Cata-complete. What am I going to do now?

I had another bout of luck yesterday and today.
When doing ahah... very early Therazane quests, I came across Jadefang.

Image

Image

Image

I named him Alderamin, which is Alpha Cephei, the brightest star in Cepheus.

As you can see, I went on to camp Terrorpene after finishing the dailies.
And lo and behold!

Image

Image

I almost missed him, too!

Image

His name is Etamin, Gamma Draconis, of the Draco constellation.

And today, while doing daily in Uldum, I came across a blue Madexx!

Image

Image

I wasn;t even actively looking for him, just passing over on my way to get the quest! A 100% pure luck!

Image

His name is, of course, Antares, the brightest star of Scorpius, and one of the brightest stars on our night sky. I couldn't imagine a name more fitting.

Now that I caught all the current Cata rares, I have no idea what am I supposed to do with my time. I think I'll roll another hunter. :o
Then, there's still the pranoia. That teeny nagging voice in my head saying
You're so lucky, you're gonna die of a giant invisible fat tumor...

Congrats, congrats, and EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBLUEMADEXX!!!!!!! :D (If I ever do get my hands on him, I'll name her Cassiopeia. The skin reminds me of a beautiful summer night sky in Scandinavia. :))

As to your question... well, it obviously depends what you enjoy in the game, but I have to play extremely casually at the moment and I do so by leveling professions, running a dungeon here or there, leveling alts, and goofing off with guildies. :) There's lots to do!





And totally unrelated; I love you for getting "lo and behold" right. <3

Thank you! Cassiopeia is a very good name, but I can't call any of my pets that, because one of my guildies is called that. :o

I might need to focus more on my main, the Mage. I probably should finish up the Twilight Highlands quests on her. Gah, I hate questing. Or maybe I'll level my Druid? She's 82 only by farming lol.

Thank you! <3 I rage when I see a "low" in this expression, you're not alone! <3

Bah! You can't let her monopolize the name!! It's too good not to be shared!! ;) Your name choice is really good too though, I love that name.

I don't particularly hate questing, but on clothies it's a pain. I've kinda stalled on my priest (though mostly due to having extremely limited play time now) but I still need to finish Hyjal, Uldum (heck, I need to unlock Uldum) and TH on her. Vashj'ir can screw itself, I'm not doing that again. :?

I'm leveling my druid and shammy (both are 81 now!) through dungeons and farming. Eventually I'll have to quest enough on them to get tabards, but eh. It'll come. That's why they're alts, no? ;)

I'm completely in love with my lowbie worglock. And my goblin hunter, come to think of it. And my worgen warrior. Heh. I've got altitis to the bone, I don't think I'll ever be bored in WoW. :lol:

Anyway! If you're not like me, I'd recommend working on your main and getting those reps and quest chain end rewards. It's so satisfying to be able to pull out your well geared main and squash whatever was giving your alt trouble, isn't it? (Oh dang, the altitis reared its head again, damnit!)

What are you going to do now?
Well, now you go to Disney World, duh!
Or get a lobotomy, like Siliverin.

Nice tames, and great names! You really do have a knack for naming your pets, you know.

Oh wow, blue madexx is far prettier than I thought, the photo on Petopia didn't appeal to me so much, but this one, well, he looks lovely.
I was aiming for red, but now the blue seems so pretty.

I just don't want to come across as a stalker :P She's kind of the Momma Bear of my guild, so if I'll ever tame a bear, I might call her Cassiopeia. :)

God, no more Vashj'ir. >.< Hyjal is not much better, either, but I might have bad memories. I did full Hyjal on my mage on the very first day of Cata. It was horrible! It took me about 2 hours to finish that quest with flying on a dragon killing mobs, because the WHOLE SERVER was doing it too. >.< But Vashj'ir? Tedious as hell. Well, luckily, my druid is past those two zones, so Uldum time. Uldum is fine. :) One big questline, really, nice rewards and loads of Therazane rep.

I'm an altitis victim as well. But no worgen, please! >.< when I heard those awful fake accents, I lost all love I might ever had for that race. I did roll a worgen hunter, I'm dying to check out the post-shattering quests everywhere but ahah... So undecided what to do! But druid first, I like healing as a druid. I unlocked Vash'jir, Hyjal and Uldum for the sake of farming on her so far, but no tabards yet. :/

I suppose my main is as well geared as she could be atm, only need last rep to get her an epic neck, and wait for alchemist stone with int to come out. Everything else I can only get from raiding...

Yup, did some cleaning in my stables for it already! No 7 cats anymore. only 3 :(

Lobotomy, I think. It was mind-numbing at times haha!
Thank you, about the names. I was struggling for a theme for a long time. I'm happy I could put my astronomy passion into it.

Actually, I was aming for ANY Madexx, but blue was definitely my favourite! I was beyond lucky to get the one I wanted most! :o

I just got the red Madexx, so I'm happy for now. But if I do see the blue and none of my blue aiming friends are around....I will tame.

Blue is one of my favorite colours (Alright, Blue, Burgundy and Forest Green....ok...and yes, my girly colour is purple. NOT PINK! But purple).
I like the vibrancy of the colours there....aaah time for bed so I may wake up early to check tomorrow's colours

How much room do you have for alts? Start several hunter alts with the plan of having 1 hunter with every wolf skin, and 1 hunter with every bug skin, and 1 hunter with every cat skin... etc... see where I'm going with this? Or start a toon from each race and play through all the new starting areas. In stead of leveling my 80 hutner, I'm leveling a troll druid and a worgen druid right now. Then I'll move on to a goblin to experience that. Personally, I decided to wait to level my 80s to 85 and take the time to level new toons from 1 to experience all the new quests and changes to WoW.
