Isayni Dings 90

Leveling to 90 on the DK was really much easier than I remember on the Hunter, Monk, Priest or Mage. I leveled her while in Blood spec the entire time. I know this probably wasn't the best way to quickly kill all the things that needed to die, but I liked how it kept me alive :)

Isayni didn't complete a single zone anywhere. I sometimes miss having to work my way through entire zones and I know there is quite a bit out there that I still haven't seen. One of these days I should start a toon and do every quest in every zone she is sent to, no matter what level she is when she gets there.

Anyway.. Here is Isayni as she looked in Dread Wastes when she dinged:

These are all quest rewards from the zone except for the mace, Torch of the Damned from Black Temple.

Now that she's 90, instead of the usual dungeons and stuff, I have to take her to Barrens.

The Barrens world event will end 8/27/13. The entire set she could get there would be great, but I don't have the time needed to get it. I'm not worried, it's the same look as items she can still get when Barrens ends - EXCEPT for the boots.

The set from the Barrens is called Insubordination. It's the same as the Saronite War Battleplate (recolor) set except that Blizzard never gave us matching boots for the Saronite set. So when Barrens goes away, so will my only chance at the boots for one of the few sets I really like on my DK.

Another reason she needs to go to barrens is to farm 500 Lumber for Griftah's Authentic Troll Shoes. If you are either a Warrior or Death Knight Draenei, you need these shoes. I may have mentioned it before, I can't remember, but I'm gonna say it again - as a Draenei plate-wearer, you have only 5 boots that are "invisible". Two of those boots are Paladin only. One comes from Ruby Sanctum which is a place I've just kind of written off as "never gonna happen". The other two are from ICC, but in the once-a-month way our guild goes there, I'm not the only plate wearer. Farming 500 Lumber sounds easier/quicker than hoping for an ICC run, hoping that one of the boots drop, and then hoping that I win them. RNG = really never getting.

To top off the joy of Barrens farming, I need to do PvP stuffz. I dislike PvP. GREATLY. But as the Barrens World Event ends, so does PvP Season 13. This means that I won't be able to get the ONE HELM that I want on my DK, The Malevolent Gladiator's Dreadplate Helm. This spiffy helm will cost 2250 Honor Points of which I currently have zero. Can I get 2250 HP before 8/27 when I really don't play every day?

Current Wish / Instance Loot List

I have my list in three groups; "soloable", "haven't tried to solo", and "need raid".

For the sake of my sanity, I have put aside the "need raid" list. Yes, I want Mimiron's Head and Flight Goggles, but it just won't happen.


Consider them forgotten.

This is just a cut-and-paste of my actual wish list. The places in bold are what I'd like most right now for transmog. Pets are always a bonus, but I play World of Dressupcraft, not Pokewow ;)

For Python!

I'd like to think that I come up with creative names. The truth is, is that when I think up names I like, I tend to use them over and over.. which keeps me from thinking up new creative names. I noticed this when reviewing all of the toons that I've ever created in WoW (and in other games). Thankfully, we have a 50 character limit (I think) per account, so I can't put a Barlafumble on every server (which.. I wish I could.. cuz it's MY name dangit!).

Isayni has always been a favorite name of mine because I think it's pretty creative (pats self on back). Monty Python was a huge influence as I grew up (which explains A LOT). I-Say-Ni as in the Knights who say Ni. And she's a Death Knight. Get it?!

 

I envision my DK as always being in something dark. There will be no shiny gold on this chick. EVER. Starre gave me this really nice-looking breastplate and I will be working on a mog around it. Isayni is still questing and leveling and doesn't have a lot of gear yet, but she's keeping her eyes open!

Shoulder: Blood-Soaked Saronite Plated Spaulders

Chest: Hydralick Armor

Hands: Acherus Knight's Gauntlets

Wrist: not shown

Waist: Acherus Knight's Girdle

Legs: Legguards of Stratholme

(view at Wowhead in 3D)

WTB invisible plate boots.

Yay! for invisible plate belt!

Northrend Spellweave Regalia

I've spent a few days working on a mog for Neq and when I finally finished.. I didn't like it. So she's back in what I think is my favorite cloth set (minus the gloves - not a fan of the bulky glove look).

Shoulders: Charlotte's Chastizing Pauldrons

Chest: Robes of Hoarse Breaths

Waist: Elegant Temple Garden's Girdle

Weapon: Mallet of Zul'Farrak

The gloves, bracers and offhand.. meh. I'll work on it. The Mallet isn't a perfect match but it's the Mallet of Zul'Farrak! I worked really hard for that Mallet! I had to fight my way to the top of a huge temple and then fight some more for just a piece of it. Then I had to fight my way through an entire troll city to make the Mallet. AND THEN I had to go to an entirely different continent, fight my way though another troll city and use it to summon giant three-headed lizard. Which I had to kill... for a 3% mount speed increase. 3%!

Totally worth it.
