Time for some non-Patch 4.3 news. I hope to one day be in the three Heroic dungeons, so that’s one reason I’ve been gearing up.
So far I have every piece, except for the bracers. That means I can’t “quit my job” yet. I’ll have to work extra hard to get as much money as I can for enchanting / gems / and reforging. I have no idea how much everything is going to cost, but I’m sure it’s going to be more than 20k.
For enchants, I’ll have to buy the mats from the AH (or acquire them through my profs). That’s not going to be cheap. Though, getting reforging and gems was.. mostly.
When it comes to reforging, it’s nothing big. You spend less than 50g, depending what you want done. And gems, all I did was search for them in the AH. They had every gem I needed.
There was a bit of a problem. My new belt, [Belt of the Dim Forest], Mr. robot claims there’s two gem slots, when there’s only one. So I wasted money on a gem I didn’t need. Did get back said money.
Now I have to continue running dungeons. But not for JP, but for rep. Revered with Ramkahen and Exalted with Therazane to get two perm enchants.
All that’s left to do is get bracers, which require either killing Vanessa VanCleef in Deadmines, or Ozruk in Stonecore. Both are in heroic. Infact, I just got done doing DM in heroic. Was pretty fun, and brought me back. And no bitching about my DPS! Unfortunately, the bracers didn’t drop.
And what’s worse, it seems heroics are like raids. Except, I only have to wait a day instead of a week for them to reset. They reset at 2pm Eastern (11am Pacific).
