I’ve felt like Dragonflight‘s patch cadence and ability to get the things I want within the duration of a patch, or without excessive tailing into the next patch, hasn’t been too bad. That was only possible, though, because I was focusing on just one armor type — Cloth — and I was doing each patch’s activities with two level 70 characters of that armor type.
Since I’ve been trying to get all of the color variations (except the PvP one) of the Emerald Dream “outdoor” gear in Leather, I’ve been feeling increasingly frustrated that week after week, the one last piece I need to complete the collection just isn’t dropping for me. I’ve gotten so frustrated with it, in fact, that I began leveling my next-highest Leather-wearing alt, who happened to be my Highmountain Tauren Druid, just so that I could double up on the Emerald Dream weeklies until the RNG finally rolls up that last piece for me. I pushed her through to level 70 tonight, so that I’d have it done before Pandaria Remix begins tomorrow.
Sadly, Kasheena’s first run through the Emerald Dream weeklies didn’t get me the piece I want. To my further disappointment, Emerald Dream pieces obtained now aren’t eligible for Revival Catalyst conversion into Amirdrassil Tier. I guess I’ll have to do some Amirdrassil LFR to try to get that Druid Tier chestpiece.

My Warrior had also gotten into the mid-60s, so over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on getting her up to level 70, as well. I accomplished that on Monday, and was able to run her through the Emerald Dream weekly wrapper from Valdrakken. Although I’m still not going to make any great effort to collect Plate stuff, it’ll be nice to have a character who can Mog with the Plate appearances I’ll be collecting along the way as I do stuff with my Four Mains in Khaz Algar.

My Evoker is almost to level 67. I’ll probably manage to get her to level 70 before the War Within pre-launch event begins, too. In all previous expansions that have introduced a new Class, I’ve managed to get my character of the new Class to that expansion’s level cap before the next expansion. I keep telling myself, though, that because I’m just not jiving with Evoker as a Class or Dracthyr as a Race, it’s o-kay if I don’t get Kamalisaura to level 70 by the time War Within arrives…
