WoW update: crafts

No leveling last night, alas. I went on a one-hour mining junket with Lukemac, though, and picked up a fair amount of tin and 97 coppers. Made a bunch of copper bracers and sent them over to Domac for enchanting.

Her tailoring skill is around 114 now, and I managed to raise her Enchanting skill from 18 to 46. I expect that tonight she'll get to 50 and finally be able to enchant something genuinely useful, a cloak. But she'll be maxed out at that point; she can't increase her skill any further until she gets to level 20. Since she's level 13 right now, she has some adventuring ahead of her!

Also did some adventuring with a friend in Darkshire, and the thing I feared happened: we were deep in a cemetary, surrounded by scary undead, and he had to go AFK for a while. Undead were clawing up out of the ground near us, and I was afraid that the slightest move would bring them down on us.

One did come, but I was able to handle him.

There was also a lower-level paladin in the distance who kept fighting undead and then running away. I helped him out occasionally with a long-distance frostbolt to slow his opponent. I've maxed out the range on a selection of frost spells, so I can shoot them pretty far now. It's useful, particularly when I'm soloing.

The Horde continues to plague Darkshire. A couple of high-level Horde PCs were riding around, randomly attacking throughout Darkshire and Duskwood. A high-level Alliance PC was chasing them. Fortunately the Horde guys didn't attack us.

Gather?

I heard a commercial on NPR for Gather.com. Has anyone tried it? Is it any good?

WoW: Account transfer, moves

Blizzard is requiring everyone to convert their WoW account into a Battle.net account. I thought I already had a Battle.net account (via Diablo and Diablo II), but I had to create a new one anyway.

I'm supposedly going to receive a penguin as an in-game pet (Sebastian was very excited at the news), but I don't know how to get it.

I've been thinking, and I've decided to clean out my characters on the Maelstrom server. I have three Horde characters and seven Alliance characters there, and that doesn't make sense. I should make Maelstrom all Alliance, so I can send myself useful stuff and have my characters support each other.

My highest-level Horde character is 15th level. I noticed that I may be able to transfer him for free to a lower-population server. If so, I'll do it; I'd hate to waste the time I spent playing him. I guess I'll look for a low-population RPG sever.

Sebastian has decided that I should make a human male warlock. I don't know why.

Goodbye Cast

Yesterday they took off Sebastian's cast. Teri thinks he was a little nervous when they were sawing (I'd stupidly mentioned that they'd touched my arm with the saw when they cut mine off, giving me a friction burn), but he seemed fine to me. His arm is fine, and he had a bit of the enhanced sensation I remember after the cast came off. He'll go back in two weeks for a final check, but all seems to be fine!
