Epic Shardz!

I have been struggling with a name for a new character since I unlocked the Vulpera allied race a few weeks ago. I knew that I wanted to make a warlock since I was having a lot of fun playing one on the classic side of things. I really hope that it translates well into how things are in retail now.

Anyway, I also want to go back and try to unlock some of the other allied races as well. I am most interested in the Nightfallen since I really like the elvish races of Azeroth and from what I have seen, these new elves are pretty interesting. I’m sure that eventually, I will have all of the allies unlocked but these two races are my first priorities.

So back to the point that I was originally making (sorry for bouncing back and forth like this, but you guys should come to expect that from me by now. I mean nothing has really changed since the show went off the air.). I finally made my little fox warlock. 

So here she is! Aprilnova, the Vulperan warlock!

So as I was saying before, it is really cool blowing through the higher-end content in the game, because that is what sticks in my mind the most since its what Zebgora has the most memories of.

However, there is quite a bit to be said for the lower-level dungeon content as well! Running my newly rediscovered druid (who was level 10 when I started playing him again) is now 23 (at the time of posting) and going through dungeons such as Ragefire Chasm, Wailing Caverns and Shadowfang Keep, I discovered that they changed the bosses, even ever so slightly since the Cataclysm. 

It has been an interesting quest, to say the least. I had the idea after getting Amontillado leveled up to 80. So I picked up a character that I had not touched in a long time, along with a class that I have not played since my very first character ever when I had my 10-day trial, a druid!

I had to actually quest until I got him up to level 15 so that LFG could kick in but after that, the levels started rolling in rather quickly. It has also been fun using websites to figure out rotations for abilities and spells and everything, along with talent points and stuff like that.

It greatly depends on how long this quarantine stuff goes on, but I may have quite the diverse selection of level 50+ characters by the end of it if it goes on for TOO long. I’m also not sure how I really feel about that, but at the time that I am writing this, I am enjoying the return to my old habits and ways. That being said, I think that will just about wrap this post up. Stay tuned for more, and in the meantime, here is Cowbobz (as of level 23).

Hey guys! It’s Zeb again. I just wanted to get another post up here while in this crazy quarantine. 

So, I’ve been continuing leveling my death knight and am happy to say that the pace seems to be maintaining itself. Amontillado is level 80 as of the time of this posting and he seems to be averaging a level per dungeon. Still having just as much fun running all of the old dungeons that I remember being so difficult as I leveled Zebgora back in the day. 

THEN…I hit Pandaria. Now, don’t get me wrong, I think Panda-land is my favorite area as far as landscape goes. However, I am now remembering how much I disliked questing through it. Really, it’s the exact opposite of Outland for me, once you get away from the Dark Portal. I remember finding the questing in all the zones to be pretty fun, but the scenery was not to my liking. 

The one big plus to this, as has been the underlying theme in all of these posts so far, is that leveling by dungeon crawling seems to still be a way to go. Now, this may change once I hit level 90 or 100, but I am pleased with how far I have been able to ride this wave so far.

There may be more updates in a day or 2. Then again, there may not be. We here at Epic Shardz never know quite how the mood is going to strike on any given quarantined day. Stay tuned!

So I have been doing a LOT of catching up on Zebgora, my main toon in the game, but also looking at the fact that I have a lot of lower-level characters as well. So, I decided to take one of my older relatively untouched characters for a spin! So here he is, Amontillado, my Blood Elf Death Knight!

As of the time this is published, I started JUST running dungeons 2 days ago and got an amazing (at least to me) 10 levels in 2 days! This has given me a chance to revisit a lot of the Wrath of the Lich King dungeons that I forgot were so much fun! It has also given me the opportunity to see that there are really good people still in this game. I have only died 3 times in this new journey so far and only 1 of those times (amazingly) has been due to my own stupidity. I jumped off the wrong area of a bridge in The Nexus and fell into the void. After swearing at myself as I fell, I released and started the long run back to re-join the group. I apologized. One of the group (and I WISH I could remember his name) said it was all good and that Poe references are always given a pass. Yes, I know it might be something very small and insignificant, but I thought it was a really cool comment.

Anyway, its back to the dungeons for me and Amontillado. Have fun out there in Azeroth and stay safe. More to come!

P.S. – This is Amontillado enjoying a well-earned feast in Dalaran. 🙂
