Yay! Level 54!

by Erik

Well, as the title suggest, I just reached level 54, and I did so while doing some quests in Aszhara. There are some relatively simple quests that you pick up from the Flight Path area at the very west when you cross in from Ashenvale, and I will be posting guides for them very soon. Also, there is a Hunter class quest that begins in this area, with some fairly difficult sub-quests that can take a bit of time to complete. I finished the first one, which is to find two sets of “Perfect Antlers” off the coursers. My next quest took me all the way to the east coast, where I am killing Wavethrashers for their scales. of which I need 8. The path I took to get there was full of fun: lots of elite giants on the way, and I nearly got dead a few times. Thank goodness for Feign Death!

But my favorite so far has definitely been the Blood Elves that I had to kill for a quest or to to get Kim’jael’s equipment back. These guys drop some decent coin, and I was getting mageweave and runecloth quite consistently. The blood elves are easily killed, despite their level, but I found that if they hit me and not my bear, then I suffer more damage than usual. Naturally I try to let the bear get the aggro and not me. Also, more than one at a time can be a problem, as I cannot use multi-shot without at least one of them coming after me. So I end up killing more slowly, and my bear takes more damage. So far I have handled two without a lot of problem, but three is too much; I usually have to run and feign death, then revive the bear (and he usually wakes up cranky!)
