I’m starting to get bored with The Timeless Isle now. Why? I found an Addon that works with TomTom, which spits out waypoints of all known treasure chests on the island. I found some that Terlarer didn’t tell me about. Though this addon can also help you cheat. Basically, I found all the small chests… and those chests don’t respawn… :\/ I had no idea, really.<\/p>\n
I also saw something in my mailbox from the WoW Dev Team. Began to fear it was something serious (like what I did above), so quickly went to check it out. Turned out it was nothing but a congratulation notice for logging in on WoW’s 9th anniversary (was yesterday, by the way). Also got the item that gives you a Rep and XP bonus by 9%. Other people thought it was a piece of shit and act like they’re entitled to a pot of gold. … Really.<\/p>\n
Back to that addon.. again, I didn’t know the small chests don’t respawn. But, it helped me acquire the 20000 coins needed to get that bow. Now having the bow in my possession, it makes me hit no harder than I was. It was exactly as I thought.
\nI also learned, getting a Neck and Trinket replacement is as rare as tripping over something in the game and falling on your face. With this undesired knowledge, decided it’s time to get this shit upgraded.
\nIt took time, flying back to SW, gathering what materials I needed to start asking in Trade Chat, and then finally asking. The first one took at least a half an hour until someone responded and helped me out.<\/p>\n
With everything upgraded, I also upgraded the bow to Level 2, and my head piece to Level 1 with what remaining Valor I had (anything I could do to boost my DPS). This upgrade system seems to be the new reason for me to continue farming for Valor. It takes 500 Valor everytime I upgrade.
\nFlying back to the isle, I tried again on killing elites… same fucking speed! This is when I was really starting to get bored. Bored with killing the same elite, and getting these Timeless Coins was starting to be pointless (since I got the bow).<\/p>\n
Hearing about this “Albatross Taxi” thing, I’ve noticed these big seagull-like birds flying around in a specific pattern. Apparently, you can use these to fly you around the island to access hard to reach areas, for the bigger treasure chests. You access these birds at their lowest flight point, West of the Celestial Grounds.
\nAll you do is attack them and they will pick you up. Normally, things like this that do this, try to kill you. But this, carries you.
\nTo get off, you have to kill it and then let gravity take over.<\/p>\n
In one of these, I had myself dropped over a red lake as I was picking up chests nearby. From here, you have to go on foot to another lake below and hope you hit the water and not the shoreline, as it’s a long way down and the fall will kill you.
\nAfter I got my ass handed to me several times by an elite, I tried to get out here which was blocked by another elite; one of the elite serpents here.
\nForced into combat, I engaged and used the lake as cover from the serpent’s attacks. It took four tries of 10 minutes of fighting, diving down and swimming to get away from the devastating AoE attacks of the serpent, and trying to spin around and attack from a distance, ’till the beast fell into the lake. I was awarded with nearly 100 coins. Yes, I just killed my first hard elite on the island.<\/p>\n
So at this time, a thought came to my head and see if this new gear could survive the Isle of Giants and get some of them dino bones. To speed up time with this post, got to the island and tried attacking a hatchling… it dropped dead in under a minute. I stood there, shocked. Knowing I have done the impossible (for me). A soloer with shit gear.. just killed something that easily pwned me months ago. I thought “Holy SHIT!! If I could do this.. I could solo TK!”<\/p>\n
And solo I did. Couldn’t kill the first boss as it kept resetting (I assume the fact I didn’t kill fast enough), but I killed all of the others. The fel lord, that fel dragon which shows up after you kill the lord, the sisters, that crystal.. and the final boss. Killed them all.
\nThe final boss was very… fun. He was literally, throwing everything he had at me. Yet my health didn’t drop below 90%. I could almost hear him yelling “Fucking soloer! DIE ALREADY!!!”. If only this guy was Deathwing… then that would be an epic battle.
\nDid die around 6 times. Mostly with the bosses (namely 2 and 3 due to not remembering AoE attacks), but there was also this one group near the beginning which had a guy I have to kill first. Never died on the final boss. So yeah, SP is now on my belt. I’m just glad they allow you to pass the first boss and carry on with the dungeon, because that would suck if they didn’t.
\nThat was pretty much my first ever raid-sized dungeon I solo’d. And I got so much loot from the bosses (which was promptly sold thanks to my Traveler’s Tundra Mammoth from WoTLK).<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I’m challenging myself to defeat the bosses of The Eye. It feels soooo good<\/strong> to solo dungeons again! I’m back in my element. \ud83d\ude42 I can also say, my gear isn’t as shitty now. But there’s always room for improvement; aka Valor for upgrades.

\nThis might make me want to do dailies again. … AHAHAHAHAHA!! RIGHT! \ud83d\ude00 Fuck dailies. I don’t need them or their rep anymore. I’m beyond that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
