Storytime: Your Favorite QuestFollow

Chapter 1 of Kamora's Journal is now up.

Word, could you do that voodoo that you do so well with the wiki and all. Thanks.

Obviously your main character doesn't quite understand the true sinister nature of gnomes.



I have to be honest. There's nothing in the world quite like sitting at work at 1am, with an eyepatch on your eye(long story) and a piece of kleenex shoved up your nose(I have a cold and managed to make my nose bleed) reading about lesbians while sipping chamomile tea.

I'm not sure if it's my absolute favorite quest, but I recently did the Klaven's Tower quest line for the Rogue class. At first I couldn't figure out what to do. Usually I'd go to here or thottbot if I get stuck, but for whatever reason I just popped open the quest log and it told me to read the diary.

Well, I actually read the thing and it was fairly interesting. It said something about the artifact having some sort of effect on the nearby guards. That's when it struck me. I remembered seeing a funny looking guard patrolling outside. I was going to test out my ambush ability to finally see how that worked out. Then I noticed another shiny little button on my stealth bar that I'd forgotten about. Poof! Got the key without even having to kill the guy. This must be what opens that chest inside!

So I go back up to the top of the tower, clearing people as I go. To my dismay, I still cannot open the chest. It seems the key is to something else. If only I had a Rogue to open this... DOH! I am a rogue. This is a rogue quest. I need to use my rogue skills -- duh! Unfortunately my Lockpicking skill was 0. I remembered I had a quest in Lakeshire that had something to do with picking a lock so I went there and completed that. Conveniently there were practice chests that allowed me to open chests until level 75.

Normally I'd be peeved at having to hearth, go all the way to Lakeshire to do a quest, and then back to Westfall to get the item. For some reason though, I had a blast doing these rogue quests. There's one more part to the chain to go and I look forward to when when I get some time not raiding/crafting. I think the reason I've taken a liking to these quests are that you have to use skills and tactics you don't usually get to play with. How often do you get to sneak up behind someone to pickpocket them or use your lockpicking skills for a quest. I'm hoping that even after the Rogue class quests, these abilities will open new possibilities for me. For example, if the quest objective is to kill a guy to steal his item, maybe instead I could pickpocket it. I'm no pacifist, so I'll be sure to kill him after I pickpocket the item. :)

It saddens me that we've gone so long without a new post here. Will give rateups for new things to read.


I've almost finished the next chapter of my horrible fanfiction, so I'll post that when I'm done. And I'd like to remind everyone to start thinking about your Halloween story this year. I'll probably hold another contest and it'll likely be similar to the one from this year, so if you're interested in entering, I'd definitely think ahead.

Mostly focusing on the characters and not the quest, but here you go -- story sorta-kinda based on this quest.

For the two people actually reading my bad fanfiction, I've posted up my almost completed 8th chapter of The Lore of Poldaran. Again, I must stress that it's not done, but since I moved a copy of it over here, I thought I'd share that with ya.

Edit: If you want to read an older one, here's the link to the table of contents.

Been doin' some writing and questing on various characters, here's a story I wrote for a quest that I've had fun with.

The quest line in the Mightstone Quarry was my inspiration for this one.
