On my trip to the Exodar, I found a lvl. 10 Blood Elf Rogue just as I got off the boat. He wanted me to help him find a Blood Elf Bandit Mask, which makes you look like you wrapped your face in a red towel. He apparently thought it looked pretty neat, and since it's one of the very first head-slot items you can get in the game, he decided that he had to have one.

The problem is that it drops from a single mob that randomly spawns SOMEWHERE on Azuremyst Isle. And it has a 9% drop rate once you find the mob. Not good odds. This guy wanted me to help him track it down. He seemed to think that he only spawned in front of one tree, but I humored him and followed him to the tree, where of course there was nothing.

Just for fun, I decided to run around and try to find it anyway. Naturally, I could cover more ground on my epic mount with riding crop than he could on his...feet. I wasn't sure if I would give it to him if by some miraculous chance I actually found it, or keep it for myself. After about 5 minutes, I gave up and ported away when he wasn't looking.

However, the rogue seemed to think that I had promised him a mask or something. He fully expected me to buy one on the AH (which I was going to do before his sense of entitlement kicked in) or go back to Azuremyst and farm for it for him.

And he kept at it too. He kept asking if I had his mask yet, so I blocked him. So who knows what happened to him. I do know that he had somehow destroyed his hearthstone.

I got to meet the head Shaman of the Draenei.
One thing that annoys me: the draenei get a HUGE area dedicated to shamanism. There are big shrines to the elements, with glowing rocks and stuff. The shaman area in Orgrimmar is the foyer of Grommash Hold. Argh.


This is really creepy. Crystals with blood veins. HUGE crystals with blood veins.

So, I guess that's the Exodar, way back. Too bad it's so fogged out. I've got my settings maxed out, too.


The passageway into Exodar.
It now occurs to me that anyone playing a Draenei, or even Alliance players in general, doesn't really give a fuck about seeing something they've seen a hundred times like this.


The main chamber. They sure went crazy with the spell effects and stuff.


Here's a sort of museum showing off all the different races of the Burning Legion. There's supposedly accompanying text, but I guess it's not available to Horde players.

I realized that I had never been to the Exodar, so I decided to go check it out.


First step is climbing down a waterfall from Felwood to Darkshore. There are 5 jumps into pools of water that would otherwise kill you to get from the top to the bottom. I died on the 4th and had to rez at the Spirit Healer in Darkshore.


But I got to see this crazy thing! I've been meaning to go take a look for a long time now, and I finally got to it. Rumors suggest that this was one of the Old Gods.


I hopped aboard the boat to Azuremyst. Luckily, the kind guards at Aberdine were happy to show me the way.
Also, this is a really cool looking boat.


I guess this is the back entrance to the Exodar. Not exactly as hard to find as the Undercity back door, since it's the FIRST thing you see when you step off the damn boat.

Lightning Bolt - Earth Shock - Chain Heal


This is something I got the urge to throw together last night. I decided to make a cool logo for an eventual redesign of this site (yes, another one), but then I started thinking...it would look really cool on a t-shirt.

And to top it off, I decided to do 3 different versions, one for each Shaman talent tree. Of course, you can get whichever one you want to. IF you want to.

Proceeds go to the Feed Baluki Fund. I make a buck on each, and CafePress gets the rest.

I finally managed to get the Gronn-killing quests done in BEM, which you have to do in order to grind rep for the Ogri'la faction, and more importantly, for more Skyguard rep quests. The bombing runs are awesome; even better than the egg-bombing quests in Skettis.

I was just thinking...in this quest, I was crowned King of the Bloodmaul and Bladespire ogres. I also recall being crowned king of the Gordok ogres in Dire Maul. So...I'm the king of 3 ogre tribes? Why, I could unite them and lead them into a new age of peace. Or, I could use them to destroy my enemies! Such choices...

Jeez, look how much better this Murloc Suit looks compared to everything else on the screen.

Ah, it's good to be back. Thanks to my student loans, I can now afford to play the game again!

That's not all. I also have a brand new uber laptop (also paid for with student loans) that lets me run the game with the video settings maxed out. And, of course, in Widescreen.

I haven't actually played Baluki at all so far. I've just been playing my 25 Tankadin and my 25 Shadow Priest. I'm still working on finding a new guild to join (everyone left my previous one) so hopefully I'll be able to get back into the swing of things soon.
