Mining for the Vial / Deathwing torches Uldum / Kara solo run

Been a crazy week. So much to talk about. First off, I got 26k in the bank. Yes, you heard me right! And I got it LEGIT! 😀
I’m now mining in Uldum. I got Mining up to 525, and selling Elementium and Pyrite ores in the AH. How I got to this point? Well..

There’s a guy, who plays mainly girl chars. His name is BoBo. One day, I was in the GS Inn (aka Heol’s Inn), talking about how awesome the vial is. BoBo, who trolls GS, told me it’s a waste of money. But one day, challenged me and Heol to get the vial before he did. I knew he would get it first, because he knows alot of legit secrets to get lots of money.
I kept trying my plans. One is to continue where Troy left off on my Druid. He got my Druid’s Alch to TBC maxed. I got it up to Cata maxed, with Herbalism and tried to sell his goods. He sometimes gets pretty good tips, but mostly crappy ones.

BoBo and even Heol suggested I get my Mining up. My Tauren Hunter was the only one at the time that had mining, but now I do. At first, I panicked when the ores didn’t sell. But now I’ve developed a nearly surefire way that they sell everytime. Keep the price in and around 70g per stack. But even without mining, my guild bank’s money began to fill up. I had 12k before. Then 14k. Then 17k. … Now I got up to 26k, and I’m not done yet.
BoBo did get the vial before I did, which was obvious. But he proved to me that you can get it without buying gold. He said that I could save up to 10k if I bought the mats for the vial, and knows a friend of his that can make it. But I need 37k for everything.

Anyways, moving the blog post along. I was mining last night with my Druid in GS. The sky suddenly changed to a red color and I heard this unique sound. I knew what was about to happen, so I posted “Ohh fuck. Deathwing incoming!!” in General chat, mounted up and tried to find him for the achievement.
Around the Obelisk of The Sun, I saw him burning the area, and flew right over to him. Second I touched him, boom, got the achievement.
After then, General chat started to become active with people asking “where?!”. When I got to my corpse, the entire area was ablaze. Respawned, flew up and followed the trail of fiery destruction left over by Deathwing. The capital city of Uldum, Ramkahen, was on fire. It was so wild. About three minutes later, the fire disappeared as the sky went back to normal. When I landed, I saw bodies everywhere. Alot of people got the achievement.

For the third blog post topic, about 4-5 days ago, Terlarer wanted to do Kara, and wanted me to come. He told me that he could solo the entire raid, so I was curious.
And solo’d he did. Had some trouble with Netherspite, but got it done. On the 26th, I planned to do my own run with my Druid. I needed my Druid to make it a raid group, and to help me do the Chess Event. Had alot of fun. I soloed every boss… except for Netherspite. Tried everything I could think of. You’re supposed to keep the healing beam off of him during the nether portal phase. But the thing is, it puts a cooldown on you for three minutes, that you can’t adsorb the beam.
In other words.. the fight was pointless, and next to impossible. My Druid tried to make me remember that this boss is optional; not needed to be killed to continue further through. So we continued ’till we hit the Chess Event. Another failure. :-/
You got to keep the king healed, yet you can’t heal yourself. And everytime that bastard cheated, he won.
It reminds me of playing TSO, of trying to do the Diner job on my own. Another having to think quickly minigame, that I fail so hard at.
The reason I did the run was to prove two things to me; 1. To do it. And 2. For the high sell BoP drops.

Still, I loved the Opera area. This time, I did the Wizard of Oz event. Was hilarious, and I killed all of them with no problems. And then having to dodge the tornado during the witch battle. I wanted to do the Big Bad Wolf one. THAT was hilarious. “All the better to own you with!”
