My mage finally made it to 80 this weekend. But I feel a little sorry for her. Because after spending all this time and energy leveling, I am a bit burnt out on what comes next. You see, she’s 80 number four for me. And at this point, I am more than a little tired of the gear-up-the-alt grind, to be frank. So she is going to have to suffice for now with the entry-level gear kit I assembled for her. Everything she’s wearing I was able to craft or purchase cheaply on the AH, with the exception of the trinkets, which were courtesy of our Brewfest boss farming.
Crafted
- Hat of Wintry Doom
- Ebonweave Robe
- Frostmoon Pants
- Aurora Slippers
- Spellweave Gloves
- Ring of Northern Tears
- Titansteel Spellblade
- Iron-bound Tome
Cheap AH Purchase/Lucky Drop
- Dragon Prow Amulet
- Mantle of the Extensive Mind
-
- Wraps of the Astral Traveler (bought with badges for which my main had no other use)
- Twisted Puzzle Ring
- Mithril Pocketwatch
- Ancient Pickled Egg
- Reanimator’s Cloak
- Gwyneth’s Runed Dragonwand
She still needs level 80 rings, but it’s not a bad start. I won’t be embarrassed to bring her on headless horseman farm runs, and guild heroics. Which is good since realistically, given my work schedule + our raid schedule + having another alt ahead of her for gearing out, this is as good as it is going to get for a while.
I assembled the gear over the course of about a month, with the most expensive item being the Spellblade (tho I mined all the ore and used my + guildies’ titansteel cooldowns), and only bought the Sash of Jordan because it was up in the AH for under 150g. That was too good a price to pass up. The shoulders were a lucky drop in Naxx some time ago which I held on to as incentive to get her to level cap.
Well done Anexxia. Enjoy your mage.
If you need to run heroics I’m always game, I need to run them to gear my new pally.
I will definitely take you up on that.
