Let the dwarf out!!!

Well when I first started I gave the name of Boozsha to a dwarf as a place holder. I didn't really know what class or race I wanted to play at the time. I would tend to want to give the name to a short race as those have always been my favorite to play. Most of our guild tends to play on the Horde side so my alliance toons have just setting there.

Well with the start of the blog I thought I would actually pull him out start leveling him. My blood elf paladin has been a capable solo toon so far. I think it is time to get my Boozsha some experiences since the blog is called World of Boozsha.

What not to wear?

Well I had a good night last night for some upgrades. Hands were upgraded to Fortified Gauntlets of the Bear. WoWhead doesn't seem to have this in their database. Legs were upgraded to Mercenary Leggings. Sentry Buckler was added as a new shield. Barbarian War Axe of the Monkey was looted, and being that I didn't have a two hander axe I decided to keep it. I went to raise my axe skill on some low level worgs. I still like my Sin'dorei Warblade better for the strength. After that I broke down and bought two Netherweave Bags to increase my total slots by eight. Oh...yeah...I also was able to get something for my uncovered head. Hooded Cowl? Great now I look like Little Red Riding Hood. It's ok though, I've found it is great crowd control for the adds as they are usually dying of uncontrollable laughter.

Deciding on professions

Well I've read a lot of different views on professions and I've tried most all except for jeweler. I started out with a double gather, but I quickly found out at that my bag space quickly filled up. Even after getting more bags I still had this problem while questing especially those quest that require multiple drops. I then went with mining thinking I could make myself some nice gear, however at this time I seem to find way better gear while questing.


The stacks of mats foraged from herbalism always sell really well on my other alts, so I decided to take up that skill. I had read were Galo had taken apothecary as a profession, and it seemed to work for him. I also thought the potions will come in handy while questing. Being that these are constantly consumed it will be nice for the upper levels for extra coin. Plus other than buying some vials there is nothing extra to take up a bank slot, and I don't have to go find a forge.

I also got my first aid up to 225. Largely this was easily done by taking advantage of the over abundant mats in our guild bank. Now I can bandage for 800 to save on mana while questing. From reading on Allakhazam I'll need to level some more before I can raise my skill beyond 225. Which is fine because I have four tradeskills that need to be focused on.

Test post on using WoWhead

Test and kinda a post on gear upgrade for me. If anyone does happen up on this please don't laugh at the gear I was wearing.

While working on a quest in Tarren Mills area I was killing bears and spiders and came arcoss Raider's Shoulderpads. These were sorely needed as I was wearing some Canvas Shoulderpads that I received from a quest in the 1-10 starting zones.

Not only did that add more armor, but they look a lot better.

Geting started

Well first I want to start out by saying this is not usually my thing. I'm mainly a lurker among all these wonders of great works of other blogs that are out there. Some of the ones I've been reading for some time are BRK, Galo, Honor's Code, and Pelides. These are excellent blogs and are very well thought out in anything they post. Maybe with some practice I can learn to put my scrabbled thoughts into coherent understandings.

I've been a MMO gamer for about five years now. I started out with Everquest about the time Planes of Powers came out. Boozsha was my 65 mage I played on Solusek Ro server. I have since moved on to other MMO's. City of Heroes, Everquest2, Lord of the Rings Online and WoW. I've played most these games off and on over the years and have been described as being finicky when it comes to characters.

For now I'm playing WoW. So I will focus as much as possible on the development of my main of the week. As of now that is my Blood Elf Paladin that I have a renewed interest in. At the moment he is only level 25, so I figured it would be a good time to start blogging his and other toons journeys. I also have several other alts 38 troll hunter and lowbie dwarf paladin. There are other alts, but they tend to be banking toons.

So let's get this thing started. Maybe I'll actually get one of these to 70.
