Lately, most of my time in WoW has actually been spent on my mage alt. Over the weekend I managed to get him from level 19 to 26, and raised jewelcrafting to 217 and enchanting to 136 (enchanting’s a bit of a pain to raise). It’s strange because he’s simultaneously more boring than my warrior (just cast Frostbolt over and over and over…), but more interesting because I can’t approach situations the same way by just barging in like I would with the warrior.

I didn’t neglect my warrior entirely though, managing to complete the zone quest achievement in Zangarmarsh, collect a few more aspirant tokens at the Argent Tournament, and finally got around to socketing some of my equipment. With the boost of a few gems, I finally have a defense rating of 536 on him, which is good enough to avoid crits in non-heroic dungeons (I need 540 for heroics).
