Aaaaaah; it’s about time. Sadly, I dinged while farming clefthoof leather yesterday afternoon… Oh, well- dinging to seventy is dinging to seventy.
Thanks to the kindness of guildies and friends, I had enough mats to immediately make and equip my Strength of the Clefthoof set. I’m still short a couple of gems, but that’s not a huge issue. Now, to start heroics/Kara…
/sigh
Well, I’m 69 and about 2 bars from 70… I should be really happy about that, but I want to get my Strength of the Clefthoof set ([Heavy Clefthoof Boots][Heavy Clefthoof Leggings][Heavy Clefthoof Vest]up and running ASAP, as well as start my Epic Flight Form quest chain, along with my wife… but it seems it’ll be a pain to do. I’ve got nearly 1500 gold set aside in my bank/AH alt, but that’s only part of the way to the 5000 or so I’ll need to start the flight form quest, as well as the extra cash I’ll need to gem-up my clefthoof set…
As for the Clefthoof set; I’m getting there… I’ve got 60 or so of the 102 Thick Clefthoof leather I’ll need (I’m making the 3 pieces, and then a [Clefthide Leg Armor] kit to go along with it.) I also have, thanks to my wonderful, generous wife, 6 of the 16 primal earths, these being the item I hate farming the very most. Druids vs. Elementals is NOT a fun fight. Or rather, not a FAST fight. Clefthoof? If my OoC procs at least once per fight, I can burn through them at a rate of about one every 10-15 seconds. (I call it my tank gear, but my current gear is really more Cat-gear than anything else…)
The rest of the mats I’ll need are trivial, other than the gems to go in the pieces when they’re done; I’m thinking of adding “Shifting” purple gems for the 4 blue sockets, and “Glinting” orange gems to the 4 yellow sockets; I found what I wanted by checking one of my favorite info-sites, the WoW Gem Finder; specifically, by searching for agility yellow, and agility blue
Although, for the gems, I know I really probably ought to be getting “Enduring” gems for all those slots… I just really like the effects of my agility. Dodge, more armor, crit chance… but I DO need the defense to become uncrittable and make my healers happy… and since I’m married to my healer, that’s probably a good plan…
