Kyroc his level 55 last night in Un'goro. I was grouped with a level 55 mage from my guild who helped me kill Blazerunner to end the Legend of Zelda quest series. I died a couple of times trying, but finally we worked out how to do it with just us two. That was fun. So we killed him once, I go back to the quest giver, and find out that I'm missing the Golden Flame that Blazerunner was supposed to have. Hmmm. We go back, kill Blazerunner again on the second try, and still no Golden Flame. Finally we find the quest item in Blazerunner's cave, it wouldn't even have been necessary to kill him again, we could just have lured him away. Oh, well, sometimes one just plays sub-optimally.
Besides being a Legend of Zelda fan, I didn't get much out of the quest. Good quest series to do in the evenings, when you are tired, because most of the time on this quest is spent traveling. But the item rewards aren't really great for a priest: Either a sword or an off-hand item adding only +20 to healing, plus the boomerang. I can see how the boomerang would be highly attractive to a paladin, as you can use it for ranged pulling without needing any ranged weapon skills, its a trinket. I guess I'll just disenchant both rewards, and keep only the photograph of Linken and Princess Zelda, WoW style, as a souvenir. Due to a lack of storage space, I can't keep all the items I would want to.
Afterwards we went killing yetis in Winterspring for the "Are we there yeti?" quest. No problem with the killing, but the drop rate of the thick yeti fur is abysmal. We cleared out the complete large yeti cave and ended up with 4 of the 20 furs we needed. Unfortunately in that kind of quest there isn't really much of an advantage in doing it in a group.
So I decided to go to bed, when another guild mate requested help for killing the Scarlet Oracle. I switched to Raslebol and helped out. Quite a lot of guild members turned up, so we put everybody who needed the quest in the group that would tag the oracle, and everybody else in a raid group handling the large number of bodyguards. It is good to see how helpful the guild is in these matters. Kyroc will need to do that quest series as well, it gives one of the best wands in the game.
The weekend draws closer, and I plan to at least reach level 56 over the weekend with Kyroc. I also want to clean up some unfinished business, like the last Rescue OOX quest in Feralas. I tried that yesterday, but the damn chicken was bugged, and refused to move after I took the escort quest. If possible I would do some dungeon, but I'm not sure if 55 or 56 is already high enough for Scholomance and Stratholme. Level requirements are usually a bit lower for a priest, as he doesn't have problems with his targets resisting his spells as long as he heals.
