Arcanist Doan is Done

5.14.06

I went to a friends' house over the weekend. He happens to play WoW, so we alternated playing every two hours. I took full advantage of this. Xelare started on friday at level 30. I went to STV for the first time and grinded like a maniac to 32. This also worked up my skinning-- which in turn made me some spare gold. A group in my guild asked if anyone wanted to tag along to SM. I was 2 levels low (give or take) but I asked. Hesistantly, they took me to the library. We cleared all the way up to doan with no problems. We get to doan and get him to about 1/3 health. Then all of a sudden, he lets off his AoE fire move. I'm dead. Having learned from past experiences, I didn't release 'til they downed and looted him. Illusionary Rod and Mantle of Doan both dropped. I needed and won both. I can't wear the mantle for a level and the rod for two, but at least it'll be an upgrade from my emberstone staff. Now: Ghosts of Ironforge was fairly large, with 100 people or so. We've merged with another guild about the same size to make KOH (Knights of Honor, as far as I know. All I can confirm is that the tag says KOH). We now have about 60 level 60s and 200 some people. Very nice. I'm gonna try to hit 34 this weekend. I'll be sure to post a screenshot of me with my mantle and rod. ^_^
