Gnome Party!

This is what happens when half of the Warcraft servers are down.
Players create a new character on a server that is up and goof around.
About 30 minutes after this shot was taken, there were about 50 naked gnomes dancing around Ironforge.

Grinding Scalding Whelps

With a burning in her veins for a rare pet, Pyt headed out for the Badlands to kill Scalding Whelps. She first spoke with a dwarf who gave her a quest for a Black Drake Heart, and then headed into Whelp Canyon. In know that's not really its name, but I cannot recall at the moment.

After a dozen or so kills, Pyt retrieved the item and returned it to the quest-giver. Then she headed back into the canyon to do a bit of "grinding."

By the time Pyt finally called it quits, the hour was late, she had over 100 kills, and was now into her 45th season. Still, she vowed to return, in her personal quest for the coveted Tiny Black Whelpling pet.

Pyt's mount

Finally - a horse! This is Pyt's beautiful chestnut mare.

Enter Season 44

Well, despite abandoning her friends in the middle of the Scarlet Monastery Armory, Pyt labored long and hard to achieve her 44th season.

Pyt has been going it alone, as her former companions are shunning her for her rude behavior. She also has 75 gold in the bank after the purchase of the new Frost Bolt (8) spell, so the aquisition of her coveted mount is a mere 15 gold away.

I leave you with this shot taken on Sardor Isle of a particularly strange moon.

The Big Patch

A huge patch came out yesterday (1.3.0) with a massive amount of changes. Most of my add-ons are still working, but the number that are NOT working is enough to annoy me. Hopefully updates will be released today.

Not much to say, other than that I have started a number of alts (alternate characters) in order to play around with a few different classes. I have been running those for the past day or so, as I did not want to run Pyt within the unstable post-patch environment.

Happy Season 42 Pyt

Season 42 

Season 42 - Description

In a series of tightly-executed Stranglethorn Vale quests, Pyt has finally achieved her 42nd season. In commemoration of this event (and to celebrate the demise of uncounted Raptors, Panthers, Tigers, Trolls, Gorillas, Pirates, etc.), I am posting some snapshots of a few recent events.

The Scarlet Monastery: The Library

The Might Band of Three ventured northward into the Tirisfal Glades in order to assault the stronghold of the Scarlet Crusade. The great hunter Commander Loksey was killed in the ensuing action, as was the famous Arcanist Doan. The group secured the Scarlet Key, allowing them access to deeper parts of the Scarlet Monastery. Unfortunately, Pyt left for Ironforge (to check on some items she had left for auction) and the group disbanded before completing their dominance over the Crusade.

Pyt, now in her 41st season, then journeyed southward into Stranglethorn Vale to fulfill her obligations there. Pyt still retains a large number of quests within Stranglethorn, enough to keep her busy for quite a while; at least until her 45th season, she fears.

She retains a strong sense of wanderlust, and the desolate plains of The Badlands call to her. Dragon Whelps and Mageweave-laden humanoids are in dire need of herd-thinning.

The Big Four-Oh

While harvesting crab legs along the coast in the Swamp of Sorrows last night, Pyt finally attained her long-awaited 40th season. After much rejoicing, Pyt collected the last of the crab legs before 'porting to Ironforge for the much-needed upgrade of some frequently-used spells. The cost was not as much as she feared, and still has 21 gold remaining. Still, it will be some time before she can earn the other 69 gold and be able to afford that coveted mount.

Plans are being made for a run through the Scarlet Monastery very soon.

Mageweave Bags

After venturing forth into the lands of Desolace, Pyt eventually returned to the eastern continent to continue questing in Stranglethorn Vale. Although Pyt has entered her 38th season, her friends (now seldom seen) are in their 40th and 41st seasons.

In the process of keeping her tailoring skills up, Pyt has made Mageweave Bags for everyone, although not everyone has a full set of four Mageweave Bags each, as the material is rare and expensive, for now. As a result of buying the materials and training on new spells, Pyt is now poor again, with very little hope of purchasing a mount upon reaching her 40th season.

There is much to do in Stranglethorn, and Pyt will probably reach her 39th season before leaving its thriving jungles. Hopefully, enough silver will follow so that she will be able to at least afford riding lessons when reaching 40.
