Ding 83! What now?

And there we go. Level 83 is the maximum we can reach at the current state of the Cataclysm beta.

I have only played on 2 areas: Mount Hyjal, where I still lack one quest that is bugged and did quite a few quests at Deepholm (if I would have to guess I'd say most of them by now).

So now it's time to either copy the same level 80 character to try do the whole Abyssal Depths or try one of the new races.

Sigh... Decisions, decisions, decisions... Any suggestions?

Cataclysm Changes on Pet Leveling

99.9% of all World of Warcraft hunters agree: leveling pets has always been a huge pain in the rear end. Right? Right.


Yes, Blizzard has helped us quite a lot when they added pet auto-leveling, where any pet that you tamed would automatically increase its level (if it was lower) to our current level minus 5. Imagine that you are level 80 and you tame a level 60 pet. In the good(?) old days you would have to level the pet from 60 to 80. When patch 3.3.0 came out, the pet automatically levels to 75 (80 - 5 -- see how good I am with math?) and, all of the sudden, we just needed to bring our beloved companion through 5 levels. With 3.3.0, pets also only need 5% of the hunter’s XP to level. Yeah!

And this is how it goes right now.

In Cataclysm, as of now, your pet still needs only 5% the XP we need to level BUT the small difference is that whenever you level a new pet, it will be 3 levels below you and not 5. Of course this is all due to change but, nonetheless, this is great news for us, since it will allow us to actually use the whole bunch of nice, cute, fluffy, deadly pets we’re going to collect, thanks to the new stable (more on that on a future post).

Long live the 80s!

We just hit 80! It was a bit of a long huntering session since we were pushing it a bit to hit it tonight. Hurray for us! Now for some rep, some nice heroics, max professions, make some gold... Fun, fun fun!
