I’m up to level 66 in WoW now, equalling what my priest had reached before. I’m still slightly behind him though, as I’ve finished off Zangarmarsh and a big chunk of Terrokar Forest, but haven’t started on Nagrand yet. But soon…

Looking back, it’s amazing how much you progress in the BC areas. Even though it’s only been six levels, I’ve gone from around 4000 hp to over 7600 now, almost all of it due to equipment. I’m sure my DPS is a lot higher, too. I’ve also been getting useful weapons often enough that I’ve been switching between the different types a lot. Right now I’m using a sword, but for quite a while a dagger was the best DPS and rage generation I had.

And I took yet another diversion back to the old lands to work on some newbie quests in the Orc area, just to gain some more faction and completed quests. That was enough to bump me into Exalted in Orgrimmar, and I quickly replaced my dumb kodo mount with a nifty new timber wolf.

I’m going to have to start practicing playing in defensive stance and going for threat generation rather than DPS though, in preparation for working in groups. I’ve been doing far too much soloing to get here, and I don’t want to be completely unprepared when I do start doing instances in earnest.

But for now, I’m off to…fish.
