LBR this weekend being Horde-side Sunwell, I took Kaelinda. After burninating our way through Sunwell, we went and roflstomped Kael’thas in Tempest Keep, too. Kay was the only cloth-wearer in the group, so she collected a pile of sweet items that I now need to work on putting together into Transmogrification kits.
But clothes weren’t the only thing that dropped.
Kael’thas dropped the Ashes of A’lar.
Everyone needed… and Kaelinda won!
A comedy of errors then ensued.
Kaelinda couldn’t learn the mount because she hadn’t yet purchased Artisan Riding. She couldn’t immediately afford Artisan Riding, either, even if I’d pooled all the money from all my characters on her server, due to my not caring much about the gold-making sub-game. After some discussion, the lovely Repgrind suggested that her Alliance Paladin, Kerick, who is on the same home server as Kaelinda, could buy something from her via the Gadgetzan AH. So that was decided upon… but we’d forgotten that then we’d have to wait an hour for the transaction to go through.
While we were waiting, Vanicus and Kerisa went to Gruul’s Lair. There, goodies dropped for both of us — Kerisa got her T4 shoulders and Vanicus got the Hammer of the Naaru. Now, Kerisa just needs those pretty blue T11 shoulders… and then she’ll have to come up with Transmogrification kits to go with her collection of Favorite Druid Tier shoulders.
Finally, enough time had passed that Kaelinda could collect Kerick’s kind donation from the mailbox.
Thank you so very, very much, Repgrind! <3
At ten minutes to LBR I got a hysterical email from a client, a good client or I would have ignored it till morning, lol. Thank you so much, it was great to get to hear how it went!
Yay! you look lovely on that mount and that Kerick, such a gentleman, Repgrind should be really proud of him!
Aww, I’m sorry you couldn’t come.
I didn’t know Repgrind very well before this, which makes me even more humbled by her gift.
Here’s my equation on folks.
Take the people you know I think incredibly highly of, such as yourself, Shoryl, Matty…now take my panther plan and know how disappointed I was I couldn’t afford one for you. Now consider how truly awesome someone MUST be to have gotten one from the limited pool I was able to afford.
Yeah, Repgrind is one who’s “that” awesome.
I heard about the mount drop later in the evening. That was so awesome to hear. I think me NOT making it is a good luck charm.
I’m still sorry that you couldn’t come, too, JD.
Grats Kamalia, that’s awesome! I’m a little bummed I missed tonight of all the nights, but happy for you the same
And, Repgrind ROCKS!!!
Thanks!
And, that’s for sure!
So glad Repgrind was able to get the gold to you so you could learn the mount. Congratulations on your new pretty mount!
Thank you! Someday I will have to find a way to pay that very generous gift forward.
Just too bad you can’t transfer gold cross-realm, otherwise there were several of us who would have given it to you right then. So glad he had the means to help on your realm.
Aw, thanks!
*incoherent screaming* YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS that is flipping amazing!!! Major grats!
XD XD Thanks!
Congrats again on the mount! I’m so glad we were able to get you on it in the end.
See, this was my payback for that lovely panther that JD gave me. So, you can pay ME back by doing something nice for someone else.
Thank you so much again!
I do hope I find a good opportunity sometime in the near-ish future to do something grand for someone else!
What do you mean payback?!?!
The only person who’s attended more LBR’s than YOU…is ME.
That’s fantastic! Grats on the mount and a great thing for Repgrind to do too.
Thank you thank you!
[...] stay, but the rest of us went ahead with the Sunwell plan, then pushed on to TK. The mount dropped. Kamalia won it on her little mage, who is looking quite lovely mid-fight in this pretty pink [...]
Wow! Grats, Kamalia!
And I’m not at all surprised that Rep helped you — she’s awesome!
TY! And indeed she is
Grats on an awesome mount.
A guildy of mine sooo wants that mount to, but we’ve been unlucky so far. She’s a bit sceptical if it even exists anymore. But I guess it still does
Now for some more flying screenshots ofc!
Thanks!
To be honest, I’d remembered about the pet dropping from Al’ar the boss, but I’d completely forgotten about Al’ar the mount dropping from Kael’thas, so I was pretty surprised when it popped up!
Grats! And that repgrind is a pretty cool person even if she likes to confuse the hell out of me by playing boy toons all the time …
That is so lovely, what a great story!
Thanks! Heh, I suppose I’ve gotten used to the “he/she” player vs character dichotomy with BTH, who prefers to play female Tauren
[...] days to say the least. First off, I’m seriously long overdue on congratulating Kamalia on her spanking new Ashes of A’lar. It was the result of something exotic finally dropping during a Laid Back Raid. I joked in the [...]
