Hellscream: Daajhnd and Dreazz

For those times when I only have a few minutes to play (aka, 1/2 hour or so), I just began leveling two new characters up on Hellscream. They should only take about 2 years while I’m still busy leveling my other 6 active characters on Windrunner (and that's not counting transferring over and playing Horde).

Welcoming, Daajhnd and Dreazz

Mounts at Level 30

FYI if you didn’t already know, with the 2.4.3 patch released on July 15th, apprentice training for mounts is now available at level 30. It’s very weird watching a level 30+ running around on a mount. And they did this when my 7th character (Dehrange) was at 39. Luckily, Deajhd is a 23 and Dhistens is a 24.

Dehrange Hits 40

Entry Date	Level	Journal Entry
2008-07-02	26	Ding 26 in Ashenvale. Questing in Forst Song. Reminder: Get leatherworking up for Hillman's Cloak.
2008-07-07	33	Ding 27-32 throughout Ashenvale/Forest Song. Although it says I should, questing in Desolace is more of a mid-30s to 40 level area. Headed to Darkshire for a few quests there (ding 33), then will try Shimmering Flats. Am 'trying' to stay in Kalimdor.
2008-07-10	34	Ding 34 in Shimmering Flats. Should make 35 and even perhaps 36 there too. That should get me back into Desolace, and perhaps even into Dustwallow Marsh. I should also have enough to get Leatherworking over 200, but will probably wait until level 36.
2008-07-14	38	Ding up to 38 in Shimmering Flats, Desolace, then Stranglethorn Vale. 35-40 is a bit challenging in Kalimdor, so decided to just hit 40 (at least) in Stranglethorn Vale. Will head back to Dustwallow Marsh, then probably Feralas, after questing in SV.
2008-07-15	39	Ding 39 in Stranglethorn Vale. Only one or two more quests from level 40, then can move on to Deajhd. Will consider abandoning SV quests at 40 in lieu of migrating back to Kalimdor. SV is a great place to level 35-40 though.
2008-07-17	40	Ding 40 in Stranglethorn Vale. Got Elekk mount and ability to wear mail. Still to consider abandoning SV quests in lieu of migrating back to Kalimdor.

Professions

Dhistens is going to drop leatherworking in favor of skinning. True, Dehstni and Dehrange are both already skinners, but here's the way I see it.

So many of the mobs killed throughout the game can be skinned. Mining is "here and there" to which most times you have to go a tad out of your way when you spot a mine. As is the same with herbalism. With skinning, you're right there to gather the mats.

Doujhe can go and get just about any minerals needed for whatever. He's got his mount and can get there and make rounds quick. The same goes for Daajhn and herbalism. If I need any of these, I can go farm them with intent. Skinning is more of a "while I'm there" type gathering profession.

So if the other professions are aptly being taken care of, why not just gather something quick "while I'm there"? Dhistens will keep tailoring, as that will come in handy, but Dehrange will stay to fill the leatherworking craft which Dhistens will be dropping in order to pick up skinning.
