Should I stay or should I go now?

So I am almost level 76 and I still haven't quested anywhere other than Borean Tundra, Howling Fjord, and Dragonblight (which seems like it has the most quests I've ever seen in a single zone). Dragonblight is definitely beneath me now but I am having a hard time leaving the zone due to wanting to finish all of the excellent quest lines. The question I guess is: When is it time to move on to the next zone?

If I use the achievement for quests completed in a zone as my ruler for when I am "done" with a zone I'll be 80 before I finish the Grizzly Hills I think. On the other hand if I just use my level to determine which zone I should be in I would be missing out on all of the excellent quest chains (and the nice rewards that usually come at the end of these chains) and story lines I've been running into in each zone.

I guess I could always just come back later and finish off the questing in the zones. /sigh

When do you "move on"?

Got Trident?

If you are leveling a new Hunter through WotLK and are in need of a nice weapon upgrade set your sights on the Tidebreaker Trident. This item is purchasable for 50 x Winterfin Clam from Ahlurglgr after completing the quest Winterfin Commerce.

I was able to farm up 50 clams in about 25 minutes. Just dive down into the water right outside the Winterfin Village and start picking clams up off the ledges as well as the bottom of the trench. Don't worry about getting stuck down deep with no air, there is a bubble fissure at the bottom. Find that and add it to part or you farming route and you can just make routes up and down the east and west sides of the trench. Make sure to kill all the murlocs on the way too since they also will drop the clams.

Get yourself a cheap Greater Savagery enchant and you will have yourself a nice weapon that will last you quite a while. Have fun farming and enjoy your sexy new trident!

Misdirect Macro

When I hit Level 70 earlier this week I finally picked up Misdirection and I promptly wrote a new Macro to use it with.

First thing I always do in a group is set my focus to the main tank. So just click on the Main Tank and type:

/focus

and you are all set.

Then you can create a macro (all on one line):

/cast [target=focus,help] Misdirection; [help] Misdirection; [target=pet,exists] Misdirection

This will cast Misdirection on your focus. Or if you have a different group member selected cast Misdirection on them. Or lastly if none of those things are true (you are probably soloing) and it casts Misdirection on your pet. There are a lot of different types of Misdirect Macros out there, but this one seems to work for me.

A Busy Couple Days

I'll let the screenshot speak for itself:

Hunter Hits 70, Gets Big Gun

Yay! My hunter finally made it to 70! 6 days 20 hours /played

Apart from hitting 70 I also picked up a sweet quest reward gun (details to follow tomorrow night when I am not so tired) EDIT: Here it the gun's stats Fury of the Raging Dragon
