Shoxxie of the Exodar

Well, it’s about time!  With four 80′s in the stable, I have FINALLY managed to best a Champion while jousting, and Shoxxie is now Of The Exodar!  Woot!  Maybe there is hope for my jousting after all!  After reading many many helpful guides, I have settled on the safety-first approach – Charge them as they head off, then keep shield-breaking and heading in to whack them on the head.  No more charging.  I beat my champion with about 4 health to spare, so I’m scared of facing the Black Knight.  But I figure I’ll muster up the courage eventually.  In the meantime, I thought I’d boost my confidence by finishing off more Valiants and getting me the Exalted Champion of Darnassus first.  How does Shoxxie look on a cat?

Fishing Pole for the Fashionista

Any fashion conscious player will know that it is important to look good in every situation.  And, while the Mastercraft Kalu’ak Fishing Pole may have +30 fishing and underwater breathing, it is FAR from gorgeous.  It also requires Exalted with the Kalu’ak, which can be quite tedious.  And, let’s face it, it every fisherman/woman in Northrend seems to have one.  All of these are reasons why I was absolutely thrilled when I opened my Bag of Fishing Treasures from my daily fishing quest the other day.    Included amongst my treasures was this lovely Jeweled Fishing Pole – a Tiffany Cartier original with +30 fishing.  Very spiffy!!

Yes, I KNOW it’s Shammy gear

The really cool thing to come out of my emblem drama last weekend, was my new Gnome Warrior, SNAZZLE!

I’m leveling her Protection, which is tons of fun!  Now, the observant of you will notice that she has some Heirloom items.  You might also discover that those Heirloom items looks suspiciously like Enhancement Shaman or Hunter Heirloom items.  Well – I don’t care!! I didn’t have enough emblems to get her brand new gear, so she’s got hand-me-downs from Shoxxie.   It’s still better than anything else around at level 21, and it gives the experience boost.  So, if you see a little gnome warrior with a spiffy pink ponytail running around in Shammy mail for a while – forgive her – her family couldn’t afford new stuff just yet.
