A ram named Finally

After one year and seventeen days I have finally had a toon ding 40! For those of you not in-the-know this means that one of my characters in World of Warcraft has hit the illustrious first milestone level of 40; all levels are milestones, but 40 is the first major one as you are, for the first time, eligible to purchase a mount.

For those of you in-the-know, I was in Dustwallow Marsh killing Dustwallow Crocolisks for The Grimtotem Weapon quest. I still had a few of the buggers to nab before the quest was done, so I finished those out and then hightailed it to Ironforge to pull all of the chainmail, I’ve been collecting for the past little bit, out of my bank and transfer some gold from my bank toon to Grindil for the mount purchase.

I don’t have a before picture, but trust me when I say he had some boring ass leather gear and a leather cap that made him look hilarious. Not that his new gear is all that, but it’s chainmail and it’s new to me! Woo! In case you hadn’t guessed already, Grindil is a Hunter. He’s also one of my very first toons, so it’s fitting that he should be the first to reach mount status.

I haven’t actually bought the mount yet, because I promised The Boy he could pick out the color. So, I’m waiting til I get home from the fencing tournament (North Carolina Youth Divisionals), I’m currently working, to make the actual purchase. He seemed pretty excited about it when I talked to him on the phone.

Hey, what’d you do with your kid today? Me? We slew DRAGONS!
