*SQUEEE*


 I adore her. I had named her even before she was available and checked to see if the goal was met every time I opened the launcher. 


The Sprite Darter Wings kind of block her on my Night Elf Druid, but they work perfectly on Rocksy.

It's okay, Pepe. I don't get it, either, but it doesn't matter, it just works.

"OMG..For Real??? 'Cause...

Hey, I Just Met You...


..two floors before now. I'm kinda busy...and I hate your aura, pal." 


EDIT:  Stupid song is stuck in my head now and I have to finish this (from the beginning):
 
 (1)
"I want this run to be through, 'cause I've got quests left to do,
A couple pet battles, too. Hey, you're in my way!
Just want to get some good spells, so that this run won't be hell,
Give me an anima cell, and I'll be on my way.
(2)
'kay? I guess you like me? I'm..really busy fighting..
Here, have some chain lightning,
*Sigh* I should be finished with this.
(3)
<Hey, I just met you..two floors before now. 
I'm kinda busy, and I hate your aura, pal.>
(4)
It's hard to focus..keeps switching to you
So I'll just cast hex, then clear the last few.

Clever Girl

-OR-

She Can Dance if She Wants To


 I haven't been keeping up with the Shadowlands chores very well, but I managed to get partway through Torghast recently before I had to step away for a moment. I typed /dance as I went AFK and was shocked to see my Ghost Raptor had learned a new trick! After looking it up, I found that raptors had learned to dance in BfA, but it took me until now to notice. I'm proud of my raptor, but disappointed in myself for the long lapse in impromptu dancing.

Fun With Necromancy

I really wanted to joint the Revendreth covenant for several reasons:

  1. Their accent makes it sound like they are calling me "Mall Walker"
  2. The Dredgers say things like "Can I have your teeth when you die?"
  3. I enjoyed a lot of the questing there so far, like the tea party with Tubbins and Gubbins, and forging the "Letter of Condemnation"

 But in the end I chose the Necrolords for the Primordial Wave Shaman spell. I'm sure it will be fun, too (I'm particularly excited to try out the Abomination Factory), and I will still spend time with the Venthyr whenever I get the chance.

 


Questing to get to max level took me forever, so maybe that's why I seemed to enjoy the quests at the end the most, but I did like this Night Fae quest that had my character fly around doing the swimming animation while holding her breath like she was underwater:

♫Just keep swimming♫

Just Had to Try It

Someone had to. It's a beautiful view, and it doesn't kill you, just ports you back up to safety, so I'm sure I'll be doing this a lot more once I replace my cloak and can finally use my engineering glider again instead of keeping stacks of Goblin Glider Kits.

Why Am I Even Here?


 I was disappointed to learn that I hadn't been called to to the Argent Tournament Grounds because of my status as a jousting Champion. Yeah, I can just kill Scourge, but where's the fun in that? The rack of lances is still there, the mounts are still there, what gives?

 


Upon getting the Sprite Darter's Wings, I immediately logged on every character to put together a transmog. Unfortunately, the characters that I left in Legion still have their artifacts equipped, so I had to go to their order halls in order to change the artifact's appearance. Khadgar is still in Hindsight's Order Hall, "trying something new" and generally making it difficult to evaluate my outfit.

More Farming Fun


 

While farming the Nightborne carpet on an alt, I took a flight path from Dalaran, which puts you on a favorite flyable mount, and I was delighted to discover that unicorns had magically acquired the ability to fly in the pre-patch! Then I had to look through all the different models to see which one best matched each outfit, and discovered a beautiful blue one that I didn't have. The Pureheart Courser is a reward for 100 exalted reputations, and I was only at 65. I started going through my revered reps to bring them up to exalted, and I'm now at 69. All my revered reps will only bring me to 73 and I'll still have 27 to go, so I think this will be a long-term project, but at least it gives me something to work on. 

I'm a couple Throne of Thunder raid bosses away from exalted on Shado-Pan Assault, but this also gives me a chance to try to get the snail shell toy, and I got to meet this guy finally:

I was excited to finally meet/fight Ra-den on my elemental shaman, so that was pretty cool. I also took advantage of the Magic Broom from Hallow's End to zip around Ordon Sanctuary and get exalted with Emperor Shaohao. Then I had more than enough Timeless Coins to buy the Heavenly Golden Cloud Serpent.

                                                                                                   ***************************

My brother mentioned that reps were account-wide now, which I had somehow missed. If Rocksy had been my main all along, it wouldn't have mattered, but my Druid was my original main and has a lot of the early reps that Rocksy doesn't. They are also different factions, and the reps that are different for Horde/Alliance count as one, so I ended up having to make a spreadsheet to figure out which reps I needed on which character, and it was way more confusing than I thought it would be to figure out which one counts as what on the other side. I think I've got it pretty well figured out now, though, and I'm going to be playing my Druid a lot for a while. I'm glad I made the spreadsheet, or I would have been really confused when I got a rep to exalted and it didn't increase my count because Ezriann already had it or the equivalent one.
