WoW update: Flying Leatherworkers

[bobquasit]

Adventured with a friend in a new area, Darkshire, last night. Very creepy and haunted-house-like! Got within a hair of leveling (25) but it was getting late.

I also made an unfortunate discovery for my fighter. He's a miner/blacksmith, and one of his quest requires him to make four heavy copper mauls. Unfortunately one of the ingredients for those mauls is light leather. I didn't realize that light leather isn't available for purchase anywhere, and if you're not a skinner/leatherworker you can't get it.

Now, I have a great skinner/leatherworker. He picks up tons of light leather. Unfortunately he's my Tauren shaman; since he's in the Horde, he can't send leather to my human fighter (Alliance). So it looks like I'll have to take one of my low-level abortive characters and make him a skinner/leatherworker. None of the low-level ones have a specialty yet, fortunately. If I can, I'll probably pick the Draenai hunter; he kills lots of animals.

While I'm at it, I suspect that I should make a set of low-level characters who have all the professions: an enchanter, an inscriber, an engineer, etc. etc. etc.

Oh yes, almost forgot: I think I found a glitch. When I click on dead enemies "too quickly", very often nothing happens and they have no loot. I can't prove anything, but this didn't used to happen. Sometimes the loot window doesn't even show up! I'm not sure what I can do about that, apart from count off a few seconds before trying to loot.

Got to bed lateish (shortly after 11) and then an hour or two later Sebastian woke us both up by howling "DAAAAD!". Another nightmare. He came into our bed and I got pushed around for the rest of the night. Very little sleep. Hard to function today. Everything hurts, particularly my left elbow where I broke it last year. I broke it at just about this time of the year, come to think of it; am I Frodo?

I'll see if I have some light leather in my inventories that I can send along from my Alliance characters.

The problem with looting may be from that latest software patch they sent thru.

Actually, my Tauren shaman was having the exact same problem even a week or two ago. I have the feeling that I need to slow down before looting...but all in all, this feels like a glitch.

Another thing: sometimes when my shaman would try to loot a body right after killing it, he'd get a message telling him that he wasn't authorized to loot that body, or something like that. Then a second or two later, he'd be able to loot it. Weird!

You can pick up stacks of light leather at the auction house (Stormwind sounds like its closest to you).

Also, there are inter-faction auction houses (over in Kalimdor) that people use to transfer stuff between faction characters.

Haven't noticed that glitch. Thats annoying.

Unfortunately I'm broke. Last night I didn't have enough money to pay for a griffin flight from Stormwind to Darkshire - how pathetic is that? So auction-house prices are (I assume) utterly out of the question for me.

It shouldn't be too big a hassle to train a character as a skinner/leatherworker.

Yeah, the AH has EVERYTHING! Wait till you get your Smith to Outland. Things really get exciting then.

[bobquasit.livejournal.com]

The smith adventures alone - the guy I played with once has never been on again when I've been - so I fear I'll never get to Outland, wherever that is. :(

Ok. I've gotta set aside a weekly gaming night with you.

Outland? Isn't that near Bloom County? :)
