<3 Ory & Innaura & Calla (dang I have too many toons)

My favorite blogger says goodbye. =(

Since I created Lalar, last year (wow..) I have been following a blog that has given me so much knowledge into the Hunter class, and has allowed me to progress and level Lalar (now Innaura) into the decent hunter she is today. Hunter was my first class, be it, my first love. Sure I made Oryanna, but I still have a soft spot for my hunter and still continue to level her when I have time.

BRK's Goodbye Blog

To be honest, I cried when I read it, not only for the fact that we will be loosing one of the best bloggers in this wowblogsphere, but for him. He realized just how much time is he was taking away from his family, and he is going to fix it. And that, is why I cried.. at a man who took his life into his hands and is turning it around. Call me a sap, but I would be damn proud of that. Sure I play a lot, but I make time for my kiddo, and when (?) my Seren comes around, there's no WoW involved. Sometimes you have to make limits, for life and for sanity. I do love WoW, it is a fantastic way to destress after work, and a great way to blow time and not be so sad when Landon is at his fathers house (I miss my baby boy then :( ). But we all have our limits.

BRK you are a hero alone for stepping back and taking care of your family.

But majorly, you are a hero for the wealth of knowledge you have instilled into me through your blog. Lalar was a lowly hunter, beating things up with her swords until I found out how to kite, learned how to stack stats, and learned what the best pets would be.

I eagerly watched your videos from PTR when you exposed the new pets that would be offered in Wrath of Lich King and I ran out the first day and tamed my "FlutterLala" for her epic dusting abilites!

There is a wonderful blog post in the official WoW forums, begging the Developers of Blizz to honor BRK, and I for one signed it! I encourage everyone else, Hunter or not to post in this epic thread. BRK should be remembered in the game!

The thread!

We will miss you BRK but we love you for what your doing!

<3 BRK Fan 4Eva!

Shamanism and woops

LOL @ being popular and having people email me asking if everything is ok, because I haven't blogged lately. <3 My readers :D

And actually everything is just fine, just been busy leveling Calla, she is an awesome 33 at the moment, leveling solo in Desolace. My guild has been super awesome, running her through Scarlet Monastery over and over, giving me awesome tips, and helping with the toughy quests. I gotta say, Shamans are fun, really fun. Just dropping totems and shooting out lightning is enough to make me want to keep leveling her. She will be 80, soon.. srsly.. :D

I'm pushing for 40 midweek, and this weekend probably 45. I would aim for 50, but this is a big RL weekend, my best friend and almost sister Jamie is having her birthday and we are going out dancing and drinking. :D YAY HAPPY B-DAY SIS!!!! Annnd my Seren is coming to see me ;) <3 <3 <3 <3 So busy and fun weekend ahead!

Now cool stuff that happened, Oryanna got to see Hyjal, which was awesome! No loot, although if the sword would have dropped it would have been mine. <3 Master Looter (new friend sexy druid) and <3 Raidleader (Yeah Shigan dats you... ;) ) Then, of all awesomeness, we decided to do Sunwell, so I asked if Innaura could come along, and she did!!! 2 Sexy matching daggers, peice of the Gronstalkers set, AND shoulders! Again, being so in love with RL & Master looter, if the bow drops (when we go back) , *whispers* its mine :P maybe.. hopefully, *crosses fingers*...

Otherwise it's leveling Calla ftw :) I look to have her on up there soon, so she can start healing, maybe hitting some heroics and getting ready for Ulduar ;)

We'll see, might be asking to much, but I feel good about leveling her!

<3 Ory

Shaman's R 4 Hawt

I did it! I finally made my Shaman.. I have been in love with that class and wanting to make one forever, just haven't gotten around to with Gearing Ory and raiding and trying to level Innaura (which I'm still doing). But with this "break" in raiding, I wanted to give it a shot. So, Callä was born last night. Sexy Draenei Shaman, got her to level 12 and had to log for the night, but I can't wait to log back on and keep working on her!

Pics soon, don't worry! ;)

<3 Ory & Callä

The CUTE!! IT BURNS!!

Enjoy!

<3 Ory

PS: 4:00 PM, I am out of stuff at work so I am surfing.. saw that, went aww, hadda share ;)

New... toy... want... now.....

Why.. oh why, do I have to be such a gamer that I want this...



I want it for Mother's Day :P

*crosses fingers*

*drools*

Impact & Scribin'

So.. slight drama, but thankfully my awesome RL/GL/Friend Shigan fixed it all and prevented too many headaches. I won't go into details, but I will say that Ory & Innaura and a few select other friends are no longer in Iudicium. We are now in "Impact" :D

Taking a break on raiding for now, and we're all going to build up the GB and improve our roster. Ulduar will be dropping soon and I am certain we'll be ready! Soo YAY Impact!

Also, since Shigan went from Inscription to Jewelcrafting, and actually ended up leaving all those glyphs in Iudicium's guild bank, I (Innaura) has re-professioned into Inscriptions! And it's actually a pretty cool profession. Plus the shoulder enchants I could have when I get it maxed, are awesome! I am making glyphs for guildies, I can make Darkmoon Faire Decks, Armor and Weapon Vellums, etc etc. It's nice to have a helpful profession. Plus Oryanna has been fishing up a storm! So now, I have Innaura (lvl 73 *yay*) Herb/Inscrpt and Oryanna Maxed JC/ Mining/Cooking & Fishing :D

I think this "drama" was well needed, we can sit back, build up, recruit and get ready for new content without having to break our necks over raids that we've mastered. I have very few gear upgrades I need, but I can pug if desperate but I doubt we will have to do that.

Seren's warrior Murphyslawl is leveling in Northrend now, I am soo excited about that! We'll have our lowbies to 80 in no time flat!

So, current project, Level Innaura and her Inscription.. Work on Oryanna's mining, annnnddd PVP!! ZOMG Everytime we have time to PVP, our partner is in Naxx lol! We are going to have to schedule time now!!!!!! ROOOZZZYYYYYYYYY tell me when! <3


Lol, anyways, more to come! (Shigan made the mistake of telling me to work on the new Impact website... oh yeah fun time!!!)

Shigan is also going to faint when he comes back to a guild with a guild bank FULL of stuff! :D

<3 Ory

Oooohhh Pretty!

An awesome Wow_lady, "alchemicalxromance" made me a gorgeous banner! And here it is!!!





Sooo awesome and so very pretty! Thank you so much!!!

<3 Ory!

For Iudicium

There you go, now I have the achievement. :P (and crap, now I have that Whitney Houston song in my head)


For Aen.. because I am the main target of CPR..


For Shigan :D

I am bored at work, so if guildies read this, feel free to offer suggestions for more and I'll make them :P ------> (chatbox for selections)

<3 Ory

BT, Mojo, and /facepalm

First of all, YAY me for being so wonderfully popular that people have to roll level 1 toons named "Oryannaisfat" and "Yeahsheis" to send me negative whispers. Normally, my carebear self would be like "omg someone hates me *cries*, but this time it's more like.. Wow.. lame..

Nice to see I am beginning to create a shield against stupidity. Deflecting the idiots makes me happy.

Anyways, so yesterday was also a good day, logged in and one of our 70 guildies was asking for a run of ZA, well of course I need Mojo, so I joined up and we all took off.

Here's a quick background: There's a girl in the guild that has more pets than me, and she frequently brags about it knowing that I'm waaaay behind her, no biggie, I don't let it bother me, I am glad she has more pets. I'll have mine soon. So, we're all in ZA, girl and I are needing on the Hex sticks, "mostly" everyone else is passing on them, knowing that we want Mojo. "Mostly" however, does not include Seren (ty baby) and Bowflexa (who was just being spiteful ;) ty hun). So, we ran through, killed killed and I started on my frogs. First 8 or so, became NPC's.. well boo.. So, we started clearing more trash. Boom 5 more hex sticks.. 5 more NPC's.. well damn I thought. Oh well, we'll come back. Last NPC I got, dropped a box and Seren opened it and looted a Hex Stick, then passed it to me. /target Wood Frog right click Hex Stick..

O
M
G
!!

(I screamed in vent, I think I now hold the guild title of emotional :P)

Happy little Mojo is now mine :) (ty ty ty baby!!!)

What is with this AWESOME amount of WoW Luck I have been having? That makes a total of 7-8 pets total in 2 weeks! 6 Major Armor Upgrades and 1 HUGELY MAJOR weapon upgrade. Just wow :D

Further awesomeness, our raidleader, Shigan logs on and on a whim says "Hey, let's do Black Temple".. being the fact that I have never seen BT all the way on Oryanna or Innaura (ie: Lala) I was up for it.

So, we got a group together and pushed through. It was actually fairly easy (wish I could have seen it when it was THE level instance *mumbles*) and I have to say, BT looks awesome!! The mechanics on some of the fights are so awesome! Especially the council fight, where you need to interrupt the healer constantly. (was my job and Bowflexa's rogue) The weirdest one, and I cannot remember the name to save my life, was the multi-headed creature, with 3 phases, mainly because how the Boss looked. Odd.. O.o

Anyways, we made it Illidan *squee for my first time to see him* and I grabbed some awesome screenies, so the rest of my post is going to be mainly screenshots of things that have recently happened.

First off, Molten Core :D


Meet Ragnaros, he liked to throw me. LOL Pretty awesome looking boss imo.


On the subject of Classic Bosses, meet Onyxia. One of the ugliest dragons imo.... (Special thanks to Enshock for including me in the run)


More dragons :) Malygos! Bane of my existence... (I think he hates me because I have "Azure Drake" as a mini pet and in the instance I pull it out to taunt him... shame on me)


Here's the shot of Illidan I got, not sure why so many women swoon over him, he's ugly to me..


Here is Bowflexa and I grinding Bloodsail Rep for my random achievement run :D


Sexy pirates ;) (and birdies) (stolen from Bowflexa lmao)

So yeah, ever since moving to KT, it has been a non-stop up and down ride, mainly up. And this may be considered kissing ass, but most people know how I am, I want to think all my new friends. Ya'll are so awesome to welcome my noob ass into such a well formed guild and helping me to help ya'll. It's been a blessing more than you could ever imagine. And to my baby.. you the best for suggesting this move, and it has been the best for both of us. I <3 you ;)

And to RNG (random number gen.), thanks for making me so lucky!

So *squee*, Black Temple, Mojo, and screenies, what more could you ask for. ;)

Stay tuned!

<3 Ory!

Betrayer of Humanity.. mine.. oh..mah..gee...

So, my last blog was written at 3 AM in the morning after a very exciting night, and now that I've slept, and logged on to make sure my sexy axe is still on my character, I can get into details.

First off, Naxx 25 man, was slow going, but we got through it. I won 2 major upgrades, my legs, Legplates of Double Strikes and my chestplate, Undiminished Battleplate. Both very nice upgrades for me. :D

Well we get into Saph, down.. KT, slow, but down.. I go grab my badge and hear on vent "OMG The Betrayer dropped!!!" I think oh nice, someone is getting lucky tonight. Never even once thought I would even get a shot at it. Considering it is best in slot until Uldaur, iLevel of 226, I figured a high DPS would get it. But, they asked for Main Spec "1's" in raid channel, I typed my "1" and added a "only in my dreams" and started checking out what gems I needed for my gear. Officers went to O-Chat to discuss it (Loot council on Best in Slot Items) and while I was looking around for the portal.........

"You Receive Loot:[Betrayer of Humanity]" ooorrr AKA:





Needless to say, I instantly started crying in vent.. wait not crying.. sobbing.

I hear "omg Ory it's ok!" & "Trina, are you crying?" as I continue to sob and thank everyone profusely.

Someone in guild typed "You have won guild first crying over loot." I laughed, through tears. :P

I just never thought "I" would see a best in slot item. Especially on Ory, who is doing terribad DPS. But, I tell you the second I got enchanted, gem'd and runed, I grabbed out TOP DPS Death Knight Bowflexa and asked for help. We spent nearly 2 hours, regemming, reglyphing, respecing, and relearning a rotation that is actually very very smooth compared to ones I have been using. (Thank you again Bowflexa, you are the best hun! *again because you really are for putting up with my noob ass ;)*)

Oh and as I said on the previous blog, we started talking about Reps and such and he started talking about the Bloodsail Admiral rep, sooo went went and got me that rep. Took a grand total of an hour. Literally... lol, 2 Death Knights running around Booty Bay, killing guards left and right. It was AWESOME!

So now, I am Bloodsail Admiral Oryanna, with my awesome and very helpful mentor, Bloodsail Admiral Bowflexa. (will add screenies later lol, I promise!)

erm, YARR?!?!

So.. now my new goals.. grind Hodir (*shudder*) rep.. for the shoulder enchants. Should be fun.. *sigh*

(And maybe sneak in some Dark Whelping farm time ;)) shhhhh

So, there's what happened ya'll ;)

<3 Iudicium!

<3 Ory ;)


PS: Rewrote this due to my complete rudeness to Distortion, has nothing to do with the guild as a whole, just the GM.. and even then I don't normally get so brazenly rude like that. So my apologies to everyone that "was" in Distortion. :D I still love ya'll, and miss you much!!!!!!!!

PSS: HI GUILDIES!! I SEE YOU!! <3 :D Say hai over there! ------------------>

Whatta Weekend :D

First of all, yay for the massive amount of achievements I got this weekend. Tons of old content dungeons I have been dying to see and finally the Heroic Naxxaramas achivements. :D

The dungeons are mainly due to the sweetest guildies ever. Aenemos & Dekadence. Dekadence went through both Regular MGT (attunement to heroic) and then Heroic MGT, A) So I could see them, and B) for the phoenix hatchling pet. We're going to keep doing it when it resets so I can get that pet.

Now for Aenemos, he went above and beyond, not only AQ 20 completed, ZG, Molten Core, and part of Blackwing Lair. It was soo awesome!!! Molten Core is such a cool instance. :D (Will add screenies later, forgot to email to myself at work)

Now if only I could get some together for a Mojo run.. hmmmmmm :D

Also was a good weekend for my raiding confidence. My drops:
~The Jawbone
~Valorous Scourgeborne Legplates
~Ruthlessness
~Bandit's Insignia

Since I got the Jawbone, I am leaving that crappy duel wield spec suggested by my old gm (like he knew what he was talking about anyways..) and returning back to the tried and true unholy one handed spec. I plan and seeing my dps back up to where it was. Granted I did do ok in Naxx, but being right above the tank doesn't make me happy. I want to be near the top, and I plan to be..

So, 4 Level 213 items in one night :D Hell yeah!!

Tonight is Obsidian Sanctum, 2 drakes. I can't wait for that achievement to blink on my screen!


PS: Magically, my computer performed ok during Naxx, I had one screen freeze during a trash pull. Odd..

<3<3<3 Ory

Ohhh crap, I forgot.. this blog will remain the same name, but Lala is no more. I moved her to Kel'Thuzad with Ory, and apparently there is already a Lalar, so her name needed to be changed. So, she is know Innaura, with new face & new hair! A whole new person :D (She even tamed a gorilla *gasp*) Pics soon, because I love her new look! She leveled this weekend to 72, only 8 more levels to go!!!

Also ROZZYYY we ARE doing the Arena Tournament this week, I'll pop on probably tomorrow around 6ish central time with Seren and we can beat down some ppl for our Murloc!! yay!!

I have the best friends and <3 ever..

First of all, with all this frustration, I made a new character. (Big shock huh) Her name is Zythi, and she is currently a level 10 Hunter. I miss running around with Lala and Leolala, so I figured instead of spending the $ on moving Lala, I am just going to start fresh. I had fun, especially dinging ten and running to Ironforge to go outside and tame my black bear, Nyshi. It's nice to have a hunter again, I missed being proud of my pet for killing something, or holding aggro off of me so well. It may be a game, but you do develop a bond :D.

Now, as to why I am so loved.. as I blogged about last time, Ory was put on hold, I was scared and nervous. Well.. my smart boyfriend knows it's mainly my nerves mixed with the fact that my computer is giving me fits with 25 Mans. So, him and our rl, Zammy, have both been begging me, pleading even (last night's naxx run, poor Zam filled my whispers with begs) for me to raid, at least give it another try. So after some major talks with Seren.. I have made a decision..

I'm going to do Naxx this week..

Zam and Seren I can imagine will be cheering.. though I'm still scared..

I'm going to go home tonight and check all my settings so my lag issue can be lowered.. and prep for it..

So hopefully.. it will go well..

still scared..

meh..

Anyways, more later..

<@ Ory

Sad Panda has returned

First off, Wowstead support folks are very helpful and very nice. They quickly had "my" banner removed from the Distortion site. It's not smart to ask someone to make your guild website look nice and then remove them from admin status. That's ok, enjoy your crap-tastic default banner. Thank you friendly Wowstead Admin who removed it.

Secondly, I have discovered that I am over my head. I have excelled in 10 Man content for months now, blew up the meters, and have been needed for dps many times. I have even been begged by two guilds to join them back on TFC.. which led me to get some confidence under me. I like being confident and feeling like I know what I'm doing. Who doesn't.

Well, now that I transferred to Kel'Thuzad with Seren, he's been flourishing while I have been fading. 1st 25 man Naxx, my Dps was terribad.. last nights attempts on 25 OS with 2 Drakes up.. I kept dieing, sadly by void zones.. again, last nights attempt on Maly, I couldn't even Death Grip a spark.. Zammis and Seren are both urging me continue but sadly I don't have the heart to. I guess I could be too hard on myself, but all I see are my mistakes.. and my dead body eating dirt while everyone else is flying by...

I think I am taking a break from raiding.. my confidence is shot and I can't continue to fail for the offchance that I will do good. Sure, practice makes perfect, but that only applies to someone who has the desire to keep going. I lost that desire last night..

Probably going to level a new toon, or work on Lalar, maybe melee just won't cut it for me anymore. I don't know. Starting fresh sounds ok... just breaks my heart that I've gotten this far to fail miserably..

Only good news I can say is that Ory now has 60 pets. I should be making a big woohoo post with pictures, but my heart isn't in it.

I had a stroke of luck, got my Sporegarr rep to exhaulted got the mini-sporebat. Went fishing, got Mr Pinchy, first wish got the pet, my egg hatched, I got the proto drake whelp I've been needing. On a whim I went and started to farm the oozlings, opened the first bag, there was the pet, went fishing, got my Sewer rat within an hour.. decided that since I had so much luck maybe I should go farm and whelp, and boom the Crimson Whelpling dropped.

So I got 6 pets, yay me.. srry for the non exciteness..

Just not into it anymore.. srry for the emo post.

-Ory

New Guild Iudicium, head is spinning

So with all that drama last week I'd like to give a happy post. Seren and I are no longer guildless. A friend of his that he ran with before I joined WoW has been begging him to come to Kel'Thuzad and run with his guild, and of course, he extended the invitation to me.

So, we bounced the idea around, weighed the options and decided it would be best for us. So we logged on, told Roz and Deb (I cried :( I am going to miss my best friends)) and paid the $25 dollars and was over on KT within 30 minutes. While talking to Seren's friend on vent for the interview process someone asked about the Scheduled 25 Man Naxx run and he informed us that he would like to get us in.

Srsly? O.o

So we zone into KT, in a very PACKED Ironforge.. and within minutes we are getting ready for a 25 Man Naxx... my mind was whirling..

Get in, get going, find out these guys mean business.. trash goes down fast.. bosses go down fast, loot goes out fast.. we're already working on the next trash after Anub'R while loot is still being distributed.

I got so many achievements that night.. crazy O.o

My dps was terribad, mainly due to lag and not being used to going so fast. But I'll get the hang of it I guess.. Seren wants me to quit worrying about it.. but he was pushing 3-4k dps... *sigh*

Anyways, it was awesome, finish clearing Sunday.

No loot.. but I passed on it, mainly I felt like I didn't deserve it being so low, but I was informed otherwise, so I will be seeing loot next time maybe.

I have goals this weekend.. since I am no longer in a guild that needs to work on heroics and random things, I will have a lot of time to work on my own things.
Like...

-I want to start working on Sporegar rep; looking for at least honored/revered
-Same with Skyguard rep; honored/revered
-Mining to 300 for outlands
-Continue doing my dailies because I need to up my gold holdings.

Pretty easy goals, we'll see how it works out.

More later :)

<@ Ory

(I miss you so much Deb & Rozness *hugs*)
(We're still gonna PvP soon! Murlocs FTW!!)

Guildless...

And I'm not sure how to feel.. Part of me is like, oh yay, away from that drama! And another part of me is like, wow.. omg.. I can't raid until I find another guild, or omg, I just left a guild that helped me so much.. But, Roz, Seren and I are having fun!

We ran around on our new lowbies last night and got them to 10! We now have me, a night elf priestess named Innuara, Seren a human paladin named, Valgarth, and Roz made a Draenie Shaman, named Kallana or something along those lines lol.

We're having a blast busting through the quests and running around being silly. The game is fun again.

We decided not to move our mains into my alt/place holder guild, so if one of us gets an invite we can mention the other 2. I imagine it won't take much to find us a good guild, we're just not stressing over it. Sure, we want to raid, but we're not going to freak out about it. Eventually a guild will pop up ready for us :)

Anyways, things are good :)

Updates soon!

<@Ory

PS: Hi Paul I see you lurking ;)

Hmm...

So.. I am in fact, no longer Website Admin in the guild I'm in.. No response from GM, other than he "doesn't know".. w/e.. One of my best friends left yesterday, really shook Seren, Roz and I up, we logged off and went to PvP for a while, still not sure how things will turn out..

If it crumbles, we are staying together. Both Seren and I have a friend on KT who is begging us to come join him.. they have 25 man Naxx on farm, have downed every variety of Drakes up in OS, blew Maly away, and basically everything else in game.. Sad thing is, I've barely seen 25 Man Naxx... which is not my fault since I get threated with a gkick if I were to get saved.. *sigh*

Beginning to think I should leave with Deb.. the drama is so thick that I don't even want to log on.. World of Warcraft is supposed to be fun, not stressful... We're supposed to be running Ten Man Naxx tonight, we'll see how that goes..

Seren and I are going to make a Paladin/Preist Alliance combo.. get the badge gear since I have so many extra emblems and cover her in good gear.

Meh anyways, updates soon.

-Ory

AQ 20.. Ambassador, and weird things..

First of all, I got a new title, Ambassador Oryanna.. Seren, Roz and I worked all weekend with cloth turn ins and quests to get it done and boom, we all have the title.


We also did something kind of fun.

We went into AQ20.. well... 5 of us did.. Me, Seren, Roz, Deathknugget (Ryan), and Toxins, and we actually had a blast, granted we died a few times... but we need more ppl to make it work so we went on to ZG and roflstomped the place minus the last boss.

We're trying to get a good group run for Molten Core and AQ, so we can see the old content and have some fun.

I'm trying to put fun stuff together because it seems that there is nothing but drama in the guild, which is sad.. I noticed yesterday I am no longer an admin of the guild website that I have worked so hard on, so I am going to find out what's up with that..

Oh well, here's to hoping it clears up, if not, here's to hoping me and my friends can continue to play together. We all make a good team. (Deb, Zop, Roz, Seren, Ryan, and a few others)
