[Knight Errant]

Level 71 so far and I'm fighting Northrend mobs that are roughly equal to my level, although that presents its own set of challenges (mobs die so fast it's tricky to maintain an in-combat Focus gain).
I really need to sort out a Killshot macro, I've been procrastinating on making one and it's lack of availability is becoming a Focus drain.
I'm currently sitting on just over 900g, only 3100g to go for Artisan Riding and extra zoom!

I seemed to make plenty of money on my quest up to 90. I got the ability to fly at max speed and in Pandaria and still have around 4k left.

EDIT: wow I actually managed to post here.

[Neon Vixen]

Since I once again seem to be able to post here. Here is my updates from the past few days.

I made level 90 with my Death Knight over the weekend and spent a couple of hours starting off my gathering and crafting career gathering herbs for Alchemy. Last night I spent some time on the Timeless Isle with Ang and his bro and got some very nice gear upgrades. I should now be able to do some group content.

The journey to 90 was fun and it had some interesting quests and quest mechanics along the way. Some of the stand out quests were climbing a tree to throw trapped bear cubs down onto a trampoline to safety, jousting on the back of a bird where the only control
you had was steer and flap the wings by jumping, riding on the back of a mammoth in to battle and controlling a pack of lions to attack the local wildlife in a mini RTS mission.

I also kicked off my Gnome Priest so he could pick up tailoring and enchanting and eventually be used to make bags.

Roughly halfway through the Dragonblight region and L73. With all the skinnable mobs it's a leatherworker's paradise.
Two more levels to go, then I can unlock Blink Strikes for my hunter pets. Having a pet that can teleport directly to a target will provide a far more instant response and cut down on the lag cause by the pet having to run into melee range.

on the downside you will no longer be able to yell

[Knight Errant]

Well, not until I get Stampede and stack my pet summon slots with various types of Canine.

Odd, it won't let me quote you (error 403).

[Neon Vixen]

Had the same thing with quoting. It's a very odd bug.

@Neon What server did you say you had your Horde characters?

[Neon Vixen]

I believe Ang's are on Shadowsong. My level 61 Paladin is on Hellscream.

[dafoe]

Yep, my horde toons are over at Shadowsong (have 1 85 horde druid at Blades Edge as well).

Having started a new baby paladin over the last couple of nights I think its safe to say that class has the worst 1 to 10 experience of any class. It took so long to kill everything and you ran out of mana if you try to fight more than 1 mob without resting. I must have died around 6 times just in those levels along.

Then you hit level 10, pick a specialisation and in comparison become over powered. At level 10 with a protection spec I was able to round up 3 mobs. Use avenger's shield and one shot all 3. Plus with the passive mana regen buff and the fact that the cost on skills decreased. 6 mana per attach down to 1, my mana woes were gone.

It seems weird that the early experience for paladins is so broken. I never had these issue with Warrior, Rogue, Priest or Druid when I level'd them through the first few zones.

I think the same would apply if you were playing a warrior and speccing to Protection. The performance hike is dramatic.
Where did you start your Paladin? I might have something that can help.

Ezralina is now L82.5, I've almost finished the reef area, which has been an interesting change from the relatively grim Northrend. Ezralina finally finished the Winterspring Saber Mount daily quest chain and has a fluffy magenta tiger steed for her efforts.
The push towards 4k in cash to buy the next tier of riding skill has had a few setbacks but I'm edging ever closer through a combination of junk selling on the auction house and picking expensive things from quest rewards when there isn't anything I can actually use (Gah! More chainmail for shamans?! ).

My paladin is a human, so she is currently in Goldshire about to head out west to the Garrison.

It's Hoggering time!!!

Did you know Carbot (who make the excellent Starcrafts series) also do WoW?

You do now.

This one is everything that is wrong with the questing system.
