Shakri

An homage to my first ever WoW character from 2006, whom I think is lost forever. :(

Having some trouble killing the sea giant in the cave of Suramar, so hopefully I can get that done at some point. Anyone need a Druid?

Kirin Tor Offensive: done!

More Saddles!

All righty, so after 80,000 gold for 4 Orbs of Mystery, lots of Ghost Iron farming to transmute to Trillium to then transmute to Living Steel, plus many days of doing said activities, I finally have all 4 of the Jewelcrafted panthers, ending on the Jade Panther.

The fun part? I get to do it all again so I can have the Onyx Panther, so you know. . . fun times.

BUT! I got the achievement for 150 mounts useable on one character, so that's also a plus!

Mount Progress

Just one more to go!

Happy Earth Day!

Chuari

So... I made Chuari around the time my husband decided, "Hey! We should make one of each class!" because this was around the time when changing specs was not a thing. There was dual-spec, but not, "Here, switch whenever you want,"

[Ruby Panther]

Up to 60,000g spent on these things XD

Just got the jade one to go - & then 4 more for the onyx one ><

[Frosty Flying Carpet]

1 Moonshroud
1 Ebonweave
1 Spellweave
4 Frozen Orbs

One of the easiest mounts I've ever crafted.

Unlike *glares* leatherworking. . .

[Sapphire Panther]

1 of 2 again, because I got impatient and just wanted the mounts. This way I can take my time and recover all this gold they're costing me. . .

Up to 40,000 gold.

[Sunstone Panther]

1 of 2 because of course the [Jeweled Onyx Panther] needs all four jeweled panthers to make it. . .

20,000 gold for Orb of Mystery

Tabletop Tuesday

Okay so remember the {Husband Appreciation Post}from Friday?

I’m hoping we can sit down for a proper Session Zero soon; I’ve already made a list of questions and things to go over, and I hope everyone is comfortable enough that they can ask me anything they like or raise any concerns that they may have.

If everything goes well I’m hoping to be DM to my husband and two other friends. We’ll probably be running the campaign that I wrote just because it’s something I already have prepared and I can tweak it just enough to make it different and still enjoyable for my husband at least, who’s already played through it… at least a little bit. Definitely planning on throwing in some new things just to keep him on his toes, lol. I do not appreciate nor do I tolerate metagaming.

Current Session Zero checklist:

Session Zero date:__/__/____

# of Players:        

Expected session length:

When can everyone get together?

Where to have sessions?

How to handle snacks?

     Bring your own or rotate?

Topics to avoid/turnoffs?

Preferred play style?

     Open world like Skyrim?

     Dungeon crawler like Diablo 3?

     Politics-driven like Dragon Age Inquisition?

     Mixture of all of the above?

[Magnificent Flying Carpet]

12 Bolts of Imbued Frostweave Cloth

4 Monarch Topaz

4 Red dye

2 Yellow dye

4 Iceweb Spider Silk

.

.

.

SO MUCH FARMING for the frostweave and topazes

Magnificent Flying Carpet

But I finally got it.

[Great Northern Elderhorn]

@Blizzard. . . I absolutely despise this quest. I waited until I got flight to do it and even then it was hard. Please be nicer to leatherworkers?

PS: Also let us sell the mounts we make? Thanks!

#MountMonday!

Saisei

I made a Warlock on a whim sometime after I made Chessur, and while I like the class, it's really hard for me to solo certain content. >< So... Warlock looking for group? lol

Epic Ring

Champion of Darnassus

Swift Moonsaber

Huzzah! I am finally the Champion of Darnassus!

Husband Appreciation Post

Can I just take a minute to say, "Thank you," to my husband? He went to some of our friends and asked them if they would like to come over for a D&D session at our place some time. He knows how much it means to me to have people over and socialize, so I'm very thankful to him for going out of his way to do that for me.

So thank you, Sweetheart, it means a lot to me.

Hooray!

[Fabulous]

Chessur

My first ever WoW character that I've kept past a free trial. Started in 2011, I've been off & on for about 7 years, but this is by far my favorite character who actually started as a Beast Master Hunter and then somewhere around level 60 I changed to Marksman. :)

[Reins of the Black Primal Raptor]

Was randomly killing things on Isle of Giants in Pandaria when I got an egg. Looked it up and found that it hatches a mount so... woohoo! Two more to go! 

Nightfallen Rep

6,688 to go!

Blingtron 6000 drop!

OMG

Spring is here! (?)

Cherry blossom festival in DC! 🌸

Took a trip to DC yesterday and, while maybe not my first choice, we did manage to see some cherry blossoms during the festival despite all the people.

The reason I say it wasn't my first choice is because I don't usually do big cities or long trips due to personal issues. 😖

re: Update! 3/26/18

Schedule? Nope, sorry, can't do it. I really tried, guys.

Welcome!

Hello there! I’m Morwyn, the admin of Midnight Grind. I’m a homemaker with a passion for games and sometimes a little too much free time.

On October 20th, 2016, I started up Midnight Grind over on Blogspot, just a little blog to catalog my gaming experiences, achievements, and trinkets.

On the other hand, my husband has little time to himself and thus can’t keep up with some of the games we play together, like Diablo 3 or World of Warcraft to name a couple. So I decided, as a surprise/gift, that I’d play on his account to try and earn him some equipment/achievements/whatever. ^^

It may not be a lot, but I know he’ll be happy when he sees all the nifty things he has now. I know it’s mostly Diablo 3, but World of Warcraft is a little more difficult seeing as how he doesn’t have an active subscription at the moment, haha.

So I guess that makes this a Diablo 3 farming/grinding blog? But wait! We also play Pathfinder together with two other people and my best friend GMs for us. I do my best to catalog our shenanigans – which, believe me, is difficult – and it’s rather slow going right now, but I’m sure it’ll pick up soon once we all get comfortable with each other. ^^

Think you’ve seen me online elsewhere but can’t remember where? Here are my social links:

If there’s anything you’d like to ask me, my Tumblr asks are always open or you’re more than welcome to email me at Midnight.Grind@aim.com.

Thank you so very much, and I hope to talk to you soon!
