Welcome to episode two of Path of the Paladin. Today we start in Dalaran.

• 1:38 – It seems that my server is up a little early (relative to the announced maintenance schedule), so I’m diving in. I’m playing Eddie Izzard’s Dress to Kill vid on my MP4 player as background noise. It’s funny as hell, and provides me with something to listen to while I ride aimlessly to my goals.
• 1:40 – I know how thrilling it is listening to me do my profession dailies, but I’m going to check them anyway.
• 1:41 – Game freezing… maybe it’s not as ‘up’ as I thought.
• 1:42 – Ok, I’m going to log out and try this again. Please be patient.
• 1:45 – I’m logging back in now. This had to happen when I wanted to do a PotP entry, didn’t it?
• 1:46 – While we wait, I want to point out that I got the Filling up the Barn achievement last night. Only 25 more mounts to a drake. lol
• 1:48 – And we’re in again. Today’s fishing daily is The Ghostfish, and since I’m headed to Sholozar anyway, I’m taking it.
• 1:49 – Mustard Dogs! is the cooking daily, so that works as well. Taken.
• 1:50 – Dalaran’s an absolute hub of activity right after a server restart. I’m taking the flight path to Sholozar since I don’t want to have to go around Wintergrasp. This is something else patch 3.2 will fix.
• 1:54 – Touchdown at the River’s Heart. I’m going to fish up that ghostfish quick, so hang on.
• 1:55 – Who’s surprised that River’s Heart is swamped with people right now? Not me.
• 1:56 – I’ve spent – according to Fishing Buddy – over an hour and a half of game time, total, fishing here in River’s Heart. The only time I come here to fish is for this daily, so this says one thing to me: I’m a sucky fisherman.
• 2:00 – Still fishing. One of my guildies just said he got some sweet loot last night, including Edge of Oblivion and Sword of Justice.
• 2:01 – Finally! Got that stupid fish. He’s now et.
• 2:02 – Now to dig up stones for the Oracles. I’m almost revered! C’mon, Jaloot, we got work to do.
• 2:07 – Good boy, Jaloot. Now to turn this in and see if I need any more to hit revered.
• 2:08 – Yup… one more needed. I’m off to play music for dirt now. Why? Ask the Oracles. I just do what I’m paid to do. Yes, I am a mercenary.
• 2:14 – The dirt’s happy now (I guess), so I’m off to turn this quest in.
• 2:19 – En route, I stopped off to kill some rhinos for the Rhino Dogs I need to make, and in the process, looted a Cameo Ring and some Wolverine Armguards. Not bad.
• 2:22 – Gah! Making dirt happy isn’t enough, now I’ve got to go kill 50 Wolvar with crystals. This could take a while.
• 2:30 – Finally killed all 50 using the gem stones (actually, it was pretty cool), and I also got promoted in my guild. A good morning. On top of that, I’m now Revered with the Oracles. Time to buy that first egg.
• 2:32 – I got my egg, and now I’m hearthing back to Dalaran to cook my rhino dogs, find some wild mustard, and turn in the ghostfish quest.
• 2:37 – I just got booted from the server! I’m gonna log back in again.
• 2:39 – I’m in Dalaran (finally). Now to find that wild mustard.
• 2:43 – Mustard found, and Mustard Dog Basket complete. Time to turn in my two profession dailies.
• 2:45 – Bah humbug. Nothing good in my reward bags. Oh well, I guess that wraps up another less-then-thrilling Path of the Paladin.
