Grinding for Gold

Well it sucks! I was the first in the guild to reach 70 but was not the first to get my flying epic mount. I figured that with the jump start i had on every one else that i would be the first or one of the first to snag my epic mount. Well that couldnt be further from the truth. How could they raise that much gold so quickly i asked. Well apperantly they got really lucky and got a BOE Epic drop from a random mob that sold for 3k gold.

Why can't I be that lucky for that to happen to me? All i know that I am 3k away from obtaining a epic flying mount and dont see one in the near future. Well shit.

On a side note im hoping that blizz will continue the quest line to obtain rep with the netherdrakes so maybe that when i get enough rep i will have the money to buy the riding skill and get a netherdrake. Man they look so hot. Better than some tired old gryphon that i see everytime i travel somewhere in the world. Atleast blizz would have given us the hypogryphs around kalimdor.

Well its been a while since I have posted anything on my blog but should get back into the swing of things now. I had taken a few days off of work to push to level 70. I wasn't as fast as a lot of people, but was able to ding atleast 1 level a day. I mainly did questing to level which was very tiring. I basically spent 18 hours a day for 1 level. That left me with 6 hours of sleep which wasnt too bad. I was the first in the guild to hit 70 by 4 days being the next.

But now that im 70 I have had to wait for everyone else to catch up to me. We have i think 6 70's in the guild. That still leaves 4 spots to even start hitting the 10 man content. I kinda feel that I have out grown my guild. My play style has changed a lot since the expansion has come out and im now more in the fast paced of things. My guild was never considered hard core by any means, but it leaves me yerning for something more. I feel like my time is being wasted by sitting idol waiting or helping others to reach max level when they, themselves, have a more relaxed pace at doing things.

I have upgraded nearly all of my gear with greens and blues along the way but am now at all blues and few epics left over. I'm really glad that I did the pvp grind for my GM mage blade. I have seen a few caster sword/daggers drop that were close but no cigar to the mage blade.

Now I'm at the point of farming for gold. I have put most everything else on the back burner to this as I really want my epic flying mount. I got the standard flying mount only for it to be bitter sweet. I am glad i got one as there is some content only accesable with one but god is it ever slow. At 60% speed increase it makes it slower than my regular epic mount at 100%. But the epic flying mount is a 280% speed increase! So far my farming for gold has been allright. Not as quick as i would like as the AH always gets skewed as people always try to undercut you for the quick sale. I wish I would have farmed leather quicker when the market is high and there were few 70's on the server. Now the AH is flooded with shit and has caused me to curse at the morons that fuck everything up.
