Dear Warcraft Diary (Part Nine)
Had my first “please run this instance with me with your overlevelled character” moment last night. I realized that the staves my mages had were disgustingly out of date, and I needed to get something a little better. So Colin and one of Mark’s friends ran the Omplettes through the Scarlet Monastery Library (woo, my first time in that instance) three times to get a pair of these. That could pretty much last them until Outland, honestly. Kind of pathetic how Frostmourne is more than 10 times more powerful. You’ve got so far to go, little mages!
On the topic of gear, I’m really sad/glad to say that I’m pretty sure it’s my favorite part of the game. It scratches this primal itch in my brain that starts up when I realize that the benefits of levelling up would be even awesomer were my stats higher. Plus that rare drop feels special! Much more special than that expensive crap on the auction house… This leads me to believe that I will really enjoy the game at the level cap, which is both exciting and depressing! “Halfway” there, by the way. The girls are about to hit 36.
