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….
Other than that, I had a bit more adventuring with my new friend, helped them take down some enemies they were having trouble with, then they were told that their 1 hour limit was over and they had to go eat supper….yeah, I’m guessing this friend isn’t exactly 2old2play qualified (though I’m sure there are some wives out there who are just as restrictive).
