So old Hesston here started this week off the right way it seems. Last night I figured I’d take it easy after the busy weekend and just farm some leather and sling some items in the Auction House. Maybe even pay Greatfather Winter a visit and tell him to bring me a Spirit Beast damn it.

However, some randoms invited me along for some heroic runs and I said “Hey what the hell, why not?” After all, I was still trying to impress the Argent Crusade into selling me some of their better merchandise.

Boy did that turn out to be a good decision.

First we hit Violet Hold, a place that has become very familiar to me. We mowed that place down and I was able to pick up my second frozen orb, which will come in handy when I start crafting some epics via my leatherworking.

Next we we traveled to the Caverns of Time to help Arthas kill a bunch of people in old Stratholme. I still don’t understand why those Keepers of Time want us to keep doing this, they need to get out more. However, I was able to pick up a Mobius Band, a ring I’d accidentally passed on twice before.

When we were done, the Argent Crusade really thought I was a swell guy, having helped them tons already. Still, they wouldn’t give up the goods. So, pick-up team stayed together and we hit Utgarde Keep, a relatively easy place to get through as long as everyone knows what they’re doing. And wouldn’t you know, that damned Ingvar dropped something I’d been wanting up until I got my Nesingwary 4000. That’s right, I snagged a Drake-Mounted Crossbow from the bum.

Yes, it’s not better than the gun but it’s a good secondary weapon in case I ever want to mix things up.

To top it all off, at the end of the run the Argent Crusade thought I was really great, I think the word they used was exalted, and were willing to give up the goods. I was finally able to grab a Polished Regimental Hauberk, yay! I haven’t slapped a gem in it yet but plan on doing so ASAP.

All work and no loot make Hesston a sad hunter…but lots of great loot makes him incredibly thrilled!

This should help out rolling into Naxxramas this weekend. It also means that since I geared up early this week, it leaves more time for skinning beasties and looking for Mr. Spirit Beast.

Come out, come out, Loque’nahak, wherever you are.
