To apologize for being such a good boy, being quiet for so long and all, I purchased the Artisan Riding Skill for him – 5000g, Yikes! – as well as a brand spankin’ new Swift Red Gryphon – 200g, what a steal!

After all those expenses, Mandorall had better be farming like its going out of style to make up for this!

Today, I present to you my Hellfire Peninsula Mining Map and Route:

As you can see from the screenshot above (click to enlarge), there is no shortage of Fel Iron in Hellfire Peninsula. In fact, as far as mining in Hellfire Peninsula goes, there is nothing else but Fel Iron.

In a one-hour timed run, here is what I gathered from Mining. I am excluding whatever I got from killing mobs, which wasn’t much anyways:

• 126 Fel Iron Ore
• 1 Blood Garnet
• 2 Living Ruby
• 18 Motes of Fire
• 19 Motes of Earth
• 4 Eternium Ore

I am very happy with these results, especially considering that I did my farming run at a busy time – 6pm server time – and I *know* there were several other people competing for MY ore!

Since I play an Alliance character, I started this run from Honor Hold, but the same route holds if you are starting from Thrallmar. The most constant spawn nodes were found in the little cleft, populated by birds, just south and a little east of Honor Hold. Despite all the other land-bound farmers, I found several Fel Iron nodes, just waiting to be mined, every time I flew over.

I know that my results may be a little optimistic because of the use of a fast flying mount, however I think this is mitigated by the competition. There’s no saying how many Fel Iron Ore you might get if you do a farming run, with a fast mount, at 4am server time!

Herbalism is used as a sister skill to both Alchemy and Inscription, and both require relatively impressive quantities of Herbs to Level.

Moreover, once you reach a certain level in Inscription, you will acquire the skill “Minor Inscription Research”, which is on a 20-hour cooldown and that you should – must – do everyday, as it is the only way to learn how to create “Minor Glyphs”.

Minor Inscription Research requires Moonglow Ink, which is created from Alabaster Pigment, which in turn is extracted from very low-level Herbs, namely Peacebloom, Silverleaf and Earthroot. This means that even at a higher level, you will need to revisit Elwynn Forest occasionally to gahter these Herbs.

Here is the Herbalism map for Elwynn Forest:

As you can see, there is no real clear distribution of the Herbs, as they seem to spawn ‘randomly’ a little everywhere.

There are a few things to remember to maximize your herb gathering in Elwynn Forest, and anywhere else Peacebloom, Silverleaf and Earthroot spawn:

Peacebloom spawns in open grass, usually far from trees or hillocks;

Silverleaf always spawns next to trees;

Earthroot always spawns on hillocks or in the first few yards of the bottom of a mountain.

Keeping this in mind, you should be able to maximize your Herb-gathering route through Elwynn Forest. For example, you may choose to follow the mountains to the north, going east, gathering Earthroot, then looping back down next to the river for other herbs. Make sure you criss-cross the area thoroughly, since the Peacebloom and Silverleaf are usually in the middle, away from recognizable landmarks on the map.

I did a very short run this morning when I went out to take the screenshot, and in 20 minutes or so gathered about 50 assorted herbs, which translated to 32 Alabaster Pigments. This will allow me to continue my Minor Inscription Research for at least a week.

Sigh… They grow up so fast!

*** Tired of being poor? Try this proven WoW Gold Guide and make over 200 Gold an hour, legally! ***

This time, I got [Sash of Sealed Fate]. This is a belt – obviously – that has a lvel requirement of 67, and that would be ideal for a Mage that does not have a belt that is part of a set.

Here are the stats:

• 81 Armor
• 15 Intellect
• Increase spell power by 35
• Increase Critical Strike Rating by 23

This nice little belt dropped for me from a level 67 Sundered Rumbler that I unfortunately (or not!) had to take out while clearing the way for killing Netherock.

Concerning my further adventures in Netherstorm, I must admit that I sort of gave up. I leveled all the way to 69 – just to beat Liberty to it (!) – then decided that the leveling would be better in Howling Fjord.

I hearthed to Shattrath, then ported to Ironforge, then on the boat to the Valgarde, the Alliance city there.

My Death Knight used a two-handed sword, and I must say that I am disappointed that those were not included in the early quest rewards. I guess I’ll go on a little longer, then go to the Borean Tundra and see what kind of sword I can get there!

We met in Ratchet at 3pm Server time. I was, of course, late, because I had dinner and watched an old Star Trek TNG Episode (QPid for those who care – horrible episode starring Jean-Luc Picard as Robin Hood and Worf as a ‘Merry Man’ – “SIR! I MUST Protest! I am NOT a merry man!”)

So anyways our Epic raiding party consisted of:

• Chianna, level 70 Gnome Mage and esteemed Guild Leader
• Gravewax, level 70 Human Mage, wearing Epics from head to toe.
• Drehand, level 70 Night Elf Hunter with a fantastic sense of humour
• Daralan, level 70 Night Elf Rogue and Raid Party leader
• Burnman, level 56 Human Mage, who likes beer and has a slow horse (not his fault!)
• Mandorall, level 70 poorly-equipped Paladin and designated “Healer” who died a lot

So we raided Crossroads, managed to kill pretty much everyone, then some level-70 Hordies started showing up. Of particular annoyance were a Warrior, Shaman and Rogue who were quite adept at killing the Paladin, and everyone else.

We did that for a while, then went down to Camp Taurajo for fresh killing. That went well as well, mostly because no enemy players showed up.

At that point it was getting a bit late, so someone had the great idea of a suicide run on Orgrimmar! In all honesty it was Daralan’s idea but I type faster so I said it.

The goal would be to ride in as fast as possible, and try to kill a banker!

So being the ultimate sport that I am, I rode in first, aggroed all the guards, bubbled and made my way to a banker, which I managed to hit for maybe 2,000 damage before dying struck down. Daralan actually managed to kill a Banker – an Epic feat if there was ever one! – before being undone.

I’m not sure what happened to everyone else, but we all died. IT WAS GLORIOUS!

Daralan and I are thinking that we should organize a huge raid group – preferably several of them – and go raid Undercity. Of course it would be better if someone else would organize it, so all we’d have to do is show up, but eh, whatever.

It was only our “Last Ride” insofar as except for the Rogue, we all had to talk to the Rez-Lady to come back to life.

“We’ll be Back”
