I’ve continued my busy streak this week, tidying up loose ends:

Netherwing Exalted

I mentioned that I was using far sight to scout the Netherwing mines out for eggs – one time I managed to far sight outside of existance! I think I centred my far sight a little too high and ended up seeing the  mines from outside of the 3d-space.  Somewhat cool – I could see the crust burster mobs loller-skating underneath the ground.  As you can also see from this screenshot (randomly at the same time), Softi got her mount! Big gratz, Softimoo!

After spending about 4 days grinding eggs, and nearly giving up when it got to stupid-o’clock on the last day, a lucky streak of finds and drops brought me to the eggs I needed to grab exalted Netherwing.  I was so tired I knew I wouldn’t enjoy getting my ‘little ding’ there and then, so I played the delayed-gratification game and left the last egg until I logged in the next morning.

I’m pretty sure we killed this guy, but apparently he’s still hanging out in Black Temple, and now expecting the Dragonmaw Commander to bring him my carcass.  Oh well, sucks to be him.  *ahem* In all honesty, I really do miss Black Temple. Nostalgia is really setting in for ‘the good old TBC days’.  Loving my tbc-style netherdrake, too:

Hordeside Inclinations

Look, Ma, I’m a tauren! I sent a little note to a player who had a mulgore hatchling listed on the auction house – the second I’d tried – and asked if she’d be willing to trade her hatchling for any of the Alliance pets, as I have some seals spare, now.  I got a message back saying she was and only a few hours later was the proud owner of a [Mulgore Hatchling]! On Bloodhoof the horde-side pets are rarely going for anything under 5k gold on the Alliance auction house (and the neutral one!) so I was rather happy to be able to trade – I’ve set myself an amount for spending on pets and that was far and away more than my limit.

I have always been a Tauren at heart, and I miss my horde characters, so having both my kodo and hatchling is soothing to that side of me.  Tauren in spirit, if not in form.

Whelp!

After 15 levels of grinding whelps, a total of 3884 whelpling kills, I finally got one.  I honestly thought the bugger was never going to drop and had resigned myself to moving on if I reached level 50 without getting one.  Cue a great deal of squeeing and joy in guild chat (and real life…heh).  I don’t know if I will have the stamina to go back and try for the other two for a while, but the joy of grinding them far outweighs that of just buying them, so I will, no doubt, eventually subject myself to that particular grind again.

It’ll be odd to actually quest on my priest again – I’ve barely done any so far, just under 200 at level 47.  Outlands in 11 levels.  I think I can manage that…
