Congrats :)

As you mentioned yourself this sword ain´t the best thing to wield. I would suggest you to get the Ice Barbed Spear which is a quest reward from winning alterac vale, which kicks *** in the fifties.

Or you can get to lvl 60 and run some Ramparts in Hellfire Peninsula and get the two handed sword or Polearm that drops from there. =) There is some decent lewts too, from quests and drops.

The one time that damned sword dropped for my warrior, a pally grabbed it. /cry /wrist.

that was your first usable epic?..i understand if your not a big pvper or anything but why didnt u get the epic bracers from WSG rewards?...i bet that was a lot of peoples first epic

My first useable epic was Vanquisher's Legplates from Heroic Mech. Also I hit exalted with Sha'tar in that run, so I got the Crest of the Shatari too. Late bloomer, but now I have multiple epics! Woo!

My first usable epic (not counting epic mount) is http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=28425&locale=enUS;source=live (Fireguard epic blacksmithing sword) which I finally made last Friday. I got my second usable epic this weekend as well because I got the ring from the Headless Horseman. I haven't done a lot of instances since hitting Outland so I'm a bit behind in gear.

I have considered going back to ST to see if I can get that sword just to use while running lowbie guildies through stuff. I'm not sure I can solo my way though even at 70. :(

I can be careful to the point of annoying at times. :)

I kind of want to solo it enough to really learn the place as I tend to get lost there still. Being prot spec, my lack of high DPS does mean that I'm not the fastest for soloing stuff but I have good survivability.

LoL
I can imagine though fortunately I have never been in a group that didn't make absolutely sure. I wouldn't mind hearing the story though. :P


I did learn quite some time ago that you can't let the "Twilight" mobs in the back part of BFD run away and bring friends as I died soloing them around level 40.

I also learned that vanishing on a Rogue soloing Deadmines during the Van Cleef fight after he summons the extra adds just means that you will have him plus 4 adds and an additional 2 that he summons when you get him down in HP again. >.<

Lol - I was a fresh level 70 warrior, and decided that, seeing as though I had never run (not even entered) Scarlet Cathedral, I would saunter into Lib, get the key, and check out Cath.

Things went very well, I walked past most mobs, and those that I aggro'd were quickly dealt with.

So I get to the main cathedral door, open it up ... and there in the distance, at the end of the hall is Mograine (sic). So I weave my way through the mobs stationed all over the place (agro'd 1, that's all), and attack Mograinne ....

You know the rest, don't you ...

Needless to say, a level 70 warrior cannot stand up against ~40 level 38-42 elites all at the same time, they may hit you for 20 each, put 20*40 is 800 ... even 10k hp doesn't last forever against that.

I've never told a living soul about that before ... it's taken me a good 6 months to admit it, consider yourselves Honored ;-)

Lol - Yes, I pulled it outta him ... and quite easily too.

I feel your pain Jamboo ... I've been brought down to earth on 1 or 2 other occasions since then, thinking I'm an invincible 1337 warrior.

Interestingly enough, I almost had another, similar experience in SM cath while running a guildie through ... only then it wasn't the whole cathedral, it was just every mob on the lower section .... still, about 30 or so.

I survived that one with about 1/4 hp left, and earned an adoring fan in the form of the Guildie I was running through. There was a pile of bodies around my feet, and yeah, it must have looked pretty impressive with the SS/cleave/ww/t-clap combos flying ;-)

I have managed to avoid the SM Cathedral mishap but I was watching my boyfriend double-box with his 70 Hunter and a level 29(?) alt and the alt's low level aggro'd Mograine with most of the back sections of the Cathedral uncleared. He died amid much cussing.


I was soloing BFD for the first time around level 40 and got into the section near the temple with all the Twilight Cultist type mobs and a runner got away from me and then another and another and while I was cutting them down pretty well, I just got totally overwhelmed. After I came back, I started using Line-of-Sight to pull the groups as far into my cleared area as possible so the runners couldn't find anyone. I love using LOS to control situations now. :)


Nice epic, Bilbosorc! I'm considering making the two-handed epic smithing sword but the mats are a bit daunting. I think it takes 10 Primal Mights which go for about a hundred gold each on my server and they can't be farmed. I think I need to level up my poor Alchemist (who is around 280 right now) so she can make me some 'cheap' Primal Might.
