Hey there both fellow hunters and non, welcome back.

This past weekend and weekend of adventuring was a very productive one. At the beginning of the week I decided to have the old memory wiped of the little bit of engineering and blacksmithing knowledge I had, in lieu of picking up the new professions of skinning and leatherworking. The two crafts seemed to make the most sense and the other two just never panned out.

However, I had to start from square one with both. So….back to Elwynn Forest and the Eastern Kingdoms. Over the course of three or four days I blasted through most of the areas skinning every beast that crossed my path and making boots, gloves and various other goods from their hides.

Eventually I was in Outland again, skinning the beasts there. While snatching up heavy knothide leather in Nagrand, I came upon Durn the Hungerer again, a beast that kicked my butt many a time just a few months ago.

KIT and I decided it was time for some payback.

The rest of the week was spent finishing up my skinning training, venturing back into Northrend eventually. My leatherworking skills have come in handy too, and are fairly high (though not at the top of the charts yet). I can make all kinds of goodies.

Over the weekend I ran quite a few heroic dungeons, had quite a few failures and also had some first successes with the guild in Naxxramas.

A quick rundown of things achieved:

• 50 Emblems of Heroism

• Archavon the Stone Watcher
• The Arachnid Quarter (W00t!!)
• Master of Arms (ho hum)
• Snakes. Why’d It Have To Be Snakes?

There were a couple of more things I think, but that’s the stuff at the top of the list.

The Naxxramas victory was notably great. We had some flubs with the group but eventually we had a decent one together to make it through our first wing. I know tons of others have done this before and many have Naxx on farming status, but for me and many others in the group it was first, so it felt great.

Also, some good loot was had:

• Cloak of Gushing Wound

• Razorstrike Breastplate (made this myself)
• Swiftarrow Leggings
• Interwoven Scale Bracers
• Pendant of the Outcast Hero
• Mirror of Truth

I’m still looking for a better belt, and since the Anomalus refuses to drop the chest piece I could use, I decided to make the Razorstrike to hold me over until the Argent Crusade think I’m cool enough to sell me the Polished Regimental Hauberk. Come on you jerks, I won an entire battle for you and saved Argent Vanguard, give up the loot!

That’s all I have for now, and as soon as I can get this goblin image stabilizer working ol’ Hess will put some pictures of this week’s adventures up and tidy this site up more.

Goal for this week (besides gold and rep of course), is to tame the legendary Loque’nahak. He will be mine, oh yes, he will be mine.
