Deadskullys

Why wouldn't I have Deadskully's on all my servers?
Here's the criteria for all my Deadskullys:
  • They will always be Demonology spec
  • They will always have the same weapon transmog (Frost Scythe for staff mog, and dual purple star wands for main and off hand)
  • They will always wear the White linen Robe (Its a simple dress)
  • They will always wear the White Bandit mask (because the Undead face isn't to my liking anymore)
  • Feet, shoulders, hands, bracers, belt are always hidden.
  • Undead will always have purple pigtails(human can't have pigtails)
  • They will always have a Wrathguard (Glyph of Wrathguard)

Besides Hyjal Skully I dabble on the other two and gear them more then my other alts. They are the leaders on the other servers and I need one strong toon to possibly have a successful server per my standards (which isn't very high).  
 A while ago, when I had 4 other accounts, I had made a bunch more Deadskullys on other servers just to lock the name so no one else can use it. A couple years ago there were two others with the name that did not belong to me. Who ever had it either deleted the toons or no longer plays the game. When I look on Armory now the only 3 are mine. Good, the way it should be. It's not a common, clever, or even highly sought after name so I really shouldn't worry about it. But for some selfish reason I do. 
Hyjal Deadskully has always been my main and she will always be my main. She's simple, she's cute, she's sweet, but piss her off and she will make you regret it. She is not vindictive and does not hold grudges, but her minions will hunt you down to no ends if you mess with her. She has friends, but prefers to keep to herself, with the exception of Dags. I take a lot of that into my RL. I like to think She is a lot like me. The crazy in me feels she is me. I spent a lot of my time playing WoW. I've spend a lot of time with her. She's helped me through really hard times and made me forget RL shit. I know this kind of stuff is not uncommon and a lot of people go through this and find WoW to be an outlet. I have never found someone who plays like me. I would shit myself I ever found someone like that. Not only the amount of time, but also how I play. I like the chatty social part but I also like the solo quietness.  I have no life I guess. Oh well. It keeps me company in a very lonely, hate filled world. However with getting called back to work and starting school in a month I think my time will be very limited. I will play, but obviously not as often as my Covid lockdown play time.
Thank you WoW and Deadskully for everything.
Shameless selfie... Did I mention my name is Skully.
Yes people call me that in RL <3

So many LOCKS!!!!

Alright! so I know I have wrote about my toons as a whole many times but I don't think I focused on Locks specifically. So here it is.
Hyjal has my least amount of locks but all of them are 120. Aww crap nevermind I do have Killerskully at 66. Well I will most likely delete her in the near future so she doesn't count(I'm actually too lazy to go take another screenshot right now). [Edit: I did take another screenshot] She is just however holding onto my second bank guild at the moment with most of my other alts in my main bank guild. I've written about Hyjal toons many times over so I won't really repeat myself here further.
Lothar, from my previous post, is now my Alliance server, as seen of my deletion of 3 Horde toons, 2 of them being locks. My Locks on here were made because I wanted to see what Alliance stuff had around. For a really long time I had no Alliance toons because I was loyal to the Horde and felt I'd be a traitor if I played alliance as well haha. Although low level, they are not new. I've had them sitting forever at these levels (well besides my Void elf, she's fairly new). Longer then some Hyjal locks. But because they are Alliance I just don't play them very much. I will get around to it one day, maybe. 
Alexstrasza Locks... Now these are toons that were made because I felt the itch to level locks. I always go through spats of wanting to level a lock from level 1 and I can level them fairly quickly, heirlooms aside. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that I play Horde 99% of the time and I know where to go for the quests and I don't have to read the quests or look at my map to see what area the quests need to be completed. I am more comfortable questing as opposed to running dungeons. And I prefer to quest solo and play at my own pace. People tend to brb a lot and that slows me down. I mean don't get me wrong, I ain't saying I'm a machine and I don't take pee breaks or anything but that's just another reason why I like to play solo I guess. I do what I want, when I want and have no obligations to wait or be waited on.
Alright and that's all my Locks as of now. I'm sure there will more made. Especially come Shadowlands when the new Allied races come.

Heritage Armor so far

So far these are the Heritage armor I've collected.
From what I've read, which is not much, come Shadowlands, they'll give us more race Heritage armor. YaY! I don't like to see what heritage looks like before I unlock it, I like to be surprised.
Not much explaining with these, just mainly here for the screenshots.
Blood elf Heritage. I got this first. I unlocked it with my Bloof Elf Hunter Mishel. I had no idea what I was questing for, I just went through it all. And maybe like the second to the last quest I looked at WoWhead and saw what the heck I was working towards. After the first one, I needed to work for the rest. I mean, come on!,,, Its transmog, I love it!
I love that The Highmountain tauren have the totems on the back. So burly and such a cool looking set. I was having trouble finding a Staff that matches. but I found one. looks pretty druidy...lol yeah I just made that a word. 
Nightborne Hertiage was pretty. She is a lock so I got her up real quick when I pushed. Mogged a book in her offhand. I like the mog.
I love my little Vulpera, however I'm not too excited about this. I think the only thing I like is the little backpack that they have. Couldn't really find a wand to match and the offhand as a friggen leg of ham. She's a lock as well but she was my next heritage armor I unlocked and I levelled her as Destro, so it wasn't as fast as Moon, due to relearning how to play a destro lock. But like always I learned quick. 
Zandalari Troll is a Mage. I usually play Frost. Christene is my Frost mage that I'm very familiar with. Fire was a spec that is supposed to be the better out of the 3 but I have never played fire until now, it was always Arcane and Frost. As I levelled, I had moments of good and bad. I'm not super comfortable with AoE damage but single target I can kill stuff fast. Anywhos back to the Heritage gear. This looked like I expected. I mainly pictured the gear you get while questing in Zandalar, just more supped up. The feathers are glowey blue so I needed to mog a staff that was glowey blue. I did a good job. Oh yes and I didn't max this toon yet. she still sits at 111.
So here is the list of of achieves for my Allied and Heritage. The bottom has the Allied that I have yet to get Heritage for. My Mag'har orc will be next. She's only 50 atm. I need to push her but I've been so lazy to level again. Get on it!

Alexstrasza


I don't quite know what screenshots to put up here without repeating them in several other entries.  So I'll just leave it blank. Oh nevermind, I'll just put a character list screenie.
Why did you make toons on another server?
First off at the time one server had a limit of 10 toons I believe. I was wanting to level more locks with different specs. After I did that I wanted to try to make a fully sustainable server like Hyjal. I needed to make toons with every profession. At the time I didn't think about having every class. Well at lease at least one of every gear wearer. I wasn't super into transmog as I am now. A lot of it has to do with the fact that back then you had to hold onto the gear, and they weren't account bound. Now when you equip it on one toon, they get available to all toons that wear that gear type, of course unless its class specific. Then you can vendor it. I do not have a leather wearer on this server. I've been torn about making a new toon or not. I might do it, I don't know.
I also wanted to try to play on a low pop server. At that time, Hyjal was a high pop server, never "full" but always high. I was wanting a change. I stopped being a really a big social player so it wasn't a big deal going to an empty server. I wanted the quiet and not being bothered by people questing and stealing my kills or herbs and ore. Thats right! herbs and ore was fought over back then. once someone gets it, it disappears... now they don't, thankfully. Well it did really mess with the selling prices when they implemented lasting nodes. Auction prices went down, what a jip! The useful class to use for farming is a Druid. A tauren druid to be exact... Highmountain or regular, don't matter. Taurens herb fast and I didn't know this but my Hyjal highmountain tauren mines fast too. If I do make a druid, it will be that race. 
This server also has a couple toons named after Hyjal Deadskully's Wrathguard. I was super, boarderline obsessed with him. I loved him so much... still do, it's extremely sad. I have not switched to another spec because Demonology is the only spec that will let me keep him. Anywhos, so yeah, he needed to be a spec that can protect you... So a Paladin, Warrior, or Death Knight. 
Alright, and finally.... 
Why did I choose Alexstrasza? I know I said I was looking for a low pop server, but why this one specifically? Cata expansion is when you really get to know The Life Binder. I saw her for the first time and thought she was the prettiest Dragon aspect, sorry Ysera. So that was pretty much the reasoning behind choosing this server specifically.
So that is my Alexstrasza server story. Most of this is probably repetitive from other blog entries but oh well :-)

Lothar

Lothar is my Alliance server as I've said many a time prior. But until last night It wasn't fully Ally. I had 3 Horde still hanging around. I don't have a Horde bank guild on this server so I really have no reason to keep them here. I initially played on this server because an old friend moved servers and I wanted to follow. Moved Horde Deadskully there and made a couple toons. Moved her back to Hyjal when they stopped playing. Kept the server and made more toons. Wanted to try Alliance stuff because I needed Faction specific achievements. Made human Deadskully because when I used to write my WoW stories I wanted to use her as a version of Deadskully when she was alive. Never got around to writing anything though. I always say I'll start but I never come up with anything.
Anywhos, so this is Alliance Deadskully with her Wrathguard Arixgorod. I call him Arix for short. 
And these were my last Horde on Lothar. It pained me to delete a level 90 toon but it needed to be done. I'm sure come Shadowlands they will increase the amount of toons you can have per account, but just in case they don't, I now have room for 4 more toons. I currently have 46 across 3 servers.
 RIP Lothar Horde.

My nutso tracking sheets

Oh boy, I said I'd do it!...so here we go... 
These are the main sheets I use for my toons. I mostly use 2, The emissary daily one and the gear one. 
The first one here is what I use to track the emissary dailies on my 120s... Besides the toons and the dates, Its blank when I print it out but I filled in what I did so far this month just for an example of how I fill it out. I write the emissary and the rewards at the top above the date and then put and "x" when I do them. The dots are for toons that I don't need the gear for.  I usually only put those on Azurite gear and not leave them blank like the other rewards, just so I know I checked and I don't have to log onto them again. I don't care about the mana pearls anymore. I only have been doing Azurite on toons that do not have level 80 for the Heart of Azeroth. So pretty much all the new 120 toons are the ones that needs it. But sometimes ill do them on other toons just because, and yes I knoew it also raises IL on the HoA. Aside from the Azurite gear, the regular gear I need on all my toons besides Horde Deadskully. I Usually do them with her because I like to disenchant them for the Titan Residuum and enchanting mats. The War Resources I usually only do them with new toons. Actually scratch that... I've been on my WoW Companion app on my phone a lot lately so I been spending more resources faster then I can get them of course because I haven't been doing anything but emissary specific World quests. Ugh! so much to do! And finally the gold. All of my toons WILL get my gold for me. I wasn't really doing the gold ones HOWEVER, as explained in my previous post of my super dumb heirloom gold dump I will do them from now on. 15 toons on Hyjal at 2000 gold a pop... thats 30k I can get on gold days. My guild bank needs to get above 1 mil again ASAP! Oh yeah and Deadskully(A) is my Alliance on Lothar so her emissaries are different, I just mark it for the days I do them and does not reflect the rewards I get.
Alright so next is the Raid tracker... pretty much needs no explanation. check them as I go. I actually have not done any this week. This used to have checks all the way through ICC( for invincible), Molten Core (for gear set), Ulduar (for Mimron's head), Dragon Soul (for Experiment 12B), Mogushan Vaults (for Astral Cloud serpent) and Firelands (for Pureblood Fire Hawk). I only got 2 so far, Invincible and the serpent. After I got Invincible I guess I felt so content. However I am 27 mounts away from the next mount achievement and that's kind of far so I'm not pushing for it hard. If I was closer I'd try more I think. I can get 6 from the WoW shop, BUT do I really wanna spend that much money for an achievement? heck no!... well I have done it in the past sooooo... The rest I do for Transmog stuff really. But I haven't been checking for them really. Sadness 
Alright and this last tracker I use a lot as well. I use pencil of course. The only reason I'd need a new paper is because I get another toon to 120 and have to add them, I used to leave blank spaces below and just write them in, BUT I don't like that cuz it needs to be pretty and colorful. So as I get new gear I write the Item levels in there to see what World Quests I need go do to upgrade their gear. Pencil because I constantly erase when I get new gear. If I'm on another toon I can check my paper and look at their map and see if any WQs have gear that another toon needs. So as I'm saying this I'm thinking about the 2 toons that I have closing in on 120. Leinaala on Hyjal and Deadskully (yes another Deadskully, and yes another Lock) on Alexstrasza. I just started playing her again got her to 114. SOOOooooo All my 3 servers will have maxed Deadskullys. HAHA! Anywhos... when they hit, I will not be remaking this sheet, I will just start a seperate one... Dammit as I'm thinking about it I don't think I'll like that. I'll prolly just make a new sheet with everyone on it. Oh for petes sake... what is that all OCD? just plain psycho? Oh well, that's me! 
If this entry didn't make me look like a complete nut job I really don't know what will. I guess it just shows how much I love this game and how much time and effort I put into it. I have no social life anymore. WoW is pretty much my life. Its what makes me happy and has been for the last 14 years... well with a break in there... but we won't talk about that, it doesn't count! <3

Heirloom gear and my mess ups.

Heirloom gear... a big time must while levelling alts. So I wanted to write this because I made a big mistake when recently purchasing upgrades, and I needed to vent my idiocy. So this might not be a huge oopsie but I feel like it was. I wasted so much gold on these unnecessary upgrades. First off, I think for most the gear, upgrading to 110 should have been enough.
With BfA Azurite gear, I'd pick that over the exp buff for the trek through 110 to 120. Head, Shoulder and Chest. mind you that is 5k gold for each gear to upgrade to 120... so much gold. Next waste is for the Weapons upgrade. 100 is the max I should have done and stopped buying upgrades after that. 3k gold to get it to 110 and 7500 gold to get it to 120. Legion has you obtain the Artifact weapons for 100 to 110 so I use that over Heirloom gear obviously. And BfA has a nice weapon with better stats So I always pick that one as well. 
My screenshot here is just of my cloth gear. I usually level Locks so I though I had to make all the Haste/Crit gear fully upgraded. Oh yeah and I also did all the plate because I have a Paladins and Warriors to level. Such an expensive mistake. I went there initially to get my leather gear upgraded for Leinaala my Druid, and I guess I just went crazy and I was getting excited having all of them turn gold when I got them to 120. I kick myself now because my guild bank dipped below 1mil gold. ugh, so annoyed! Well lesson learned.
So to end this....
the only gear I should have fully upgraded was Legs, and Rings. Trinks and necks are a waste because there is no exp buff for those and you can always get those while questing or running dungeons. 
My bad... Never make that mistake again. I feel dumb. /cry

Allied races, Heritage armor and Rep

My Allied races...
Alright so I have not unlocked them all yet. I have all the Horde ones of course but I still need 2 more Alliance ones. For some reason I think Alliance ones are a bit harder to get then the Horde ones were. I really can't remember what I needed to do for the Horde ones but the Alliance ones got me running dungeons and stuff. What the heck!. Im half way through unlocking the KulTiran but I stopped pushing for it like a month ago. And the Mechagnome fuck that one, Rustbolt rep to exalted will really take me forever. Now you would think it's not that bad, but I hardly play my Alliance so this will take a while. Shadowlands are getting a couple more Allied races so I gotta start on this now. ugh, but I don't wanna! /cry
So I am also working on my Allied Horde's Heritage armor. Just gotta get them to 110 and you get it. I got my Nightborne and Vulpera maxed and working on getting my Highmountain Tauren to max as well, but I got her to 110 and got my Heritage Armor. I levelled her with the Midsummer exp buff from the mid 60s to 111. The event is done and I'm debating on doing Darkmoon ride for another buff, but its annoying to run there all the time and I dont feel like doing stuff to get the exp Darkmoon Hat. I'll just level her the rest of the way with no buffs but some loom gear. But my main thing was to get the Heritage. I'm thinking I should take it easy with her as I'm very obsessed with getting gear for all my 120s and I'm having a hard time doing anything else ingame besides running everyone everyday for those. It is time consuming.
My exalted reputations needs do get done. I want this Pureheart horse! Its not a flying horse or anything but its pretty. I'm usually always good at getting reputaion achievements and this one I need my Alliance help with. ugh! I'll get it soon... hopefully. Storms Wake is close for Alliance Deadskully and Rajani and Uldum rep for Deadskully Horde. I just gotta leave my alts alone and get it done! nah. 
Next are my Allied races I need to get my Heritage... and eventually get maxed as well.
Leinaala is 111 now... Heritage done.
These 2 most likely I will level before the Alliance ones. Mag'har Orc and Zandalari Troll.

Avianna is my Alliance Lightforged Draenei Paladin No reason for the name. just thought it sounded pretty. Looked like it fit her. I made her Paladin because I think that's what I think of when I imagine the Lightforged Race.
Voidskully is my Void Elf Warlock. Void elves just look like they need to be warlocks and usually when I add Skully at the end of a toons' name I just can't think of anything to call them.. haha... as proof in the next toon...
Ironskully is my Dark Iron Dwarf Warrior. When I unlocked this race I was levelling Tinkerbull my Hyjal Warrior. I was having fun playing her and I really liked the idea of a Dwarf Warrior. Short, sturdy but can hack the shit out of you. 

Alrightee so this was all my Allied races. I know I still need to unlock the other 2 Alliance ones but I'm really not motivated to do Alliance stuff. I'll get around to it... one day.

Invincible... FINALLY!!!!

It's been about a week since I got this mount. I started this entry the night I got him. Fuckin' INVINCIBLE!!!! I was so happy! Finally my years and years of hoping this mount would drop for me and it finally did. So because im super psycho I had a run list tracker going. It actually has all the raids listed and all my maxed level toons and I put checks as I do the raids for that week. I know the altoholic addon keeps track of it, but I like a physical sheet in front of me for them. Maybe I'll make another post for all my sheets of random things I like to keep track for my toons. Maybe.... well it will definetly show how crazy and how much of a loser I am.  haha. Well shit, I make a blog for my life on World of Warcraft sooo what difference does it really make... fuck it, ima do it.
Anywhos, getting back to my awesome drop. So my tracker had me run this exactly 140 times through all my toons... and who does it fuckin drop for?... my newly 120 Lock Moonskully (Lunakeiki at the time) first time running in there. She is currently in a guild so sure as shit this popped for all to see. Im actually glad I got to share my excitement with some people. My Battle.net was glitchy so I wasnt able too see anything from the guild or type in gchat. I had to log out then back in and see everyones reactions.
Alright so this is also the time I shall retire my Headless Horseman mount. This was my trusty steed for the past 10 years. I loved it because it was a drop from the Hallows End Holiday boss and it was a cool flying horse without distracting flapping wings. I like minimal flappy things while im flying. Invincible will be exception. Its just too beautiful I have to overlook it. Thank you for many years, flying me around Azeroth Headless. I am very grateful, Now you may rest.
I don't really know what else mount drop I wanna run religiously next. My wow time lately has been taken up by doing emissary and getting gear for my 16 toons. I stopped running Ulduar for Mimrons head a while ago. Maybe ill start back up with that one.... maybe.
And finally to end this... a couple screenies of Invincible... I'm so happy.
