And the most impressive is 70-80. My Monk only took two DAYS to do it.<br \/>\nIf that&#8217;s not impressive enough, she was 77 when she left Borean Tundra for Grizzly Hills. I can only guess this was due to the 10% XP increase of the Guild, and the Wintergrasp 5% XP buff. Also had that 50% increase after doing Monk Training. So, that&#8217;s like 65% faster XP.<\/p>\n<p>Now doing Cata quests, it seems to be back to normal. That is if you call almost completing Vash&#8217;jir at Level 84, normal.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\n.<\/p>\n<p>So anyway, the reason I made this post. Surely everyone&#8217;s heard of the devastating, outreaching affects of Superstorm Sandy. Well, Blizzard is working with the Red Cross, to help the survivors of Sandy. The catch is, you gotta buy a pet on the Blizzard Store for $10. But 100% of that $10 will go to the Red Cross, instead of to Blizzard.<br \/>\nThe pet is a flaming kitten. Some people want to do preorders, JUST to get that kitten because it&#8217;s &#8220;so adorable&#8221;.<br \/>\nSome, think it&#8217;s a promotional gimmick of Blizzard to make it like they actually care.<br \/>\nSome are seeing of ones that are buying the pet just to donate, is a shame, due the fact that they can&#8217;t donate normally to the Red Cross.<br \/>\nAnd some see that Blizzard&#8217;s wasting their time, because FEMA and other agencies will take care of the survivors, by providing them food, clothes, and all other basic survival essentials.<\/p>\n<p>Blizzard&#8217;s stance of this, which I agree with; &#8220;if this gets lots of people to donate to a good cause, it&#8217;s worth it&#8221;. Blizzard can be retarded when it comes to their rules of WoW, but they aren&#8217;t outside of it. This is a noble cause, and I will support it.<\/p>\n<p>Just to put this on the table, I&#8217;ve donated $10 via texting to the Red Cross when it first came up. Do I want this pet? Not really. But I will get it to support the Red Cross, once again. Though I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll be looked down with disdain over getting this thing, even though I&#8217;ll tell them I donated way before this thing came out (as in they won&#8217;t believe me, or just trolling).<br \/>\nAlso, I have seven cats in my house IRL. So, yeah. I don&#8217;t see this flaming kitten being &#8220;cute&#8221;, when I got enough cute there.<\/p>\n<p>If it was a flaming Murloc, however&#8230; <strong>then<\/strong> I&#8217;d grab it! Because baby Murlocs are adorable. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Made this post as a way to first say, of a few leveling records that were shattered, by my Monk.
