My baby warlock finally made it. The challenge was made; my warlock and I rose to the occasion. The bounty was paid (although my husband used it as beer money).
In the end it took me four and a half months to make 36 levels; 12 days 8 hours total played time, much longer than I expected.
After all that fan fare about getting my new flying mount, I took my little level seventy Warlock to Northrend (the land of undead and ice). Turns out that in Northrend you have to pay to learn how to fly in cold weather and that’s not a privilege you get until level 77.
So I will enjoy riding my more attractive mounts for another seven levels.
Nothing says screw you like paying a shit ton of gold for a skill that you don’t get to use. I should have just waited for Cold Weather Flying at level 77.

Free mounts, that was part of the incentive package I was given for leveling my Warlock. (That’s right, leveling to eighty is not reward enough. I tend to lose interest in the monotony. Besides I already have a level eighty Hunter who is impressively distracting.)
The Hawkstriders are incredibly pretty mounts, and one of the main reasons I picked the Blood Elf race. Free and pretty, I had to get as many as I could. So I purchased all the ones I could from the mount vendor. =D
Four slow speed Chocobos (Hawkstrider: black, blue, purple, pink) and three fast speed Chocobos (Swift Hawkstrider: green, purple, pink). Banner shown in that order.
Back in April, I was given incentive to level my baby Warlock to 80. Much progress has been made on my part. Sindel finally made level 70. Its a little slower then I would have liked, three months for 26 levels. Lets just say its light speeds faster then I leveled my hunter.
Level 80 is close, so very close. Where is my $20?!
In a previous post I had mentioned getting my warlock to level sixty by this past weekend. It was an ambitious goal to set, but great motivation to get leveling. Never the less we didn’t quite make it. My warlock made 53.5, which is actually pretty good, but still leaves me quite a ways off from eighty. Go go level sixty this weekend!!
It is possible that the leveling could have gone a bit faster if I hadn’t waited so long to get talents. Talent choice are challenging for me to say the least.
Once my warlock made level fifty my husband was so appalled that I hadn’t spent any talent points that he took matters into his own hands. Knowing very little about warlocks, he did some minor research at Elitist Jerks and found a simple leveling build, then forced me to stop leveling and oversaw the tedious talent selection process with indignant single-mindedness.
The kicker? Well the new patch (3.1) for World of Warcraft just came out today and all the talent points for everyone are being refunded. I am cursed!

Back in the day Warlock pets used to come with a new name every time you summoned them. Recently it was pointed out to me that this changed, meaning the pets now keep their names. The comment was that my warlock was lucky to have gotten a decent name assigned to her Voidwalker Pet.
And so I present to you Grass Moth, my own personal Voidwalker Pokemon!

Taking my previous leveling extravaganza as a sample, its quite obvious that speed is not my forte. My hunter meandered through levels for almost 4 years before I managed to get her to 80.
Since speed is the main factor in leveling up my warlock, I decided to get help – help in the form of a guide. A friend linked me this site:
There is a web-based version, but I thought that the mod (addon) would probably be faster. So yesterday I installed it and the three base mods it calls for.
It’s like leveling on rails. Truly amazing!
I have been called out! Challenged!! My World of Warcraft mettle questioned!
The task? Get my level 44 Warlock to reach level 80, by December.
The reward? $20, plus all mounts in between paid for.
I have been talking about leveling my warlock forever. Currently I play a hunter and though I love the class I find that there is an overabundance of hunters. Plus their utility in groups is rather limited. So I dream of having a warlock to take on raids and be useful.
December shouldn’t be too hard to manage. My goal (totally unlikely) is to get 50 this weekend, and possibly 60 by the next. Getting from 70-80 is going to be the slow part. At least this will give my hunter a chance to get all the dungeon achievements for old world, as I will just have my hunter run all the dungeons for my little warlock. Powerlevel for the win!

Last night, in World of Warcraft, was free gear night for all Warlocks and Priests!! Okay really it was a bug and it got fixed this morning, but before all that happened I got my little level forty Warlock out there and purchased some level seventy PvP gear!!
Filled up one entire bag full of gear.
If she were only level seventy she could have looked like this for one night. =D
