Hardmode Reroll: The Story of Kutira (Day 1*)

Name: Kutira
Race: Orc
Class: Warrior
Spec: Fury/Protection
Guild: <Reckless Minority>
Server: Alterac Mountains-US

I wish I had thought of this back at the beginning, so I could have kept track of story of Kutira from start-to-finish, but I'm still relatively low level, so starting this "late" shouldn't be a huge issue.

Completed Questing Areas:
Durotar
Mulgore
Northern Barrens
Eversong Woods
Tirisfal Glades
Azshara (All three completed 'Glutton' achievements, plus 'Joy Ride')
Ghostlands
Silverpine Forest
Hillsbrad Foothills

Completed Dungeons [Weapon Hoarding]:
Ragefire Chasm [Oggleflint's Inspirer, Cursed Felblade, Bazzalan's Blade]
Deadmines [Smite's Reaver, Cookie's Tenderizer]
Wailing Caverns [Stinging Viper, Worn Turtle Shell Shield]
Shadowfang Keep [Baron's Scepter, Commander's Crest, Haunting Blade]
Stormwind Stockades [Cold Iron Pick]
Blackfathom Deeps [-]
Gnomeregan [Hydrocane]
Razorfen Kraul [Thornspike]

My current questing area is Ashenvale. I have rode Brutusk the Kodo until his death, diverted the siege on Splintertree Post, performed genocide on the demons of Demon Fall Canyon; the dreadlords included, and learned just how sneaky I am not while doing anti-night elf espionage and assassinations. My current objectives are to relieve a orc warlock of his head, break the horns off of some dead satyr, and to head all the way across Ashenvale to meet up with the commander of another Horde outpost. But..

I put all of that on hold. Because the Lunar Festival started, and I'm a Holiday Whore, as my previous posts about HOLIDAYS could have probably told you. So I began my holiday routine on my main server and knocked out (4) of my (6) 85s and then came back.. And decided that Kutira needed the same level of dedication to achievements. I mean, damn.. There's free master flying involved in this. Plus, free exp and money. It's win/win/win for me.

Nabbed the Elder in Orgrimmar, then the one in Thunder Bluff, then scooted over to the Eastern Kingdoms and started lodging my complaints against the placement of Elders. Spent ~100 deaths attempting and succeeding to get the Ironforge and Stormwind Elders. Determination is key, and macros. Definitely macros. Pushed on and eventually had the insane idea to go after Uldum's Elders, after finishing Tanaris. I succeeded at getting the Uldum ones, too. As well as exploring the entire zone on a 60% riding ground mount. Without assistance from any level 80+s. Got the help of a warlock buddy [Awakened] and some priestly ladies [Effy and Illuminate] to Warlock summon me into Deepholm to get the Elder at the Temple of Earth, and then the one over at Stonehearth. Rather than have them summon me back to the Temple to leave, I ran. Levitated, mostly. They Life-Gripped me around the mobs and through them, as they escorted me all the way back to the Temple. I "awarded" them 1000 'Kutira Rep' a piece, and then went back to doing Eastern Kingdoms following that success.

Once I had finished off all of Eastern Kingdoms, I took a small break to do a little PvP. I was level 38 by this point; gaining (4) levels from exploring and Elder quests. I garnered up enough Honor to purchase most of the PvP awards from the quartermasters of the Warsong Outriders and the Defilers. After scraping myself off of the floor of many Alliance wins, I finally took the trek into Twilight Highlands to knock those Elders. Despite Twilight Highlands being a higher level than both Deepholm and Uldum, I had an easier time exploring and getting the Elders there than both of those combined. Wish I could fly, as the only way to complete the exploration of Twilight Highlands is to be able to fly up to the Vermillion Redoubt. Or be ported by a Warlock. ;D

As I finished that off, I moved on to Kalimdor Elders, since I was finished with the Eastern Kingdom Elders, as well as the Cataclysm Elders; sans the Elder in Vashj'ir. Which is what I'm currently doing as I'm typing out this blog post. Silithus was a horrible experience, which seemed pretty normal. I'll be putting off the Darnassus, Dolanaar, and the two Elders in Mount Hyjal for the next time, so that I can put lots of time and patience into corpse running. I'll more than likely end up exploring all of Hyjal after getting those Elders as well. It seems to work out pretty well.

All in all.. A pretty good and productive day. I ran Razorfen Kraul and Scarlet Monastery: Armory today as well, not that anything awesome really came out of those. Gained a total of (7) levels. Which I just gained my 7th level as of the end of this post.

Signing off for Journal Entry one, Kutira.
