Winter veil and stuff

Gonna keep this one short as I am super tired but I wanna get it out as I do have a late Screenshot-a-day post I'm gonna link this entry on.
First... YAY! I got the Winter Veil Dragon skin! I ran this 57 times on my toons before it dropped for my hunter last Wednesday the 20th, so my screenshot is of my hunter on it. I'm so happy!! I'm still running the Holiday boss on a couple toons cuz apparently I am still getting toys and pets that I never got from prior years cuz I stopped running this a long ass time ago.

Next I got my 500th toy achieve! The Murglasses is so funny. When I put them on I see everyone, even NPCs as murlocks. Too funny, I was getting a kick outta that.

So this next one made my Christmas. Elo and Daisy got me 2 BlizzStore pets! (I had to cross out something in the pic cuz it had Elo's real name on that lol)
Twilight and Shadow are super adorable. Twilight changes 3 colors! I love them so much. Elo and Daisy are too fuckin sweet to me. they know what makes me happy lol.

Alrightee what else happened...
Ahh yes, I was feeling down again and really not wanting to play with the guild for a bit. So I did kinda say I was gonna take a break from Deadskully, but people in my guild are so sweet. I got several messages saying not to leave/stop playing. And I can't ignore those. I have been on my alts more that are in different guilds, but nothing really compares to Midlife Gamers.

I am someone who watches how people treat others, how guilds interact with their members, especially how guild leaders treat their guildies. No other guild I found has this. I do give a shit about people in the guild. If they take the time to interact and be social and that's what they want out of the guild, then I'm all for it. We'll include you. On the downside, not all our officers play like that. Not all of them are about the "guild" and rather pushing their own io and stuff. Whole guild satisfaction and making sure people are happy isn't at the top of their lists.... and that's probably the only thing I'm disappointed in, BUT this is just a game and people play differently then others. Can't please everyone.

And finally!
I always wanted to know what the heck this green shit was...
I finally saw someone use it while waiting for the holiday boss yesterday, took a screenshot, posted it in discord and asked. Indeed it is a toy from a Legion quest chain, but was told that you can't get it anymore aside from seeing if someone is selling it on the AH.
150K gold later... The Pocket Fel Spreader is MINE! I ruined our benches... Sorry!

Mid December update and AOTC baby!!!!

So last night we got this. Yay. 
Sadly I just found out that although it was a great moment, things overshadowed what was seemingly an awesome feat. It's stuff that I really don't want to know but when it effects the core, that's the shitty part. It feels like being stuck in the middle of your two parents having a disagreement. 
Nonetheless, we got Heroic Fyrakk down as a guild group, no pugs.  

And here is where I stand as of tonight. Just hit my 2500 io!!! I was so excited!!!!! I have a lot of low fortifieds, I really think I can get to 2600. Like with everyweek, everyone is "Oh this is a push week" then when the week actually comes, they're like "this week sucks". But we'll see if my drive to log in and play on this toon will still be there in the next couple days. Not feeling good and all the tension between everyone just sucks. 

And to end this on an amusing note. This guy right here used to be in our guild. Apparently he went and told my alt's guild we're standoffish (or "offstandish" how this fuckin idiot put it). First off. He hardly talked in guild chat, joined discord a couple times, declined doing keys because they were too high for him, but didn't ask if we could do lower ones with him. Asked for guildies to make stuff for him, and when we did he praises how much he loves us. I looked at this il... Bitch was only 439 and had 5 20s done... oh what is this? you got hard carried by someone in tank spec to funnel you gear? every single 20 had 2 tanks 2 dps and a heals. I just checked IL shot up to 467 real fast eh!. If I was a dick I would whisper an officer and she'd kick his ass. BUT, unlike this asshole I'm not gonna go around the game and talk bad about people. Just take your ball somewhere else, don't need to say anything cuz you never know when others are listening. If he was more interactive, I'm sure we would have helped... But we appreciate when players can play for themselves and not pay for those hard carry runs. I appreciate this guild that we don't have people that exploit others... however, I'm sure that's how guilds make gold so they can get what they need for their raid team. Hold up! that's not a bad idea... We need to buy every motherfucker a flavor pocket!

Happy Winter Veil!!!!

 It's that time of the year again!
Winter Veil has rolled around again and with it brings a toy and a new dragon skin. The new skin comes in 2 parts. one helm that has antlers, a red nose and red ribbons., the body armor has a santa sled seat, leg guards and a collar.  And the toy I this is just a pepe on a sled. I got it but didn't bring it out to see what it does.

I will be honest here, I was getting a bunch of new pets and toys when I had my alts run the daily and Im pretty sure they weren't new as I have not ran ANY winter veil things for many many years. When I got the violet proto I think thats when I stopped. but I check to see achieves every expac. So really if anything new was dropping off the holiday boss and in the presents, I would have no idea. Oh well, I'm getting them all now lol. YAY!

So the Holiday boss is the Greench Yeti in Alterac above Hillsbrad Foothills. The junk part about this one is that you have to actually go there and its not a Que up boss, like the other events. I'm pretty sure the drop rate is like the other ones now where you run one alt per Bnet account and they have the best chance to get it and everyother alt you run has the .000001% chance or some dumb shit like that. But what ever, I'm still gonna run my alts in there... kill the Yeti, free Metzen and open my gift reward hoping I'll get lucky. 

The Brewfest mount eluded me and my alts this year...
But Skully, what do you care? you won't even use it...
THAT'S NOT THE POINT! I need it very much, I'm a collector! and maybe I'll feel in the festive mood someday and roll around with it.
ANYWAYS!!! so for the past 3 days that Winter Veil has been out I have ran this 38 times spread between 18 alts. Thats not even all of my alts I can take there but it does get tiring. LOL
SO! this is my shortcut to get there on my alts. 
Get quest in Org > teleport to Undercity > fly to Tarren mill > set hearth to Tarren Mill > kill Greench > use Orgrimmar cloak teleport > turn in quest = Done

Next day: Get quest > Hearth to Tarren mill > kill Greench > cloak teleport back to Org > Turn in quest = easy peasy!!!

And finally.. check this out! Friday I went into a key and saw Tyr looking like Santa! And the Counsel in Amirdrassil had hats on the too... Just like Xmas Rasz!!!!

Give me presents or you get the implosion of imps!

Dec Update and my greedy guilt

Fiiiiirst! My latest character progress. 
Excited about everything there. My trek to 30k achieve points I am most proud of. I think I say that mainly because most of it I've gotten solo. I get carried for my io and my il... but nonetheless, still happy about that.

500 mount achieve baby!!!
This one felt impossible at the beginning of the expac but new mounts  made it easier of course. The reward for that... this Spectral Ottuk mount. Flying otter mount.

Very neato. And no further mount achievements have populated so I guess they won't make a 600 yet. which is fine, cuz that's one achievement I will not push for a looong while.  600 is just crazy! Who in their right mind would get that!!? ME!, but not yet.

Anywhose... 2k io was done as well, thanks to my boys for letting me tag along. Same Armoredon as the previous seasons just lookin all branchy and shit.

Aaaand, I messed up the other night in raid. Along with being one of the worst in there, I also was extremely greedy. Honestly I don't know why. I mean, my eyes got huge when I saw the items drop and instantly all that went through my head was..

BIS BIS BIS!!! mine mine mine!!! gimmie gimmie gimmie!!! Seriously I got 3 things in there and put 2 of them on right away. I've won multiple things before, but I always sat on it and ended up whispering the person with the next highest roll and giving it to them. 

I should not have put them on and just sat for a bit until my conscience kicks in. I don't think im being to hard on myself. Don't be greedy, be an adult, and think about guildies is what we talk about constantly. And unfortunately, I did not. I only thought of myself and what I needed. Disappointment in myself, and shame and dare I say disgust is what I'm feeling right now. I'm sure other people feel some type of way too, but just are not coming out and telling me straight. They don't have to... I know... cuz I feel the same and trust me, I'm beating myself up for it. I just got done listening to how selfish other people were and here I am doing the exact same thing. Gonna be a drama queen for a bit here, it almost makes me not want to raid or be an officer. What a shitty thing to do as an officer especially. Embarrassment kept me from doing some stuff today in game. When I logged in, made conversation but kept to myself for the most part. Running keys for wyrms, collecting pets and getting achieves. Felt like old times.

Im gonna try to sleep for most of the day as it is 6:00 am and I have not gone to sleep yet. "Try" being the operative word here. It never really turns out that way cuz I'll feel like Im wasting the day away.

My Backpack!!!!

This one I started on 11/26 when I got my backpack.
I stopped pushing for this for the longest time, because I thought it was gonna take me longer. I needed so much corrupted mementos I just figured to just let it be and if I get it, then I get it... But when I actually did some calculations and realized it wasn't that bad, I figured to push...

I know I explained/cried about this process in a previous post, but I'll go over it again.
First, before I could buy my backpack, I had to unlock the whole tree. Activating all the 5 masks, killing everything and collecting all the chests I could find was the way to go. Finally!!! I get to buy my backpack!!!! Its so cool!!!!! I love it so much! All the detail. I love the hearthstone that peaks out of the side of it.

And a little gripe here, I've done this achievement, got the 5/5 but it didnt pop for me. I left it for a day or two figuring it just needs time to catch up, but it's still greyed out for me. I read on wowhead comments that its bugged. We have to find items and I dont know which item I'm missing that falsely registered. And of course a ticket into Blizzard fell on def ears and nothing came of it. I guess I gotta go do them all over again.... Poops

New Season...Yay?

Yes there is a question mark after that Yay...
But why Skully?
I don't really quite know. The motivation to play isn't really there. Yeah I'll log on everday I'll do my shit and then that's about it. I have no desire to really do anything. I find myself struggling to be entertained and my need to play solo has been creepin up again. I'm getting annoyed by little things that really should not be bothering me and as silly as it sounds, its bothers me that its bothering me. ugh vicious circle I tell you. I haven't been taking as much screenshots as I used to. I'm struggling to find good ones for my screenshot a day. Yeah I get them out every day (by pre posting them) but still I used to be able to pre-post them like 2 weeks ahead. and just swap out the dates as I get them on the daily. Feels bad. 
But no, I'm not saying I'll stop playing, just saying that I need to find my spark for this game again. Maybe raiding this weekend will get me back there, but then again, maybe distancing myself from guild stuff is what I need to do... I really don't know. I am an ear for some guildies and when they come to me with their issues, There's really not much I can do to help, or I try, but nothing gets done. Maybe this is what is making me not want to play. Yes I have alts and I play hidden, this is a really good option for me. But of course, I'm just talking outta my ass, I'd never abandon my main. She's my baby. I'll be fine, I just need to put my big girl panties on and get the fuck over it. Maybe I'm just so tired and RL is shitty right now It's just bleeding into everything.
Alright finding something to talk about...
Supposedly Demo is the better Lock spec to play. Don't make no difference to me. I'll still suck ass. I'm not the type of player to play a spec or class because it's supposed to be good. I hear so many times "ohhh I'm gonna play this now cuz they're getting buffed" and then a patch rolls around and then they're crying cuz they're getting nerfed. It's the same cycle, I don't know why people are so surprised and get all pissy. I've been playing Demo since the end of Cata. boring, I know... but I don't give a shit. I enjoy it so I stick with it. You figure tho for someone whos been playing this one spec this long I'd actually know what the fuck I'm doing... I mash buttons bruh.
But anyways... yay for Demo locks!
Random stuff:
- I need less then 1k achievements to get my 30k achievements... I'm gonna try too focus on that in the next week I think. 
- Blizzcon stream sucked, I would have rather paid a virtual ticket and get the option to watch all the halls, panels and competitions. 
- Expansion announcements was good tho. I'm excited for the next one, however its a damn year away, who knows if I'm gonna be playing this game in a year at the rate I'm feeling.
Alright I'm out of stuff in my brain. might be because it's 2am and im tired. I'll write more when I'm in a better mood. here's two cute screenshots just to lighten this drab mood I've created here.

Channeling my inner Shaman

playing with a baby Azure whelp

More stuff I remembered...

I remembered some stuff I forgot in the last post.
So this cute ass lava slug here comes from the seething cache down in Zaralek caverns. Now the chest is not just a go there and loot thing. Up by the Zaqali dudes in the elite area there are orbs that spawn in certain places. you need to click on 3 of them and that gives you a buff that lets you see the chest. I've tried to do this so many times and I always could never find any! A guildie told me how she got it, doing it in the wee hours of the morning. I knew this was a smart idea, but during the week I can't and the weekends I've never really pushed to stay up cuz my body usually says "nope! go to sleep". But I just said fuck it and I stayed up late and got it. I mainly did it cuz it was the last treasure I needed from the cavern for the achievement.

Last month's trading post also finally gave us a permanent broom mount. I knew during the Hallows end event there is the broom you can keep in your bag and that does have an instant mount up. At the time, I was so glad the new actual mount does let you mount up the same way. I was using the broom in the old world over Invincible.... HOWEVER! When Hallows End was done, the damn thing went back to being a regular mount cast. UGH! I was so sad.

More on the trading post! What in the actual fuck. this one annoyed me more then Tyrael's Charger. This damn Zhevra mount! Originally came from refer-a-friend way back. I had no friends back then so I actually got it myself. Sent a request to another of my email and made an account. Poof I get a mount. And this was another mount I was proud to have gotten and use it on occasion for my alts when they can't fly. Very few people who still play had this. Not anymore. How lame is that. ugh!

Anywhos, on a brighter note, Every race can be a warlock now. so you can bet your sweet butts I made a Lock on every race. Here's my Tauren lock.  I really don't like moggin' Taurens so I just kept her in the heritage armor. Taurens don't scream Warlock to me so my eagerness to mog it was pretty meh.  But I still love her anyways and I love that they let everyone be locks... We all know why... CUZ I LOVE WARLOCKS!!!!

ok I'm done for now... ok bye.

note:
I started to write this one a couple days after the last post, almost a month ago, so I had to go back and reword some stuff in the very past tense. sry if it sounds a bit weird.

Suuuuuper Late update

We'll crap... 3 months since the last update. RL stuff and I just got super lazy.
New job makes me so tired when I get home and if I'm not working on the weekends my mind just goes blank and I don't think of stuff to write about but I KNOW there is soooo much to write about.

First off...
Been trying for 30K achievements, IL went up a good amount and I haven't been pushing io, but I've been sitting at 2594 for a good while now, just 6 more for 2600 but I've been so lazy. Maybe next week, affixes are not that bad imo. My 2 trinks are the only pieces that are not 447. I've been trying to get my Mythic Irideus Fragment in the vault, but I havent been really pushing the keys. Y'all know I don't like the high(ish) keys. I like the rat keys! ;-P

My mount count is at 474. one of the latest ones my guild got was the Shadowflame Shalewing from the Glory of the Aberrus Raid achievement. I don't remember what other huge ones I got recently. I got a bunch, but nothing off my weekly/daily run list. I believe I got the Antoran Charhound a while ago and wrote about it on the last blog, I forget >_<

Guild stuff:
guild is growing, but we're still lacking raiders for next season. I do consider the guild a social/raiding guild, so I've been recruiting more the social people but that does put us at lacking actual quality raiders. But, the guys are posting recruiting on forums and raider io, etc. so I'll let them take care of that part.

Next pic is the Hallows End dragon skin which I got on the second or third day of the event. I was so excited, BUT when I went to go see it, It was NOT the one I was thinking about. Fuuuuck!!!! I got this mixed up with the Day of the Dead skin. disappointed, However! it looks like the day of the dead skin will be available from the vendor (like the pirate day one). That one is so pretty and I really want it. Which reminds me! FML! I didn't get the brewfest keg skin this year. I was so sad. I ran Coren Direbrew every damn day and still didnt get it. A couple guildies that got it, didn't even know that was something they could get. I at least got all the toys from the event but not all the mogs which is fine cuz all of them were meh. 
Some notable annoyances for me that happened. Um ok yeah, I know this wasn't meant in a bad way, but just the mere mention of someone telling me to switch to Destro or Affliction because it's better and I'd probably do more damage really it gets under my skin. The people that know me knows I won't ever switch... for a silly reason, yes, but it's MY reason nonetheless. Unless something changed and switching to the other specs will give me a felguard that I can skin mog into a Wrathguard, I will never switch, because of Dags. Don't tell me to switch!... I'm petty and stubborn I know this, and it is an extremely dumb reason, but I don't care! I play what I want, how I want.!!! Ok, I'm calm now.

A guildie (Shifty) helped me with WeakAuras. I always refused to use it, mainly because I didnt know how to. Things that will most likely help me seemed like a far fetched idea to try to learn how to use/adjust/import, etc. He explained the basic to me and I actually have 2 weakauras now. they are simple, and I just have to get used to it and actually understand what the fuck I'm looking at.

Probably the last thing I wanna talk about it something funny that happend last night while I was campin Houlon. My Horde alt and 3 other alliance were there. I'm not sure if it's the same as before where the first person (faction) that gets the tag gets to loot. I sat there waiting with my fingers on tab and my instant attack key. When I used to camp things I would always get the tag first, but it has been a while since I chose to fight anyone for a kill. The 3 of them all zoned in at the same time, I was there first. I ended up getting a /slap across the face from one of the alliance. WTF!?!?!? then it was followed by a spam of about 10 or 15 more slaps. Oh bitch, I'm soooo getting this tag. Houlon popped, I got aggro and it died, I looted, I noticed the others did not move in to loot and I got another /slap. I /lol'd at the person and threw bugs on him before I logged out. What a little bitch. However, I'm thinking all that hit it can loot, however I might have killed it too fast for them to even tag it which is why they didn't go in to loot. fuckin noobs.
Ok I'm done. I would say until next month, but like always, don't hold me to that ;-P

ok... ok bye!

Mid July update

First off, I ended the last post with saying I was gonna talk about some guild drama, however, I'm so glad I sat on it for a long while because I've decided not to post what I vented to myself about in a draft.
The gist: When you choose to join a guild, you are taking every chance of seeing and hearing things you might not agree with. This includes other people's personalities, things they say, things they post, etc. Is it fair to attack the guild with a message accusing the whole guild of something? For some it seems its easier to get the last word in and leave like a little soft crybaby bitch. A couple I really liked turned out to be those types of people. Wrote the message in guild chat, left and put everyone on ignore. Cowards to be honest, but I wasn't going to be spiteful. I did want to apologize that they felt the need to do that and to wish them well, and that's when I found out that I was put on ignore. People like that really should not join guilds. There is so many different people that play this game, if you don't like or agree with something, grow some balls and say something, if not, just leave. The message was a clear, they wanted to bury the guild. Jokes on them, the rest of us are fuckin adults and thought the guy was fricken dandelion that needed to go back to his field of flowers. 

The above was a very abbreviated version of my rant. Really, I will never support other people trying to intentionally offend or hurt someone else. If you're soft and sensitive, that's completely fine... it's the step he took after that infuriated me. Intentionally trying to bury a guild I hold dear was something you can do to get on my shit list real fast. I am one of the sweetest people you will ever meet... But piss me off, I'll admit I can be a real cunt. 

... and apparently, one that does not really stick to the term "abbreviated"... but anyways!!!!
Let's get into the actual update shall we...
Hit 440 IL yesterday!!! Woot! I really need to start farming 16+ keys for aspect crests... I need to upgrade my Hero and crafted gear. Decided to try for 2300 io. Got AOTC several weeks ago YAY!. Trying to work on hitting 27500 achievement points.

My brother Jason bought me Diablo IV... I'm not quite sure why as he plays with his friends and has not offered to level with me. I log on and he does play with his friends and so I'm left by myself, playing a game I have no interest in playing really... the huge upside to that was I got the Amalgam of rage mount in WoW haha. That's the picture above.

last week sometime I was in Valdrakken and I saw a beautiful fish mount. WTF IS THAT?!!??!!? looked up where it came from and it said the ingame store. Sweet, I'll pay 25 bones to get that thing!!!! But to my extremely nice surprise, I just had to accept the gift in the Bnet mailbox and it was MINE!!!!! It's the new 6 month subscription mount reward... fuckin awesome!!!!

Another reward I got was the twitch drop. OK, I've never redeemed one of these... I signed up for twitch before, with the intention of watching wow streams, but I watched a couple for a little bit, and I never really got into them. Maybe it was the people that I watched, and I just never really looked around for someone I would enjoy watching, but I gave up on it fast. But last week I just figured, fuck it, turn it on, put it on mute on my other monitor, get my 4 hours. I really should try to find one that I enjoy watching if I'ma try to get these more. I enjoyed the Team Liquid girl Adeen (I think that's how you spell her name) She wasn't interested in showing her cleavage for views, or wearing a trendy trucker hat, or fixing her hair every 10 seconds. She tanked the shit I was watching and I enjoyed that. And she gave us a fish fact when she got a sub... super fuckin adorable. I'd watch her again the next time a twitch drop rolls around. I'm not quite up to watching twitch just yet. the toy drop this time was a picnic basket with a little hibachi grill. 
So last thing for now... 
I reinstalled steam and started to play Valheim again. I missed that game! I just like building stuff. All my forts and all my tree houses.
Alright, thats about it for now.
ok... ok Bye!

Random stuff

OK so normally how my process goes is I upload screenshots before I write these, but I have yet to get any... 
I knew I wanted to update on stuff but wasn't sure what. It will come to me as I write this, then I'll get on and take them...
July/Aug traders post video is out and it brings a bunch of mounts. Aaaand of course one being Tyrael's Charger... kinda funny, cuz people drove themselves nuts trying to farm those Goblins only to come up empty. well now they can get it. If I didn't already have it, I'm not too sure how I'd feel about it. Like would I be pissed that I farmed the goblin spawns so hard and not get it, only to find out that a month or so later they're adding it to the trader's post? I really don't know how I'd feel about it, but I'm sure for most that really wanted it, they're happy. I'm still cranky can you tell... bah humbug!!!

Still not playing as much as before, just been super tired as of late, and my bed is my best friend right now. I wish I could say I've been sleeping a lot, but that's not the case. I've just been laying in bed, watching TV or playing Animal Crossing on the Switch. I go back to work 2 weeks and just trying to be as lazy as possible before I have to actually be a productive member of society I guess.
Ewww... Let's get out of RL shall we... that shit depresses me too much...

Alright! so I'm still doing a good job keeping up with the Screenshot-a-Day blog up. I know for a good while I was putting up more then just one a day, but like I said before, the motivation isn't as it was like before. And although I'm not literally getting a screenie a day ingame, I'm pre posting them and just having them set to post each day. It's junk when I do it this way because I used to go back and look at them and see when I did something in particular. When I remember to do it for those reasons, I'll go and specifically post them that day or the following day. I try to do those for mounts and pets mainly. The achievements I can go back ingame and see when I got it, but the mounts and pets, doesn't have dates... poops!

I'm gonna dabble into making another "WoW Adventures" story. Last week I was on Alexstrasza Deadskully and got a bunch of screenies of something that made me laugh then I thought I could make a cute story with. We'll see how that goes... maybe I'll try to work on that tomorrow. Ohh here, I'll add a pic... Even after the Soup event, I was stuck holding this meat. It still had the timer buff on it and I even mounted up and was still holding it. This was funny to me. So I just ran around with it taking screenshots. Perfect! Story time! Hopefully I still have my creative bug in me and my imagination hasn't gone to shit, like I think it has... 

I'm still raiding with the guild and still getting major headaches during and after. But I am trying to get as much time with the guild as possible before RL takes a hatchet to it. I'm not going to fully blame it on my headphones because I still get them even when I'm not playing. I'm sure I'm dying but I'm too stubborn to go to the doctors... If I die, then I die. Not a big deal... Aye shit, stop talking about RL please and thank you :-P

OK, I'll get screenshots for this entry tomorrow then post it...
ok... ok bye!
_________________________________________
above written 6/29/23

I completely forgot to come back to post this. Forget everything I said about not playing so much LOL...
the past couple days, I've been playing all day. If not on my main, then I'm on my alt. 
I didn't go to write the wow story. But I did want to touch on some WoW drama that came up and I didn't wanna bypass this post first.

Midsummer stuff!!!

Midsummer Fire Festival is here!!!
I am missing pretty much all the toys from this event. It's already a week into the event and I have enough to only buy 2 things. I'm only taking Alexstrasza Deadskully around to do these. I was gonna take her and main Deadskully to do them but I really haven't been logging on as much the past week. But I have another week to fly around to all the bonfires and collect the blossoms for my toys. I really want the Hearthstone and the Set of matches. The set of matches looks funny... you just set yourself on fire and start running. 

I read some comments that if you're stuck somewhere, instead of using a hearth, just use the matches and it will run you out of where ever you're stuck, that is helpful. Oh yeah and the other thing I want is the flaming ring. It shoots a big firework up into the air. So as much as I know if I grind, I can get more, I think I'll just shoot for those 3 things.

I'll need 1300 blossoms, I'm more then half way there. Maybe I'll have another toon get the 300 one. We'll see. Anyways, but yeah I like the description of the matches...
"Set yourself on fire! For reasons!" that was funny.

This is also a good time to level your alts...
just reading this, I thought it would give you increased experience when you do ANYTHING that gives you exp... however when you hover over the buff it says you get it when you kill stuff. What the frick! hmmm ok I guess I'm not getting extra from farming. And y'all know I DON'T read game notes/ blueposts/patch notes... so I really have no idea what this shit does LOL.

Alrightee, and finally! 
I went around to make sure this World event stayed FULLY completed. I think they should have put more bonfires around the isle for is to honor and extinguish, but that's just me.

Ok... ok bye!

Poking around on the alliance

mkay, sooo... I might be playing on my alliance server more, and I miiight be making more toons. Now hang on, it wasn't another warlock! In fact, I actually deleted a warlock and made a hunter with the same name. The next patch is gonna bring warlocks to every race!... I'm so screwed, and it will also unlock all the allied races! I'm super excited for that considering I did not unlock the Kul Tiran and the Mechagnomes the normal way. I wrote a whole crybaby rant about the Kul Tiran race unlocking failed attempt.. bleh! 
but here's a link to that rant.

Ally Boost done and I'm annoyed!

But anyways! So yeah, I decided to make a hunter because for some reason my alliance server does not have one. I took her to 10, got on my yak for the transmog dude and I realized how much mog for mail I DO NOT have! Geez it was slim ass pickin!, I need to really go mog farming on my other hunter. I think I might do that this week. Take my Hyjal non cloth wearing toons in old dungeons and raids. I'm not gonna bother with looking for what I want, I'm just gonna go in there and just be surprised!...
This is gonna sound so sad, but I'm actually very excited to go do that... ahh such a sad old lady.
whatever!... ok... ok bye!

Druid farming

Ahh the peacefulness of farming... 

listening to music, enjoying old world content that hasn't been visited since who knows how long, so much sparklyness, so much gold I'm going to make from these mats... Ding!

... Wtf! how did I level already?!?!?
... 3K EXP!?!?
... from mining one node?!?!
Let's rewind...
Why are you farming for old stuff and not in Dragonland farming the new stuff? Gold baby!! This is where the gold is at... Its been like this for a good while now and I have talking about this before, but I hate the fact that my guild bank has dipped below 1Mil and I havent been doing anything to bring it back up.
Someone told me a while back, that I should only be concerned with gold if I actually raided or ran dungeons. And yeah obviously they were right. I'm not playing my alts for a while now, and I'm raiding and running keys with the guild. Babyskully is my Gold Mule... she takes gold from the GB to the mailbox then to Deadskully's inbox.  And that's where the other professions come in... mining and herbing back in the day were the only ones that made you gold. I'm almost at my 1 mil mark and I'll shoot for 1.5 mil next.
Anyways so yeah! getting back to the 3K EXP!!!

Cripes! I stopped writing this for 3 days and I forgot what else I wanted to add... geez....
oh yeah ok, So when I was farming I was getting really nice exp. But I had to be rested and I only could farm in the expansion that I chose the Chromie Campaign. Rich nodes gave me a little more exp. It was great! and I levelled so quick. I was able to take one of my druids from 53 to 58 just from farming for a short time (I should have timed it). 

Ugh! I'm so tired and I'm actually over this one!
I need to really try and finish them as I think of them, cuz notes and screenshots help me remember, but I lose the mood in which these topics pop into my head. cuuuuz, there's several things I wanna write about more but when I start them and I get screenshots uploaded, I really don't wanna waste an entry. 
BUT!!! I'm not getting bored I swear! it's just my adhd I think... yeah, we'll blame it on that!
ok... ok bye!

No Hyjal day

Ok not a complete "No Hyjal day", I did log on and check auctions and I remembered I hadn't done my Antorus runs for my dog mount so I went ahead and knocked those three runs out. I still wanted to play but just wasn't feeling my main. There's a bunch of stuff I wanna do on her too, like old achievements and world pet battles but I just have no motivation to. Before I logged I changed her mog to something that is a bit more suiting my mood at the moment. I didn't want colorful and I wanted skulls and bones. The picture on the right is perfect! I'm sure I'll get out of this mood soon and change it back to the pink but this one will do for now. I spent the rest of the day on Alexstrasza getting that Deadskully to 70. I took her from 60 to 70. Thank goodness for Timewalking dungeons! because it made leveling go by so much faster... Oh Snap! I forgot to turn in my quest for the 500 Badges on Hyjal Deadskully... welp! looks like im loggin back on to Hyjal after this.
But anyways... so yeah I just wished Alexstrasza wasn't such a dead server... I saw no more then 5 times someone typing in chat. And one of the comments was about how dead and forgotten the server was. lols. I only say I wish it was poppin a bit more cuz I'm cleaning out the guild bank and trying to sell old mats... it ain't looking so good. I mean on the plus side, it's quiet. And speaking of auctions, I'm doing the same with my Hyjal guild bank and I'm slowly getting my gold back to where it was. I went farming with my druids last week. I miss just flying around doing that shit, but I think I'll save that topic for my next entry, maybe I'll make it tomorrow...
I'm tired, ok... ok bye!
 

Is it starting?

 ...and by "It" I mean my diminishing love of this game.

Ok, maybe diminishing is too strong of a word to describe my current feelings at the moment. For the past week, I have not had the desire to play. Maybe it's because everyone I normally played with are not really playing anymore. Makes me sad because that was never my issue. I never had a problem playing by myself. I actually enjoyed it very much. You didn't have to worry about anyone else holding you up. You didn't have to worry about typing in chat. And I am someone who is aware of other people and when they ask a question in guild chat and no one responds, I know it's dumb, but I feel bad. What's point of being in a guild if no one is gonna respond and there's a bunch of people on. So I've been mainly keeping quiet and not really engaging until asked something specific... what's the point.
But who am I to talk about how people socialize ingame right?
I'm famous for playing hidden and not engaging with people on my friends list. I play how I like, and I know people are just giving me shit but it does make me feel some type of way when I get asked more times then anything "another lock?" I know I shouldn't let it bother me, but it does. You get the ones that say "it's your money, play how you want" So I do. I play hidden so people don't make comments on how much of a loser I am that I only like to play locks.  Alright so they might not even think that way about my choice, but that's how it makes me feel, and it makes me not want to talk to anyone no matter if they are the ones who made comments or not. I always say, I'm a creature of habit, almost to a detriment. Because yes, I'm not branching out and trying to learn to play something different and who knows maybe I'd be a good tank, or healer... yeah I laughed too right there... but anyways, then that goes back to where I say I pay to play what I like, don't give a shit what other people tell you.
When I think about it, It wasn't until I started to regularly play with people that I actually gave a shit about this crap. I'm like, shit just get over it, it's not that serious... and yeah it ain't but I think that's what makes me... well me. I give a shit where I shouldn't. I think about other people, when really I should only be caring about myself and how I feel.
OK then. I'll get better at not caring, and not letting minor ass things get to me. I'm not saying I'm gonna be a bitch, just not gonna have a conniption fit the next time someone says something to me that would have otherwise send me into emo mode. Although I say all of this, I have a really bad feeling that it won't last very long. I would haaate to go back and re-read something only to find that I tried the same thing, but apparently failed miserably. Ah well... that's just me I guess.
But aside from all that socializing crybaby shit, I am finding it hard to stay online for hours at time like I normally can. I usually have a bunch of screenshots lined up for the screen-shot-a-day (yes they usually are not taken THAT day) but I have very little to post. I usually was getting only the ones in raid. Which brings me to my other dilemma. I've been logging off after I start to feel a major headache coming on. It might be the fact that I've been staring at a computer screen every damn day for the past 4 months. General Ed zoom classes, essays, research and powerpoint presentations, and then playing wow, It must me doing something really shitty to my eyesight and brain. Anywhos, the dilemma being that Saturday I logged on for raid, but I quickly wasn't feeling good, I went to lay down instead of going with the guild. Maybe it is a sign that I should slow down on my playing.
We shall see... ok, ok bye!

Special items... not so special anymore.

Well let me start off by saying I'm gonna be a huge hypocrite here.
I only say that because although I am salty about Blizz bringing a few items that was once thought of as no longer obtainable, I will not pass up the opportunity to snag them up. This month take for instance Tyrael's charger. Mind you, I had got this back in the day. I believe it was from purchasing a 6-month sub when Diablo 3 came out. I was extremely proud to have this mount! It was super pretty and I did have it as my main mount on several alts even after I got Invincible. However my love for this mount diminished really quick when I heard that they were giving players a chance to get this mount once again. Super Salty Skully came out and I was so annoyed. Great! now everyone is gonna be running around with this mount I held so dear! 

Hold on a friggen minute Skully!!! How can you be so selfish! Yeah yeah I know... hush.
SO! as I thought about it, If there was a mount I didn't have, I would jump at the chance to get it. So really I did calm the hell down. Turns out too, the drop rate wasn't all that great. A couple guildies that were farming for it, did not get it. And I'm not just saying it, but I did feel bad. I think the drop rate was something like 15% for the first run of the day per BNet account, then 0.5% the rest of the runs. Sucks... Well it's the same thing like the Pandaland world boss farming, which I still need Sha, Oondasta and Houlon to drop their mounts. I only managed to get Galleon and Nalak to gimmie theirs.

I should get on the Twitch as they have been giving items on there. In this case, the TCG Feldrake was being given away late last year. Ohhh and see, I didn't jump at that opportunity! There is one its I would really really LOVE to get my hands on... I honestly don't even know why I don't have it. It came from Blizzcon 2019! You could have even got it during the virtual ticket purchase! Aww FML! I know why I don't have it. That was around the time I stopped playing when I was living with my ex. I just remembered, fuckin' shit! I had made Elo wear it and tank for me all the time with it on. Nothing makes me laugh more then seeing a tank in yeti PJs. Wendigo Woolies is what they are called. ugh! I want it... I wish they would bring THAT item back. The yeti pics are Elo's Hyjal warrior on the left and some random vulpera on the right. its so cute!

Now with the trading post bringing items back every so often that's also kind crap too. Cindermane Charger. Yes it was a mount I never got prior, as it was only obtainable through the refer-a-friend promotion/achievement and since we all know I don't have friends HA!... I did not get this one... Until this month's trading post purchase. I passed up the cute ass bee pet for that thing ugh!. BUT I also passed up the opportunity to put it in the freeze slot, I thing I put something else in there, I can't remember what it was tho. 

Alrightee, I'm tired and I'm sure I missed a bunch of stuff I wanted to talk about but I have a headache and if I remember the stuff I wanted to add, I'll do it tomorrow.

June Update

Cripes, I missed last month...
So much happened but not really having the motivation to write about it. 
Been studying so much the past several weeks and not really been playing as much. I'm home. I'm sitting at my desk studying right next to my computer. But I have no motivation to log on and play lately. Hopefully it's because I'm smart and WoW isn't my life... JUST KIDDING!! IT IS!!!
But in all seriousness, I'm really proud of myself that I've been trying my hardest to study and not log on.

 

Alrightee getting to it now! Hit 2K M+ rating!

Got my season 2 Inferno Armoredon. The boys saw I was close and took me along with them. I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna push higher. Is there really any reason? We can upgrade our heroic gear 5/5 so yeah there's no reason. Aside from portals, which really, I'm not lazy, I don't need it.

And like always, I'm still struggling with damage in raids. I do good single target M+ boss damage but I fail hard like a noob loser in raids. It's not my gear, I have amazing gear. It's not my build, I've been utilizing site that have top player builds. It's my rotation, it's me not understanding how to play a warlock apparently. I think every time I sit down to write, this is always the issue. It just really depresses me cuz I know I'm a good lock, I know what I can do, I've crushed shit in the past. What's the difference?... I think I know, I was never focused on taking someone else's build, looking at someone else's talents... I did what I wanted, what I was comfortable with. Maybe I should go back to that, stop crying and just get better. 

But really, I love my guild. They don't care if I'm shit, they still take me along. They don't care if my damage is below the tanks, they still take me along. Even if they think it... they never come out and say I suck. Maybe I they should. But really, no one is harder on this then myself. 
Anyways lets move onto something lighter shall we...

Last entry I put a pic of a new mog, I wasn't really hip to back then. Buuut.. I've been rolling around with it for about a good month and I LOVE it! It's pink, it's cute, and aside from my frostscythe, it's looks super casual. It looks comfortable. I wish there was a pink or black bandana mask for me to mog. And before you say "but Skully yes there is a black mask". I will tell you, no there isn't. NOT a cloth one. There's a leather one.
Sadness...
My favorite... A fish head. 

It's always brings a smile to my face. I think it's super funny and I'm super sad that I didn't even go down to the Darkmoon Faire this month to catch me more fish heads. I'll blame it on studying. I was even reminded of it from a guildie a couple days ago. And I remembered about it this morning... fail whale.

Next are pics are of my new parrot mounts.
The first is this month's Trader's post completion mount.
The next is Sharkbait he comes from Freehold dungeon.
The last is still one I need to go farm. You can get it out of the chests you need to purchase with dubloons from BfA Island Expeditions. 
I never really knew I needed them, but looking at the details. 
Peg leg, eyepatch, and the seatback has a pirate skull on it... awesome!

And my last pic here kinda makes me sad. I think it was probably my last time running with this guy... 
This sawtooth ate him.
