Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

Well on a very fitting day (Valintines day) I finally finished off all of the Love is in the Air achievements.  It was not without some hardship that is for sure.  For some reason the super rare achievements came easy, the candy names did not   Here is me crying because yet another sack of candy didn’t complete me.

All in all it took me 4 sacks of Candy, in which two of those sacks I got over the course of 8 hours this morning as I kept trying every hour in between house work.  At least I finished it all out and don’t have to worry about it now

Inien was over to help me with a project.  After he left I got on and decided I wasn’t sleepy so I did the heroic daily which was Nexus.  If you look closely in this picture you’ll notice the skunk with the heart over his head.  That was my skunk and he was doing something I’ve never seen before.  One of the other group members had a cat out and he was chasing it around everywhere, then he gets a broken heart, stops for a sec and does it all over again.  I’ve never seen that before so either no one has ever got out a cat at the same time as my skunk or it something for this holiday?

After that I was going to go over and fish in the basin as I’m getting low but stopped to finish a quest in Icecrown.  Funny thing about quests, some times you just can’t stop   I ended up following this chain to completion instead of fishing.  While I was working in the flesh works area I found this escort.  I thought it was funny because he appears to be wearing Tier4 with Benediction.

The whole chain ends up with you killing this big ugly guy and the Lich King comes out to mock you first. They were really serious when they meant they wanted him in your face.  I certainly have met him enough.  He is bound to know my name by now!

I got on this evening and attempted to work on the Love is in the Air achievements.  My first barrier I ran into on that was the constant tells from everyone who remotely knew me to come do some version of Naxx with them.  I continued to run around to the different capital cities doing some of the activities.  I was just about to say screw it to the whole thing when I hit a string of the more rare achievements.    I have ended up with the black dress, the Picknick Basket, and the Truesilver Shafted Arrow (the flying goblin pet).   I thought well now I got all the hard ones I need to do the other ones now

I had checked the Heroic Daily while I was doing the cooking daily and noticed it was HoS.  I had been in the LFG for it while I was doing the holiday work.  Eventually I got a tell from someone and annoyed with the holiday stuff joined them.  He apparently had carefully crafted our group, as he was after some of the HoS achievements.  He had more achievement points than I had ever seen at just over 6200.   I can’t remember his name off the top of my head I’ll have to look it up in Karma.  Anyways we managed 2 of the tree HoS achievements one of which I hadn’t got.  The one on the last guy is really hard time time with the Oozes.  The bigger part of destiny again was the Rose dropped and yes I won it

So I did a lot of standing in front of people again following the stupid hearts, trying to manage the stupid number of things in my inventory to make all the crap.  Again I did this till I was about crazy and then put myself up for a 10 man OS. I was invited into one after a little bit.  The guy kind of annoyed me because after he invited me he told me that he was going to armory me and make sure I was good enough.  We did it easy enough as usual they bring too many healers 2 is enough everyone always brings 3   Oh and on this run I won the Majestic Dragon Figurine to replace my Spark of Life.  I didn’t really need the extra spell haste I have so much and it seemed given the randomness of the Spark that it would give me more mana regen.  When we were done they tried to get me to go to Naxx.  I went back to my achievements.

By the end of the evening I was close to done with all of them.  I even managed to get one of the Bag of Candies and got 5 of the 10 names you need.  I went all over to Pity the fool as seen here in this shot.  I heard a tank I’ve grouped with quite a bit starting up a 25 man Vault and joined up for that for another break.

While I was in Wintersgrasp I went by and got my Mammoth I kept forgetting to get with my shards.  I had more than plenty and you even get an achievement for it which I didn’t realize   We finished up the Vault which dropped all plate and mail gear as easily as usual and I finished up for the night.

I logged with having completed every achievement of the holiday except the ridiculous candy.  I intend to log in tomorrow every hour to at least try for it then while I’m doing my house work.
