Mission Impossible?

Now I am 70 there are lots of goals to go for. The goal I put on first place isn’t the goal many would put there, because it seems as a hell of a job.

- Getting an epic flying mount.

When I dinged 70, I bought the flying mount and noticed I had 114g left. That was it. Some 30-40 gold on some alts, but that was really it. I started flying and loved it, but o_O, slow slow slow. On all my other chars, I always went for an epic mount first as it made a big difference in BG’s and basicly for running around. It is no different now for me. I just want to be able to transport myself as fast as possible and an epic flying mount will get me at that status. A goal that stands next to it from today is getting the Karazhan key. I deliberately did nothing so far to be honest. I got a lot of whispers “dude, get your key asap!”, ‘we need you there”, “why don’t you have your key yet” etc. To be honest it annoyed me a little and I have been questing to get gold so far. But the time has come and my mind is right. I want it! And I want it now!

I want an epic flying mount
I want that Karazhan key.

So my actions will be towards those 2. What does that mean? No gold spending on pots, enchants or any other stuff which is not needed atm. No PvP-ing (though I want to do that as well, I can’t do it all together) Ofcourse I will swallow a pot when it’s needed, but I used to pot up for every instance, just because I had them.

I started with 114 gold last Thursday and started with cleaning out my bank. I had lots of questrewards stocked there (all dps- and tankinggear). I vendored them. I put all my primal life, primal shadow, pots and herbs on the AH. I did the same with my bankchar and my alts, though there was not much on them. This brought me to 600g. I’ve been grinding quests (good gold on lvl 70) and picking up every herb on the way, while cooking all flesh I could find. I put it all on the AH. This got me to 1140 gold as from today. Even the cooked meat (23 spelldamage/20 spirit) for 30 mins sold for 1g a piece! Glad I levelled that cooking to 375 :D

Little fun story: Serra (my 7 year old daughter). She was with me this weekend and I showed her the flying mount I bought. She was totally into it and found it extremely fun to fly as high as she could and then release. She would fall down and right before she would fall on the ground, she would bubble up. And like all kids, she could do this forever. I told her she could gather herbs as well in between the 5 minutes it takes for bubble to cooldown. She did that as well and has gathered a lot of terocone/felweed in this weekend (terocone 37g a stack, felweed 10g a stack) in Terrokar forrest. She wrote it down on a paper for me whenever she found one. I wonder what people were thinking who were in Terrokar this weekend. Every 5 minutes there was a paladin falling from the sky somewhere.

Well, I will make a statusreport for my 2 goals in a new post and edit that one for progress. Epic flying mount in progress.

Good luck with the kara-key and whisper if ya need any help.

Ps: You said only kids drop from the sky all day long, that makes me a 25 year old kid ;)
