No, I haven’t died although I’ve had the worst cold I’ve had in a long time for that last week. You know the saying “First you were afraid you’d die, then you were afraid you wouldn’t”? That pretty much sums up how I’ve been feeling. I’m on the mend now though and have spent the last few days just pottering in WoW.

Up to now Dimity has been a miner and skinner and I decided to take the plunge and power-level her with enchanting and jewelcrafting. Enchanting wasn’t so bad, I DE’d everything I made with jewelcrafting and sent my mage on a few massacre runs of Deadmines and Scarlet Monastery; in addition a guildie was power levelling his leatherworking so I bought all the greens he made off him. Today I had to spend a couple of hundred gold on Dream Dust and Illusion Dust but hit 300 enchanting today.

Jewelcrafting was a bit more of a slog. I used a power-levelling guide that was on the WoW forums but it was a little out-of-date. The worst was when it said I needed 210 thorium bars. My mining Druid hit the Burning Steppes and went round and round and round until I had enough. I smelted it and put it all in the mail only to realise after I actually needed less than 1/3 of that amount. What is really annoying is that I’m stuck at 296 because I can’t get hold of Huge Emeralds for love nor money. If I hadn’t smelted all the thorium I maybe could have prospected it to get some *sighs*

In other new Ravenwynd got a nice gear boost last night. She went on a guild Kara run and we did a full clear. In addition to 22 badges she got Uni-Mind Headdress, Brooch of Unquenchable Fury, Spectral Band of Innervation, Ring of Recurrence and The Lightning Capacitor. Not a bad haul!
