Annual Blog Post...

So it still appears I'm not very good at regular blogging.
It also seems like I remember to do this whenever there is a significant life event. My wife and I are currently waiting for the birth of our second child, so I will be ramping down the game time again imminently.

Where do we start? Palkei has been my main focus again for this expac so far. I only have the Mage alt at level 100 as well. Raiding has been going fairly well. We have been generally completing Normal modes and partly completing Heroics for both Highmaul and Blackrock Foundry. I'm still missing the normal kill of Blackhand himself, but just did it on LFR to get the achievement.
Immersion is a decent guild with a wide range of skills, and the guild leadership do their best to accommodate all the levels of play without excluding people. I'm still running mostly Holy for group content although the shared gear means my retri spec is awesome for solo content, especially legacy content.

On the non-raid front, my garrison is pretty much maxed out now. I have all but 3 of the non-Inn followers and am in the progress of grinding rep for the two factions I need for two of them. The last missing one is the legendary follower, and I'm 3/4 of the way to collecting the elemental runes needed for the next step in the chain. I also today got the Blue Drake mount from Eye of Eternity, which leaves only the Blazing Drake from Deathwing to obtain for the Awake the Drakes achievement and the Emerald Drake.

Gold making is no longer an active thing. The garrisons are churning out enough gold currently to allow me to buy most things I want so far. Mostly things are locked behind rep grinds etc rather than a gold barrier. Also the WoW Token is slated to be coming in the next few weeks, so there's always that as an option to get more gold if necessary.

I've also been a bit slack with the pet battling front. My current tally is 50 pet battles in Draenor so far... That may be something I pick up more if I only get 5-10 mins here and there to play whilst there is a new baby (and a 2 year old) around.

On a final note, I received my 10 year loyalty statue from Blizzard a couple of weeks ago. It was a nice gesture to the folks that have been with the game all the way from the beginning through all the highs and lows.
