Likewise, so far, but there's some hidden ones (that don't show till
you get them), which I'd like, and I know roughly how to get the main
ones for both priest and druid, just have to get that far! I kinda
like the idea of hidden stuff, although I get jealous of the easier
ones when I'm nowhere near getting mine, but in fairness one of them I
could've had by now if I wasn't just lazy/nervous about it (involves a
5-man I'm yet to visit...)

What, we actually agree on something? They *must* have done a good job
if it suits us both ;-)

Sounds a good idea, I look at my druid's WQ rewards with his artifact
knowledge 2 and they just look pathetic compared with my priests AK11
rewards, it hardly feels worth getting 400 AP for something when I get
about 6k on my priest lol. Ok, it's a bit faster to get the knowledge
but it doesn't feel worth doing any more than emissarys and gear
quests on him, while my main grabs anything going that isn't too far
out of my way.

Yeah, I was thinking my dmg didn't seem to have improved much since
840ish, but then I stopped and thought - at that lvl I was bursting
down 1k health mobs in no time but 2k health still took several casts.
now the 2k ones go down in no time so long as I get a couple of
crits/procs, and it's 4k elites that take the longer time... I just
hadn't noticed the improvement as it was gradual :-) I very much
appreciate the buff to WQ base ilvl with 7.1; it used to max out at
835, now I occasionally see 845, which doesn't need to warforge too
far to be useful (if it's a holy relic it'll be an upgrade no matter
what as I have NO luck with relics, still wearing a couple of 835s
lol)
