We had a thought

We have noticed something interesting. Even though it should theoretically be easy to keep a log of our life up to date, this is showing to be exceedingly difficult. We might have to do something about that. And the first thing we should do is sift through all the pictures that has been taken of us and our friends, edit them, tweak them, make them look pretty and post them. You know, so people will know who we are. We took some lovely pictures of us in our city-gear, after all... And there are so many gear upgrades to show off, too. We will go do that now.

For your information.

We need to post new pictures of ourself. New gear means new picture needed. And this time we will try to get a picture where Luna is included.

A good day, it was.

We cannot believe our luck on Saturday. We ran lots of instances, starting with the Mechanar, where Pathaleon the Calculator was kind enough to drop the Abacus of Violent Odds. Then we visited him again because our shadow priest friend Repina needed something there, and he dropped the Beast Lord Helm. After than, we went to the Botanica, where Warp Splinter was considerate enough to drop the Beast Lord Cuirass. So we are very pleased. Now we just need to get Warlord Kalithresh to drop the Beast Lord Leggings, so we can keep the 4 set bonus from the Beast Lord Armor when we change the cuirass with the Ebon Netherscale Breastplate. Though it is not critical yet, as we still lack 15 skillpoints and many, many primals before we can craft the breastplate.

We are ready for Karazhan, though. So now we just need some more raids while waiting for better gear.

Oh our stars and garters!

We just did some research, and apparently this drops off trash mobs in Sunwell Plateau. Almost makes us glad we do not have our engineering higher than we currently have. Because these are really desirable, and we will want them if we can get our greedy hands on them. They will be a huge update from these, though perhaps we should get our engineering up to their level before we start pining about that pattern. We do not expect to see Sunwell Plateau any time soon.

We have been to Karazhan.

Since last time, our lovely guild invited us to tag along to Karazhan, and we could of course not refuse, even though that meant standing up our friends we were going to heroic Mechanar with. We think it was worth it, though, and when they saw what it earned us, they could not agree more. We were extremely lucky and got our first non-welfare epic, the Legacy, which the Crone generously dropped for us. It meant that we lost our shot at the Fiend Slayer Boots from the Chess event, but it was still well worth it. And now we are just 2 Badges of Justice away from the Choker of Vile Intent. That choker will mean that we are just 20 hit points away from cap. Yes, we are excited.

And we must admit that it felt really nice to be told by our guild of Serpentshrine Cavern-geared raiders that we did very well in Kara. We are hoping the experience will be repeated soon, as we had to split before Prince, and we do want to meet him too.

Warlord Kalithresh was also thoughtful enough to drop our Beast Lord Mantle the other night, while at the same time giving us the reputation with the Cenarion Expedition we needed to finally get the Glyph of Ferocity we have been wanting for a while now. So yes, we are extremely pleased with this week.

I did it.

I finally got my Gnome Engineer Membership Card today. It was well worth it, but I am going to need more ingredients before I can continue with my training. I am hoping my paladin friend SvennO can help me with some of the metal parts, and my hunter friend Vinternatt has promised me leather and scales. And I might have to concentrate a bit more on my leatherworking. I still want the Ebon Netherscale set, but I am afraid it is going to take some time before I am proficient enough in dragonscale leatherworking to be able to craft the set.

I just thought I would inform...

Well, I have now spoken with Tinkmaster Overspark about my training in gnomish engineering. He seemed happy for my interest, but still demanded proof of my skills. I can understand this, though, and will hopefully be capable of providing him with the demanded items sometime tomorrow. At least if I can get my hands on enough Steel Bars. That he wants an Accurate Scope as well, means I will have to craft two of them, since I want one for my Valanos' Longbow as well. But that should not be too much of a problem.

What all this means, is that I am so much closer to get my hands on a pair of Surestrike Goggles v2.0. They will benefit both me and Luna, and will be a lot better than the Stalker's Chain Helm we are currently equipping.

I would like to introduce myself.

Greetings.

This here is our first attempt at telling our story to others than our previous and current guilds.

We are me, Souvraya Darkwhyn, a night elf hunter of the 70th season, trained in Beast Mastery, and my trusty nightsaber Luna, also of the 70th season. I have posted a little picture of myself to let you know what I look like. Later I might try to find a picture of us together, preferably taken during the day rather than the night, as the lighting is so much better for picture taking then. I suppose that just because we can see in the dark, not everyone else can, and the rather bad camera I found certainly cannot handle dusk or darker.

I just realised that you cannot see my scar in that picture... Oh well, I will tell you that story another time. I might also have to introduce you all to my trusty gnome friend Hiiro, who is kind enough to take care of much of my banking for me.

I can, other than that, inform that it is a bit expensive to train engineering from scratch, and I am already missing the possibility of skinning what I kill. Luckily, my dear friend Vinnie has offered to supply me with the leather I need for my leatherworking. I do not know what we would do without our dear, supportive friends.

I will write more at a later time, and perhaps introduce you to some of my other friends.

Best regards,

Souvraya Darkwhyn,

Raven of The Raven Council
