Another “I thought this day would never come” post. Well, really I did think this day wouldn’t come. I just didn’t feel like I would ever get it.. I almost nearly didn’t get it.
BUT I DID!!! 😀 And I’m really enjoying my new Dragon Form. Now, it wasn’t worth the time I put into it, and the grief I had to endure. But I’m glad it’s finally over. And what’s even better? I got the vial, legit. I had almost given up trying, or thought of… buying the gold to get the 40k to get it. But I’m glad I didn’t. It was my Druid who convinced me to not go down that dark road again.
I had a whopping 31k in one time of my WoW life. BoBo used his guild’s Bartering buff to lower the price on two of the most pricy mats of making the vial, and said all I would need is 6k more and it’s mine. Well, for some time, I thought all I needed was just 6k. But I kept forgetting I need 6k + the 5k left over from the 31k, to give me 11k.
Yesterday, I was a bit leary if I should mine at all, hearing what Heol said that Uldum mining is pretty bad due to competition on the weekend. But BoBo suggested I just go on and try. Since I was bored as hell, I did, and from what I saw, the only real competition was the bots. So I continued my mining, getting an idea in my head to reduce the “UGH! This is TAKING FOREVER!!” feeling, by getting my small 20 slot mining bag all filled up with Elementium, get to the AH, sell, repeat.
By the third sell, I had my 11k. So I hurried to the AH and looked at the Truegold. And my anger level shot up along with the price. It went up 60s overnight! According to Trade chat, this is due to Blacksmiths having more things to make. That damn Supply and Demand shit. But… I closed my eyes and started to hit the Buyout button 12 times, got the bars, and bought the 8 flasks I needed. Noticed I still had money left over, freaked out and told BoBo. I now have all the mats to make the vial!
He started searching around for someone to make it for me, and found one, but was getting ready to do a ZA run. Told me to PM the guy, so I did. He said he should be done in an hour and he will make the vial no problem. But there was another problem. One directly heading for Goldshire. So I went back, told my Druid, and we waited.
A half an hour later, I decided to run out and saw BoBo talking to a few people. Chatted with them. And then they came. About 15-20 flagged Horde enter Heol’s Inn and start to grief up the place. Me and my Druid quickly evacuated to my safe area incase of an emergency like this. And while people and General chat nearly begging for people to help kill the Horde, I continued to wait for the guy to PM me, but I knew it would take a bit longer, since my Pyrite sales haven’t shown up.
When I was still in SW, my Pyrite sold about three minutes before I sent the guy a PM. Soon the hour passes, Pyrite sales show up, but not a PM from the guy. So I try to PM him, and he says he just got done with the run, and to meet in SW with the mats.
So I do, give him the mats, he makes the vial, and gives it to me. Before I have time to grab it and put it over my head and scream “VICTORY!!!”, the guy wants me to give him a ride around SW. So I drink the sweet taste of the vial and get the achievement. So I fly him around SW for my first flight in my new Dragon Form, land him, go to my Druid, fly him around Elwynn with some appropriate, epic music playing.
And so… I’m happy. 🙂 I finally got what I wanted. And getting it legit feels even better. But what am I going to do now, you ask? Well today I got a Nexus run to do, going to max out Arch, and may go back to mining..but this time, not as needy of my ores to sell. I may still get my Worgen Rogue’s new Tailoring/Enchanting skills up, to help my Goblin Warlock on the Horde side who has the same thing.
Will I get the vial, for Beefhunter? As of right now, I’m not sure. I might. Then again I might not. If I do, it will help Darkcash out. Now that I see how easy it is to get up 37k, I might.
