Brewfest was much more entertaining with the hourly invasions, but it's still entertaining. I will have enough tickets to get a ram, although I'm not sure I want one. I also added several items to my collection of alcohol-related trinkets and quest rewards, which I count as a win. My Blood Elf alt got a spiffy hat - even better!
I have not had a successful instance run since I posted last, although I've had a number of unsuccessful ones. (First boss in Shadow Labs; wiped three times, gave up. Different group beat him, then the tank bailed. We found another tank, reset because he asked us to, beat him again, then... the tank bailed. Asshole.) (Oh, and if the group wipes three times in the first four pulls in Steamvaults? GIVE UP.)
I have had any number of successful elite quest runs, though, so I can't complain too much - gotten more gear out of that than the last ten instances. I'm now entirely wearing blues except one ring, one trinket, and my bracers, plus I upgraded a couple of my existing blues. I also have tons of money and am revered with the Kurenai. So, not actually complaining all that much.
I did a bit of grinding since the patch and hit Revered with Argent Dawn, and finally turned in all the stuff I'd been hoarding. Other than all the extra bankspace, I got about a fifth of what I'll need to hit exalted. I'm going to wait to run Scholo and finish those quests and Strat for the last quest or two there before I do any more grinding. It's not a horrific rate - about 1k an hour - but it's not awesome either, and I have other things to do.
I really, really like Nagrand. Some site (Wowwiki, maybe?) compared it to Westfall or the Barrens - I completely disagree. It's gorgeous and peaceful without feeling sere and barren. The quests aren't terribly interesting, and the amount of grinding that'd be required to hit Exalted with the Kurenai makes my toes curl, but I spent a solid weekend there are really enjoyed it. It's a pleasant change from the otherwise dark and grim zones in Outland.
Other than the last three elite quests in Nagrand (I hate you, Hemet Nesingwary!) my plan is to move on to the Blade's Edge Mountains, where I will certainly hit Revered with Cenarion Expedition and open up my first set of heroics. I'll also keep attempting the Auchenai instances, Steamvaults, and Shattered Halls, as opportunities arise. Chipping away at the Azerothian instances is a perpetual task, as well. I also plan to spend some time flying around Outland as soon as I pick up another couple hundred gold. Exploration is really my thing, so I'm looking forward to that more than anything.
