I made a gold!

        Yes! after much work (and a total inability to use the auction house while on a trial account), I finally have one gold. The final push took me into the region north of Ironforge, several missions earning 5s took me to a place filled with Elder Bears in the level 12-14 range, and there it was, Ol’ Smokey. Lv 20, its name glowing red in a way that said you are crazy, don’t even think of trying this….well, I tried it.   I must say I was quite disappointed that it didn’t put up much of a fight, my lvl13 wolf hit him for 40 damage, I activated my abilities, and targeted him with hunters mark and let loose an arcane shot. blamo! (that being the technical term for what happened) he was down to 20% health and my wolf finished it off before I could even reload.  There was no money on it but it did have 2 magic weapons (neither of which I could use) each selling to the vendor for 25s. SCORE! 1g!! That was entirely too frustrating. Now, I just need to decide what training to spend my 1g on….
