idle Hands" or "Handy Helpers" or "Fists of Fury" (okay, that one's a Monk spell) or "Grappling Gauntlets" (okay, that's a pet drop) or even "Gloves Are Off" (okay, that's enough). Near as I can figure, it's a soulbind spell called Serrated Spaulders*, which doesn't even make sense, because spaulders are shoulders not gloves, so IDK. Although I would love to see my Sprite Darter wings dancing around enemies. 

The best part is that in Torghast, I use Stormkeeper a lot, and I noticed that hitting a group of vases with Chain Lightning makes a bunch of fist weapons appear, which is just delightful. I hope next time I get the "Stormkeeper every 15 seconds" power. It reminds me a lot of running Icecrown with Nibelung.

I also took some time to get my new mount for non-flyable areas from playing Hearthstone. I spent a ridiculous amount of time today running around Korthia on this guy trying to get in front of someone on the Sunwarmed Furline mount so I could get a screenshot of my mount in mortal peril, but I didn't bother to explain why I was chasing them and they wisely avoided me by porting to Oribos. So this will have to do.

*EDIT:  It's actually Mneumonic Equipment! Another soulbind. That makes much more sense now.

Keep Me Searching for a Heart of Gold

♫And I'm getting old♫

Pureheart Courser

Okay, so it doesn't seem like that long ago that I started trying to get to 100 exalted reputations so that I could get this beautiful boy, but it sure feels like it. And surprisingly, my post about trying to get this mount was one year ago today! http://goblinglidertouring.blogspot.com/2020/11/more-farming-fun.html

I've been working on The Avowed rep grind, but I didn't realize getting to Tier 6 with The Archivists' Codex would count as an exalted rep, so I was super happy when this happened. 

EDIT:
I was so excited to get the 100th exalted rep that I forgot to take a screenshot with the mount I got right beforehand, this good girl:

Maelie the Wanderer
I'm really going to have to put the stables back up at my garrison so I can check in more often with my favorite mounts. I had run into Maelie a couple of times randomly while questing in Korthia, but eventually I found out that the comments on her Wowhead page list where she is or if she can be found each day, so I'd been checking impatiently for the last few days to finally get her.

Not Yet

The Ashen Liniment I picked up in Korthia makes Tyrael's Charger look like the Angel of Death. I tried out several mounts with the buff, but this was my favorite.
Also, the drop rate for the Bonehoof Tauralus is even worse than I thought. I have Neena with me daily and I even remember (most of the time) to have her loot for me instead of throwing my loot-a-rang. But I'm still pretty sure I'm never going to get that mount that I don't even want for any reason other than:

  1. It's close by
  2. I leveled my Abomination Factory
  3. I collected Neena

And even if the mount isn't worth the amount of work required to get it, at least it will be something in return for the hassle.  It does give me a chance to try out toys and clean out my bags while I'm just standing around, though.
