Running Total

1590/2012 Levels

Levels gained since April’s update: -35 levels

Left to go:  (approximately 422 levels 60/month)

Updates

The month of May ended up negative again, as I am still reorganizing toons for MoP.  Even though Laz and I ground out some serious levels on our Shaman/Mage pair, deleted and moved characters still put me behind for the month.  Much like last month, my leveling time was eaten up mostly in other endeavors.

I am not counting D3 levels here, but if I did that would be 144 more levels in the month of May.  That includes my Level 60 Demon Hunter who has been grinding gold and gear and 14 levels on my Hardcore Monk.

There are still seven months to go, so I am hardly concerned at this point.  Much of my solo time will be going back to time on WoW and my Blog since the initial OMGD3! is out of my system.  Though, I will still be playing my little toons on D3, and working slowly through Inferno with Laz.  We are so close to being able to survive in Act II!

Characters Deleted

Maeyv

• I deleted Maeyv on Elune.  I needed more character space, and in all honesty, I usually use Sifaol as my character model for my Maeyv stories.  Also, I do still have my Maeyv over on Wyrmrest Accord.

Characters Restarted/Changed

Brizaeyl

• I deleted my Level 10 Brizaeyl on Elune, and server transferred my formerly Draenei Priest, Maeyv, from Eonar.  So Brizaeyl on Elune is still a Night Elf and now Level 62.

Rosælyn

• I deleted my Level 54 Druid on Elune.  Then, I race/gender/name changed Skeiron to a Human Hunter named Rosælyn.

Tøggle

• I deleted Tøggle my Level 30 Warrior to restart her on my second account.  This way she is opposite Sir Piotr, and I am hoping to RAF level her with Laz soon.

Breakdown of Updates:

Total Levels Gained: 69 Levels

Total Levels Lost: 104 Levels

Adjusted Levels Earned for April: -35 Levels

Characters (Alphabetical)

Effræti – Leveled DK Effy from 81 to 83, with no BoAs.  DK Effy is Blood, cuz that is how you play a DK.  (Or at least how I do.)

I am still currently leveling DK Effy with Laz’s Shaman, Kazakul.

I am tanking, but Kazakul is still leveling as an Elemental Shaman.  Well shall see if the tank/healer combo reemerges.

Miehiu – Leveled my new Shaman from 23 to 80, with BoAs, Recruit-a-Friend, and guild bonuses.  Miehiu I am leveling as Resto.

I am currently leveling Miehiu with Laz’s Recruit-a-Friend Mage, Xiaochen.  They are leveling super fast with the XP buffs available to them!  The plan is for both of these toons to be Pandaren come MoP.

Miehiu will likely be my main Resto Shaman in MoP.  <gives Effraeti a margarita, some sunglasses, and a good book>

Piotr – Leveled my Human Paladin from 1 to 10, with no BoAs.  Piotr I am leveling as Protection.

Sir Piotr is half of the dynamic duo for my new project How Not to Pally (along with the lovely and pink Tøggle).  I really only leveled him last month to get him high enough to be visible on the Armory, so I could pull him into WoW Model Viewer.  Whether he gets make further past Level 10 will remain to be seen.

In Conclusion

At least one character of each race – check x2

At least two characters of each class – check

All my 2012 characters to at least 10 – Work in Progress

All my story characters to at least 20 – Work in Progress
