Leafshine: Lust for Flower

Leafy Ding 79!

And just for good measure:

Which Wrath Reps Are Best for Resto Druids?

Like a good little Leafy, I've been busy doing my levelling rep grinds, and have the most sinister penguin in the world and a fishing rod to show for it. Hurrah.

But that's got me thinking - I'm on the path to 80, and want to be gearing up for Naxx. Which reputation grinds should I be concentrating on now that the walrus men love me enough that I don't have to steal puppies for them any more. Which of the tabard-based factions and which of the daily-based factions should I be working on first?

Help a tree out here! Some advice, please, my loyal reader...

Reminder: Hell, No, We Won't Go

Just a reminder that I'm generally a "spoiler-free" player. I don't go on the test realms, and I try to avoid anything but the most basic information about patches until they go live on the servers.

So, this blog will most certainly NOT be your source for all things 3.1-related. :)

Leafshine Salutes Psia With Respect

Nearly four years ago, a young night elf druid travelled back to Teldrassil for the first time in weeks, to pay a visit to a new guildmate, and do a little enchanting for her. Last night, those two elves said goodbye.

Alas and alack, Psia, hunter, modernising elf and author of Chain Trap, has decided to quit the game for some very good reasons. Last night saw her final tour around Azeroth and Outlands, before a final logout back in Shadowglen, where it all started all those years ago. Initially the grand tour was just Psia & I:

But by the end, a veritable army of Ravens had assembled:

Oh Noes! Oh Noes!

Ugh. /sob /cry

Bad news abounds! Abounds, I say!

1. Phae, the druid blogger, the one who was so damn good that she made me get off my lardy virtual arse and get blogging, is calling it a day. I understand her reasons completely, and am glad there's the patter of tiny roots in her future, but the blogging world will be all the poorer if she doesn't re-emerge somewhere or somehow. Thanks Phae. You'll be missed. 
2. We haz been hax0red. Ouch.

Still, I had pancakes last night. That counts for something.

Sixth Son of a Sixth Screenshot

I've been tagged so often in the last few days that I feel like a rare spawn mob. I've been tagged by Phae and Bell and Gnomer and Northern Spiced Tuna Steak and possibly others…

What do I have to do? Find my sixth folder with screenshots in it and select the sixth screenshot in it. 

Well, guys, it's an old one. Let's go back to April 2005 when Leafy and some Shattered Ravens colleagues face this:

Yes, my very, very first Deadmines - and instance - run.

And it's still a big ship. :)

I'm tagging - anyone who hasn't been tagged yet. First six people to self-tag themselves in the comments will get linked. Have at it! 

Auto-Tagees

1. Averna of Nerf this Druid goes dancin' (You askin'? She's dancin')
2. Megalis of Vendor Trash can't decide if it's Naxx or Ironforge
3. Icedragon of Druid Main is busy doin' the BOOMkin in Shattered Halls
4. Xeonio of Rez the Weak (but only if they beg) is cutting the rug…

They just keep coming don't they?

Is it flight form making everything faster?

Or is it Glaive the super-pally helping me clear that backlog of group quests?

Leafy Ding 77!

I'm sure I'm not the only person who likes playing with my guildies' minds just a little bit. For instance, last week I was able to time this:

so that just as all my guildies were saying "Gratz" for the achievement, I handed in a second quest to make this happen:
