Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

Happy 4th of July everyone.  I managed to get on after all the days festivities to do my argent dawn quests.  Hope everyone had as nice of day as I did.

Finally had a chance to do a full site backup and upgrade to WP2.8.  I think I’ve tested everything, but please let me know if you find any issues!

I got on a little earlier today and finished out my gnome faction in the Argent Tournament.  Now all I need to do is take care of the Night Elves, and the Dreanei.  I’m still only 30% through revered on their faction so I have a ways to go on that one.

When I got back on this evening the guild was putting together a 10man OS.  We ended up going with 7 to do the Less is more achivement.  It went pretty well, only a few accidental deaths which I’ll take full blame for.  Got the achivement though and no wipes or anything bad like that

Before I logged for the evening I finally remembered to get go get an Egg.  I haven’t had one in a while, though it isn’t like I’m missing anything.  I can’t recall how man eggs I’ve hatched now but I would say 80% of them were yolk.

I hope everyone has a Happy 4th of July tomorrow!

I had a bad headache this afternoon and ended up lying down for a while.  I was up so I thought I’d try to do something entertaining.  No raids going on or anything so I ended up continuing my midsummer fun.  I finished collecting all of the northrend flowers(and gold) and that put me over the top!

When we esentially got to double our flowers due to the reset I figured I’d be able to afford both the Captured Flame and the Brazier of Dancing Flames.  I didn’t have any interest in it till I actually looked it up on wowhead and saw how cool it was.  Not only does it look nifty, she responds to your emotes.  I needed another item to keep track of like a hole in the head but she was just too cool to pass up.

Right when I logged in I threw myself in the 25man OS LFG and got an immediate invite for a raid that just wanted one more healer.  Why I don’t know they always take way too many healers to OS.  We tried one drake up and to my disappointment we didn’t get to do it.  One of the guys I knew was in the raid and he was telling me our DPS was just too low.  After we killed Sarth he dropped a staff I had never seen him drop before.  It was the Staff of Restraint, and I was currently using Damnation. Now I haven’t made many big mistakes on loot in my life, but I rolled on the staff because when I hovered over it I read rating buster shows a small loss in HP and crit, but a gain in mana and regen, I read the regen number wrong though.  I thought it said 20, when in fact it was 2 :\  I didn’t notice this till much later in the evening, after I enchanted the thing too.  Funny thing was, under the old regen model it probably would have been that much of a difference.  I was the only roller, but an offspec might have been able to use it.  Just so I feel better I’ll assume no one wanted it I’d say they are pretty close to even, but to be honest the Staff of Restraint looks more priestly, less evil   Oh well you live and learn

After that I did my fire dailies, I almost have enough for the braizer now.  I also watched some horde make a run at our fire.

Then I talked a few guildies in going and doing Ahune.  It was just 3 of us, so we got 4 attempts but no pet of course.  Curse him!
