Nice one! I need to do some pvp and stock up on honor before 4.3
comes, will get round to it sometime I guess!

Good luck there, I'll have to try selloing some agi stuff, my mail int
shoulders refuse to sell :-(

Probably a few weeks away yet, the Darkmoon Faire stuff only just came
up on the test realm so I imagine there's a bit more testing to go
yet. Looking forward to it when it does come though, a few decent
changes.

Yeah, the better way is by being a member of the faction which has
fewer people queueing :-P On Draenor there's far more pvp'ing people
on Horde than Alliance, when we did Wintergrasp it was usually about
5-10 Alliance vs 50-100 Horde. Tol Barad evened it up numberswise so
at least Alliance don't get utterly thumped every time, which
encouraged a few more to queue up, but there's still a lot more of us
than them queueing each game, so many of us are left stuck outside
hoping to get in before the end. Factionchange or server change is the
only way to improve that :-/ Although it would be nice to have an
indicator of where in the queue you are at least, so you know if it's
worth hanging around or if you may as well go do something else!
My weekly update: last week was a lot about instances of various types
- I already posted my 5-man experiences :-) Ran Molten Core on my
priest and druid together, priest's T1 robe *finally* dropped, meaning
I could complete my first transmogrification set :-D Druid's shoulders
did not drop, somewhat annoying when I've got all the other 7 pieces
of the set, and it's only the shoulders I want for transmog :-P Ran
again with my warlock and warrior, got nothing either wanted, but the
druid shoulders dropped. *sigh*. On the plus side, my druid is getting
ever closer to completing Sulfuras - I could just buy the missing bits
off the AH, but since I need to run another 8 times to get my priest
to exalted, I may as well see if they drop first: need 2 Blood of the
Mountain and one Sulfuron Ingot, should drop soon enough I hope :-)
Also paid a quick visit to Tempest Keep and killed Void Reaver, got T5
shoulders for my bf's priest and for my own warlock (my priest got the
shoulers last time we tried the place), unfortunately I'm very
unlikely to complete the set with only two of us in the group, can't
kill enough bosses. Was hoping for a pair of shoulders from the trash
which go with an outfit I'm making up but no luck this time; I'll
return though. Also ran the warlock through some BC 5-mans a few times
to collect other bits of the outfit; my robe and belt have now dropped
so if I can just get the shoulders I'll be all sorted - best match of
gloves is the current warlock T12, which should be available from
justice points in 4.3 :-)
Other than that I've been working on dailies a bit, taking my shaman
through Tol Barad (and fishing a lot!) and my druid through Molten
Front, and cursing when I accidentally opened up the wrong set of
dailies (was trying to get the druids of the talon set open so my
priest can finally get the achievement involving the flamewaker
sentinel and a group member... but got the wrong set opened, doh!), oh
well, at least the marks rack up faster now so soon I'll get the right
set :-P Also been doing Archaeology, and not getting anything
interesting drop, naturally - working on yet another Canopic Jar,
which I'm sure won't contain my recipe, but guess I'll see!
This week's plans: more transmog gear, more dailies, and hopefully
some 5-mans, will see how it goes!
