I can't manage to sustain that; I was doing daily stuff when working
on the 6k valor quest but now, I pass - may do a single scenario if
I'm in the mood, but not much else, although I try to do 1-2 bits of
LFR in a week. My gear level is such that there's not a lot left for
me now so it's not a great priority (and my offspec is another healing
spec so no need for two gear sets!) so I'm just doing it for legendary
quest items now.

I still have around 1700... they only seem to go up, especially now
you get loads from pet battles!

I'm a tad burned out on what I was previously concentrating on (valor
farming, LFR, scenarios etc) but I'm not bored overall, as I've simply
switched focus. Atm I'm working on Archaeology achievements, and pet
collecting - the pets dropping in old raids are great for me as it's a
nice excuse to do TBC content - brings back *huge* amounts of memories
from the good old days in Karazhan (I ran that place for 6 months plus
with a great bunch of friends back in the day; lost touch with all the
players now but it kinda feels like their ghosts are in there with me
whenever I go past a spot and remember things from those days), and
exploring TK and SSC is great fun, I cleared SSC for the first time
today and completed my T5 set, great! No luck with pet drops but it's
fun anyway, so that's my weekly goal for the moment I think. 

Really need to keep doing LFR for the legendary chain and explore the
place beyond just the first one but eh, I'm just burned out on group
content I think. Must get down to it soon though, since I'd like to
actually attempt to complete the legendary chain before the expansion
ends.

Since nobody seems to know where it leads I am thinking the itemisation 
along the way is the chain rather than specifically leading to something 
singularly wonderful, more of a set of kit.
Probably something at the end but not quite so all powerful in itself.

like sockets , gems and an ilvl 600 back in 5.3 aren't pretty useful 
immediately and with extended use rather than something you may use for a 
week a year down the track?

Well, part 2 completed, not sure what I was worried about lol, mostly
simple except the trash before Megaera - I've never understood why
people think it's a great idea to skip trash, when in a pug. Nor why
they feel the need to insult whoever manages to aggro the leftover
mobs - we're not all perfect, Mr Elitist warlock that never shut up
about it, go with your uber raid guild if you don't want mistakes...
:-P Actually, I didn't ever pull, but I was expecting to, given I'm
not the greatest at 360 degree awareness and I didn't know where to
go! 

Rest of tonight I'll be farming motes to craft the belt which matches
my priest T5 set (can't believe I know the recipe tbh, given it's BoP
and my tailor is only 85, must have dropped when I was farming TK
trash for a transmog item I wanted on that character, lucky!), for
some reason primal water prices are through the roof on the AH right
now (have to laugh, I had a big heap of them which I transmuted to air
a while back, since prices were rock bottom, *then*, sigh), but
between my engineer and some fishing that'll be fast enough :-)

Im busy with restorating my apartment before selling it.  So my 
offduty-days goes with that!  Anyway.  In 3-4 hours there will be 
another reset (Im in EU and the time is 2:25am while I write this).  I 
need around 700 veepees for the 522 waist for my mage.  A hc, weekly hc 
scenario and maybe 2 raids tomorrow + some dailies while I'm queued will 
do a lot.  And if I'm lucky I will also do the weekly shampions-quest on 
Isle of Thunder!  My goal is always to get vp-capped asap.
Thursday and friday is assigned to my apartment.  Sat and sun is work + 
party and then we have mon and tues for my apartment and picking up the 
rest of the vps + rep.
I will still try to master my destro lock.  But I have some difficulties 
with my gnome and worse geared locks still does almost twice as much dps 
as I do in LFRs.  Tonight I've just finished second wing of ToT in LFR 
and another 502 lock totally outdps'ed my 517 lock.  I actually love 
when I'm outdpsed on my lock!  Dunno why so please dont ask. =)
My mage is maxed out in all MoP factions too except Nat Pagle.  So I 
have started looking at the classic factions and maxing him out in those 
one by one by going through them from A to Z.  Argent Crusade was a walk 
in the park and next is Ashtongue Deathsworn.  I've never heard about 
them, but I'm 275/3000 neutral.  I am soooo excited! (not) :)

Meanwhile I will look out for another realm, guild, whatever...

Kvast and twrgadarn - darkmoon faire (EU)

I've not checked, but I did hear that the item you get at the end is
an ilvl 600 cape. I'm on the second round of token collecting, and at
13/20 at the moment. I hope to finish this week, and move on to the
next round of get-crap-from-bosses.

The 5.3 item is the 600 cape, think there'll be an orange *something*
for 5.4, from what I've heard, but no idea what yet. Possibly a weapon
but who knows?

4/20 on the secrets, I'll be way behind the curve getting there,
anyway...

Yea - Good luck with that unless they increased the drop rate on 
secrets...lol

You also have the solo scenario (which they nerfed the crap out of since 
I did it), then take the lance that you get from the scenario, go get a 
Nalak group, and use the lance, kill the additional add that spawns, 
then take the charged lance back to wrathion, where he'll tell you to 
stab Li-Shen (the final boss in ToT), so you have to run the last (part 
4) of the LFR, then go back to wration and THEN you can move onto the 
next round of "get-crap-from-bosses" called "Titan Runestones", which 
you will need to collect 12 of, and are only available from the last 6 
bosses (parts 3 & 4 of LFR)....

...and let me tell you the damn drop rate on those is beyond crap.  You 
are now guaranteed one per week (one will now always drop from the last 
boss - Li Shen) so it could take a max of 12 weeks.  I have 6 in 5 weeks 
now....sucks.  Guildie has 8 in 3-1/2 weeks (pisses me off to no end), 
but it defiantly is not quick unless you have a "in" with Bliz....lol. 
  Oh, and the kicker is this is still all part of 5.2!  I have 6 more 
Titans (max 6 weeks to accumulate), before I even get to the 5.3 series 
of the legendary quest line which is out.  :)

...Can you tell I hate the droprate?  Esp when someone like my guildie 
does the solo scenario 3 weeks ago after it's nerfed (where I did it 
pre-nerf 5-6 weeks ago, and was hard), and is now ahead of me on the 
runestones. It's a little different than those raiders who worked hard 
to clear Wrath heroic raids at level and now anyone can. This is a case 
where it's ongoing/current content...  grrr   :)

Kill the final boss in ToT, then go back in to kill earlier bosses?
I wonder how the lore on that is explained...

NPCs actually live in a reverse timeline. So they see themselves starting 
out being clobbered endlessly in patch 7.7 then grow to being more powerful 
until no character can even enter most of their domains in vanilla , no 
character can beat even a lvl 2 wolf and most of the players have been 
banished.

NPCs have spirit healers as well, and they petition a special group of GMs 
to get their gear restored after it was ripped off.
Thats why some take a long while to reset. Each time they are resurrected 
they grow stonger and mov further back in our timeline. Thats why they seem 
to know our names , they know all about us since we/they just/soon 
killed/kill them/us.
Caverns of Time, Kronos, Green Dream, you used to know this next year.

LMFAO - Too much thought (or herb smoking) went into that....I 
particularly like the thought of the NPC's waiting in line to get their 
gear restored after their carcass was looted.  Then imagine the poor guy 
through his eyes materializing into our timeline like being beamed in 
from Star Trek to gradually notice there's a group of 10 people waiting 
to kill him, just saying "fuuu##$@K.....5 minutes...just 5 f-ing 
minutes...Is that too much to ask?  Screw this - I'm going retro...Maybe 
Pac-Man needs a new mob....""

What happens when they reach level 1?  Are they indestructibly immortal?  :)
