I know it's been over a month since my last post, but nothing really exciting has happened since then. The big thing I have been working on this past month is getting Devarien his Nether Drake Mount. Let me tell you...it was a long grind!!! Getting your reputation with the Netherwing up to Exalted takes a lot of commitment. The quests can be frustrating at times since the drop rates are so low. However, you make a good deal of money doing them & as a skinner, you get a huge amount of heavy knothide leather out of it. All in all, I am happy I stuck with it & was able to get my awesome Onyx Netherwing Drake!
Other than working on my Nether Drake, I've been mostly working on my alliance characters and trying to get them into Kara & gear them up. I've been having a lot of fun tanking 5 mans with my warrior Jaos. I've also decided to make my rogue, Aeyla, my dedicated PvP character. She grouped up with a mage from my guild for some 2v2 this week & we went 6-4! She's running a shadow step subtlety build, which has a lot of control & is very fun to play. I'm trying to get S2 weapons for her, but grinding honor seems like it will take a while. I hope I'm able to get her some good pvp gear before the expansion comes out.
Another cool thing that has happened is that my guild got to go to Gruul's for the first time! Last Friday we got together with another guild for a co-raid of Gruul's Lair! We were able to down the first boss after about 4 or 5 tries! Unfortunately, we ran out of time to down Gruul himself, but on our last attempt, we got him to 12%, so I definitely think we could of done it! I hope we get to try Gruul's again & if things work out, co-raid some more 25 man content in the future!
