Glory of the Peddlefeet!

Happy valentines to all you lovers out there, too bad the only thing seeing attention from me this year 'round is the messy kitchen which could do with a good clean! Anyways, with that out the way, time for me to introduce the newest pet and mount to the ever gaining collection that is 'Zuk's collection of Pet and Mounts'! Great name ey? Got a nice feel to it ;)
Yup, finally I have managed to get Glory of the Hero done on Zukiji! The last achievement needed was Watch him Die, and as always, Daudinn produced some epic display thus allowing me to obtain this shinyy mount! Compared to the first time when we did this, back on Luxray, ages ago, we didn't have the option of 'Dungeon Finder' and whatnot, so we pugged 2 people, a healer and a dps who were both like 'lulwtfuxxwedoingguys?' Thankfully, if it wasn't for the Shammy's heroism, we wouldn't have got it done, as both healer and dps died, with only me and Eetio on the main boss and Daudinn making it out of the instance like a stealthy Paladin (how that works, don't ask me, Daudinn's the one with the skills ;)). But yeh, we got it done and voila! :D

Thankfully due to people's QQ over low drop rates, and my personal QQ over getting Peddlefeet last year on my bloody Deathknight and not on Zukiji, Blizzard have allowed us to obtain this rather dumb pet through the means of a vendor, so I salute you Blizzard for ensuring I get that next pet! But... In doing this, they have introduced another pet and another mount... Both which drop off the new seasonal boss, and both which I am (as of present) deeming unlootable via Zuk. As much as I would love to get the mount for Zukiji, not only to get 1 step closer to 100 mounts, but because of it's sheer rarety, I can only wish to just see it drop as with the Headless Horseman mount. People who state 'omg I NEED this mount so badly!' in my eyes don't actually deserve it unless they have a very viable reason, I'm just sayin'! Congratulations to everyone who has obtained it though, and to those people who have less that around 25 mounts and have obtained it, then I'll keep them words to myself... Now, on the first run on my druid, I managed to obtain the pet, which is ok to a certain extent. Firstly, I actually play Luxray as I don't, or try not to with Verex. Secondly, I have began to collect pets on Luxray when most of the ones on Zukiji became fairly hard to get. But lastly, it isn't Zukiji, so I need to see and win a roll on it again, which pretty much sucks. This ain't all too bad though with a consistent group of Me, Eetio, Daudinn and Skellibjalla, all going for it together each day. We should in theory, get everything we need/want unless we pug and they ninja it off us... But yeh, so far it's been fun and for the next 2 weeks, it shall hopefully stay the same :D

3 Mounts to Go! :D

Glory of the Hero


Tonight has seen Luxray, my Druid, getting more than 1 step closer to his first Proto Drake! Mainly thanks to Eetio, Enoronan, Skellibjalla and Stratocaster (Who's paladin I can't name due to not being able to type his name out xD) who stuck together for a good 3 hours solid of Heroic Achievement Grinding. Each one with it's own story, and each one unmissed, you guys rock! I'd also like to point out that Skellibjalla has got 112 companion pets in game, which, to my knowledge is the most amount on Agamaggan, so extra gratz to her :D !

The most notable achievement gained in my eyes has to be 'Watch Him Die'. My god. For this achievement, we had Strat's Paladin tanking the adds, or the watchers out the boss room towards the entrance while Eetio tanks the main boss, Eno and Skelli DPS it down, and I keep the group up as normal. Sounds simple right? Well infact, it was quite the opposite. The actual fight was very short due to DPS nuking it down as hard as possible, but the beginning, and the sustain that Strat's Pally managed to pull off was incredible! I actually do not know how he managed to stay alive for that amount of time without a decent heal, but he managed to do it, thus, buying us enough time to down the boss. Despite the achievement is called 'Watch Him Die', the Watchers didn't really 'Watch' him die, being that they were actually headed out of the instance! Whatever the case, we got it done, and I really cannot see me doing that one again, like, ever... It's one achievement I'd gladly pass on Zukiji, despite being a bit of an Achievement Whore on him ;)

All of these achievements tonight started mainly because Eetio wanted to do the daily heroic, and being that I'm his brother and tend to help him out in situations like this, I naturally agreed and so off we went to Gun'Drak. The main achievement we aimed to get was 'Less-rabi' which consists of killing the associated boss without him transforming into his Mammoth form, thus failing the achievement and increasing his damage. It all ended up with us getting 'Share the Love', another very annoying achievement to get, but one less for us to worry about!

Anyways, below is a look on my Progress on Glory of the Hero achievement! Still got a few more to go now, but it surely is looking very promising, and soon, my Druid will be packing a Red Proto Drake!
