Fun questlines

I took Ahami back to the Borean Tundra — in the interests of being able to afford things when I hit 80 and during Ideale's leveling process, I've been trying to stick to the first three zones (Howling Fjord, Borean Tundra, and Dragonblight) until I've done all or nearly all of the quests there. I had managed about 50 quests in the Borean Tundra before I fled screaming, and I'm about halfway through Dragonblight and three-quarters through Howling Fjord (have I mentioned I love this zone?).

Borean Tundra has been much more fun the second time around, perhaps because I finished all of the Warsong Hold quests and have not had to deal with swarming, quickly-spawning insectthings this time. I really hated those stupid things. My favorite quests in the zone are most definitely the murloc quests near Bor'gorok Outpost. There's one where you run around freeing baby murlocs, and oh my god, the cuteness. They're fairly quick and easy and you feel like you accomplish a lot doing them.

I'm also really enjoying the D.E.H.T.A. questline. I have had trouble with Kaw the Mammoth Destroyer — the server lagspiked and crashed right in the middle of my first attempt, and it's been bugged ever since (yes, that was me, VeCo. I'm so sorry). His mammoth is now stuck on permanent evade — she doesn't attack but you can't kill her, so even if you kill Kaw (and I have, twice), you cannot pick up the halberd. I'll try again next Tuesday — server maintenance should reset it. I put in a ticket but got some crazy e-mail response about PVP the next day and it's still bugged, so ... yeah.

I loved the Hearthglen quests in Dragonblight, and my favorite quest in Howling Fjord was the one where you have to fight yourself. My favorite quests, though, are the ones to help the Kaluak. I'm still patiently working through the ones in Howling Fjord, having finished both Borean Tundra and Dragonblight.

So what I do each day, right now, is log on, do the Dalaran cooking quest (having finally hit Dalaran a couple days ago), do the two Kaluak dailies (the one where you kidnap wolvar pups kind of makes me cringe, but I think that's just because I did a lot of research and paper-writing on the Carlisle Industrial Schools in college), and then pick a zone and start questing.

I'm not shooting for the loremaster title at all — and would have a lot of work in the Old World and Outland to do if I were — but I would like to save as many quests as I can for later gold. (And I plan on heading back to Outland and doing the Cenarion Expedition quests in Blade's Edge Mountains and Hellfire Peninsula, since I haven't yet — I'm gonna get that damn hippogryph).

Halfway there. I'm hoping to ding 80 before or on Dec. 13 (my next day off).
