Where I Am Today



I've been playing wow off and on for about 6 to 7 years. The oldest achievement i have is Clockwork Rocket Bot, obtained in 2007. Im pretty sure my mage was the first to get this back in 2007, or it may have been my rogue :/



I have two chars at max level (90), Bella (Draenei Pally) and Bellah (Draenei Hunter). I have a load of alts, ranging from level 5-85. The class i am enjoying the most is Hunter, however i have also been spending a lot of time on my Pally completing achievements.

Bella
Bellah

My fave world is Pandaria because everything is still quite new and fresh, and i feel like i havent discovered it fully. There are also a stack of achievements Ive recently completed there. The Jade Forest is my fave zone within Pandaria.

The Jade Forest

As of 01/04/13, i have a total of 10330 Achievement Points, the majority being in the 'Dungeons & Raids' category. Within this category, I have completed all of the achievements up until TBC expansion, and after that would be Lich King (Still a lot of incomplete though).
The most recent achievements i have completed are from Archeology and discovering treasures within Pandaria. Another one which isn't displayed below, but i am very proud of is 'Master of Pandaren Cooking'. Finally got it completed, i just bought the mats to get me the last few points i needed as i was too impatient to farm for them!

Recent Achievements


As for my raiding situation - it's non existent at the moment! I have never commited to anything like what i did back in the Wrath days, with Uld and Naxx etc... My Hunter is geared, and i have actually done a little bit of Cata raiding (10 man stuff) in Dragon Soul raid as i was in a great guild and actually committed myself to learning as much about my class as possible.
In MoP, i have done some Raid Finder bosses, and am geared on my Hunter only. They were OK, but the 10 man stuff is what really interests me more than anything. I may need to find myself another guild that can offer it. Definitely none of the hardcore raiding though! 2 nights a week of raiding is my absolute maximum!

The highest LFR i am geared for. Lagging behind everyone else!

Throughout the coming days you will get to know the main characters i play, what projects i currently have going, and which achievements i am working on. Please feel free to leave a comment, or if you have any requests to what you'd like me to talk about!

A Little History

Hi everyone!

I think it is pretty hard to forget about the first time you discovered WoW. Weather it was someone who introduced it to you, or if you discovered it on your own, the first few hours spent in game are pretty unforgettable, and even more so if its your first MMO.

I was introduced to wow from an old work colleague, who was talking about a game that allows you to make potions, Armour, gather herbs and create your own unique character. It sounded like another world to me, and being quite impressionable i thought i would have a look at it the next time i went shopping.

I did not take to wow straight away, and have memories of wandering around Elwynn Forest on my human mage wondering what the hell i was supposed to be doing! Killing sheep and getting into all sorts of trouble. I was playing for an hour or so a night, not doing much at all, just walking around while trying to get used to all of the buttons etc.

I stopped playing the game, and my boyfriend decided to give it a go, because he found out that someone at his work played. He started a char on the same server as his friend, and the learning processes for both of us started.

We bought a second game, so we could play and discover at the same time, and his friend gave us about 5g each, i remember this clearly thinking that we were the richest level 1's on the server, and that we would never be able to spend that much money!

Questing together on Emilicious the Mage and Kopite the Rogue.



Throughout the next couple of months, we experienced out first dungeon run through Deadmines which was an exciting experience, we joined a guild and did A LOT of questing.

Our first run through Deadmines


We saw the launch of TBC which was probably my most favorite expansion. My first experience at raiding Kara will stay with me forever!

By this time i decided i wanted to play a Blood Elf because i loved the way the looked, and my first char to 70 was a rogue :)


With raiding experience throughout TBC, Wrath and Cata i now like to take a more relaxed view of the game, by questing, exploring and completing Achievements.

I hope you enjoy reading my journal and experience the many aspects of the game with me :) Please subscribe if you like it, so i know at least someone is reading it!
