X-45 HEARTBREAKER!!!!!!!

Pictures uploaded on 2/14/23

Ok well, apparently my initial excitement for getting this mount was completely in my head. I only say that because I'd imagine myself opening this edit entry page and typing my little heart away about my pink rocket excitement. Over 10 fuckin years of farming (missing I think like 2 years here and there) for this mount. I'd expect to have done this right away!. You bet your ass I got my screenshots in, I wasn't gonna miss that of course. And I have a really bad habit of not writing things at the time when they are fresh in that pink squishy thing in my skull.

But! I don't know why I am surprised. I've been slacking on a lot of things that used to once bring me so much joy. Not gonna disclose any of that shit here, that's what my RL blog is for I guess right? I not gonna taint my WoW with super depressing shit.
Anywhos! So yeah! On fuckin Valentines Day (2/14/23) The pink rocket finally dropped for me. I'm sure my heart jumped and I might have squee'd to myself and maybe ugly cried for a sec. All my years of not giving up, even when I thought wtf is the point! Even to the point this year I was gonna give up. I'm glad I didn't.

HOWEVER!!!!! I was willing to give up running all my alts in there and just doing it once as the new drop chance rule changed. And what do you know. The last day I ran it, it did indeed drop on Deadskully.
New guildmate is an extreme mount collector at over 600 mounts. Thats insane! but its cool. We've been farming it for the same amount of our wow life and we both got it this year, his came several days before mine! Yay us!

And finally...
My toon run calculation, just for the heck of it and that this is the last time I will ever be keeping track of the love rocket holiday boss kill... I ran this dungeon 107 times this year for the mount. I only say "for the mount" because I went in there many more times just to run with Elo and guildies on their alts which doesn't count for me. I'm sure I wanted to write more but I'll end it here. 

OK... ok bye!

Love Rocket woes

I need to come to terms with the fact that I will not be getting this mount.
I am trying so hard to get it I really am. So many alts I haven't even touched for a long while is now getting some play time, or rather got some play time. But I think after hearing the news I got today; I think I'll be cutting back on the toons I'm taking in there. 

The name is fitting, "X-45 Heartbreaker". This thing indeed is breaking my heart right now. The pic here to the right, I'll tell a story about it at the end of this entry, cuz it's kinda funny. It's just in here because it's the only pic I have right now of someone on the rocket. 

Ok first off, The Love is in the Air event started on the 6th and will go until the 20th of this month (February). I currently have 49 toons that I'm running through these. I have 58 toons total, but the baby one's I'm not bothering with. Like the last post said, I know I will not run them all in there everyday... and of course, I haven't been. I got good news on Monday before the event. Apparently they upped the drop chance of this mount. Friggen sweet I thought! Im gonna run the shit out of this holiday dungeon and get my mount guarantee.
Then today rolls around and my world has been shattered to pieces. The upped drop chance will only effect your first toon you run in there per day, per battle.net account. After your first run of the day, the drop chance goes back to how it was prior to the increase if you choose to run it on alts. Oh for fuck sake!  Why am I even gonna bother running more than one toon. 

Super discouraged right now. On Tuesday, I ran 36 toons in there... 36!!!! what a fuckin psycho!

After hearing this news, my motivation is so shot. I mean there is no difference in the subsequent runs I'll be doing, but I think it's just knowing the fact that the rate is changed but I've farmed this so long I really don't see myself getting. I need to just stop crying about it. 

Dear Blizzard. I've been a loyal customer all these years. I don't ask for much, but I just want this rocket. To be honest I don't know why. If I do get it, I'ma just take a bunch of screenies and not ride it again. BUT just to have it will be very appreciated.

And finally that screenshot. I saw a Nelf DH on the pink rocket and I  "/cheer (d)" him. we exchanged emotes back and forth and then I left. Next day I saw him again and  "/wave"(d) at him. THEN I get a whisper from someone "Do I know you?". I said "I dont think so" then he proceeds to ask me why have I been waving at his alliance toon, and he told me it's name. Then I just told him , cuz I liked his rocket. We chatted for a bit and then he logged back onto his Ally toon. Nice dude. lucky MF'er.

Small Sunday Update

Alright... late update but hey, it's getting done.
Finally broke 1700 for my M+ rating. Really the only thing I'm excited about that is another level of gear upgrade was unlocked with that. As far as getting KSM this season, not super pushing like I was the end of last expac. I think it has a lot to do with the mount itself. Last season's Deathwalkers were so cool looking and they flew. This expansion's Armoredons are meh to me. I mean hello?, it is a mount and I should be salivating at that in itself, BUT, naw. I'm good. OR hello? it's an awesome achievement and another gear upgrade unlocks with the 2K rating. UGH! dammit now I have to push to get it. Goodness... so wishy washy huh...

Alright! enough of KSM. SO! My vault for Tuesday hopefully will bring me a nice 411 piece from the 15 we did. Missed timer by less than a minute, so I got it for vault, but not for the 15 key achievement. WTF EVER!!! 4 Bosses on heroic raid so 2 vault options for I believe has 402 gear, and the 12 for the next mythic vault slot I wanna say that was 405. I could use chest, bracers, belt, ring please!

Next awesome thing here. I hit maxed renowned with all the 4 major Dragonflight factions super excited about that! However, I really don't see the need to keep doing the rep grind for the overflowing rep bags. They have crap in them! I got 3 so far and I heard somewhere that there is chance to get a spark... A fuckin SPARK are you kidding me!?!?!? But I have yet to see one and all I've gotten was dragon isle supplies, cheapo potions, pet battle stuff and artifacts to turn in for more weak ass rep. Ugh! oh and about 1k gold. that's prolly the best thing in there really. 

Alright now! Love is in the air starts tomorrow... and please please Blizz let me get my Love Rocket this year. I'm hoping they will let me take non maxed toons in there. I'm sure they will... or at least level 50. I have so much toons at 50 it would be a huge shame if I can't run them. 

This psycho already has her excel tracker ready to go! I believe it's 48 toons I can run in there. I know I will not run them everyday, but I need the tracker cuz unless I'm spamming them all at one time, one after another, I know I will stop and pick it up later in the day and forget who I ran. I just hope really get it...
Also I'm still on my trek for Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest so I have to continue with Firelands. 

And finally, I'm super bummed, tomorrow starts Gen Ed on zoom. 6pm-10pm. Thats usually the time everyone in the guild plays especially raiding. So I can't make Thursday raids. But I did ask if they could stream it and I'll watch while in class. Just to have it on and quietly cheering my boys on is all I can do for the next 16 weeks. Starting to get me sad... OK I'll stop thinking about it, getting depressed over here :-(

OK... OK Bye!

New mounts

I did get a couple more mounts since the last time I wrote in here but I'll just post 3 of the big ones.
FIRST! Son of Galleon!
Geez this one was such a relief! I mean I have done the Panda world bosses on majority of my toons even after they upped the drop chance and I finally got this one to go along with the one from Nalak I got recently. Fricken sweet!!! Super happy here!

Next is the Abyss worm from Tomb of Sargeras raid from Legion. I only go in there for this mount and like Antorus, I run them 3 times each. All 3 difficulties N/H/M. and finally got this to drop for me. I can't wait till I get the mount from the Dogs cuz that one too is far to travel for it. But the dog mount looks soooo cool I really want it!!!

And finally, this is not a drop but when you hit Renowned 30 with the Tuskarr people, you can buy this. I love this thing so much! Battle Ottuk!!!

I don't like all the crap on it. I want a naked otter I don't know why... maybe because I don't want this little guy to look like he's struggling while he's running.

So this is my latest progress to my 400 mounts! 394... 6 more baby! I'm still debating on either when I get in the 2 or 3 range if I should just go buy some off the Blizz store...We'll see :-) lol
but anyways... its super late and I'm super tired.

I'll do another actual update soon... 

ok... ok bye!
