ARRRRRGH!

Well, I hit level 75 and started doing Pa'Troll, and discovered (the hard way) that Throwing Down counts as a kill! At least, it seems to count the destruction of a pit to be a kill of an unknown... I thought Pa'Troll had a fixed set of quests, and since Mainchenn didn't get a kill credit, I just went with it, but checking my kills after the first one had me at 1.

If you haven't read the comments, Roguedubb also got a kill credit at level 69. I think I'll just retire...

Trundling along at 65

Not much in the way of news... two more dailies, Spirits of Auchindoun since level 62, and now the Dalaran cooking daily. My gathering is way ahead though, I can mine and herb the lowest-level nodes in the level 85 zones.

Level 60

I made level 60, and I've got the fossilized raptor:

Archaeology pet

Got the little fossil dino pet:

Northrend

Not for quests, but for fishing, cooking, and herbalism. With my +10 gloves, I can gather goldclover, and my fishing and cooking are high enough too. It will take a while for my mining to catch up.

Since Outland is more-or-less off limits to me until level 58 (I don't want to group with a mage to get a portal), I've managed to skip over it for now.

Another close-ish call

I was doing Overlord Mok'Morokk's Concern, which involves picking up items near dragonkin, so as a pacifist that meant picking up items while getting whacked by dragonkin. However, dragonkin are large and tend to block such items... I did my usual technique of picking up items "behind" me, so I can grab items without accidentally hitting mobs, and that seemed to work (I got the usual "you are facing the wrong way" message when I clicked on a mob), but either I slipped up or combat mechanics are different, because when I turned around I started hitting a dragonkin. Luckily, nobody was around to "help" me by killing the mob (which would give me a kill credit) and I let the mobs kill me.

Again, mothballs

Well, I put Reinisch into mothballs way back when he ran out of quests; I'm going to put Flos (mostly) into mothballs, probably only doing the cooking & fishing dailies until I get the expansion and can add Archaeology XP (and since I suggested it as an Xmas present, I'll have to wait about 2.5 weeks).

However, gathering XP uses rested XP, so I should catch up quickly in any case. Right now at level 26, I don't have a lot of quests I can do, and rested XP doubles my gathering XP until it runs out.
