Hello there world! I know its been quite a while since I’ve posted. I’m not going to lie. I forgot my password and was too lazy to log into my e-mail till today.
Today’s topic: Profession Powerleveling
As much as we all want to admit we made the right choice with leveling a profession the first time, at least 10% of us decide it was a dumb idea somewhere along the way. And they know who they are.
I’m going to raise my hand and say I’m one of that 10%. As a matter of fact, with 7 characters total, I’ve done it a total of twice. (I think.)
My most recent revelation included the notion of my shaman wearing Engineering goggles and riding around in that sweet looking helicopter. Yep, I fell for it. I couldn’t shake it out of my mind and ended up giving up and just started gathering mats for my powerleveling of Engineering. Now realize she had Mining and Skinning to begin with so this wasn’t that much of a stretch.. And I was using her to help level my Death Knight’s Blacksmithing. (Which is slowly climbing towards 300. (Insert sigh of relief here.)
So I’m not completely against profession powerleveling guides, as a matter of fact the guide at: http://www.wowguideonline.com/ is the one I’m currently using to powerlevel my Engineering. First night was from 1 to approximately 150ish. Night 2 was spent from 150-190ish. (At this point I was out of those said mats that I had farmed up prior.) Not bad for 2 nights of work. And it was relatively cheap! Yay! I think I may have spent 100g now on it. That’s without the training of course.
Not only am I using that guide for my engineering I was really inspecting the guide for blacksmithing as well. That guide turned out to help me already as well, considering I was pretty well lost as to what to create next. As a huge goal for me was to get to 280 to go out to Hellfire and pick up the 375 skillups I noticed it had mentioned a Weaponsmith Only Item for 5 points, 3 of which I had already! So I ran to Silithus to go farm the 8 Core of Earth for the other 2. After 2 hrs the first night I got fed up with farming it and went on to other things, but had picked up 4 of those 8 I needed. Tonight I’ve managed to pick up the rest of them. Took even less time tonight than it did the night prior. I have to just LOVE that random drop rate. In the process I picked up approx 75 Solid Stones which I used for my engineering. (Kill two birds with one stone why don’t ya?)
So instead of struggling to mine the Mithril I needed to continue leveling my Engineering now I can leasurely mine it as I’m out in Silithus taking my time to pick up all of that Thorium I needed for my blacksmith. Who at this second is 285/375.

Now on a side note, I want to write a little bit about my brand new guild! About 2 weeks ago there was a group of people that I had pugged a raid or two with that left their guild and joined the one I was involved with at the time. After a drama-filled episode of spontaneous retarded crap, they moved on to Carnage. Which was okay for everyone but about 3 of us who were very upset about the change in how the guild was being managed anyway. Within 5 days of them leaving, myself and 2 of the officers had left as well.. I’ve not seen that the last officer had gotten into Carnage as of yet but myself and the other officer are now. Its a good guild. So now when you visit Fizzcrank-US you will see my druid’s tag as: Feilena the Hallowed <Carnage> (I like it.) If you are interested in learning more about my new guild please visit: http://www.carnage-fizzcrank.com/ .
So now that I have found my password I’ll be posting again so stay tuned for updates!
