Holy Crap!? Did that just happen?

I had an incredible stretch of good fortune in Warcraft this past weekend, and I thought I'd brag share it with you all.

I saved up enough coming into the expansion that I had my major expenses out of the way.  I had already bought my master flying the first day it was available (screw you, Blizz, for lowering the cost by a grand a week after I bought it).  And I still had a good chunk of cash going into the expansion.  I'm now only one zone away and only about 40 quests away from having loremaster of cataclysm done, and that was a good chunk of money I'd saved from vendoring quest rewards.

I've also gotten my JC up high enough to start selling a cut blue gem on the AH and made some nice cash before quite a few others people now have the +60 stam gem.

Titansteel is also ridiculously cheep right now.  I snagged 12 bars and two arctic furs for about 500 gold, and then went farming for 80 bars of cobalt.  And I went back to questing for a while until I had over 12500 gold, and contacted a guild engineer and HAD MY VERY OWN CHOPPER MADE!

Yeah, yeah ground mounts are mostly useless now - but shut up!  Yer just jealous. 

So I go back to questing to remake some money to pay for repairs and the like when lo-and-behold I looted an 85 BOE epic.  My jaw dropped - and sunk even lower when I saw the going rate for BOE epics on the AH. 

I netted myself a cool 18,500 gold and promptly bought a travelers tundra mammoth too!

Huzzah!

And after questing a bit more, I'm back up to roughly 3500 gold again!

And I hit a nice milestone too - Cataclysmically Superior!

What an awesome weekend.  I'm still in disbelief.

    Hey, they haven't allowed flying in BGs yet. If you want to strut your stuff, that's where you go. (Besides, even a Hawkstrider is better than an Elekk.)

    Congrats on the rest of the stuff --looks like you earned a good rest!

  2. That is some nice stuff right there! And it's ok to brag... I think it's nice to read stories of good things happening in game! Plus, it might inspire someone who has always wanted a chopper to go ahead and splurge on one.

    Even though you can fly pretty much everywhere outside of BGs, I do still like to hope on my chopper on occasion. Flying can sometimes be a pain, and hopping on my bike ends up being quicker..... plus I am a jumper. :P

  3. Of course, there are a few locations in the game world where you can't fly, which I'm going to hit on in an upcoming post. Methinks Blizz needs to fix those obvious holes.
