I’ve lost all interest in this challenge, so I will no longer be doing it. This blog will remain, however, as an archive of my past attempts (and failures).
Thanks for reading, and sorry for springing this on you so sudddenly.
Sorry about the hiatus. I’ve been working on some of my other projects. I will try to get an update up at some point in the future. Until then, please stay tuned.
As you can see from the header image, Maidofiron is now a Troll Mage. I don’t usually play Trolls, so this should be interesting.
For the Alliance Horde!
The first thing I noticed when I logged in was the fact I had 66 gold, 36 silver and 95 copper. Selling all the green (and occasional blue) drops and quest rewards certainly helped. But I’m not here to brag about my limited wealth, I’m here to update you all on my progress. So, read on!
My first tasks were to gather Deepmoss Venom Sacs and kill Queen Silith. As an arachnophobe, seeing how big Queen Silith was made me look around my room looking for spiders. I’d hate to see one as big as her in my house!
While gathering the venom sacs, Queen Silith and one of her brood both decided to have a go. I had to retreat, as I had just killed another spider, and was thus low on mana and health.
When it came to actually killing Silith for the quest, it was another close call (boy, am I used to those by now). Ran out of mana and had to wand her to death, popping my shield whenever it was available. But I managed to defeat her in the end.
A while later, I was hot on the trail of the Horde’s big bomb. The Orbital Support Shredders summoned by the Goblin Pump Overseers were annoying, but easy to defeat. The Lumbering Oafs, on the other hand … were not. They were anything BUT ‘lumbering’, especially when they ‘enraged’.
Alas, this was to prove my downfall, as shown by this screenshot:
Here’s what happened:
And that’s the end of that. However, I got to Level 28 – a new personal best!
I still wasn’t done, though. I went to Stormwind, sold all my gear, cancelled all of my auctions, and decided to give the ten green/blue items I had to a random low level. I see a Level 19 Warlock with a name I found funny, so I choose him.
My good deed for the day done, I delete the character and create a random race/class in order to reserve the name.
My next attempt will begin soon. Until then, take care everyone!
I am taking part in the Newbie Blogger Initiative (NBI), a project designed to get people blogging about MMOs. Some people find the whole idea a daunting one, as you not only need to have a topic for your blog, but you also need to attract readers. The NBI aims to help you with the latter.
As for the former, many people simply talk about their own personal experiences in the game. Kind of like I’m with this blog, as well as another one I do. *cough*IdiotsOfWarcraft*cough*
Even experienced bloggers can get involved. You can offer advice to people about how to get started in the world of blogging.
I strongly suggest that you check out the NBI site. Just click the logo you see to the left. You have until the end of today (May 1st) to sign up, so be quick! Over 70 blogs are taking part, so you’ll find no shortage of advice and new blogs to read.
For anyone still checking back for new updates, I apologise for the fact there haven’t been any. I’ve not been playing Maidofiron lately. I’ve been more interested in gearing up my Tauren Paladin for tanking duties.
I’ll try and get back to the challenge soon!
Maidofiron is now an Orc Warlock.
Now, let’s try this again…
This is what happens when you get busted by a Keensnout Potbelly, and end up trying to run from a small army of Villa Mooks.
Oh well, I guess a reroll is in order.
I have created a Female Goblin Hunter on the Earthen Ring (EU) realm named ‘Maidofiron’ (I’m surprised that name wasn’t taken already).
Here’s hoping I can get higher than Level 21 this time!
I neglected to check my health between capturing humans, and this is the result. Such an undignified end.
Oh well. I shall start a new challenge soon.
