I think that title contains what is officially the first “cuss word” on this site EVER. I so didn’t do that on purpose (the abstaining from cursing that is), it just seems to have worked out that way.

Anyhoo, like the title says, I was in a really awesome PUG last night. I’d logged in intending to do some Hellfire Peninsula quests using this CT Mod map that I’d downloaded earlier (I’ll link to that when I figure out where I got it again) and thought maybe I’d do one and then log off. Shortly after I logged in a Gnomish Mage asked if I needed a group, they were going to do a BF run. I said that I’d never gone before and asked if Balance Spec would do, he said it would do fine.

It was my first time through BF (Blood Furnace) and we only wiped a couple of times. I’m half sure at least one of them was my fault, but it could just be that I was nervous and I always blame myself for that kinda stuff when I’m nervous. I did break sheep once that I noticed, but in my defense it was because I was trying to get the agro off the Priest, and I think the Mage’s sheep just had a shorter cast time than whatever I was trying to do. What was I doing? I forget now if I threw a wrath or just ran up and whacked the baddie with my staff. Me so silly.

They were all pretty great about it both times though, mostly tried to think of how to avoid getting wiped on that pull next time through and so forth. Everybody was super polite about asking for Inervates and poison cleanses (the need for which sometimes have to be pointed out to me because when there are a dozen or so effects on a single player, it’s hard to see that they’re poisoned, and I’m less used to grouping than I used to be), and there was relaxed banter over the built-in audio chat through the whole thing.

I was beginning to think that I’d not get to see any of these places for quite a while. I’m the only one in the house subscribed right now, so about all I can do is try to focus on leveling much of the time that I do play. I have a horrible attention span for just doing quests and leveling by myself sometimes. At least I do now that I’ve been playing the WoW for a couple years. I forgot just how much fun it can be when you’re in a group that’s really working. I had a steady group of friends I grouped with on my first server a while back, but they ended up with more time to play and eventually just surpassed me so much in level that we never quite had time to hang anymore. Who wants to slog through quests they’ve already finished with a lowbie when you could be raiding Ahn’Qiraj right?

I suppose now you’re probably wondering if there were any phat loots to be had? Indeed there were, a very nice Druid Kilt dropped off of one of the bosses, my first bit of gear with gem slots. I picked  up some spell damage and spell penetration gems and slapped ‘em on there.

I’d passed on nearly all the rolls leading up to this drop, otherwise I might not have asked to roll need on this one, which is totally silly since I was the ONLY Druid in the group, and this is clearly Druid gear. I think it’s the nicest drop I’ve ever gotten from an instance. It looks spiffy too. ^_^
