Obsessions

Muirrin is obsessed (well, I am, and she's the avatar for this obsession).

Ando is, as I may have mentioned before, something of a pet and mount collector and while I've been a tad slack in aquiring them recently (there's only so many horses, striders, cats, etc a mage can have) there's one in particular she'd love to get her hands on: the bike. I could buy one on the AH or commission a guildee to make one, but with young Muirrin a 450-rated engineer, I set my heart on doing it myself (farming the matts and rep needed).

As a consequence, Muirrin has broken off from swimming around Vashj'ir and instead been scouring Northrend for quests that award Alliance Vanguard rep (either directly or via the subsidiary factions). She's done everything she can find in Borean Tundra, Howling Fjords and Grizzly Hills as well as large chunks of Dragonblight and Storm Peaks. gaining about 80% of a level while doing so (Northrend mob-kill XP may be nerfed for 80s, quest XP isn't) Friendly and honored flew by but things slowed as she worked through revered and honored. She hit the first "wall" at about 1k into the Exalted grind, then another at 11k. In both cases I managed to dig out new blocks of quests I'd skipped or missed, dragging things inexorably foreward.

Yesterday I was sure I'd need to do half a dozen heroics to grind the rep through championing, but in the end two blocks of quests allowed Mu to push to 18.5k/21k. I'm pretty sure that's it for regular quests unless she unlocks somethign else (there is one more chain, but it's a pain and has its own mini-grind part way though). She might finish on Saturday (as she can grind just over 1000 rep a day through dailies) but a single heroic instance might see her sorted too ... will have to see.
