After 7 straight days and 40+ hours spent trying to find and tame the cursed Spirit Beast, I decided to re-prioritize that agenda and start leveling again. I’m still looking for Loque, but it’s been downgraded from an obsession to a casual search. With so many factors preventing a successful tame I think I’m just going to have to get lucky. I’ve tried a few different approaches with no success. I figure that perhaps just as in real life (or IRL for those who speak gamer), I’ll have better success finding this perfect pet when not looking. The same way I found my wife. 😉
I had turned off my Pitbull unit frames for a few days so that I could see the oh-so wonderful silver dragon around Loque’s portrait if I were so lucky. I thought that it would not only grab my attention, but also bring me good rare pet mojo (I just love the site of that silver dragon). Unfortuntely, the only time I saw that silver dragon was on a dead Loque’nahak. At any rate, I turned Pitbull back on so I could see my XP bar. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made a huge dent into 77 while stalking this elusive and prized pet.
I went ahead and knocked out some quests in Sholazar Basin that I hadn’t yet completed so I could ding 78 and start upgarding my gear. The next step was to hit Dalaran and get some recipes so I could start crafting some some sexy new Hunter mail. After that, I went and got revered with the Tuskarr for that nifty Harpoon they sell. My DPS received a substantial buff in one day. It was a beautiful thing. Grinding leather in Sholazar Basin has never been easier.
More later, but for now I am sleepy. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
