Ding!

At about 1pm UK time on Saturday, Wulf hit lvl 70. As it stands, he was the fourth character in Chaotic Divinity to reach this landmark. Because of my extravagant purchase of a bow from the Auction House, I was unable to afford his flying mount immediately. That said, proceeds from last weekend have left Wulf with 600 of the 900 Gold he needs. I feel confident he'll have his mount in the next few days.

Did a few new instances at the weekend, but the one I want to talk about is Escape from Durnholde Keep, part of the Caverns of Time. In it, the heroes travel back in time to prevent some time-travelling dragons from messing with the escape of Thrall, one-day leader of the Horde.

Essentially, it's a large outdoor zone, mirroring the Hillsbrad Foothills zone perfectly, right down to travelling vendors. In the first part of the quest, you move around the keep, setting explosives in the cells that contain the orcs interred within. This serves as a distraction when you then break into the keep proper to free Thrall. From that point on, it's one long escort quest as you lead the young, impetuous Warchief-to-be through fight after fight with scaresly any time to recover in-between. I normally loathe escort quests, but this was incredible fun, and I ended up running it three times over the weekend.

Of course, at the point in time that the escape took place, the Night Elves hadn't revealed themselves to the rest of the world, so measures were undertook to disguise Wulf's appearance as he entered the zone. I'll go into them in another post, when I have screenshots.
