Already?

In a big surprise, Nialedd, my Demon Hunter, reached 60 just before week 3 started. I was definitely not planning that, but there where reasons.

First, for someone whose primary objective is raiding, there is almost no other endgame. I did some Mythics, but M+ is not for me, as said many times before. PvP is something I try to completely avoid. So Mardah is now basically doing some weekly stuff on Wednesday, and some daily stuff, like miss..rr..adventures and emiss...rr..callings.

So last week, Mardah was mostly done after an hour or two, and I started levelling some alts. The main reason Nialedd made it to 60 as first alt, is leatherworking. I need a piece of leather boots for the Leggo I am going to make next Thursday. 

Nialedd follows Kyrian

I also used the Path of Faith option for Nialedd, and random dungeons actually give a decent amount of XP, so, between dungeons, doing some worldquests and stuff, 60 was reached  quit easily... maybe my Tankadin, who is 55, will follow soon, that one is actually doing the normal route, think he is in Maldraxxus on the third sword.

On the profession side, Mardah is max JC and Enchanting, Nialedd is max Skinning and LW, and my little noam rogue can make the missives. Oh, Lurche is max tailoring because cloth drops everywhere for everyone.

The first week in the afterlife

Smooth.

That's how it went this week. I didn't experience big problems or lags anywhere. I did heard some horrorstories from other realms, but Argent Dawn - EU seemed to have no problems.

Explosive entrée into the maw

Last Tuesday at midnight, Mardah stepped into the Maw, and an hour later she was in Oribos. Next day she continued and before I set foot in Bastion, she was 51. In the next two nights she did all the quests she could find, and ended up in Revendreth with 82% to go till 60. That was quickly reached the next evening, after which I found out that she had to finish the whole main story line before continiung...which lasted almost 4 hours.

So after dinging 60, I still had to play 4 hours to really start 'The End Game'. I'd better not do any sidequests on alts I guess. After choosing Night Fae, the next day was mostly spend in Torghast and in normal and heroic dungeons.

Mardah finishing Night Fae

Mardah had no problem in Thorgast, except the last boss in Upper Reaches Layer 3, utterly destroyed by him... oh well, I guess I don't need those 85 ashes, I can play slow. One thing, I did try this before starting Heroics, so maybe later in the week.

I started adventures, and here is an Important Tip, no where it says you can actually use your minor troops more often. It seems like you only have 1 of each (for NF that is a dps and a healer), but there are infinte minor troops. Just put troops in every slot!

The maw itself is boring, Thorgast is fun, but the maw itself is just..mweeeh... I will try to skip that as much as possible.

There is a mushroom network in Ardenwaeld!

Beam me up, Scotty.

Sunday was Mythic day, yes, on Sunday we already had guildgroups doing M0, before Tuesday evening I finished 6 of 8, and Mardah was sitting at Ilvl 171.

There is this Turtle that you have to feed directly under the Bastion place. It will drop an eternal Shard, which normally only comes from disenchanting purples, of which you need alot for Enchanting... so..my alt-army plus some more went through the maw and to Bastion to get this free shard.

Mardah is no Jewelcrafting 100 and Enchanting 100...of 115.. at least it is not Alchemy which has to go to 175.. why is that all over the place? My Tailor is already max on 100 due to all the cloth Mardah gets. Nialled is farming leather like hell and still isn't 70 of 115? That's all a ..well.. also..Darkmoon Faire this Sunday for free skillpoints.

The Eternal Shard Turtle

Also..the Maw intro is not skippable... why... it takes about 70 minutes minimum to actually open the portal to Bastion because of the endless RP going on... 

Tuesday Evening, Mardah went back to Upper Layer 3, both for a worldquest, and to look if she could take down the endboss with her shinier gear. Making sure to pick up as many ST-extras along the way, to burn him down before his stacks got to high.

Mardah engaged the endboss... and basically obliterated him... and that's when I noticed this was not the same endboss as Friday...so those change to.... rrrright

I now have started week 2, something about a garden, not getting my best Legendary, more champions, more renown... yeeeesh...all the different currencies...
