Upon hitting level 80, I realized I haven’t done any Argent Crusade or Ebon Blade quests. I put off getting these tabards for a very long time and I had hit Exaulted with the Kirin Tor as well as Wyrmrest Accord a long time ago. I haven’t been wearing a tabard for months and today I finally hit that Friendly mark with the Argent Crusade and bought the tabard required to gain reputation with them within heroics. Now this isn’t really a new thing for me, but seeing the “You have gained XX reputation with…” popping all over my SCT during a heroic again is rather refreshing. They don’t feel so pointless anymore. I don’t have any alts to give BoA gear to nor do I need any of the gear myself with the Emblems of Heroism so badges aren’t really something I would do heroics for. Now comes the grind of getting Argent Crusade up to Exalted as well as finally acquiring the Ebon Blade tabard. On another matter, I finally got enough Battleground ‘marks’ to obtain my Black War Mount! I hated deciding which one to get, since getting 30 of each took some time I had to be careful of my decision. I finally decided upon the Black Warstrider (:
Yay for Burdz?
I must say, I’ve never had a Hawkstrider mount of any kind before and I have fallen in love with this one. Their animations are a refresher and something new aside from my Undead horse and Large Mammoth. In my opinion, the worst battleground to get these marks from was Alterac Valley, not many people seem to do this at 80 anymore.
I have had some luck as of late gear wise on my characters as well! My priest has gotten The Impossible Dream, and her Valorous Robe of Faith. I was very happy to get these two items, now all I need to get is my tier 7.5 shoulders! Dreams seem impossible sometimes. /sigh Anyways, my hunter also got two pieces of deadly gladiator from Vault today, pretty exciting times. I have also been trying to quest to gain some gold to get my epic flying mount training. My priest doesn’t have a very good way to make money so questing is just about the only option I have. Right now I sit at about 2.2k gold..Hopefully within a week or two I will be able to purchase the amazing flight speed of epic proportions! -dundundun!!- Until next time, my WoW life seems rather boring as I finish this up. -shrug-
Thought I would drop by and say hi since you made wsg quite pleasant tonight! Epic flight is horrible to farm for, but I am lucky that I have a miner, so I just mined mats and kept getting titansteel weapons crafted and up on the AH until I reached what I needed. Unfortunately, the price is dropping now, so I don’t think it’s viable for money now. Good thing 3.1 is going to be bringing new titansteel pieces that can be crafted!!
P.S. I agree—-the warstrider is by far the best pvp reward mount!! Even if I do get a little nudge of nostalgia when I use my AV wolf.
