We really, really dodged the bullet with this one.<\/p>\n<p>With that threat no longer a concern in my mind, I got back into farming mobs and searching treasure chests for that free gear. One thing I want to say. With dailies, you work for someone to get rep with. But with this&#8230; you work for yourself.<br \/>\nStill, like all dailies, it gets a bit discouraging when the following happens;<br \/>\n1. Die do to being overwhelmed (or just undergeared).<br \/>\n2. Clear out an area and find no chest.<br \/>\n3. Race to get to a boss but miss the kill by mere seconds.<br \/>\n4. Killing the same boss you&#8217;ve killed five times today.<\/p>\n<p>Though the third and forth one can be avoided, the other two are still a problem with me. No matter what gear I have replaced, it&#8217;s the main weapon that still needs an upgrade. And what seems my only option, is to spend not 2000.. not even 10000&#8230; but <strong>20<\/strong>000 Timeless Coins on a bow that only has a 14% upgrade score. That&#8217;s not good, but as I said.. my only hope. It&#8217;s the only ranged weapon for Hunters on this island.<br \/>\nCurrently, I have like 15000. Killing the random bosses <em>does<\/em> help with this, and so does killing elites as they can give you around 30-45 coins per kill. But of course, that many coins at once isn&#8217;t without risk. Mostly, of seeing my pet die before the mob does.<br \/>\nWith some elites that can pwn my pet in four hits (the Water Spirits), I can get as little as 13 coins per kill. I assume Blizzard thinks you can take them on and kill them quickly. They actually do die at an average time for a non-boss, non-dungeon elite, but hit hard.<\/p>\n<p>Last night was pretty interesting. I am starting to get a little bit more involved in the &#8220;community&#8221; of the island by saying &#8220;&#8216;boss here&#8217; is up&#8221; and waiting for the cavalry to assist me.<br \/>\nFor example, this one boss I saw in the back. I told in chat where the guy was. Several people showed up near him and commenced with fighting. After the guy died, I noticed Evermaul, an overgrown boss fish swimming near me. I alerted that I saw the boss and hopped down and started to chase it on my raft I got from The Angelers.<\/p>\n<p>I finally caught up to the fast bastard and started attacking. It slowed down as it was saying &#8220;ohh.. it&#8217;s my time to die again? Alright. Let&#8217;s get this over with&#8221;.<br \/>\nFor at least&#8230; 10 minutes, it was just me and my pet, soloing this rare boss. I kept alerting General Chat for assistance to bring him down faster. Told them which side he was on the island, yet no one came.<br \/>\nIt wasn&#8217;t until another 15 minutes, when I finally saw someone else coming over to do battle. It was freakin&#8217; hilarious. I had this guy down to 92% health, due to constantly firing everything I had at him.<br \/>\nAnd I also had to deal with Fatigue, and that disembodied voice yelling &#8220;YOU WILL SUFFER FOR THIS TRESPASS!!&#8221; which kept spamming everytime I left and entered the fatigue area. The only thing I was &#8216;suffering&#8217; from was the spamming. Several times it sounded like &#8220;YOU WILL YOU SUFFER WILL FOR YOU THIS WILL&#8221;..etc. Seriously, Blizzard. Please fix that without delaying WoD.<\/p>\n<p>So, it was me and this Warrior trying to beat this fish down. After 10 minutes, more people showed up (who were part of the Horde) and <strong>finally<\/strong> brought the bastard down! And Blizzard was even nice after all of that, and gave me a Timeless ring to replace Ring 2! Yay!<\/p>\n<p>To end off this blog post with a bang, and an upset stomach&#8230;<br \/>\nI felt tired so I was about to call it a night. So I&#8217;m running back to where the NPCs are around the Celestial area, when this dwarf vendor grabbed my attention. So I went over and checked out his wares, and discovered something&#8230; interesting. An item called &#8216;Dragon P.I.E&#8217;. It&#8217;s another one of those things that can make you drunk.<br \/>\nI decided to buy one, then drink it. The head of a disembodied red dragon appeared over my head, roaring, with&#8230; what I <em>hope<\/em> is just fizz around me.<\/p>\n<p>I stood there, a bit tipsy, and went to Wowhead trying to learn more about this.. interesting drink. Some say &#8220;lol its dragon piss!&#8221;. And I&#8217;m all &#8220;&#8230; nah. It can&#8217;t be!&#8230;. is it? Did he seriously&#8230;. did I&#8230;&#8221;<br \/>\nUnfortunately, there&#8217;s no way to learn the true ingredients. And I pray &#8216;dragon piss&#8217; isn&#8217;t one of them. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a very slow start due to Mother Nature deciding to rain down hell in the Midwest with a Tornado Outbreak. &#8230; Pray to the ones that got their neighborhoods destroyed in northern Illinois and Indiana.
