60 and Hellfire Ramparts

Back from vacation number two and ready to begin the Outlands adventure. Ok, so maybe not jumping to do it since the leveling bug still hasn’t returned. I did decide that I should try and get a couple runs of Hellfire Ramparts in to get some quick gear upgrades before actually starting to do some of the quests. Plus they will give me a little bit of an edge in the 60 bracket of Alterac Valley while I can still do it.

So I decided to Pick Up Group (PUG) Ramparts and found a decent one right off the bat. We wiped a couple times here and there and the Warrior had never tanked or been in the instance before, but we prevailed and I walked out with the Hellreaver. Not a Hunter weapon per se, but an upgrade nonetheless over my Ice Barbed Spear. The dps necklace dropped off of Omar the Unscarred but unfortunately the tank won the roll. Oh well.

While waiting for another group to gather I got a couple games of Alterac Valley in and of course won them all but the 30 minute queue times are beginning to get to me however I keep hearing that Alliance really stink and lose most games in the 70 bracket.

In the second Ramparts PUG the good Hunter gloves dropped off of Omar the Unscarred but a Shaman won the roll. Afterwards he said he didn’t even need them, damn. I ended up getting a leather Bracer off of the last boss with two red sockets, it’ll do. I made sure to say I needed it.

Then it was just a matter of doing a couple of the early Honor Hold quests to get to Friendly with them and a couple more pieces of good gear.
