Vanquisher Veluxia

It took a long time. I was beginning to wonder if we had been eligible at all for the titles from the Arena Tournament. Navimie posted today that she still hadn't received hers and wondered if she were eligible also, so I went to have a look at the Arena Pass forum. The first post I looked at had a reply from Buckybadger saying he had received his title today. A quick check of his armory showed he had! I logged in to submit a ticket. 1 day 17 hours, was the wait time. 'Ug, it's ok, I'm sure I will have it some time tomorrow'. I went to run some errands, when I got home I logged on and a few minutes later I got the Feat of Strength! 'WHAT?! LOL!' Then a GM wanted to talk to me about it. Well, I don't need a GM now but YAY! :D

Finally!

I played a Priest on the tourny realm so it seems fitting that I screenshot my Priest on live with the title, even if she isn't getting much love this expansion.

It was a long wait for the pets too, I can't remember if I posted about him, I certainly haven't leveled him yet... Realllllllllly should get to that.

If you think you were eligible, submit a ticket and get your title!

The tourny was a lot of fun and if the rewards ever change I would love to do it again! Thank you so much to my team mates - Arvash, Sparklebeard, Zeirah, and Disconcur and to our regular opponents and friends, Navimie, Shab and Sev for the fun times. Gratz all!

Fiery Warhorse's Reins! FINALLY!

Could I have been lazier cutting this?

I kill Attumen on so many toons. I have been killing him every week for years... actual years! I have never seen his mount drop. Not even in a group where I lost the roll. Aside from it being 'a number' I didn't actually even want it but I kept going back. Toon after toon, week after week... year after year with no luck. UNTIL THIS MORNING! I logged on and wasn't sure what to do when I realised Veluxia hadn't done any mount runs this week. So off I went to Karazhan expecting nothing. I didn't even clean out my bags to make room for the loot. I didn't want any of that junk anyway! How shocked I was
when I saw the fiery horseshoe icon in the loot window! Fiery Warhorse's Reins was finally mine!

'Oh, IDC, it's ugly anyway!'For all of my jealous proclamations to it's ugliness, it really is kind of nice.

NO MORE KARAZHAN!

You know what feels better than having the mount though? I never have to go back to Karazhan again.

I've Got 9999 Problems but a Bone-White Primal Raptor Ain't One

When Rav asked me what my WoW plans were for the weekend, I told him I wanted to finish farming for the Reins of the Bone-White Primal Raptor.

Rav: 'Well you love grinds, it should be fun for you.'
Luxy: 'Do I?!'
Rav: 'What else are you going to complain about?'
Luxy: 'Hmph!'

He is half right.

When 5.2 hit I farmed up the bones for my Spectral Porcupette then another 2 to give away as gifts. That wasn't so bad. I had no trouble making myself go out there every 3 days to farm up another Primal Egg but after the 7 eggs it took to get the Reins of the Black, Green and Red Primal Raptors, I couldn't bear going back to the Isle of Giants.

I would occasionally go back and farm a hundred or so at a time before getting distracted or bored. At some point last week I decided I should just get it done. The bones were taking up precious space in my inventory. I made a couple of serious trips out there to farm and my Mountain of Giant Dinosaur Bones was piling up. I put Arrested Development on the second screen since I wanted to re-watch it all before Season 4 starts (can't wait!!)

On Friday morning I had close to 7000 Giant Dinosaur Bones sitting in my bags. I told myself I could do it. I have farmed worse things. At least the bones are 100%. Skyshards were much, much worse.  

3000 didn't take long! Some awesome friends and guildies helped out at various times during the whole 9999 farm. The company and help was much appreciated.

Look at all this space I get back!

 Yay, a Feat of Strength! No points but any shiny is a good shiny these days!

That is kind of a lot of problems for one person to have.

The Bone-White Raptor mount takes my count to 210! Now my only trips to the Isle of Giants will be for that evil Oondasta (or to help others who are farming).

This is where I should say something positive about the way it looks, right? Umm, it has very pretty eyes.

What now?! Bring on 5.3!
