Oh that one's annoying, yeah, word of warning, if it's the first time
he's asked you for a heap of mana, he will again in a later step of
the chain. I'm glad I see a lot more of it around the safer side of
town nowadays, all the ones in the city give largeish chunks compared
with those in the wilds, so it's not too bad if you pick some up while
doing WQs nearby; at least you can double up on things in the same
area.

Hehe I am indeed surprised! Although that Black Temple part was
fantastic, even having not raided at the time, I've been there plenty
of times solo, so to see it from the other side is a really cool role
reversal, especially looking at what the NPC raid is up to (the AFK
hunter is a great touch lol). 

The whole Illidan chain is cool, I love seeing more of his background,
although I do agree with criticism I read about the Naaru NPC, who
seems to completely ignore anything bad Illidan does and blame us for
his death... hopefully the popular theory that it's supposed to be
suspicious and the naaru has some underlying motives is correct, and
it's not just horrifically bad writing!

The downside to the phone app is I spend resources more than I earn
them on my alts now, as I keep running missions, oops - wish I could
pas along some of the 30k+ my main is sitting on.

Lol :-D I can well imagine that one, luckily my priest can't aoe so
I'm never tempted to pull too many... unless I'm farming leyblood on
the mana worms in the cave by the blue dragons in Azsuna, they're
quite low health so I just tab, dot, tab, dot... and then remember
they're not *that* low health when there's about 10 of them beating me
up...

>I got a 870 of a World Boss, that helped. And my artifact is 871.

Grats, my world boss drops *never* warforge. I had a really lucky WQ
reward warforge up to 870 (it was meant to be about 825), and actually
got a legendary last week (about the worst possible for me -
haste/runspeed buff when I CC... as a spec with only 1 cc, on 30sec cd
- well it's good for running away when I get dazed, I guess :-)),
otherwise my gear is all around 840-860, so it's been just the two
really lucky drops so far. Hopefully more luck will be on my side
soon; my druid got nothing from worldboss this week but my priest
hasn't been yet... ;-)
