Keeping With The Tankadin: Director's Cut - The PRIMAL Editiion
Fjork — Wed, 07/09/2008 - 08:53
Well, it has been a long time with very little input on my Tankadin Series.
Eventually I intend to move these to book pages, but that will be after some serious revamps in the content, direction, diction, grammar, and narration of my Tankadin blogs.
For now, let's discuss why I decided after this hiatus to create another Tankadin blog. It involves Craftable Items. What can I buy/have crafted that will give me an edge for Raiding at level 70? What materials should I gather on the way to 70? What materials should I just buy, because it's faster to farm Netherweave to sell bandages at 6g a stack? These are questions I frankly would like answers to. On Thunderlord I was promised a pile of mats/crafted items by my co-workers that w0w-quit for AoC right as I hit 70. Didn't quite get what I was going for, ya know?
So now, even with Carno (my brother) promising me alot of things, I need to know what I NEED, how I can get it, and what to get on the way there. I'm halfway feeling that the [Primal Water] might be an item I should just buy from the AH. I'm going to need ALOT of them, but there just isn't a feasible way to AOE grind them. [Primal Life]s can be easily farmed by Pedran at level 63+ because I'm going to have ALL the necessary Bog Lord Tendrils/Glowcaps/etc to get him his [Petrified Lichen Guard] at 63 and put a [Felsteel Shield Spike] in it. Bog Lord's are easy-fun for AOE-grinding and good experience at that level from the Dead Mire. [Primal Fire] and [Primal Earth], these I should have enough of when I finish mining 240 [Adamantite Ore]. Should I mine that much though? Would it be more in my interest to mine 100, AH the ore, and buy crafted items with the gold I make?
Thats where I need advice. I think we should detail the best places to farm primals, ore, etc. Just so we know which options are best. For example, my Shadow Priest can BLAST through farming [Primal Life] from Bog Lords, but I believe I should be farming my [Primal Earth] using my Miner. If I didn't have the SP would it just be more efficient to farm tons of [Primal Earth] and [Primal Fire], AH them all, and buy the Primals I actually need from the AH? Let me know what you think.
Here's the Mats I'll be needing:

What'll it cost me to get
Fjork — Wed, 07/16/2008 - 09:05What'll it cost me to get six Heavy Knothide Leather? I wanna start collecting mats for the Goggles now since they are equippable at 62, and that will be a big step to getting me setup as a tankadin for the Outlands.
I'm nearing enough bog lord tendrils and mushrooms for my [Petrified Lichen Guard] when I hit 62.
On a side-note. They don't require any Badges of Justice. I'll take the time later to repost this indicating that, but b/c of the way the posting is, I have to re-align everything to make a simple edit.
won't cost yah nothing.
Grasen — Wed, 07/16/2008 - 09:27won't cost yah nothing. I;ll mail em this afternoon.
Good idea, but my
Fjork — Wed, 07/09/2008 - 14:12Good idea, but my Engineer/Main is still in Azeroth. That will solve my water problem though. I'll make sure to have the mats/engineering level to get my first headset as soon as I reach outlands on my main.
Thanks! That's the type of input I was looking for, as I haven't had to farm these things yet other than Life.
Hit me up for any leather
Grasen — Wed, 07/16/2008 - 08:44Hit me up for any leather you need.
farm the ore its easy enough
Sorreah — Wed, 07/09/2008 - 13:37farm the ore its easy enough to famr up adamantite i just did 65 ore today in a matter of 40 minutes and i doing so i picked up 4 earths 1 fire and 5 shadows
you have the engineering my best advice to you is make the mote extractor now and even if you just have the cheap goggles for now it is worth it when farming
Once you have the extractor it will put every other method of farming shadows waters or airs to shame
