The Return of MMO Night

The second MMO Night is upon me and I've been looking forward to getting some time online for the whole week, my attempt to get online Sunday was an epic fail followed by Monday's disaster as well thanks to work. So back to the matter on hand and that's to game my night away, well actually first I'm going to read my post from last week since I'm sure I wanted to do something important this week and I've completely forgot.

Ah ha! I was going to work on factions this week in World of Warcraft to get some cool enchants to boost my stats and clean up old quests on Star Wars with maybe some PVP for the first time as well. Will I do this stuff? who knows I rather just jump in and enjoy the game but it is nice to have something to work towards now and again. Actually I just remembered I cannot jump into the game straight away, need to activate my time cards first so small draw back. Could do with a drink too, ok so MMO night will start in ten-twenty minutes.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok lets try this again, time cards are now inputted and I've got a nice glass of orange on hand so let the gaming begin!

I forgot to mention that yesterday morning the server was dead so I spent about an hour doing the Easter event getting all 500 chocolate eggs so I was able to get the new mount. Not exactly the best looking mount but at least it counts towards the mount achievement which unlocks a very cool Blue Dragonhawk mount. Anyway just looked into my standing with the factions I need for the enchants, I'm maxed out with Hyjal so thats the head enchant sorted but the rest still need work on. In fact the one I'm starting Neutral with them since I've done no quests with them yet, guessing they based in the Twilight Highlands since I've never been to that zone yet.

Going to start with the faction Therazane since my stance with them is Honored and very close to levelling up, they given an awesome shoulder enchant so I've been told. Wow just flicking through the achievements and found out there are daily cooking quests for all the major cities, I thought only Stormwind (major alliance capital) was the only one. For those who don't know me well I really love the profession side to MMO's, the daily quests are usually unique quests to help raise your level and usually pretty fun to do. Plus an achievement on top for added measure is always good in my books, guess I will need to take a detour to these major cities before I pop to see the Therazane.

Wonder what else I'm missing out, ohhh new fishing quests too as well in the cities, ok at this rate I'm not going to get anything done. So my plan is to do today's quests in each of the cities then go to the factions, won't be going into too much detail though so don't worry.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Just did my first cooking quest at Darnassus (gathering jars, was ok nothing special) and the reward maxed out my cooking profession level so now I'm a Illustrious Grand Master Cook and got an achievement for the trouble. Then the fishing quest was pretty fun which involved me having to catch baby Octopus in the shallow water at the base of the city. Each city as five unique quests for cooking and fishing, of course they do repeat so it will take at least five days to get the achievements if I'm lucky. Not sure if I will keep coming back each day or just try my luck each MMO night and hope for the best.

Ok I thought I was losing it since just arrived at Ironforge the Dwarf capital yet no daily quests to be found so I've just looked into it and I can only do one cooking and one fishing quest a day. So I've done my allocation for the day at Darnassus so this is going to take a lot longer then I thought, on top of that while I was there I checked out the Druid trainer to find I got a ton of skills to learn. Now I really am behind in Warcraft to say I didn't learn all my skills.

Going to get on with my questing now and starting get that faction reputation built up, anyway going to stop writing less now and actually play

Therazane The Stone Mother

Just finished with Therazane for today and it was great, levelled my reputation up to Revered so one more level and I'm maxed out with them. I was also able to upgrade one of my rings so that's boosted my stats more and I have noticed I'm doing a lot more damage now in fights thanks to the new gear. Also during one of the daily quests I was able to dodge all the mushroom attacks from the boss which unlocked a Quest Achievement, so overall a good nights work but need to call it for now
or I won't have time for Star Wars.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Last week I ended the game after doing the flash point Black Talon but I never did set up my new gear that I picked up so I've just tried on the gear. Looks a bit like a Stormtrooper to be honest but very cool none the less, check out the screen shot to the right.

Just sent my companion out on a mission to gather some Underworld materials (one of my professions), while shes off I'm going to do a space mission then head over to Hutta to clear up my old quests that I missed.

---------------------------------

Ending it for the night, I did clear up two quests after making my way to Hutta but I've got the man flu so my head is killing me. So going to hit the sack and try again next week. Hopefully next week I can give both games more time especially Star Wars.
