Yay for Patch 3.1!

So lots of things have happened lately. The new patch has been super exciting. :D First of all, Zila went and got all three of those new level 30 mounts for the Horde: White Kodo, Black Wolf, Black Skeletal Warhorse. Her mount count is now at 55.
Her egg from the Oracles also hatched and she got the other Tickbird hatchling. I want that mount, though. Hopefully it'll be in this next egg!

I'm also very fond of the mounts swimming now. Makes it so much nicer when traveling short distances in water, especially when you misjudge the deepness of puddles. Look at my wolfie paddle. :D

I also checked out the brand new Argent Tournament. It's very cool, and let me just tell y'all right now, I'm getting all of those Horde mounts from it. Yup. I love all the new colors for them, though the kodo is lacking (as always); they have to get crazier colors for those things. Or at least interesting patterns.
Zila also got the achievement [A Simple Re-Quest] (finally!) for sticking with her cooking daily.

I finally gave the new patch excitement a break and played my baby druid Imma for a while. She accomplished many things! She's more specced for dps, but successfully tanked RFK, making a new friend in the process: Elethia, a great healer. The group that I ran with all praised me on my tanking, which made me super happy, because I'm a bit of a tanking noob. xD She dinged 28 during that run, and is well on her way to 29.

Imma also tore up Warsong Gulch, getting three achievements: [Capture the Flag], [Quick Cap], and [Warsong Expedience]. She would have also gotten her [Iron Man], but she died once in that battle.

And that's about it for now, guys. I hope to go to Ulduar soon, but... with Zila's gear, that's probably not going to happen very soon. xD Though I am super happy that Demonology got improved. I also put more talent points in Destruction so maybe I can go back to doing mainly fire spells, because I loved the damage I got with that. We'll see.

LEEEEEROOOY JENKIIIIINS

I finally got some Baby Spice from the Dalaran cooking daily the other day. :) So cute. Look at ickle Zila. <3>

I spent some time on my hunter Baniel today. He went on a lovely Zul'Farrak run, gaining the achievement, as well as completing five quests. He dinged 51 after turning them all in. :)
He also danced with someone transformed into an arakkoa. I'm loving that dance.

Today, I was also able to go with a small raid group to Blackrock to kill 50 whelps and gain the Jenkins title. We were quite successful. :D

"Alright chums, let's do this. LEEEEEEEEROOOY JEEENKIIIINS"

Zila also gained the [Vehicular Gnomeslaughter] achievement in Wintergrasp today. I also caved and got a Sundial of the Exiled for her. It's quite nifty.

Pretty-Awesome Spam

Now here's a second screenshot spam of just pretty or awesome-in-general screenshots.

The very necessary 80 ding shot.

A pretty gliding image of my drake.

On my death knight, Shyama, I observed that gear from the Lich King stays solid when you're dead. Thought that was really cool.

Thought this image of Zila was pretty cool.

A neat debuff on my baby Nightelf druid, Imma.

I quite liked this pose my drake was striking.

That's all for pretty screenshots for now. ;D

Silly Screencaps

Before I get into daily accomplishments, I want to do a couple screencap spams of files I've had lying around and never got to share before.

So let the "Silly Spam" begin!

A nice guild collaboration on the One Ring poem.

That's a heavy load for my poor drake.

A couple silly drake bugs. Sitting and flying!

My friend and I are leveling our Bloodelf priest and paladin together as a "gay couple", and I found this image to be amazing. xD Oh, baby. Spank session.

When I got turned into an arakkoa, I couldn't resist /dancing.

That's all of the silliness for now. ;)

An Introduction

Hello all. I feel an introduction is in order before this blog begins.

I am a female gamer who is very much addicted to World of Warcraft. My real name is Marie, but you may all refer to me as Zila or Z. Zila is my main; she is a level 80 Undead Warlock on the PvE server Kul Tiras. (For the Horde!)

As you can see by my armory so far, I am not amazingly geared out just yet, but I am definitely getting there. Getting geared is very nice, but I know that gear gets outdated quickly, so it's never been a main goal of mine.

My main love in WoW is getting achievements, mounts, pets, all that "useless" stuff. I am quite the gold whore as well, and am currently sitting on... well... a good amount. xD I am also the proud owner of an Albino Drake from the achievement [Leading the Calvary]. I have 52 mounts so far (the 52nd is the War Bear from [For the Horde]).

The guild I belong to (Bring Out Your Dead) is incredible. Not that we are an "epic raiding guild" or anything like that, but we are very close knit and made up of wonderful, awesome people. Our guild master is actually a middle-aged woman, which is very empowering for a fellow female gamer.

I am also an "altoholic" and have way too many, so there will be updates on those as well.

The goal I have in mind for this blog is mostly to pat myself on the back for various things I accomplish in the game, and also to geek out about things involving WoW, post funny screenshots of conversations, etc.

I also encourage anyone who decides to read this blog to respond with their own experiences. I love sharing. :)

That's all for an intro I think. Keep on gaming!
