After completing some daily quests this morning and turning in Netherwing Eggs, I reached friendly status with the Netherwing earlier today. That opened up even more quests and I'm now over 2/3rds of the way towards honored.

What a great day it's been! When I made it back to my Scryer bank mailbox, the lovely Vetarra had sent me 500g. With that, I had enough to travel to Wildhammer Stronghold and train in the artisan skill of riding. I then booked it over to Blackwind Landing and purchased a very beautiful Silver Riding Nether Ray. It is downright ridiculous how fast this mount moves. I was able to fly from Skettis to Coilfang Reservoir faster than I could have ridden a gryphon.
((Looking at that last screenshot there, it says I earned 73g per hour over the last week - not too shabby. However, a lot of that was earned from a banking alt, which, now that I think about it isn't a big deal since I earned all those runecloth stacks and winterfall firewater on Tiddlywinks. The only thing that really skews that number is the 500g lump sum influx I received from Vetarra. But still, I made upwards of 60g an hour over the last week. And yes, I was saving money, but I wasn't out grinding items that would sell high. I was out grinding reputation and doing dailies. That's about it.

Yesterday, I managed to sell over 20 stacks of Runecloth that I had picked up while grinding Timbermaw and Cenarion Circle reputation. I also sold my Stockade Pauldrons cheaply (50g) and I'm now within 500g of my epic flying mount. So when I saw the guild banker online, I asked her what the bank policy was on loans. Unfortunately, our guild bank does not make loans, as all gold deposited is currently earmarked for new tabs. With my good friend Dylana currently working on saving for his epic flight form (she will probably be learning it this weekend), she was unavailable to lend me the money. However, the queen herself, Eirama stepped in and offered to foot the bill.

Well, late last night, I did it! Exalted with the Cenarion Circle. And what do I get for all my hard work and effort? Nothing. Zip. Zero. Zilch.

I don't know why people are selling them so cheap, but I got a Jingling Bell for my very own reindeer for just 3g and a Snowman Kit for only 2g! I've stocked up on the snowballs and plan on having a reindeer, snowman, or green helper out whenever I can!

While farming both Timbermaw and Cenarion Circle rep these past few days, I've come across my fair share of cards, world drops, and other random greens. But more than anything, I've come across runecloth, and lots of it. So yesterday I put up 25 stacks on the auction house, severely undercutting everyone and, lo and behold, when I checked my mailbox later, every stack sold. Could I have made a little more money by listing them at a higher rate? Probably. I probably could have even made more Red Winter Clothes from them as I've sold about 10 sets for about 8g each over the past 10 days. But I wanted to make some quick money and that was the easiest way. Each stack sold for about 2.5g and I netted a cool 63g or so. Not too bad when all I've had to do is stop by a town every so often and mail the runecloth to a friendly Dranei Shaman who puts them on auction for me.
While these ramblings focus on my life as a gnome mage, stop on by Resto4Life.com for some good discourse on my druid friends. A clean, easy to read layout and insightful articles make this journal a must-visit!

It's a shame that Winter's Veil has to come to an end, but I stocked up on snowballs in anticipation of receiving a reindeer, but instead received a Red Helper Box. It's a cute little gnome dressed in a Holiday Outfit and he matches me perfectly - except I don't have a red hat. So I went out and bought a Green Helper Box and today my Green Helper has been following me around. I also received a Mechanical Greench who will fight for me when summoned. On top of all of that, Greatfather Winter also had a Clockwork Rocket Bot for me (not listed on WowHead yet).

Man, what a crazy day while grinding. First, this morning I find the Two of Elementals. Then, while in Stratholme, I found some Stockade Pauldrons. And now, while farming Timbermaw rep, I find the Three of Elementals and the Viking Warhammer which Stogen can use in our guild. A long, interesting day.

Today I ventured into Stratholme with Eirama and a couple of our younger members. I was able to complete the Active Agent quest which rewarded me with a nice new Rune of the Dawn. On top of that though, I also acquired a good number of scourgestones, and after turning everything in, including the quests, I was up over 3,400 reputation. I am now at 8,000 out of 21,000 rep. So close to exalted.
