I am blogging from the hospital. The wife and I will be in the hospital until Tuesday. Baby was born at 2:53 am on July 1, 2012. He is 7 lbs 12 oz and almost 21 inches long.
This is the card my brother and family wrote to me:

So you are level 85, maxed out your toon’s professions, your toon is almost in all 397 ilevel epics, and it’s towards the end of the expansion… Now you are so bored. You even thought about going to play one of those other lesser MMOs but found out there’s no good MMOs for Macs. Back on your toon, you are sitting in Stormwind, holding your map out, checking your mail box for rares, and there’s only blues and greens, you got from doing solo Kara runs, which you were trying to sell on the AH. Look no further. Gun has something for you to do.
Burgy Blackheart’s Handsome Hat - I look for Burgy on my druid while I swim around for Poseidus who drops Reins of Posiedus. The hat turns you into a gnome pirate, makes you semi-transparent, and when you mount everything is bigger… I mean the mounts are bigger… wait, let me try again… when you are on top the mounts get bigger. Ugh! Never-mind you get the idea.
Bone Fishing Pole - The Bag of Fishing Treasures, a reward from the Dalaran fishing daily, or Bag of Shiny Things, reward from the Stormwind or Ironforge fishing Daily, drop the fishing pole. You have 2 chances a day to get the pole. The bags also have a chance to drop Jeweled Fishing Pole, Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat, and Strand Crawler.
Sea Turtle – Obtain this rare turtle fishing from fishing pools in Northend or Cataclysm zones. It might take some luck, some RNG, some praying to the Blizzard Gods (aka The Lost Vikings), or stepping in Worgen poo. Oh yeah I went there. You all know that the Lost Vikings 2 was the best game Blizzard ever made before Warcraft.
Salty the title – This will take some work and will require you to win either fishing tournament, do some random fishing everywhere, fish up some rare catches, and do fishing dailies once in a while. I recommend trying to win Saturday’s tournament. Sunday’s is kinda hard when the other faction comes up to you and ganks you.
If you obtain all of these treasures and hopefully more you can end up looking like this:
A Bone Fishing Pole wielding pirate gnome who is Salty because he is dead on a Sea Turtle.

While leveling fishing on my druid and fishing for feast mats for our guild run(which we didn’t get to go on due to lack of people online), I came across the famous Mysterious Camel Figurine, figured it was going to turn in to dust. It didn’t. Instead it ported me to somewhere in the middle of no where.
There Dormus was standing in all his camel-hoarding glory with a golden dragon around his portrait. I feral charged in and attacked him with heavy paws. He dropped the mount Reins of the Grey Riding Camel, got the Feat of Strength Scourer of the Eternal Sands, and the title “the Camel-Hoarder.”
This Druid is officially luckier than Guntitan.

After doing Firelands on Guntitan, I decided to try for some mounts. For whatever reason I go on my druid. I prowl past the adds in Sethekk Halls, kill the first boss, reach Anzu, kill it, then the Raven Lord drops. In disbelief, I head to Magister’s Terrace, prowl past the adds, kill the 3 bosses, and reach Kael’thas Sunstrider, kill him, and the Swift White Hawkstider drops. Within minutes of each other I got 2 rare mounts.
I still can’t believe it. The junk thing is when I tried to go on Guntitan I ended up being saved to too many instances.

After a long year wait and countless Direbrew kills the damn Kodo is mine! I managed to get the Great Brewfest Kodo on Guntitan.
I feel relieved that my hunt is over for the Kodo, but the hunt is never over my friends. Next month during Halllow’s End the Headless Horseman will return to Azeroth to haunt us. The Headless Horseman’s Mount is next!

Zone (Level range)
Important Quest Chains
Gilneas City (1-5)
You are very limited and can’t leave the zone until you finish all the quests in the zone. Just grab the leather pieces with Agility and Stamina if you are leveling feral.
Gilneas (1-12)
Finish off the zone with The Battle for Gilneas City and pick up Mace of the Blood Price.
Darkshore (10-20)
Make sure you do Disturbing Connections and grab Silver Embossed Boots. Then do The Battle for Darkshore and grab Bracers of the Ancient Grove.
Duskwood (20-25)
I still have to make my way to Duskwood. Why not Ashemvale? It’s now a Horde invested wasteland that’s why! On a serious note, for alliance there isn’t enough quests there with good enough rewards.
This should get you started. If you get lost just look at the bulletin boards in any main city, and it can put you on a quest to get you to your next zone.
Why druid? Feral Druids, rogues, and baby hunters (up to level 40) compete for the same gear in low level dungeons. Hunters will want leather gear up to level 40 and will follow the same questing path until then. I figured why not? I am having fun leveling my baby worgen feral druid kitty so much that I had to blog about it. Keep in mind that Hunters can use the same heirlooms up to level 40.
You could use some of these pieces for you hunter like the head, shoulders and chest until level 40. Then use the cape all the way until 85.

I tamed Madexx. He is one of the hardest pets to find and my last Cataclysm pet. The stupid hyena got stuck in my trap instead of the scorpion. I tamed it Friday morning. In the screen shot you can see that I have both _NPCscan and SilverDragon addons.
Good night everyone!

Today’s topic: Me, Ironweaver your new drunken author of drunkendwarf.net
Why: Becuase if I did not introduce myself the whole hunter community would go crazy and be like wtf zomg who dis nub ftl gun?
My name is Ironweaver and I’m a very close friend to our drunken hero and beloved dwarf, Guntitan. I have my very own YouTube channel (which I shall be getting up again very soon) and had very own blog… BUT! My new home is here! You will find there are many similarities between me and Gun. For one we are short, for two we love beer, for three we love our dwarf ladies like we like our beer… stout and bitter. Last but not least we like hunter stuff!
SHOUT OUTS: This shout out goes to Guntitan. Thank you very much for letting me become a part of the amazing people here are drunkendwarf.net. I will try to keep the tradition alive and the ale stout! For Kahz’modan!

That’s right Karoma ate Skoll. I was on my way to CoC(Crucible of Carnage), which btw gives good experience points for pets, to help my guildies when… I found Karoma. What karma?
_NPCscan and Silverdragon went off and I dismounted. That’s when Karoma one shot Skoll. I couldn’t believe it. I thought this must be sign. Karoma wants me to tame him and be my new spirit beast and DPS pet. He was red and aggressive to me on my Beast Tracking and crazy huge compared to Skoll. Before I could tame him I had to back off a little, Feign Death, Revive Pet, Dismiss Pet, then drop the Freezing Trap, and cast Tame Pet. I was epic fast.
Then I specced him like so…

Karoma Spec (DPS, PVE)
The spec allows your pet to get to next add after the first one dies lightning fast or get to the boss when they jump or run far away. The spec and logic behind it is awesome sauce and I take no credit. Thank you Frostheim. Karoma also moves so fast that he gets to the next boss before I can manually switch targets. How amazing is that?
Skoll used to be my DPS 5-man heroics pet and I do believe this soloing spec helps the healers with healing my pet and myself. This spec with Spirit Mend also allowed my pet to tank 3 mobs with Growl turned on, in a heroic after the tank and 2 dps died with the healer still up.

Skoll Spec (Solo, Pet Tank)
So why did Blizzard add more spirit beasts? ’Cause they are more leet than most non-BM hunters think. It is time to re-spec you MM and SV hunters and tame one.

That screen shot is my third find for Jadefang. I was trying to show my guild mate how to get up there and Jadefang was up. He was only level 82 so he killed it for the Tiny Shale Spider.
I tamed him my first time I found him. Then logged out another day, just for fun, at the spot. That night or sometime the next morning, I had a dream that I was moving Guntitan through the Crumbling Depths. Then I saw Jadefang up on my map with Beast tracking in his spot. In the dream I was trying to race to the spot and get up there. I’m not sure I made it up there.
The next morning I forced myself up to log on and check. _NPCscan and SilverDragon went off. He was there, strangely waiting for me, just offering himself up to my Gun and blade so I can take his baby. So wait maybe Jadefang is her?
