Clouds thinning by morning

[mikailborg]

Feeling much much better this morning. I have been trying to find an explanation for feeling so lousy last night... less caffeine, lingering crud from the weekend, full moon, etc etc... but I think that there's no special explanation: I just felt bad. This is not satisfying to the logical part of my mind, but all the other possibilities just don't ring true.

I think it helps that I did again wake before the alarm, though I had a bout of chills about 1/2 hour into my morning. I'm hoping that garbage goes away as the weather gets a little warmer.

My WoW backpack has 16 "item slots", each of which holds anything from a rabbit's foot to a 6-foot mage's staff to an armored chestplate. These slots fill up insanely quickly - collecting additional bags ASAP is practically mandatory - so I'm disinclined to believe the "upcoming patch notes" that claim we'll be seeing a "scaling" pack which starts at 10 slots and gets to 24 slots at level 70. 10 slots isn't even enough for a newbie character.

(I love how, in loot-based fantasy gaming, the same pair of armored trousers somehow fit both a 3.5-foot tall gnome male, and an 8.5-foot tall tailed alien female. Imagine how easy clothes shopping would be if all clothing fit the moment you put it on!)

Since I'm WoW-gabbing this morning, here's a great post on the official forums by a player who's compiled a short history of Azeroth, giving players some background for a lot of those quests where something more seems to be going on. WoW lore's pretty darn rich and full, even for a series of 4 video games. It may be no Silmarillion, but that's a plus for some folks.

I'm only five bars from level 63 now : ) I keep thinking I'm 63 aiming at 64...and maybe I am...Damn, now I don't know my own level, how sad is that?

But anywho, I just got my pattern for my leatherworking bag. 14 more knothide leather and that thing is MINE! I'm going to have to go farm leather though, I'm in Terrokar and there's not a lot of skinnables there so far...

I'm actually back to having fun on WoW. It's nice.

There should be wolves and wolves and, oh, more wolves before too long. There's a quest to collect tails off the wolves that took me a couple hours the drop rate was so bad. Good luck on the skinning!

Yeah, one of the reasons my paladin is a tailor is because when I started her, I wanted someone who could make bags and she was my only character.

I've been frustrated for a few weeks now that the backpack is only 16 slots, when I can make 20 slot bags pretty easily now. I need those 4 extra slots!

I know my daughter's 19 hunter has 3 16 slot bags plus her backpack plus her quiver, and she's always out of space, too.

This is why I can never leave my server with my guild... I get 4 16 slot bags like BAM for every new character.

Oh, you can leave, you just need to go somewhere else where they'll give you free stuff all the time. :)

Well, if it's any consolation, using the dressing room to view stuff on my Tauren male that's made for cloth classes (there are no Tauren clothies) is often an exercise in comedy since while the clothes scale to FIT the model, they often look really silly and/or get weird clipping issues. There are just some things that weren't meant to be one-style-fits-all. :)

People use to make fun of me because being a plate wearing healadin one would expect that person to go mining/Bs or mining/WS. But No, Im a skinner/LW.

Now that I can make Large space quivers/ammo bags, LW/mining bags and some insane leg armor kits, they aren't laugh so much anymore.

If you need help look me up on uther. (shrewlet lvl 70 paladin)

After a certain point, your professions are nothing but money makers. All the gear you can craft is outstripped by drops from instances fairly quickly.

I know a lot of Warriors that went Hippy Stardust (Herbalism & Enchanting), just cause they paid for themselves in terms of selling herbs and DEing drops in instances for enchanting mats.

LOL Just wait till you hit some of the fun of endgame content.
