I made it. I achieved the extraordinarily modest and obtainable purpose of hitting the extent cap in Cataclysm Basic. I imply, it was simply 5 ranges. How onerous might it’s?
The second this previous weekend
Nicely, it was a bit extra taxing in that I had a secondary purpose of “ending” every of the 5 overland zones, the place “ending” means getting the search achievement. That meant that though I had hit stage 85 in the course of the Twilight Highlands zone I couldn’t simply cease, as was my inclination. I needed to carry on going.
Although, I’ll admit, the money rewards for doing so have been fairly good. As in previous expansions, doing quests as soon as you might be on the cap yields gold in lieu of expertise, and quests in Twilight Highlands hand out 30-50 gold per which I, a toddler of the poverty of vanilla, discover to be an astounding windfall.
Anyway, that took a little bit of the chunk of working down quests to the bitter finish within the zone… although it isn’t like it’s important to go to absolutely the bitter finish the way in which you probably did in Northrend. You find yourself with the achievement nicely earlier than you get to the grand finale of the zone. However in some zones my curiosity doesn’t prolong previous the achievement.
So I nonetheless have a overview publish due right here for Twilight Highlands and Uldum. I’ll get to these in a bit. Considered one of my alts is wrapping up in Uldum whereas Wilhelm moved straight to Twilight Highlands when he hit 84. The gear and drops and such are higher once you transfer to the subsequent zone, so the inducement to remain again is barely for many who need that achievement of who need to see the zone story line by to the tip.
Of the six characters I had at stage cap on the finish of Wrath of the Lich King, I now have one on the stage cap and one at stage 84. That’s Irondam, my dying knight, and he’s the one out in Uldum, ending up that zone.
The opposite 4 are between stage 80 and 82 and simply hanging round. I think I’ll watch for the return of the Joyous Journeys xp buff earlier than I attempt to soar any of them as much as stage cap. I began out considering simply 5 ranges wouldn’t maintain them again… after which I did the 5 ranges. It isn’t dangerous, however it doesn’t carry me any type of Marie Kondo sense of pleasure both.
All of which explains why I’ve been slacking off a bit on the Cataclysm Basic entrance. We nonetheless have one other six months of this. Whereas there are nonetheless dungeons to be executed, the group does that one afternoon per week at most. So I’ve felt free to get lost to different issues.
