Damn it. I Always thought I was closer to Shadowmourne on my DK but apparently it was my Pally got that farther. My pally is only 87 :( I tried soloing ICC on my DK but he's way too undergeared. Been clearing MC for those bindings though lol.

On another note, I've been working towards my legendary staff from Firelands on my Druid. At this rate I might be able to get it in a month or two lmao. Pretty much have a full heroic xmog set from Firelands too which is nice. Still missing my Stormrage pants from Rag though (last piece). Might start working on Dreamwalker next.

Been rotating Ony, Malygos, Tempest Keep, Sethekk Halls, and Utgarde Pinacle for the mounts on all my toons but no drops :(

Got all those wrath ones during the expansion. Resumed ony farming shortly after MoP release and got in after a couple of tries. Tempest has been screwing me and have been doing the halls at most once a week, but only over the last month.

Going to need to try and form a group for the last 2 wrath achievements to finish the red proto.

Yeah I actually never attempted to farm any of them except for Malygos before. I got the blue drake from Maly but I need the Azure. I need to remember to change my raid setting to 10. Was fighting Maly last night and was confused to why he was hitting so hard. Took me way longer to kill lol.

Red Proto is the only meta that I actually completed during the correct expansion lol. It seems like in Cata and MoP no one really put any effort to them.

Catching up with my legendary cloak quest. I was being lazy for so long because of the 3000 valor thing. I didn't realize I was only 150 valor away D:

Finished that part and I am on the secrets collecting quest. I got 10 of them just doing LFR last night. Probably could have gotten 3-4 more if the server wasn't going down. It was a huge grind though trying to get them in before reset. At least this week I can spread out my runs over the days. At this rate I think I can finish within 2-3 weeks.

I waited a long time for mine, had gotten to the 6000 valor point just after grinding all my reps to exalted and had no desire for quite some time to grind more valor.

Biggest pain now is remembering to take it off when you are doing something that requires you to not kill/damage adds.

Logged into beta a bit last night. At the main menus/char creation/char import the system was eeexxxttrreeemmmmlllyyyy laggy. Once in it rain fine but was rather odd playing in default mode for first time in so long. Did stoip by the dalaran vendors, most have JP items for gold. The vendor that sold the reputation gain items was different though, those items were MIA and her other items still had a JP cost to them.

PTR/Beta should be for looking around a testing, not really playing per say. However lots of guilds use it for getting ahead, learning bosses sooner. Those guilds rushing through the instance in one night aren't doing it just because they are geared and skilled. They have basic knowledge of strats, boss abilities, room size, etc.

On both. As I said, most of the vendors did sell all items for gold. I was specifically referring to the vendor that sold the wrath faction reputation items.

For a change there were actually quite a few log into guild last night, the hate was strong.

I gotta try that Oqueue. No one wants to invite me in trade without me gearing out in LFR and then Flex and then I can maybe do normal (retarded).

Anyways, finally on the runestones part of the legendary quest. Maybe 2 more weeks before I can get the cloak yay lol.

oQ usually lists min iLVL required, you will most likely still have to gear up through those other resources first :/

I'm still doing LFR very sporadic, only done the first 2 parts of ToT on my hunter once and once on my warlock, haven't adventured more since i like to do other stuff too

Sigh. Its stupid because people are like "LFM Flex Wing 1/2 540+". I did Flex 1/2 when SoO came out a year ago with 500 gear and cleared it. However, I quit the game so I never got decked out.

Im right about 520 ish right now. I guess when I get the cloak it will jump up in about 2 weeks :\

That has always been my most hated gripe with this game. High gear level does not equal better players. But I guess kids seeing higher ilevels make them feel better about someone for some reason.

Yeah, this is a chronic problem with oQ. Groups want you to have the ilvl of the gear that drops... People doing it in trade are the same people running oQ groups for the most part, so you'll see the same damn thing.

Some of it is people don't want to carry, and make sure you know the fights. The other part is, why fill the group with X ilvl when you can do it with X+10? Of course some people just want to GET carried.

I saw one flex group wanting people to have normal ilvl. Check the raid leader's ilvl and see if they pass their own test, often they don't.

there are tons of flex 1/2 groups that have alike a 515 or 520 requirement, or at least there were when I first started using it, like 10 months ago

you should be at about that point simply from doing TOT LFR to get the legendary quest line going and with the use of some crafted/rep/valor items
