Watch out Northern Alabama
I’m here.
I’ve had a few days to settle in. Get used to the commute to and from work (1/5 the distance of my old commute in Florida). Check out the local mall. Sample the local cuisine. Etc.
I’ve been back and forth to Florida so much over the past couple of weeks that I’ve only officially spent like four whole days here in Alabama. It’s hard to make the judgement call this early so I won’t. I’m just here for now taking it all in. We shall see.
Recruit-A-Friend Team 1 (Horrible/Strange) has completed their run to 60. I ran to Outland immediately upon hitting 58 in Eastern Plaguelands. Well, honestly I was about 40-50% into level 58 from extra quests I had completed. Anyway. It only took 6 quests in Outland to get the team to 60 from that point. Crazy. This also means that my lowbie Warlock, Overtime is now level 60 as well. And since he was already 33 before I granted him any levels, and you can grant a total of 29 levels, that leaves 2 extra levels to grant to someone else.
What’s that you say? What am I planning next?
How about Rogue/Priest?
Yep. Recruit-A-Friend Team 2 consists of Rapid the Undead Rogue, and Important the Undead Priest. And when they have reached level 60 I’ll take a short break to level my Blood Elf Mage, Asplode to 29. Then grant him the 2 spare levels from my Shaman and the other 29 from my new Priest.
At this point I’ll have 2 level 60s that I barely know how to play, 2 that I only vaguely understand and 2 more that I should know fairly well.
The 2 that get the free levels to 60 (Warlock/Mage) will be a mystery to me when I start playing them again. I’ll take them to a trainer and spend 100g or so training all of those new spells, then try and figure out the most logical place for them on my hotbars. Then I have to scrape together some gear for them (I already vendored off all of the warlocks level 30 gear and haven’t even begun to start shopping for level 60 gear to put on him).
The Shaman and Priest (the two secondary ‘healbot’ type characters who follow the Hunter and Rogue respectively) I will only have a moderate understanding of. I will have played them to some extent all the way from 1 to 60 so I won’t be as lost as with the Warlock and Mage. However, with triple experience you only get 1/3 of the practice time with a character to begin with. Add on top of that the fact that they are on auto-follow the whole time with some macros to help out their travelling companions with healing and a tiny extra bit of damage, and you can see why I won’t really know how to play them.
The Hunter and the Rogue I should be able to more or less play like a typical newb who just hit 60. I’ll be a bit behind the curve with the whole ‘1/3 of the usual played time’ thing, but I think I can manage.
And when that is all said and done. If there is enough time left on the 90 day Recruit-A-Friend period. I may. JUST may. level a Warrior/Paladin combo.
But that is REALLY pushing it. I mean, I do need to eat/sleep/socialize/go outside once in a while. Plus I have that whole day job that pays for my two WoW accounts and internet connection and such.
