Episode 6 - The Just Barely Not March March Episode

Welcome to episode:

Odd time in WoW for me, vacation, time away, busy, end of expansion

Back to some basics.  We are in one of my favorite Horde starting zones, Mulgore

What did I accomplish in WoW last month?

•Vacation stuff

•No SoD

•Did rip out the Hearthstone event

•Did my March Trading Post and 1000 tenders

•To do so, started leveling a 17 Tauren Paladin

•Started into the Plunderfest stuff, that gets us to news

News updates

•2.6 – let’s talk about the Plunderverse

•SoD ramps up again April 4

•Nobelgarden - April 1 to 8

•My opinion on holidays - meh

Special Location with description:

You must do the Ahab Wheathoof quest in Bloodhoof Village once in your life to honor a young WoW player who was taken too early by cancer.

Popping in to a tavern or inn for a local drink:

Not any alcohol, but there is cheese!

Location #2:  Thunder Bluff tavern music rest of way out

•Walking around Thunder Bluff - unique capital city

•Had a brief role in BfA - some Nzoth nightmare vision thing?

•Otherwise unused, like so many of them

•Layout is different, bit confusing - 3 lobe, double-ring

•Central spiral to all 3 inner locations, but can walk outside to access all 3

•Then each lobe has a separate mesa called a rise. 

•Some interesting little places to find

Main topic:  Back to what to do during WoW slowdowns

•Take a vacation, literally take time away from the game

•Read WoW novels and books and comics.  Chronicles 1-3, 4 on the way.

•Also, the warcraft website https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/story  Lots of short stories and cinematics. 

•Not up for reading?  Check out some of the many content creators who focus on the history and lore of Azeroth.  One of the more popular is the YouTube channel of Nobbel87. 

•RIP Warcraft Less Traveled (2010 to 2015

•Play Warcraft I, II, and III

•Collect all the grey, basic racial weapon appearances and armor appearances. 

•Get a water mount; the one I recommend is the Subdued Seahorse, available from killing the rare spawn Poseidus in the underwater zone of Vashj'ir.  Others like the Sea Turtle from Northrend fishing.
